Third-worst: 1955 BMW Isetta
Perhaps you did not expect to find any BMW products on this list. But BMW "built the atrocious, single-cylinder, 12-hp, one-door Isetta for 7 years," Edumunds.com writes. "The whole car was a crumple zone."
Ranked as the third-worst car ever, the Isetta was in the running for worst ever. "It's such a ridiculous automobile," Oldham says. "It has one door, five horsepower and is very narrow in back, almost like a three-wheeler. We can't understand why anyone would want one."
In particular, Oldham says, he cannot understand why the Isetta has become a collector's item that sells for around $50,000.Historically, the car reflects an effort by a German manufacturer to get back on its feet after World War II. "Fuel was hard to come in Germany at that time, and they made a very small, very economical car," Oldham says.

(SOLVED) Enabling SSL redirects to the first website using SSL
Debian 6 Squeeze - ISPConfig 3 - Postfix, Dovecot, Apache2, Bind, Horde 5
G'day guys,
I have multiple websites hosted on this VPS. Now I have never had an issue due to nobody ever wanted SSL access on their website. They do now.
For example I have the following:
http://example.com goes to the right folder
https://example.com goes to the same
http://example.com.au goes to a different but right folder
https://example.com.au goes to https://example.com
Now I'm sure that its something to do with mod_rewrite but where I don't even know where to start looking.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated
The ssl protocol is IP based, so if you share the IP address of a sll site with other non ssl sites, all requests to thes other sites were redirected to the ssl site. So this is normal and not a issue with mod_rewrite.
There are two options:
1) Use a dedicated (different) IP address for the ssl site.
b) Add rewrite rules to the ssl vhost that redirect all https requests that are not for the sl site to the http version of the domain were the requests are for. I dont have a redirect code for this at hand, but I guess you should be able to find one with google or maybe someone else has one already and can post it here.
Thanks for the response Till,
So with anyone who hosts on a VPS they need to purchase an external IP for each domain that uses SSL?
As for the rewrite would have to be added to the default website? In ISPConfig?
What is the best practice here? Purchase separate IP's?
Is there a way to mark threads as solved ?? this will help people searching the forums.

Works very well, and it has increased our sign-ups radically in the past months.
However, it's not entirely spambot proof it seems, as we have had some weird emails signing up and domains that are usually not related to the type of content we serve. Would be good to add an optional captcha or so.

This is a great plugin, but the link to update your profile if someone is already subscribed is broken. Not sure if it is something on my end or mailchimps? :/

I found that the reason my update your profile link isn't working is that the url adds an apostrophe, which I can't figure out how to not include that since I can't edit the plugin.

Minty the Candy Cane! One of My Favorite Holiday Songs! [Video]
What! You don't know Minty the Candy Cane? Well let me introduce you!
What! You don't know Minty the Candy Cane? Well let me introduce you!
These students try to see if the mistletoe tradition is still alive! Yes, someone gets slapped.
I love a good Christmas prank, especially when it's all in good fun. Watch this fake snowman scare people who pass by.
The Christmas season can be one of great joy, but for those facing a difficult time because of finances, the holiday season can be one of heavy hearts and despair. That's why a few years ago, we started A Christmas Act of Kindness.
Benny's Pawn Shop and Big Brothers and Big Sisters are teaming up to donate meals to families in need.
What happened to that whole goodwill toward man thing?
As happy as the holidays can make us, they can also stress us out for months afterwards if we're not careful with how we spend. Here are a few mistakes to avoid making this holiday season that your wallet will thank you for.
On Christmas morning, there's nothing worse than getting a bad reaction to one of your presents. This is especially prevalent among the younger crowd, particularly those under age 12. Why? Well, the kiddos don't necessarily have an understanding of faking appreciation and re-gifting later, so it just comes off as bratty behavior.
The holiday season isn't just a time for good tidings and spreading cheer, it's also a month-long occasion where frustration builds to a point of near-explosion. And lucky for Conan O'Brien, he's discovered a perfect way to unleash those irritations unto the holiday that makes us all crazy, stressed and maybe a little bit thankful -- beating the heck out of everything Christmas with a slo-mo camera.
Unfortunately for us, we don't have a toy like that

Star Wars games are 66 percent off on Steam
Even if you aren't normally one to celebrate Star Wars Day, you can benefit from May 4 with a nice Star Wars franchise weekend deal on Steam marking titles 66 percent off.
Since most of these games are budget-priced to begin with, that kind of discount pushes many of them into "I can fund this by selling Steam Trading Cards" territory. Which is just the best.

