Sharon + Daniel's wedding is the second of the last three weddings of 2010! I absolutely loved their prep location and their reception venue as well! We started the day off at the JW Marriot in Los Angeles. This hotel is super rad, so much to work with, and it made my job really easy!
I had a fantastic day with Jason Roger by my side as a second shooter. He really rocked out his photo skills that day! We have BIG plans for Jason Roger this year!;);)
My favorite shot of the day! And as always, Nicole DeAnne is to blame for how beautiful Sharon looks!
After the ceremony we headed over to the Vibiana for Sharon + Daniel's reception. This Vibiana is ridiculously GORGEOUS, what a fantastic venue for a wedding reception!
Here's Sharon + Daniel's online slideshow! Just one more wedding to post from 2010 and then it's on to my top favorites from the entire year!

In The News: 06.28.2010
The big news this week was US General McChrystal's big Rolling Stone debut. If you haven't read it yet, click here. McChrystal was released from his position as head of US forces in Afghanistan by the President because of McChrystal's comments in this article. President Obama's statement on McChrystal's release is here.
This is an interesting article about how the law is empowering India's poor to hold their government accountable.
Last week, I posted some information about Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project. This week, Opinio Juris has a great breakdown of Morrison v. National Australia Bank. Read it here. Scalia's opinion creates a new test for whether a 10(b) claim should be heard by a United States court depends on whether the transaction takes place in US exchange markets or not. Scalia believes that 10(b) claims only applies to US purchases and sales.
Finally, be careful who you teach international law to.

The Hinkley Lighting 1434RB Trellis Medium Wall Outdoor Regency Bronze lantern has a lamp shade made of clear seedy glass panels set in a regency bronze finish framework, housing 3 candelabra bulbs of 60 watts each. Since it is UL listed for operating in wet conditions, the 1434RB Trellis Medium Wall Outdoor Light is suitable for placing on walls along the exterior of the house. However, for this, the cable should be laid at least 2 feet inside and the wiring and connections should be done by a licensed electrician. With a height of 19.75Â and a width of 9Â, the 1434RB Trellis Medium Wall Outdoor Light can be placed singly, in a pair on either ends of arches, porticos or doors, or in a series of lamps placed equidistant, along the wall, surrounding the residence. The ideal height for placing the 1434RB Trellis Medium Wall Outdoor Light is at about 5 feet from the ground, at or around the adult eye level.
Trellis is a lovely updated traditional hanging wall bracket design made of solid aluminum in a Regency Bronze finish with clear seedy glass.

Jim Davis was born on August 26th, 1909 in Edgerton, Missouri with the birth name Marlin Davis. He had a normal childhood upbringing and became involved in acting after his schooling.
He began with small bit parts in a variety of films before getting his first major screen role was in 1948 in, "Winter Meeting". The majority of films to follow were mostly 'B' rated films and most were westerns. He was known for having a very relaxed and easy going attitude and would portray both the good guy and bad guy role in various westerns. One of his better known films was in, "The Big Sky" (1952).
Davis is best known more for his television career such as his role on the western television series, "Stories of the Century" (1954-1955). This was the first western to win an Emmy Award. Then from 1958-1960 Davis was a regular star on the TV series, "Rescue 8". His big role was not until 1978 working on the television show, "Dallas" portraying character, Jock Ewing.
During the filming of, "Dallas", Davis was diagnosed with multiple myeloma but continued to work on the series. Even after he passed in real life, his character was kept alive on the show for thirteen episodes, by pretending he was away in South America.
Alongside a film career and quite a successful television career, Davis also did commercial voice over work.
Davis was married only once to Blanche Hammerer from 1945 having one child together, a daughter Tara Diane Davis who unfortunately was killed in a car accident on 1970. Davis and Blanche remained together until his death.
Jim Davis passed away on April 26th, 1981 in Northridge, California from multiple myeloma. He is interred in Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Ls Angeles, California. For his contribution to the Television industry, Davis was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Prodigy Discusses The State Of Mobb Deep's Relationship With Nas
The H.N.I.C. says that Mobb and Nas have more tracks recorded together, and music was more important than "petty bullshit."
Just weeks after Queens, New York emcee Prodigy returned home from prison, the Mobb Deep co-founder shocked fans when the group released a track with Nas in "Dog Sh*t" . The collaboration, produced by Alchemist and Havoc, was the first collaboration between M-O-B-B and Nas in 11 years, and came after years of conflict between the two parties.
Speaking with DJ Whoo Kid's Shade 45 radio show this week, Prodigy explained how he and Havoc reunited with Nasir. "We've been talkin' since I've been home. We put that [beef] to the side, man, to do this music. The music is crazy right now, that we're workin' on...we did a couple of joints. It's comin' out crazy; the music is more important than anything or lil' petty bullshit, so we good on that." At present, there is no word if or where "Dog Sh*t" will end up, or the titles for the other recorded collaborations.
The G-Unit deejay then asked his longtime friend and onetime label-mate about the initial moments of the parties meeting up again. P explained, "It's all love. [We] came up together, so it's all love anytime we see each other."
Already with an appearance on Jim Jones' just-released Capo, Prodigy also revealed that as a soloist and with Mobb Deep, he has upcoming material with Waka Flocka Flame, Styles P, N.O.R.E., Tony Yayo.

