Enthusiastic Spouses (aka Cheerleaders) Have Happy Marriages
Last summer when my brother was getting married, I inundated him with the science of happily married couples. I wanted to give him a guide to not making the mistakes I had made. My "best woman" toast was very nearly a litany of advice. It was a bit much for him. "Why would I listen to my DIVORCED sister when it comes to managing my marriage?" he once teased, trying (in vain) to shut me up.
Well, given what I've learned about happy marriages, I think there a few good reasons to listen to me—more on that in a minute—but first, I gotta be straight with you: I was not particularly good at being married the first time around. I picked a terrific person—my ex-husband is a great guy—who was totally wrong for me in just about all the ways that count.
I try to practice what I preach, and that means practicing some things that I definitely haven't mastered yet (like using non-controlling language when I ask my kids to do things).
This is how people get good at things: They challenge themselves to the point of failure. Athletes do it. Entrepreneurs do it. Personally, I'm working on being a gold-medal parent and spouse. But that doesn't mean I haven't lost some races along the way. I made a few key mistakes in the ten years I was married to my children's father, from which I've learned a lot.
But the main reason to take my relationship advice is that it really isn't MY advice. Everything I write about is based not on my opinion, or even my experience, but on what scientific studies tell us. I'm still amazed by how insular academia is; there is so much great research out there that doesn't make its way into real people's lives—except for you, because you are reading this blog. And I'm about to reveal some good stuff.
So here begins a series on how to improve your romantic relationship. Lest you think that romance has nothing to do with raising happy kids, please think again: The happiness of your romantic relationship, whether or not you are married, is intertwined with both your own happiness and the happiness of your children.
Here is one of my favorite things that researchers have noticed that happy couples do: They yell things like "WHOO-HOO!!!" when their partner shares good news.
There are two key pieces of advice to take away from that finding. The first is that when you have good news, share it, because it will make you happier. This is Savoring 101: Positive emotions are amplified when we share them with others.
The second piece of this advice concerns how to respond to good news from your partner, and it's a key to making your relationship happier.
When your partner shares positive news with you, you don't actually have to whoop or cheer, as my mother and I are prone to do, but you do need to respond enthusiastically. It isn't enough to be positive and loving —but not particularly emotive—with your partner. Your response to good news needs to be active. Silent support doesn't count in this realm.

The Weekly Photo: Fraser Island
Fraser Island, Australia
Fraser Island, Australia
this reminds me of the train cemetary in South America.. erie
Awesome! Starts my imagination!
There's something beautiful (even though they should be an eyesore) about wrecked sailing vessels left to decay on beaches. Love this shot!
awesome! is this the boat that sunk with Fraser and his wife on it?
I just read about this island in Nat Geo mag a while ago, but there was no picture of this (used to be) boat..
How did you get to the island?
Though I always enjoy your writing Matt, I don't always love the photographs you post (DISCLAIMER: that's the consequence of making a living as a photographer, it makes you overly critical) … BUT, I really love this image!!! It interests me and makes me curious and is just a simple, well composed image. Now I want to know the story behind it!!
to the best of my knowledge Fraser Island is off Hervey Bay which is about 800 klms south from Airlie Beach which is in the Whitsunday region
WOW! This photo is amazing! There are place and things to see in the world really strange and suggestive…
Very nice photo and also location. I also looks like when the tide is up, it covers the wreck. Is that correct Matt?

Sony Reveals More PS4 and Dual Shock 4 Details
Re:Removing (242 comments)
Good point. Since they are still producing PS3s and therefore still fabbing Cell processors, some marketing genius should get them to offer a version of PS4 that includes a Cell. At a slightly higher price, of course. Then announce in advance that they will only produce a few thousand models.
Early adopters would eat that up.

