Dad jeans: they're ill-fitting! They're man-repelling! They're generally unattractive! And they're also really, really trendy. Trust me on this one, I live in Brooklyn. Worn with a cute fitted top and a dash of irony, you'd be surprised by just how stylish and versatile they really are. (More importantly: comfortable.) These 10 pairs of dad jeans (mom jeans? boyfriend jeans?) would make a welcome, if unlikely, addition to any wardrobe…

The ultra-futuristic Dream Watch IV is a new mobile case by De Bethune that pays homage to late Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
The Dream Watch IV is one of the most refined, exquisite mobile covers that's been created for iPhone 4 users. The cover is inspired by spaceships, which certainly shows in its refined futuristic look. The exterior is constructed from beaded blasted titanium which gives it that ultra slick design. De Bethune has integrated a pocket watch on the back that has a beautiful blue titanium finish with diamonds and 18k white gold that adds a posh element.
De Bethune's Dream Watch IV is an extremely limited piece. Only 12 have been made, so I'd start searching now if you want one for yourself.

Bring back Elementz. Calling it now, Curse loses to Vulcan and Rhux goes 0-7 Edit: A real man admits when he's wrong. Rhux played awesome! Go curse!
Not guessing the assist count for a support lol
still gonna lose lol...Curse doing so bad now, makes me a bit disappointed.
Rhux doesn't play Support, so it's not surprising that he's struggling. It's one of the hardest roles to play well.
Faptain Teemo
They imploded. Bad morale on that team.
Renaito Yuujou
The way I see it is this: If anyone remembers Curse before they got Voyboy, Curse was pretty much a B team, despite having actually good players. Then they got Voyboy and became the number one team in NA for a while, and everybody attributed it solely to Voyboy, but that's not quite true. The fact is, Voyboy completed the team's chemistry. The success of team Curse is like a game of Jenga. When all the pieces are in place, it stands strong, but if you lose a piece? It all comes tumbling down. The loss of Elementz has disrupted the delicate balance that team Curse had which led to their success. I don't see them reclaiming it with Rhux.
King GrimPhenom
"bot lane may be their weak point now" lmao what was the weak point before?
Yaaaaay! They put him on Elise! Finally a champion he is actually used to. I'm still worried how he's gonna do later when he has no farm and everyone is much stronger than him though. I think his biggest problem yesterday was not knowing how to play without farm...
it's funny because Rhux rimes with Sux

Hello All,
I wanted some suggestions from u all ...my husband is having a real bad back ache every morning after he gets up ..but the pain is for a few mins ...it goes away once he has showered...i know u all must be thinking its our mattaress..but we hav tried sleeping on floor and on other side of mattaress and have also tried keeping the mattaress on floor thinking that box might have saged ...but nothing helped ... Do u think he is not sleeping right ? is there any kind of excerises tht might be useful ?he is a normal software guy and doesnt have any excercise regime .. Please help |
Follow-Up Postings:
Get him on the ground,his feet underneath him. Then have him stretch his arms forward and turn his head to the side. This is an excellent lower back stretch.It should help if he doesnt get much exercise. Also,laying down in bed,have him pull up gently one leg at a time,bending his knee to his chest and holding it there. |
- Posted by shwetagarg (My Page) on Mon, Apr 30, 07 at 14:29
wht cud be the reason ...how shud i make him sleep .. thanks for the stretches..i tried and i surly felt the stretch... |
Yoga is a best practice for which your spouse must do early and every morning. my dad is having the same issue he started sleeping on terrace every night in enough oxygen and he wake up early and start doing his yoga for an hour daily. it took about 1 month and he have seen results.. may be this can cure his problem as well and doing yoga is very effective thing which everyone should do for always being fit.. |
I would not reccoment taking that high of a dose of ibuprofen for a very long time due to the risk of ulcers. Monring stiffness is a classis symptom of arthritis. Does he have any other symptoms? Is he overweight? Has he injured the area? How old is your mattress? Is he a back sleeper, side sleeper? |
My dh is miserable with back pain. He has me put a heat patch on every night. I know what is wrong, his gut! He will never do exercise of any type, won't even walk with me. He is only maybe 5'6" 220 lbs. suffered from a heart attack years ago. He has a stent & has no problem taking his meds, that's it. I'm so tired of hearing it. That man has no core! He is 58. |

.- Shortly after arriving on the island of Sardinia on Sunday morning, Pope Benedict presided over Mass for 100,000 people at the Shrine of Our Lady of Bonaria. In his homily, the Pope challenged his listeners to help young people encounter Christ, and through this new generation of Christians, evangelize politics, the economy and the working world.
The Mass took place on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Our Lady of Bonaria, the island's patroness, a fact recognized by Pope Benedict.
