Great - Iphone 5 shell
Comments about Staples, Apple iPhone 5/5S TPU Shells, Purple & Coral 2 Pack:
My daughter was looking for a rubber shell case for her Iphone 5. The kind that's easy to take on & off. She keeps "emergency money" behind her phone just in case. I had a hard time finding these but found a set of 2 for only $5.00 at Staples. WHAT A DEAL!! The colors are bright and fun and the case is exactly what she was looking for. At 13, they change these cases often so finding good quality at a good price is important. Staples offered both to me in this purchase and I'm very grateful. Her friend now want them too!

Big theater sound can come from small speakers—if they're good speakers with a good subwoofer. Audioholics took a look at a new system from well-respected brand Bowers and Wilkins. The MT-50 combines five M-1 satellite speakers and an 8" 100 watt subwoofer.
Audioholics liked a lot of things about this system, starting with the clever way the speaker conceals the wire connections, so there's nothing sloppy about the installed look of the speakers. The reviewer also liked all the connection and adjustment options on the ASW608 subwoofer.
Overall Audioholics said the system sounded "a lot bigger than it is" in movies. The system also did a good job with music, but needed a little tweaking.

I am starting to feel a bit like Sybil...like therre are two personalities inside of me. This is never more evident than when I am working out. I hear the old me telling me to stop...it is too hard..I am going to DIE!!!! But then the new me kicks in and shuts her up, tells me I CAN do this and to KEEP GOING. I read a post this morning about the head catching up with the body, and I truly don't know if that will happen for me. i walk through the kitchen and fat me see the debbie cakes and ALMOST reach for it,but the new me slaps her hand and reminds her of all the work I have done and how far I have come. I think the fat girl will always be there, but the new me is just going to have to smack her down, lay her out, land a couple pile drivers and knock her out.
As I have said in a previous blog music is hugely motivational for me. The song "Everlong" has a line that says "The only thing I'll ever ask of you...you gotta promise not to stop when I say when" is so true for me right now. Fat me wants to say when. This is a thin as I have ever been, and going beyond this point is a bit scary for fat me, but new me is excited and looking forward to it. When fat me wants to stop running, new me thinks about how HOT I will be and doesn't stop even though old me is SCREAMING when. This is a promise I make to myself, to not quit this time, to not give up, to not stop when I say when (except at the table)
copied over from my weight loss surgery forum blog on another site...I know not EVERYONE is on Spark because they had weight loss surgery...but hopefully you can relate!
As part of my endeavor to run a 5k in October, I have been putting together playlists. Full of emotional, upbeat, motivating songs (and some fluff as well I'll admit it) Best of you by the Foo Fighters is a really big motivator for me. I think it is meant to be about abuse and putting up with crap from a significant other, and how someone is getting the best of you and not getting the BEST of you at the same time. When I hear that song, I think about how I used to abuse myself, with food, with negative thoughts, with lack of exercise, and with self-loathing. As Dave Grohl say-I REFUSE!!! I am no longer willing to do that. I will NOT get the best of me anymore, and myself and others WILL be getting the BEST of me. I REFUSE to give less than my best to ANYONE! And that includes standing up for myself, taking time out to work out, eat the right things, spend time with friends and staying home when I need to, in order to give the BEST of me to those that count.
Also have been thinking about addiction alot. As a mental health counseling student I have learned about addiction both from a physiological and a psychological viewpoint. I used to feel very superior to those who "gave in" to addiction. Someone said to me once, very bluntly..Dude..no one wakes up in the morning and says :"I wanna be a crackhead." The truth of those words hit me like a rock, and my thinking began to change. I now can admit without shame that I am addicted to food. GBS and the restrictions it places on food intake was a detox for me. Like a baby, we start out on milk or formula (protein drinks) then move on to baby food (purees) then soft foods and finally, onto table food. During this progression I learned to think about food differently. It is fuel. It is nutrients. It is essential. Do I still enjoy it? HECK YES!!! And like any other kind of addict in recovery I must battle it everyday, make choices based on priorities and on what will lead me to my goal of health. Have I relapsed. Yeah, I have. But also got "back on the wagon" and pressed forward. Recovery is not linear, there WILL be ups and downs along the way.