News Release
Tags: gardening, tomato cages, made in america
EZ Tomato Cages are the brain storm of two friends, both fed up with purchasing tomato cages that were cheaply fabricated, weak and difficult to store.
Traditional tomato cages are short and bend or fall over when plants need the support the most. These cages will not support a plant well enough to let it grow to its full potential and keep the fruit off the ground.
EZ Tomato Cages are the answer to these problems.
There are two sizes to choose from. One size is 59 inches tall with a 15 inches inch diameter. This cage is great for the garden and has a 24 inch extension available to help support even taller tomato plants. The other size cage has a diameter of 13 inches and is also 59 inches tall. This cage is primarily used for patio containers and pots.
EZ Tomato Cage's sturdy tubular legs are extremely hard to bend and the large diameter of the legs coming in contact with the soil makes it difficult for this cage to fall over.
The tall open structure makes it easy to pick the fruit and show off the plant. No more bending over and hurting your back. Your friends and neighbors will be impressed with the size of your plants and amount of beautiful fruit.
If you are limited to a small garden area or are interested in vertical gardening, the tall vertical cage can help produce more fruit in a smaller space. You will be amazed at the amount of tomatoes that you will harvest from one plant.
If storage is a problem, then you will love the collapsible feature. These cages can collapse to less then one inch thick in a jiffy. You can hang six cages on a six inch hook and keep your area looking neat and organized. These cages will last for years and because they are constructed of galvanized material they can be hung or laid flat, both indoors or outdoors.
There are a lot of other plants that can benefit from the EZ Tomato Cage: pole beans, peas, cucumbers, just to mention a few. Many flowers also need support or will cling to the support wires. Try lilies, dahlias and more. Your imagination is the only thing you will need to find many uses for this great cage.

31 Days of Horror: I Spit on Your Grave (2010)
31 Days of Horror By Gwen Reyes on October 10, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhen the calendar page turns to October, we Rejects have only one thought: horror. To celebrate this grandest and darkest of months, we'll cover one excellent horror film a day for the entirety of the month. That's 31 Days of Horror and 31 Films perfect for viewing on a dark, chilly, October night. If you, like us, love horror and Halloween, give us a Hell Yeah and keep coming every day this month for a new dose of adrenaline. Synopsis: The greatest fear any woman has comes to fruition when author Jennifer Hills (Sarah Butler) moves to a quiet Louisiana town to complete her novel before its deadline. She took her first misstep five minutes into her supposedly pleasant stay when she brushed off the advances of the town's young lothario Johnny (Jeff Branson) at a gas station. Johnny would not stand for this type of treatment, especially in front of his two equally twisted friends Stanley (Daniel Franzese) and Andy (Rodney Eastman). After they discover the simple-minded, puppy dog of a man Matthew (Chad Lindberg) had not only been in Jennifer's rental home to fix a leak but also received a thank you peck, the men and the sexually twisted Sheriff Storch (Andrew Howard) take it upon themselves to terrorize the young woman until she breaks. Unfortunately for them, they had no idea of true, brutal terror.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: March 18, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on March 18, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr starts a new regimen of drugs that comes in a clear little pill. The guy on the street corner told him that it would unlock the full potential of his mind, and he assured Kevin it was FDA approved. Why would this guy lie to him? While waiting for the drugs to kick in, Kevin decided to take a trip across the American southwest and search for skinny little aliens with fat man voices. He knows he's safe, even if he's picked up by the cops, because he's retained a dead-sexy lawyer who runs his practice out of the back of his Lincoln Town Car.

Creamer's three-putt dropped her from red numbers, moving her to even par, three shots behind Cristie Kerr.
After the second round, Creamer spoke about how majors are won 'two-putting for pars.' It was a formula she heard Hollis Stacy used to win her three U.S. Women's Opens. Of course, that's not to say Creamer isn't interested in one-putts, only that her speed is vital in setting up the pars that ultimately win this event.

"Great apartment, fab pool ( on the cool side though)"
I would recommend the apartment we stayed in (number 48 winter gardens) to able bodied persons only as there are lots of steps around the complex (although many did have disabled ramps too in fairness). I know some would have struggled to get the luggage to the apartment for example. It was located on the third floor (with good lift in the block) and overlooked bowling green and swimming pool. Plenty of space for our family of 5 (inc. children of 15, 12 and 4). The apartment was clean and tidy. Lovely roof top facility and balcony too although we were rather nervous using them with a 4 year old. The kids loved the swimming pool facility and we enjoyed watching them from our sunloungers! The water in the pool didn't seem to be heated but it did not deter our kids from having fun.

