*Marriage Has Been Perverted!*
Submitted by Reconstituter001 on Wed, 06/26/2013 - 12:48Since 1215... when the Government of the United Kingdom (such a likable bunch!), created the requirement for a *public* announcement in a Christian parish (no longer recognizing private marriages) as requested by the Roman Catholic Church, setting the stage for our modern day definition of marriage.
Before this point "marriage" was a *private* binding contract often between clans (families) to form alliances. A "dowry" (cattle, land, precious metals, soft toilet paper or whatever else was considered to be valuable at the time) was passed between the clans. Marriages "of love"(gay or straight)have existed for thousands of years as well(more so in prosperous times/areas where alliances between families were not needed to survive brutal times).
What was done in 1215 represents the *real* perversion point in the whole marriage saga, even on a day like today, because this is when it became a public/state issue. Whether you are gay or straight inviting the government into people's private lives is always bad.
Let's face it, even after today's ruling, gays will *still* not enjoy the same rights or protections as straight people do but they may start enjoying the same tax breaks and other benefits that marriage affords everyone else, ( you know...like the benefit of being next to your partner while they're lying on their deathbed and such).
The fact is that, the day that the 14th amendment and the 1st amendment are upheld to protect *ALL* citizens will be a great day for this nation regardless of any superficial differences anyone of us share.

For What Its Worth
The market has already accepted same sex marriage, civil unions, partnerships of all kinds. People are not divided on this issue, with one big distortion.....Government !!!
Just like Jim Crow, the problems are more from over-reach of government than true irreconcilable differences by the people.
The whole issue is from granting one collective special benefits while ignoring all others. Its not just gays when it comes to probate abuse. Its not gay that bears the whole burden on the evils of inheritance laws or honoring personal contracts. Yet all this clamoring for gay rights does nothing but give the government the majority back when it comes to dictating which groups get special favors, punishing the non compliant.
Seems to me the proper response is to eliminate non-apportioned taxation and special favors to special groups. I am quite frankly disappointed in the gay activist who simply "got theirs" and left so many others in what they themselves called "oppression". I thought this community was all about a just and sustainable government protecting the rights of all, equally......seems as though they are no different than the others. Got mine !

You are a toilet bigot.
There are separate mens and womens bathrooms. I wont tolerate this inequality. Especially at a public building. I dont believe in gender differentiation and I want to know why my government allows this discrimination to continue. I will teach my kid to use whatever toilet it likes. The bathrooms should be labelled "HUMAN".

What if we DID share bathrooms?
IMO if boys and girls started sharing bathrooms at a young age it would improve communication skills between the sexes and in the long rung improve marriage success rates. Just a theory/thought.
I mean we've desegregated the races, why not the sexes?

On this issue I can only speak for myself
If I were ever to get cornered by a census taker and forced to answer questions, my response to 'are you married?' would be "NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS"
That is the same way I feel about other peoples' marriages. None of my damn business, nor would I want it to be.
The courts and government shouldn't be in the marriage racket, period.
- Login to post comments
I kind of agree.
My new position is I dont want the state to define marriage for me. I will never tell the government that I am married unless they compel me to do so. If they want to establish domestic partnership agreements and parenting agreements thats fine, but dont tell me what a marriage is. They say there is a marriage penalty on IRS. If it is the same taxes as being single, just file single.

um, right...how do you explain gay animals
did they turn against god too?
- Login to post comments
Bad logic again
Truly gay animals, animals that chose to live only with, and only attempt to mate with, animals of the same sex, would be eliminated from the gene pool by their failure to procreate.
Animals mounting anything available in a sexual frenzy is not gayness. Just animals being animals.
- Login to post comments
how exactly would they be eliminated??
straight animals are the ones producing gay offspring!
And you want to try and school ME on LOGIC?!
- Login to post comments
Why don't perfectly
Why don't perfectly functional animals produce a significant percentage of offspring with deformed or malfunctioning reproductive systems? Because messed up genitals or reproductive systems would specifically undermine not just survival in an environment, but the reproductive process itself, making it less likely that any tendency to have those traits would be passed along.
Gayness, likewise, specifically undermines the reproductive process itself. Creatures that mate with creatures they cannot impregnate or be impregnated by will not procreate. Period. Just like creatures with reproductive organs that cannot deliver or receive the proper baby making ingredients will not procreate. So any genetic tendency to be be gay (or to otherwise malfunction in procreative terms) would be far less likely to be passed along.
Not saying these things can't happen as freak occurrences. The process of evolution as it's generally understood, however, seems to rule out gayness occurring to the extend that we should reorder human behavior standards to accommodate it.
- Login to post comments
Why do you insist on puting god in a box??
who are you to know??
the fact remains that my parents, who are straight, produced me and 3 straight kids. And chances are others in my family (and outside) have also produced gay offspring, as well as straight offspring, who then produce more offspring who may or may not be gay. there is ZERO evidence for anything you wrote above.
- Login to post comments
You're not understanding the
You're not understanding the discussion. The argument is that in order for gay tendencies to occur to the extent that they override straight tendencies--at a genetic level--those tendencies would have to be passed along regularly over hundreds of thousands of years. But the very nature of the gay tendencies, since they make procreation less likely, makes this occurring very unlikely.
Therefore, you have to look to environmental factors to explain widespread gayness, and most individual cases of gayness.
Chances are, I'd say, that you were abused in some manner or have some other elements, or combination of many elements, that affected your psyche and made gayness seem like a good choice in our modern society. Exactly the sort of process that makes people choose the outlaw biker lifestyle and mindset, even when all of their siblings are "straight citizens."