I not a huge proponent of whining. While I think it has its place every now and again as a means of venting, too much of it is a sure way to drive people away. So I'll be brief - I just endured 48 hours of chronic pain that even Vicodin wouldn't relieve. In an effort to distract myself at 3:30 in the morning I was surfing through SP, reading blogs, motivational spark pages, articles, etc.
All of a sudden, it hit me. I'm going to be 50 this August. That means in just 4 months! I have no idea what I weigh right now since I haven't wanted to weigh myself with a cast on, but I think I'm pretty close to the same number I've been maintaining for the past year... which is just about halfway to my ultimate goal. It only took me 4 months to lose the first half of my excess weight, why not take the next 4 months to lose the remaining half?
Sure, there are challenges: I'm on bed rest; I'll have to start walking with only partial weight bearing and gradually rehabilitate; I'm starting a job with the Census bureau (temporary) that will take up 40 hours a week and I'm not used to working full-time... BUT... surely I can work towards that goal, right?
I think the revelation I had was that I could continue to maintain, or I could start moving towards my weight loss goal at the same time that I move towards my recovery goal.
No real news flash there, but at 3:30 in the morning, it just clicked.
Now I just need to hang onto that!
Today marks the 1 month mark since my foot surgery; since its 1:35 in the morning, obviously I'm not sleeping much yet but I do feel a lot better than I did 2-3 weeks ago. I got my 3rd cast on yesterday and it is the best one so far, at least as far as casts go LOL.
This morning I had my son take me to Sam's Club before they opened to the public (business hours). I went to buy a walker with a seat on it, thinking maybe I could return my knee walker and use this one instead... since I have another surgery in my future (to repair my tendon) owning vs. renting could save me a lot of money. Unfortunately, I found it wasn't as easy to get around on so I'm going to keep renting. The other thing I realized was that I am not yet strong enough to start doing things. I'm supposed to be on bed rest for 2 more weeks but I've always been the type to push my limits a bit... unfortunately, my 30 minute outing wiped me out for the next 5 hours! How in the world did I loose so much stamina in 4 weeks???!!??
I have thought about doing some bed exercises but other than moving enough to prevent blood clots I find I just don't have the motivation or the energy to push myself. I hope that taking the time off to heal properly will serve me well once I do start working out again. In the meantime, I have realized that all this inactivity has stolen my mojo! Its so hard to get motivated to do anything -- pay bills, return phone calls, post on the boards -- I'm not feeling depressed (although I admittedly was a few weeks ago) but I do feel like I'm stagnating here. I'm realizing that this recovery is going to be more challenging than I originally thought - I not only have to deal with the challenges of my surgery, but there is the total loss of energy, muscle tone, and mindset that I must re-establish. When I saw my foot yesterday it was still red and swollen, bruised, and raw around the stitches. I guess I thought that cast would come off and it would look nearly normal...
My Sparkfriends on the daily chat and the Silver Spies have been keeping me going. I know I'm not posting, but I want to assure you that I am checking up on you guys . That helps me to feel like I am still connected, and helps me to keep moving forward to my goal of running again one day. Thank you!
Today is the 17th day after my surgery, significant because it was my first post-op visit to the Doctors. My monster cast came off today and was replaced by a much smaller, albeit tighter, cast. My daughter drove me to the appointment and helped me out, and acted as my photographer (so blame her if the pictures freak you out!)
Not long after arriving we were taken back to the "Cast Room" and Rosa, the doctor's assistant, started removing the tape and stocking off the top of my cast. She then returned with a saw and told me not to worry, the saw worked on vibrations and wouldn't cut me -- good thing she explained that because I was a little freaked out by the thought of her sawing on my leg! She cut the fiberglass cast from my knee down to my ankle and then from my toes to my ankle on both sides of my leg and then just pried the cut section off, like lifting a stuck lid off a pot. I held my breath, not sure what I would see... which was totally unnecessary, since all I saw was a ton of cotton wrapped in gauze. Rosa started cutting the gauze away, then the cotton, layer by layer, opening the layers up like a book, until she got down to my leg. As she pried the sides of the cast away I lifted my foot out. My foot itself was still wrapped in yet more gauze, which she then proceeded to remove. I have to admit, I got a little green around the gills when I saw all the stitches and the pin sticking out of my foot... I had to lie down and look away, and practice my Lamaze breathing! I'm including some pictures below since some people are interested, but if you're like me and they make you sick rest assured that they will be "bracketed" by simple pictures of my casts and you can quickly scroll past them without looking...
Unfortunately, right about the time I was getting queasy Rosa left and told me the uber-doc would be in to recast me shortly... wrong. I figured I might as well take advantage of the cast-free time and had brought my home scale with me... I hopped onto it and weighed myself!! I am up 2.4 lbs over my low weight, which is OK by me since this was after breakfast and while fully clothed! Almost 40 minutes later uber-doc did finally come in said everything looks very good, and proceeded to speak to my daughter about her studies and her time in China. He was thrilled to be able to speak to her in Chinese and have her reply. Most of the new casting was done with me lying on my stomach, away from the action, so the pictures helped me to understand what was done.
Phase 2 will now consist of more of the same... house arrest, toes above nose, no weight bearing, etc. for another 4 weeks. Then the pin comes out and I get a walking boot and crutches! My foot swelled up a bit in the time I was cast-free and that has made the rest of today rather unpleasant, but I'm hoping it will be better by tomorrow. The new cast is also a little tight just below my calf and if that discomfort persists i'll have to ask him to redo it...
OK - now for the pictures... I will put a break in between the cast shots and the pics of my foot, so that you can skip the graphic ones!
The cut section will lift away like the tongue of a ski boot:
Graphic pictures, followed by more cast shots:
End of graphic pictures
The new cast:
Most everyone I know here on SP already knows that I have had my surgery. I've even posted graphic pics on FB, inspired in part by LIGHTNINGRUNNER's blogs and pics about her surgery. I've just been a bit slow at writing this blog, wondering whether or not I should even bother. In the end I've decided to do it; mostly for myself, so that I can have an outlet for my feelings as well as a record of what I'm going through.
