I like to post funny stuff every once in a while but I am not really good at it. My buddy however he knows how to make me laugh so I go over there and check out what he has almost every day. Today I found a little picture that I think you're all going to like. If you don't like it you're a dick plain and simple. This is Jennifer Lawrence photobombing Taylor Swift. I didn't really care much for Jennifer Lawrence much before this but afterwards I found a whole new level of respect for her.
I didn't know who Kate Bosworth was so I had to look her up, she's an actress who has apparently starred in a whole bunch of shitty movies I've never seen. She was in Blue Crush and I think I remember seeing her in a bikini looking fucking smokin hot but time has not been kind apparently, she's got a kind of meth-head look going on if you ask me…anyway she's topless in this movie Big Sur and she's got pretty decent little boobies although it's not the best view of all time. I'm just disappointed that she's not Brian Bosworth's daughter or something, that would be awesome. In cooler news, she does have two differently-colored eyes which is pretty wicked!
I guess Alyssa Arce is a model for some agency or other, which is a little surprising to me…not because she's ugly because hell no she's not, she's fucking gorgeous, but she has huge tits in relation to her small frame! Normally that would be like ten thumbs up in the plus column but for fashion models big boobs are frowned upon…pretty stupid eh? Well, Alyssa is making the most of it by going to renowned photographer and noted douchebag Terry Richardson. The guy is a walking pile of assholes if you read up on some of the stuff he's done but I can't deny the dude can take a hot photo of a hot girl…for instance check out these shots of Alyssa getting those huge breasts out and lounging on a big wooden chair!
I didn't even recognize Courtney Stodden at first, she used to have that platinum blonde hair when she was married to the creepy guy from Green Mile and X Files. Now she's got huge fake tits, long wavy brown hair and is posing topless here for some UK magazine! You can't quite see her nipples because of her strategically arranged hair but hey she's still looking pretty hot if you're into slutty pornstar-looking chicks…I particularly like the tiny thong panties and sexy sheer black thigh-high stockings! I have the feeling this girl's 15 minutes of fame are well and truly over, but it'll be interesting to see what she does as she gets more desperate for attention.
Who the hell is Sarah Honeywell? Well according to Wiki she's a TV personality in the UK and has also been a dancer and acrobat and aerialist which I guess explains why she's got such a bangin body even if she's obviously a little older. She's having a ball in these paparazzi photos jumping topless off a yacht to go snorkeling or whatever…must be weird to have boats following you on vacation with guys just snapping all these photos. I admire Sarah's don't-give-a-flying-fuck attitude, that's for sure.
I still haven't seen the Wolf Of Wall Street movie, mostly because I hear it's like four hours long or something and I can barely sit still for two, but after checking out this clip of Margot Robbie getting naked in it and getting fucked by Leonardo DiCaprio I might just have to give it a whirl! She's gorgeous, blonde and has a fantastic pair of perky breasts, not to mention thigh-high stockings…Leo apparently has some trouble convincing Little DiCaprio to wake up and play which is almost unbelievable given how smoking hot this chick is. I had never heard of Margot Robbie before but consider me a superfan now!
I don't think she's having her day in the sun quite so much anymore now that a new girl has come along and taken the megastar sex symbol trophy away (cough Miley cough) but Lady Gaga still has some gas in her tank and she's experimenting more and more with her sexuality like in these photos shen she's bound and suspended in the nude! Hopefully she'll release a book of sexy photos just like Madonna did.
Alright, no foolin around, no beating around the bush, no hand-bras or implied nudes, no wrecking balls. This is gazillionaire girl-of-the-moment Miley Cyrus and she's showing her perfect fucking tits. I don't care if she's an attention whore, I don't care if her music sucks, she's absolutely smoking hot and she has a great pair of boobs and I for one am overjoyed that this celebrity goddess is so willing to show em off for us! Maybe next it'll be an ass shot or, oh man please, a sex tape! Can you imagine the mayhem that would ensue?
I can't say I've ever heard of Russian fashion model Kristina Tsvetkova but I certainly love what I'm seeing in this hot photoshoot! She decided to take it back to old school, getting all oiled up and shiny and doing a series of black and white nudes. She's absolutely gorgeous and her body looks just like you'd expect a naked fashion model to look like, long and lean and muscled with ribs poking out all over the damn place and nice perky titties. I can't say these photos are making me want to buy clothes any more than before but I definitely like whatever she's pushing!
Who exactly is Chloe Mafia? I have no idea but I'm going to hazard a guess, given the size of those tits and her overall glamorous appearance as she tries to adjust her bikini after a nipple slip caught by paparazzi. I'm guessing she was a star on a reality TV program in the UK, maybe a former model or something, who is causing waves as she uses her tits to try to keep the spotlight on herself after her days of stardom have started slipping away. Lemme take a look at her wiki article and see if I'm right. Please hold. Haha loooks like I'm not far off the money, this chick was on X Factor in the UK and it turns out she was a prostitute and flashes her tits everywhere. One point for me!
South African hottie Candice Swanepoel loves getting naked and man oh man I can understand why…if you had a body as absolutely perfect as this one wouldn't you want to share it with the world? She's totally nude in this Vogue photoshoot, lounging on a canopied bed with some sort of wack-ass headdress or something on, but look at those hips and those tits…this woman is completely and utterly smokin hot. It's probably a good thing South Africa has all that violence and all those killer maneating sharks around or everyone would want to go there and see if they could score a gorgeous girl like Candice!
I guess Lindsay Lohan posted this topless photo on her Instagram or something, smoking a cig and looking over her shoulder all artistic-like. I gotta say, she's not exactly looking bad in this picture which surprises me, I'm used to her looking like a used condom whenever she happens to be on camera (usually mugshots or something similar). Here she's actually pretty hot and is giving a little sideboob action…makes me wish more celebrities would post nude Instagram shots. Well maybe some celebrities…I mean I'll pass on the nude selfie by Steve Buscemi, know what I mean?