I was under the impression...
Re: " even after today's ruling, gays will *still* not enjoy the same rights or protections as straight people do "
I was under the impression that in California, same sex unions had all of the same rights as marriage, and that the difference between marriage and civil unions in California was only in name, and that the push for gay marriage was more about forcing people to approve of their behavior than getting the rights that civil unions already gave them.

Here is a well thought out article called "gay is not the new black": http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/tgc/2012/07/19/gay-is-no...
Although the article is from some sort of religious web site, the arguments in the article are not religious, and there is no reason to resort to the genetic fallacy.

The gay people I know have always been that way. It is genetic.
And to the down voters, I have to assume you must have no friends or relatives who are gay or your head is just completely buried in the sand.

When are single people going to demand benefits?
Why should married people just get tax benefits, single people should get them too!
It's especially sad that people who can't find somebody to love them have to go without their benefits. Never experience children. So sad! And now they are gyped of their benefits.

I think the government needs to grant single people the legal right to marry themselves.

Excellent point! If
Excellent point! If anything, single people need tax benefits more than married couples do. A single person can work two jobs, but most single people can't make as much money as married people do.
2 incomes vs. 1 income.
Bob is single, makes $37,000 a year and rents an apartment.
Joe and Sue just got married and their combined income is $74,000. Then they have a child and buy a house.
Bob can't afford a house, but Bob pays more taxes than Joe and Sue as a percentage of his income.
That's not fair, and it's not right to penalize people for simply being single.
Never be afraid to ask simple questions.

I disagree that it's easier for married people to make money.
I disagree that it's easier for married people to make money. Single people are free to rent a room somewhere for relatively cheap, while a family needs more space, and makes cohabitation with other people more difficult. Kids are also expensive, time consuming, and restrictive in other ways. The idea that marriage leads to dual income assumes that the government will be raising the children.
You might look at it as single people aren't penalized, but rather the married people are given a benefit for a reason. Marriage adds stability to society with the raising of children and instilling them with virtues. Reproducing provides the next generation of tax payers and job creators. It's sort of like an investment for the future. I can see why childless marriage might fit into what you are saying, but marriage typically initiates a scenario where children naturally result and are provided a stable environment which is a service to all of society.

NathanAugust 1999 |
When I came out last year, I was dating a girl but we were not serious. I was attending a catholic school where relationships went as far as holding hands, and since the school was so small all the students and teachers knew all the relationships. At the end of my 8th grade year I told one of my friends I was gay. It felt like 100 pounds had been lifted from my shoulders. I then told my girlfriend, and while I was telling her a girl in my class was listening to everything we said, and by the end of the week everyone at my school knew. At first I thought "this is horrible" but most of my classmates were extremely supportive and loving.
Later that week, one of my teachers had a talk with my parents about everything. That night, my parents and I had a long talk about it. They immediately put me in counseling. The councilor was a real jerk and understood nothing I told him, so after a couple of days with that I just gave up and played along with him and told him I think I'm straight and it's just a phase I'm going through.
That was the worst thing I could have did, but it gave me time to think about the situation. It is in your favor to know everything about a situation your going through. It wasn't until a couple months ago my parents and I talked again about me being gay. After the talk my dad was okay with it, but my mother had 1,000 questions and 1,000 questions about the answers to the questions. I didn't even have the answers to some of the questions she asked me, and so took that opportunity to convince herself that since I didn't know the answer I must not be gay.
Coming out is a long process at least is for me. It is defiantly something that takes patience and great understanding. For the time being I plan to give my parents some time to think about it. Coming out is not only coming out to your parents but coming out to yourself as well.
I wish everyone the best of luck and if you have any questions or comments please e-mail them to me.

Symbian ^3 OS for smartphones is lacking in many departments
You have a lot of smartphone choices these days, whether it be an iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, even a MeeGo. While I have been a fan of Nokia hardware for some time, the Symbian software hasn't exactly been stellar. Symbian^3 was supposed to change that, well, Mobile-Review has been kind enough to offer an extensive review of the newer operating system platform. That's the good news. The bad news is that the don't sound all too happy about the new OS.
Symbian^3 is a step in the right direction, compared to the S40 and S60 variants, but it still trails well behind competing platforms. In fact, they say that Symbian ^3 is still "several generations" behind the current competition, meaning it's already handicapped before it leaves the gate. Sure, it's more aesthetically pleasing, and yes, the menus look easier to understand than Symbian builds of old. However, this new "flagship" smartphone platform is "inferior to the already existing solutions" and it can only make these other offerings look great by comparison.
At some point, I think Nokia just needs to cut its losses and jump on the Android bandwagon. This whole Symbian thing isn't working out, at least in the North American market. If you were considering an S3 phone over another, perhaps take a look at the extensive review first.
Hmm… Not a single reason given for your choice, so, apart from expressing your feelings, quite an empty article.
a fantastic post Michael.thanks for sharing it keep good working
Who are you and from under which rock have you crawled out? The image you show is not of Symbian^3 and you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Symbian^3 has a competitive UI, although not a newly created one. Wait until you see it, or, better yet, wait until you know what you're talking about.
i guess u don't know what u r talking about. have u seen android ICS.