He called on the faithful "to give thanks to Mary for her protection and to reiterate our faith in her, recognizing her as the 'Star of the new evangelization'."
Invoking the help of Our Lady of Bonaria, Benedict XVI underscored the need for the people of Sardinia to bring Christ "to families, small domestic Churches and cells of society." Families "today more than ever need trust and support at both a spiritual and social level," the Pontiff added.
If Sardinian society is to be renewed, it must come from young people who "by their nature are bearers of fresh energy," he continued. Turning to Our Lady again, the Pope implored her help for the Sardinian church in developing new initiatives to reach the young, who "are often victims of a widespread nihilism."
With Mary's intercession, "May she help you evangelize the world of work, of the economy and of politics, which needs a new generation of committed lay Christians, capable of seeking solutions of sustainable development with competency and moral rigor," the Pope prayed as he closed his homily.
At the end of the Eucharistic celebration, Benedict XVI performed an act of consecration to Mary which concluded with the gift of a golden rose to Our Lady of Bonaria.

With certified instructors and ample tumbling space, GymQuarters Gymnastics transforms typical tots into agile energy machines. Classes designed for kinderlings and younger (or home-schooled children of all ages) introduce lithe lads and lasses to the vault, uneven bars, balance beam, floor, and trampoline. A special tumble track is also available to host tiny flippers in a safe, grandparent-approved environment. Classes begin with 15 minutes of sinew-warming stretching, followed by three 15-minute rotations on gym equipment. As gymnasts master foundational skills, they can catapult into the next level of body-bending virtuosity. Sessions take place during the day between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. seven days a week; customers can schedule class by phone at a time that is convenient for them.
If there's anyone who knows about endurance, it's Daryl Doran. Over more than two decades, Daryl chalked up 827 professional indoor soccer games?the most of any player in the sport's history. Now retired from playing (but still coaching with the St. Louis Ambush), Daryl hasn't stopped sprinting toward his ambitions. Together with his wife, Barb, Daryl runs Doran Fitness as a non-intimidating, low-pressure center where people of all ages and fitness levels can discover their own physical fortitude.
Along with individual or group personal training, the gym's instructors can help people train for everything from high-school sports to marathons. To help with the variety of training, the clean, upscale facility includes both basic circuit-training equipment and functional training machines that help athletes train for specific sports.
The artists at Wine and Canvas awaken their students' inner Rembrandts and Van Goghs with classes that pair a featured painting with specialty cocktails and wines. The mobile studio's monthly calendar includes themed classes in which instructors expound on the nuances of painting Parisian street lamps, Japanese flowers, or Venetian cityscapes. The master painters—many of them local artists—provide step-by-step instructions while students mimic each stroke and periodically dip their brushes into glasses filled with crimson cabernet. Each of the studio's various drink-friendly venues boasts a specialty libation selected to incite creativity or conversations with fellow painters. When the artistic frenzy concludes, students return home with a finished masterpiece large enough to conceal any wall safe or mirror portal.
Snap Fitness's around-the-clock gyms enable members to work on their physical well-being with a cornucopia of fitness equipment. With 24-hour access, members don't have to let The Man tell them when to help themselves to Snap's strength and cardio equipment, which features built-in TVs and other media diversions. For those who exercise during conventional hours, Snap's friendly, unintimidating atmosphere welcomes patrons of all ability levels, unlike schoolyard dodge-ball squads. Members also enjoy nationwide access to all Snap Fitness locations, ideal for working out while traveling.
For a dose of custom advice, patrons can seek out a personal-training session with a certified coach, who helps them assess and address their fitness goals. Clients reap the benefit of individual attention as a personal trainer helps them tackle weight loss, prepare for an arm-wrestling competition, or unveil the mysteries of arcane cable-weight machines.
• For $63, new members get a two-month household metro membership plus joining fee (a $252 total value). • For $42, new members get a two-month adult metro membership plus joining fee (a $166 total value). • For $15, current members get $30 toward a class or program.
As they enter the training circuit at Curves, female guests come face-to-face with the smiles of other women. And just as points on a circle share a common distance from the circle's center, workout participants share the experiences of those nearby by trading stations throughout the 30-minute training session. Thirty seconds is spent on a piece of strength-training equipment built for feminine frames and designed to work two opposing muscle groups with a single movement. Exercisers then move on to a recovery station, where they run, jog, or dance to maintain heart rates and keep platforms in place during momentary losses of gravity.

2015: this year is going to be BIG!
I don't know about you – but I have some BIG plans for 2015. I always make a point to set goals for myself for the year – some personal, some professional. Naturally, I've written them down in my Erin Condren Life Planner so I have it with me at all times. Duh. I refer to it often – just to remind myself of what's ahead. We are midway through first month of the year and I feel like I'm starting off strong. Hoping the same can be said 6 months from now too.