It's 3 am and I've had about an hour's sleep tonight. Night time is the hardest for me... I get tired but the pain I feel is always worst at night. Or maybe its just that I'm able to distract myself during the day but at night I'm alone and have to deal with it more? I'm pretty good at managing pain, having had more than my share over the years... I've suffered from migraines, back spasms, torn muscles, dislocated kneecap, torn tendons, tendonitis, bursitis and assorted broken bones... but I've tried to never let those things stop me from my day to day life, or from chasing my athletic goals. This past year alone, while injured with fairly significant injuries I've run 2 marathons, 5 half marathons, 1 duathlon and 1 triathlon. Stupid? Probably. Determined? Definitely. Which makes me frustrated that the pain I feel now is interfering so much with my sleep. But enough complaining, I really set out to document what I've gone through, and to distract myself from my discomfort and insomnia.
I have torn my peroneal tendons in my left foot. As I wrote in earlier blogs, I decided to correct the alignment of my foot before I proceed with repairing the tendons - as my surgeon said, you don't put new tires on the car without having an alignment done, right? This surgery required cutting a wedge out of the bone in my heel in order to straighten it (it was strongly curved inward toward my other foot) and then cutting a bone in my big toe in order to lift it from a downward angle. The final step was cutting all of the soft tissue in my arch (tendons and ligaments) in order to flatten my arch a bit. My condition stems from being born with a club foot that was only partially corrected as a child.
I showed up at 6 am the morning of surgery at the doctor's private surgery center (of course, not covered by insurance!). The nurses were great, very calming, which was good, since I was a bit nervous. They took me back to a pre-op/post-op room, with about 8 beds and curtains between them. A few other patients were there as well getting prepped for their surgeries. I changed into a gown and they gave me a compression stocking for my other leg, which I needed help getting on. Man, was that snug! Wish I could run in that, it felt better than my compression socks... They started a saline IV and gave me a pill to minimize acid reflux, which I guess is a common side effect of anesthesia (who knew?). An aide washed my foot and leg up to my knee with a betadine scrub and then the anesthesiologist came in to talk to me. I met my surgical nurse, a kind woman named Melissa, and then the uber-doc arrived. Would you believe the first thing he asks me is whether or not the minivan in the parking lot which is for sale is mine? It was, and he starts talking to me about buying it! I told him I'd give him the price only after the surgery, provided all went well, which was good for a laugh.
He went over the details of the procedure and then marked my leg with his initials and a smiley face (was that supposed to make me feel better?). He left to get ready and the anesthesiologist gave me a nerve blocking shot just above my knee, which he said would keep me pain free for about 18 hours. I said good bye to my husband and Melissa wheeled me into the OR. My first thought was that it was freezing in there... I asked Melissa how she could stand it, and she told me they would keep a heated blanket on me during the surgery. The anesthesiologist came in and told me what he'd be doing as the nurses strapped my arms out from my sides (like in lateral shoulder raises, hehe). I remember that as soon as they did that I had an itch... luckily they let me free long enough to scratch it. We chatted a bit as they were setting all this up, but then they told me soon they would see my eyes get glassy... I don't really remember anything else, so I must have gone out pretty quickly. No counting to 10 or anything like that, just chatting and then... the recovery room.
I remember waking up from what felt like a dream... or being underwater (but without any panic)... just that feeling that I knew my thoughts were jumbled and my eyes were closed, but I really needed to try to focus and open my eyes. I could feel an oxygen mask over my nose and mouth, but I had been told that would be there so it didn't concern me. I shook the cobwebs out of my head and tried to take inventory of my body parts and my surroundings. Before a nurse could come over I realized I was in the same curtained area as I had been in pre-op, I wasn't freezing anymore, and I wasn't in any pain. I looked down at my foot and saw the biggest cast I have ever seen in my life:
(Obviously this picture was taken once I got home)
The surgeon and my husband came in and I was told that everything went very well. Once the doctor left my husband helped me get dressed and the nurses reviewed my post-op instructions one more time, and then they wheeled me out to the car.
Here are the pictures I posted on FB, taken in the OR:
My heel and arch, before:
My heel and arch after (the screws are permanent):
My forefoot before (my big toe is angled because my foot actually is turned inward and downward):
My forefoot after (the pin will be removed after 6 weeks):
My arch, after:
I was instructed to keep my foot elevated above my head ("toes above my nose" as the uber-doc put it) for 6 weeks, even when sleeping. Since my bedroom is upstairs and the doctor did not want me climbing any stairs my husband set up a bed for me in our family room. I had ordered a knee-walker instead of crutches, which arrived the day of surgery and allows me to get around but not climb stairs(also not covered by insurance, but at least its a rental). www.roll-a-bout.com/ The doctor was worried that my neck and shoulders would suffer if I had to use crutches for six weeks (due to arthritis and disk problems) and I'm glad I listened to him.
So here I am, 2 weeks post-op; I'm managing my pain most of the day but not as well at night; I'm able to get to the bathroom on my own, and I can bathe and dress myself. I can get food and drink, but I can't remain vertical for more than a few minutes at a time because I can feel my foot swelling rapidly in the cast. Swelling = pain, so elevating it is a must. All in all, not too bad. On Monday I get to go back to the the doctor and get this monstrous cast removed. They will replace it with a smaller one for the next 4 weeks. Still housebound, but at least it will be stage 2!
I'm sorry if all this bored you but I've managed to kill an hour writing it, and it sufficiently distracted me for most of that time. This was, in the end, just for me.
This week has been one of the more stressful weeks in a month of stressful weeks. I don't want to have a pity party of one, but sometimes life is complicated and sometimes its simple and joyous, and lately I've had a lot of the former and far less of the latter!
The thing I noticed tonight is that in spite of being on the verge of tears multiple times today AND having to bite my tongue rather than start a tirade that might not end, for the first time in a loooong time I didn't eat to cope. Wow. Let me say that again - I didn't stuff my face to stuff my feelings. Not that I didn't want to, believe me, I did. But I recognized that desire for what it really was and I chose not to act on it. That is growth. That is change. That is the miracle of SP.
I read Trainer James' blog today; I thought he wrote it for me. I read my friends' posts and thought about their problems, thereby getting out of my own head for a few minutes. I got words of encouragement from people I love (both at home and here!) and I got flowers, which made me smile.
You know what? I may not be able to erase my feelings just by wishing them away, but I don't have to pretend to erase them with spaghetti either.
I'm going to go relax with my family instead.