A Quilt Story
12 comments:
Beautiful quilt story Amy. I did the same thing when one of our friends died in childbirth with their fifth baby. I felt helpless and wanted to do something. I made quilts from each of her children out of her clothing. I cried buckets onto those quilts, but it was therapeutic to sew them.
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

Leigh Claxton Founder/Owner
In the summer of 2009, Leigh Claxton started teaching floating yoga classes in Sausalito, Ca as OnBoardSUP Yoga. In addition to her many yoga and fitness certifications, she is a stand up paddle PSUPA/ASI/WSUPA certified master instructor and teaches SUP yoga and fitness classes. OnboardSUP holds certifications and teacher training on the water.
With a 20 year background in fitness and yoga, 17 years of outdoor classes of many kinds and having grown up on the water, she shares her knowledge and takes full advantage of all there is around, making the most of the many different conditions that present on a daily basis.
Lynne sought out yoga as an escape from the frenetic pace of New York City in late 90s. After several years of gentle Hatha and conquering her fear of headstand, the field was wide-open with forays into Ashtanga, Iyengar, Bikram, and Power Yoga, before settling into a regular Vinyasa flow practice in the Bay Area. She completed an RYS-200 certification with Himalaya Yoga Valley in Dharamsala India in 2010 and a 2013 certification with Leigh Claxton at OnBoardSUP Yoga in Sausalito. She teaches a well-balanced flow class that focuses on correct alignment. She loves to share the experience of yoga with others for both the physical challenge and the potential for inner peace.
Carrie started taking SUP Yoga as a student in 2011. After attending classes several times a week for a year, she became a certified yoga instructor and enrolled in our OnBoardSUP Yoga Instructor Certification Program. Most Saturdays and Sundays you can find Carrie assisting or teaching classes in Sausalito. She brings a great, positive attitude to the program and she shares her knowledge of the Bay and Sausalito with us all. She teaches in Sausalito and also at our program at 101 Surf Sports.
Arline completed her PSUPA Instructor Training through OnBoardSUP in August 2012. She is also a Certified World Stand Up Paddle Association Instructor. Arline's love of water sports began the moment she learned to swim. She later became a lifeguard and water safety instructor while attending college. She has also participated in masters open water swimming competitions. She just can't stay away from the water! Arline is a teacher by profession. It seems a natural progression for her to share her new passion for SUP. As an instructor, she melds her ability to teach and empower. She openly shares her joy for this sport that improves balance, core strength and peace of mind.
Samantha found her love for yoga 15 years ago when I moved to San Francisco. She decided to become a yoga instuctor to escape the high stress world of restaurant management. She practices yoga because it keeps her balanced, happy, spiritually connected, challenged and strong. She loves to teach because it's her passion and it gives her the opportunity to give back to others.
She completed her stand up paddle yoga training with OnBoardSUP in 2014 and is a certified yoga instructor through YogaWorks and It's Yoga, Kids.
She also spends her time running Plenty Pops, a healthy popsicle company with her sister in Mill Valley.
My yoga practice began as the result of an intervention. My co-workers at a San Francisco dot-com ganged up and told me that it would be better for office morale if I went and took a yoga class. "Yoga?! Are you kidding? Isn't that for hippies and vegetarians?" At the time, I had a mohawk hairdo and wore a lot of black. "no, no!" Said the cheerful sales-rep who shared my office, "This yoga is like boot-camp, you'll love it!". Now, 15 years after I took my first class, I teach both Power Yoga and Bikram Yoga in San Rafael at the studios I own with my husband. I've assisted Baron Baptiste on his retreats and workshops, and regularly visit at the Bikram Teacher Trainings to stay connected to my teachers and yoga peers. I have yoga to thank for making so many of my dreams come true. I teach The Yoga/Fitness with OnBoardSUP in SanRafael and love to do events and workshops in Sausalito.
Jenn is a yoga teacher and life coach passionate about people, the earth, the ocean, and the connections in-between. She has had the honor and pleasure of traveling the world as a student and as a teacher and is continually fascinated by the people, life and energy she is greeted with. Her inquisitive nature makes every moment with her feel full of possibility- within that space fresh wisdom seems to flow. This is obvious in her coaching sessions and in her yoga classes where transformation abounds. On land she teaches a lively, powerful, Baptist inspired Vinyasa class while on the water it is all about the flow. She completed her stand up paddle yoga training with OnBoardSUP in 2010. Her life's work is to help tap into their own energy and create lives of health, happiness, prosperity and well-being.

The requirements for these parts are not only "A" surface quality for appearance, but they must also resist corrosion, normally exceeding at least 500 hours in a salt-spray test chamber. In addition, the coating process must be economical, so Pyramid works hard to develop the proper part density on racking that travels through the powder system, and the proper line speed to assure coating thickness. The powder system also recycles the standard color powders so that efficiency is maximized. Typical powder colors include black, white, tan, and gray with some being bendable and some being high-temperature mixes.
We provide the best service in the industry. Whether you need powder coating services on parts we manufacture for your business, or if you only require finishing, contact us to learn more about how we can help meet your needs.