Flowerpot Dirt Cake
Every year I host a luncheon to welcome spring. I like to surprise my friends and leave them with a special memory. This delicious cake does the trick. Sometimes people are a little hesitant because they don't think you can really eat out of a clay flowerpot, but once I explain that the pot is new, clean and lined with foil, they like the idea and dig right in!—Mary Anne McWhirter, Pearland,
12 Servings

1 package (15-1/2 ounces) Oreo cookies

) instant vanilla pudding mix
3-1/2 cups cold milk
1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

An Official Newspaper of the
Internet Community
The Boys Under 13 soccer team competed in the Peter Ranzulli Labor Day Tournament in Dix Hills after the long summer break. The Port Washington Raptors, who had a good spring season, entered the tournament without any summer practices due to camp and vacation schedules. The boys were excited to be competing again together and begin the fall season. Having swept the first four games with scores of 2-0, 4-0, 2-1 and 5-0 it was clear that the team was playing at its best. Offenders (Matt Levering, Tommy Scheitzer, Roberto Perez) kept up the pressure and took many shots on goal, midfielders (Anthony Matinalu, Alfred D'Agostino Uri Nazryan, Kenny Seligson and Matt Geiger) kept the ball in play, and defenders (Adam Davis, David Silverstein, David Schriber, Josh Farhadian, JM Kostallas and Emilio Diaz) only allowed one goal to pass their line. Goalie, Milan Petkovic performed at his best and blocked many good tries kicked by the opposing team.
The Raptors qualified for the finals and played the Commack Coyotes for the first place on Monday morning. Despite the early start to all their games and the long weekend of competition, the boys kept up their spirits and were ready to fight for the trophy. The first goal occurred within one minute of play, scored by Uri Nazryan; within minutes, Matt Levering popped in the second goal. The next two goals were scored by Commack tying the score just before half time. Coaches, Yossi Nazyran, Al D'Agostino and Jim Levering provided encouraging words during half time break. The team went onto the field and took immediate command. Matt Levering found an open opportunity and scored his second goal of the game. Defenders were tough and came together to prevent several passes assisting the incredible efforts of goalie Milan Petkovic. Three more goals were scored, two by Roberto Perez and the final goal by Tommy Schweitzer; bringing the final score to 6-2. The boys and their parents were elated. This is a great beginning for the new season!

Unfortunately most people believe what they want to believe. In the process in India, because of partition he has become a villain and a hero in Pakistan. When Gandhi earned a big name in South Africa, Indian community in England invited him to London for a felicitation and the welcome address was delivered by young Jinnah. He returned to India before Gandhi and within no time became a successful Lawyer in Bombay High Court and his daily income was a fabulous Rs. 500/-. The young person became a member of the elite of Bombay and was liked by all top people including the rich businessman, Sir Dinshaw Petit, whose daughter fell in love with Jinnah and they got married. After Gandhi returned to India, Gujarati community of Bombay felicitated him in the lawns of Sir Dinshaw Petits bungalow at Malabar Hills and again the welcome address was delivered by Jinnah. Starting from Tilak, many stalwarts were alive then and so both Gandhi and Jinnah belonged to the second rung of leaders. Gandhi th ...moreAnswered by Sankar Mitra, 26 Aug '09 06:20 pm
He made religion as the basis of nationhood. The break away of Bangla Desh and failure of Pakistan as a state have proved him wrong.

Jinnah was not a staunch Muslim as far as religion is concerned. He was a liberal politician, very shrewd lawyer who used his knowledge per force for Muslim cause. Till 1929 he was a staunch supporter of Hindu Muslim Unity, but some incidents in Mumbai Bar provoked him to make U turn from his earlier attitudes. It is said that the RSS dominated Bar of Mumbai Court humiliated him, making him a die hard supporter for creation of Pakistan. Initially he was so frustrated that he left India for about 11 years and started practising in London till 1939. When Congress movement reached its peak, then British Govt. instigated Jinnah in the name of safeguarding interests of Muslims. It was then, that he started supporting the Muslim League's demand of Partition. Muslim league was not competent enough to effectively plead its cause, and Jinnah's Legal manipulative deliberations helped them in realizing their dream come true on 14th August 1947 in the form of Pakistan. That's why they call him Qua ...moreAnswered by subhash tiwari, 16 Aug '09 08:26 pm
Jinnah was a hawk. When the point of INDEPENDENCE was first raised, he queried : Independence for whom?Answered by John Mascarenhas, 16 Aug '09 08:03 pm
Inspite of best efforts from all concerned to avoid division of the country, he declared Independence for PAKISTAN as a MUSLIM majority state