Tunisia extradited the former Libyan Prime Minister Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi, detained since the end of September in the country, to neighboring Libya, Bachir al-Sid, his lawyer, said today by phone.
Al-Mahmoudi was received by Libyan authorities and was being held in a prison belonging to the Justice Ministry and under the supervision of the judiciary police, Libyan Prime Minister Abdelrahim El Keib said today at a press conference.
Adnan Mnasser, a spokesman for the presidency, earlier said by phone that "the president did not sign the decree of delivery." Tunisian Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali had said that the extradition was not conditional on the signature of the president.

(NOTE - my sequel to this blog post is here. Episode 2 - The Comments Strike Back.)
First of all, I have to say that the instant I saw Katy Perry performing on the AMA's (which as a doctor, I would now have to call Against Medical Advice), I felt I got slapped by my TV. As an Asian American, I was appalled.
And then I knew the second strike was coming. I checked Twitter, again Against Medical Advice. Of course, there was a debate raging, and I quickly found that we "complainers" had been branded as "PC."
It's fine for everyone to have their own opinion. However, upon matters of race—etiquette and empathy demand that we listen seriously to how members of that race feel about the situation before mouthing off.

Rahimi, Maryam (2009) Design Of Mems Inductor And Varactor For Low Noise Voltage Controlled Oscillators. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) technology has been used to develop high quality factor (Q), low cost and low power consumption circuit blocks in RF communication systems. This research focuses on the design of high-performance MEMS inductor and varactor for use in Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) voltage controlled oscillators (VCO) operating at 2.4 GHz. The air suspended inductor has been designed using MEMS technology to reduce the resistive loss and the substrate loss. Lowresistivity material has been used. A MEMS two-gap tunable capacitor, using two parallel plates (one fixed and one movable), has been designed. The capacitance can be varied by applying low voltage to the movable plate. The pull-in voltage has been optimized to achieve low phase noise, low power consumption, and a wide frequency tuning range for VCO. The MEMS inductor and MEMS capacitor have been used in the design of VCO. The inductor has been modeled with a physical, equivalent two-port model known as Yue's model to compute the parameters and Q factor of the inductor. The designed inductor has a Q factor of 27 and the inductance is about 2.87nH at 2.4GHz. The capacitor has a value of 2.04 pF capacitance and Q factor of 40 at 2.4 GHz. The proposed MEMS inductor and varactor has been used in simulation of VCO to determine the effect of high Q factor on the VCO phase noise. The active part of the circuit has been designed using CMOS. Based on the simulation, low phase noise and low power consumption have been obtained simultaneously. The results of - 117.7 dBc/Hz at 1 00 KHz and 11m W have been achieved for phase noise and power consumption of VCO respectively.