I am all for celebrities wearing revealing clothing on the red carpet, especially if they're as gorgeous as Jaimie Alexander here! She's going to be the new Wonder Woman apparently but there's no more wondering about her pussy because she straight up showed it off at this red carpet affair, thanks to a very cooperative black dress! It's got a sheer strip of fabric that goes all the way down her body and it just so happened to match up perfectly so we could see that bare snatch of hers…not often that you get to see a hot celebrity's pussy but here you go! Maybe next time Jaimie will wear panties, but hopefully not.
Say hi to Charlie Webster, and if you live in the US you probably don't know who she is…she's on TV as a presenter in the UK pretty frequently and most recently she was at the COD: Ghosts release red carpet party and made the admirable decision to wear a thin black top with no bra underneath. I don't know when celebrities will ever learn that a sheer black dress or top will show right through when the flashes start up! In this red carpet photo Charlie's nipples are showing through as clear as day, and since she's hot as hell this is most definitely a good thing. The game sounds fun too, might have to give that one a whirl.
OK so after taking a look at this shot of UK personality Kelly Brook showing her incredible ass with a sexy little skirt as part of her Halloween costume I have three questions. First, where is this party? Second, why the hell wasn't I invited? Third, who is the blonde on the right with the nice butt? Hopefully it's someone actually hot and not like a 40 year old guy with a blonde wig on, but even still I guess I gotta admit thats still a nice ass. Speaking of nice asses though there are few that compare to Kelly's butt, and she looks understandably proud of it as she looks over her shoulder! That combination of upskirt photo and sexy white thigh high stockings is a hell of a double threat, and hopefully if I send Kelly an invite she'll come to my halloween party in the bedroom.
I don't know if she needed any more attention after being on Dancing with the Stars, but never underestimate a celebrity's need for the spotlight of fame…guessing that's what's behind this sexy selfie by Joanna Krupa as she snaps a photo of her gorgeous tight little ass and some sexy sideboob action as well! Her face isn't in the picture but apparently this was up on her twitter or something, I guess it's legit. That looks like the kind of ass you could just bury your face in until next week, doesn't it?
Remember when Paris Hilton was big news? Yeah I barely do either…well, she's trying to make a musical comeback (can you come back from never really being musically popular?) with this new music video…feel free to watch it if you want, I'm avoiding it like the damn plague. I have the feeling it's going to make your ears vomit, but since it has a music video featuring blonde richgirl Paris mostly naked in her swimsuit, it might be worth watching on mute…you make your own decision here, I will not be held responsible for the consequences. Paris is still pretty hot though I've gotta say, although I'm sure her personality hasn't improved much over the last few years.
OK so what is it with the tongue thing for Miley Cyrus? She's still coasting on her fifteen minutes of fame and is getting more and more nude with every photo, which I heartily approve of. She's an attention-whore but holy shit does she have a nice tight body…check out these photos, you can see that she doesn't even have weird-looking nipples or anything, she's hot from head to toe! From photos ranging from a sheer see-through top that shows those perky tits to a completely topless shoot with fishnet type stockings to a picture of her giving herself a cameltoe with her red leotard outfit Miley is showing she's not afraid to bare it all, which puts her in the upper echelon of sexy celebrities if you ask me. I still don't get the tongue thing though…and man she has a hella long tongue, just imagine what she could do with it!
If you've been living under a damn rock for awhile you might not be familiar with Kate Upton, but we're about to change that with this collection of photos…she's one of the hottest celebrities out there with that beautiful ass and her big perfect titties, not to mention her supermodel face! In these photos she's getting classy, going black and white in her frilly bikini lingerie in a very stately house or mansion or something. It's like if Masterpiece Theater was actually interesting and had sexy half-naked celebs parading around showing off incredible long legs, long wavy blonde hair and everything else that Kate is showing off in these photos.
The media just can't get enough of Miley Cyrus lately…and people wonder how she made all her damn money. First she does some terrible twerking with her little white girl butt, then she gets completely nude in her music video for some shitty song and the blogs just ate it up like applesauce! Here she's posing with her producer, a big black dude by the name of Mike Will Made It, using that amazing tongue of hers to nearly lick him like a popsicle. She's in a tiny top and white panties and I've gotta admit, looks sexy as hell for a celebrity cashing in on her fifteen minutes of fame. I'm not entirely sure but I think these photos are by Terry Richardson, and if you've got an afternoon to kill man you gotta look that guy up. He's done some crazy shit and has shot a billion photos of sexy celebrities and models too.
Feeling a little delicate after a wild weekend, need a little help with getting your hangover off your mind? Well take a look at this collection of links to some hot ladies, some famous, some not, showing off their titties and asses. This isn't all just naked celebrities though, there are a few weird random links scattered in just to keep you on your toes…it's all entertaining though and hopefully will make you forget that last night you dumped a whole damn bottle of tequila into the fishtank because you wanted Mr Bubbles to have a good time too. What were you even thinking with that shit?

Oracle Sought Buyout Advice from Former CA Chief Kumar
Oracle Sought Buyout Advice from Former CA Chief Kumar
SAN FRANCISCOOracle Corp. Co-President Charles Phillips met over lunch with Sanjay Kumar, former chairman of Computer Associates International Inc., to get his advice on how to win U.S. Department of Justice clearance for its $7.7 billion buyout bid for PeopleSoft Inc.