"Definitely going back!"
Our stay at the Winter Gardens was amazing, such an experience. We went with all age groups from 7 years to 50 years and everyone had a great time, there is loads to do, accommodation was lovely, its … More

Another view from my favorite spot, on top of Blue Knob Mountain, all seasons resort, in Claysburg, Pennsylvania. I know it's at its best in winter, covered in snow and happy skiers, but all the rest of the year, it's mine alone.
Image taken May 21, 2011 with the Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm Nikon lens. My thanks to Jerry Jones of Shadow House Creations and to Florabella for the textures.blue knob, lois bryan, mountain view, landscape, spring landscape, clouds, pennsylvania, house, shed

View Full Profileterrific shot Lois. what a beautiful place and you have captured it perfectly. Great use of textures (like always)
bless your heart, Dave, thank you so much. I took a lot of shots that day … this one with the shed is one I've never gotten quite right in the past. I think I finally got the comp the way it should be. Now, I have to tell you, fuzzing up the detail of those clouds took a LOT of deep breaths … but I think the need to establish mood finally won!!! I'm really happy you liked it!!!!!
– Lois Bryan
What a joy!! Lois, it's lovely!
Robin, you sweetheart!!!!! Thank you so so much … there's nothing like standing on top of a mountain!!!!!
– Lois Bryan
Great title and great photo with such a dreamy quality. I'd live here for that view! a fave.
Hi Lenore, thank you so much, sweetie!!!! This is actually a ski resort … and the shed is used by the ski patrol and ski instructors sometimes. But situated so so perfectly. If it were me, I'd add on (a lot!!!) and make a lovely cafe out of it … that view is worth a million bucks, any season of the year!!!!!!!!!
– Lois Bryan
super shot & beautiful post work:-)
Hello, hello Jules, darling!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
– Lois Bryan
Fabulous shot Lois. Great treatment too.
Gary, you who take such amazing landscape images yourself … thank you so so much!!!!!
– Lois Bryan
Beautiful capture and editing work Lois!!!!!
Greta, thank you so much … the editing really was fun … but so hard to decide on whether or not to post as the detail in those clouds was so awesome, I really hated to lose it!!! : ((
– Lois Bryan
Wonderfully captured my friend – love to think of you up there soaking it all in….
cheers and warmest wishes from scotland
Maggie, my love, how the heck have you been?? What a joy to see you!!!!! Have you been out puttering around in your dingy See .. if you love thinking of me standing on top of a mountain in Pennsylvania, I love thinking of you in your boat, enjoying the crystal clear waters of bonny Scotland!!!!!!
– Lois Bryan
Really nice of you to say, thanks my friend. I always admire your great work, keep them coming!
laughing we can't seem to help ourselves, can we??? thank you!!
– Lois Bryan
Such a pretty scene, Lois, and I love the inclusion of all those wildflowers in the foreground. Just such perfect texture work also. Looks like such a pleasant place – full of enchantment – and, as is your usual practice, you have conveyed a storybook sort of appeal to us all lucky enough to see this gorgeous image.
Thank you so so much, sweetie!!!!!! What a truly, truly lovely thing to say!!! I was trying to do the hand-held hdr thing, but that's not easy. Fortunately, I got off several that were fine by themselves. It really is such a lovely place … and I think I like it better when the skiers and everyone else are gone and I have it all to myself!!!
– Lois Bryan
Beautifully done!!!! A really excellent capture!!!!, Bill
Hello sweetheart!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