Which leads me back to the playlist. Yesterday I added "Life Is Beautiful" by Sixx AM (you know good ole Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue? Yes I know I am OLD) It says there is nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home. Another line says there's nothing like a funeral to make you feel ALIVE! Just swear on your life, that no one will cry at my funeral. We all faced death when we went under the knife for our procedures. There was blood involved. We have paid a serious price to be ALIVE and I for one will NOT waste it. I will work, sweat, cry, BLEED, whatever it takes because I am ALIVE today in part because of my choice to get healthy. When I die, hopefully at the ripe old age of 120, I don't want people in the back of the church to be whispering that is is a shame I didn't take better care of myself, and how this has motivated them to do lose weight/start exercising/quit drinking/etc. because they don't want to end up in a box before their time. I've been to funerals and thought the same thing. I watched 2 young, obese cousins DIE from complications from obesity. And it took me years to get here, and lot of soul searching, and a lot of false starts. But I went into surgery thinking that if I died, I would die trying. Today I think that I want to LIVE and I want to live WELL! These are the things that keep me going on that treadmill when the old me wants to quit and lay on the couch.
That and Poison's "Nothing But a Good Time." Bret Michaels is old too but he is still HOT (I told you there was fluff).
I had gastric bypass surgery. I have lost some weight. Am I the same person? Essentially, I will say that yes, I am still the geeky, Harry Potter loving, vampire craving, irreverent smartypants I have always been. I love my husband more than ever, I love spending time with my daughter, reading, cooking, etc. But there ARE some clear differences. Some are small, like the fact that I now make time to work out, do not plan social events around food, not only do but ENJOY yoga, and am training for a 5k. These are things I never in a million years would have done or made a priority in the past. There are other changes too, like the fact that I will put my and my families needs above others, and that I no longer take any bull-crap!! I have the confidence to stand up for myself and go after what I want. I will not be disrespected or marginalized any longer. I may no longer be the "elephant" in the room but boy am I going to make sure you know I am there!! So yes, I am the same me. I am simply an improved, healthier me. And if you don't like it...don't let the door hit you on your way out of my life! And no, that doormat you just stepped on..it was NOT me!
I bet you think this blog is about you....
I am down 50 pounds from my highest weight. I haven't weighed this in at least 4 years. I still have a looooog way to go, and I'm still a pretty big girl, but I have noticed that I am paying MUCH more attention to my appearance lately. For example, this morning I dressed neatly, did something quick but cute to my hair, and put on at least minimal makeup just to drive my daughter to day camp and back, and start my work at home job!!! Previously I would have been lucky to get out of my pajamas and brush my hair at all for this type of task! It kind of worries me. I have always despised the "barbie girls" who always try to look so perfect, but perhaps there was a bit of jealousy to that feeling as well. Also I think that when I was almost 300 lbs it kind of felt like lipstick on a pig (literally)!!!! So now I always have to have on nice clothes and makeup on when I leave my house in case I see someone I haven't seen for awhile. I want them to NOTICE me and the lbs I have dropped from my frame. Just as long as I don't turn into plastic!!!!!!!!
This morning on the way back from taking my daughter to her summer day camp I saw not one, not two, but THREE fit, trim people out for their morning run. I WANT to be one of these people!!! Many of the people I admire both in real life and on Spark are or have been runners. For several years I have toyed with the idea of being a runner. I have committed to it, blogged about it, even started a couch to 5k challenge here on sparkpeople. I have never gotten past the first week or so. IT IS SO HAAAAARD!!!! (I say in my best whiny 3 year old voice) Something inside keeps telling me I CAN'T do this.
I WANT to do it. Just like I WANTED weight loss surgery, and I made that happen. Just like I WANTED to go back to Grad school to become a counselor, and I made that happen. So I am NOT going to set a goal, make any commitments, or tell myself I HAVE to do it. I WANT to do it, so in my rebellious and contrary mind, perhaps that will be the key to making it happen. Who knows, I may find out that I am not a runner, but a cyclist, a swimmer, a yoga enthusiast, or even a roller derby girl (another thing on my bucket list!!) but I am on a quest to find MY fitness. I have to...because more than anything I WANT to be ALIVE, healthy, and fit. Because when the zombie apocalypse comes I need to be able to outrun the walking dead and be strong enough to chop off heads with an axe........ ;)

"The Jingle Punks office got hot and sweaty (hey, it was August) during the latest installment of our in-office concert series The Champagne Sessions, and who can blame us? The musical guest this time around was JP artist Hurrah! A Bolt Of Light!
The New York-based Hurrah! traffic in reach-for-the-skies, anthemic tracks, none of which lost any energy in an 'unplugged' setting.