On June 27, 2003, Phillips sent an e-mail message to Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, Chief Financial Officer Jeff Henley and Oracle President Safra Catz, saying that Kumar advised him that it was possible to get negative DOJ staff decisions overturned. "But you need lawyers who are absolutely plugged in" at the DOJs staff and management levels, wrote Phillips.
Phillips e-mail memo was presented as evidence Wednesday in U.S. District Court here in the governments lawsuit seeking a permanent injunction to block Oracles acquisition of PeopleSoft.
The memo noted that CA managed to convince DOJ management to overturn negative staff recommendations on two separate CA acquisitions.
Philips described Kumar "as the master of software deals" who worked on "every important" acquisition that CA carried out in the 1990s. However, Kumar has since fallen from grace in the wake of a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation of CA accounting practices.
He first resigned as chairman and later departed from the company after employees were fired and others were indicted on accounting fraud charges claiming that CA was chronically booking software sales revenue before it was actually realized to improve its quarterly financial reports.
The DOJ Antitrust Division reviews all merger and acquisition bids to ensure that they dont violate antitrust law by being anti-competitive. The DOJ staff recommended that the department deny Oracles buyout of PeopleSoft on the grounds that it would create an anti-competitive market for enterprise application software.
The DOJ presented the document to support its contention that Oracle wont continue to upgrade and support the current PeopleSoft product line. Instead, it will subject customers to a rapid and costly migration to Oracle applications.
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison Wednesday, testifying here Wednesday, denied that Oracle would alienate PeopleSoft customers after paying billions of dollars to acquire the company. He said Oracle would continue to support the product and allow customers to upgrade to a merged Oracle/PeopleSoft product line at a time of their own choosing.
Click here to read about Oracle CEO Larry Ellisons testimony on his early talks with PeopleSoft chief executive Craig Conway about a friendly merger.
The memo recommended several steps to correct customer impressions that Oracle will not continue to support PeopleSoft applications if its buyout bid is successful.
"Well have to admit that things got off on a bad foot and we didnt express our true intentions very well," Phillips wrote. "Thats the only way to explain the reversal in our position with respect to customers."

The memo also recommended that Phillips, Catz or Ellison meet with the Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal to "promise him support for his product, which is the same thing weve already promised everybody else."
To read about other merger targets Oracle considered before making its hostile bid for PeopleSoft, click here.
Blumenthal has been an activist in bringing antitrust complaints against information technology companies on behalf of Connecticut consumers. At Blumenthals behest, Connecticut joined other states in supporting the DOJs antitrust litigation against Microsoft Corp.
To resolve his opposition to the PeopleSoft buyout, Phillips suggested Oracle "give him a victory so he can back off and say he got a concession."
The memo noted that Kumar is acquainted with several members of the PeopleSoft board of directors. Kumar recommended that Oracle offer concessions that would win the support of top PeopleSoft executives and board members, particularly PeopleSoft founder Dave Duffield.
Duffield, Kumar said, was concerned about the potential for mass firings once a buyout was completed. He suggested that Oracle announce a hiring freeze in advance of closing the buyout along witih a statement that Oracle "will try to keep as many PeopleSoft employees as possible."

My Dr. tells me that until I heal my adrenals, my metabolism isn't functioning. I have gained a lot of weight (15-20 lbs), mostly around the middle. I used to run marathons and am fairly active, but am told that I should not do anything aerobic right now. How can I shed this unwanted weight?
Hi betsy can u give me d details for this woman who helped u in your thyroid and adrenals??? I m freaking out with weightJuly 31, 2014 - 9:21am
I am 37 and was diagnosed with hormonal imbalance and adrenal fatigue. I lost my dad to mesothelioma the day my daughter was 3 months old, Thanksgiving 2007. For nearly 6 years, I developed chronic stress, inability to cope, and a whirlwind of medications that didn't help. 3 years ago slowly stopped meds with dr. help. 3 months ago, Cindy Smith at Reeves-Sain wellness in Murfreesboro, TN, diagnosed my problem via saliva testing. As it turns out, all of my hormones were significantly low....like a 65 year female going through menopause. I wasn't shocked. I began progesterone, DHEA, and adrenal supplements (Dr. James Wilson's regimen). After 3 days, of tx, my mom passed unexpectedly (11/5). So, here goes the roller coaster again. I will have to say that my supplements must be working at least a little b/c I still get up, get going, and put on make-up (haha). I am just wondering if I am the only one out there my age that is experiencing this. --37 in Bell Buckle, TNJanuary 15, 2014 - 8:00am
No. You not the only one. After taking care of my mom for several years I found her in our home. She passed April 1,2008
I tried to deal with it without any help. A year later I ended up with a severe case of pneumonia that stayed for three months. I gained several hundred pounds and have been told by 5 Dr that it was because of what I was eating. They could not understand that I was starving myself. I just found out that my thyroid level is on the border and my cortisol level is 0.5 when it is supposed to be 6-20.
HI there I have just joined up and think this is a very useful site so here goes I have been feeling ill for years now and the doc keeps saying its stress and arthritis i go to docs so often they all know my name how sad is that ha. Well now I have to go back tomorrow as my morning cortisol are high at last something shows up I am sure they think I am a hypo as a kid I was on massive doses of steroids for my asthma till I was 17 i asked the doc could that be part of the problem this doc then did this test.October 9, 2011 - 1:49am
I would highly recommend reading up on the Maffetone Method by Dr. Phil Maffetone. In his book he talks about the physiological effects of both aerobic and anaerobic excercise. As an (ex)Ironman triathlete, I realize, after reading his books, how much damage I have done to my body by poor training methods. All of my intense training has caused burnout - adrenal fatigue. Training at anaerobic levels too often led me to be a carbohydrate burning machine - according to Maffetone, I did not allow my body to use fat for energy during workouts, I depended on cokes and gels. Therefore, my sugar cravings became insatiable. After a torn achilles and surgery, my weight sky-rocketed and so did my cravings.