This might be our first look at Samsung Galaxy S IV [Rumor]
Posted By Enrique Manalang On March 11, 2013 @ 3:58 AM In Android | 2 Comments
Images of what appear to be an unannounced Samsung phone have been uploaded to Chinese forum 52 Samsung. The phone is reportedly being described as the "GT-I9502," but what makes it interesting is that its specs line up perfectly with the impending Galaxy S 4.
The uploader of the images actually claims that this is a dual-SIM variant of the yet to be announced Galaxy S 4, made for Chinese carrier China Unicom.
The leak becomes all the more believable after seeing the benchmark results, as the GT-I9502 matches up perfectly with the S 4's specs: 5-inch screen, 1920×1080 resolution, "Universal5410″ 1.8GHz processor that is most likely the Exynos Octa 5410, 2GB of RAM, PoverVR SGX 544MP GPU, 13-megapixel camera and Android 4.2.1.
However, there's still that chance that this casing (maybe even other aspects of the design) were simply created for testing purposes by Samsung. Also, The Verge mentions that there's an equally good chance that this is just a hoax. But even if this GT-I9502's design turns out to be a prototype, the benchmark only adds fuel to the fire that the Galaxy S 4's specs have indeed leaked well ahead of its announcement [3].
If this turns out to be the Galaxy S 4, would you buy it? Let us know in the comments [4]!

Here in North East Georgia we have had rain and unseasonably warm weather all week up until yesterday. We had a slight chance of snow Thursday night, which would have made my kids so happy but nada, nothing. Oh well.....
Because of the rain and being cooped up inside this week , I was able to finish painting my built-in cabinets in the breakfast area and will share that with you this week. I love how they turned out.
Until then, I have a little bit of this and a little bit of love to share this week.
From My Front Porch To Yours transforms her vintage dresser into a cozy retreat and adds a bit of privacy for her 'Baby Girl' by adding the curtain. Cute!
A Typical English Home made her own DIY Boot Tray. Super easy and less expensive then most trays that you will find.
I sure hope you are going to do something today that makes you happy. Have a great weekend!

Deegan back in training
Welcome news at last Gary Deegan, known as Pitbull to his friends and team mates, has returned to training for the first time since sustaining a serious ankle injury in pre season training last summer. The combative Irish midfielder made a promising start to his Coventry City career last season, but because of the injury, he has missed all of this season. Coventry caretaker manager is hopeful that Deegan may be fit enough to play some part in the last few games of the season as his side battle against relegation. Thorn confirmed that Deegan is back training saying,"He's been back in training for five weeks now and it is a case of full steam ahead. So I'd have thought he could feature at some point." The return to action of Deegan would be a welcome boost for the injury ravished team who have struggled at times this season with creativity and ball winning ability in the midfield and Deegan is capable of fulfilling that role.

4 A surprise gem of a gamebluto33 | 18/11/2011 | See all bluto33's reviews (4)Took a chance ordering this game, I liked the idea of a flight sim controlled with the Move controller.The game draws you in with the story line, which is set during WWII. The gameplay is all action, and the Move controller works really well, you hold it vertically like a joystick, it's really simple and very intuitive.Graphics are a little dated, but not too bad. It looks OK and you'll forgive this minor flaw when you experience the great gameplay. A really good game at a very reasonable price.

Porsche AG has recalled almost 102,000 units of its very popular Cayenne SUVs globally to repair a possible defect that may lead to a headlight getting loose or falling off. Porsche spokesman Steve Janisse said that the vehicles were produced for the model years 2011 and 2012 and were built between March 2010 and January 2012.
A twist lock secures the headlights on these models. A headlight may fall if this lock isn't secure, specifically when a driver is accelerating very quickly or braking heavily when rounding a corner.
Around 20% of the vehicles covered in the recall are in Canada and the U.S. Janisse said that throughout the world, there were 39 reports of a headlight coming loose and 68 cases of it getting detached.
In a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Porsche said that the problem was discovered in October 2010 and that there were 20 cases reported in the U.S.

Developer: Edovia Inc.
Price: $1.99
Version Reviewed: 1.1
Note 8/14: Note that there is a new version of this software out that reports that it has increased reliability. We'll try to get access to that and revise this review if we can.
Steps says it's a personal pedometer. But it's really not worth a download.
Boy, I'm glad I didn't by this app. I saw it on a friend's iPhone and convinced them to let me give it a try. What I found out was that Steps is really not good for anything.
There are many things wrong with this application.
First — it can't count steps. Something you think a pedometer would need to do, right? I tried using the app while the phone was on in every possible direction to try to get it to pick up the steps properly via the accelerometer. Top pointing down, on each side. In my front pocket, on my belt. I took 20 steps in each configuration. It just didn't work right.
Steps would generally read 50-100% extra steps over what I actually took. Though sometimes it would only read 2 or three steps, well under the 20 I actually took.
So, does it work as a pedometer? No, strike one!
Second — it reports average speed and distance. Let's assume for a second that the step counting worked, which I think we covered that it doesn't, but if it did, then reporting distance/speed is just a guess. Without the app either using the GPS or knowing the length of your step, it's just a guess. It just won't add up right unless you have the perfect stride length. Strike two!
Third — it doesn't work when the device is sleeping. So, you must keep your device on to use it. Handy! Good thing the iPhone has stellar battery life. Sorry, extra sarcastic today.
So there you go, three strikes. Steps is out.
The one good thing to say is that this app looks very nice. Meh.
So, don't waste $2 on this or any iPhone OS pedometer — just go buy a real one for $2 at any sports store. It will actually work.

