Size in Detail:
Extending Your Off-Camera Shoe Cord
- The single best tip with regard to flash photography I ever got was to get the flash off the camera. Built in flash units and even external flash speediness mounted on the cameras hot shoe can leave your subjects with flat, harsh light and red eyes. It was this reason that I purchased a off camera shoe cord.
- If you have never seen or used an off camera shoe cord before, it does just as the name suggests. It allows you to move the flash off the camera. By connecting one end to your cameras hot shoe and the other to your flash you retain all the same features and abilities that you would if the flash was attached, but with the added bonus of being able to move it away from the camera axis. It is this small adjustment that gave my photos a much more pleasing look and completely eliminated red-eye.
- But there was one small problem. The one and only cord my manufacturer sold was a mere two feet (60 cm) long. This was OK if I wanted to use a flash bracket, or was going to stand extremely close to my light stand. But I had bigger plans. I wanted to use my speedier with a small soft box or umbrella, and I wanted to freedom to be able to move myself and the light where ever I wanted. And I wanted to do it without buying more equipment. The bottom line is two feet wasn't going to cut it.
- After some searching around I was came to the conclusion that I had two options if I wanted a longer shoe cord. First was a third party website that bought and modified the cords to be longer and then resold them. They seemed to be of good quality, and the reviews were positive, but they were not cheap and I had already spent a fair amount on the flash cord I already had. So I was left with only one option, modify the cord myself.
- I found a lot of spotty information on the web from other folks who had done similar things to their shoe cords. Then I came across an article from someone who used a Ethernet cable and a couple of jacks to extend their cord. It was brilliant and fit perfectly into both my budget and what I felt was my own personal skill level. So I headed out to the hardware store to pick up my supplies. When I got home I started what was both one of the scariest and most satisfying projects I have ever done.
- I say scariest because there are some obvious risks involved in this type of project. I would be cutting my (not cheap) flash shoe cord and splicing it together with an Ethernet cable and jacks. Because this cord carries electrical signals from the flash to the camera there was the risk that I could damage my flash, my camera, or both. In the end everything turned out fine and I have been using my modified cord for many months now with no problems what so ever. But everyone should be aware there is a potential for some very bad things to happen to your gear should you decide to do this yourself.
- The first step was to gather my supplies. All of them can be found at your typical hardware or DIY store. I used two Cat5e Ethernet jacks, some electrical tape, a Cat5e Ethernet cable (any length you want), and a sharp knife.
- Step one was to cut my Off Camera Shoe Cord in half. Inside I found five different colored wires and some bare copper grounding wire. I twisted the copper grounding wire into three strands because there was so much of it. I was concerned it would not fit neatly into the jack. I didn't have to do anything with the other wires because the jack was designed to cut through the shielding and make the connection on its own.
- The next step was to push the colored wires and the three strands of copper wire into the jack using the supplied tool. When I was done I trimmed off any excess wire as close to the jack as I could. I then repeated the process for the other half of my shoe cord. It was imperative that both ends were exactly the same. When it was all said and done I didn't want the red wire to connect to the green one or something similar. This was all made very easy because not only were the wires in the shoe cord colored, the places on the Ethernet jack were all clearly labeled. I simply made sure that the colors and labels matched up on each side.
- After that came my attempt at making it all look nice and to seal it up as best as I could. For this I used the electrical tape. It wasn't easy to wrap up going from a small coiled wire to a square jack. But as you can see it didn't turn out all that bad. I used a fair amount of tape and I check it frequently to this day. My biggest concern was that something was going to come lose and short out. But so far I have not had any problems.
- From there it was just a matter of connecting the respective ends to the camera and flash and using whatever size Ethernet cable I wanted to bridge the space between them. To date I have used up to 100 feet of cable and it hasn't shown any signs of loosing sync or misfiring. I probably could make it a little more visually appealing by using a black cable. But the blue works just fine and I am more concerned with the function over the form.
- All told the project cost me about $20 and took less than a half hour to complete and as I said earlier has been one of the most satisfying photography related things I have ever done. It has also been very practical as I use the cord often. The senior graduation picture below was taken using a small soft box with a speedier on a light stand connected to my camera with my modified shoe cord while I was about 35 feet away. Something I would have never been able to do with the original two foot off camera shoe cord.

It's been more than a month since the reassignment of Washburn High School's principal Carol Markham-Cousins, but about 150 people went searching for answers at the Minneapolis Public School District's board meeting on Tuesday.
The house was packed, the overflow room was full, and there was even a little spoken word poetry involved in protesting the district's move, which some criticized as being shortsighted.
"We are wondering why principal was asked to quit or to resign or sit behind a desk," read Antoine Duke, posing his question through prose.
Duke performed at the board meeting because he feels questions have gone unanswered for far too long. The Washburn High School graduate, now a resident teacher at the high school, wants to know exactly why his former principal was reassigned on April 11.
"There have been many distractions this year, to the point where we had to make an administrative decision," stated Minneapolis Public School's Chief Communications Officer Stan Alleyne.
Whether Markham-Cousin's reassignment had anything to do with her response to those who hung a black baby doll from the stairwell -- or the clash between herself and Athletic Director Dan Pratt, the general public may never know for certain because the school board is still being tight-lipped.
"We can't really get into the specifics of why we moved Mrs. Markham Cousins," Alleyne said Tuesday.
Yet, Markham-Cousin's was not everyone's favorite principal.
"We're glad she's gone," one female Washburn student exclaimed.
"We just don't think she had a positive influence on our school," another female student told FOX 9 in April.
Outside of Washburn Tuesday afternoon, some athletes expressed appreciation for the formal principal.
"I think she's a great principal personally, I don't think she did anything wrong ever, she was very nice, I don't think she deserved to be reassigned anywhere," said Washburn High School Junior Hunter Galles.
Another male student commended Markham-Cousin's ability to turn the school around academically in six years.
"I would agree with those students," said Rick Cousins, the ousted principal's husband.
Rick Cousins has known Carol Markham-Cousins for more than 40 years.
"This is the hardest thing that's ever happened to her in her life," he said.
Rick Cousins organized supporters to attend Tuesday's school board meeting. Among the students, teachers, and parents that took to the podium, all shared a common thread. A two-fold request:.
"One: An apology -- and two, I would love for her to get her job back." said Duke.
Carol Markham-Cousins currently works at the district's central office. There, she serves alongside associate superintendents performing diversity and equity work. When asked if Markham-Cousins will ever get her job back, Alleyne told FOX 9 she is still in the principal pool.
Alleyne also added he will not be surprised if Markham-Cousins picks up a role as principal again next year, but he did not specify exactly which school she would prospectively serve in.