Huff, 36, says he is 'pretty much retired'
Huff's name was raised when Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira suffered a sprained wrist that will sideline him eight to 10 weeks. But the 36-year-old Huff told the San Francisco Chronicle on Thursday, "I'm pretty much retired."
He has battled injuries and depression the past two years and seems at peace in retirement after 13 years in the majors and two World Series titles in San Francisco over the past three seasons.
"I have no regrets," he said. "I love it. I'm having a great time with my wife and kids. I don't even have an itch to pick up a baseball bat. I wondered if I'd feel that desire when everybody reported to spring training, but I didn't."

Computer Programs Making It Difficult for Veterans to Obtain Benefits
Updated: Friday, February 8 2013, 08:12 PM EST
A flawed computer program is making life difficult for potentially millions of veterans. A new, nearly 300 million dollar digital system was supposed to speed up claims.
After they come home Veterans known battle is still looming when it comes to obtaining benefits from the VA. A new process that is called the Veterans Benefits Management System was thought to be the answer to many complains over the time it takes to process Veterans claims.
As it turns out the new, costly system is a complete failure and makes the process far worse than before.

Hunger Games
GMO foes are turning starving, drought-prone Africa into their latest battleground
ENGARUKA, Tanzania -- When the bell rang at midday, students fetched tin bowls and lined up under trees in the schoolyard for scoops of corn and bean porridge.
Not one of them displayed the food fussiness often seen in American school-lunch lines.
After the rainy seasons shortchanged this Maasai village in northern Tanzania, children here suffered too many days when there was no porridge -- no food at all to eat in their mud-and-stick huts. Drought is to blame for a good share of their suffering.
Scientists are developing drought-tolerant corn, something that could ease hunger across Tanzania and sub-Saharan Africa. But the corn can't be planted here because it was genetically modified. Opponents of genetically modified crops have made a stand in Africa -- and now villages such as Engaruka are squarely in the middle of a global ideological war over agricultural technology.
Since U.S. farmers first adopted genetically modified organism (GMO) crops in 1996, 17 million farmers in 29 countries have followed suit. Europe rejected the crops, though, arguing farmers would be exploited by large seed companies and that more research is needed into possible risks to the environment and food safety. And European activists have pressured Africa to do the same. Just four African countries -- Sudan, Egypt, Burkina Faso and South Africa -- have allowed them.
No one denies Africa's hunger -- and now that problem takes on new urgency with UN projections that Africa's population will quadruple by the end of this century.
Still, the question of which approach is best for Africa remains hotly disputed. It tears at Tanzania, where 80 per cent of the people live by subsistence agriculture.
African countries and research organizations, working together in the Water Efficient Maize for Africa project, have incorporated a gene from a common soil bacterium into corn, enabling plants to produce kernels even while short of water. The modified corn is expected to increase yields by 25 per cent during moderate drought.
Tanzania is a member nation in the project. But regulations it adopted in 2009 have effectively blocked GMO crops.
Under a "strict liability" rule, anyone associated with importing, moving, storing and using GMO products is liable if someone makes a claim of harm, injury or loss caused by the products. Such a claim could reach beyond personal loss or injury to include damage to the environment and to biological diversity.