Today I work on only my aerobic "engine" so that I don't cause undue adrenal stress. Training purely aerobically causes several physiological adaptations that anaerobic exercise cannot, appropriate fat-burning being one of them. Another benefit of pure aerobic training is fortifying of the tendons, ligaments, and muscles, and development of the necessary blood vessels to nourish those tissues during exercise. Jumping into anaerobic exercise without the proper development of the aerobic system can also cause injuries because the body has not had time to adapt. There is so much more in Maffetone's books...
There is a time and place for anaerobic exercise, but I won't be doing it any time soon. Hope this helps!March 16, 2009 - 12:17pm
Because you were such an incredible athlete (I admire anyone who can do an Ironman) and realize your previously poor training methods, you should also appreciate the concept of balance.
I caution our readers to create balance in their exercise programs. Talk to your doctor, get referred to a good physical therapist or trainer to get an exercise program designed just for you. Too many people go into an exercise program as though it's a cookie-cutter deal. NOT! We're not cookie-cut people.August 6, 2009 - 7:41pm
Hi, Anon (Dianne?):
I can certainly identify with stress build-up over an extended period of time. I used to take DHEA, as well, for a time. But, I found that physical activity made me feel better. Besides, I forget to take my supplements.
I can also identify with the belly fat and menopause issues. Frustrating.
Do you keep a food and fitness journal? Keeping track of what you eat and your daily activity helps keep you on track, and holds you accountable for your eating habits and exercise.
What two books did you just order?March 6, 2009 - 8:47pm
Hello again,
I agree - physical activity does make one feel better. I enjoy walking and when I start my day off with a nice long one, it sets the tone for the entire day.
I don't keep a journal, but plan to start. I really need to get a handle on what foods trigger me feeling sluggish vs. more energetic.
The books I ordered are Adrenal Fatigue ... the 21st Century Sndrome and the Cortisol Connection. I think they'll both provide me some more information on how cortisol impacts overall health, and I hope they give some insight into what foods to avoid, how to heal adrenals, etc.
My goal is to feel rested, look rested, and to take off this stubborn 20 lbs!March 8, 2009 - 8:12pm
Thank you for the book titles, I'll look for them. While I don't think I'm suffering from stress, I do think there are food triggers contributing to my inability to shed weight and overall feeling of sluggishness.March 9, 2009 - 5:23pm
Wow! I'm amazed at the responses from each of you. I'll do my best to answer some of the questions posed. My Dr. contributes my adrenal fatigue to high levels of stress over extended periods of time - too much going on for too long (most women can identify!). I did two saliva tests - the first to confirm the diagnosis and the second about 6 months later to see where I am now. Sorry to say, no change yet. She says to be patient, it can take up to 18 months. In the meantime, she has prescribed restorative yoga and getting lots of rest in addition to supplements and a small dose of DHEA combined with testostorne. I am walking almost daily and do some yoga, but not as much as I probably should be doing.
I was working with a trainer 2x a week, but just stopped for two reasons: the trainer didn't understand enough about my condition to help, and the only time I could go was early morning which meant I had to get up even earlier. Also, my thoughts are that with the layer of fat around my belly, I'm better off walking.
I am in memopause, so some of this might be contributed to that - but with my eating habits (not perfect, but reasonable) and the exercise I do get,I am still gaining too much too fast.
I just ordered two books that may provide me some additional info.
Thanks again ladies!

Admissions Advice from UK Students Studying in the US »
The breadth of education available at a school like the University of Pennsylvania is astonishing....

Academic Qualifications - Academic Performance and Potential - Extracurricular Involvement - Reason for Attending Institution
"Be honest about who you are and what makes you unique in your application. Your exam results are an important part but not the only part of your application. US universities really take a look at everything you submit."Laura, Yale University
When selecting universities, first consider whether you meet the minimum academic qualifications. As you prepare your applications, you should also keep in mind your application will be reviewed holistically and that both academic performance and potential and non-academic, subjective criteria will be evaluated too, such as extracurricular involvement and compelling reasons for choosing a university.
Establishing that you meet the minimum academic criteria for admission to the universities of your choice does not guarantee entrance to those universities, but is instead the first step in assuring that your application is seriously considered. To have the best chance at admission to a highly-competitive university, it is important to pair high marks with a thorough, carefully considered application package.
See the National Association for College Admission Counseling's (NACAC) Admission Trends Survey to see the importance of different factors in the admission decision.
As a general rule, US universities will expect to see a similar type of qualification and results as British universities of a similar level of prestige and competitiveness.
As a minimum requirement for four-year bachelor's degrees, you should have completed at least five GCSEs at grade C or above (or five Scottish Standard Grades), including English and Math, plus be completing or have completed a post age 16 qualification. The most competitive universities will expect to see three A-Levels or their equivalent. This could include a minimum of three Scottish Highers, A-Levels alongside the Welsh Baccalaureate, the IB (see our IB FAQs handout) or Pre-U.
The slightly less competitive bachelor's programmes are likely to accept the BTEC. The Edexcel website provides a list of some universities who accept the BTEC. Many more do, and we encourage you to simply email or call the admissions office for more information. Additionally, some institutions, particularly two-year or community colleges, will accept students with other UK qualifications, such as GNVQs, GSVQs, HNCs or HNDs.
We also suggest that you not assume that US universities will know about or accept qualifications beyond GCSEs, A-Levels and the IB (which is available in the US). You should therefore email or ring the admissions office to double check they accept your qualifications and ask if you should submit additional information about them. Although US universities do not use the UCAS Tariff, it doesn't hurt to include information about the UCAS Tariff points for your qualification or the description of the qualification provided by UCAS, along with your transcript.