According to Joe Reedy of the Enquirer, Thomas Howard's inability to participate was due to illness.

And how is it that Clary's mom was so hard for the evil forces to find when one was living in her building the whole time? Is this a magic world with no Internet or phone books?
well if you're referring to Madame Dorothea, she is not a force of evil. When Clary and the shadowhunters (Jace, Alec and Izzy) came to find the Mortal cup, madame dorothea was already possessed by the demon Abbadon, which kills her.
it's either you haven't read the book or you don't understand what you're reading.

Views against Honister Zipwire heard
Campaigners against the introduction of the Honister Zipwire have been expressing their views at the meeting:
– Jack Ellerby, Friend of the Lake District
"There are other sites in the National Park which can host a zip wire. This is the wrong location."
– John Bennett, Borrowdale and Buttermere Parish Councils
"Many people set off to Wainwright's Haystacks from Honister...in the future they may have to dodge screaming bodies."

GoLite Demaree Canyon 800 Fill Down Jacket
4-star: 1
3-star: 0

1-star: 0
This is a great 800 fill down jacket! Not too puffy,…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $100
This is a great 800 fill down jacket! Not too puffy, not too flat for high quality goose down. The Men's M/M is a perfect fit for 5'10"/160lbs.
- Even/uniform loft, sewn with enough compartments to prevent loft settling.
- Light weight
- Very comfortable fit/slim
- Zipper difficult to engage, still after 3 months.
This jacket fits great. It's cut with a slim torso. Arms are an appropriate length, with nice quality elastic cuffs. The collar's soft micro-fleece inner is very nice, however I expect it to start to get rough and pill from neck scruff friction. The hand pockets are very nice and soft with the same material, but it eventually picks up debris and will really light you up if you catch a hangnail!!!
Manufacturing appears to be of great quality, lots of separated areas to hold the loft in place. The vertical tubing at the side of the torso are great for keeping that core warmth. I find this to be a great insulating layer under a breathable shell when outside temperature is under 30 degrees F. Any higher, you're going to sweat! By itself, it's comfortable into the 30s with a base layer. I don't wear this jacket out as a primary, but I love wearing it around the house in the winter (thermostat=58F).
I would also be concerned with its abrasion resistance, one good briar snag will make you look like you were just in a pillow fight! There is one bungee adjustment around the waist, I've never needed to use it being such a trim fit. No report for water resistance, I never wear down in the rain as an outer. It seems to breathe fair enough comparing to any other down jackets; better than the puffy ones, not quite as good as the flat.
I keep this jacket stowed in its nice stuff sack when temperatures drop when backpacking (great pillow!). Overall, I really like this jacket a lot, however I grumble EVERY time I zip it up. I don't know if it's just this zipper, or this style of YKK zip.
After three months (autumn into winter), no concerns! This product only gets four stars because of that (grumble) zipper.

Price Paid: $200
Just received my jacket (in blue haze) from GoLite and I LOVE it. When I ordered it, I gave the customer service rep my arm and body measurements and she suggested a medium... I am 5'6'' and 135 pounds. It fits perfectly.
It is snug without being tight (I hate how most jackets pull when you put your arms in front of you... this does not), it has a beautiful contour at the waist and is super soft and comfy. The fleece neck is awesome and soft vs many jackets with the scratchy, stiff necks.
Best of all, I don't feel like a big cream puff wearing it... it is not bulky at all. It is very light and packs down tight yet is really warm.
I tested it out tonight in cold rainy weather and was thrilled with it, especially that rain beaded up on it and I stayed dry. Stylish, warm, practical, cozy... well worth the price. I love it and will wear it as much for daily life as I will backpacking and hiking.
As teh owner of an Eddie Bauer First Ascent Down Sweater (the equivalent of the GL Demaree Canyon jacket, I have reservations about buying any down garment the does not have "DWR treated" down. i.e. Dri Down, etc.

Gorgeous Place - A Perfect Family Vacation Spot!
We just returned from an our stay at this wonderful home, and there is no doubt we will return. Upon entry, you are immediately transported to the French countryside, with the home's architecture, light and decor. I spent hours sitting by the pool enjoying the view. The home has everything you could possibly need, especially if you have children - bocce, horseshoes, trampoline, a gorgeous pool, sand pit. Our kids had such a great time there and had plenty of ways to entertain themselves. The pool's sliding cover was a huge added benefit, since we have small children. The home is made up of 3 separate cottages, which was great in the evenings and mornings, because if one of the kids woke up early, I could take them to the main cottage to play so the rest of the family could continue sleeping. I have only been back home for 2 days and am already ready to book my next trip. It was absolutely perfect, and Christie (the owner) was great to work with.
Lovely home!
We had our family stayed over for a week and the house was perfect. The location felt remote and yet within 10-15 min drive to Safeway/Wholefoods and well located in terms of hitting the various wine country areas (Calistoga, St Helena, Yountville, etc.) We also did a couple bike rides leaving from the house. The pellet stove was a nice touch and kept the house warm. The hot tub was a plus and warmed up quite well and quickly considering it was November. The house is pretty bright, sunny, spacious and comfortable. Overall I would recommend this place for a nice get-away and I still have fond memory of my week spent there!