Under that policy, no research organization has dared to introduce genetically modified crops into Tanzania's fields.
At the Mikocheni Agricultural Research Institute in Dar es Salaam, plant virologist Joseph Ndunguru has genetically transformed cassava to resist viruses that are devastating the crop. Instead of starting field trials, Ndunguru is waiting for new regulations.
"There is a lot of fear," he said.
He and other scientists have urged Tanzania's government to shift to a "fault-based" regulatory approach under which a heavier burden of proof would fall on someone claiming harm or injury.
Pushing the government from the other side is the Tanzania Alliance for Biodiversity, a coalition of environmental and organic-farming groups.
"Whoever introduces GMOs should be responsible for what happens on the ground," said Abdallah Mkindi, alliance co-ordinator.
Mkindi said scientists serve as a front for multinational seed companies. If regulations were relaxed, he said, companies could hold small-scale farmers ransom, and food security would be threatened.
"Multinational companies are simply here to expand their business," Mkindi said. "GMO is not a solution to famine."
Europeans have profoundly influenced African attitudes by rejecting genetically modified crops, Ndunguru said.
"People go to the Internet, and they read the information put there by European anti-GM groups, and they ask, 'If this technology is safe, why don't the Europeans use it?' "
Now, some experts are accusing European activists of placing ideology above Africa's food security.
"Opposition to biotechnology in Africa started before there was much scientific research on the subject outside South Africa. So Africa's first import was opposition to the technology before the products got there," said Calestous Juma, a Harvard professor of international development and a native Kenyan. "This was because the (European Union) constructed a resistance industry and exported it through a variety of channels."
American advocates for GMO crops have been busy in Africa, too.
Support for the Water Efficient Maize project came from the U.S. Agency for International Development as well as the Bill and Melinda Gates and the Howard G. Buffett foundations. The project's drought-tolerance gene came from Monsanto, which has said the seeds will go royalty-free to African farmers.
Other GMO research targeted for Africa also is backed by American money and know-how.
One target has been the vitamin A deficiency that causes blindness in millions of African children. Helen Keller International is involved in engineering orange-fleshed sweet potatoes to deliver extra helpings of the micronutrient the body transforms into vitamin A. St. Louis-based Donald Danforth Plant Science Center is working in Kenya and Nigeria to boost that pro-vitamin A and other nutrients in cassava.
Behind the individual projects, GMO foes suspect a conspiracy to slip American agribusiness into Africa.
While the global debate rages, many families in Engaruka remain perilously close to starvation after recent droughts destroyed crops and killed 65 per cent of the livestock.
Before 2009, Thomas Saitoti'o said he owned 30 cows. Now he has just two. His family lost its cushion against the next drought. The family ran out of food in April and was saved by a government handout of corn.
At the end of the dirt path leading to the next house, Juliana Saitoti sat shelling beans. Thanks to rain this year, her family had food in September, even eggs for the children.
But, with the dry season, food would run out in October.
"Then we will not have enough to eat," she said.