If you have only completed your GCSEs, you may wish to apply for a two-year associate programme at a community college, which will give you the option to transfer to a four-year bachelor's programme in a 2+2 arrangement. If you plan to apply for a four-year bachelor's programme immediately, the university may require you to sit the GED high school equivalency exam.
If you are pursuing a Foundation Degree, it is best to contact each university about their policies as to whether or not you will apply as a first-year or transfer student. Some US universities view Foundation Degrees as a gateway to higher education and will have you apply as a transfer student. Whilst other US universities may view Foundation Degrees as continuing secondary education and will have you apply as a first-year student if you have not yet attended a university and/or worked towards a bachelor's degree. However, you may find that many US universities may not have heard of Foundation Degrees and will ask for more information about the programme you are enrolled in. Although US universities do not use the UCAS Tariff, it doesn't hurt to include information about the UCAS Tariff points for your qualification or the description of the qualification provided by UCAS.
If you have started university in the UK (even if you are just starting your first year), you will likely apply as a transfer student which has a slightly different admissions process than applying as a first-year student. You should however check with each university's admissions office to confirm whether you should apply as a transfer or first-year student.
This search tool may provide further information about how universities might view your qualifications.
Your academic abilities will be evaluated in the first instance by your results in Years 10-13 (such as GCSE, AS-levels and predicted A-levels) as reported on your transcript. However, your academic aptitude will also be assessed through your performance on admissions tests. Admissions tests are used as a common denominator to compare applications from different US states (there is no national curriculum) and different countries.
The stronger your academic record inside the classroom and on standardised tests, the stronger your chances of admission. If you have done particularly well on your A-levels or have further education qualifications, you may be awarded advanced standing by US university you attend. However, academic achievements alone will not guarantee entrance to competitive US university programmes.
Unfortunately, there is not an official grade conversion between US and UK marks. Instead, US university admissions officers either evaluate international credentials internally or require that students use an external credential evaluator. Below is a chart displaying approximate grade conversions that may be useful in determining competitiveness for admission and funding. (IB students see our IB FAQs handout.)
We do not recommend reporting a US GPA on your applications or transcript. Leave this field blank or report your UK results in their original format.
|GCSEs and A Levels
|UK Letter Grade
|US Letter Grade

|3.3 - 3.7

An extracurricular is any constructive activity not required to finish school, such as: paid and unpaid work experience, volunteering, sports, school activities, interests in the arts, hobbies, etc.
US universities are looking for well-rounded applicants who will be active in their classrooms and on their campuses because of the US philosophies of active learning in a classroom (ie discussions and group projects) and that the university is a living learning environment (which you will be active in and benefit from). From your application, they will also want to gain a sense of your character, personal interests and professional goals. By highlighting your involvement in extracurricular activities at school or within the community, you will be able to tell them more about who you are as a person, as well as place your academic achievements in context. Students that perform well academically while balancing extracurricular activities, such as sports, performing arts, community service, leadership roles and/or part-time work, are more likely to gain admission to a US university programme.
Universities also consider the background of the student and what was or wasn't available to him/her and if there were other obligations (family duties, working to help support their family, etc) which might have taken away from time for academics or extracurriculars.
US universities know that there are excellent programmes in the UK. So why do you want to go to the US? Part of your job in the application is to convince the university that if given a place and/or funding you will take them up on the offer. Make them feel confident by giving compelling reasons for studying in the US and at their university.
Universities will also be looking for a detailed explanation of your interest in pursuing a degree at their institution. As explained in the overview of the admissions process, admissions officers will be assessing your application for entry into the institution rather than a particular field of study. We recommend that students compile a thoughtful list of reasons why they believe each of their chosen universities is a good match for them, as well as why they are a good fit for the university, and refer to these lists when writing admissions essays and responses to short answer questions. Again, the aim is to convince your reader (and yourself) that you are a good fit for the university.

Some differences by income were observed. A larger percentage of people with multiple chronic conditions were found in the lowest income group, people who are going to be eligible for Medicaid coverage in the ACA. But the differences in family income by health condition are not tremendous.
Out-of-Pocket Spending
Cunningham next analyzed the data on out-of-pocket spending by the entire family for both out-of-pocket premiums and out-of-pocket services by family income and health condition. He found that out-of-pocket spending did tend to be higher for people with multiple chronic conditions but the differences were much larger for spending related to services. That reflects the fact that premiums tend to be more predictable. Also, more people are going to be in group coverage, for which there is less variation in the rates, whereas the out-of-pocket spending for services is less predictable.
A much larger percentage of people with multiple chronic conditions tended to have out-of-pocket spending that was greater than 10 percent of their income compared with people with even two chronic conditions, and certainly more than people with acute or no conditions.
One conclusion that can be drawn from these findings is that there tends to be a pretty systematic break for people with three or more chronic conditions compared with people with fewer chronic conditions, resulting in a level of seriousness, or intensity of service use, that leads to greater out-of-pocket spending.
Trends in High Financial Burden
Analysis of MEPS data for 2001, 2006, and 2008 shows that, across all condition categories, between 2001 and 2006 there was an increase in the percentage of people with high financial burden, defined as total out-of-pocket spending greater than 10 percent of family income. That reflects real incomes, adjusted for inflation, basically staying flat for that time period, as well as increases in out-of-pocket costs for both premiums and services. After 2006, however, there appears to be a leveling off for most people of out-of-pocket spending relative to income. For people with three or more chronic conditions, spending actually decreased, returning to 2001 levels.
