I didn't die. I just have scars on my arms, andended up in the teen ward at the hospital for a week. I wish I could change.
And I continue to change...yet my habits remain the same. My days consist of crying, praying my mother will leave so I can cut, taking all my medications, and sleeping...Then once I awake...I see if my mother is home, pop a few more pills...and go to bed. Somedays, I'll ride my bike while listening to music...other days I won't leave the computer screen for hours. I'm looking for someone...anyone out there that will just by my friend...Someone I can almost perfectly relate to, yet it seems impossible because how can someone be my friend if I push them away.. ::sigh:: My arms are sore...I have over 170 cuts on each... I hope they clear up by Friday because that's when my Psychiatrist apt. is...Better yet Wed. because that's when my Therapist, mother, and I met... ::sigh:: I'm taking my last 2 valiums, and going back to bed... I am sick of staying up..While I was on 7 Valiums about 6 hours ago I wrote this in my journal...I barely remember writing it.. I'm tired. I'm sick of everything around me. I cut my arms over 170 times, and I still want more. I want the courage, and just be able to press down with anger on my wrists, and slowly doze away with relief. Within the past 3 days I've consumed 35 Valiums and 9 Effexors...I'm DYING inside to die. I just want to leave this world. I don't hold a purpose in it. Everyone else here is here because they are told to be. Well, I believe we should have the choice to leave. And that's exactly what I plan on doing. As much I love everyone, I can't take it anymore..........I'm taking 3 more Effexor, and then going to sleep. I love you all. -Natalie Jean Prskalo
To think that's what I looked like when I was writing a couple years ago... It's weird to think of it that way...The different is amazing in my eyes. Mainly because in somestrange way, I'm happy of how I am turning out...I don't know what I am talking about.. :-\..natalie..
Does anyone even read this?Anyways..It's amazing when so many of your memories are held togetherby an internet journal...30min of happiness, and that isn't sex related..natalie.
Grr, what happened to my good mood?I miss the old days...nat.
Amazing isn't? Everyone seems to go back to what they first had. I know someone will end up reading this, but I don't care becauseI'm sure it will be, too late to even talk to me about. So, you decideto come over to my house at 1:00am, and talk to me about how you are hurt...About what you miss. I don't care. I mean, I do, but I don't want to hear it. Sitting there with you for 2 hours didn't do anythingbut make this a more difficult situation. Of course I'm not going to takeyou back. Why would I? You make me miserable. You kill me. Sayingyou would cut off your leg for another chance doesn't temp me togiving into you. Nothing ever could because I know I can do better.You treated me like shit...I didn't deserve that, and I still don't. I will admit. You looked hurt, but I can't do that to myself again.I just want to forget what we had...Sure it meant everything to meat the time, but now...I could care less...With this said...I was never in love, and I'm willing to admit that.Love, Natalie
I gave you the wrong link...I spelled it wrong...www.livejournal.com/users/xfatalpromisesxYup, please stop by and comment!!!¤...Natalie..¤
This isn't a goodbye forever, but for a while...I'm going to have....Blurty...this oneLivejournal...www.livejournal.com/users/xfatalpromiesxXanga..I can't telll younow....yeah....I'll probably be using LJ the most tho because it's faster than blurty...-nat-I'll most likely still post in here....
Well, Saturday I'm getting my hair done. My mom thinksI dye my hair too much. I mean yea I do but comeon you only live once. Why nottry as many things as you can before you are gone. I'm trying to find a damn picture of howI want my hair, but so far noluck. I can't believe the Falltour for Taking Back Sunday.The bands that are touringwith them are fucking amazing.That's going to be a reallygreat concert. I hope I get togo to it. Something that pisses meoff is watching Room Raidersand they are like, "Oh my godshe's so hot.." Even thoughher personality obviouslysucks huge ass balls. You haveyou realize...People's looks don'tstay with them forever. Unlessyou find older people attractive haha.Oh well, I don't even know why I wrote about that. I it was just some-thing that has been bothering me."Promise me, you'll never let go-Matchbook Romance"
So, this is what my life has come toNot sleeping, eating chips, and watchingcartoons. Does anyone else think thisis some what pathetic? I've just been dying for a change...anythingdifferent would make me smile. I think I'm getting my hair dyed today. I can't wait.It better not look like shit or someone will die...Other Notes..Why the hell doesn't anyone comment in this thing.I mean, I know I'm not the most interestingperson and my journal isn't the greatest, but geez at least say hi. I mean COME ONI'm allowing you to read my events and thoughts.The least I can get is a comment. Right? Right!I can't sleep anymore. There is just too much shizzle fitty on my mind... And if you guyshaven't noticed I'm not the one that shouldthink a lot. It keeps me up at night. Then that's all I end up thinking about for daysso I just space out for so long. It's amazingto look in the mirror and notice yourself gettingolder and more mature. Maybe it's just me noticingthis, but I slowly am changing. For the better though.Hopefully...I'm not changing to be like someoneunlike Amanda's friend Jessica, who by the way I can not WAIT to just bitch at for trying to be something she isn't. I'm just sick of the same thing everyday. I don't know, I haven'tslept so I am just typing nonsense. I really hope I get to dye my hair today. I'll be SOO happy...This is so fucking pathetic..Why am I even watching this stupid shit?? Dora the Exploreris on Nick Jr. and I have no idea why I am watching it. Screw this, I'm going to watch a movie or something. Anything to makethis time pass. If you read this youbetter comment. JUST SAY HI!!! I'm so perfect for you...-The Early November nat~~~~~~~~<3I swear to god I have over 20 fucking mosquito bites....