It helps to have people in your life to help support you through the year as you tackle your goals. Do you have people you can rely on? I know I do. And I can't imagine taking on my BIG plans for 2015 without my support system to help back me up when I fall – and I know I'm going to fall. Also – I need to be held accountable so it helps to have friends to check in with regularly.
Sophia even wrote goals for the year. I've always explained to her that it's important to list out things you want to accomplish for the year. In the past she's always asked me to help. This year she wrote her own in the back of her sketch book. {She's growing up a little too fast for my liking.} I was pretty impressed with what she came up with.
They are only five – but they are a solid five in my opinion. I'm personally very proud of #2. She wants to read FIFTY books this year! Makes me a proud mama.
So, do you have BIG plans for 2015 too? Tell me about them!

Christmas is just a few days away and I am slowly coming to the realization that I am not as ready as I thought I was. What the hell have I been doing?! There are presents to be wrapped, cookies to be baked (and certainly eaten), last minute items that still remain to be purchased…AHHHH!!! I'm starting to panic a little. I'm usually finished and settled into a beautiful routine of wrapping and movie watching by now. Clearly, I'm behind schedule and while I am good at procrastination this is not a time I am comfortable with it. There have been a few small panic attacks but I've managed to give myself a small pep talk – Get your head out of your ass, Sarah! It's time to put this operation into high gear!
Now I must focus. Are you ready?
PSA: I'm annoyed
I troubleshoot problems for a living – in all my roles. And as a result I encounter all kinds of people in my day to day – those who think they know what they are doing but really have no idea, the genuinely clueless, the helpless, the hopeless, the over thinker… you get the idea. I feel as though in the past few weeks – I've run into the most obnoxious kinds of people that I found myself with headaches and twitchy eyes. I felt like I was having some sort of allergic reaction to their ineptitude. It was TOO MUCH.
So I'm here to provide a public service announcement for my sanity and the safety of those who are forced to deal with me. The following shit annoys the shit out of me:
People who ask for help and then argue with you. Seriously? DO NOT ask for my assistance and then have the audacity to argue with me about the solution of I've provided. I don't care who the hell you think you are – that shit is rude as hell. Don't be an ass hole. Didn't your mother teach you better?
People who do not know how to silence their phones. We live in a smartphone age and I too am entirely dependent on my phone. But in the movies, office, at the doctor's office – I am respectful enough to put my phone on silent. Frankly, if you do not know how to put your phone on silent you don't deserve to have the damn thing. I also reserve the right to take a meat hammer to your phone after it's made this obnoxious fairy sound 8 times in a row while I'm trying to work. I'll gladly return it to you in… in 1000 pieces but don't be butt-hurt. This could have been prevented if you'd put your fucking phone on silent.
People who think they are funny but are really just shitty human beings. I could write a book on how upset and disappointed I am with humanity. We've turned to torturing animals and posting videos about it on YouTube because it's allegedly hilarious. What the fuck is wrong with you people? This is unacceptable and people posting, liking, reposting this garbage makes my blood boil. I'm not the only one who has sense to find this fucking stupid. Lauren at Closer to 30 did too! Read about how mad she is in her latest post.
Rude ass sales people. I get it – you have a deadline to hit. I do too. I own a small business with my husband and sell Scentsy on the side. And maybe I'm just different but I don't believe in guilting people into buying things from me. That's just not how I do business. If I've politely turned your offer down, it's likely because I'm not interested, can't afford it, don't like what you're selling, or don't like YOU. I will remain civil the first time or two – but time 381? I will bite your head off! Also – DO NOT come to my door with shady antics and expect me to respond well. I'm all for local organizations and school kids (especially girl scouts – this fat girl has a cookie problem) but if you show up and refuse tell me who you are affiliated with, ask me what I do for a living and if I have children – it's likely that I will ask your ass to get off my property and exercise my right to bear arms. And not necessary in that order. Oh and then start cussing at me? Don't even go there. I do live with a big burly black man (aka the Mr.) and if you think I'm scary…. you don't even know.
Prank callers. How is this even still a thing? Just stop.
People who talk on the phone in public restrooms. There should be a law against this level of unsanitary behavior. One – you are in public restroom, likely with strangers and or people who don't like you (such as myself). Two – you are now subjecting your caller to your bodily functions as well as anyone else's in the close vicinity. While you might be close enough with Betty Sue to take her to pee with you – I don't know her from Adam. I'm not the kind of person to share my urine with just anyone. Three – public restrooms are disgusting. I would know – I swabbed a few in college for microbiology lab just to see what kind of nasty bacteria I could grow. So you use your phone while dropping a deuce (no no no – don't deny it, unfortunately, I was witness to this) or going pee, cleaning oneself (we only hope)… all the while switching your phone between your hands. And then you wash your hands and look at me like I'm nuts for giving you my I'm judging the shit out of you face (no pun intended). Disgusting. You should be ashamed of how foul that actually is and know that once I've seen you do this – you are forever deemed the "sharticle talker."