If your
child is suddenly hitting you up for 400 dollars, or your significant other
plans to hibernate this weekend, this could explain why.
The Sony
PlayStation 4 goes on sale Friday at midnight, and some fans can't wait to get
their hands on it.
Sony can't
wait to reap the benefits, either. The gaming unit sells for $399, which comes
out to $432.90 with taxes.
The PS4 does not include any games, so you will need to buy those separately, too.
Sony insists
it has an abundant supply of the consoles, and expects to sell three million
units by the end of the year.
"This is a marathon, not a sprint, but getting
out to a nice start is a good thing," Jack Tretton told Bloomberg News. Tretton
is the CEO and President of the company's U.S. computer entertainment
division. "We're very, very confident
we're in great shape," he added.
The PS4 only includes one controller and it does not include the PS4 Camera, so as the video shows, you will need to buy the camera and any extra controllers separately.
This new
machine also features online capabilities, where people can access movies and
TV shows.
Game Stop locations in the Central Valley plan to sell the consoles on a first-come,
first-served basis. But a manager says that when locations have the same number
of people in line as their supply of PS4's, locations will begin to turn people
away. He says the stores traditionally host a party for the launch.
Best Buy plans
to open at 12:01 a.m. on Friday to also accommodate shoppers.
You can

Consider this the beginning of gaming insanity; The Sony
PS4 arrives one week before Microsoft's Xbox One.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Follow the directions as for White Rabbit and take the right-most, right facing dihedral, as opposed to the left-facing one. This route is located just L of Verschneidung. If you enjoy the head game, this route is for you. The moves actually are fun, but potentially dangerous.
This is a death route. The Rossiter guidebook rated it 5.9 (no S in the Boulder Climbs South) and the route was described as S in the text. The route is VS. About 30' off of the big ledge you will do a balancey mover on poor rock with bad or no protection. Then you will place a red or brown tricam behind a bad flake and do some more 5.8+ moves to gain the dihedral. There is a right-hand traverse that has terrible rock- thus you can not use just any hold. The crux pro was a 2" cam behind a poor flake, 12' below and to the left of the crux on a long sling, then a few brass nuts in poor rock, 5' down, and a #3 BD stopper just below the move.

Online spending rose 15 percent during holidays
- December 28, 2011
- |
Reston-based comScore Inc. reports that online holiday spending in 2011 rose to more than $35 billion, a 15 percent increase from last year.
The company said $35.3 billion was spent online during the 56 days of the November–December holiday shopping season. The most recent week (ending Dec. 25) saw $2.8 billion in spending, an increase of 16 percent versus the corresponding week last year.
"Holiday e-commerce spending has remained strong throughout the season, and we have now reached a record $35 billion in U.S. online sales for the season-to-date," Gian Fulgoni, comScore's chairman, said in a statement. "We can now say with certainty that the $1.25 billion spent on Cyber Monday will rank it as the heaviest online spending day of the season for the second consecutive year, but we should also note that it was accompanied by nine other billion dollar spending days this year."
The company reported that one of the more striking developments in e-commerce in recent years is the dramatic increase in Christmas Day purchases of digital content and subscriptions, a retail category that includes digital downloads of music, TV, movies, e-books and apps. Many consumers get new smartphones, tablets, e-readers and digital content gift certificates for Christmas and then spend Christmas Day loading the devices with new content.
On an average day during the 2011 holiday season, digital content and subscriptions accounted for 2.8 percent of retail e-commerce sales. On Christmas Day the category accounted for more than 20 percent of sales.
ComScore monitors a wide variety of online activity.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - A person with knowledge of the trade says the San Francisco 49ers have sent linebacker Parys Haralson to the New Orleans Saints, who are in desperate need at the position as a pair of would-be starters are sidelined with knee injuries.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Monday night because neither team had announced the trade. It wasn't clear what compensation the 49ers would receive in return.
Haralson departed San Francisco team headquarters Monday night after saying his goodbyes before the team began a late practice, acknowledging that he had been traded while providing no further details other than, "I'm outta here."
Saints outside linebacker Will Smith will be sidelined for the season with a knee injury, a person familiar with the situation said. Victor Butler also is recovering from knee surgery that will sideline him most or all of the season.
The Mercury News first reported the trade was with New Orleans.
AP Sports Writer Brett Martel in New Orleans contributed to this story.

CATEGORIES Movie Reviews, Reviews, HorrorMega Piranha, directed by Eric Forsberg, 2010
Not all Syfy channel movies are created equally. Some are created by The Asylum and anyone who has seen Snakes on a Train or Transmorphers knows exactly what that means; low budgets backing completely nonsensical scripts brought to life by poor actors reacting to even poorer computer generated imagery. I know that's what most people expect from films that premiere on the Syfy channel, but some of them really aren't that bad. Some are a lot of fun because they're actually ambitious. What's the opposite of ambitious, though? Oh, yeah; the Asylum.
Sure, it's funny to see piranha double in size until they're jumping in and out of rivers like flying double-decker buses. And sure, I love lines like "We should have doubled the killatons", but Forsberg's film is just too damned boring for a movie called Mega Piranha. It delivers exactly what you expect and nothing more.
A Nightmare on Elm Street, directed by Wes Craven, 1984
Luke Mullen and I sat down to check out the new Nightmare on Elm Street Blu-ray out today. He should have a more in-depth review later on in the week that, judging from his review of the British Suspiria Blu, will probably be more technical detail oriented than my own, but I thought the disc looked great and sounded even greater. I don't think the image quality is quite as impressive as Paramount's Friday the 13th Blu-ray, which looks incredibly sharp for a 30-year old movie, but it's certainly the best presentation you'll find these days. I'd say it even looked better than the digital presentation I saw a few years ago during one of those Fathom Entertainment streaming presentations.
Tales From the Crypt Season 1, various directors, 1989
I recently finished picking up all the Tales From the Crypt season sets so I've begun rewatching the series from the beginning. I've seen the first few seasons a number of times over the years, but I have such an affinity for television anthology shows that I could watch stuff like this all day long. If I had to pick a favorite episode of season 1, I think I might have to settle on Walter Hill's The Man Who Was Death. Though I think that's a little obvious because everything Hill does is great. Okay...not counting Supernova.