First day I got there we just hung out at amandas for a little bit then went to lake ridge baseball field. Drew, Aaron, Stephen, Drew's brother and Mitch were there. Did almost nothing for like 2 hours straight. Then aaron rode me on his moped to his barn and went back to go get his "boyfriend" or so he told me...(drew) Then me amanda stephen drew and aaron just hung out in the barn...later on aaron went to go play tennis so amanda and stephen started FUCKING haha no they just started making out sooo me and drew went on the stairs outside and just talked which was nice, probably one of the best conversations I've had with a guy lately..It's so f'in beautiful out there compared to this shit hole town whiting!!!!

I wish our field was called that...I wish we woulda went back to the barn with them amanda but noooo you and your paronoid self just couldn't do it...Theeeen the next day we were suppose to go wake stephen and drew up at 6am but we slept too long :-( sooo then the next day we did the same thing sep drew wasn't there. So when amanda and stephen started kissing me and aaron went outside and talked...Man aaron it's gotta be the birthday thats fucking up our relationships haha. That was a very good conversation as well. We were spying on amanda and stephen haha. I sat on something though and it made a loud noise so me and aaron just started moaning haha. Then today I was suppose to hang out with all 3 of the guys again BUT drew got grounded. So we ended up going to the lake ridge field and they were doing stuff while me and aaron rode on the moped....WE ARE COCK BLOCKERS haha and amandas a cum dumpster with a loose vagina!!! hahaha. Then aaron went home so I just sat on the blechers by myself while they were at the other end doing stuff. When I was sitting there I called drew, nicole, and april.

DON'T CALL MY NAME OUT YOUR WINDOW I'M LEAVING...I'M SICK OF WRITING EVERY SONG ABOUT YOU...DON'T CALL MY NAME OUT YOUR WINDOW I'M LEAVING... -nat-
Hung out with amanda and amanda. we just hung out in the rain. at the park in the litte train made for 2-7 year olds. Almost got into a fight with 3 clark girls. They called us skanks and I screamed at them...Then 2 chicks were talking shit to me online which pissed me off...this one chick "EmoDarkSide13" wanted to kill me haha...I guess because I'm a smartass...which I am..Hmmm HIGHLIGHTS of my day... Hmm jacob sang to me..and jacob sang to me...Oh yeah and jacob sang for me..-nat- I want a lover I don't have to love I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk
When we first got there we didn't know WHAT the hell to do. I mean, it was our first warped tour and yea...anyways we walked around and we saw emilee diana and mia...then me and amanda heard matchbook and we hurried up and got in there..They were so awesome. Then we went and saw story of the year..kinda haha. Theeen after that me and amanda were just looking for the stage that Taking Back Sunday was going to play at. We found it at 2:00pm and we tried our hardest for 4 hours!! 4 hours!!!!!!! To get the the front. During those hours we saw New Found Glory, Tiger Army (they suck), and Al3...I was at the front for all of them sep NFG...That crowd is rough. But that just shows how much I love taking back sunday. I got kicked in the face, my hair pulled out, elbowed in the neck..chest..eye..ear..boob, knocked over but a guy helped me up a sec later which was awesome...Smashed to the point where to I couldn't beathe at all and almost puked, haha I didn't like the fact that the people behind you would just put there hand on your ass and keep it there...I was literally smashed between like 5 people and I was just stuck like that for a good 10 min. That sucked soo much. THEN TAKING BACK SUNDAY came on and I was in the front against the gate. It was amazing. I felt like I could touch Adam. I told everyone I was going to get close and I did!!!!! When "You know how I do" came on I fucking cried...only because that song means something to me and no one could understand it...Adam came right infront and looked right at me...haha I know that might not seem like a big deal to some people but that fucking means the world to me...I couldnt believe it was him...He's so fucking gorgeous..He's amazing...he's everything a guy should be. haha I'm a crazy weirdo stalker person I know...He's got his nose pierced...I never knew that. Anyways, it was just amazing..the fucking emotion he has when he sings is incredible...I hung out with this chick and her boyfriend since I lost amanda...and these 2 guys...one guy was trying to get me to the front and stuck up for me when this other guy was being a dick and that was awesome and the other guy was his friend and he was helping me out too. This guy was sucha fucking dick I wanted to hit him...Thank God for those 2 guys. But yeah the other guy kept on getting pushed back and people were getting infront of him and I was getting pissed because people are fucking rude so I turned around, pushed people out of the way with my feet and arms haha and helped this guy come back...He was pushed back again when taking back sunday was playing sooo I couldnt really help him. I mean, I could barely move...some how andrew got behind me...haha I dont know how but he did. we both were alone :-(...haha I'm a hardcore taking back sunday fan arent I andrew? WHO ELSE WOULD WAIT 4 HOURS LIKE I DID...haha well probably a couple people but o well. I"m just happy I got to see them and that I was so close. I found amanda at the tbs thingy..I guess she left because people kept pushing her down and falling on her which is shitty. Then the last band I saw was Sugarcult...We left and I couldnt find my dads care..well we found it but I didnt think it was his because no one was in the car AND I thought he had different rims...haha sooo we went to the very back and laid on the grass for like 30min. Then we walked around the parking lot and I get a call from my dad and can you believe that that WAS his car...I was so pissed at myself. This was a great day for me I got...2 shirtsa free hat3 free cds and 1 5$ cdI saw Jacob for a bit...I SAW ADAM LAZZARAomg...it was just great...haha hey amanda the guy in the parking lot...::dances towards me and next to me:: ::I dance back:: The guy says..."Haha good times oh yeah good times.." why would you do that to someone! haha... WHY CAN'T I FEEL ANYTHING FROM ANYONE OTHER THAN YOU!!!!