Jinna was an opportunist fellow. When the efforts of freedom fighters were maturing he emerged to eat the fruit nad caused partition of country. Though I believe the partition was good for our country but the manner in which the whole process was executed and hatred it generated was regrettable. But we are much happier with partition than if there were no partition.Answered by Prashant, 16 Aug '09 07:59 pm
Have nerver seen him or met how. so there is no way i can form a view about mr JinnahAnswered by iqbal seth, 16 Aug '09 07:59 pm
He was a selfish and introvert person whose only intention was to become PM or President of India, and was even willing to divide the country to achieve his aim. I do not like such peopleAnswered by rajnikant raiyarela, 16 Aug '09 07:54 pm

Pento - Love Affair With Inflationary Policies To End in Disaster
With investors extremely worried about what they consider to be excessive money printing, today Michael Pento, of Pento Portfolio Strategies, writes for King World News to warn that the reckless policy of central planners will end in disaster. Pento had this to say about the situation: "Two lovers, of the notion that inflation can cure everything that ails an economy, recently squared off in a battle over who adores counterfeiting the most. Paul Krugman, who probably has a statue of Al Capone at his bedside, chided Ben Bernanke in a New York Times Magazine article for his unwillingness to raise the Fed's inflation target in order to reduce the unemployment rate."
Michael Pento continues:
"The recipient of the Nobel Prize in economics penned an article titled 'Earth to Ben Bernanke' on April 24th. In it he encouraged Bernanke to embrace the idea that more money printing can save the world by writing, 'Higher expected inflation would aid an economy.'
Bernanke addressed Krugman's comments at last week's FOMC press conference. His dovish response directed towards Krugman's commentary was, 'The question is, does it make sense to actively seek a higher inflation rate in order to achieve a slightly faster reduction in the unemployment rate…the view of the committee is that would be very reckless.'
While it is commendable that Bernanke doesn't publicly admit he wants to send inflation higher than it already is; the question remains as to why he believes that higher inflation can cause even the slightest reduction in unemployment....
Continue reading the Michael Pento piece below...
To hear legendary company builder Rob McEwen, original Founder of
Goldcorp, discuss which company he invested $110 million
of his own money in and why click on the logo:
"What strikes me the most is that neither the Nobel Prize winner nor the Chairman of the Federal Reserve had the sagacity to completely repudiate the idea that inflation can, in any way, reduce the unemployment rate. Even a cursory look at the data throughout history proves that inflation is a destroyer of jobs. All they would have to do is to look at the most salient periods of inflation that occurred over the last 40 years and see how negatively it affected the unemployment rate.
From 1971--the year Nixon broke the gold window--through 1974, the annual percentage change on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased from 4.4% to 11.0%. According to Krugman and Bernanke, this should have sent the unemployment rate crashing. However, the unemployment rate increased from 6.1% at the end of 1971 to 7.2% in 1974. And since the unemployment rate is a lagging indicator, that figure increased even further to 8.2% in December of 1975.
In 1977 the CPI was 6.5% and it shot all the way up to 13.5% in 1980. Just as it did in the early part of the decade, the unemployment rate increased yet again to 7.2% in 1980 and hit 10.8% by the end of 1982! Finally, the other salient increase in the rate of inflation occurred between 1986 and 1990. The annual percentage change of inflation in '86 was 1.9;, that shot up to 5.4% in 1990. The unemployment rate started that period at 6.6% and climbed to 7.3% at the end of 1991.
Therefore, I have to ask our dear Fed Chairman and Nobel Prize winner, where is the evidence that inflation causes people to find work? In reality, it's the exact opposite that occurs. Inflation robs the middle class of their purchasing power and sends them onto the government dole.
Inflation also destroys investment in an economy because savers have no idea what interest rate is necessary to charge, in order to profitably lend out their money over an extended period of time. And inflation causes tremendous economic imbalances as capital is diverted into ephemeral asset bubbles, instead of being allocated in a more viable manner.
If Krugman and Bernanke were correct in believing inflation has a positive influence on the workforce, Zimbabwe and Argentina would both be paragons of how to achieve full employment. The truth is that a high unemployment rate is the simply the result of a weak economy. And an economy can suffer through a recession while experiencing either inflation or deflation.
But when an economy experiences a rising rate of inflation, it always ends up with an unemployment rate that goes along for the ride. We can only hope that central bankers in the developed world assent to that principle very soon. However, the ECB, BOJ and Fed continue to believe a positive rate of inflation must be maintained at all costs. If they persist with this misguided policy, this will end in disaster.
This careless and irrational thought process, on the part of the Fed and other central planners, is one of the primary reasons why investors must maintain gold in their portfolios. Gold has proven to offer protection against reckless monetary policy for centuries and will continue to do so in the future."