(CNN) - How many times a day do people touch their smartphones - hundreds maybe? A new study says all those germs that we're inevitably leaving behind on our screens may be a useful tool for scientists.
Researchers say what we leave behind on our smartphones amounts to a personal "bacteria blueprint" - or a fingerprint that can tell us a lot about our health.
Researchers from the University of Oregon found that 82 percent of the most common bacteria, typically found on our hands, are also on our smartphones.
They say this means, to some extent, your phone is a reflection of a person and the trillions of micro-organisms on a person's body.
This could have important implications for the way researchers study health issues.
Researchers say using a person's cell phone could become a non-invasive way to look at how bacteria is passed and how long it stays in place - and to monitor health overall, giving almost a snapshot of what bacteria exists around a person.
Interestingly enough, the results in the study were stronger among women than men, though there is no clear reason why.
The sample size for this study was very small. They only looked at 17 people and only at touchscreen phones, but the findings are certainly interesting. Still, more study is needed.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS -- For more than 30 years, the Friends of the Children of Haiti, a Heart of Illinois-based group, has provided life saving medical care to tens of thousands of Haitian children and adults, with the help of local doctors.
Eric Behrens is the executive director of Friends of the Children of Haiti.
He says when then Tropical Storm Isaac tore through the island nation Saturday, it devastated the area surrounding the group's clinic and left the building without running water and electricity.
"We're concerned for the well being of our patients at all times," said Behrens. "They are completely reliant on us, and you know, without us there providing medical care, we are not sure they will survive. Under these kinds of circumstances, the situation is just worse."
Behrens says the group was planning to send a team of doctors to that clinic, which residents call 'kay la via' or 'house of life' in a couple of weeks.
They are scheduled to treat more than 2,500 patients.
But before that can happen, the clinic needs roughly $10,000 worth of repairs.

CHAPEL HILL — The town of Chapel Hill puts up a flurry of warnings for drivers as they approach pedestrian crosswalks at apartment complexes on two busy thoroughfares. Sometimes there are so many warnings that you might not notice an actual pedestrian waiting at the curb for you to stop.
On the right side of the street, the first sign points to a line of white chevrons in the pavement and says, in words and symbols, Yield here to pedestrians. Fifty feet down the road partly hidden by the first sign is a yellow-diamond crosswalk sign, with another arrow.
On the drivers left, in the center of this five-lane road, a low sign warns that state law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians. As you take all this in, your eye is drawn up and to the left, to another yellow-diamond crosswalk sign with an arrow.
This one is outlined in hypnotic yellow LED lights that blink on and off, on and off, night and day, whether or not there is anybody actually hoping to cross the street at that moment.
So, do university students and retirees and campus workers feel safe? Can they trust the drivers on East Franklin Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to stop for them at these super-duper crosswalks?
No, they dont stop, Verdell Williams of Durham, who works at UNC Hospitals and parks her car near an East Franklin crosswalk, said Monday. There have been times when I thought people were going to get run over.
Welcome to the pedestrian center of life as we know it. There is surely no town in North Carolina, at least, that worries more about the well-being of people who get around on foot. And no place that experiments with more ways to get people safely from one side of the street to the other.
Some experiments dont work so well.
In 2005, Chapel Hill installed bins with bright orange flags at a couple of busy intersections. The idea was that you take a flag and wave it in the air to get drivers attention as you walk across the street, then deposit it on the other side.
Alas, some pedestrians were so emboldened like turistas running with the bulls at Pamplona that they took reckless chances. They acted as if the flags would protect them even if they walked against a red light.
Pedestrian refuges
Chapel Hill is still perfecting the crosswalk, and it has made plenty of improvements around town. The walks on Franklin and MLK include raised medians in the center lane, known as pedestrian refuges. They make it safer to cross two lanes of traffic going one way, then take a breather while you wait for a safe opening in traffic going the other way.
The refuges certainly make it easier to cross, said Ed Harrison, a town council member and mayor pro tem. In recent years, because our bus use has gotten so heavy, you used to see these crowds of mostly UNC students standing out there in the center turn lane.
The town runs frequent campaigns, in partnership with UNC and the state Department of Transportation, to educate drivers about their responsibilities and pedestrians about their risks.
We dont want to give pedestrians a false sense of safety with the crosswalk, said David Bonk, the town transportation planning manager. Yes, they have a legal right to be out there. But that legal right takes a back seat when youve got a 2,000-pound vehicle coming at you.
Very dangerous sport
Godwin Chikwanda of Zambia, in town to visit his daughter, scowled as he waited for traffic to stop so he and his wife could cross Franklin beneath one of those flashing yellow signs.
It is a very dangerous sport, this, Chikwanda said. You have to stop and maybe put your hand up for them to stop. To me, this is negligence. The drivers are speeding so much.
There were a few rear-end collisions after Chapel Hill added those always-blinking LED lights last year. One driver noticed the crosswalk and stopped. The driver in the next car didnt.
Each driver in each car has a different brain, Harrison said. One may have a brain that reacts to the flashing light that says, Stop. And the one behind him may not.
Some Chapel Hill crosswalks have push-button signals, so pedestrians can make the cars stop. Kumar Neppalli, the towns chief traffic engineer, says he hopes to add a new kind of signal to some of the East Franklin and MLK crosswalks.
That might be a good idea, Williams said. She likes a push-button signal near the hospital that activates lights in the pavement itself.
Maybe if the lights were on the pavement here, they would maybe stop, Williams said on East Franklin, as cars roared past. Then she shrugged.
I dont know. They probably still wouldnt stop.

EYEWITNESS SPORTSHere Comes The Blixt; Jonas Blixt Wins The Greenbrier Classic
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported by: Mark Martin/Josh Lewis
Videographer: Josh Lewis/A.J. Good
July 7, 2013
Heading into the Greenbrier Classic, Jonas Blixt had struggled on the links. He had made the cut in just half of the 16 tournaments entered during the 2013 season.
But after earning his way into the weekend action at The Classic, he took care of business.
Blixt came back from a four-shot deficit to claim the fourth crown of the Classic. He finished his round on Sunday at 3-under which put him at -13 for the four days.
He managed to overcome leader Johnson Wagner, who was at -14 heading into the final day. Wagner had to settle for a four-way tie for second at -11 with Matt Jones, Jimmy Walker and Steven Bowditch.
For a fourth straight year, The Greenbrier Classic had final day drama. A three-hour, eight-minute rain delay had the tournament in danger of having to go to Monday for a finish. But the last groups moved quickly and concluded their rounds virtually in darkness.
Blixt joins Stuart Appleby, Scott Stollings and Ted Potter, Jr. as champions of The Greenbrier Classic.