One of the questions in the survey about non-believers joining or not joining groups asked about whether science and religion were compatible.
The question "are science and religion compatible" is nonsense, because it suffers from the fallacy of overgeneralization. Obviously, most religious believers have no problem with 99.999% of what they learn from science, otherwise they would not use cars, or refrigerators, or cell phones or plows or wheels or weather charts.
Of course, the Amish reject much of 20th century technology, but that proves my point. The Amish have decided, from the perspective of their religious views, that they do not want to integrate certain technology into their lives. The Amish do not say that the science underlying internal combustion engines is untrue, they reject the use of certain technologies because they believe that their simpler life makes it easier for them to carry out God's will. They use paint and wheels and horseshoes and textiles, all of which are the products of scientific reasoning. So the religion of the Amish is not incompatible with science.
The same holds true for creationists. Their religion is not incompatible with science. If it were, they would reject all of physics, chemistry and biology, which they don't. In fact, the YEC's spend a lot of effort trying to show that their beliefs are scientifically-based. The reason they fail, of course, is because they are arguing from their conclusions, which is a logical fallacy - a pretty common one, really, and one that even supposedly rational atheists are not immune to. To say that the religion of creationists is incompatible with science is untrue. What's true is that their religious beliefs cause them to reject specific conclusions about certain scientific phenomenon.
The vast majority of scientists hold some sort of religious belief, yet they turn out excellent results that get published in peer-reviewed journals and are used by other religionists to develop new technologies and medical products and procedures that we non-believers use every day. If you, dear reader, believe that religion and science are incompatible, then I expect you to live by your beliefs and reject every piece of technology and every industrial product in your life (including the computer you are about to use to tell me I'm full of hooey) until you can prove that the science involved in its creation was not tainted by the incompatible beliefs of religionists.
Thanks for reading.
No, some creationists do reject science, and think it's the work of the "devil." I guess that doesn't make their belief incompatible, they just don't count. And your assertion that most scientists hold some sort of religious belief is totally wrong. Quite the opposite.
Science and religion are totally incompatable! Now, let me explain. I do not know of any scientists that hold creationist beliefs. It is in error to say the vast majority of scientists hold some sort of religious belief. They may have held such beliefs as a child, but those beliefs fell away as the person became a scientist. Simply put, we do not look for quantum theory during the week and pray to a sky daddy on Sunday.
For a religionist it is all very different! You can believe in creation and the computer at the same time. In fact, you need the computer to comunicate daily and get across your message that everything is compatable with Genesis and that god is real. Some are backwards deliberately. The Amish, certain fundy groups, etc. who would not have a TV inside their houses, let alone a computer. I see the religious as living in a world where (to degrees) they have to accept the computer, but I do not see any true scientist as having to accept the sky daddy!
This is the problem and the dilemma of christians and atheists. This is why christians see atheists as thick headed and not intelligent. The christian is living in our world but cannot see why we do not accept theirs. It's as if we are all children playing and out of the blue some kid comes by saying " I don't understand why you cannot believe that Bobby is your father." As an atheist we might know what they are talking about but the logic and rationale are not there. It just does not compute.
NO, science and religion are not compatable!
The claim that scientists are not believers is an unfounded assertion. A person can easily discover that the majority of scientists are believers by actually talking to scientists about what they believe, as I have done over my scientific career of the past 15 years. Since I have direct experience with scientists who are believers and still do good science, that is, published in peer-reviewed journals and/or used as the basis for development of effective medical treatments, I would need to see proof, rather than just assertions, of the claim that most scientists are not believers.
The problem with the claim that religion and science are incompatible, as I have noted above and as has yet to be effectively refuted, is that if the claim were true, then religious believers would not be able to do science. But a quick perusal of this Wikipedia link shows that there have been many Christians who were scientists, and some of those won Nobel Prizes for their work, and, more importantly, other scientists based their own work on the ideas and efforts of believers who were scientists.
Those who claim incompatibility between science and religion can feel as badly as they'd like and make assertions until the cows come home but, as we remind theists all the time: Feelings and assertions are not proof. I've provided evidence that religionists can and do produce excellent scientific results, therefore, science and religion are not incompatible.
I've read every word of what you have said here and you have provided no evidence of anything whatsoever! I'm supposed to believe something that ME claims when I have no proof of who you are, what scientists you have studied and worked with (or under) as well as what fields you claim to be science or otherwise.
The mere claim that religious believers would not be able to do science if science and religion were truely incompatible is almost absurd! I suppose you also believe that all black people have natural abilities to sing and dance.
Let me tell you why most scientists are not believers. True scientists that is. In case you missed my assertion that scientists do not work on quantum theory during the week and pray to a sky daddy on Sunday, try this one. There is no evidence for anything supernatural! None! Zilch! Zero! A true scientist will tell you this because they need evidence. That means there is no evidence for sky daddy. None! Zilch! Zero!
EXACTLY Mike! I'm suspecting ME is a believer in Atheist clothing.
If it quacks like a believer.....
Now "the majority of scientists are believers."
I know some desendants of Jesse and Frank James. I'm going to ask them if they are bank and train robbers. I've suspected it for years.Circular logic is one thing. Flawed logic is certainly something else.
It is correct that there is no evidence for any god(s), but we all know that people who believe in god(s) do not rely on evidence for their belief, they rely on faith.
You have not shown how a person who has faith in Yahweh or any other god cannot do effective science. I showed that not only can believers do effective science, some of them are such "true" scientists (you didn't bother defining what you meant by "true scientists," so I'm defining it myself) that they have won Nobel Prizes in their field of science and other scientists, both those that believe in god(s) and those that don't, use their work to further their respective fields.
Unless you are using your own, special, secret meaning of "incompatible," then you need to make a logical case that people who believe in god(s) cannot do science that is just as good, just as "true," as those who are atheists. I'm using the definition of incompatible from wiktionary.org:
Of two things: impossible to coexist; not congrous because of differences; irreconcilable; disagreeing.
I emphasize "impossible to coexist" in the definition to show why I claimed earlier that a religionist could not do science if the two were incompatible, because it would be impossible for science and religion to coexist in their mind.
We'll start with William Henry Bragg, from the list I linked to. We'll focus on one person, whom we can all research, so that any statements by me or by you-all about who we knew or worked with do not factor into the discussion.
Wikipedia says that,"Bragg was Anglican and had a license to preach at his local church." That makes him a believer by any rational definition of the term.
He worked in analyzing crystal structure using X-rays and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915.
Rosalind Franklin used X-rays herself to analyze the crystal structure of DNA and helped Watson and Crick figure out the double helix. Since W.H. Bragg (and son) won the NP for just such work, it would not be far-fetched to surmise that she used techniques they developed. That's why people are awarded the NP: Because their work advances the whole endeavor of science.
So I just made three logical points, using two pieces of evidence and one conjecture that is very likely to be true to show that 1) W.H. Bragg was a believer, 2) He won the NP in Physics for his scientific work, and 3) other scientists most likely relied on his work to advance their own.
This shows me that Bragg was an effective scientist and that his religious belief had no negative effect on his ability to do science. Therefore, science and religion are not incompatible in the person of W.H. Bragg. If science and religion are incompatible, they would be incompatible in every case. I have demonstrated an instance where the statement "science and religion are incompatible" is false. Basic logic says that if a general statement is to be considered true, it must be true in every case. If it is false for one case, then the general statement is false.
You have two questions to answer:
1) How is William Henry Bragg not a "true" scientist?
2) How the scientific work he did incompatible with his religious belief?
Again: Your feelings are irrelevant. Your unsupported assertions are irrelevant. Hurling ad homimens at me is irrelevant. Use logic and evidence to prove your claim.
"you have not shown that a person who has faith in Yahweh or any other god cannot do effective science."
I didn't make that claim, ME. I never said that a believer could not do effective science. What I said was that a true scientist was not a believer. You can't do quantum physics today and still worship a sky daddy on Sunday. You picked a scientist from 100 years ago as an example. Maybe they were more compatible then. Faith is stagnant and cut and dried. Science moves on almost daily. Faith never changes. Science is always changing.
This is exactly why I say that no true scientist today is a believer. Science demands evidence.