What interests me is how children learn about "God" and how it affects them. As a single mother in the 60's, I read to my children a lot. When I came across a book of creation myths from many cultures, I discovered that world mythology encompasses all traditions and connects all religions. Fighting over which sacred story is "right" seemed insane. So I studied world mythology and worked with Joseph Campbell to create a PBS recording of creation stories which I thought would change the world of spiritual education. It didn't. So I went back to school, became a professional storyteller, and began a series of children's programs at the Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park in SF and at schools across the country. In Louisville, I met my composer, Sara MacLean, and we perform & record CDs of diverse cultures' stories which share a cross-cultural theme.

When an adult goes into sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), his or her survival depends on immediately getting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from someone nearby. Eighty eight percent of all cardiac arrests occur at home or at work, so the chances of your knowing the victim are very high.
According to the American Heart Association, nationwide less than 1/3 of those who suffer cardiac arrest at home, work, or in a public place receive CPR. As a result 300,000 people die each year in the U.S. Often, it's because bystanders don't know CPR!
Howard County is leading the way in Maryland with a survival rate of 40% for SCA victims whose arrests are witnessed, bystander CPR is performed, and HCDFRS personnel arrive and take over. Here is how you can help:

Childress: "A Good Team Win"Posted by on September 28, 2009 – 3:57 pm
Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress, less than 24 hours after his team completed a remarkable come-from-behind win to move to 3-0, held his usual day-after-the-game press conference on Monday and was measured in his reflective comments. He was clearly pleased with the way his team performed but he also pointed out that there's plenty of work to be done.
"Really a good team win," Childress said. "At the same time, all of us are aware that at 3-0, they don't crown any champions at the end of September. I just point to where we were at record-wise last year right about now. Everything is a work in progress."
Childress said his team has "a ton of things to clean up" in all 3 phases of the game but that the players are willing to do what it takes to improve.
"Our guys are amenable to that (improving)," Childress said. "It's a long season but they want to get it right and as long as they have that mentality, we're going to remain a good football team."
After reflecting on the 49ers game, Childress quickly indicated the team's focus is now on the upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football.
"Don't know if I've ever been involved with a come-from-behind like that with no timeouts, but certainly a bunch of guys made plays, including the offensive linemen, who were able to do a great job protection-wise coming back down the field," Childress explained. "Like I said, team win, we'll take it, we'll move on, we'll get back going on Green Bay here this afternoon."

A Few Things To Watch During Childress Press ConferencePosted by on September 28, 2009 – 12:00 pm
Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress will hold his usual day-after-the-game press conference today at 12:30, and you can watch it live on vikings.com by clicking here.
Here are a few issues I'll be anxious to hear Childress address:
– Vikings RB Adrian Peterson had a workman-like day on Sunday, rushing for 85 yards on 19 carries for a 4.5-yard average. He didn't have a signature, highlight-reel run, but the 4.5-yard average is solid and the 19 attempts helped balance out Brett Favre's 46 pass attempts. At the same time, if you take away the 35-yard burst, Peterson's stat line all of a sudden becomes concerning. I think the 49ers did a nice job of containing Peterson overall. So, I'll be interested to see if Childress provides a little insight into what happened to cause this and what the Vikings will do to improve.
– The crowd was loud yesterday in the Metrodome, and I'm sure it was a factor in some of the San Francisco penalties and timeouts. It was also a factor, perhaps, in how the Vikings defense played. Childress has complimented in the past Vikings fans and their ability to make the Metrodome a hard place to play for opponents, and it wouldn't surprise me to hear him do it again today.
– The blocked FG at the end of the 1st half was a huge play for San Francisco. It yielded a 10-point turnaround and definitely changed the dynamics of the game. Aside from diagnosing the particular error and who was responsible, it'll be interesting to hear Childress' perspective on how that changed the game.
– After Jared Allen's strip-sack on the 1st play of the game, the Vikings didn't generate much of a pass rush and in fact didn't tally another sack during the game. San Francisco, meanwhile, was after Favre all day. I'm sure Childress will get into a discussion with reporters about where the blame lands for certain sacks – the QB holding the ball, receivers not getting open and thet line not protecting.

Longwell Continues Clutch KickingPosted by on September 28, 2009 – 10:35 am
Even though one of his kicks yesterday resulted in a San Francisco TD and negative 10-point swing right before halftime, K Ryan Longwell's performance was once again instrumental in the outcome of a Vikings game.
In 8 seasons as a member of the Packers, Longwell became the franchise's all-time leading scorer and tipped the scale in favor of the Packers against the Vikings several times. But then he came to Minnesota as a free agent in 2006 and his prolific career has continued to be, well, prolific.
Longwell ranks 3rd in Vikings history with 6 game-winning FGs and his 50-yarder yesterday puts him in a tie with Fuad Reveiz for most 50-yard FGs in team history (8). Although neither of his 2 FGs from yesterday are considered game-winners, they were still vital to the Vikings winning effort.
Longwell came on to salvage scoring drives twice in the 1st half. He was true from 40 yards early in the 2nd quarter to give the Vikings a 10-point lead. Then, later in the 2nd quarter after a solid punt return and a couple of fortuitous penalties, Longwell came on to split the uprights on a crucial 50-yard try to increase the lead to 13-7.
The Vikings eventually went on to win 27-24, so a couple of 1st half FGs clearly made a difference for the Vikings. And the Vikings are used to Longwell making a winning difference. Longwell is now 54 of 56 from inside 45 yards since joining the Vikings in '06. Both of those misses are actually blocks. He's also made 34 straight tries from inside 40 yards, which is a Vikings record.
Longwell ranks 19th all-time with 302 career FGs and 20th in all-time scoring with 1,398 points.