Then after I took her home we sat infront in her driveway and I was throwing rocks and making them hit the road...haha welllll lets just say I hit two cars :-D-nat-
Haha yes I am a polak...and theres nothing wrong with that!!! AnywaysI get a call at 12:30pm from Ashley saying they need another player for volleyball when she is like right down the block with the entire team... sooo I had to go to that even though I dont play volleyball. But I think I'm going to. The people on that team are so much nicer than people on cross country. Sooo yeah we played 4 games and thats about it...Tomorrow I think I'm going to Arods to hang out and watch them play...Jacob should be there so that should be awesome. THEN WARPED TOUR...I should be hanging out with Jacob and Amanda there...and then Sunday is losing streaks thingy and I'll probably hang out with Amanda and Jacob there too...FUN FUN FUN-nat-

It's not that I don't enjoy being smaller, because I do. I was enjoying getting back into my size 14 pants and thinking strongly about the 12s... then life stepped in.
I won't go into the holiday season, because I was doing OK with maintaining, even with 3 family birthdays and 3 Christmas celebrations to go to. Then Dad needed me down with him to attend to a health situation for a week starting 31 Dec -- the Assisted Living cooks sure knows how to get the carbs into a person -- so I stayed in a guest room there, and the food plus the stresses that go along with being away from home, hubby, work, etc got the best of me. I came home about January 8th, and have been craving "comfort food" since then. Oh, and then I was granted a "separation incentive" to leave my job of 22 years, which also means early retirement, so I only have about 15 more days of work, and this whole thing has been extremely stressful. :stars:
The positive side of this coin-of-many-sides is this: my final day at work is 27 Feb. From that day forward I can work on ME, since I have no idea what else I'm going to do with all of my free time! I'll get back on plan, dust off the WII and excercise bike, hopefully go for walks... and get back into the 14s, heading for the 12s. I think I even have some 10s hanging out in a box somewhere.
I will once again get into reading your other threads because I haven't even been lurking... I need your inspiration. I know I have your understanding. Thanks for being there, JBs -- I've missed you... :hiya:
:welcome: back and congrats on your upcoming retirement! Color me envious! This will be a fantastic chance to focus on you.
:welcome: back to the most supportive group of people you will ever find!
:console: So sorry about all the stress in your life. You did the right thing spending time with your Dad. Sometimes we just have to put the food worries aside and do the right thing for our families. I found that out when my sister was dying.
I was living at the hospital, sleeping by my sister's bed in the hospice ward every night. People brought food. Comfort food. And everyone was grateful and just ate what was there in the family living quarters. We all just had to be there for each other.
Hey! Say goodbye to stress! You are getting to retire! Maybe it is not the timing you wanted, but I'm here to tell you the possibilities are endless!
You will love it and you will be on track and in those 12s in no time!:hugs:
Welcome back LaceyLady your post sounds like mine a few weeks back. I hope it works out the way you want it to. It feels like the second time around for me was easier than the first. I'm able to wrap my head around the idea better and hope to reach my goal. We are in the same boat! See you around the board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly the most important is not that you went off track or gained weight but that you've already made the commitment to get back on track...that's the hardest part and you're already there.
Congrats on the retirement...I'm also quite envious Enjoy this new chapter in your life!
Sounds like you already have a plan to be back...and you will! Glad to "see" you posting again...and I know you will exceed your goals. :heart: Welcome back!!!
:welcome: back!
:welcome: back! It sounds like you have a good plan to work towards your goals!
Lacey Retirement is AWESOME. It took me awhile to actually get use to it. I went a little overboard.
I was volunteering at two places, I was never home! It was a fuller time job.:(
So I stopped one of the V jobs, which was the thing to do.
Happy retirement!
:welcome: BACK, and congrats on your upcoming retirement. Now you can relax and focus on *you*.:hugs:
Welcome back! It sounds like you are ready for this next chapter of your life. Don't worry, I am sure you will find plenty to do during retirement!
:welcome: back LL! You've had a lot to deal with, and I agree with Oceania, that the fact that you're determined to come back is your first major victory. Claim it! :high5:
Good luck and happy retirement.
I like the "re-boot" idea (SS) -- makes perfect sense!! And thanks to all of you for your positive comments. I'm starting to look more kindly on retirement, considering volunteering somewhere (1 place at a time E!) but I haven't looked into it too much yet. It's odd to think we will be able to sleep in until 6:45 or so, and HE can be to work by 8:00! DH told me last week that after he heads to work I will be able to go back to bed -- BACK to bed??? Who says I've got to get UP??!! :) My attitude is changing for the better. I LIKED where I was 2 months ago. I want it again. So, like with the brass rings, I'll be grabbing for all I'm worth, and in about 3 months -- just in time for summer and camping and all of that -- I'll be back at least close to where I want to be. I just need to repeat that to myself a few times a day!! Thanks all...