Since Thanksgiving, I have decided to go on a super healthy kick from then until Christmas. As you may or may not know, I have been working very hard to get into better shape, and lose some weight, and get healthier overall, and this time of year it is especially challenging to maintain all the progress I've made, so in order to counter act a bit of the indulging that is bound to happen over Christmas with the family, (I can practically hear that hot chocolate and gingerbread calling my name!), I am doubling my efforts and therefore eating somewhat boring and repetitive food. Not that eating healthy is boring! Far from it! But I have been eating mostly salads and green smoothies and that does get old posting over and over again.
So, I decided I would share with you a few of the recipes I have been enjoying the most, starting first with that Super Greens Salad that I posted not too long ago, and today, my kick-butt, craving crushing, skin beautifying, all around awesome smoothie. Ok lets dive in!
Doesn't that jar of sludge just look so appetizing? Mmmm, bubbly brown liquid, exactly what I want to eat! Please don't be put off, the brownish color comes from blueberries, that, when mixed with all those yummy greens, instead of being that brilliant blue you would expect, it neutralizes the color and just becomes brown.
I love making this smoothie when I'm feeling a little lethargic, when my skin looks a little dull, and when my body in general needs a break from heavy, digestions intensive foods. After you drink this, you will most certainly feel amazing and have beautiful healthy, glowing skin. What more could you want from a meal?
This is a notably low sugar, low carb smoothie. Lots of smoothies have banana bases, which I avoid for several reasons, but feel free to throw one in if you really like them and need the extra calories/sugar.
Radiance Smoothie
The ingredient rundown
- Water (12-14 oz) I use water as my base, instead of milk, or almond or soy milk, because you don't need the extra calories from milks, and they don't add any flavor anyway.
- Stevia (a few drops) – because I am not adding the obligatory banana or orange or other sugary fruits that people use in smoothies to make it taste better, I like to add a few drops of stevia to give it a little sweetness without the calories. You can also use honey if you like.
- Spinach – (1 cup) The easiest green to use because you can usually find it bagged, washed, and ready to go. Spinach has a very neutral/sweet flavor so it wont be strange to drink it with fruit. It's almost always the foundation of my smoothies. It's also soft enough to use with a regular blender, just in case you don't own a super-duper heavy-duty awesome Vitamix or something.
- Kale – (1 cup) Are you eating kale? These past few years it is everywhere! Trader Joe's even sells kale chips now, in nacho cheese flavor. If you are not eating it regularly and want to, adding it to a smoothie is a great way to do it because it has a really mild flavor, most varieties are not too spicy or bitter, and as long as you remove the hard rib in the middle of the leaves, it's easy to blend up in a standard blender.
- Cucumber (1/2, peeled) Cucumber is a wonderful hydrator and will really make your skin glow. It also has a great mix of vitamins, including B vitamins that will help pick you up and give you some energy.
- Avocado (1/2, fruit only, no skin!) – Healthy fats, obviously. It also makes the smoothie incredibly creamy and smooth, negating the need to add yogurt or milk or something. I've also read that eating half an avocado a day can help with rosacea and acne, and the oils in it will nourish your skin and give it a healthy, supple, moisturized glow. Like face cream, but from the inside. It also might help lower your cholesterol. Read more about Avocado here: Avocado Health Benefits
- Parsley (small handful) because I love how it tastes, and it has lots of vitamin K, which is not found in that many foods. The oils in parsley are known to be anti tumor, and can even neutralize particular types of carcinogens
- Mint – (a few sprigs) I love mint! It adds some freshness, and aid digestion. It's also said to be an anti-tumor agent. Count me in for that!
- Wild Blueberries, (1 cup) I love the wild ones because they are smaller, and not grown with pesticides. Smaller = more skin to fruit ratio, which means more of the good vitamin containing skin per cup. Also, I remember gathering wild blueberries with my Grandma and Great-Grandma when I was really little, and every time I use these blueberries I think of them, and I smile.
- Optional: Coconut oil. There are lots of reasons to add coconut oil to your smoothie, it helps with the absorption of all the greens, it adds some healthy fat and calories which will help keep you fuller, longer. It is also supposed to help combat acne, but I'm not sure if that is true or not. My favorite coconut oil: Tropical Traditions
- Optional: Raw Cacao Powder. Raw cacao is supposed to have one of the highest ORAC (antioxidant) ratings of any food out there, so that alone is a great reason to use it. It also has lots of minerals, and will help satisfy your chocolate cravings in a really healthy way. You can buy it here: Navitas Naturals. If you have some cocoa powder at home you can use a tablespoon of that as a stand in for the raw version, it still has some great minerals and antioxidants!
- Optional: "Green" Powder. As if we don't have enough green stuff in here, I like to add a little of this Trader Joe's Super Green Drink powder into the mix. If you don't live near a TJ's, there are lots of options out there, but I love this one because it has a great mix of greens, including, spirulina, chorella, barley grass juice powder, chlorella, alfalfa, and probiotics, and enzymes, which will help your body digest all the yummy things you are drinking. This is totally optional, but I love using it, I think it boosts my smoothies to another level. If you don't have a Trader Joe's near you, this is another good Green Powder that is worth a look.
- Optional: Protein Powder. I am not using one, because I haven't found one that I like, and rather than pump my body full of estrogen with a soy based one, or suffer hours of bloating and gas with a whey one, or eat unnecessary carbs with a hemp one, I just skip it and eat some eggs or chicken with another meal. If you have a suggestion for a protein powder though, please let me know in the comments!
Ok, got all your ingredients? I like to start with the water and stevia first, and start the blender. When it's going I drop in the greens little by little using the little opening at the top of the blender cap, and let the greens blend around until they are nice and smooth.
Then I add in the avocado, cucumber, blueberries, and the oil and powders. Let all that blend up and add a little more stevia to taste, and serve up! This will give you about a quart of smoothie, which sounds like a lot but this is my breakfast and lunch, so it ends up being about right. There are of course lots of variations to green smoothies, almost endlessly so, but this is a pretty usual one that I like to make, and it combines all my favorite ingredients. I will work on posting some other variations soon. Enjoy!