Harvin Has The Explosive TouchPosted by on September 28, 2009 – 8:18 am
Vikings WR/KR Percy Harvin continues to have a profound impact on the Vikings during his rookie season. He made it on the highlight reel again this week with an electric 101-yard kickoff return for a TD in the 3rd quarter.
Harvin's TD return was significant on a few levels, but perhaps most importantly because it provided a counter-punch to San Francisco's early 2nd half FG that increased their lead to 17-13. At the time of Joe Nedney's 37-yard FG, the 49ers had scored 17 of the game's previous 20 points. But Harvin's 101-yard return neutralized the momentum San Francisco had generated.
The return also marked Harvin's 3rd TD in as many games, making him the only rookie other than Felix Jones in the past 5 years to score a TD in his first 3 games. Harvin added 4 receptions for 51 yards, increasing his average yards per reception to 10.7.
Through 3 games, Harvin has 27 total touches for 514 yards and 3 TDs. That averages out to 19.03 yards per touch. The 22nd overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft has gained 10+ yards on 20 of his 27 touches and is now averaging 35.8 yards per kickoff return.

Favre's Timing Impeccable AgainPosted by on September 28, 2009 – 7:32 am
The Vikings had seen this before. Brett Favre, trailing late in the 4th quarter, rallies his troops and drives them down the field for a game-winning score to break your heart and send you home with a loss.
Except this time Favre was on the Vikings side.
"Well, it happens against you so many times playing against him, so it was great to see him on our side come out and pull it off," DT Kevin Williams said in the locker room after the game. "He made a great play for us."
Aside from guiding the Vikings to one of their most dramatic wins in team history, Favre also became the first Vikings QB since Daunte Culpepper in 2005 to throw for 300 yards in a game. His game-winning 32-yard pass to Greg Lewis on Sunday pushed him to 301 yards passing on the afternoon.
Favre's timing was appropriate for one final reason on Sunday. His late-game heroics and the Vikings first 300-yard passing day since Week 3 of 2005 came the day before the 40-year anniversary of Joe Kapp's 7-TD performance against Baltimore (9/28/1969). In that game, Kapp became the 1st Vikings QB to throw for 400 yards in a game and he set the team record for TD passes in a game (7).

I chose this dress as my wedding gown because I love the way it has been designed using plain but good quality fabric. It is all about the excellent tailoring. The waist band is very flattering and the bodice is very stylish.
I ordered this long chiffon dress for my garden wedding. It was brilliant white and looked very elegant and modest. It was a bit too long but I guess that's what makes it more graceful.
a professional orchestra musician I am frequently required to wear gowns to our performances so I was really delighted to find this sophisticated dress. The cape effect of the sleeve and the full skirt provide just the effect I was looking for.

Building A Business Case For Unified Communications
The hype surrounding any emerging technology often shrouds the private sector with mixed feelings, as decision-makers try to decipher whether new offerings will enhance operations, hinder productivity or introduce some bizarre mixture of the two.
Instant Cashflow Improvement and Rapid ROI with Unified Communications
The up-and-down economy of the past several years has highlighted the need to operate more effi ciently and cut costs wherever possible. In most situations, these two notions would seem contradictory, but a number of emerging technologies - cloud computing, virtualization and the bring-your-own-device movement among them - are helping companies accomplish these goals.
The Top Four Pitfalls of Unified Communications
Today's enterprise needs to be agile if decision-makers wish to remain competitive and relevant in the eyes of consumers. As more companies and customers around the world begin leveraging innovative devices like smartphones, tablets and next-generation laptops, the need to deploy unified communications grows alongside it. Neglecting to implement the technology may result in dire consequences that could spell the end of an organization.

Britney Spears is an open book, and we love it!
The X Factor judge, and mom of two, was in a chatty mood with Lucky magazine about makeup, body issues and life with her kids.
Brit tells the mag:
- "I really just wear mascara all the time and powder, because I have zits. I get, like, these giant boxes of lip gloss and nail polish, and it's like candy."
As for what fiance Jason Trawick likes to see her wearing, she adds:
- "He says he doesn't mind that I sit around in sweats all the time. I never wear socks. I hate socks."
The Slave 4 U singer also talks about what her kids think of her job. Brit says:
- They try to figure out where I go when I go to film X Factor. They're like, 'Mommy's going off to be a superhero,' and then I get back, and they just see me as Mommy. And then when I'm back working on the show, they say, 'Oh, Mommy's a superhero again!'"
Love ya, Brit … and your honesty!