But even one star hotels don't get off easy. They have to have a shower, daily cleaning, colour TV, table and chair, but no room telephone.

What's your approach to window management on Windows?
I often have many applications running simultaneously on my Windows desktop with some applications having several Windows open.
I've never been totally happy with Window management on Windows (especially after spending time using OS X and getting familiar with Expose and Mission Control on OS X). I've tried a few Expose/Mission Control clones but have not been happy with any of them.
At the moment I just use the built in alt-tab and aero peak.
What's your approach to window management? Are you satisfied with the built in options?, or do you use 3rd party utilities?

A narrow position
The Supreme Court this week rapped the knuckles of the Obama administration for arguing that law enforcement officers did not need a court order before slapping a Global Positioning System device on a suspect's car and then tracking him around the clock for weeks on end. It was a welcome decision, as far as it went — which was not far enough.

Am I Selling Books Just Because My Books are Cheap?
Self-published author Catherine Ryan Howard ponders her e-book pricing strategy: In the midst of the Polly Courtney hullabaloo over the term "chick-lit", I happened upon a somewhat snide blog comment that suggested Courtney would do better if she were to return to her self-publishing roots and "sell her books for 10p on Amazon". The implication being that self-publishing success stories, which invariably feature e-books being sold for sofa change, are only success stories because those e-books are being sold for sofa change.
Now I'm only in the minor leagues of self-publishing success, but I have had some: since March 2010 I've sold around 8,500 copies of a travel memoir of sorts, Mousetrapped, and have topped the charts in no fewer than three of Amazon's most obscure categories. (Like Kindle store–> Kindle E-books–> Non-fiction–> Travel–> United States–> Regions–> South–> South Atlantic, for instance. Yup, that baby's all mine...) But would I have sold anywhere near as many if I'd charged more than $2.99 (about £1.90) for them? And if the answer to that question is no, what does that mean for traditional publishers – who, forgive me Self-Publishing Overlords, I call "proper" publishers – and their £9.99 e-book price-tags? And if I can only sell bargain books, is that my cue to abandon my writerly dreams and start crying uncontrollably into my coffee?
Why did I charge $2.99 for my e-book in the first place? It was because that price achieves three things:
1. $2.99 is low enough for people to take a chance on my book without being so low that they might subconsciously conclude that it's worthless. Mousetrapped was my first book, the first real bit of writing I sent out there into the world; I had no track record, no name recognition and no evidence that I hadn't written 70,000 words worth of total poop. To compound this problem, the book was self-published. No qualified and trusted professional publishing type (e.g. an agent, an editor, a bookseller) had said, "Thanks to my x years of professional experience in this industry, I can certify this to be A Good Book." A low price helps reduce the risk of buyer's remorse – if someone buys my book and then doesn't like it, the most they're down is $2.99. So they take a chance, and buy it.
2. $2.99 is the lowest price a self-publisher can sell their book for through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing and still earn 70% profit from their sales. Any less and you're only getting 35%.
3. It covers my costs, and I don't have many. Unlike a publishing house, I don't have to pay anyone's salary or keep the lights on anywhere other than my own home. (And I don't even have to do that because I live with my parents which, thanks to the abysmal economic climate here in Ireland, has become an acceptable thing to do even if you're 29. Hooray!) I pay for copyediting, proofreading and a cover design, but I can get those costs back in about 500 sales. And I'm not greedy. Once I can cover those costs and afford the odd 3 for 2 spree in my local Waterstone's (oh... wait), I'm just happy to have readers. I despair when I see self-publishers charging £9.99 for their e-books because "it's worth just as much as a traditionally published e-book. It's just as good." It might well be, but those calculations are skewed. What would be the price of a traditionally published e-book if you took away the costs a publishing house has that a self-publisher doesn't? Answers on a postcard, please.
As for traditional publishers, I sympathise with you. Yes, even though a few of you have sent me faint photocopies of form rejection letters in the past, I really do. There you are, paying for all sorts of fancy marketing and promotional stuff, and yet your book is a lowly #17 on the Kindle Store–> Kindle eBooks–> Non-fiction–> Travel–> United States–> Regions–> South–> South Atlantic bestseller list. I pay for nothing, am the only warm body on my sales team and regularly fall out of bed after ten o'clock in the morning, and I'm at #1. It must be incredibly frustrating for you, and I'm only the tiniest bit smug about it.
But if you're searching for the magic formula that will enable you to emulate the kind of self-published e-book success we've seen in the headlines recently, price is the wrong place to start. And also, there isn't one. What you need are the authors who are achieving that kind of success, or look like they will soon. (HINT, HINT.) Because along with a little luck, we are what's driving the sales of our e-books. We have this online promotion thing figured out. We know that our personality is our brand, and we act accordingly. We put in the time because we know no one else is going to do it for us. My computer is on almost as much as I'm awake, and I've done everything from tweeting to blog touring to book trailer-making to help shift copies of my books – and I've done it almost every single day for the last eighteen months.
As for whether having a low price is the only reason I've sold any books, I don't think I'm going to be crying into my coffee any time soon – and not just because that would needlessly dilute good coffee. Frankly, I'm just happy to be selling any books at all, for any reason. And anyway, what does the price of a book have to do with its quality? To dust off a line I've used before, if the price of a book was really a reflection of its quality, Franzen would be charging hundreds of pounds for his titles and Kay Burley would have to pay us to read hers.
There's so much more to selling e-books – whether you're publishing someone else's or your own – than how much the books cost. A low price can certainly help sell books, but it doesn't equal guaranteed sales. Far from it. All you need to do to confirm this is to pay a visit to the Kindle store. Every minute of every day thousands of people are self-publishing their e-books on there and setting their price at 99c (or, according to Snide Blog Comment-Leaver, 10p), and most of them will barely manage to sell a handful of copies, if they sell any at all.
I wish it were that easy, but it's not.

