"Merry Christmas!" and "Happy holidays!" often carry connotations of cheeriness and joy. But sometimes, the holidays just aren't as pleasant as these well-meaning season's greetings imply. Dealing with all the stress that accompanies holiday parties, shopping, cooking and other preparations can take a serious toll on your wellbeing, and, if left unacknowledged, can lead to more serious problems like depression. As you prepare to face this holiday season, don't neglect your psychological health. We borrowed a few handy tips from the Mayo Clinic and the Huffington Post to get you started on the path to a merrier, happier holiday.

whole wheat garlic knots
My favorite part about soup season is the end of the bowl. You know, when you've scraped up your last spoonful and it is time to finish off the meal by using whatever baked good is nearest to sop up all the delicious broth/sauce that is left?
You all do that too, right?
These garlic knots are a pretty traditional Italian restaurant staple, but I like to keep them on hand during fall and winter for soup and stew sopping. The whole wheat dough is hearty and fluffy, and the little bit of garlic and butter flavor seems to complement any dish around. Feel free to serve them with spaghetti, too. After all they are definitely a type of garlic bread.
I know a lot of people are scared of yeast breads, but I promise there is nothing to be afraid of. This one is a particularly good place to start for anyone just getting into the world of yeast. I promise you can't mess these up. They are dipped in butter. Nothing bad ever happened when something was dipped in butter.
Don't worry about being perfect when you tie the knot, it honestly doesn't matter (did I mention these get dipped in butter?). But the simple way I do it is to grab a hunk o' dough, roll into a snake (channel your Play-Doh days), "tie" into an overhand knot and then tuck the ends under. The second rise seems to erase any mistakes by making everything plump and delicious-looking. Yeast is nice that way.
Whole Wheat Garlic Knots
Adapted from Joy the Baker
To get the eight knots, I made mine pretty hefty in size. Feel free to size them down to make mini versions and make this recipe stretch to feed a lot more hungry mouths.
Makes eight large knots
- 2-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1-1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
- In a small bowl, stir together yeast, water and sugar until well-combined. Set aside for about 5 minutes until mixture is frothy. If it never ends up frothing, your yeast might be dead and today may not be the day for garlic knots. Have froth? Proceed!
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat and all-purpose flours. Make a well in the center of the flours and pour in the yeast mixture, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Using your hands, mix the liquid into the flours until well-incorporated. Continue kneading the dough (you can do this in the bowl) for 5-10 minutes or until the surface is smooth.
- In a clean, medium-sized bowl, pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the dough and turn once to coat in oil. Cover bowl in a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm area for an hour or until doubled in size.
- After dough has risen, shape the knots by pulling off a hunk of dough, rolling into a snake and then tying into an overhand knot. Tuck the ends under and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with rest of the dough.
- Once all knots are formed, cover baking sheet in a kitchen towel and let rest and rise again for 30 minutes or until just poofy.
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Bake knots for 10-12 minutes or until just barely browned.
- While knots are baking, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, the garlic, butter and parsley in a large bowl.
- When knots come out of the oven, give them a quick dip in the butter mixture, making sure the garlic and parsley adhere to the knots.
Do you always have bread with soup?
We do! It's kinda the best part.
my favorite health and wellness apps
I've only officially been an iPhone adopter for a little over a week, but I've had an iPad for almost a year and it's given me plenty of time to get into the world of apps. The variety of amazing apps available out there to help with health and wellness is just remarkable. Here are some of my favorites:
For those of you not on the high-tech running bandwagon, RunKeeper allows you to accurately monitor your distance, pace and total time all by using GPS tracking. There are about a million and one GPS running apps out there, but I've really grown fond of RunKeeper specifically. I really enjoy the options for audio cueing and I think the display is easy to read and use. It functions well and I love that it plays right over my playlists. Who needs to shell out $200 for a GPS watch when you can do it all on your phone?
Babyface and I love a good hike and AllTrails is an app that helps you find hiking trails near you. The trails are listed with length, difficulty rating, photos and real-person reviews. Once you arrive at the trail, you can "check-in" on the app and it downloads a map and important information to your phone for viewing when you are offline.
I tried to use MyFitnessPal online before and was thoroughly unimpressed with the design and usability of the website, so imagine my shock when it turns out the MFP app is absolutely the best when it comes to nutrition and fitness tracking! I find it so easy to track food on the go now with the MFP app. Most tech-y fun part? It has barcode scanning. Eat from a box of crackers? Just scan the barcode and MFP will automagically add it to your food log.
Grocery IQ
I definitely believe that menu planning and buying your own food is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, so that's why a grocery shopping app made it on the list. I love this app! It is basically a supercharged grocery list making tool. I can set up separate lists for separate stores. It automatically categorizes the foods I enter based on the aisles I've set up. I can do barcode scanning (say, I need to replace that box of crackers I ate) and, it links directly into the Coupons.com database to find coupons that you can then wirelessly load to your store shopper's card. No need to print a grocery list or the coupons.
Seafood Watch
One of the more tricky parts of the grocery store to navigate is the seafood section. We often hear about sustainably raised beef and organic produce, but the news doesn't cover seafood frequently. Use this app to help determine what are good choices (both ethically and physically) for you and your family. And learn more about why you need to avoid certain seafoods like the plague.