Insurance Commissioner to CPUC: Tech "rideshare" companies must provide insurance
Rideshare companies must provide their drivers with insurance. That was the gist of a public letter released today from the California Insurance Commission, addressed to the California Public Utilities Commission, which regulates transportation network companies such as Uber, Lyft, and Sidecar.
"While smart phone technology is bringing new business opportunities to the marketplace and new transportation choices for consumers, our investigative hearing revealed serious insurance gaps in the current business model of Transportation Network Companies such as Uber, Lyft and Sidecar," Insurance Commissioner David Jones wrote in a statement to press. "As long as TNCs are encouraging non-professional drivers to use their personal vehicles to drive passengers for a profit, a risk which personal automobile insurance simply does not cover, TNCs should bear the burden of making sure that insurance is provided. Our recommendations will ensure there is insurance protection for passengers, drivers and pedestrians."
Whether the TNCs should provide insurance has been the subject of intense debate in state and local governments over the past year. The recommendations to the CPUC come specifically out of a hearing on TNC insurance that Dave Jones, the insurance commissioner, held March 21. The Guardian also wrote an editorial, "Sharing economy should share its wealth," calling for rideshares to provide insurance, not only because it's unfair competition (insurance costs money to provide, a burden taxi companies carry but not TNCs), but because people and TNC drivers in accidents were left for broke, lacking inadequate insurance.
A taxi driver-led protest calling for the CPUC to require TNC companies to provide insurance is starting at noon, today. Below we'll embed the insurance commissioner's letter to the CPUC.
[Update 4/10: Visit our story on the taxi driver-led protest, here.]
Insurance Commissioner Rideshare recommendations to California Public Utilities Commission on Lyft, Sidecar... by FitztheReporter
than have some bare bones minimum coverage as it typically prescribed by law
The state government has responded relatively quickly to the situation. This is a reasonable recommendation. I'm also surprised that the private insurance industry hasn't responded by offering supplemental coverage for individuals that participate in ride-sharing.
As far as the cab companies go however, I have little sympathy for them. The lack of available cabs has been in issue in the city for decades. The cartel hasn't been responsive to the needs of their customers. Now they're upset because they're getting competition. Using Uber to get a licensed cab is a much improved experience. If all we get from this "disruption" is a cab service better suited to the needs of consumers, then Uber and Lyft will have done their job.
Nobody should expect to provide a good or service, without ever improving it, and expect to stay in business.
I'd still rather have the option of paying less and having less insurance
As it is, I might have to offer my neighbor twenty bucks to drive me to the airport
I would agree. If you give your friend $20 in cash and they drive you to the airport and they get into an accident, their insurance will cover them and damage they may have caused. That isn't the case with Uber and Lyft. So there is a problem with UberX and Lyft in that regard. Drivers either need to carry their own insurance to cover them, or the ride sharing companies need to step up and offer it. The requirement to for auto insurance is liability - you need to be prepared to cover the cost of the damage for which you are liable. Comprehensive insurance is not required by law.
That won't get you very far on Uber and Lyft, even without insurance!
That aside, I find the whole concept kind of weird. If a friend asks me to drive them to the airport, I do it for free. If I charge them $50 bucks, which is what a cab costs, then I'm not much of a friend. I'm more like... a taxi! If I charge them $45 but without insurance, which is what Uber charges, then I'm a gypsy cab without insurance.
Now you may assert your "right" to save $5 and put your life into your own hands, and normally I'm all for that. But what about my right as a fellow user of the road who might get hit by the Uber driver speeding to take you to the airport, only to find out that his insurance refuses to pay once they realize he was using his car as a business?
And I want him to feel good about it so I give him $20.
So yes, I want a choice:
1) A regular cab, $60, lots of protections that I may or may not want or need
2) Uber, $40 with some protections
3) My neighbor, $20, no protections
You see, consumer choice!
as Uber. But the point is that I dont care because it is a risk i am happy with
So let me take risks if i want to
He is not the same as Uber. The Uber guy does it as a business. Your friend does it every now and then. If you want to argue that's a distinction without a difference, take it up with the insurance policy when they refuse to pay. It's their distinction, not mine.
for offering a ride until he becomes, in your opinion, a "professional"?
Once a month? A week?
Again, their distinction. Not mine. They're the ones who won't pay if they find out that you were using your car for business purposes.
are you making out like this is an issue?
It can be either due for the viruses, bots, or computer worms, Trojan horses and a
lot of such dangerous infections

over the course of making the relationship with property proprietors, you'll be capable of getting them to
comprehend that, in just about every real house purchase,
a percentage amount will be paid. In the conclusion, FSBO retailers don't preserve the commission. Rather, they try to win the
commission through conducting a strong agent's career.
In completing this, they commit their money and time for it to complete, as best
they might, the responsibilities of an realtor. Those
projects include disclosing the house via marketing and
advertising, showing the house to inclined buyers, developing an expression of buyer emergency to
be able to prompt the offer, preparing all about home inspections, taking about qualification check ups with the financial institution, supervising preservation tasks, and aiding the closing of the deal.

Insurance doesn't exist just for you. YOU might be willing to risk riding with a driver who has no insurance, but if that driver hits somebody, that person they hit didn't make the choice to get hit by a driver with no insurance. That's the difference.
But the driver would have hit that third party regardless of whether I was in the car.
They arose because taxi service in SF sucked and still sucks. Until the taxi companies are willing to move into the 21st century they will continue to lose business to companies like Uber and Lyft.

You cannot have both private and commercial insurance on the same vehicle. You have to have one or the other.
Have you taken taxi lately??? Much better in many aspects. At they have a camera for your safety and $1 million coverage. You can hail a cab using flywheel also. Cab drivers pay fees to sf. True community drivers. None of these tnc drivers pay a dime to sf revenues and they are contesting our roads.
But the only way was up. The cars could be nicer - that's for sure.
This will help prices go back up in the right direction to the benefit of the drivers....TNC free lunch may be ending
I work as a Realtor (I try not to be the evil, bloodsucking kind--I usually work with little old ladies who are selling their homes ). In the few times a year I take buyer clients to look at properties, I do it in my car, for which I pay an extra $400/year on my auto insurance policy. Yes, I hate paying it, but I see it as a cost of doing business and God forbid if I'm in a car wreck, I won't loose everything I own.
What I'm trying to say is that carrying adequate car insurance for your paying passenger is a necessary cost of doing business. If you can't afford it, then you need to be in another line of work.
realtor who is cheaper and I carry my own insurance. Or risk not having any.
All that uber and lyft has to do is hire drivers that present adequate proof of commercial insurance. This entire ordeal us the big "look the other way" scam for all working parties involved in rideshares. The company pretends that having personal insurance is okay because they have their added coverage (which will never kick in of course) and the driver plays along because they either don't realize the reality of the situation they are in, or they are just willing to take the risk to make quick money. I work for a restaurant delivery service as an independent contractor in a set-up similar to these rideshares. I finally got commercial insurance because I saw time after time accidents occur and that magic company liability insurance never kicking in. The scam is that by just having a liability plan it gives you the ability to hire drivers with only personal insurance policies. If this isn't the case, nobody works for these companies because the cost of insurance would be too high for most of the drivers to turn a profit. If the company insurance was legit, their would be no issues because people would know that the ride shares pay-out their victims, which they do not. If you want a real rideshare, just carpool. Uber and Lyft are just dispatch companies that use a bunch of, basically, independent contractors, and make a grip of money off them.