Most of this trend appears to be related to a decrease in out-of-pocket spending for services; for people with multiple chronic conditions, it is related to a decrease in out-of-pocket prescription drug spending. Other data indicate that, during this time period, there has been a marked shift from brand name use to generic use of prescription drugs. So that could be

Side Hill Farmers in Manlius receives nearly $200K USDA grant
Empire Brewing Co. farmstead brewery in Cazenovia also receives funding
When Side Hill first opened its doors in the plaza behind Sno Top last July, there were three employees and a lot of meat — and that was about it. But over the last year, it has expanded to include almost a dozen employees and numerous varieties of meats, vegetables and prepared foods. And now, thanks to a nearly $200,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the co-op can expand even more.

Open Farm Day to be held July 26
With the long-awaited summer now in full swing, Open Farm Day is a chance to enjoy the bounty of some of Madison County's best farms. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on July 26, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Madison County invites the public to take a behind-the-scenes look at local farms at its seventh annual Open Farm Day as 35 farms and three farmers' markets open their gates to the public.
Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus found in Onondaga County
Onondaga County Interim Commissioner of Health Michelle Mignano announced that the New York State Department of Health's laboratory has reported finding evidence of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) in a mosquito pool. The mosquito pool was collected on July 10 at our Taft Road trap site located at East Taft Road (near the Totman Road intersection). Due to this finding and the recent high mosquito count, aerial spraying of the Cicero Swamp and immediate surrounding areas will be done between the hours of 6 and 9 p.m. Tuesday, July 22, weather permitting. Residents in the spray areas will be notified through the media and through the emergency notification system.
Side Hill Farmers expand and innovate
Larger retail location opens with more local products and interactive space
The 2014 culinary forecast is in: according to more than 1,000 chefs surveyed by the National Restaurant Association, locally sourced meats are the most sought-after food item in the country. The farm-to-table movement has energized chefs and consumers alike to demand more local, quality foods. Indeed, the most recent census shows farms selling directly to consumers increased sales by more than 300 percent since 1992, and are growing twice as fast as the country's total agricultural sales.
Side Hill Farmers to expand after an explosive first year in Manlius

Greyrock Farm CSA begins fourth growing season, opens CSA enrollment
On any given day during the planting season, a person driving down East Lake Road in Cazenovia may see Matt Volz, or his partner Gillian Goldberg, out in the fields driving a horse-drawn plow. Occasionally, Volz, dressed for the weather and dirty from work, may be standing on the stopped plow, while the horses patiently wait, as he talks or texts on his iPhone. This juxtaposition of tradition and technology, of old and new, is the essence of Greyrock Farm's Consumer Supported Agriculture (CSA) program: a year-round offering to members of not just seasonal vegetables, but also grass-fed beef and lamb, pastured pork and chicken — all of which are raised, slaughtered and processed on-site — as well as eggs from pastured laying hens and raw milk.
City, local organizations, and volunteers prepare for annual community tree planting event

If you travel south past the Jamesville Reservoir on Route 91 and drive a bit off the beaten path, you'll stumble across Adams Acres, a family-run apple orchard tucked in between the rolling hills of Jamesville. Unlike some other orchards around Central New York, Bill and Kathy Adams decided from the start that they wanted their business to focus on two things: excellent customer service and simply just allowing people to pick apples.

Argh, of course after he's been a wonderful pooper now all of a sudden the past three or four days he's not like going at all. And if he does it's really hard, earlier this afternoon it was almost like little balls. I don't know what at all to do about this, he drinks water/slight juice; milk; eats his yogurt and things like that. WHAT could i be doing wrong?
thanks for any input! <3

Love this placePosted on 10 / 20 / 2014
I am not drinking, but vegan for many years, it is great and I have fun every tine I am going there especially the food!
I am not drinking, but vegan for many years, it is great and I have fun every tine I am going there especially the food!
We grabbed some really tasty food to go from here, but the atmosphere of the bar was really relaxed and nice (even for a non-drinker like myself). Very good meatball sub!
My husband and I love this place. They have lots of great food options, and their BBQ Brussels Sprouts Bowl just might be the perfect meal. They have a variety of tasty cocktails and a nice rotating beer tap. Also, don't forget to check the specials board for desserts and soups. The "cheesecake" is sooo darned good! We take our non-veggie friends here all the time, and they love it too. I have read some other reviews that say the service is so-so, but we have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful.
We got off to a bad start. We walked in and were seated for 5 minutes before venturing to the bar to find out how to get service. Yep, gotta order at the bar. Would have been nice if someone had greeted us, acknowledged us, anything, when we walked in. In fact, the bartender was seated at the bar chatting up a friend, apparently watching us poor schmucks trying to figure it out. Mind you, there were only 2 other tables filled.
We both ordered the meatball subs, which were good, not extraordinary. Once the food was delivered to our table, that was the last we saw of anyone.
I don't want to say all bad things about this place, so I'll start with the good - They're an all vegan bar, beer selection is good, staff is friendly, atmosphere is nice but... It took an hour and a half to get our dinner tonight! After we stood in line to order at the bar we were told it would take 45 minutes, which was fine, but it took twice as long as that. What was most confusing is that it should take about 10 minutes to throw together what we got: a soup on special and a sausage sandwich. All the good things were good, but all the bad things made it bad enough so that we'd never go back.
We were totally impressed with the food and atmosphere at The Bye and Bye. Everything was vegan, the staff was friendly and very helpful, and the food was DELICIOUS! It was fresh & full of flavor. Vegans and meat lovers would both enjoy this place!
I went to the Bye and Bye with four other friends. We meet once a month and try a new place. This is a fun place! I like the open-door atmosphere. The food prices were very reasonable, and the portions were fair. I'd go back again. Oh, yeah. And dogs are allowed on the patio out front by parking!