No dispute settlement for eBay users who pay via local banks
MOST items posted on eBay Singapore are sold by locals who have a POSB or local bank account.
These sellers usually request buyers to make payment by transferring the money to their bank accounts.
Many buyers are not aware that this payment method is not recognised by eBay Singapore as a legal transaction, and that they do not have legal protection against the seller, even if they can produce a receipt of payment.
eBay Singapore will not handle any disputes that arise as it claims it has no record of the transaction because the payment is not made via PayPal. eBay Singapore and PayPal will protect buyers only if the payment is made through PayPal.
The Consumers Association of Singapore should inform eBay Singapore to make it clear on its auction site that it will not be responsible in any dispute involving purchases that are not paid for via PayPal.
Recently, I did not receive a pair of pants I bought on eBay Singapore. When I complained to eBay about this, I found out that it would not settle the dispute as payment was not made via PayPal.
eBay users in Singapore should get more protection.

Repairing Your Portfolio From Twitter
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Twitter
(TWTR - Get Report) reported earnings Wednesday after the close, and for a normal company the report wasn't as repugnant as the subsequent free fall in share price may suggest.
Twitter isn't your typical stock even by the sometimes schizophrenic technology sector standards. I've covered why I believe this investment is full of peril in several articles including a week ago with Two Tech Stocks: One Hero and One Zero. Zynga
(ZNGA) appreciated over 25% while Twitter lost about 25% of its market value.
While it's true that after you ignore a bunch of expenses the company posted a fourth-quarter fiscal 2013 profit of 2 cents, considerably better than the expected slight loss, and revenue increased an eye-popping 116% from the same period last year. Without removing those pesky "one-time" charges that seem to happen in one shape or another every quarter, Twitter lost $1.41 per share.
Losing $1.41 isn't the reason for the selloff, though. The problem shareholders face is the stock is priced like a Buzz Lightyear action figure -- to perfection and beyond -- while many key metrics are impressive, including a 600% gain in advertising and 80% increase in data licensing revenue. As you can tell, the company is growing quickly.
Many may ask, "What's the problem?" The problem is monthly active users didn't increase nearly as much as expected and, more important, a significantly larger gain was priced into the stock.
As we know with Amazon (AMZN), Tesla (TSLA) and SodaStream (SODA), bottom-line earnings isn't the most critical metric for a company with rapid growth. Tesla continues to race down the track, but Amazon and SodaStream recently gapped lower after growth expectations diminished. Twitter now joins the others, and Tesla more than likely will, also, before the year is over.
Ok, so Twitter isn't growing, or at least didn't expand as rapidly as hopeful investors bet on -- but now the shares can be bought for 25% less. Does this mean now is the time to buy? I don't believe so.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Overall Rating:
Liqua Pop is a luscious game to look at. It's bright and attractive to play along with and it evokes a soothing atmosphere, even with its mildly distracting drip dropping sound effects. It doesn't really feel like it offers much new to the Match Three genre however, plus it's a bit pricier than many other games within the genre.
The concept as always is very similar. Drops of colored water cascade down the screen and you have to drag them together thus creating bigger drops and destroying them after a few seconds of waiting. One brief innovation comes in the form of shaking your iOS device in order to pop the bubbles faster. Also, inside some of the droplets are bugs which can then affect what happens next such as one bug type that once it explodes, it changes all surrounding droplets to the same color.
In the early stages, Liqua Pop is simple enough to progress through the levels and you'll find yourself playing this more to relax than anything else. Later on though, the stages get faster and require quicker reactions to match the respective colors up. It's an enjoyable experience but after a while you can't help but wonder what the point is. There's no great structure to things, you just keep playing and playing in order to gain the best high score.
Annoyingly you can't even compare high scores very easily as Facebook integration is used to do this rather than something more appropriate such as Game Center or OpenFeint. It all just feels a bit expensive for what's here. There's only the one mode of play when the addition of a relaxing Endless mode would have been nice and would feel like you've paid for quality.
Liqua Pop is fine but why should you have to put up with fine when for $2 you could buy something that's great? Heck you could buy a couple of excellent games for that price instead. The shaking method to destroy the droplets is a nice touch but Liqua Pop still feels like something that either needs a price drop or some extra features to make it truly worth a purchase.