Why does this natural kidney stone remedy work so well?
1) Over 85% of kidney stones are calcium-based, making them the easiest to dissolve.
2) Over 90% of kidney stones are 5mm or less (under 1/4 inch, or the size of a green pea), and this remedy has worked for people with stones as large as 1.2cm (1/2 inch).
15 Tips on How to Prevent Kidney Stones
1. Water Being continuously dehydrated is a major cause of kidney stones.
If you look at a world map showing the hot spots for kidney stones, you will see that most countries are located in either very hot
climates or where there is a shortage of clean drinking water. So a key factor in preventing as well as in passing kidney stones naturally
is being adequately hydrated. If you already have a kidney stone, it is especially important to drink as much water as possible. Most
experts recommend drinking about half your body weight in ounces of water each day. For example, if you weigh 150 lbs you should drink
75 ounces of water or about 10 cups of water per day in order to flush the kidney stone out.
2. Salt You likely already know
that refined table salt is actually toxic and can poison your kidneys, not to mention raise your blood pressure level and cause further
problems. Despite this, so many of our prepared foods have enormous amounts of sodium. Then too, so many people automatically add
salt to their food prior to even tasting it! The prudent move, therefore, would be to consciously limit salt intake. Did you know,
however, that naturally harvested sea salt has been termed a nutritious salt and will help eliminate the refined salt deposits in
your kidneys?
3. Calcium As most kidney stones are made of calcium, it was formerly believed that calcium supplements could
lead to the formation of kidney stones. However, recent studies have shown that it is low calcium levels in your body that can lead
to calcium-based kidney stones. Therefore, if your doctor has determined that you are not a hyper-absorber (over-absorber) of calcium,
it may be advisable to take a quality calcium supplement daily with meals. (Always take vitamins with meals.)
4. Magnesium A study done by the Mineral Metabolism and Endocrine Research Laboratory, Department of Surgery, University of Erlangen, Germany,
revealed that a magnesium deficiency is an indication of a disordered mineral metabolism and may contribute to the formation of calcium
stones in the kidneys. Some researchers say that contributing factors to this is the consumption of an excess of proteins and sugars
as well as not eating enough magnesium rich greens. With your doctors approval, you may want to consider a magnesium supplement of
200 mg per day with meals.
5. Potassium Studies have shown that increasing potassium levels potentially reduces the risk of
kidney stone formation. The best source, of course, is natural, increasing your intake of fresh vegetables and fruits.
6. Sugar
A high sugar intake has been linked to an increased risk of kidney stones. Eliminating high sugar foods from your diet is a great
way to help prevent kidney stones from forming, and even in helping your body to pass kidney stones naturally.
7. Spicy Foods
Research has revealed that consuming spicy foods increases the risk of developing kidney stones. One study revealed that a Fiji
tribe who ate only bland foods with no spices had far less occurrences of kidney stones compared with a similar tribe who ate the
same basic foods but with curries and spices added. So while spices can enhance the flavoring of food, if you are one who is troubled
with kidney stones, you may want to limit the use of strong spices.
8. Fiber Of extreme importance is your diet, including
getting enough insoluble fiber. A minimum of three servings of vegetables and three servings of fruit every day will help your fiber
intake, as will whole grains including rice bran, oat and wheat bran, and even fiber therapy such as Metamucil. However, if your doctor
determines that you are not absorbing enough calcium, then you may want to limit your fiber intake because it could reduce your absorption
of calcium.
9. Animal Protein Consumption of animal protein from meat and dairy products has been linked to a higher risk of
developing kidney stones. While limiting your intake of animal protein, you can increase your intake of vegetable protein obtained
through beans and nuts in order to get your required daily protein.
10. Natural Acids If a can of Coke can eat right through
a cars paint job, natural acids can do great wonders in dissolving calcium based kidney stones. This is because your bodys filter,
the liver, plays no role in acid base regulation, meaning that any natural acids that you consume will eventually make their way to
the kidneys. Many nurses and some doctors are now recommending a diet involving phosphoric acid for dissolving calcium kidney stones.
And because about 90% of kidney stones are made of calcium oxalate, this remedy has been extremely successful. Lemons are high in
citric acid and may help with preventing kidney stones.
11. Oxalate Foods It is recommended that you limit your intake of foods
high in oxalates or organic acids. These include black pepper, nuts, chocolate, strawberries, peanuts, almonds, and leafy green vegetables
such as spinach and beet greens.
12. Grapefruit Juice A report published in Science News said, Strangely, an 8-ounce glass
of grapefruit juice daily boosted the risk of stones by 44 percent. Other studies have confirmed this. Since an increased risk of
developing kidney stones is associated with drinking grapefruit juice, it would be prudent then to avoid it entirely. (It has also
been proven to interact with certain drugs.)
13. Coffee & Tea Research studies reveal varied results on the effect of coffee
and tea consumption. Some say for optimum kidney stone prevention to limit or even avoid coffee and tea, since they may have a tendency
to increase levels of urinary calcium. Other studies reveal that coffee and tea can reduce the risk of developing kidney stones by
8 and 9 percent respectively. More research needs to be done on this, but likely the key is moderation.
14. Exercise As kidney
stone development has been linked to a sedentary lifestyle, then the prudent thing to do would be to ensure you get enough exercise.
Recent studies have shown that a rigorous exercise program of 150 minutes per week, or 20-30 minutes per day should be everyones
minimum routine. Always consult your doctor prior to undertaking any rigorous exercise program.
15. pH Levels High levels of
acidity in your body can potentially extract calcium from your bones and end up in your blood and ultimately in your kidneys where
calcium kidney stones are formed. That is why it is so important to have a balanced pH level, consuming sufficient natural foods high
in alkaline to offset your bodys acidic levels.