Ex Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, in custody over the weekend
DETROIT (AP) — Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was locked up for the weekend Friday for violating parole in a 2008 criminal case that bounced him from office.
Kilpatrick was not arrested but arrived on his own after another day at the federal courthouse, where he's on trial for alleged corruption in a completely separate matter.
The Michigan Department of Corrections said Kilpatrick committed 14 violations related to his failure to report certain financial transactions last fall, especially money transfers to his wife, Carlita. He still owes Detroit $855,000 in restitution and is required to report gifts and other income as a condition of his parole.
Kilpatrick agreed to waive the formal process for parole violations and instead serve three days at a Detroit lockup as punishment, Corrections Department spokesman Russ Marlan said.
He's being housed at a former prison that is used by the state to keep parole violators in short-term custody. The dinner menu Friday was baked fish or a bean patty.
Officials earlier this month told Kilpatrick to give up the names of people who wired him $4,000 that he had failed to disclose. He was fitted with an electronic tether at the time for not disclosing money sent in December from a Chicago pastor. Officials have expressed concern that Kilpatrick is hiding assets that could be applied toward the restitution he owes.

A Quick Update
Giving you all a heads up, I will be attending Worlds! Just for Saturday and Sunday, not going to play but I will be there to watch and mingle. So please, introduce yourself, and if you have any questions or comments let me know! I would love to hear from you guys.
Once World's is over, I will be doing another photo dump of all of the Jinxy cover sightings all the way back from Portland. Before I forget, if you received a Calgary wheel cover, I would love to get some photos if you are using it on your bike.
Another reminder/heads up to all yous, I also print decals, and lately those seem to be the most popular order. 100 2.5" stickers for $35 aint too shabby. 2.5" might seem a little small, but trust me, these are the perfect size for helmets and bikes. If you are going to Worlds, keep you eyes open for my limited run of 100 and if you are playing, you will be getting either a 1, 2 or 3 on your helmet.
So for the time being, check out these great videos. Northern Standard has a very important update on their product, so take a look. If you haven't already seen it, Rawbie has a new video from their polo retreat up north, and Mr. Do posted up some home movies of his trip to Ladies Army.

I Do It For The Luvz
I wanted to give a huge thank you to Sacramento for their recent order of covers. Tournaments sometimes put a decent sized dent in my wallet, and it's hard to donate even a few covers. But for NAs I knew I couldn't skimp out on some sweet shwag for the best players in North America. 16 covers and 200 stickers will be on their way to Calgary. Not only am I sponsoring NAs, but Hawaii's first bike polo tournament! So Sacramento contacted me and ordered 20 wheel covers! Helping cover the cost of my sponsored goodies. My good friends in MPLS nabbed a few as well. So all in all, all I have to dish out of my pocket, is the shipping costs. It's a lot of work, and I really don't do it for the cash. It's really you guys that make it possible for people to get such sweet prizes in tournaments
So again, a huge thank you to everyone who has ever bought a custom wheel cover. :D Boy, do I love the poloverse.

Vegas, Baby
Since their first(?) far away tournament attendance, they now have the Tourney Bug. Yes it is contagious, and the only cure for it, is 6 months of planning, sponsor gathering and booze hording. Vegas is now in the works of planning their very own tournament. So for all of you snow birds, keep a look out for a winter tournament in the greatest city in the world.
Vegas cats sure do have some style too. Check out what they rolled in on for Polomania!
|Those are poker chips wheel covers. How perfect!
|Stylish and simple
Speaking of Polomania, my wheel covers finally arrived Monday morning and will be dished out accordingly to Joe. So those of you who won, or purchased covers, gimme pics! I really wish I was there, and I hope sooner than next year's Polomania, will I be able to visit ya'll in Sac. There is a huge thank you coming your way. To everyone else, just keep your eyes open at NA or Worlds.

Free Shit You Say?
The Los Angeles Bike Polo club has entered in a contest presented by Farmer John. We have a chance, with enough votes, to be posted up on billboards along with the other unique local sports throughout Los Angeles. If we hit 300 votes, then we will be entered in a grand prize drawing to win some other pretty nifty schwag.
Okay, okay, you want to hear about the free shit. I understand.
If you click this link right here and then "like" you can then vote for us! If you screen cap your vote, and email it to email@example.com along with your mailing address, I will send you a handful of my very own "Give Blood Play Polo" stickers. It ain't much, but hey, clicking a few times ain't much either.
Do you really wanna help support bike polo? Do you love us enough to vote a second time? Well you can! You can text TEAM79 to 80800
We are a little more than 30 votes away from getting the billboard. That's all I really care to get, I figure, our image staring at people on the 405 freeway while they are trapped in traffic, is the best way to really promote our oh so awesome sport. So get to it kids, and remember to share the link on your fb wall.
Here is another great idea from the mind of Jinxy... if you can refer 20 votes, and have your friends send me a screen cap with your name on it, you will get a free wheel cover with the design of your choice. Sound like a good challenge? Let's see it happen!
Thanks again so much to those who have voted, and to those who are going to!

If you have spotted my wheel covers in other tournaments, make sure to snap a pic! Always fun to see my covers in action!
Remember kids, a little more than a week left to get your orders in for NAs! Rep your team right!

Less than a Month
Get your wheel covers now!!
Less than a month away until the North American Championships which will be held in Calgary!
This means, you have less than a month to order you and your teams wheel covers! Although they aren't mandatory, don't you want to shine and really show off your colors and spirit in the millions of photos that will be taken during that weekend?
Special for people attending NAs, wheel covers are only $20 each and if you get 4 or more, then they go down to $15! Confirm that you are registered and attending. Also shipping will go down to $5 if they are going to be sent to Canada, $10-15 if you want these ahead of time.
I will be taking orders until July 20th to make sure I have everything printed and then shipped. Due to Canada's postal strike, I have to send these out to Seattle or to someone willing to lug these across the border for me.
So email me quick, even if you just have a few questions. Hope to hear from you soon!