when you do not currently have an insurance policy or maybe you do not take part in any group insurance, you could possibly
well make use of seeking aid from a health insurance agent.

Select a frequently asked question.
What is Bluetooth® wireless technology?
Bluetooth® wireless technology is designed to replace cables for communication between personal communication devices. It is intended for both voice and data communications.
Why is the technology called Bluetooth®?
The Bluetooth® name refers to King Harald ''Bluetooth'' Blaatand, a famous Danish king of the 10th century, who unified Denmark and Norway. Bluetooth® wireless technology is aimed at unifying communication between the telecom and computing industries.
What is the history of Bluetooth® wireless technology?
Bluetooth® wireless technology was developed by Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia and Toshiba in early 1998. These companies later formed a special interest group known as the Bluetooth SIG. The Bluetooth 1.0 specifications were released on July 26, 1999. The technology has recently enjoyed widespread use for hands-free calling.
How does Bluetooth® wireless technology fit in with WiFi?
The IEEE 802.11b (WiFi) standard is commonly used for wireless networking. Bluetooth® wireless technology is not a competitor with 802.11b, but rather a complement to it. While 802.11b is generally a replacement for wired local area networking, Bluetooth® wireless technology is more commonly used as a replacement for cables between individual devices within a very short range (up to 33 feet). Bluetooth® wireless technology is part of the 802.15 standard.
What are some of the uses of Bluetooth® wireless technology?
Depending on the Bluetooth® profiles included on the device, Bluetooth® wireless technology has the capability to wirelessly synchronize and transfer data among devices. The Bluetooth audio capabilities can be used for headset and hands free applications. The exact functionality provided by a Bluetooth enabled device depends on the Bluetooth profiles included.
Is my BMW compatible with Bluetooth® wireless technology?
All BMW Assist-equipped vehicles produced 10/04 or later except 7 Series, which received this service effective with 3/05 production are compatible with Bluetooth® wireless technology. Refer to the
Compatible Vehicles
section for more information.
Additional information on the BMW Assist and Bluetooth system is available at
or call 1-888-333-6118.
Download BMW Assist
What are Bluetooth® profiles?
A profile is a description of how to use a specification to implement a particular function. The International Standards Organization (ISO) first came up with the idea of profiles. In Bluetooth® wireless technology, there are several profiles available and they are arranged in a hierarchical fashion. For example, in order to use the headset profile, a device must also include the lower level profiles such as the serial port and general access profiles.
What is the Bluetooth pairing (sometimes referred to as bonding) process?
Devices with Bluetooth® wireless technology must go through a pairing process with the handset before they can be used. Pairing is a special process used when two devices connect for the first time. The pairing process is used to generate a link key that is used for authentication purposes during subsequent Bluetooth connections between the two devices.
Will my handset battery usage time be reduced with Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled?
When Bluetooth® wireless technology is turned on, you may notice that the battery in your mobile phone discharges faster. Please consult your mobile phone Owner's manual for more information. BMW offers recharging cradles for many popular handsets
How do I connect my Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled phone to my BMW Pairing Details
To use your Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled phone in your vehicle, an initial one-time-only pairing procedure is required. To pair your phone, initiate Bluetooth® search mode in the vehicle. Then depending on the handset, initiate search mode or discoverable mode.* Once the vehicle finds the handset, a Bluetooth passkey is required to complete the pairing procedure. Please see
Currently Available Phones
section for more information.
What is the Bluetooth Passkey?
Some vehicles require a random passkey to pair the handset to the vehicle. You may choose any combination of 4 to 16 digits. Enter the passkey on the phone or vehicle, as prompted, and then the other device will ask you to verify it. Some vehicles require a fixed Bluetooth passkey for verification which is included in the vehicle's Owner's Manual. Vehicles with a fixed Bluetooth® passkey include:
2005 and earlier 3 Series Sedan
2006 and earlier 3 Series Coupe and Convertible
2008 and earlier 7 Series
2010 and earlier X3 SAV
2006 and earlier X5 SAV
2008 and earlier Z4
2006 and earlier M3 Coupe and Convertible
*Please consult your handset owner's manual to learn about your handset's Bluetooth® features and functions including turning on Bluetooth®, pairing procedures and other options.
How do I place a call?
To make a call, select an entry in your phonebook using your multifunction steering wheel keys, iDrive or radio controls. Then press the telephone or "speak" button to dial the desired number. It's that easy. In certain vehicles you can also use voice-activated controls, radio or on-board monitor keys to dial a number. See your Owner's Manual for details.
What is a Docking Cradle?
BMW's optional handset cradle* provides power for your mobile phone and helps keep the battery charged. Your hands-free system also includes an external antenna connection for improved reception and a safe-latching mechanism to keep the mobile phone in a secure location. BMW encourages you to purchase a center-installed cradle for your handset with Bluetooth® wireless technology. Please visit your
BMW Center
for a list of available cradles or visit
BMW Accessories
*BMW offers cradles only for certain phones with Bluetooth® wireless technology
Can I pair multiple handsets to the vehicle?
You can pair up to 4 handsets. As of Model Year 2011 BMWs, you may have up to three devices connected at the same time. In vehicles older than Model Year 2011, only one handset can be connected to the vehicle at a time.
Which handset will operate hands-free if multiple-paired handsets with Bluetooth® wireless technology are in the vehicle?
The vehicle will search for the most recently paired handset first. In most newer BMWs, it is also possible to select the desired device to be paired from the iDrive system.
Is there a video available to show me how to pair my handset to my BMW?
Yes, there are videos available. Refer to the
Owner's Manual
section and select your vehicle and associated video. Please consult your mobile phone owner's manual for more information.