With the temp dipping like a lot people, I changed my EDC to my auto. With summer where it is hotter than heck, I normally either pocket carry a LCP or IWB / pocket carry a J frame / LCR .38. My winter EDC here in NC is now the Sig P250 subcompact in 9mm. I know some people on here are going to cringe that OMG its got that long DAO trigger, OMG it failed the government tests way back before Sig FIXED the problems.
I originally chose the P250 because I liked the idea of the idea of switching calibers and such. I have not done so, but I would still like to get the xchange kit for .40. The second reason was because it was DAO and with my summer carry weapons I like the idea of having the familiarity of the DAO triggers.
I currently own the P250 2sum with provides a full size and subcompact setup. I also own a P250 compact in 9mm as well giving me 2 complete guns at any one time. Also my bedside pistol is the fullsize frame right now. Currently I have nearly 10,000 rounds through all my P250s without really any hiccups. Last year I noticed that I was getting some fairly light primer strikes. Although the rounds fired it did concern me a little so I sent it back to Sig to be fixed. On a side note the P250 2sum I bought was used unknown to me, the gun shop never told me or had it marked as such . When I called Sig for the work, they stated it was used however because I didnt know and they wanted to stand by their products they fixed it for me free of charge.
As you will notice in the posted pics, the subcompact frame it is the medium subcompact grip frame with the rail which I ordered from Sig. For those of you who may not know, the 2sum kit comes with the small subcompact grip frame. Previous to getting the med frame I liked the small subcompact frame but I really didnt love it. Switching to the medium frame has made all the difference in the world. I would shooting the small frame a little low, and drawing the weapon made me feel like I was going to drop it because I wasnt getting a good grip on it. The new medium frame rocks I can get a great grip out of the holster and it shoots point of aim without any issues.
There are a few things I dont like about the P250 line but none of them are show stoppers. One I would have preferred that Sig make the subcompact frame the same as the other ones like Glock as. Being able to use all the same holsters would be nice. Two adding the rail to the subcompact, kydex holsters designed for the small frame without the rail will not work with the new frame with rail. Three parts are expensive, $50 for a magazine come on now.
All and all I do think the P250 line is a solid platform now that Sig as worked the bugs out of it. For those looking for a simple pistol to carry it may be something to look into. I find that the P250s are just as accurate as any other Sig I have shot and once the DAO trigger is mastered making follow-up shots very easy. I have not had any issues running any FMJs or defensive ammo through it. I have shot most main stream defensive ammo through it before the ammo shortage without any problem. I stuck mainly to either 124 +P or 147 grain bullets including Gold Dogs, Ranger T and bonded, PDX1s, Hydra Shok, HSTs, and Golden Sabers in both weights without a problem. Im glad I tested all the defensive ammo before Sandy Hook. Days before Sandy Hook I was on an extended leave for the holidays and shot a whole lot of 9mm on my family property. With the ammo shortage Ive been forced to kind of mix ammo per magazine due to being short until recently where I selected 124g +P Gold Dots as my carry load. Second side note regarding carrying mixed ammo, hand loads, modifying weapons and such. Talking to many lawyers and judges in the course of my job, they have all stated if they get to where they are nit picking about your defensive carry loads, weapons, or modifications, etc. you have either already lost and they are trying to tack on years, or they are grasping at straws because they dont have a good case. I know there are ADAs out there that would bring it up, but they all stated that it would likely to confuse some of the non gun jurors and cost a bunch of money to hire experts to dumb it down enough to understand. They did state, that gun types and ammo may not play as big of a deal in a criminal trial, but could play a bigger part in a civil case. I do keep my weapons stock and use factory loaded defensive ammo that is used by LEOs with a track record. Some may not agree with the above statement, but that is my conclusion based on talking to various people in the criminal justice system.