I've been experiencing something rather odd lately. And I say odd because it just started happening the past couple years. And it happens about once every month or two. I'll wake up in the morning with a slight sore throat (that usually goes away within an hour or so), and then all day long I'll feel icky and achy all over, and my eyes feel itchy and tired and droopy. And then the next morning, I wake up ... and bam, I feel fine, like nothing ever happened.
What the heck is wrong with me? I'm wondering if it's just because I push myself so hard in the gym and I'm teetering on overtraining ... or allergies ... or my body is just fighting off bugs (though I serious doubt every month or two) ... or something entirely different? Does anyone else here have this often?
(And, yes, I've told my doctors about this. Ran a bunch of systematic, autoimmune tests, as well as others. They can't find anything wrong.)

California Stops Employers, Colleges from Invading Privacy in Social Media
Bills will prohibit employers and colleges from seeking social media passwords
SACRAMENTO – Today, Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation that will prohibit businesses and colleges from formally requesting or demanding employees, applicants, and students provide their social media usernames and passwords.
SB 1349, authored by Senator Leland Yee (D-San Francisco/San Mateo), provides protections for students and applicants at colleges and universities throughout California, and AB 1844, authored by Assemblywoman Nora Campos, provides the same protections for employees and job applicants.
In spirit with the bills' subject area, Governor Brown and Senator Yee first made the announcement of the signings through their Facebook and Twitter accounts.
The bills come after a growing number of businesses, public agencies, and colleges around the country are asking job seekers, workers, and students for their Facebook and Twitter account information.
"The practice of employers or colleges demanding social media passwords is entirely unnecessary and completely unrelated to someone's performance or abilities," said Yee. "Today, California has declared that this is an unacceptable invasion of personal privacy."
"The Golden State is pioneering the social media revolution and these laws will protect all Californians from unwarranted invasions of their personal social media accounts," said Brown.
In addition to the privacy of students and workers, accessing social media accounts may also invade the privacy of family members and friends who thought they only were sharing information with their own social media network.
"These social media outlets are often for the purpose of individuals to share private information – including age, marital status, religion, sexual orientation and personal photos – with their friends and family," said Yee. "This information is illegal for employers and colleges to use in making employment and admission decisions and has absolutely no bearing on a person's ability to do their job or be successful in the classroom."
"SB 1349 is a significant step towards securing Californians' constitutional right to privacy, both online and offline," said Jon Fox, Consumer Advocate for CALPIRG.
The legislation would also prohibit employers and colleges from demanding personal email addresses and login information of employees, applicants, and students.