One of those authors, Edzard Ernst, has dedicated his career to analyzing research on alternative and complementary medicine; he found that the supplement may be linked to adverse gastrointestinal effects. He told us, "Dr. Oz's promotion of this and other unproven or disproven alternative treatments is irresponsible and borders on quackery."
Still, people march into pharmacies or their physicians' offices every day asking for Dr. Oz-endorsed treatments — even when these treatments are backed by the barest of evidence or none at all. Oz's satellite patients spend tremendous amounts of money on products he recommends, a phenomenon that has been dubbed the "Oz Effect." After he promoted neti pots, for example, Forbes magazine reported sales and online searches for the nasal irrigation system rose by 12,000 percent and 42,000 percent, respectively.
Who can blame his viewers? Oz may be the most credentialed of celebrity health promoters. He's a professor and vice-chair of surgery at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He earned his degrees at Ivy League universities, namely Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. He's won a slew of medical awards (in addition to his Emmys) and co-authored hundreds of academic articles. He's clearly a smart guy with qualifications, status and experience. It's reasonable to assume he is well-versed in the scientific method and the principles of evidence-based medicine. "Because he's a physician, that lends a certain authority and credibility to his opinions," said Steven Novella, a clinical neurologist and assistant professor at Yale University School of Medicine who has taken Oz to task for his science. "But it lends credibility to anything he says."
And lately, a lot of what Oz has been saying is downright wrong.
To support the awesome assertions about the flab-fighter Garcinia cambogia, the doctor created on his TV show an atmosphere of accessible scientific certainty. He brought out researchers and physicians in white coats who discussed what they said was compelling evidence for the weight-loss panacea. There was an inspiring testimonial from a member of the audience. Plastic models even demonstrated how garcinia could suppress appetite and stop fat from being made. The show had the same easy manner as Oprah discussing Leo Tolstoy with her book club.

From: VOICES for Alabama's Children;
The Board of Directors of VOICES for Alabama's
Children has announced the retirement of Executive Director Linda Tilly at the
end of the year. Tilly has been with the statewide child advocacy nonprofit
organization for over 17 years.
Leigh Hancock, President of the Board of Directors of VOICES, comments, "We
want to thank Linda Tilly for her exemplary service to our organization. For 17
years, she has been a tireless champion for the health, education and
well-being of Alabama's children and has positioned VOICES as the leading child
advocacy organization in the state of Alabama. She has built strong
relationships across sectors which have facilitated collaboration by nonprofit's
and government on many pressing issues."
A former marketing director in the corporate sector, Tilly joined VOICES in
1996 as Executive Director. With her guidance, VOICES has become a leader in
Alabama for child advocacy and a credible source of information on child
well-being for media, policymakers and other nonprofits.
VOICES is the only organization to document child well-being in all of
Alabama's 67 counties in its annual Alabama Kids Count Data Book.
Since the publication of the first national KIDS COUNT Data Book,
Alabama has consistently been in the bottom five states in child well-being
indicators. However, the 2013 KIDS COUNT Data Book, released in June,
ranked Alabama 44th in child well-being: its best ranking to date.
During Tilly's tenure, VOICES played a major role in the creation of the
Children First Trust Fund and the funding of health care under ALL Kids for
children not eligible for Medicaid. Also, VOICES played a key role in the
passage of a bill establishing statewide child death review teams and in the
creation of child passenger and teen driver safety laws to help reduce child
injuries and deaths in Alabama.
Under Tilly's leadership, VOICES also has been a strong advocate for pre-k.
Since 2006, as a founder of the Alabama School Readiness Alliance, VOICES has
worked to grow the budget for high-quality state funded pre-k from
approximately $5 million to over $28 million. VOICES helped secure $9.4 million
during the 2013 legislative session for the expansion of Alabama's nationally
recognized First Class pre-k program.
Suzanne Respess, Vice President, Government Relations at Children's of Alabama,
comments, "Since VOICES inception in 1992, Children's of Alabama has
been a strong supporter and partner. The organization has raised the
public awareness and significantly impacted the well-being of children in
Alabama over the past two decades. We are confident that VOICES'
board will bring in new leadership that continues to identify and lead
positive change for children and for Alabama's economy."
Tilly said that she is excited about the future of VOICES.
"After more than 17 years, my passion for improving the well-being of Alabama's
children will continue and I plan to support the new leadership of VOICES in
any and all ways that I can," Tilly said. "I think it's appropriate that, as
VOICES enters its third decade, new leadership with new approaches will be at
the helm."
The Board of Directors established a transition committee earlier this year
that includes former board leadership as well as current and future board
leaders. This committee has been working with TransitionGuides, a nationally
known consulting group based in the Washington D.C. area. The investment in
this transition process has been underwritten by the Maryland-based Annie E.
Casey Foundation, which views the work of VOICES as critical to its mission to
improve the well-being of children in the U.S.
VOICES has retained TransitionGuides to assist in identifying and recruiting
candidates for this position. Please e-mail cover letter, resume,
and salary requirements to firstname.lastname@example.com