"I have a dream." Ask anyone where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. first proclaimed those words, and the response will most likely be at the March on Washington in August 1963. In fact, he delivered them two months earlier, on June 23, in Detroit, leading a march down Woodward Avenue.

By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
"Imagine if we did something different." Those were just six words out of close to 7,000 that President Barack Obama spoke during his State of the Union address. He was addressing both houses of Congress, which are controlled by his bitter foes. Most importantly, though, he was addressing the country. From whose lives has the shadow of crisis passed? And for whom is this Union strong?

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

your principal, and ultimately if they do restructure, chances are the
haircut is probably not as bad as 80% ... mind you i totally agree that
Greece is a joke of an excuse for an experiment in fiscal governance...
but heck... its not a bad risk/reward concept. certainly nothing else in
euroland presents this type of opportunity. if Europe stabilizes in 2012,
I think we could see Greeek bonds pop back up to 40c... thats 100% rate of
return. Being a vulture investor we have to some times make do consuming

Subject: Re: you may have guessed my position on europe is evolving pretty
that is purely a political decision
greece can't function in modern europe - the best that can happen is that
it be permanently subsidized and at some point the germans are going to
tire of that
i would guess at some point next year or in early 2013 the greeks will be
cut off (keep in mind that the first bailout expires in early 2013) and
greece is left to sink into history
already most of greek state debt has been sequestered -- do that to the
rest of it and there's not much direct danger greece can pose

question for you at this point is -- does Greece get pulled through?
Risk/reward there is interesting and very non-consensus. I know where you
are going with your thinking... I have been pondering how a 1-2 yr
"anti-gravity" move by Eurocratz... They may be able to pull it off, and
it would spark a massive surge in the markets, leading not just to Sarko
re-election, but also to re-election of Obama as well... I am still
thinking it through, and I think there will be a confidence test in
January. If she ship stays afloat after that storm, then we may be get
clear skies into the latter part of 2012...