Welcome to the HOFBURG Silvesterball, the New Year's Eve highlight in the heart of Vienna.
This year's program will bring top-class performers from the Vienna State Opera, the Volksoper, big-name bands and orchestras, as well as catchy rhythms from waltz music to jazz to the former imperial winter residence. In addition to a spellbinding opening ceremony, you will be treated to an unforgettable midnight show against the backdrop of a spectacular firework display on Heldenplatz, the ringing of the Pummerin bell at St. Stephen's Cathedral, the traditional Blue Danube Waltz, and the popular public quadrille in the imperial staterooms of the world-famous Hofburg.
Savour the culinary delights that await you at the glamorous four-course gala dinner, the Viennese coffeehouse, the chill-out lounge and the various New Year's buffets and bars.
Celebrate a New Year's Eve brimming with fun and laughter, immerse yourself in Vienna's charming ball traditions and raise a champagne toast to the New Year with us.
New Year's Eve ball is once again being held under the patronage of Austrian President Dr. Heinz Fischer.
The HOFBURG Vienna team can't wait to see you in the Austrian capital.
What would the Viennese ball season be without the culinary highlights?
Choose between the fabulous four-course gala dinner included with a Grand Ticket, or the New Year's Eve buffet. Available with a Star Ticket, the buffet offers hot and cold food as well as typical Viennese ball specialities such as sausages and goulash soup at midnight.
The four-course gala dinner is served on beautiful porcelain by waiters in tails. Your meal will be accompanied by fine wines from Austria, and a glass of genuine French champagne to see in the New Year. The New Year's Eve gala dinner has been carefully crafted with outstanding attention to detail by Gerstner Catering:
Salmon tartare and tender avocado pieces
with lime crème fraiche, fresh herbs and edible flowers
Cream of arugula soup with roasted pine nuts
Main course
Sirloin of Austrian organic beef
with snow peas, sweet potato terrine and smoked Zweigelt sauce
Chocolate tartlets coated in gold flakes and decorated with stars,
candied lemon and citrus caramel
Petits Fours
Selection of Viennese confectionery
Grüner Veltliner Kremser Goldberg 2013
Winzer Krems, Kremstal valley
Zweigelt 2013 Kellermeister Privat
Winzer Krems, Kremstal valley
Like Viennese ballroom culture, the capital's coffeehouses are a special feature of the nation's heritage. They offer a unique atmosphere where people come for intellectual discussion, a chat over a cup of coffee or simply to watch the world go by. You can savour a delicious Melange with a slice of apple strudel or Guglhupf (bundt cake) as you listen to the melodies playing in our very own Viennese coffeehouse.
Our tip: Treat yourself to something special and take a slice of Vienna home with you. The humble Guglhupf, one of the nation's most popular cakes, has a long history and is the perfect souvenir of your time in the city.
Fantastic cocktails flow in the chill-out lounge and disco. All the classic mixes and champagne cocktails are available alongside a specially composed Silvesterball cocktail.
Your fabulous night at the ball
To ensure that you can enjoy your night at the ball to the max, Gerstner is offering a special box and table service. You can simply order your food and drinks online, and on the evening of the ball, the chosen delicacies and beverages will be ready and waiting for you. The advance booking period ends seven days before the ball. Online advance booking: www.gerstner.at/ballvorbestellung
Held in the middle of winter, the Silvesterball at the Hofburg Vienna brings a touch of spring to the world capital of waltz. The staterooms are transformed into a beautiful sea of flowers with giant ball-shaped bouquets in pastel tones. World-class soloists from the Vienna State Opera and Volksoper will treat ballgoers to a memorable bouquet of melodies in a whistlestop floral tour of the very best of international opera and operetta.
Carl Michael Ziehrer's Fächerpolonaise (fan polonaise) will provide the musical backdrop as the international debutantes from the Elmayer dance school file into the ballroom for the start of the formal opening ceremony.
After the Austrian national anthem and the Anthem of Europe, coloratura soprano Beate Ritter will sing the Frühlingsstimmenwalzer (Spring Moods Waltz) by the waltz king, Johann Strauss.
The opening ceremony will culminate with a romantic rendition of the Waltz of the Flowers from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovky's Nutcracker. Specially choreographed for the Silvesterball, it will be performed by soloists from the Vienna State Opera Ballet Association, with Alice Firenze and Eno Peci starring under the direction of choreographer Lukas Gaudernak.
Before the immortal words Alles Waltzer ring out, giving the debutantes their cue to leave the dance floor and opening the parquet up to all comers, we will be treated to a dance performance set to Johann Strauss' Pizzicato Polka.
Amongst the sounds of Champagne corks popping and glasses clinking, a countdown will run down the last few seconds of the year.
At midnight the Pummerin at St. Stephen's cathedral – the largest bell in Austria – will ring in the New Year. The fantastic firework display on Heldenplatz is sure to leave you lost for words. Next, we will all join the dancers of the Vienna State Opera Ballet Association for the legendary Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss to see in the New Year in classic style.
A series of spring-themed arias from well-known operas and operettas performed by soloists from the Vienna State opera and the Volksoper including Beate Ritter, Juliette Mars, Barbara Payha, Vincent Schirrmacher and Kip Wilborn will round out the spectacular midnight show, providing the perfect start to 2014.
Afterwards, ballgoers will be invited to step onto the dancefloor to join in the popular public quadrille, led by an instructor from the fêted Elmayer Dance School.
The ball night continues inside the Hofburg Vienna's stunning staterooms.
In the Festsaal and Zeremoniensaal the Divertimento Viennese ball orchestra (under the direction of Vinzenz Praxmarer), the Joe Hofbauer Quintett and the Salonorchester Ortner will play classic Viennese ballroom dance music alongside legendary hits from the roaring 20s and swinging 30s.
Other live bands such as Horns-n-Keys and the Ad Libitum Guitar Duo in the Rittersaal, the Lanner-Strauss Ensemble in the Geheimer Ratsstube, the Wiener Stehgeiger in the Foyer and at the top of the Grand Staircase will also be providing hot rhythms.
The repertoire will also feature famous Viennese salon music and Viennese classics. Exciting new arrangements of well-loved concert café pieces complete an evening brimming with musical surprises.
Meanwhile, live DJs will get the party started at the disco and chill-out lounge.

