Various blue beads called "pacific opal," "aurora borealis" and "under the boardwalk" create a lovely bracelet evoking the clear skies of Malibu. This sparkly bracelet from Rings & Things is perfect for summer nights.
- 10 #05-706-3-02 Swarovski® rhinestone wheel beads, silver plated/crystal aurora borealis
- 9 #06-401-08-141 8mm Swarovski octagon crystal pendants, pacific opal
- 1 pack #05-301-06-905 6mm Swarovski Crystal Jams™, "Under the Boardwalk"
- 9 #37-290-657 5.7mm round jump rings, Argentium® sterling silver
- 2 #41-559 Size 3 crimp tubes, sterling silver
- 14" #61-810-07-89 0.015 7-strand Beadalon®, silver colored
- 1 #39-539-02 Magnetic clasp, sterling silver
- crimping pliers
- flat-nose pliers
- side cutters and/or side flush cutters
- Attach each octagon crystal pendant to a jump ring. Set aside.
- Cut a piece of Beadalon slightly longer than twice the length you desire for your finished bracelet (this example uses a 14" strand; finished length is approximately 6.5").
- Center one end of the magnetic clasp on the cord. Slide a crimp tube over both ends of the cord and, using crimp pliers, crimp it close to the clasp, leaving enough slack in the cord to form a nice loop.
- String a rhinestone wheel over both strands, then separate the strands. On the top strand, add one bicone crystal. On the bottom strand, add a bicone, an octagon pendant and another bicone. String another rhinestone wheel over both strands. Repeat, but this time alternate which cord has the single bicone. Keep repeating these steps and alternating the pattern until you reach the desired length.
- End with a rhinestone wheel and a crimp tube over both strands. Loop both ends of the cord through the second piece of the magnetic clasp and back through the crimp tube. Make sure to leave enough slack in the cord for the crystals to move freely.
- Crimp the tube with crimping pliers, and trim the ends of the cord with your cutters.

You may have never been trained as a painter or musician, but today's tech tools make faking it easy. Here's our favourite gear for the creatively minded.
2. Move it like Wallace and Gromit
Stop-motion animation is the art of animating using real-world objects instead of drawings. People often refer to it as 'claymation', but anything and everything can be fair game for stop motion, from your collection of Smurfs to fresh produce.
The principle is easy: take a picture of something, move it a little, take another picture, repeat. Play the still frames back, and your object comes to life. (You can even use people instead of objects, which is called pixillation.)
That's the idea, anyway. If you're just starting out, you quickly discover how hard it is to keep track of exactly how you moved something in the previous frame.
Nikon to the rescue: Many of the company's budget-friendly Coolpix digital cameras such as the Coolpix S51, as well as its feature-laden (but pricier, at £530 with lens) D60 digital SLR, have a little-heralded stop-motion feature. Once activated, the camera overlays faint versions of the previous images on your LCD preview, allowing you to line up your next shot accurately.
Once you're done shooting your masterpiece, the camera will automatically assemble the images into a QuickTime file, but if you prefer more control over editing your shots, you can use the £20 QuickTime Pro for the task.

3. Don't try this at home
Are you looking to make the next indie action flick on the cheap? (Hey, don't laugh, Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi - the prequel to Desperado - was made for £3,500.) Camcorders are inexpensive, but dunk one in water for your scuba-diving fight scene, and you'll be hitting eBay for a replacement. Face it: the most exciting films are the most punishing on the equipment used to shoot them.
Much of the problem can be traced to the cameras' many moving parts and fragile recording media but for a spate of low-cost, flash-based camcorders, it's a nonissue. The £229 Sanyo Xacti CA6 is splashproof and can record on SD Card. Let the extreme cinematography begin!