Dear Editor:
Pope Francis has demonstrated a desire for openness and inclusiveness. But this is not exhibited at Queens' Catholic college, St. John's University.
Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI wished that tradition, in the form of the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, be given to all Catholics. Why is this not done at St. John's, and why is the university not inclined to do it? Were both popes wrong, or is scoring the three-point shot more important?

Google Hangouts Just Got Much Better on the Desktop

The new app makes Hangouts a lot more compact; currently it's too easy to drown in chat windows.
For anyone inside the generation for which AOL was synonymous with the internet, and AIM was prerequisite to any social life at all, some pretty sad news: AOL just sacked its IM team. The old king of chat is paraplegic.
Everyone has an obnoxious instant messenger friend. If you don't, it's probably you. Our parents didn't come of age in the days of MSN and AOL, so it's unlikely that they were able to pass on the finer points of internet manners. Well, Mumma Gizmodo is here for you, baby. Now suckle from our teat of wisdom.
Does anyone use their smartphones as phones anymore? Faux pas. Text me! Send an email. Heck, you know you can even IM me, right? Oh, but you don't know what the best Instant Messaging app on iOS or Android is? That's okay. Here you go.
BlackBerry users will soon get their email fix again as RIM is finally restoring its BlackBerry services worldwide.

Tom and Kimj stare at their boards in a stupor. Lex Loser has four words circled before anyone else has even moved. Ethan gets a few in a row, and then Tom and Kimj each get one. Teresa doesn't seem to have any, but Peachy doesn't announce this -- perhaps to avoid embarrassing her. Apparently, the winning technique is to stick your tongue out and scroll your piece of chalk across the board. I'm not sure how it helps, but Lex Loser and Ethan are both doing it. Then Lex Loser has all twelve of his words, and Ethan -- who is the closest of the others -- has only six.
Lex Loser starts working on his clue; the intersecting letters are: c, h, l , a, n , v, a, a, e and the hint is "natural occurrence/ awesome power." Kimj has only got four words circled at this point, and Teresa apparently thinks there's a consolation prize for the most perfectly circled word. The editors don't even bother attempting to create suspense as Lex Loser spells out "avalanche" and Peachy proclaims him the winner. Ethan throws his chalk at the board and Tom looks sad in slow motion. Peachy congratulates Lex Loser and proclaims that it will be a "great day." The others slowly come over to congratulate Lex Loser, and Lex Loser surprises Ethan by hugging him really hard -- boa constrictor hard. Peachy then sidles up to the women and says, "Hey guys, we're gonna take a little walk." As they head off together, Lex Loser cackles, "Oh, I see wheels!" He also notices some chrome, and then demands that Peachy "get out of town!" But not in Lex Loser's brand-new Chevy Avalanche, that's for sure. Peachy tells Lex Loser it's all his and Lex Loser gets very excited. In a confessional, Ethan tells us, "When I walked around that bush and saw that big blue Chevy truck and knew it wasn't mine, I was so...like, jealous." It takes him a really long time to come up with the word "jealous." He says he was annoyed and pissed off when Lex Loser won; he tried to be happy for him, but was not. Ethan says it's difficult, and that he doesn't want Lex Loser to win anymore.
Lex Loser sits on his truck while the others stand around and look irritated. Peachy says that now it's time for the second part of the reward. Lex Loser is going to have "a great honor" in being an ambassador of good will from Survivor to Kenya. Peachy preaches to the S5 that AIDS is a huge problem in Africa, so the producers have loaded up the truck with "really special cargo." He dramatically pulls off the blanket, revealing boxes that say things like "medical dressing," "medical supplies," "surgical supplies," and "HIV test kits." I'm willing to bet those boxes were labeled so prettily by the Survivor crew. I'm surprised one of them doesn't read "Purely Motivated Good Things that Help People from Survivor." ["At this point, I sneered to my sister, 'Teresa is weeping. What the hell?'" -- Wing Chun] Peachy explains that he and Lex Loser will bring the Avalanche's cargo, along with another truckload of supplies, to Wamba Hospital, which he calls "the coolest place." Started in 1961, the hospital has lasted forty years completely funded by charitable donations. In a confessional, Teresa says that when they opened up the truck and she "saw 'HIV,'" it was emotional for her, because her brother died of AIDS. She explains that, eleven years ago when he was sick, very little was known about the disease, and the reward made her very happy. ["At this point, I felt like a really, really bad person." -- Wing Chun]