Shale is my all-time favorite MAC Eyeshadow. I'm NW10, and Shale is beautiful for my skin tone. It's what I hoped Satin Taupe would be (after hearing all the raves for Satin Taupe for years). Don't get me wrong, I like Satin Taupe, but Shale is just so flattering and lovely. It's a purple gray shade, as others have said, but there is something taupish about it on me. I actually think of it as a purplish taupe. That is how it wears on me. It's great shade for work or can be applied more intensely for night. The discontinued Chanel Vega (also a purpley taupe) was one of my favorite shadows, and this kind of reminds me of it. If you are fair and cool toned, please check out Shale. I LOVE it and will definitely repurchase.

This is a purpill/grey eyeshadow. you can use it lightly or build it up for a darker color. I have hazel eyes and on me it looks more purpill than greyish. but i love the color.i wanted something for my crease for daylook and it looks great.i build it on for nights. the packaging is the usual MAC ones

I feel like I must have gotten a bad pan but this color sucks! it barely shows up- awful color pay off no matter how much i rub my brush in the pan to pick up product! it looked pretty in the pan and I went to buy it after reading the reviews here but it was a huge waste of money! I have other MAC eyeshadows and there is a huge difference in this one's quality compared to all the others I own.
Update- so I scraped the surface of the pan to see if maybe the top had been sealed somehow and interfered with the color pay off- and, it worked! the color definitely shows up now. Even then though, its ok but not great. the color is a gray-lavender-ish type shade but once on it loks kinds dull. I can make it work with shades of gray, blue or purple but I'm not a huge fan.

I love Shale. I'm NC15/NW20 with yellow undertones and green eyes, and it really makes my green eyes pop. Not as much as Nocturnelle, but sometimes, I don't like to wear really bright purples, so this color is perfect for me when I want some more neutral colors.
My only compliant is that you really have to pack on the color because it goes on pretty sheer.
But overall, this is becoming one of my favs.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Combination, Fair Hair: Blond Eyes: Blue
I love this shadow! I actually used to hate it, because I thought it was so unpigmented. It is when swatched, but applied to the eye, it looks like a subtle beautiful purple color. I am always drawn to purple-gray colors when I'm in the MAC store, and I always pick this one up, look at that back, then realize that I already have it! I wear this all the time now, and it does work as an everyday eyelid, or crease color. A more shimmery version of this is the limited edition Hypnotizing eye shadow, which I own as well. Worn together, (with Hypnotizing on the lid and Shale on the crease) it becomes a beautiful purple smokey eye that is also very wearable. I do not think that this is the color of a bruise, but just a pretty, subtle, gray toned purple.

I love makeup but don't enjoy looking heavily made-up. For me this is a perfect product. Although it's purple, it's a very natural looking purple that looks nice with brown or taupe. I like using it all over my lids with Cork (medium, slightly reddish brown) in the crease and outer V. Perfect daytime smoky eye.
If your eyeshadow collection is ridiculously neutral because you're hesitant to start using color, this is a perfect baby step.

Shale (Satin finish) looked so pretty in the pan but, like the previous poster pointed out, I was having a hard time getting it to show up well or to show up in a flattering way. I knew it was highly rated here at MUA so came to look at some of the glowing reviews to see if I could get some pointers. And did I ever.....I found that a lot of people paired this with Vex eyeshadow, which I also have (and was a bit disappointed with). I gave it a try and - BAM - both shadows worked so well together and each one looked so much better all of a sudden. It has become my favourite way to wear Shale and something about the Vex keeps the Shale from looking so much like a bruised or black eye, which I notice a few reviewers have complained about when they've tried to use this shadow. In fact, the tip was so good that I also tried it with MAC's Memorabilia (a matte purple shadow) and Vex works great with that too!

LOVE this color! for those of you who cant get any color out of this or its chalky for... get the end of a makeup brush, one with a sharp ridge and scrape the top of the shadow a tiny bit til it starts flaking off. i used the "shavings" off that to put shadow on my lid and for some reason ever since ive scraped off the top layer in that one spot the shadow comes out smooth and pigmented. No idea why, its the only MAC shadow I've ever had a problem with pigmentation or chalkiness but thats the trick. I was SO dissapoitned when I got it because honestly it was way worse than cheapo CG or Maybelline shadows and I hate those brands because they are so chalky. I could seriously get no color on the brush or my lid it was awful but after this I love the shadow just as much as i thought i would. perfect with jest. makes my blue eyes POP with jest and black liner.