Oct 2nd 2012. ANDY'S UNPOPULAR INSIGHTS. Mitt Romney has Worked Hard to Turn Himself Into President Gerald Ford - and He Has Succeeded.
First, let's look at Mitt's remark about the 47% of the US population being dependant on the Government.
Factually, Mitt is absolutely correct. FACTS: 49% of all of the workers in America pay NO Income Tax. 62 Million people are on some form of Social Security. 14 Million people, including millions of people who are UNDER 30 years of age, are on permanent Social Security Disability for the remainder of their lives. 47 Million people are on Food Stamps. 38 Million people are on some form of State and/or Local Welfare. 95% of America is about to go on some kind of Obamacare Medical Welfare, etc., etc., and etc.
Mitt's Brain-Dead mistake was saying, Those Government dependant people will never vote for Republicans. Like Daaa.
If Republicans "Write-Off" everyone who's on some kind of Gov welfare than with ObamaCare coming on-line they've "Written-Off" 95% of the voters.
President Ronald Reagan (a Republican) in 1984 won 49 States. If only 1,900 voters had changed from Mondale to Reagan in the State of Minnesota (Mondale's home State), President Reagan would have won ALL 50 States.
The reality is that today, in 2012, the Republicans are running a Gerald Ford clone for President. Kind of like an Afghan Dog - looks real pretty but it's DUMB.
ALSO in the "Tapes" Romney says, "The Palestinians really do NOT want peace."
In my Sept. 19th 2012 essay I wrote"
"Sept. 19 2012. ANDY'S UNPOPULAR OPINIONS. Is Mitt Romney a Total Dupe of the Zionists? Apparently - Yes.
In the 'tapes,' Mr. Romney says that the West Bank Palestinians, 'Really do NOT want Peace.'
The ONLY kind of 'Peace' that the Zionists have EVER talked about in the last 40 years is the 'Peace' of how the West Bank was going to live as a Slave State.
How dumb do you have to be to NOT see that?"
Mitt Romney IS Gerald Ford.
In the 1976 Presidential debate, then President Ford was running against an obscure Georgia Governor who had spent most of his life in the Navy - Jimmy Carter.
The debate touched on Poland, and Eastern Europe, and President Ford said, "There is NO Soviet domination of Eastern Europe." President Ford went on to say that not only Poland, but Romania and Yugoslavia were FREE from Soviet interference.
Every American voter with an Eastern European heritage was saying, "What kind of stupid jackass is this moron?"
So Mitt Romney, the other stupid jackass, moron, total Dupe of the Zionists, goes to Zionland and the West Bank as says, There are no slaves here. These people do NOT want peace.
That's like going to German occupied Warsaw in 1942, looking around, and saying, "It looks like a free country to me." Or like Gerald Ford in 1976 saying, Poland looks FREE to me.
Eight Percent of the people in the Total World are asking, "What planet is Romney living on? How stupid do you have to be to NOT see repression and slavery when you're standing right in the middle of it?"
As we know, Jimmy Carter went on to win the election. As US President, Jimmy Carter said some things that America should re-learn. In Carter's Inaugural Address in January of 1977 he said, "Our commitment to human rights must be absolute. The powerful must not dominate the weak. To be true to ourselves, we must be true to others."
In a December 1978 speech commemorating the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, President Carter said, "Human rights is the soul of our foreign policy because human rights is the very soul of our sense of nationhood."
President Carter also said, "America did not invent human rights, it was human rights that invented America."
In 2002 Mr. Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize.
President Carter is a deeply religious Evangelist, and President Carter is PROOF that a person can be an Evangelist WITHOUT also being a dupe, lacky, and sucker of the slave holding Zionists. American needs a lot more President Carter type of Evangelist. Evangelists who DO NOT have the Zionist Devil setting on their shoulder.
In President Carters' 2006 book, Palestine: Peace NOT Apartheid, Mr. Carter said that the West Bank is a Zionist prison where the people are being strangled with oppression and poverty. Where malnutrition, mal-education and unemployment run at 60% to 80% levels. In Mr. Carter's 2006 book he wrote, "The United States is squandering its international prestige and goodwill, and intensifying global anti-American terrorism by condoning Israeli confiscation and COLONIZATION of Palestinian territories."
I guess President Carter in 2006 was totally wrong? Anti-America sentiment and demonstrations in the Muslim World, in the last seven years, have absolutely and clearly Gone Down to the point where today anti-American activity is almost non-existent. An American walking anywhere in the Muslim world is today SAVER than walking the streets of Omaha, Nebraska. America clearly needs to keep doing A LOT more of what's working - like supporting Palestinian slavery with a war against Iran.
Mr. Romney is absolutely and 10,000% correct, and true to America's best core traditions, when Mr. Romney says that the poverty of the Palestinians in the West Bank slave State PROVES that Palestinians should be colonial slaves of the Zionists.
However, I am a little confused, does the poverty of many Blacks in America PROVE that America needs to return to Black slavery? Maybe so?