At Lava Lounge, parties settle into cushioned black chairs to share drags from single-, double-, or triple-hose hookahs. Thirty flavors of Starbuzz tobacco enchant palates with pomegranate and lemon-mint taste waves, while 15 hydro flavors replicate the relaxing experience sans tobacco. Patrons can sip turkish coffee or hot minty tea in between inhales or snack on simple Mediterranean fare such as kebabs, gyros, and rich hummus plates surrounded by petals of pita bread. Deep-crimson walls and petite red and white lights set an intimate mood as wispy threads of smoke waft through the air and puffing patrons practice blowing smoke inner tubes around one another.
Seven Yelpers give Cregeen's Irish Pub an average of 3.5 stars, and TripAdvisors rank it 11 out of 163 restaurants in North Little Rock. Eighty-seven percent of more than 200 Urbanspooners like the pub.
The cooks at Krome Billiards Sports Bar & Grill fry and flip a menu of burgers, sandwiches, and appetizers served amid a welcoming sea of pool and poker tables. A half-dozen spicy hot wings ($5.25) ignites taste bud forest fires easily quenched with cold cups of sweet tea or strawberry limeade, and the cheeseburger basket quickly extinguishes any lingering evidence of hunger with a 1/3-pound beef patty served with french fries or chips ($6). Texas toast embraces ground beef, grilled onions, cheese, and mayo in the comfort of the Krome Melt basket ($6.25) and chili-cheese dogs ($2.75) arrive fully loaded with favorite frank fixins and a standard AM/FM radio. Eight 7-foot Diamond billiards tables and a pair of 9-foot tables proffer hours of felted fun for practicing pool sharks, and a free texas hold 'em poker league allows competitive card shufflers to hone their craft seven days a week.
A waiter, hands full of fresh avocado, peppers, and tomatoes, approaches the table. He expertly slices and stirs the ingredients in a lava-stone bowl with the nimble precision of a seasoned chef. Along with whipping up fresh guacamole prepared tableside, Santo Coyote cooks also grill sizzling fajitas, bake spicy seafood specialties, and roll freshly made tortillas that have been lauded by the Arkansas Times at two locations, with one recently opened on Pleasant Ridge Road. Meanwhile, bartenders blend their staggering selection of more than 100 tequilas into specialty margaritas beneath the metal sun sculptures that adorn the walls.
The decorative photographs and hand-placed tiles in Bar Louie may emanate a cosmopolitan elegance, but, at the core, the bar persists as a local establishment known for its signature martinis. The Pom Peche and S'Mores martinis represent just a fraction of a libation list longer than Rapunzel's motorcade; this list also includes margaritas and mojitos, beer, and wine. The food menu fills space left after cocktails with traditional American eats, including the Louie Burger, topped with grilled onion, provolone cheese, and spicy giardiniera sauce, and beer-battered fish 'n' chips.
Mallard's Bar echoes the era of classic cocktails with its shaken and stirred elixirs, refined pub fare, and decadent 19-page cigar menu. Bartenders muddle fizzy flavors into Brandon's Gin Collins with fresh-squeezed lemon, simple syrup, and a topper of tonic and fruit ($8). Dozens of premium liquors ($8) can be used as props in British secret-agent costumes, and sultry glasses of red wines ($8–$10) seduce lips with jammy hints of cherry, plum, and blackberry. Set a savory base for libation-laced interludes with selections from the bar menu, such as Southern fried chicken tenders dressed in honey-mustard duds ($9.95) or a capriccio hamburger outfitted with a half-pound Angus patty and seasoned fries ($10.50).