Tigers Eye Limiting Miscues at SMU
Oct. 26, 2012
Gameday Central
After the team's best rushing performance since 2009, the University of Memphis will look to extend its run-game performance while limiting turnovers when the Tigers take on SMU Saturday in Dallas.
Homecoming kickoff on the SMU campus is set for 2 p.m. at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The game will be broadcast on the Memphis Radio Network and flagship station WREC while video will be streamed on Rice Athletics' web site, GoTigersGo.com, and the site's All-Access link. All-Access is a pay site which streams live events and other content about Memphis Athletics. The site costs $9.95 per month.
The Last Meeting
September 24, 2011
Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium
Memphis is 1-6 on the year including a 1-2 record in Conference USA play. The Tigers had three turnovers lead to 21 points in last week's 35-17 loss to UCF.
Now, Memphis takes on an SMU team which leads the nation in total takeaways (25), interceptions (16) and pick-sixes (6). Last week the Mustangs returned three of six interceptions for a touchdown and also scored on a fumble return en route to a 72-42 win over Houston.
With last week's win, SMU improved to 3-4 and 2-1 in C-USA.
In last week's win against Houston, junior linebacker Kevin Pope recovered two fumbles including one for a touchdown and was named the C-USA Special Teams Player of the Week. Junior linebacker Randall Joyner is the Mustangs' leading tackler with 54 total stops including three interceptions.
"Defensively, they don't get enough credit," said Memphis head coach Justin Fuente earlier in the week. "They've been good up front over the last couple of years. They've done a great job rushing the passer and still covering down in the back end."
Offensively, the Mustangs feature running back Zach Line, a first team All-C-USA selection both in 2010 and 2011. This year he has four, 100-yard games and for the year has tallied 717 yards and has scored all five rushing touchdowns.
Much like Memphis quarterback Jacob Karam, who earned his degree from Texas Tech and transferred to UM immediately eligible, so did SMU starting quarterback Garrett Gilbert who took 27 credit hours last spring to graduate from Texas and become immediately eligible to play for the Mustangs.
Gilbert has completed 161-of-317 passes for 1658 yards and 11 touchdowns. In last week's win over Houston, he threw four scoring passes, completing 23-of-38 passes for 265 yards.
"I thought that he played much better and he started the game throwing the ball more accurately," said SMU head coach June Jones about his starting signal caller. "I think he'd like to have a couple things back, but that's the way quarterbacking is, you keep working at it, and get better and better."
"I think when you look at him, he continues to get better in that offense," Fuente said. "He has a lot of tools and is a highly intelligent kid. He's just an awfully good football player, and has been for some time."
While the Tigers are looking for just their second win on Saturday, Fuente said the team continues to improve.
"I just know from an accountability level, from a discipline level and when you look at our guys playing with emotion and intensity, I know as a program we have improved," he said. "I see it every day. I know as individuals, we've gotten better. They're more dedicated now so that's always encouraging."
The statistical numbers certainly agree with Fuente's assessment.
Through seven games of the 2012 campaign in comparison to the same point of the 2011 season, Memphis has made improvements or is even in 24 of 37 NCAA statistical categories (65 percent).
Some of the Tigers' biggest improvement has come on the defensive side of the ball. Memphis has dropped its total defense yardage by almost 100 yards - from 499.14 yards per game allowed through seven games of the 2011 season to 413 yards this season. The Tigers were ranked 117th in total defense in 2011 and this year rank 76th.
Fuente said to have an opportunity Saturday in Dallas, the Tigers will have to do a great job on both sides of the ball as well as special teams.
"Hopefully, we can build on the performance last week," he said. "Our kids came out and really competed on both sides of the ball. We made our share of mistakes but I think it's pretty plain to see we're getting better every week."
Saturday's game will be the first of two on the road for the Tigers. Memphis plays at Marshall next week. SMU will be playing its second straight at home Saturday and travels to UCF next week.

Dr. Matthews points out that encouraging an integration of religious beliefs and practices in medical settings can have important benefits for the entire medical community?from patients and doctors to national health policy makers. He shows how the national trend toward rediscovering religious values has led many patients to use prayer in conjunction with conventional treatment, and that the results have already confirmed that faith and religious practice can be valuable medicine. Finally, Dr. Matthews helps readers explore the connection between faith and medicine in their own lives through methods of prayer, community worship, and study of Scripture.

"Rape Me" by Nirvana (1993)
Kurt Cobain wrote the song while Nirvana's landmark Nevermind record was being mixed in 1991. When it was released as the second single off of their next album In Utero, he told Spin magazine that it was conceived as a life-afferming anti-rape song. "It's like she's saying, 'Rape me, go ahead, rape me, beat me. You'll never kill me. I'll survive this and I'm gonna fucking rape you one of these days and you won't even know it.'"
"Love Is A Losing Game" by Amy Winehouse (2006)
This instant classic ballad from Winehouse's unsurpassable Back To Black was the final single released in the late singer's lifetime. Although the lush orchestration from producer Mark Ronson was undeniably gorgeous, the quiet bedroom intimacy of this demo offers even more authenticity. What's more, it reminds us just how much we miss her.