Big Ride: Bala
Rob Spedding | Cycling Plus | 08/04/2013 17:55pm
Ghost forest
We dodge main road traffic on the pavement bike path before sneaking off onto the singletrack road back into the hills. The bracken is rusty with autumn rain and sheep kneel to eat the last of the fresh grass before winter comes. Broad megalithic dry stone walls have thick mossy coats fermenting over the top in blues, greys and vivid greens. Field boundaries follow the rocks, not any sort of systematic grid or geometric principle.
Make sure you're not drawn down the tempting twisty hill towards the bridge and National Cycle Network 82. The road down through Coed y Brenin is certainly a stunning, seemingly endless singletrack descent, but it drops you out into main road no man's land. Instead cut left, following the flat river valley as it twists and rises into the wide open mountainscape. Don't worry that there's no sign of the woods the OS maps shows, as they've obviously been felled a long time since. Now it's a moonscape of stream-sculpted moorland mounds and grassy flanks with a few tiny Christmas trees peeping over brows in an apologetic attempt at regrowth.
The contour lines on the map certainly aren't lying though, and with 300m of climbing in under 3km this is the first serious climb of the day. Glancing over my shoulder the view is genuinely epic, with the river glinting in the sun as it curves away towards a brilliantly lit notch between the big western mountains. Winding over the summit the rewards of your effort are clear to see – the ribbon of singletrack tarmac rollercoasters down in one giddily long cascade after another as open moor drops down into bouldery pastureland. Just keep your eyes peeled and your mouth shut, though.
There's half a dozen gates to watch out for and the sheep's rear veneer will be lethal in the wet. Once you're through the first farmyard and into farmland the world changes again, with steeper hills and shorter sight lines down the wooded roads making early braking a wise precaution. My Scott Foil glides across the flats to the end of Lake Bala on adrenaline and advanced aerodynamics, but there's still plenty of work left on our planned route.
Killer climb
Crossing the Twrch river in Llanuwchllyn we swing off and up round the switchback. It's a reasonably gradual rise and the road surface is surprisingly good. Rolling hills carpeted in vivid grass peer over the top
of Devon-deep hedges as they contour gradually upwards under the watchful eye of occasional slate cottages. Autumn leaves drop into the white-whipped stream in the valley bottom and the centre of the road turns greasy green as I shudder across cattle grids with fairytale waterfalls cascading through the woodland.
If your brain hasn't realised already, your legs will certainly be making it clear that you've done a serious amount of climbing now. The end of the valley turns truly Alpine to prove it too. Gorse clings desperately onto the slopes rising at a neck-straining angle on your right while an Armco safety rail stops you dropping off the far edge. The road rises in a series of short kickers interspersing the longer tempo sections. It's exposed too, which isn't kind when the weather closes in, stealing both the last bit of body warmth and views as I tap a ragged tempo over the top and drop to the three-way junction.
Dam fine descent
Straight ahead the optional road to Dinas Mawddwy drops dizzyingly, with no less than 11 steep gradient warning arrows on the OS map and 345m of height change in under 2km. The weather has drawn the curtains in on the already fading light, so I have to forgo the challenge today and test tyres and nerves on the fantastic twisting descent to Lake Vyrnwy instead.
It's a flat- out charge through the golden leaves over the dam and back round the other side and then one last long climb up through the woods alongside another typically wild Welsh stream. It's a fantastic Alpine style 'pick a gear and commit' climb with several false summits and cursing crux sections before we break clear of the trees and onto the final descent. The devil may care descent is equally Alpine in its speed, exposure and demands for commitment, and it's a fantastic way to cash in hard won climbing chips.
The last sun of the day even stabs through the grey again to soothe tuck-tourniqueted shoulders and climb-cramped calves as I roll back into Bala. This isn't a particularly long ride, but it is amazingly rich in terms of remoteness, epic views and silent solitude, whether you choose to drink it in over a long day or hammer it out in a few hours.

The Obama Administration's 15 Scandalous "Achievements"
Sometimes I think my conservative compatriots go a bit too far. They say that the three-year-old Obama administration is totally void of achievement. That is total nonsense; in three short years Barack Obama has increased the national debt by $5 trillion dollars, that's more than George Bush did in eight years and almost as much as every president from Washington-Clinton combined.
I don't want to give you the impression that Obama's only achievement was the record increase in debt, but the man who promised change Washington D.C. can also count some scandals among his achievements. Here are just some of his achievements:

No No No. It's only one scandalous achievement. It's all the same plan. His presidency is the scandalous achievement. He's has a sleeper hold on America and our knees are about to hit the matt. Everything he has done has been a carefully calculated sequentially executed plan.+3
15? The number is way to low.
Don't forget about fighting transparency to see who's on the list of guest visiting the whitehoue.
Working out a deal so that the 52,000 millionaires with swiss acounts who intentionally evaded paying taxes would not have to pay penalties, fines, interest, or be charged if they paid the taxes owed, giving the wealthy he detest a break the working class don't recieve, and most importantly would NOT have their names released…hmmmm wonder how many donors or democrats are on the list?
Refused to say who was on air force 1 in the manhatten flyover.
Signed legislation to spy on citizens, shut down the internet, and take over all aspects of american life via his csars if HE declares martial law.
Keeps outing intelligence data on Israel to protect Iran and anything he can do to keep Israel from stopping Iran in its quest to get a nuclear weapon, even gave them the best and 1 of americas best piece of military intelligence hardware completely intact (the drone) and broke miltary protocol to destroy it or retrieve it.
Appointed an AG who refuses to prosecute black people committing civil rights violation based on race …essentially….appointed a black racist to the highest judicial position in america..
Vetoed the pipeline with his own pen then blamed republicans outright lieing and perjuring his own title and position.
Refuses to stop any attempts of voter fraud and is sueing states to allow its existance with his AG saying theres no proof it happens even though multiple democrats have been indicted on the 2008 presedential elections.
Uses stimulus money to give to businesses in other countries jobs but blames republicans for job losses.
Give preferential green stimulus money to big money campaign donors.
Rails wallstreet but loads his staff with wallstreet investment bankers.
Refuses to arrest a governor and campaign donor (Corzine) who broke FTC rules, bankrupt a financial instituion, stole investors money and retirement funds with no one being able to find the missing billion dollars.
Continues his quest for free trade exporting jobs but blaming republicans.
Gives money to known terrorists organizations in Egypt who took over the country for kidnapping americans.
Keeps pushing a green agenda for wealthy greenies who could care less for the environment and only want higher energy prices for their own wealth.
Said when he passed his healthcare it wasn't a tax, but is argueing now in front of the supreme court that it is.
Said when he passed his healthcare republicans were using scare tactics when they said abortions would be mandated, then mandated abortions to be covered trampling on religious institutions.
Won't search middle easterners on flights because it stereotypes instead hires loser snot nosed liberals to molest US citizens and harass the elderly.