I kept hearing about how awesome this place is and I wanted to support a local vegan establishment. I've gone in about 5 or 6 times thinking that I might be hitting it on an off day each time. The final straw was the last two times I went in (again, thinking maybe it was an off-day) and the bartenders kept serving people over me despite the fact that I was standing at the bar, holding a menu, and trying to make eye contact. Considering the fact that I was the only Afro-American patron in the place, I began to get a familiar feeling so I left.
I didn't enjoy the food that much.
I don't want to be completely negative so I will say that the drinks are tasty and creative, however, I'm making the choice not to support this place.
Updated from previous review on Saturday February 02, 2013
Had a great meal (eastern bowl) and an organic beer. Great!
I have frequented this bar since it opened. As a vegan, I love being able to order anything without a worry. The food and drinks are great! The atmosphere is perfect. The patio is nice in the summer. I recommend Bye and Bye to everyone.
Order the Meatball sub. Just do it.
Every city/town should have a vegan bar and restaurant like this. Fantastic atmosphere, great outdoor seating, and very friendly service. Order your food at the bar with your drinks, and the food will be delivered to your table. We only had the grilled cheese with our happy hour drinks, but it was the best grilled cheese we'd had in a long time! On our next trip back to Portland, we look forward to spending more time at the Bye and Bye--how lucky for vegans living close by to have this gem in their neighbourhood.
top-notch vegan bar food. open late, nice staff, good prices, and a decent atmosphere (for a bar).
Vegan soul food and bye and bye [the cocktail] in the same place, I never wanted to leave!
Trying that cocktail is a must if you come here. Their bbq plate is fantastic- cheap and filling. I ended up having to share it with my sister. The ambience is amazing, and the staff is friendly.
First off this is a Great Bar that happens to be Vegan, pretty damn cool. I've been here pretty much every time I've been to Portland and I have always been blown away. I went again last night, it was a Wednesday evening and the place was hoping with all sorts of interesting hipster people. If I was too nitpick, the scene is not really my kind of people but they drinks are cheap (which it not easy to say in many Portland bars) the food is tasty and vegan and the outside seating is nice when it's sunny and nice. There are minor hours during the day, as I've eaten with a 20 year old vegan college friend, during the day a great little place to take the younger ones and sit outside, I would take my 6 year old daughter for lunch if she was with me, as the people watching and rambling on Alberta is always a treat. If I had to come up with something negitive... The bartenders all the times I've been in are guys and I wouldn't mind a hot tattooed Portland bartender from time to time, so come on get working on that.
A couple reviews mentioned the strong "hipster" scene. It is just Portland, nothing to fear. I am a middle-aged, decidedly "un-hip" kind of guy and they welcomed my un-pierced, non-tatted self just fine.
I started off with the famous "Bye and Bye" drink. It is good if you are thirsty, but a little too much fruit punch or whatever they top it with. I switched to beer later, an excellent Hefe Weizen that I would order again.
For food I had the Weeping Tiger sandwich. Be careful with this one. The Jalapenos are neither seeded nor pickled. I chewed into one with a nuclear seed payload,it about knocked me off the stool. Beyond that it was tasty. Really the Sriracha sauce gives it enough spice, IMHO. You get a side dish with these sandwiches too. I chose the Collard Greens. I never had Collard Greens before, these were spiced and simmered. Still not one of my favorites, but not bad either.
I'll go again. Definitely want to try the meatball sandwich.
Excellent vegan food, love the pub atmosphere. Meatball sub & grilled cheese are favorites, bowls are delicious also.
Everything I've had here is fantastic. My favorites are: meatball sub, weeping tiger, grilled cheese & brussel sprouts. You really can't go wrong. Great outdoor patios in front and back. Try a North Williams or the Bye & Bye for drinks. Yum and cute bartenders too boot! If you visit PDX you must go here or there newly opened other joing: the Sweet Hereafter
I love going here for the drink called the Bye and Bye it is a large drink for about 8 dollars. They now offer more gluten free food too! My favorite food here is probably the weeping tiger sandwich which has a chicken like patty and spicy sauce/mayo mix with avacado and tomato. The ambience is nice and they have outdoor seating.
Great healthier vegan twist on pub food. My husband had the meatball sub. Simple but tasty, and he was able to get a side of sauteed brussel sprouts instead of just fries. They were perfectly cooked, tender and delicious. I got the BBQ Plate; black eyed peas and collard greens. I was glad to have a choice that was not typical bar food. It was very nice; spicy beans, and the greens were well cooked. They only negative is that there was a bit too much sauce, my food was swimming a little (although the sauce was tasty). Great selection of cheaply priced micro brews. Fantastic space, large outdoor patios in front and back, lots of tables, good music. You order and pay at the bar and they deliver your food, so the line can be long when it gets busy, but the food came very quickly. This is truly a pub; the food is not upscale but it is delicious, the price was great and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. We'd definitely go back again. Recommended.
Once you see the very unobtrusive sign, it's hard to believe that Bye and Bye serves only vegan eats. The place looks more like a bar, happy-hour, music kind of place where the staff doesn't even know what vegan is. Wrong. My husband and I went there for dinner a few nights ago and loved the food. I also loved the ginger beer (which was spicy enough to make me sneeze!) Jerry ordered a Georgia Bowl (tofu, brown rice and the most delicious collard greens) and I had the Brussel Bowl (BBQ tofu, brown rice and brussels sprouts), because we love those cruciferous vegetables. The collards especially were cooked to perfection and the brussels sprouts were dandy too. Both It was one of those rare warm and not raining Portland evenings in May, so we sat outside on the patio, not aware that smoking was allowed. When the folks at the next table lit up, we had to move or it would have ruined the flavor of our bowls. Sure enough, after we moved, the people two tables away lit up too. The problem might be solved if the non-smoking tables were placed together on one side of the door with the smokers on the other. Or if there were no smoking at all. The music from inside was louder than we liked, but not nearly as noxious as the smoke. We really liked the place and the food and drinks they served, but smoke and loud music did detract.