And healthy living and romantic meals aren't mutually exclusive. We've rounded up 10 foods considered sexy for their suggestive shape, texture, or color, and found recipes so you can add them to your romantic Valentine's meal. If you're on the prowl for a healthier love potion, check out these sexy, healthy recipes that might just help you get in the mood. Artichokes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It is said that in the Middle Ages, women were forbidden to eat artichokes, due to its blossoming thistles' aphrodisiac qualities. It was Henry II's Italian wife Catherine de Medici that broke the artichoke's gender barrier; she ate them regularly and fed them to her king. The sensual experience of eating an artichoke — stripping the leaves and scraping their flesh with your teeth — was probably not lost on Marilyn Monroe. Before earning the title of "ultimate sex goddess," the starlet was crowned the first California Artichoke Queen in 1949. Good for your liver as well as your libido, the artichoke is high in fiber and calcium. Source: Flickr User mDavisPhotography 1 / 20 Marinated Artichoke Hearts What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Since fresh artichokes aren't in season until Spring, surprise a special loved one with a jar of homemade marinated artichoke hearts. This easy recipe uses frozen artichoke hearts and everyday spices. 2 / 20 Asparagus What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Due to its phallic shape, asparagus is said to "stir up lust in man and woman." Aside from its suggestive form, this veggie is incredibly nutritious. High in vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, and potassium, 19th century French bridegrooms often ate several helpings of asparagus to fortify their manhood for their upcoming honeymoon. Source: Flickr User piX1966 3 / 20 Asparagus Pizza What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Asparagus on pizza may sound strange, but this combination of creamy ricotta, pungent garlic, and a zesty lemon vinaigrette is guaranteed to surprise, in a good way. 4 / 20 Avocados What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sharing a creamy avocado with your loved one may be just the thing to start any Valentine's Day meal. Considered an aphrodisiac by the Mayans and Aztecs, it is said to enhance sexual desirability. This fruit is also considered a traditional remedy for erectile dysfunction — holy guacamole. The avocado is beneficial for body parts above the belt as well. It is high in omega-3 fatty acids, known to promote heart health. Source: Flickr User bgmills 6 / 20 Avocado Toast What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Salty, spicy, and slightly sweet, this creamy and crispy avocado toast is an entirely sensual experience in one bite. 6 / 20 Bananas What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Due to its shape, the banana seems an obvious choice for a list of healthy, sexy foods. But bananas are also high in bromelain, which some studies have shown enhances male performance. Bananas are also high in potassium and B vitamins — necessities for sex hormone production. On other health issues related to the heart, potassium helps fight high blood pressure. Source: Flickr User 24orangesnl 7 / 20 Fruit and Nut Butter Panini What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 On the morning of Valentine's Day, offer your sweetie this banana, fig, and almond butter sandwich. Served on a sesame seed-topped raisin roll, it's warm, fruity, and delicious. 8 / 20 Basil What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The heady scent of basil has been said to drive men wild. So much so that women have been known to dust their bosoms with dried or powdered versions of this spicy herb. While basil may help increase circulation and promote heart health, it has long been associated with stimulating sex drives and promoting fertility. A fruitful combination, don't you think? 9 / 20 Eden 1500º What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Enjoy a healthy dose of basil in your next libation. Shown here: the strawberry-muddled Eden 1500º. 11 / 20 Carrots What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Greek and Romans believed carrots to be a sexual stimulant, most likely due to their phallic shape. Early Middle Eastern royalty considered this tuber, loaded with beta-carotene, antioxidants, and minerals, to be a seduction aid when cooked in sugar. Source: Flickr User clayirving 11 / 20 Smashed Carrots What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 These carrots are as velvety and luscious as whipped potatoes. 12 / 20 Chocolate What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We all know the power of chocolate, so it's no surprise that it's considered an aphrodisiac. Containing both sedative and stimulative qualities, chocolate relaxes and lowers inhibitions while increasing the desire for physical contact. Chocolate was actually banned from some monasteries centuries ago. The Aztecs knew chocolate as the "nourishment of the Gods," and their emperor Montezuma ate it before many a romantic interlude. Although researchers believe chocolate's ability to act as a sexual stimulant is limited, it seems to be the way into many hearts — hence its prominence on Valentine's Day. Just be sure to make your chocolate dark, since it is considerably healthier than the milk variety. Source: Flickr User johnloo 13 / 20 Chocolate Hazelnut Spread What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For a rich treat that you can enjoy without feeling guilty, look no further than this homemade Nutella. Slathered on toasted bread, it's decadent but not over-the-top. 14 / 20 Figs What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Due to their high seed content, figs have long been associated with fertility and are considered an aphrodisiac because of their shape and texture. The fig harvest was celebrated by the ancient Greeks with a wild copulation ritual. Remember that the ancient Greeks also created democracy, so maybe they were onto something. Source: Flickr User fishbone1 15 / 20 Figs in a Blanket What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you're lucky enough to track down figs right now, try stuffing them with fresh goat cheese and enveloping them with paper-thin pieces of prosciutto. 16 / 20 Oysters What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It is not only that oysters are slippery and sensual, they are considered an aphrodisiac because they can change their sex from male to female and back. Oysters understand both the feminine and masculine experience of love. Source: Flickr User chefmattrock 17 / 20 Oysters on the Half Shell What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Is there really anything quite like a platter of fresh oysters on the half-shell? Serve them ice-cold with champagne vinegar mignonette. 18 / 20 Strawberries What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Heart-shaped strawberries are the symbol of Venus, the Roman goddess of love. It's almost as if these berries are aphrodisiacs by association — the word aphrodisiac is based on the name of Venus's predecessor, the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. Also known as fruit nipples, strawberries are said to whet one's sexual appetite. In fact, French newlyweds are served this fruit before embarking on their honeymoons. Source: Flickr User manchester-monkey 19 / 20 Chocolate Covered Strawberries What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Combine the power of two aphrodisiacs with chocolate-dipped strawberries. They feel decadent and special, but you'll be shocked by how easy they are to re-create at home. 20 / 20 10 Sexy, Healthy Foods For Valentine's Day originally posted on POPSUGAR Food 40 15 0 0 0 Read More Valentine's DayAphrodisiacsRecipesFood recipes The Foolproof Method For Grilling a Juicy, Flavor-Packed Steak 3 hours ago 28 Ways to Get Your Berry Fix Before Summer Is Over 7 hours ago End Summer on a High Note With Peach-Salsa-Topped Salmon Tacos 15 hours ago A Terrific Tart Cherry Pie You Can Enjoy Year-Round 1 day ago Beyond Spaghetti: 10 Things to Do With Pesto 1 day ago The Easiest Ice Cream Cake You'll Ever Make 1 day ago Valentine's Day 23 Unforgettable First Date Stories 1 day ago Stop — You're Washing Your Lingerie All Wrong! 6 days ago 85 Types of Kisses Everyone Should Experience at Least Once 7/21 All the Adorably Geeky Inspiration Your Engagement Photos Need 7/11 Embrace Your Foxy Side With This Fresh Take on Boudoir 6/10 Lock Your Love, and Throw Away the Key 6/09 Get a Personalized Fitness Newsletter!