"Wrong kid died!"The nasty end of Parental Favoritism. Where there's an Alpha wolf, there's got to be an Omega. When there is a first banana, there is a second banana. This is the person in the family who can't get a break. For example, this is the child who's the big let-down to their parents, the daughter that was supposed to be a son (or vice-versa), the child the parents had by accident when they'd already decided they didn't need another mouth to feed. But all in all, this is basically the kid who is always getting the short-end of the stick. A regular line that may be entailed with this is a variant of, "Honestly, (insert name), why can't ya be more like (insert favorite's name)?" Frequently, being The Unfavorite is a Freudian Excuse for a character who's a particularly pathetic loser. If the Parental Favoritism was garden variety (or even a product of his/her imagination), PG-rated Wangst, this is probably being played for comedy, a weak excuse for being a failure. If the favoritism was particularly vicious, however, up to and including abuse, The Unfavorite becomes a more tragic character — most probably The Woobie. Sometimes, however, the Unfavorite is almost suspiciously well-adjusted. A variant is where The Unfavorite is actually highly successful and dutiful, but can never get the approval of his parents, simply because their sibling will always do "better" in their parents' eyes. ("Hey look, dad, I won the Nobel Prize for Physics!" "Only one? That's nothin' — your brother won Employee of the Month at Shop 'n Go 3 times!"). The Unfavorite doesn't need to play second fiddle to an actual sibling, and can even be an only child. Unfavorites without a sibling are often unwanted or unexpected children and can even, in perhaps an extreme case, be passed over for the family pet. The audience's attitude towards the unfavorite is often based on what age the character is. There's a common perception that an adult character should really have gotten over this by now and moved on, even if the viewers/readers empathize with them. A child character, on the other hand, is likely to get the audience's unreserved support. Age notwithstanding, this is usually a character you sympathize with, because we're supposed to root for the disadvantaged; expect the favorite either to be rubbing their status in their sibling's face, be an Aloof Big Brother, or completely unaware of the situation. It is, however, completely possible that the character is interpreting some behavior as favoritism — and the other character also regards himself as the Unfavorite. (Cue Sibling Rivalry.) Also, another possible situation is that the favorite is indeed aware of the situation, sympathize with the unfavorite, and may even start the "talk with the parents" scene. And Heaven help the poor kid if the favorite child is dead. (Possibly having received the status of "favorite" by dying.) See also You Should Have Died Instead. Can easily escalate into Cain and Abel. May be rooted in a Death by Childbirth. May cross over with "Well Done, Son!" Guy if the Unfavorite wants some recognition. If the favorite of the parents isn't even a member of their family, it's a case of Why Are You Not My Son?. When each parent has one favorite and one Un Favorite, it's Jacob and Esau.

Wayne Rooney will not feature on the front cover of FIFA game for the first time in seven years, CVG understands.
[UPDATE:EA has confirmed that Rooney will not make the cover of FIFA 13.
In a statement issued to CVG, the publisher said:
"After seven successful seasons working with Wayne, we have mutually agreed not to renew our partnership. During this period, both Wayne and the FIFA franchise have achieved phenomenal success but the time feels right for both parties to explore other avenues. We wish Wayne the very best of luck in the future and we look forward to him accomplishing even greater success for both club and country."]
The Man Utd and England star has featured on every FIFA box cover since 2005, sharing the spotlight over the years with the likes of Kaka, Frank Lampard and Ronaldinho.
Yet EA Sports will announce today that Wayne Rooney will not appear on the front cover, with Barcelona ace Lionel Messi taking the spotlight. Two other football stars, thought to be young promising talent, will join Messi on the box art.
A press conference will begin at 6pm (BST) to announce the cover stars:
EA has declined to comment on CVG's information.
Rooney's relationship with EA has remained solid since 2005, despite a number of incidents that have affected his reputation. In 2010 a tabloid newspaper claimed that Rooney had a string of encounters with a prostitute while his famous wife Coleen was pregnant with the pair's child.
At the time EA stood behind Rooney claiming that "we have worked together for six years and Wayne continues to represent EA Sports".

Set to take place in Pula, Croatia between August 28 and 31, the 2014 edition of the annual Dimensions Festival has revealed another wave of acts set to appear this summer. A separately ticketed opening event will kick off the festivities this year on August 27, with the likes of Darkside, Caribou, and Nils Frahm performing in a 2,000 year old Roman amphitheater located within Fort Punta Christo. The entirety of Dimensions will span across Fort Punta Christo's Adriatic coastline, offering "some of the most unique stages of any festival in the world." Set to take to those stages throughout the end of August are Theo Parrish (pictured above), Mala, Gilles Peterson, Kode9, Moodymann, Nina Kraviz, Metro Area, Ben UFO, Marquis Hawkes, Om Unit, Jessy Lanza, Jon Hopkins, Floating Points, Juan Atkins' and Moritz von Oswald's Borderland project, and many more. Before the next wave of artists are announced in the coming months, the current line-up for Dimensions can be glanced through here, and festival tickets can be purchased here.