This place is a cool hangout and meet-up spot. My bf got some food and wine that he rated as OK. We were pleased w/ the atmosphere though.
Friendly and knowledgeable folks work and own Bye and Bye. It's run very well -- carefully chosen beer, wine and cocktails and tasty food. It's also well designed. I didn't have much of a desire to eat here, but I was wrong. Though the food can mostly be classified as comfort food, it's expertly done, and I recommend the BBQ tofu, collared green and black eyed pea plate. I'm still guessing at how those greens were flavored (apple cider vinegar and liquid smoke?).
I had such an excellent time at the Bye and Bye. The setup is great as it has tables, bar seating and outdoor tables to choose from. You'll find really inventive cocktails as well as a good tap list. I ordered the nachos, and they blew my mind. They are made with Daiya, which is my favorite vegan cheese. The bar staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The bartender/owner spent quite some time talking with us, finding out what we like to drink and producing some fantastic recommedations.
We travel back to Portland in a week and can't wait to get back to the Bye and Bye to try a few more items on the menu.
I'd be a regular at this place if I lived in Portland.
I went here on a Saturday evening, around 5:00 and the place was pleasantly full, but we had no problem finding a table. The food menu is short, but I still had a hard time deciding on what to eat. We ended up sharing the Chili Dog and Spaghetti with Meatballs. Both were amazing, the Chili Dog was on an amazingly fresh bun and was loaded with toppings. It also came with a side of chips and salsa. The Spaghetti bowl was huge, so its a good thing I was hungry. It was loaded with sauce and tasty meatballs, and came with garlic bread. We didn't have anything to drink, but will definitely be back. The music was loud and the place was slightly dark, but very clean. The prices were pretty low for the portion size.
I do not drink, so bars don't normally appeal to me, but, as a resident of the midwest, I was determined to try as many vegan venues as possible on my PDX trip. I was SO glad that Bye and Bye made the list!!
I had trouble deciding what to get b/c everything looked good! But I finally decided on the Weeping Tiger. With such a cool name I couldn't pass that up! It was described as fried tofu cutlets, with jalapeños, hot sauce, (I think lettuce too), & some kind of veg-mayo (maybe Vegannaise?) served on bread, & with a side of collard greens. OMG That sandwich was so dog-on scrumptious that I wanted to immediately order another one!! Now, I LUV spicy food, but this sandwich tested my Cuban spice-buds! Not too too spicy, but it ain't for the weak either! The cutlets were fresh & cooked to perfection. Simply, the best darn sandwich, EVER! And I don't know who cooked those greens, but I was tempted to peek in the kitchen to see if someone's Mississipi granny was back there! The were clean, flavorful, and not overcooked. A perfect late-night meal!
And how funny, my name means, tiger, & I almost wept over the Weeping Tiger. It was THAT good! I made sure to tell the waiter how ecstatic I was about their food. When I go back to Portland, Bye & Bye will be my first stop!
Bye and Bye is an awesome place and I'd definitely be a regular if I lived here. You must be 21 to enter. They serve Sam Smith Organic Lager (my fav beer) Check out the Jukebox if you are 30 or older :)
actually before 10pm... um, maybe 9pm but I believe it's 10, minors can go in. Kids even with a parent, and there's no smoking indoors. I love the place. Was just there tonight with friends. Night before last too. And Sunday, and....
yeah, I love the place.
Current closing time for minors is 8pm. Fact as of May '09. But I wouldn't suggest kids, excepting well behaved teens or older.
There are lots of things that I love about Bye and Bye. I love that it is the DIY project of a handful of younger fellas who are actually vegan. I love that the food is simple and not trying to be anything but tasty. I love the layout - large enough to not feel cramped, open enough to not feel stuffy (can't wait until summer with the big garage door windows open!), the design is cool without being pretentious. The artwork is great! The drinks are lovely! The owners/workers and employees (I think there are 2 people who work there who don't own the place?) are all nice and appreciative of business which is great! Being a bar 1st and restaurant 2nd, it can get kinda busy weekend nights, but it has never felt so crowded that I was uncomfortable getting a drink and hanging out. Here are some pointers -
- there isn't a sign so just look for the little parking lot on the corner of 10th & Alberta, it is that building.
- tons of bike parking
- order food at the short counter on the left of the bar for more obvious and direct service (it is counter service only)
- it can get really busy and the kitchen is small, tables aren't always picked up - don't let it get you down. Just relax and have a good time. (it would actually be nice to have bus bins out....)
- the drink specials on the menu are great, especially the signature Bye and Bye cocktail served in a mason jar.
- Straight Edge bar-goers (or minors) can enjoy the Floor Punch "cocktail" also served in a mason jar.
- minors are allowed until 9pm.... although it is a bar, and really not the place for you to get shnokered while letting your darling monster tear the place down. Unless they are well-behaved and well-rounded older kids (or your 19 year old buddy) I wouldn't even think of bringing them by. It makes it uncomfortable for them and everyone else in the place.
- no smoking.... heck yeah!
- back patio look like it will be a dream in spring!
- lastly, I think the place could give off a "cool" vibe, but don't be intimidated about waltzing right in and making yourself at home. You may encounter some hipsters, but everyone that I have run into there (working or drinking) has been nothing but lovely and welcoming! It is your clean neighborhood bar that happens to be vegan!
I hope the owner's next endeavor will be into the world of a cozier restaurant/cafe that serves the same great drinks.... maybe in the South East by the vegan mini-mall! A nice little clean lunch spot is sooooo needed in this town.