Microsoft Settles With Google
Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG) shared some holiday cheer Thursday as they settled their litigation over former Microsoft executive Kai-fu Lee jumping ship to join Google.
In a tersely worded announcement, Microsoft said it has reached an agreement with rival Google and Lee settling the suit. The terms of the agreement are confidential, and all parties agreed to make no other statements to the media regarding it.
Microsoft would only say that "We are pleased with the terms of our settlement with Google and Dr. Lee." Google did not release a statement on the settlement and a spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.
Microsoft sued Google after Google announced in July that it was hiring Lee to head a new China research center. Google then countersued.The suit highlighted the bitter rivalry between Microsoft, the world's largest software maker, and Internet darling Google. During the proceedings, another Microsoft senior engineer told of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer throwing a chair and vowing to "kill Google." While Microsoft's sales have slowed and its stock has languished, Google has been basking in the glory of a skyrocketing stock price and soaring sales growth. Most recently, the foes competed fiercely for the search business of AOL, with Google ultimately emerging as the victor. Shares of Microsoft closed down 14 cents, or 0.5%, at $26.59 and fell 2 more cents in recent after-hours trading. Google shares climbed $5.71, or 1.3%, to close at $432.04; shares gained 26 cents, or 0.1%, to $432.30 in recent after-hours trading.

CoverGirl Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner Reviews
Good for over eye shadow, not good for naked eyes.I like this liner when I'm putting it over my eye shadow. It goes on easily, and if put over powder, lasts a long time, and stays dark the whole time. However, when it is put on bare skin, it runs like crazy. After just an hour even just a thin line of it travels up and coats my entire lid, and underneath my eye runs down and smudges in my lashes. — 1 year, 5 months agojohnna_dixon | 32 reviews
Best Black EyelinerThis is the best black eyeliner I've ever used. Its very dark which I like and goes on smooth! I don't use it on the top lid often cause in the summer it can melt and crease unless I use a primer and eyeshadow on top. Otherwise its perfect! I will continue to use this!! — 1 year, 6 months agolynnsbass | 23 reviews

THIS IS GOOD FOR INSIDE EYE LINERI recently purchased this in a four pack at Costco. I am always looking for a soft black eyeliner that I can use to line the inside of my eyes, but whenever I use a pencil and need to sharpen it...it breaks as I am trying to sharpen it and I end up sharpening half the pencil away and am left with all these pencil shavings! What a waste! I have eye liner tattooed on the outside of my eyes on the to...read morep and lower lid, so I just need something to line the inside after I apply my mascara, so while what the others who have reviewed this say is true about it not having a point, I don't NEED a point to line inside. As a matter of fact, a blunt end is much better for this, and this is PERFECT! I just bought four more (they were on sale) yesterday! It seems to be perfect for what I use it for, and best of all...NO SHARPENING! I sooo love that! I am completely and 100% happy with this! I have never used it on the "outside" of my eyes, so I can't comment on how it is for that, but if you need to line the inside and HATE having to sharpen your eyeliner/pencil shavings, THIS IS GREAT! I hope you give it a try! — 1 year, 6 months agoLinderloo | 14 reviews
EhhCoverGirl Perfect Point Plus eyeliner definitely is not one of my favorites. This is something I had to buy for my dance team and it does work well for stage make-up because it goes on really thick to begin with. Going on super thick is not something that I like for everyday use but, may be something over people like. Another con, in my opinion is that this rubs off easily and usually winds up ...read moreon the top of my eye lid as well by the end of the day. Re-doing and touch ups on makeup are not things I usually have time for so this is a real pain. The only color I have tried this in as black. It is a really great black, though. A lot of other brands make things that are off black and almost grey or blue, but this is not one of them! Another thing I like is that it is a twist up! This means there is absolutely no lost product, which you tend to get a lot of with pencils that you have to sharpen! However, when you get down to the end it still twists up, but you apply pressure the last bit just goes back in the barrel which is a royal pain. Overall, this is a pretty good product for how much you pay. It isn't something I would be willing to pay much more for, though. I think the best way to apply it is to do as thin of a line as you can, then take eye makeup remover on a cotton swab and make the line thinner. As for it getting on the top of my eyelid, the only thing I have been able to do so far is wear eye shadow that it does not stick to, otherwise just rub it off when it gets there. — 1 year, 10 months agoACClique | 12 reviews

LoveHonestly this eye liner is a staple in my makeup bag. Glides on easily, doesn't smudge and no sharpening required. I do use it as an eye liner base, put eye shadow on over it and then a different type of gel eye liner on top so I use other products but love the eye liner. I don't use the smudge part so I can't speak for that end, but the intensity of the color and long lasting formula is impressive for an eyeliner under $6. — 2 years, 2 months agokejones2 | 2 reviews