You might have heard, I've officially gone and done it! I'm blonde now! I've been meaning (and wanting) to do it for sometime now, probably realistically more than a year and I've finally taken a leap of faith and done it! It has been an interesting time adjusting to having blonde hair I admit (and the maintainence!), you have to take into account what clothing colours will coordinate with your lighter hair colour - though for someone who would wear lots of dark colours when I had dark hair, this is no real adjustment... just a mental adjustment I think. I still feel strange seeing myself with blonde hair but have been enjoying putting Manic Panic cotton candy pink through my tips! These are truly my favourite shoes I have ever purchased - say hello to my Jeffrey Campbell Perfect Spike. I can't wait to wear these in NYC and for Australian Fashion Week, they're so comfortable and so chic! To quote 'Shit Fashion Girls Say' #obessed!!
What I wore:
American Apparel silk crop top
American Apparel skirt
Jeffrey Campbell Perfect Spike
Chloe python paraty
Rodrigo Otazu exclusive one off necklace
Assorted rings; YSL Arty ring, Little Black Book crystal ring, Isharya Nile ring

The Freedom From Religion Foundation has positive billboard campaigns popping up across the country. The most recent batch went up in Columbus, OH and were followed by a bit of controversy. Dylan Galos's billboard was removed from its original location, because said location was on church property and the church complained.
Whatever, Dylan's billboard has a new home. End of story, right?
Apparently the FFRF tipped off the county auditor that the church hadn't been paying taxes on the billboard they owned - and now they'll have to. Wah wah.

We accept applications to become a peer reviewer on a rolling basis. To apply, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com!
The Jackson School Journal depends on a core group of peer reviewers to refine its selection process and encourages any undergraduate with an interest in reading or writing about international affairs to become a peer reviewer. Peer reviewers are the first to read pieces once they are submitted, and their comments are instrumental in guiding the final publication choices of the Editorial Board. The peer reviewing process enables the Editorial Board to base its decisions on a wider pool of opinions, which in turn helps ensure the quality and integrity of the Journal.
Peer reviewers are expected to attend a training workshop in the middle of the production cycle. This workshop will introduce peer reviewers to the Journal's approach to evaluating submissions and provide an excellent opportunity for undergraduates to become familiar with a professional publication process.
How to Apply
To apply to become a peer reviewer, please send an email indicating your name, year, and academic background and interests to email@example.com.
Peer reviewers are eligible receive 1 credit of SIS 499 (Independent Study) for working with the Journal. If you are interested in signing up to receive credit, please include your full name, student number, major, and UW email in your application email.
Reviewing Criteria
Peer reviewers are responsible for submitting a brief paragraph to the Editorial Board commenting on the quality of the pieces they were assigned, within a week of their assignment date and attending a meeting with the Journal's Editorial Board. These comments should address the following questions:
- Did the piece lay out a clear thesis with a well-thought out argument? Is this thesis interesting or innovative?
- Is the argument convincing? Does the author use quality evidence? Are there any unsubstantiated claims? Does the author use analysis and commentary to link these pieces of evidence together?
- Does the author employ a broader theoretical framework? Is this framework well-explained?
- Beyond grammar, citation and other stylistic concerns, does the piece have any major flaws that would require a large amount of work?
- Who is the target audience?
- Should the piece be considered for publication? (Possible answers: A) Yes, this is a fairly strong paper; B) Maybe, after extensive revision. It does have potential; or C) No, overall this is a weak paper.)
Peer reviews should not be too concerned with formatting, spelling or grammar issues, nor should a peer reviewer spend more than an hour on one paper. Edits or revisions are not necessary: all the Editorial Board needs is a quick assessment of whether a submission is worth a second, closer read.
Reviewers are required to meet with the Editorial Board to discuss their comments in person. The meeting for Spring 2013 will be on Saturday, April 21, 2013. More info on the Spring 2013 meeting can be found on our Facebook event page.

SC inmates with illegal phones guide guard rescue
BISHOPVILLE, S.C. (AP) — Inmates at a maximum security prison in South Carolina used illegal cell phones to guide rescuers to a guard who was being held hostage in the facility.
A guard at the Lee Correctional Institution in Bishopville was rescued shortly before 10 p.m. Thursday, nearly five hours after the correctional officer was taken hostage.
Corrections Department spokesman Clark Newsom says the officer suffered cuts and bruises but was able to walk out of the prison. The officer's name was not released. He was taken to a local hospital to be examined.
Newsom says a group of inmates using homemade knives forced the guard into a broom closet.
Newsom told The State newspaper (http://bit.ly/QL8nLm) one or more inmates using illegal cell phones told officers where the guard was being held.

The Cutler Majestic Theatre
Welcome back to Fauxology! I hope your Labor Day weekend was wonderful — mine was restful and yet I got a lot done. Love that! Well, we are moving on to the second site our roving correspondent, Monica Arrache, visited during her hometown visit to Boston. Please be sure to see her visit to The Paramount Center.
The Majestic Theatre, designed by architect John Galen Howard and Beaux Arts enthusiast, opened as an opera house in 1903. Emerson College purchased the theatre and a 20-year renovation of the intricately colored washes and detailed ornamentation was finished in 2003. It was often called the "House of Gold" since every piece of decorative plaster is gilded. It also features murals by William de Leftwich Dodge. After a past of opera productions, vaudeville and a movie house, today it is a 21st-century venue for all types of student and professional productions. The renovation won major awards from such organizations as the National Trust for Historic Preservation, who says that the interiors are like being "inside a Faberge egg". That, in itself, would get me there.
You may ask yourself: How does a college get these renovations funded? For the Cutler Majestic, the tag was $14.8 million over a 20-year span. It also took the efforts of hundreds of volunteers (starting with debris removal), private donors, foundations, corporations and both city and state government cooperation. It was renamed the Cutler Majestic after one of the major donors, Ted Cutler, who is the chair of Emerson College's Board of Trustees.
I hope you've enjoyed this visit to the Cutler Majestic. Private walking tours are $5 per person and if you have a group of 10 or more, a docent is provided for you. I'll be sure to visit the Majestic the next time I'm in Boston. Will you? I want to thank Monica again for the lovely images and information she provided. I'll see you tomorrow, same bat time, same bat place.