I expect better of human beings but apparently I've set my expectations too high. IF these are things you are known for, please avoid me as it's likely I will chew you out.
Overheard: In the car to Columbus…
Last weekend I ventured out to columbus with Sophia and her bestie, Isabella, for trip the American Girl store. Don't ask me what I was smoking – I have no idea. At any rate, I let Sophia play music from her iPod the whole way down so the girls could rock out (to kid appropriate music, of course). During the shuffle of Happy, Burn, and Wake Me Up – MJ's PYT came on. I'm jammin' and driving because this is my favorite MJ song and overheard….
Isabella: Who is this?
Sophia: It's Michael Jackson! (almost astonished someone would ask such a question)
Isabella: Isn't he dead?
(long pause – clearly my daughter is thinking of how best to approach such a sensitive subject)
Sophia: Yeah he died. But he's a music legend!
(insert huge mom grin here)
THAT'S MY GIRL!!!! Yes, MJ is a music legend and my 8 year old knows it. I'm not going to lie – I was pretty happy about Soph'a answer. And when Rock With You and Thriller came on later, she sang along even though her bestie wasn't as into it. I love that she didn't just flip to the next song when her friend questioned her music choice. She held her own. It's okay to like different things. It was small but noteworthy.
If nothing else – I've raised her to have excellent taste in music.
Dear Lilith
Dear Lilith,
I wanted to drop a quick note to thank you for the life lessons you taught my little girl today. Sometimes there are no better teaching moments than the present and you, my road rage friend, provided me the perfect parenting opportunity. As you drove dangerously close to my car for two plus miles, rudely honked at me at traffic light and then sped off in 35 MPH zone – you helped me highlight to my little girl in the back seat that people can be rude and careless. And that just because you had somewhere to be, didn't mean it was safe or okay for you to behave like that in a car. That's how people get in accidents or killed. Recklessness.
While I'm sure wherever you were going, Lilith, was beyond important it justified these actions – please note that you do not own the road and the cars will not part like the Red Sea for you. We all have places to be and people to see. And I (possibly unlike you) would like to get my family there safely. It could be that you had one too many mimosas at brunch or that your cardigan was draped a little too tightly around your shoulders that it was cutting off oxygen to your brain… all very possible explanations. Either way Ms. Juke-Vanity-Plate I appreciate the teaching opportunity you provided me. The chance to highlight the kind of driver/person I don't want my daughter to grow up to be. So for that I am grateful. Thank you Lilith.
Warmest regards and safe driving,
Month One
Month one into my weight loss adventure down. Phew.
It's been an interesting 30 days with a variety of changes but I've committed myself to a low calorie life style, tracking my activity on my Fitbit Flex and keeping up with my food/calorie intake using MyFitnessPal (MFP). What's awesome is that my Fitbit and MFP link to one another. Each day as I'm active – my calories burned are added to my allowed calories so I don't over eat and remain accountable. Best of all, I can eat whatever I want – in moderation of course.
In terms of exercise – I've been embracing the Spring weather Ohio is actually experiencing and taking my pups for walks. MyFitnessPal has a sister app – Map My Walk – that's easy to use. I simply turn it on when I leave the house and it keep track of my pace, distance, laps, etc. AND – brace yourself for this awesome sauce – it synchs with MFP and my Fitbit. BOOM. How efficient is that?!
April has proven to be successful. I struggled no doubt and still am. But this month I've managed to wear two pairs of pants I haven't worn in over two years, gotten on the scale and seen numbers actually decrease for a change and even broke into a decade of numbers I haven't seen in a long ass time. I've already learned that I can't eat the way I used to and when I do I pay some serious consequences. And while I am Egyptian – my stomach no longer is. I've had good days and bad days. Hell, I've even eaten my feelings. But I'm a month in, I've made progress and I feel good about the progress I've made.
Don't get me wrong, I have a looooong way to go. It's going to be a struggle but I know this is something I have to do. I'm taking it one day at a time, one pound at a time, one good food choice at at time…
I'm one month into my weight loss adventure and 10 pounds down.
The 7 Commandments for a BIG Girl
I'm a big girl. No doubt about it. I'm attempting to make myself more of a fit girl but in the meantime, I have to share the things I've learned about big-girldom (yes, I made that up just now).
These are the 7 commandments for a BIG girl… in no particular order.