Pregnancy Symptoms: Do Dads-to-Be Experience Hormonal Changes?
I recently read that expecting dads also go through hormonal changes. Is this true?Question:
Peg Plumbo CNM
Peg Plumbo has been a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) since 1976. She has assisted at over 1,000 births and currently teaches in the... Read more
For centuries, documentation has existed of a syndrome of empathetic response to the stress, pain or sensations of others. The French have a term for this which we have adopted called "couvade." Even the journals of explorer Marco Polo discuss this phenomenon. In its simplest manifestations, we have all experienced some slight physical response, even pain, when we witness a friend hit his finger with a hammer or hear someone relate a tragic incident. Studies have actually measured stress responses and hormonal changes in research participants as they watch videos of traumatic events.
People who care for pregnant women have observed husbands and partners experience a range of pains and discomforts similar to those experienced by the pregnant and laboring woman. Nursing literature is full of such studies. Anthropologists have observed and recorded numerous cultures in which much attention is directed toward the father after his "ordeal" of "giving birth". He may actually vocalize feelings of pain and anxiety at the same time the mother is giving birth. mimic facial expressions and even "push" during second stage labor.
In my practice, I have seen fathers gain the same amount of weight as their partners, experience nausea and constipation and even develop hemorrhoids.
Recently researchers at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada have demonstrated that fathers-to-be undergo hormonal changes as the birth of their child approaches. The researchers found that men's testosterone production leveled off significantly in the three weeks preceding the delivery of their child, then increased markedly after the birth. Estrogen production was significantly higher in fathers-to-be than in the control group while the levels of cortisol were lower in soon-to-be fathers.
This may be an adaptive response to the decreased need and desire to have sexual relations just prior to birth as well as the decreased desire and need to "fight or flee" just prior to birth.
The researchers point out that hormone levels are not predictive of fathering behavior and there is no "normal level" of paternal hormone change. This is, however, the first time that such alteration in hormone levels has been well documented. Further study is needed to see if a similar response occurs in non-biological fathers.
So it seems as though there may be a physiological basis for the couvade syndrome and researchers need to study this phenomenon more fully. In the meantime, it makes for some interesting observation around the refrigerator.Answer:

Tell us about your business.
My name is Marsha T. Pipher and for the past 17 years, I have been a professional managing manicurist in prestigious spas around Northeastern Ohio. With my past experience, I was motivated and delighted to establish my own nail spa, Spa Parfairé, which means 'to perfect' or 'to complete' in French. My clients tell me that I am a perfectionist when I am servicing them, so I decided to showcase that behavior by creating a spa that will enhance their beauty by using "crème de la crème" products and techniques. I enjoy servicing my clients because I learn and become inspired by them everyday. I love what I do, not just because of its flexibility, but [because] it gives me a sense of taking care of someone and teaching them how to feel better about themselves. I believe in using excellent, top-notch, and natural products such as OPI, CND, Essie, SpaRitual, Phytocéane, Fléurs, Aveda, and Crabtree & Evelyn.
What is one of your signature services? How is it performed?
My signature service would be my spa pedicures. [I perform] the signature pedicure by [submerging] the client's feet...into a warm aromatic bath. [I then] shape toenails, remove loose cuticles, soften calluses, and exfoliate away dry skin. [I rehydrate]...skin, [give a] soothing calf and foot massage, and [apply] warm booties to penetrate emollients into their skin. [I] finish with their choice of OPI, Essie, or SpaRitual nail lacquer.
What steps do you take to make your clients feel at ease?
I like catering to my clients by making them feel comfortable during their service time. I believe in having a quiet, serene setting. I stimulate their five senses by playing relaxing music; having warm, soothing touches; aromatherapy scents; a healthy beverage of their choice; and creating a calm and beautiful atmosphere for them to view. I also try to remember interesting and unusual facts about my clients—lifestyle, career, personal life, hobbies—in order to make their service more enjoyable and personable.

When it comes to hair, Cherise Smith has seen it all. Armed with a certification in Cosmetology Management and a slew of Design Essentials products, she goes to work relaxing hair, restoring vitality to overworked and chemically treated hair, or sculpting statement hair-dos designed to grab attention. The crown jewel of the service menu, though, may be hair weaving. Drawing on more than a decade of experience, she seamlessly works strands into the existing hair to create luxurious, flowing tresses.

Brianna Thomas is masterful with polish brush, and the proof's in the pictures. This online gallery showcases her prowess with single-color application, as well many of her past custom nail designs.