Background: It has been hypothesized that the etiology of schizophrenia, in a distinct group of patients, originates from an autoimmune reaction against platelets. Previous open screenings have recorded significantly higher blood titers of platelet-associated autoantibodies (PAA) in schizophrenic patients as compared to normal healthy subjects. In addition, young schizophrenic patients at the early stages of their disorder displayed higher PAA titers than older patients with a longer duration of the disorder. A blood test based on these observations was proposed. Aim: To verify by a blind test a significant difference in PAA between young schizophrenic patients and matched healthy control subjects, for the validation of a blood test for schizophrenia. Methods: A total of 36 young schizophrenic patients in an active psychotic state, aged 13–20 years (mean ± SD: 16.2 ± 2.1 years) with an average PANSS score of 115.6 ± 14.5 and illness duration of 9.5 ± 9.4 months, were examined. The control group consisted of 49 healthy young subjects between the ages of 13 and 21 years (16.2 ± 2.2 years). The blood titers of PAA were evaluated blindly using an optimized ELISA test, expressed by a linear optical density (OD) scale. The blood samples of all participants were tested anonymously, and were scored under a code number. A test recording above 1.3 OD units was defined as positive. Results: The PAA titers of schizophrenia patients (1.6 ± 0.4 OD units, range: 0.7–2.3 OD units) were significantly higher than those of the control group (1.0 ± 0.4 OD units, range: 0.4–1.8 OD units; p < 0.0001). In 61% of the young schizophrenic patients (22 out of the 36 patients), a positive result (OD >1.3 units) was recorded. In the control group, only 12.2% (6 of the 49 subjects) displayed a positive result (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: These findings support further assessment of PAA titers as a potential biomarker for patients with clinical signs and symptoms of schizophrenia.

The BJP president Rajnath Singh talked to the Prime Minister over telephone regarding the outbreak of violent clashes in Kishtwar district and demanded enhanced security in the area to bring the situation under control.

2015 Buick Lacrosse Redesign Rumor
You'll start preparing for that Car Even before it launch. unfortunately there often is not a lot of info and facts in regards to the new 2015 Buick Lacrosse. if you do in fact dropped you'll manage it and wish to apprehend the primary 2015 Buick Lacrosse worth, you'll be in bit with certified traders of one's Buick to firmly discover out a lot of in regards to the 2015 Buick Lacrosse worth.
meanwhile a few rumors told that 2015 Buick Lacrosse unharness date can maintain late this year. there's hardly any purpose why you ought to be eventually missed when it comes in the high-class and relaxation that will have Buick vehicles. this car is created means that'>in a manner that they actually can offer you much more than you predicted. what might you suppose of the 2015 Buick grand national ? might you suppose can be'>you will end up falling in love for this car ? or, you even suppose that can have'>you'll have one ? we promise we simply can update soon when Buick announces 2015 Buick Lacrosse unharness date.
we expect there might be no significant changes within the engine specifications of 2015 Buick Lacrosse compared in the previous series, still using 2. 4-liter four-cylinder engine featuring eassist technology or possibly a 3. 6-liter v-6. Buick says regarding 25 % of Lacrosse sales feature eassist, that uses atiny low electrical motor and lithium-ion battery to firmly boost fuel economy.
though this Lacrosse is heavily disguised ( utilizing a stylish new camouflage pattern, we note ), weve already seen the car utterly uncovered in china. whereas the plaid covering will its job obscuring a few of one's cars details, we are able to still see that a few of one's parts match up in the spy shots from last month together with the larger grille, the led accents within the headlights and also the reshaped exhaust outlets. not obvious within the new spy shots is simple fact that the Lacrosses cabin is receiving a major overhaul.
as for our facelifted regal, we are able to undoubtedly tell that a restyled front finish can bring new headlights and fascia, other then it's much like the massive changes will just be happening for the rear of one's sedan. whats interesting is the idea that whereas we are able to tell the bottom regal models are becoming new headlights and fascias, it doesnt seem, from these pictures, that the very same changes will just be applying in the face of one's sportier regal gs. judging via the number of fabric piled on high of one's instrument panel, the regal is probably to find a few interior upgrades furthermore.

Freshman Democrat upbraids Obama on spending
Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the ongoing debate over funding federal agencies through Sept. 30 "is just a dress rehearsal" for a bigger debate on benefit programs like Medicare that are the real drivers of the spiraling federal budget.
"Democrats are going to have to do a lot better than this if we stand a chance of getting our nation's fiscal house in order," McConnell said. "Frankly, it's embarrassing.
McConnell also spoke of possible furloughs of federal workers as spending cuts are implemented.
"The only entity in America that's not sacrificing during this economic downturn is federal government workers," McConnell said. "I can't guarantee that somebody might not ... be affected. But we have largely insulated the federal government from this recession."
The House GOP measure makes sweeping cuts to domestic programs whose budgets are set each year by Congress, including politically sensitive programs beyond Head Start and Pell Grants. Money for food inspection, enforcing environmental regulations, grants to local schools and police and fire departments, and community development grants for local governments would also be sharply reduced.
The Democratic alternative would cut spending by $11 billion from last year's levels and limit increases for the Pentagon's core military operations to just 1 percent, far less than increases received in previous years.
The Senate Democratic plan falls well shy of the cuts sought by Republicans but demonstrates considerable movement from where the party was last year when it sought to pass an omnibus spending bill with a price tag $30 billion higher than the current measure. Senate Republicans blocked the effort.
The lack of progress already has House leaders openly contemplating another stopgap spending bill to prevent a government shutdown when a current measure expires near the end of next week.
House GOP Whip Kevin McCarthy told reporters Tuesday that the chamber will probably propose a short-term measure to fund the government between two and four weeks.