- Thou shalt wear a brazier that fits thy bosom. Just because you can get the bra on doesn't mean it's the right fit. If you are popping out (literally) of your bra or the girls exploding out the bottom or sides of your bra – you need help. Also – the bra shouldn't being leaving scars on your skin. It's meant to be supportive, not cut off your circulation or make you bleed. Get sized at a big girl store. Victoria's Secret bras weren't meant for the well endowed, honey, so go ahead and give up that dream. Now come to terms with your measurements and try on a variety of bras till you find the perfect one. Don't act like you know what you think you need. You don't. You should go for sexy but functional. No need to look like your grandma. And the girls should be up but not to the point it looks like you are swallowing them. That's just not cute. Find the right bra, in the perfect fit and buy every single one you can. It's like water or air… an absolute necessity.
- Thou shalt not buy shoes thy cannot walk in. Do not be the big girl that stomps around the office because you can't walk in your heels. That just makes you the fat girl on stilts. It's just not okay. I am not saying you must only wear flats, rather that you should buy heels you are able to walk in naturally. If you can rock the 8 inch hooker heals and not look you're about to fall flat on your face… then YOU GO GIRL! But if you need to wear the more subtle 2 inch wedge, there is no shame in that.
- Thou shalt not wear pants that give thyself a muffin top. This is unacceptable… not matter your size… PERIOD.
- Thou shalt carry emergency deodorant/baby powder. Is there much explanation needed here? We sweat and occasionally chafe. If you a paranoid about it then you are in for a miserable day. Come prepared and put your mind at ease. It gives you just a pinch more confidence and sometimes that's all you need.
- Thou shalt not wear a bikini. I'm not saying big isn't beautiful. What I am saying is be tasteful. If there is a string holding up your bottoms, it shouldn't be a mystery! If you like being tan everywhere (no judgement here) then get yourself a membership at a nice tanning salon and spare the show at the pool.
- Thou shalt buy clothes from a store that carries thy actual size. Do not be the big girl in Forever 21 looking at XS dresses. Just don't. This is only acceptable if your friend with you wears an XS. Otherwise, there is no shame in going to a store that carries double digit sizes or plus sizes and finding clothes that actually fit you. If the clothes fit right, you'll feel good in them. Trust me, I've battled this for years and once I gave in – it made all the difference.
- Thou shalt never settle for less. Just because you fall into the big girl category doesn't mean you should short change yourself life experiences. You can do everything all those other women out there can do. Do not give up on yourself. If you don't like yourself, then change.
Proud Parenting Moment
Halloween is upon us. And when you have a 7 year old – it's pretty much a once a month subject starting the day after the previous Halloween. For those of you who haven't gone through this yell because your kids are too young or you don't have kids yet… you just wait (squinty eyed I wish you the hell I am going through face).
For months my daughter has rattled off costumes ideas.
(In the car)
Sophia: Mama, what should be I be for Halloween?
Me: Sophia, it's almost Christmas. Can we discuss this after Santa visits?
Sophia: I think I want to be a witch.
(In the morning before school)
Sophia: Mama, I know what I want to be for Halloween! A cat!
Me: Sophia, it's not even Spring break yet. Let's talk about this closer to October.
(Stalling before bedtime…as usual)
Sophia: What's better – a dog, zebra, or lion?
Me: What's this for?
Sophia: Halloween!
Me: You've been a lion before.
Sophia: A pig?
Me: You've been a pig too.
Sophia: Hmmmm ok.
(In line for ice cream)
Sophia: Mama! Mama! Mama! I know what I want to be for Halloween!!!!!
Me: Oh yeah? What now?
Sophia: Harry Potter!!!!!
Me: (biggest cheesiest smile in the entire world!)
Sophia: Or I could be gumball machine…
Though it was short lived – it was still a very proud parenting moment. I'm pretty sure angels were singing at the very moment. I am raising my daughter to be a Harry Potter geek just like her father and me. Other kids are taught about football teams and being forever loyal – no matter how bad their team stinks. But my kid? She's loyal to the 7 greatest books and 8 movies about the greatest books ever written. Not going to lie… I may faint with pride on the day she asks that we read the first book together. Just sayin'.
My bluntest conversation yet…
Brushing my teeth tonight, I stood in the mirror looking at myself…with complete disappointment.
Well hello there, Sarah.
Hi. {Keeps brushing teeth to avoid eye contact.}
I see you are your same chubby, disgusting self.
Well, I am working on it… sort of.
Are you? Because I'm not seeing much of a change.
If by working on it you mean eating your feelings then YES you are definitely working on it.
Ouch. {Spit}
How many excuses have you made today alone to get out of logging your WW points or getting up to exercise?
I know I know. I suck.
Yes you do! You are a lazy piece of shit!
I mean that's a bit harsh, don't ya think? {Keeps brushing}
Oh did I hurt your big fat feelings?