Didnt like itThis eyeliner was hard to apply, it did not glide on well at all. I found it really difficult, plus it did not stay on well at all. — 2 years, 2 months agomikenza | 58 reviews
One of My FavoritesI have yet to find a drugstore eyeliner that I like as much as this one. I have never had issues with it fading or running down my face, even if when I hit the gym after work. My only issue with this eyeliner is it does not last all day. After a full day of wear it sometimes smudges to the outer corner of my eye. Honestly though, this is easy enough to fix with a q-tip and touch-up application. Overall it is my favorite drugstore eyeliner and remains a constant in my makeup bag. — 2 years, 3 months agotarahmichelle | 49 reviews
OkThis eyeliner goes on really nice but within an hour its already running down my face. — 2 years, 5 months agotwitl | 2 reviews
Love it!This is my favorite eyeliner. I did away with pencils a long time ago and haven't regretted it for a minute. I use the espresso color. (I have fair skin and save the black for going out! Brown is way more natural-looking). I like this eyeliner because it goes on really smoothly and doesn't dry out right away so that the smudger really works! It helps the line look more natural, not line a distinct...read more line above your eye. That's my taste, anyway. Wear makeup to look like you're not really wearing makeup. That's what I believe in. It should just enhance your real features. Anyway, that's what this eyeliner does. The color is perfect, it goes on smoothly, blends well, and is a great price! The only reason I didn't give it 10 stars is because the other reviewers are right that it doesn't really stay pointed... The tip rounds off. It doesn't bother me at all though since you can just blend the edges. Overall, great eyeliner! Especially for the price! And I love that it comes with a smudger! — 2 years, 6 months agolemonjello | 47 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

(Updates with comment from economist in fourth paragraph.)
Nov. 24 (Bloomberg) -- The cost of goods leaving South African factories and mines rose 10.6 percent in October, less than economists forecast, giving the central bank room to keep its benchmark rate unchanged to support the economy's recovery.
Producer-price inflation accelerated from 10.5 percent in September, Pretoria-based Statistics South Africa said on its website today. The median estimate of 15 economists surveyed by Bloomberg was 11 percent. Prices fell 0.3 percent in the month.
The Reserve Bank has kept its benchmark lending rate unchanged at a 30-year low of 5.5 percent this year, even as prices pressures increased. The rand's 16 percent slump against the dollar in the six months through Oct. 31 is adding to producer costs. Consumer-price inflation reached the top of the central bank's 3 percent to 6 percent target range last month.
"It's a difficult balancing act because they are worried about the real economy as well," Johann Els, an economist at Old Mutual Investment Group in Cape Town, said in a phone interview. The central bank is unlikely to raise interest rates "unless the rand blows out towards 9 or 10 to the dollar."
The rand was at 8.5334 per dollar at 12:36 p.m. in Johannesburg from 8.5227 before the data was released and 8.5293 late yesterday. The yield on the R157 government bond, due 2015, fell 7 basis points, or 0.07 percentage points, to 6.97 percent today.
Rising oil prices and a weaker rand prompted the government to raise gasoline prices 3.5 percent last month, adding to producer costs.
The central bank will monitor price developments as it forecasts inflation to stay outside the target range until the fourth quarter of 2012, Governor Gill Marcus said on Nov. 22.
"In the current climate, we need to watch what's happening rather than respond to it," she said.

Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services has designated Providence Holy Cross MedicalCenter as one of 12 specialty centers for acute heart attack patients.
To receive this designation, emergency physicians, cardiologists and clinicians work directly with paramedics in the field as paramedics relay EKG readings showing that a patient is suffering a specific heart attack, known as a STEMI (ST-elevated myocardial infarction), that can permanently damage heart muscle without early intervention.
"As the northernmost STEMI Receiving Center in Los Angeles County, we are prepared to provide early intervention to heart attack patients in the Santa Clarita and North San Fernando Valleys," said Ara Tilkian, M.D., Medical Director of the STEMI Receiving Center at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center. "Our collaboration with paramedics in the field is vital in ensuring that these patients' lives are saved."
Paramedics now are required to bypass non-designated hospitals and take a heart attack victim to a designated STEMI receiving center, if that hospital is within a 30-minute drive, to ensure a quick intervention to save the patient's life and to reduce damage to the patient's heart muscle.
Under this new designation, all STEMI heart attack patients in Santa Clarita taken by ambulance are now taken to Providence Holy Cross Medical Center. Before 2007, these patients often were taken to another facility first before being transported to Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, which caused further delays in providing early intervention to open the patient's artery using angioplasty and thereby preserving heart muscle.
"Time is heart muscle,' said Michael Sarti, M.D., Medical Director of the Providence Holy Cross Emergency Department. "STEMI Receiving Centers help to reduce mortality and morbidity among Los Angeles County residents suffering from this severe form of heart attack by providing quick intervention