While some of last night's BAFTA Awards red carpet looks were stunning beyond just being pretty, there was a good deal of deeply upsetting outfits to keep things nicely in balance. More

Last night in LA, Steve McQueen premiered his latest project 12 Years A Slave–a film that in its short life span has already managed to generate a ton of awards season buzz as well as a reputation for gutting intensity.
…Luckily, our concern at present is only with the red carpet. Here's what attendees wore to last night's premiere. More
We saw the front rows in New York, we saw them in London and we saw them in Milan–but no fashion week seemed to attract more famous people than Paris. As Fashion Month draws to a close, the celebrities descended on the City of Light to take in Chanel, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Valentino and at least one very splashy party for the new Carine Roitfeld movie.
Here's what they wore, featuring Katy Perry, Hailee Steinfeld, Kim Kardashian, Kim Kardashian's Breasts, Kate Upton, Miranda Kerr and many more. More
On most red carpets, there are a few "hits" and a number of "misses," whether it's because of ridiculous cutouts, crazy illusion dresses, awkward Willy Wonka getups…all of it. But then, every once in a while, the switch for style is just on.
For Carey Mulligan, Gabrielle Union, Freida Pinto and Michelle Dockery, the red carpet of the Miu Miu Women's Tales screening was exactly that. More
Yesterday, word broke that serial modelizer Adam Levine had reunited with his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Victoria's Secret angel Behati Prinsloo. Not only that, they reunited via an engagement.
Though Prinsloo is well known in fashion circles, she may be a new face to those of us who don't keep a mental backlog of every Prada exclusive of the last 20 years. More
*ding ding ding* Fight! More
Yes, crop tops are a big Spring trend.
While they can totally work (and worked like hell at Miu Miu-look at this photo of Saskia de Brauw on the runway!), we're really, really hesitant to even bother testing one out because a trend like this just smacks of "Man, those photos are going to be humiliating in ten years." Then again, if you can look back fondly on high school photos featuring blue lipstick, lace-up jeans, dusters and chokers–you're a bigger person than us. More
I know, I know: fashion photography is weird, models don't always need to be smiling, and what seems unpleasant to one person is often beautiful to another. But I still can't help thinking Miu Miu's spring 2013 campaign looks like the least fun homoerotic all-girl sleepover I've ever had the pleasure of peeking in on. In it, big name models including Adriana Lima, Arizona Muse and Doutzen Kroes play weird bed games, stand around an empty table, and never, God forbid, make eye contact with one another. Cheer up, guys. You are about to get eaten out by your fellow supermodels while wearing several pounds of couture. More
Hey look, Chloe Sevigny is still cool! And/or desperately trying to capture her former coolness, depending what you think of her! More
As Ashley recently (and hilariously) chronicled, Carrie Underwood isn't exactly known for being a risk-taker. More
Yes, we know it's 2012, but 2011 was such a banner year for polarizing fashion and beauty campaigns that it took us a few days to make sure we got them all: Dakota Fanning reclined suggestively for Marc Jacobs, racism and extreme thinness were all over the place, truth in advertising was dashed in favor of thorough photo editing, and a hair salon in Canada promised to give you the perfect haircut for enduring domestic violence. Check out all the questionable decisions and bad taste from Nivea, Miu Miu, Dior, Donna Karan, and many more. More