Kind of…yeah.
Well, get over it! What you are doing is making stupid excuses and you're only letting yourself down. If you aren't going to put forth the effort, that's fine by me. But you'll just forever be the fat wife/mother/sister/coworker/friend.
You're right. {Mouth full of tooth paste}
Of course I'm right! I'm you, stupid.
{Smirk, spit}
And no one feels sorry for you because you've only done this to yourself. You are FAT because of you! F.A.T. There! I said it.
You're right! This is my fault. I can't blame this on anyone but myself. What the hell am I doing? {Brushing more vigorously now.}
Nothing, that's the whole point of this conversation, idiot!
But what if…
What if what? You fail? Any attempt at this point would better than another secret Reese's pumpkin.
{Eyes nearly pop out of my head.}
Yes, I know about those.
{Overwhelming shame. Rinse and spit.}
So what if you fail? So you lose 5 lbs instead of 10. Something is better than nothing. At least you'd be making progress, putting forth effort, attempting to better yourself. Your butt would be 5 lbs lighter! It would be a miracle!
My butt could be smaller.
Ya think?
{Begins flossing to avoid the obvious.}
All I am doing is saying what clearly needs to be said. You are fat. If your loved ones won't tell you, I will. Now get up and do something about it!
But I hate trying and trying and never getting anywhere.
Did you expect this to be easy?
Well if I…
Shut up! Well nothing moron! This is going to be one of the hardest things you've ever attempted to do in the history of your 20 some years of life. And it's going to take time. You are just going to have to deal with it, tubby.
Why all the attitude and name calling?
Because you need it. Someone needs to sass you to the point you are willing to do whatever it takes to prove them wrong.
{That you-make-a-valid-point-but-I-hate-you-for-being-right look.}
You need to make a change. Embracing your chubbiness isn't working anymore. You'll probably never be a size 3/4 again…. and that's okay. You don't need to be that skinny. But let's get down to single digit pant sizes. OK? At least that would be healthy. At least you wouldn't ashamed to be out with your family or paranoid of the way your clothes fit you.
{Nodding – mouth full of mouth wash.}
Can I take it one day at a time? Otherwise it gets REALLY scary and overwhelming.
You know for someone tends to be pretty strong-willed – you act like a pansy when it comes to this stuff.
Yeah, not my strength. {Gargle, spit.}
Fine. One day at a time. But don't crap out of me when you've had one bad food day or weigh in. This is going to be an ugly battle. Things may get worse before they get better… and don't kid yourself, that one week a month is going to be a REAL bitch! But you have to power through…
OK! So we'll start on Wednesday?
{If looks could kill.}
What? It's my weigh in day!
Did I not just tell you about what a fat ass you are? Have you seen yourself naked lately? Yeah… that's what I thought. You WILL start tomorrow! No matter what.
Fine. I hate it when you're right.
I know. Most people do.
Good night.
Good night Sarah.

Speech Preparation #1: How to Prepare a Presentation
Proper preparation prevents presentation predicaments!
Speech preparation is the most important element to a successful presentation, and also the best way to reduce nervousness and combat fear.
The Speech Preparation Series is a series of articles examining each of the six steps which are necessary to properly prepare for a speech.
These steps are briefly introduced here, and investigated in more depth in later articles:
- How to Prepare Your Presentation
- Select Your Speech Topic
- Plan Your Speech Outline
- Writing Your First Draft
- Editing Your Speech
- Add Speech Impact with Rhetorical Devices
- Staging, Gestures, and Vocal Variety
- Practicing Your Presentation
- Self-Critique: Preparation for Next Time
- Winning a Toastmasters Speech Contest
1. Select a speech topic
This may seem like an easy task, but there are infinite public speaking topics. How do you choose the right one? How do you select a topic which is a perfect fit between you and your audience?
Your topic leads to your core message — the entire presentation aims to deliver this core message to your audience.
The second article in this series focuses on selecting a speech topic.
2. Create a speech outline
Your speech needs structure. Without structure, your audience will either wonder what your core message is or they will lose interest in you entirely. Sadly, this step is often skipped to "save time." A planned outline is vital.
The third article in this series shows how to craft a speech outline and provides several examples.
3. Write the speech
Speech writing is an iterative process which begins with your first draft. Writer's block can handicap speakers at this stage. The fourth article in the series discusses how you can avoid that trap to write your first speech draft.
Once the first draft is created, speech writing involves iteratively massaging your speech into its most effective form. Keeping your ego in check, you are wise to edit mercilessly. The fifth article in the series shows you how to edit your speech for focus, clarity, concision, continuity, variety, and impact.
Remember that speeches should be written for the ear; adopting figures of speech will keep your speech from sounding like an essay or legal document. The sixth article in the series shows you how to add impact and beauty to your speech with rhetorical devices.