Nanotechnology for Medical Applications and Environment
Nanotechnologies for Medical Applications
In the past, medical treatments have been the result of adopting those techniques that worked and discarding those that didnt. Today, the improved knowledge of how the body functions at the cellular level is leading to many new and better medical techniques.
Earlier Detection
For example, we know that the earlier a disease can be detected, the easier it is to remedy. To achieve this, research is focusing on introducing into the body specially designed nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are composed of tiny fluorescent 'quantum dots' that are 'bound' to targeting antibodies. In turn, these antibodies bind to diseased cells. When this happens, the quantum dots fluoresce brightly. This fluorescence can be picked up by new, specially developed, advanced imaging systems, enabling the accurate pinpointing of a disease even at a very early stage.
Faster Diagnosis
Nanotechnology is also leading to faster diagnosis. Diagnosis can be a lengthy and stressful business, usually with a test sample having to be sent away for analysis. The results can take several days or even weeks to arrive.
Nanotechnology is enabling much faster and more precise diagnosis, as many tests can be built into a single, often palm-sized device that only requires tiny quantities of sample. This device is sometimes called a 'lab-on-a-chip', and samples can be processed and analysed so rapidly that the results can be read out almost instantaneously.
Targeted Drug Delivery
People often complain that the cure for a disease can feel almost as bad as the disease itself, as prescription drugs may have unpleasant side effects. This is because the body needs to be flooded with very high doses of a drug in order to ensure that a sufficient volume reaches the site of the disease.
Accurate targeting of the drug can now be achieved, using specially designed drug-carrying nanoparticles. This also means that much smaller quantities of a drug are necessary, reducing toxicity to the body. The drug is then activated only at the disease site (such as a tumour) by light or other means, and the progress of the cure can also be monitored using advanced imaging techniques.
Nanotechnology in the Environment
Nanotechnology offers some really exciting breakthroughs in environmentally friendly technologies. Examples range from extracting renewable energy from the sun to the prevention of pollution. Geoffrey Sacks, the American Economist, in his 2007 BBC Reith lectures entitled 'Bursting at the Seams', commented:
"The fate of the planet is not a spectator sport". We live in an interconnected world, where all parts of the world are affected by what happens in all other parts"
There is no doubt that the pressures we are putting on the planet are leading to potentially catastrophic consequences. In the developed world, we have grown accustomed to using our car to go to the shops, take weekend cruises and even day trips to far-flung places that might have taken three or more months to reach before air travel became commonplace. We like our vegetables and fruit out of season, and increasingly expect to eat meat at least once a day, if not more. We havent thought about the effects of these activities on the planet. In the past, the planet could absorb our excesses, but with the ongoing destruction of the rainforest (which is responsible for 25% of carbon emissions) and the population of the world reaching over 6.3 billion, the earth is showing signs of being unable to bounce back from the demands we are placing on it.
Preserving the Planet
So what can we do to limit the damage and ensure a future for our children? Firstly, the bad news. The fossil fuel that oils our everyday lives is responsible for 44% of the carbon dioxide we emit annually. The good news is that energy from sunlight is sufficient to meet our needs ten thousand times over. Today, more efficient and cheaper solar energy collectors are in the process of being developed using nanotechnology. These collectors could be deployed as small units in our homes. They work particularly well in diffuse light, so would suit even less sunny climates. This would have the benefit of not sterilizing precious land (a diminishing resource for food), and quickly improve the quality of many peoples lives, especially in poorer housing or in the less developed world.
Energy Storage
Not only do we need new ways of generating energy, we need better ways of storing it. Nanotechnology is leading to improved, environmentally-friendly batteries and supercapacitors. We also need to reduce damage to the environment. Particularly toxic are those chemicals we use as solvents. Nanotechnology is leading to their eradication through the development new nanocoatings and nano structured surfaces that can effectively repel dirt and other contaminants.
Coating metals which prevent corrosion also seriously affect the environment. Many anti-corrosion coatings involve chromium and cadmium, both deadly substances which the EU is seeking to limit. Of course, vehicle and component producers are keen to find alternatives, as recycling of toxic compounds is costly and unpleasant. New smart nanocoatings are in the process of being developed that are non-toxic and highly effective. Serious contamination of the environment with heavy metals and other pollutants are thrown into the atmosphere from the fumes and smoke being emitted from industrial processes. It is encouraging to note that most of these particles and gases (including carbon dioxide) can be 'scrubbed' out - and even reclaimed and reused, using specially functionalised nanomaterials, placed in the waste gas stream.
Finally, given the old adage, if you can't measure it, you can't control it. Fast, accurate, in-situ and online pollution monitoring is essential. New, cheap nanosensors are being developed from techniques used in medicine, that will enable us to do this quickly, effectively and cost effectively.

Retailers will lose about $3.39 billion to return fraud this holiday season, as part of a total $8.76 billion expected overall in return fraud for 2013, according to the National Retail Federation's 2013 Return Fraud Survey.
The survey, which was completed by loss-prevention executives at 62 retail companies, notes that 5.8% of holiday returns are fraudulent, up from 4.6% last year.
Consumers love a good deal—but will be drawn to brick and mortars this holiday season for the experience, according to the recently released study "Amazon Can't Do That: Consumer Desire & the Store of the Future," published by WD Partners, a customer-experience expert for global retail and food brands.
The study identifies what consumers are looking for in a shopping experience and presents a road map for brick and mortars to beat online-only retailers.
Online retailers are intensifying their efforts to attract eager shoppers with free shipping deals and other exclusive online promotions. More than 61% of online retailers started their online holiday-marketing promotions by Halloween, according to Shop.org's eHoliday survey conducted by BIGinsight. More than 38% will begin marketing their online promotions by mid-November or later.
Consumers are preparing for a holly, jolly holiday season, although it's evident that most will take a conservative approach with their gift-giving budgets. The average holiday shopper will spend $749.51 on gifts, decor, greeting cards and more, according to the National Retail Federation's holiday consumer-spending survey conducted by BIGinsight.
That's up slightly from the $740.57 that the average holiday shopper actually spent last year.