Holiday shoppers flock to stores for returns and deep discounts
BY SANDRA GUY Business email@example.com December 26, 2012 6:36PM
Shoppers crowded the stores on State St. (at Washington) on the day after Christmas. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: January 28, 2013 4:01PM
This year, the day after Christmas is expected to mark the biggest gift-return day of any holiday season, and Chicago shoppers lined up Wednesday as if to prove the forecast correct.
Shoppers with receipts and bags of wrongly sized, mistaken and unwanted presents in hand underscored AlixPartners analyst Joel Bines' forecast that return volume will hit an all-time high because so many retailers offered free shipping this year.
"The rate of returns and exchanges will be 10 percent to 15 percent higher for any given retailer this year than they typically are," Bines said Wednesday.
The reason? Brick-and-mortar retailers are being forced like never before to compete with online retailers by offering free shipping, and in many cases, free return shipping of orders of all sizes, Bines said.
"Free shipping removes an impediment to consumers' reluctance to buy so much, because they know they can freely ship it back or return it to the local store," said Bines, the managing director who runs the retail practice at the Southfield, Mich.-based consulting firm.
Estimates show 15 percent to 20 percent of holiday gifts are returned or exchanged. That's a big number, given that the National Retail Federation forecasts this year's holiday retail sales will total $586.1 billion.
Michelle Washington, 49, an events specialist who lives in the South Loop, returned a zip-front fleece jacket and a pair of corduroy pants she bought online at Old Navy for her mother because they were one size too big.
Washington returned the goods to the Old Navy store in the Loop on Wednesday so she could avoid shipping the goods back, and so she could meet her mother to try on the clothes and find the right fit.
"Mom wants to take a look for herself," she said.
Samantha Sims, 36, a Kenwood resident and ninth-grade English teacher at King College Prep High School, returned a "Just Dance 4" music video game to the CityTarget store in the Loop because she had chosen the wrong format.
The game, for Sim's daughter, 8-year-old Elizabeth Sims-Wilson, had to be formatted for the Wii U, and Sims had mistakenly grabbed one for the Microsoft Xbox.
Elizabeth nodded her approval as her mom pulled the correct version out of her shopping bag.
Oliver Haimson, 32, a recent economics graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, was on his way to Kohl's to exchange a too-small winter hat that his mother had bought him for one that fits.
Chicagoans returning to stores on the traditionally largest gift-return day enjoyed a bonus this year. With what could turn out to be the lowest holiday sales in four years, shoppers surveyed aisles of heavily discounted goods throughout local stores.
Amid the return aisles, shoppers snapped up sales ranging from 30 percent at Anthropologie to clearance discounts as high as 75 percent at Macy's, Target, Kmart and Kohl's.
The first holiday spending report to be published, Mastercard Advisors SpendingPulse, showed Wednesday that sales from Oct. 28 through Dec. 24 eked out an 0.7 percent increase from a year ago, compared with retail industry forecasts of jumps of 3.5 percent to 4.5 percent.
Michael McNamara, vice president of Mastercard Advisors SpendingPulse, said sales of electronics, jewelry, specialty apparel, leather goods and furniture took a hit from shopper worries about how the "fiscal cliff" may hurt their pocketbooks and tough winter weather ranging from blizzards to Hurricane Sandy.
A clearer picture will emerge next week as retailers like Macy's and Target report monthly sales.
McNamara said the final week in December can account for more than 15 percent of retailers' sales for the month, so "there is an opportunity for retailers to make up some ground."
Indeed, National Retail Federation spokeswoman Kathy Grannis maintained Wednesday the retail group's 4.1 percent sales-increase prediction.
"It's too early for us to gauge how sales have fared," she said. "This is the beginning of another very big week for retailers, and we are still expecting sales to increase 4.1 percent."
But analyst Adam Hanft, CEO of Hanft Projects, a brand consultancy firm in Manhattan, said he sees a "fundamental" shift downward in spending as Baby Boomers worry about retirement, Millennials owe big student loans and are less materialistic than their parents, and Generation Y (ages 18-29) experience high unemployment.
"There is a deeper consumer malaise at work," Hanft said. "I don't see any turnaround soon."

It's by no means anything remotely original, borrowing almost all of its ideas from a three year old PC game, but in terms of console fragfoolery, it's up there with the best of them for visual splendour and all out intense action.
Strafing and running is fine - even more natural feeling than when a keyboard is used - but the Xbox controller's right analog stick just can't compete with the precision of a mouse. [Winter 2002, p.84]

is produced locally. Fresh hardwood chips are generally "blonde" or tan in color, and can last for several years after being installed. Most commonly, hardwood chips are used as a base material around childrens' play sets, and in play yards. They are also ideal for dog yards, controlling unwanted growth in wooded areas, and to control mud in wet areas.
Playmat woodchips
are the ideal product for your playsets. This product consists of hardwood chips which have been reground and "tumbled" removing any potentially rough edges from the chips. This product is ideal for smaller kids who may fall off of play equipment, or who tend to crawl or roll in the playset area.