Can Male RNs get jobs in Maternity Nursing?
- 0Jan 9, '12 by delrepublica1776So anyway, I'm a guy in nursing school, and I'm currently 'undeclared' re: my track for this accelerated MSN program.
Of the tracks I could apply to at my school, I can choose from Adult Health, Public Health, Child Health, and Maternity.
Public Health's pretty interesting, but the words "Adult Health" will make me run for the hills in terror. Pathophysiology is the bane of my existence :/
Starting next week, I'll take my Maternity and Child Health courses. I've heard that the job market's tough for Child Health tracked grads, but it's relatively better for Maternity.
But they only hire women for Maternity nursing, right? Even if the track's administrative, the female patients obviously want a female maternity nurse?
- 2Jan 10, '12 by ashleyisawesome, BSNi know of 3 male rn staff nurses in maternity units in my hospital network alone.. plus 2 that recently did their preceptorship for NS in the maternity unit. its not impossible. it would be illegal to not hire you because you are a man. youd be surprised at how many women DONT care if their L&D nurse is a man. a lot of the OBGYNs are men, so why not the nurses. just be confident and act professional.
- 0Jan 10, '12 by angelalalaThere's a male midwife in my city. I'd be okay with it. . .there were no male RNs where I delivered, though.
- 1Jan 11, '12 by CupcakeChristineWhy not? You can be there when I deliver! The times are changing, I'm sure there is a job out there for you!
- 2Jan 14, '12 by caregiver1977I've had 5 children, and I think it would have been very hypocritical of me to accept my male OBGYN and frown upon a male RN in the maternity ward.
- 0Jan 14, '12 by TheCommuter, ASN, RN Senior ModeratorWhen I was completing my clinical rotations in L&D/Postpartum at a Los Angeles area hospital back in 2005, one of the RNs who worked in the L&D department was a man. According to the other staff members there, none of the birthing mothers has ever rejected him or requested another nurse.
- 0Jan 15, '12 by justmeinlvi am a male nurse and i also would love to be a labor nurse. if you want to do it go for it!

Questioning the security of a closed FairPlay
Ken Fisher at Ars Technica thinks something smells fishy about Steve Jobs's claims that licensing a DRM system will lead to its defeat. By comparing the security track records of iTunes's FairPlay and Microsoft's rival and heavily-licensed PlaysForSure, Ken might also have a good point. As history goes, FairPlay has been cracked four times (including Real's own hack for their store), while PlaysForSure has suffered only one true crack in its time. Perhaps more significant than either of these numbers, however, is that none of these DRM breaches were the result of secrets being shared from the inside; they apparently were all spearheaded by creatives from the community who might not hold digital rights management in the highest of regards.
Of course, the issue isn't nearly this cut and dry. The iTunes Store's 800-pound gorilla-like popularity can help explain its greater number of breaches (however: wouldn't one be more interested in cracking the store that offers unlimited music via subscription?). In the end, Ken settles on revisiting the possibility of licensing DRM. Since Jobs already let the 'get rid of DRM' cat out of the bag, however, I'm thinking the public isn't going to put the idea to rest anytime soon.

Hispanic women in Illinois fare worse than others on many health measures, and Northwestern University doctors are trying a new tactic to address the problem.
This week, they're launching a Spanish-language version of a women's health registry website to encourage Hispanic women to participate in local medical research.
Cardiovascular disease, obesity and new AIDS cases disproportionately affect Hispanic women in Illinois.
Candace Tingen, research programs director at Northwestern's Institute of Women's Health Research, says including Hispanic women in research is important to help explain the disparities.
For more information on the Spanish-language registry, go to https://whr.northwestern.edu/es.

Blockbuster Mailbag: What Happens to Shareholders?
(Clarification: If Blockbuster receives a high enough bid there could be some proceeds left for shareholders.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Blockbuster (BLOAQ.PK), it seems is safe from liquidation, after a court decided last week the movie rental chain can proceed with an auction to sell the company.
But this move has left shareholders wondering: what happens to those investors who are still holding onto Blockbuster's pink sheets?
Since TheStreet has received several comments regarding this question, here's a special edition of Retail Stock Mailbag. Your questions and comments are appreciated, so keep e-mailing or Tweeting.Clint McNichol wrote: "I am a budding individual investor and was wondering if you could tell me how the common shareholders are affected? If Blockbuster has the auction scheduled for April will common shareholders benefit at all? And why are the shares still traded?" Carrie also e-mailed: "Reading your article on Blockbuster, what does this all mean to the shareholders of the pink sheet shares of the stock?" Louis Arocho voices the same concern: "I just read your article on Blockbuster. I'm sorry for my amateur question, but if blockbuster sells what will happen with the common stock holders?" Right now, if the offer stays at $290 million, shareholders will likely get nothing. Pink sheets of Blockbuster rallied nearly 30% on Friday to close at 14 cents, and this could really be the last chance for investors to cut their losses and run. >>Blockbuster Timeline: From Opening to Closing Credits The "stalking horse" bid of $290 million Blockbuster received from Cobalt Video, a limited liability company formed by funds managed by Monarch Alternative Capital, Owl Creek Asset Management, Stonehill Capital Management and Värde Partners, will serve as an opening for the auction, which is expected to be held next month. In order for shareholders to receive anything the final bid would have to be significantly higher.

I asked a retail owner friend of mine the other day how long she spent on 'paperwork' in her three salons and she reckoned it was close-on a day a week. She told me that she would have to laboriously plough through Excel spreadsheets and various notepads for hours every week diligently copying the nightly information from store to head office. I was telling her then that, with the right apps, she could run her entire business from her smartphone and cut her 'paperwork' time in half. Bizimply is the perfect app to illustrate that.

Up until the last few years, the whole business of human resources (or HR) has proved to be a rather fractured one in the business world. Sure, the big businesses have had it nailed down for a while but companies with a limited budget tended to either have one person with a spreadsheet or the work was covered by several different departments. Unless its a pretty small organization, it's rare to see the same people who hire and fire staff involved in staff performance reporting and getting the best out of your workers.