4. Apply gestures, staging, and vocal variety
At this stage, the words are ready, but that's all you have — words. A presentation is not read by the audience; it is listened to and watched.
The seventh article in the series explains how to choreograph your speech with vocal variety, gestures (micro movements), and staging (macro movements). These elements should seamlessly complement your words and punctuate key phrases.
5. Practice and solicit feedback
Great speakers seem natural when they speak, almost as though they are speaking the words for the first time. Nothing could be more wrong. Rehearsing your speech makes you a master of the content. Soliciting feedback and acting on it gives you confidence that your presentation will be a success. The eighth article in the series explains how to achieve maximum benefits from your rehearsal time.
6. Self-Critique: Prepare for the next speech
Although listed as the final step in the process, it's really the first step in preparing for your next speech. After you've delivered your speech, examine your performance objectively. This will solidify lessons learned as you prepare for your next speech challenge.
The ninth article in the series provides examples of questions to ask yourself as you critique your own speech.
The article series concludes with advice aimed at preparing to win a Toastmasters speech contest.
See the Six Steps in Action
Throughout this series of articles, I'll be showing you how I applied these steps when preparing for one of my own speeches. My hope is that these practical examples will help you apply the techniques to your own personal presentation.
The speech I'll reference is an inspirational speech I prepared and delivered for the Toastmasters International Speech Contest in 2007 titled Face the Wind.
Watch it now, and then read the articles to see how a short conversation with a friend months earlier led to this speech.
I would like to thank Chuck Denison for allowing me to use the Face the Wind video for this article series. Chuck has been the videographer for all recent Toastmasters District 21 contests. Videos are produced by Golden Memories Video Productions and available from him [email]. Chuck provides services to speakers who wish to produce a video to enhance their marketing strategy. On top of all that, he's very friendly and professional.

Possessing the right blend of features and design, the G3 finally gives LG the right phone with which to challenge Korean rival Samsung.
While it will begin to cede its position to the PS4 in 2015, the PlayStation 3 still delivers impressively strong value for gaming and video entertainment.
Asus' new laptop-and-tablet is wondrously thin with a super-sharp 1440p screen. We went hands-on at Computex in Taiwan.
Pricing not available
The Asus Transformer Book T100 revives the Netbook value proposition (and Netbook usability issues) in a budget-price 10-inch laptop that doubles as a tablet. You won't love it, but for sheer bang for the buck, it's hard to beat.
The successor to the Oppo N1 skips a number and comes with an updated design and features -- including a motorised, rotating leatherette camera. No, really.
One of last year's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy.
With Asus' slickest user interface yet, included keyboard, and a competitive starting price, the small but chunky Transformer Pad TF103 is an attractively affordable tablet hybrid.
The Parrot MiniDrone Jumping Sumo gives you a ground-level look at your environment as it spins and jumps at your command.
The 10.1-incher fails to capture the imagination or excitement of its fellow Computex 2014 tablets.
Pricing not available
The Windows and Android phone, tablet and notebook combo aims to please even the most fussy user by packing everything you need (bar iOS) into a 12.5-inch device.

Billing Changes for Gardasil Vaccines
May 30, 2012
Starting 6/1/2012, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) age guidelines for billing the Gardasil vaccine will be updated in MIHMS.
When appropriate, please use the SL modifier for State-supplied vaccine as indicated below: - For males and females ages 9-18 years, providers should bill 90649-SL with a zero charge. MaineCare will reimburse the admin charge 90471 based on the Usual, Customary, and Reasonable (UCR) fee schedule. - For males and females ages 19-20 years, providers should bill 90649 with your charge and without the SL modifier. This requires a Prior Authorization (PA) and documentation that the member started the series prior to turning 19.
- Once the member turns 21 years of age, this service is no longer covered regardless of whether the member has completed the series of shots and/or if they have a PA in place.
If there are any questions about this change, please contact Provider Services at 1-800-321-5557.

Rankin retires after stellar career
By Kyle Salomon,
Every once in awhile a person comes along who has the ability to change a high school athlete's life.
Mustang High School is losing one of those people to retirement this year as head wrestling and girls tennis coach Dave Rankin is officially stepping down after 39 years of teaching and 30 years of coaching at the high school level.
Rankin said when he was hired to be the head wrestling coach at Mustang High School, he couldn't have imagined how much he would love it.
"One thing teaching and coaching helps you become is adaptable. When you are out there competing as a wrestler, you have your own style, your own way of doing things. But when you are a coach, you have to be able to teach multiple styles and handle many different personalities."
Rankin has coached many All-Americans and All-State wrestlers in his time with the Bronco grapplers. He has been responsible for three-fourths of the All-Americans and All-Staters Mustang has employed on the mat.