Global BioDiagnostics Receives Wellcome Trust Support For Development Of New TB Diagnostic
CHESHIRE, England, March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
A UK company has received a £2.6m ( $4.3m) Strategic Translation Award from the Wellcome Trust to progress its development of a new, rapid point-of-care test for the diagnosis of tuberculosis , one of the world ' s biggest killers.
Global BioDiagnostics (GBD), based at Sci-Tech Daresbury, Cheshire, UK, and Texas, USA, has received the Wellcome Trust money after completing a proof of concept study of a new technique for the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
The test can detect the bacterium that causes TB in as little as 10 minutes. It is based on technology developed at Texas A&M and Stanford and recently described in Nature Chemistry.The ultimate goal is to develop an accessible, affordable test that can be used at the point of care level in communities across the developing world. A benchmark evaluation study undertaken in the US and Peru using fresh sputum from suspected TB patients has proven feasibility of the technique for the rapid diagnosis of TB. Michael T. Norman, CEO of Global BioDiagnostics, said: "This new funding will support refinements of the assay technology and further product development work culminating in field trials of the diagnostic test and CE registration. "We hope to develop a test that will enable accurate diagnosis at an earlier stage of infection, while requiring little by way of clinical or technical skill, in a matter of minutes and at a fraction of current costs." The new diagnostic test uses technology developed by Dr Jeffrey D Cirillo of Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine, near Houston, and Dr Jianghong Rao of Stanford University, California. The basic research has taken more than five years and has been funded through an on-going £3m-plus ( $5m-plus) grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to Texas A&M. The technology utilises novel chemical substrates that generate a fluorescent signal when they come into contact with an enzyme produced by the bacterium causing TB. This technology is called Reporter Enzyme Fluorescence, or REF. The fluorescent signal is easily detected by simple, low cost, portable fluorometers that are commercially available.

What xbox 360 kinect package is befitting oneself
The doubt on everybody's thoughts at the moment is "where can I get the advantageous deal on the actual xbox kinect " There are totally a several places you will be able to get some really from this world deals on the ps3 kinect. At the beginning we need to find out what a person admittedly need. I don't know in case you are knowing of this or even not but there are actually a few options that you have to choose from. For the most part you might have these choices referred to as "packages. " A console is simply an arrangement of hardware and software based on precise interests. For example you can get a sports console, which will come with all the sports toy along with an exercise program for your kinect. The 1 thing you want to be somewhat attentive of if you are purchasing for bundles is to make sure you are comparing apples to apples. For the most part, each furnisher offers different consoles. Microsoft, for example, offers a kinect with the 1 or 2 game option. Gamestop offers the kinect with a 1 or three game opportunity. If you see an enormous argument in value you may want to just accelerated double make sure that all things is the same. 1 of the greatest mistakes which i see is when you are purchasing the xbox 360 kinect bundles which comprise the xbox and the kinect. The complication comes in when you do not check to see what xbox 360 kinect console you are receiving. 1 console has an xbox kinect with a 4 GB hard drive, while another one has every little thing particularly the alike only it has a 250 GB hard drive. This is a distinction of between 100 dollars. 1 last critical highlight you need to glance at is the condition of the kinet. The kinect has been out for a while now and we are beginning to see refurbished xbox 360 kinect out available on the market. There bundles generally traffic for any hardly ever bit under the characteristic kinect. As for where to get the desirable discounts on the cyberspace goes. swag bucks There is one place that I move on with to come back to since of the awesome savings and consistent service. Feel free to take a peer at xbox 360 kinect to get the best sales on the net.

It's really crazy how ignorant some otherwise-intelligent people can act around chronic illness. Even people working in supposedly progressive health institutions. Here's a note I got lately from a woman in Germany (with an English mum), who lost her job in a medical lab over her diabetes. Yes, she did have some issues with hypoglycemia. But she feels her employers knee-jerk reacted, never giving her a chance. Her story:
I am 37
years old and diabetes hit me when I was five, so 32 years makes me quite an
expert! To top this, I studied medicine and recently I was working as an intern
at a big lab.
On the occasion of the events, which
occurred at work, I wanted to use the chance to communicate that an equal treatment of people with diabetes is unfortunately not given everywhere. I am an
intern in a large laboratory in Ingelheim, Germany, or better said, I was. On the
15 of September, my contract ended and although personnel requirements exist, a
new doctor was hired for October, and they didn't offer me an extended
In contrast, my two colleagues, who began the professional training
approximately at the same time, were hired on. That is, both were hired after they
terminated their professional training and took their holidays, which they had
saved up. They were then financially secured up to the board
certification as a specialist in laboratory medicine, and afterwards they were
transferred to a "safe unlimited employer-employee relationship." Both of them were paid as specialists even
before passing their exams.
In contrast, my contract ended on the
15 of September, and I am now unemployed (disadvantaged)
without prospect of finding employment before
my board certification, currently job searching and preparing for my exam. Three not-insignificant loads together.
Surely they never told me directly into the
face that I am not further-employed due to diabetes. That would have had
consequences pertaining to labour law. At a time, in which I had frequent
hypoglycemias during work, I was told in an eye-to-eye conversation with my
boss, that one would have to think about a continued employment,
"if this condition does not change."
I eliminated
the frequency of hypoglycemia with the help of my endo and a change of my insulin.
Also, I was not otherwise more frequently ill than others, never received a