Candles flicker inside the marble fireplace, sending droplets of light into the 1920s colonial revival?style home that houses Quintana?s Barber & Dream Spa. Hardwood floors and tan leather seating compose a warm color palette, and WiFi?installed by the ghost of the original architect?keeps busy guests connected. After appointment reminders land in their email inboxes, clients step into the earth-toned sanctuary for services ranging from basic mani-pedis and beard trims to all-day spa excursions. Guests choose services from a menu of massages, facials, waxing, and haircare, which can be combined into packages for individuals and couples.
Quintana's soothing sanctuary doesn't just speak for itself. Patrons banded together to vote the salon into CityVoter's top five for Best Massage, Barber, and Mani-Pedi in 2013. The spa's acclaim page also spotlights press recognition of Friendliest Staff, Best-Looking Storefront, and Most Helpful Combs.
Under the helm of skilled nail technician and owner Regina Kinsey, Polished Nail Salon's staff grooms hands and feet with manicures and pedicures for women and men alike. Throughout the day, the salon's experienced crew bustles about the space artfully positioning sculpted glass nails atop existing keratin beds and performing waterless manicures that gussy up hands without the hassles of coaxing each finger into a life jacket.
Kim Rogers believes that loving others begins with loving and nurturing oneself. As the owner of OneIIOne Studio Spa, she helps her clients accomplish this through pampering and relaxation services. Rosemary-mint wraps exfoliate and hydrate skin as the natural essences help guests relax, whereas peppermint wraps firm and soothe skin. She also pampers guests with hot-stone facials and massages, along with waxing services and spa packages.

Never Goodbye
It had to happen sometime so let's make this quick and painless.
Beauty blogging doesn't make me happy anymore. And because it no longer brings me satisfaction, there's no drive to go the extra mile to come up with posts, take photos, review products etc.
That doesn't mean though that I've totally lost interest in all things kikay, on the contrary, I often find myself thinking that I should blog about something I discovered or something I like, but when I start thinking about the logistics involved, I usually end up saying "Di bale na lang" and proceed to play with my son. Again, if something doesn't give you joy anymore, it's no longer worth the effort.
But while I may stop writing in Kikay Exchange, I'll still be visible over at Frugal Honey, my blog on personal finance. It might be because of shifting priorities or growing old, but managing my money and helping others manage theirs, gives me way more satisfaction than dispensing advice on hair rebonding.
To be clear, this is not goodbye because I'll still be around, albeit in another blog. Thank you very much for sticking around with me these past 7 (or 8?) years and you have all been awesome.
See you around!
Rosy and Pink
I thought I was just imagining all the pink that I was seeing in my feed this month, but then I remembered that October is breast cancer awareness month, hence, the proliferation of all things pink and tatas.
Quick Updates + Parenting Philosophy
For the first time in weeks, I woke up with absolutely nothing on my to-do list. I submitted my revised financial plan for my Registered Financial Planners (RFP) course yesterday so I suddenly have all of this free time to blog, read, cook or just do absolutely nothing. I love it! Also, my son's yaya is now staying in with us, so that means we can watch a movie or go out for dinner on a weeknight! An actual, honest to goodness date without wrestling with a squirmy toddler to stay in his seat. I can't wait!
While I do miss beauty blogging, I honestly don't mind not writing on my parenting site Mom Exchange. I sometimes wonder if I'm a negligent parent because I'm not interested at all in parenting techniques and all the other bells and whistles that accompany modern parenting. Moreover, since I don't have any basis for comparison that will make me shrivel with insecurity or pat my own back with self-praise, I seriously think I'm doing a fantastic job at being a mom.
Yves Rocher Sebo Vegetal
Disclosure: Items provided by brand for review.
One of the cardinal rules when it comes to skin care is a no brainer: Choose products based on your skin type.
I have oily skin but whenever I use products intended for oily skin, my face would feel raw and tight. So despite the oil slick on my forehead, I've always veered towards gentle, cream type cleansers from Cetaphil and Physiogel, which don't irritate my skin but which don't help with the oilies either. Oh well, that's why God invented oil blotting paper right?
Yves Rocher recently reached out to me to try out the Sebo Vegetal range, its newest line of products intended for combination to oily skin types. The main ingredient Baikal promises a purifying effect that would leave skin matte. And because I'm a sucker for all things Frenchy and skin care, I accepted the challenge.
LuLu Makeup Workshop
Even though you're far from kikay, every girl would do well to learn the basics of makeup application. You won't believe how much well-groomed eyebrows and lipstick can change your look. And since you are the product that you are pushing (yes, believe it or not, you are always selling yourself), it's to your advantage to make sure that that product is presented in the best possible light.
That's why it's great that two of my blogger friends Char and Donnarence have teamed up to come up with a half day makeup workshop that will cover the basics and beyond of makeup application. Knowing these two girls, that workshop will not only prove to be educational it will surely be fun, fun, fun as well!