Rankin coached three national champion wrestlers in his career. Matt Bean was a four-time national champion, Mark Allen won the national championship two times and Tony Ellison was a two-time national title winner as well.
Rankin also was a sparring partner in the 1990s with eventual Olympic gold medalist Kendall Cross, who was a Mustang native.
"I have had the honor of being around some great people in wrestling in my career," Rankin said. "A lot of those guys were so talented and driven, I don't want to say it was easy coaching them, but it didn't take a lot of motivating on my part to get them to get after it."
Rankin said wrestling is one of the toughest sports to coach because it's so mental.
"Wresting is like a street fight with rules. It is 80 percent mental. As a coach, you almost have to be like a psychologist out there. You have to know how a wrestler thinks and what will give him that mental edge he needs to be successful."
Rankin was a three-time state champion at John Marshall High School where he graduated in 1970. He received a full-ride wrestling scholarship to the University of Oklahoma. Rankin helped the Sooners win a national championship on the mat in 1984.
Rankin went into coaching right after his collegiate career was completed. He started his coaching career at Moore High School as an assistant on the staff. He spent two years at Moore before being hired by Mustang as the head coach in 1977.
In his first year with the Bronco grapplers, Rankin led the team to a seventh-place finish in the state tournament. In his second season, he took them to a second-place finish and was awarded Coach of the Year in the state for wrestling.
In 2013, Rankin was selected as the Large-School West All-State wrestling coach. He led the West team to a win against the East side in a highly competitive dual.
"Getting to coach kids of that caliber was a lot of fun," Rankin said. "I coached them like they were my own kids. It was an honor to be there. We all had that competitive spirit flowing and we wanted to come out on top in that competition."
For the last seven years, Rankin has been the girls tennis coach for Mustang. He said coaching girls tennis following the wrestling season was like a breath of fresh air.
"The mentality is just so different. The girls are really fun to work with and they really work hard. I wish I would have coached tennis every year in my career."
In his time as the head girls tennis coach, Rankin has led the Lady Broncos to 30 tournament victories, 15 runners-up and eight third-place finishes. The girls tennis squad has also maintained a 3.87 GPA under his watch, including winning the academic state title in 2007.
Rankin said he wants to be remembered as a coach who taught life lessons such as a great work ethic, mental control and good citizenship.
When asked what he would miss most about coaching, Rankin emphatically said one word.
"Competition. I thrived on competition, watching the kids take what they did in practice and see it turn into wins was a special feeling."

Seth Balliett is a seasoned veteran of torn-paper portraits. One of his latest works is "Words of Hope." This collage is entirely comprised of articles and headlines about the 2008 presidential campaign from Time Magazine (February-September 2008), torn and arranged to form a portrait of Barack Obama. The artist wanted to "recount HOPE this campaign has instilled in many Americans."
The Papertocanvas website allows the viewer to move a magnifying glass to read the actual lines the artist chose. 10% of the proceeds of the limited-edition print goes to the Obama for America fund.

Permeable paving: Good for the environment and your landscape
(Read article summary)Less runoff, replenished groundwater levels, and tax savings are a few of the reasons why your home needs permeable paving.
Photo courtesy of Mary-Kate Mackey
Recently I traveled to Atlanta as a speaker for the Southeastern Flower Show. It was a beautiful and informative three-day show, with astonishing entries from both the Garden Club of America and the National Garden Club, competing in many categories. There were idea-gathering display gardens, fabulous photography and vendors offering everything from bulbs to complete designs.
However, among all this beauty, one of the most popular places at the show was along the back wall, an area dedicated to the mundane and practical aspects of water conservation. By the time I checked it out, much of the literature was gone — showgoers' response had been unprecedented.
As well it should be. With the Southeast's recent history of prolonged drought, followed by inundations of rain and snow, water conservation has moved front and center for its gardeners.
Let the rain pour through
At my first stop, I learned about permeable paving and why we homeowners need it. Using a paving that water can soak through allows you to recharge groundwater on site, said masonry promotions manager Tom McCarty of the Georgia Masonry Institute. That means you don't have to create extra swales, ditches, and/or piping to move the water away into storm drains.
Or you could gather the water from under the paving and move it to a storage tank. Depending on where you live — I know this is true in parts of my home state, Oregon — not having storm-drain discharge can also save you money in taxes.
Another bonus — the tiny holes in the porous paving conduct air up from the cooler earth underneath, thus lowering the temperature of the concrete on hot days. Cooler concrete around your house means the ambient air is not as hot, which, in turn, could make a difference in your air conditioning expense. And the plants along the edges of your paving, whether it's a driveway or a garden path, won't fry or need as much supplemental watering.