Lamb Shanks Braised with Figs, Star Anise & Blood Orange.
Yesterday I enjoyed a gloriously lengthy and varied day of food shopping. Setting off around midday, I stopped first at my local butcher for these shanks, before hopping on the train to Borough Market, specifically to visit Brindisa for a chorizo sandwich (for the next SATC). From there, on to Covent Garden Tea House (to get a present for @Rossella76 – more of that soon), then to Peckham's Wing Tai supermarket (for miso soup ingredients) and finally (phew!) stopping at the local Sainsbury's for some extras. Now that's what I call food shopping.
I'm glad I made the most of the sunshine yesterday, because now we have rain – perfect lamb shank weather. I realise there's been a lot of meat recently on Food Stories, but I hope you don't mind me sneaking another one in. The shanks were a bit of an experiment really as, even with all that ingredient shopping, I really hadn't planned a recipe for them.
Looking through the day's haul, the blood oranges were winking at me through their bright red paper packaging, so I decided to use some peel in the braise. A rummage in the cupboard also turned up some dried figs, which I thought would be delicious with a little star anise, at least if Wholefood's fig and anise bread is anything to go by.
The overall idea was to create a sweet, spiced sauce for the lamb, with (hopefully), enough tang coming through from the oranges. I threw in a few other aromatics as a base (onion, garlic, carrot, celery) and some weakish stock (from a cube, shock horror!) and cooked them very slowly for just shy of four hours.
By this time, the meat just fell off the bone, so melty and tender. I'm happy to report that the sauce was also a success. Deep, sweet, spicy (Greg Wallace) and flecked with fig seeds. I served the lamb on top of cous cous, flavoured with mint and blood orange zest, which soaked up all of those wonderful juices and freshened up the whole dish rather nicely.
Tummy full, I gave myself a pat on the back for coming up trumps in the 'invention test' and then again for having bought a third shank, just in case (even though it did cost me nearly £8 for three). We gobbled up the leftovers barely an hour after the first sitting. That's a whole lotta sheep in my belly. So it's fish, fruit and veg for Food Stories this week, I'm in need of a little cleansing. Not a bad way to finish a meat binge though, even if I do say so myself.
Lamb Shanks Braised with Figs, Star Anise and Blood Orange.
(I realise that three shanks is a bit of an odd number for a recipe, but it's a one pot, slow cooking job, so quantities don't need to be exact, just add a bit more stock if you have a fourth shank).
3 lamb shanks
2 small onions, peeled and halved
1 carrot, halved
1 stick celery
8 dried figs, de-stemmed and quartered
4 strips blood orange zest and juice of half (plus extra zest, about 1 tablespoon, for the cous cous)
2 star anise
3 cloves garlic, peeled
800ml hot stock (ideally lamb, but I was desperate and just used a chicken stock cube)
Small handful mint, chopped
Cous cous (enough for three people? who knows, its just cous cous)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil/groundnut oil or whatever you use
I also rubbed a tablespoon of ground coriander seeds and a few 'bruised' caraway seeds onto the shanks. I was after fennel seeds but ran out and used caraway instead. I'm not sure how much difference the spices made to the overall flavour.
– Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3.
– Season the shanks with salt and pepper and rub in the spices if using. Heat the oil in a heavy based pan (such as a cast iron skillet) and brown the shanks on all sides (about 6-8 minutes in total), before removing to an oven dish or casserole, ideally.
– In the same pan, brown the onion, carrot and celery for about 5 minutes, before adding to the oven dish with the lamb. Add the star anise, orange zest and juice, garlic, figs and stock before covering tightly with a lid or foil (or both) and cooking until the meat falls away from the bone. Many recipes say 2.5-3 hours for this but I cooked mine for 4.
– To make the cous cous, pour some hot stock or water onto it, until it just covers, and leave for 5 minutes or so before fluffing up with a fork and adding salt and pepper, chopped mint and the orange zest.
– Remove the shanks to a warm plate and put the oven dish on the stove (on the heat), adding a little slackened cornflour if you want to thicken the sauce. Give the vegetables, figs etc. a good mush down into the sauce and then strain it through a sieve, pressing to get as much flavour as possible.
– Serve each shank on top of a pile of cous cous, with that yummy sauce poured all over it.

GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) - The head of the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Mississippi says he hopes the recent publicity about dolphins being mutilated and killed helps lead to an arrest.
Dr. Moby Solangi (MOH'-bee soh-LAHN'-gee) says he's been heartbroken to perform necropies on several dolphins to find that they'd been shot, stabbed, and one had its tail torn off. He says he thinks it's the work of someone "not in their right mind."
Solangi says there have been at least four recent cases in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
He's hoping people are outraged by the cruel attacks on innocent animals, and that the public will come forward with possible tips about who might be responsible.
Attacks on dolphins do carry large fines and jail sentences.

Hello Beautiful People!
It is good to be back on the scene.
As you know, I had to go on hiatus to get married! And it was one of the best days of my life. As a friend said to me, you are now "ThatMarriedKellieGirl"! :-) I am truly happy and still on cloud 9. I will definitely have to give you guys a recap with some photos and my suggestions on planning a wedding. I will admit, after a while, I was just ready to get married because our lives were consumed by the wedding. And the closer the big day approached, the more hectic things were…either something falls through or someone cancels. However, my biggest challenge was my guest list and the seating arrangement. You try to accommodate as many family requests as possible, but the reality is that everyone can't come. Weddings are very personal affairs. So I wanted to be surrounded by people who I know love and support us. Marriage isn't a game or to be entered into lightly. You are entering a covenant with person before God and the whole community of family and friends. So when I said my vows, I became very emotional because I took those words to heart. When I look at my family and my husband's family, we are standing on the shoulders of collectively 80 years of marriage. And I know neither have perfect marriages, but I admire their commitment to each other and their families. I believe we have a great foundation to build upon, and just as important, accountability.
So me and my boo and have now upgraded to husband and wife status, and we are excited to step out! :-) Hopefully, we will see you out there. And you might see us at one the fabulous events below.
Love ya'll! :-)
Peace and Blessings, ThatKellieGirl