Biodynamics - Pseudo Science?
Well worth a read
5 comments:
- jeremyTuesday, April 21, 2009
Ok, everything else aside...I really don't believe people who claim they can taste whether or not a wine is BD. BS.ReplyDelete
It would be interesting though to tend one half a vineyard biodynamically & one half organically, give both sides equal attention and then seperate the parcels into two different wines...ReplyDelete
- jeremyTuesday, April 21, 2009
Absolutely. Not anti BD, just have problems with certain commentators claims. A lot of wines I love are BD or Organic, and I think it's better for the long term health of the soil than spraying.ReplyDelete
It's ultimately the more radical aspects of BD that are hard to stomach - root days & cow horns...ReplyDelete
- Stuart GilchristFriday, April 24, 2009
Here is an interesting read on the state of BD in California:ReplyDelete
(On page 5, even Jancis Robinson gets a guernsey) Maybe they'll be using the heads of disrespectful wine writers in their next formulations?

Officers told 11 News that they rushed to the scene to find one person trapped inside the vehicle. It's still unclear whether that person was a student or staff member at the school.
The person was taken to a local hospital in unknown condition.

Metro Detroit parents have many excellent options for schools, but for gifted children, none matches the education offered by The Roeper School. Founded in 1941, the school has an international reputation for its approach to educating gifted children.
The approach pioneered by the Roepers, which continues today, focuses on the whole child while uniquely accommodating the complexity of gifted children. Educationally, it offers the intellectual rigor gifted children crave and allows them to explore personal passions deeply and imaginatively. Emotionally, it embraces the complicated path gifted children travel to maturity as they juggle cognitive and emotional stages that are frequently out of sync. Developmentally, it teaches gifted children, who have a fierce desire to control their own learning, how to do so constructively and responsibly.
The Roeper School is an independent, co-educational day school for gifted students, pre-kindergarten through grade 12, with campuses in Bloomfield Hills (pre-K through 5th grade) and Birmingham (grades 6-12). Decision-making, problem-solving, social responsibility and leadership are interwoven throughout the school's curriculum. Roeper students receive local and national recognition on a regular basis. Roeper has a strong college preparatory program, with early access to many advanced placement courses, as well as highly regarded fine arts, drama, robotics and athletic departments.

Any Combat against Trolls/Baddies?
I've just started my ranked Solo/Duo for this season, and I was going good. After a few days I had a record of W - 5 L - 1. Then the baddies came in. I had one COMPLETE AND UTTER tard start his TwichtTV livestream.. and he linked the other team to his stream (and the smart ones watched so they would know where we are -.-)
The next was in team select, A player got mad that someone called a lane before them, so they still went ahead and picked a Top-Lane champ regardless of the teams needs. This then resulted in a loss as they refused to come bot (he was playing tristana and we needed an ADC) and resulted us in a loss as he started trolling us.
How is it fair that the whole team loses rank from such complete tard?? I've gone from 1380 rank to 1226 and it just keeps getting worse as my team mates have less and less skill as I sink lower into the depths of noob ranks :/
I would really love to help the community out, I really would. But when things like this happen to me I just lose faith in the community, I'm no "Pro", but I strive to become a better player. I feel it's a detriment to my goal by continuing to play LoL simply because I know I will face the same situations the lower I go (In rank). I don't care so much about the number itself. I just want to play at the same level as average - good level players so I can learn things off them so I can better myself. It just infuriates me that these trolls and baddies spread the consequences across the team, and I really hope there's some better way to go about this :/
Sorry for my foul language.
The best way I find is when someone takes a lane someone else called, immediately offer the person who called your spot or lane and try to fill in somewhere else if possible. The feeling of having a friend on the team can seriously have an impact on people who are deciding whether or not to troll because they're so pissed at someone else. I realize in ranked games this may not always be viable if you lock before them, but if you give them a little human decency, it can help.
As for the twitch guy... He's just a gloryhound, not really anything you can do except tell him it may be more impressive on his stream to win the game by not letting them know your exact positions
I'm a huge fan of that ignore button they give us.
Be overly nice and just ignore those who rage or ask if they'd just give it a rest because they are just making things worse. It doesn't always work, but most people will at least calm it a little bit, and are less likely to rage over something that is minor.
Dodge them =(
I know.... sorry.
It is either lose elo and have to make it up... or sit out 30 mins.
They need to improve mechanics instead of forcing us to play with obvious "baddies"
I just wait when calling lanes, I can play almost any position, so if people call lanes, I just let them have it. I don't want to make them rage and possibly throw the game in team select. There really is nothing you can do, I've been in elo hell forever now, and I can't for the reset so I can finally not play with trolls.