I think this will be fun. I rode trails today and should have stayed on the road. I made it 1.5 miles in 40 minutes but had a great time and it was a great work out.
Thanks for coming to our team. We haven't gotten a new virtual tour going yet this year, but maybe early next. Someone has to get me motivated and a new co-leader/tour guide would be great. Any volunteers? I'll go check out hhracing too. Sounds fun.
When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.

Welcome! Your website was fun to visit, so thanks for sharing!
I am pleased to find this team as I am always looking for inspiration and support. The cycling miles are down this week but the season begins again on jan 4th, can't wait. If anyone is interested please check out hhracing.org and go to the blog section to see daily ride posts. The rest of the site is in need of an update but the blogs are always current.

In honor of the World Cup coming up this Thursday, I thought I'd make a travel piece on where the game will be held at — Brazil! The country is no stranger to vibrant colors. It's well-known for the annual Carnival held in Rio de Janeiro. Here are a couple hot spots in Brazil!
1. Rio Carnival - There are carnival celebrations in virtually every corner of Brazil. The biggest and most famous carnival is the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. The Rio Carnival attracts two million people per day on the streets and almost half a million foreigners during its 4 day celebration.
2. Christ the Redeemer – the famous statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro. Located at the peak of the 2,300 ft Corcovado mountain.
3. Ouro Preto - One of Brazil's best-preserved colonial towns.
4. Fernando de Noronha - a beautiful archipelago with pristine beaches, landscapes and wildlife, situated 354 km (220 miles) off the northeastern coast in Brazil.
5. Salvador Beaches - a vibrant musical scene and loads of exceptional beaches all around.

Growing Up Untouchable in India (01 Edition)by Vasant Moon
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
Originally published in Marathi in 1989, this contemporary classic details the history of womenand#8217;s participation in Dr. B. R. Ambedkarand#8217;s Dalit movement for the first time. Focusing on the involvement of women in various Dalit struggles since the early twentieth century, the book goes on to consider the social conditions of Dalit womenand#8217;s lives, daily religious practices and marital rules, the practice of ritual prostitution, and womenand#8217;s issues. Drawing on diverse sources including periodicals, records of meetings, and personal correspondence, the latter half of the book is composed of interviews with Dalit women activists from the 1930s. These first-hand accounts from more than forty Dalit women make the book an invaluable resource for students of caste, gender, and politics in India. A rich store of material for historians of the Dalit movement and gender studies in India,and#160;We Also Made Historyand#160;remains a fundamental text of the modern womenand#8217;s movement.
Filled with the rich and colorful life of an Indian slum and the political currents that swirl around it, this unique autobiography traces the life of an "Untouchable", India's lowest caste. Vasant Moon, an indomitable child grown to courageous reformer and scholar, gives us an intimate glimpse into a world Westerners never see. We see his deep reverence for nature as he makes us feel Nagpur's heat and the joy brought by the monsoon. We suffer the problems faced by Indian women as he quietly honors his mother for her dignified but grinding battle with poverty. We learn about the inescapable hierarchy imposed by caste, based on ancient principles of hereditary pollution, through his participation in the Dalits' battle for equality, rights, and legal and political power. Never bitter or vengeful, Moon offers a moving and eloquent testament to a uniquely Indian life as well as to the universal human spirit.
n this English translation, Moon's story is usefully framed by apparatus necessary to bring its message to even those taking their first look at South Asian culture. . . . The result is an easy to digest short-course on what it means to be a Dalit, in the words of one notable Dalit. Journal of Asian Studies

I highly recommend making an appointment with Bobby Mack. He is young, trendy, and considerate of what you ask for. I was very critical of who I let do my hair for the longest time but once I found Bobby, I've stuck wit him ever since. Not only does he do great work, he is fun to chat with, and his prices are reasonable!!Was this review helpful?Yes No|Flag Abuse
Kyra is the best hair colorist I've ever been to in my entier life. She takes her time and matches the color to what you want and the dye job lasts for quite some time. I've never been more pleased! If you are looking for a colorist or even a stylist for that matter, ask for Kyra. She's the best in town!Was this review helpful?Yes No|Flag Abuse