The holidays have come and gone. Life as you know it is back to normal. Except, of course, for those extra pounds you may be carrying as a hefty reminder of holiday revelry. You can reach and maintain your desired weight with the following tactics.
Losing weight is a challenge, and requires the same careful consideration that you would give to changing your job, moving, or choosing a college. Create a plan that really suits your lifestyle. Plan to start during a quiet time in your life, not when work and family responsibilities are likely to be at their peak. Start slowly to see how your plan goes and make adjustments as you need to.
You want to be certain that your eating and exercise plans are compatible with your health status. This is especially important if you have diabetes, as losing weight may change your requirements for insulin or other medication.
Walk, join a gym, or buy workout DVDs—the bottom line is that you need to move! Dietary changes without exercise are unlikely to produce long-term results. Exercise will make you feel better about yourself, increase your cardiovascular fitness, and enhance your weight loss efforts. If you have a hard time getting started, find a friend to buddy up with on your workout days. It may also be easier to join a class where other people can keep you motivated.
While quick weight loss seems most desirable, it is not healthy, nor is it lasting. You want to choose a plan which will allow for 1 to 2 pounds of fat loss per week while preserving your lean body mass and water. Ultimately, weight loss is a matter of simple math. You have to burn more calories than you take in. Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day as opposed to the standard 3 meals. This will allow you to fill up on healthy snacks rather than go hungry between meals. If you need to, consider talking to a dietitian about healthier food choices, portion control and meal planning.
Drink plenty of water each day. Water is noncaloric, fills you up, and prevents dehydration. And do not forget the psychological benefit—water gives you something to put in your mouth when you are trying to forget about eating. Flavor your water with a spritz of fresh lemon or lime.
If the scale intimidates you, look for other ways to chart your progress. Your weight fluctuates daily based on many factors, so a scale may not be the most accurate way to measure your success. If you want to use a scale, do so periodically. Try other ways of measuring your weight loss. For example, try on a snug pair of pants every other day. As the waist band becomes less snug, you will become more motivated. Or use a measuring tape to measure your waist, hips, or other body part, and chart your progress once a week.
One splurge does not undermine your overall efforts. Learning to forgive yourself and overlook your indulgences are key to long-term weight control. If you have one bad meal, move on, do not turn it into a bad day or bad week. One bad meal is no big deal, but giving up is damaging to progress.
Recruit your significant other, friends, work colleagues, or children for encouragement and support. Remind them that although you do not need the diet police, you would appreciate that they not sabotage your efforts. Also, there are many commercially available weight loss programs that are helpful.
Both small and large treats will help you to realize your goals. Break your weight goal down into smaller segments and compensate yourself as you reach each one. The more you reward yourself, the more motivated you will be to continue.
Losing the weight is your first challenge. Keeping it off is the next. While there is no simple formula for maintaining your new physique, the following motivational keys may be helpful:
Make one commitment to losing weight and a second commitment to maintaining your weight loss. It is easier to commit to keeping your weight steady for one year than for the rest of your life.
Trigger these habits on a daily basis. If you decide to eat breakfast every day, set out the cereal bowl or the dry ingredients the night before. The same goes for your morning or after work trips to the gym. Preparing everything you need the night before will save you time and lots of effort the next morning. It may also provide additional motivation to follow-through with it.
Many processed foods are full of salt and sugar, so adding more can derail your progress. If you add salt and sugar to your food, slowly cut it back until you stop. Your taste buds will adapt quickly and before you know it, you won't be reaching for them at all. Learn to read food labels and find out where hidden sugars, salts (or sodium), and fats are.
Although strict diet regimens are successful for short periods, deprivation over time is self-defeating. Food should be enjoyable. Keep a list of foods that you like and that are compatible with weight maintenance. When you find yourself craving a less healthful meal, treat yourself to the foods on your list.
Get on the scale, try on a predesignated pair of slacks, or use a tape measure. The method is not important. Just be sure that you are able to keep track of the progress. If you find that you have put on one to three pounds, just be extra watchful for a few days. If you put back more than four pounds, however, you should gear up for "relapse recovery." As you build your recovery plan, enlist the support of at least one person who really understands the ups and downs of weight reduction. It may be helpful to keep a food diary so you can see where you deviated and how it affected your weight.
Remember that you are a capable, intelligent person who can accomplish whatever you set out to do. Learn to cope with the stress that leads to overeating. Keep a mental picture of your total weight loss experience—your new body, the feeling of being in control and taking care of yourself, or even your new clothes.
Weight maintenance involves shifting from restricted eating to more flexible eating. This flexibility is harder to handle than a simple set of rules. Just accepting the fact that weight maintenance is difficult is an important step to continued success. Recognizing that some setbacks are inevitable will help you cope with them as they occur.

SPRINGERVILLE, Ariz. -- The huge smoke plume from the massive Wallow Fire burning the White Mountains of Eastern Arizona is visible from space. NASA has captured several images from its satellites.
Since the Wallow Fire started on May 29, the fire has grown to become the second-largest wildfire in Arizona's history.
Ongoing winds out of the southwest have not only fanned the flames, they've pushed the smoke clouds as far east as central Iowa. That's a distance of more than 1,000 miles.
The dense plume of smoke pouring north from the massive fire has affected air quality as far north as Wyoming and as far east as Georgia.
The actively burning fire can be seen outline in red in the NASA images.
While most of the images came from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite, views were also caught by the MODIS on the Terra satellite, as well as the Landsat-7 satellite.

I was your cocktail waitress 3 weeks ago at the rooftop. You were there on a Wednesday night with your friends(?) or clients from work. You said you worked for GS, but you might have just said whatever. I mean, what does a dumb bitch like me know, right? You flirted with me and asked me what I did other than work here and I told you I'm in acting school. You were really hot in that asshole lacrosse kinda way with your blonde hair and broad shoulders, maybe 29, 30. You followed me to the bathroom and grabbed my tits and hair pushed down. I got on my knees and sucked your cock. I didn't know what else to do. Then you blew a load on my face and stuck a $100 bill on it. You walked out without saying anything, when I straightened up and came out your table already settled. And left me a nice tip. I wish you left me a card but you probably didn't want me to know your real name or where you really worked.
I'd just leave it at that, and apply it to my acting, but the trouble is that I really liked it. You made me feel like a fucking cheap chinky whore. I wanna do it again but you don't need to tip me. Get in touch, please. We don't have to date. I just really liked pleasing you.
Well I know what I'm doing the next time I'm out at a restaurant and there's a hot waitress! The answer: Probably nothing because I'm pretty broke and don't have a cushy finance job where I can stick $100 bills to waitresses faces after they blow me in a bathroom. Not to mention that would never happen anyway because I'm pretty gross looking and a huge pussy. BUT, if I was rich and attractive and not un-attractive and could pull off making a waitress clean out my pipes without saying a word to her and then cum-glue a Benjamin on her face I totally would. Like every time I went out I'd do that. It'd be my signature move like "El Barto" or the Wet Bandits leaving the sink running. Just a total power play in every way imaginable. Guess I'll have to settle for striking out with chubby Applebee's girls while dangling a crisp $5 spot in their face. Not a bad legacy I guess.