A sleek and flashy Wasp in the neon-yellow Elite-Z Crystal plastic, not only will this disc maintain it's flight characteristics longer than most other plastics, but it will look good doing so! Also, a great combo for night golf as this will stay visible without a light till the very end, and with a light will glow perfectly! Nearly max weight at 178 grams, new and unthrown condition.
The Wasp is a disc golf approach disc, and the predecessor to the hugely-popular Buzzz. The Wasp™ is Discraft's most popular overstable midrange. Superbly consistent flight characteristics for shots in the 250-350 foot range, you'll want one for windy days or hyzer finishes. We recommend this disc to players who like the Buzzz but wants a more stable flight for windy days.

Just had this happen to me not five minutes ago.
Was logged in already on the forums, so I just changed my password through my account settings. Got in just fine after that.
Something was definitely up, and it wasn't my password being typed wrong. Nor did it appear that my account was hijacked. Because I copied what I typed into the password for the launcher in and it let me change it through the account page.
Quick edit for those who don't know, but to change your password through your account settings you need to type your current password in. So it sounds like the account system is borked at the moment. Hopefully.

On the Gulen School in Sarajevo
On my recent visit to Bosnia-Herzegovina with the Institute of Interfaith Dialog we visited the Gulen inspired school in Sarajevo. The building above is the new school building that is scheduled to open in September.
According to our guide, the school itself began in the middle of the Balkan civil war (1992-1995) while Sarajevo was under siege. Seven men from Turkey, inspired by the teachings and Fetulah Gulen, entered Sarajevo through the tunnel (middle picture) under the airport that Bosnian Muslims dug to provide food, medical supplies, weapons and ammunition to the residents of Sarajevo while they were under bombardment and sniper attacks from the Serbian army.
According to our guide, the seven Turks did not enter the city with any weapons. Their only desire was to help the children that were beseiged, suffering, and orphaned by giving them a modern education. Pictured below on the left is one of the original seven men who started the school (unfortunately, I lost my record of his name), in the center is our guide, Ahmed, and on the right is David Goin, superintendant of the Public Schools in Edmond, Oklahoma.
Today, the Gulen school is the only school in the city that is fully integrated. Public schools keep children segregated by teaching the Muslim and Christian students at different hours of the day.

Understand how your project is progressing.
Projects don't always go as planned.
Perhaps one is struggling to deliver the benefits specified, or a deadline has been missed for a key project phase, or costs are escalating and threatening the project's business case.
Sometimes you can address these challenges as part of everyday activity within the project – but sometimes you can't.
For example, imagine that you're managing a project to introduce a new IT system. You've completed the design phase, and had your design approved. However, during the development and testing phase, you realize that key people think you're supposed to be doing something different. You've discussed this with some important business stakeholders, and the situation is complicated. How do you resolve it?
Conducting a project healthcheck gives you a complete picture of the project's progress, and helps you confirm how different stakeholders view its success. You can then agree how to proceed.
Healthchecks take time and cost money, so be sure they're needed. In general, they're worth running when you want to do the following:

I may not know much of how the wrestling business works behind the scenes, but neither do many of you. I am pretty sure we do not have any former-wrestlers of a large promotion on this site (sorry to say, Ryan Clark). I do however, know a thing or two about business in general. What TNA is doing is exactly what they should be doing at exactly the right time, everyone just needs to see it from a business

Uplifting footnote to 1940 teen tennis tragedy
Impressed? You have to be kidding. Smitten is more like it. Or besotted.
In November, a month after the crash, Ned Wheldon, the senior writer for American Lawn Tennis magazine quoted above, wrote:
"In nearly 20 years of tennis I have never met anyone who so nearly approached the ideal player: in skill, rhythm and physique, in courtesy, appearance and modesty."
* * *
After the crash, Harper Ink Sr., a tennis patron who had paid for Carrothers' trips to national tournaments, decided to do something to lift the gloom in the tennis community.
Since 1935, Ink had sponsored a junior tournament in San Diego.
Ben Press, San Diego's tennis pro emeritus, told Martin, "There was no entry fee, and you got two new balls to play with. And the loser got to keep the balls. So everybody who owned a racket played in the tournament."
In 1941, Ink created a competition that had nothing to do with the score but everything to do with sportsmanship.
The first winner of the Robert D. Carrothers Award was Arlene Pratt of Grossmont High School. Press won the honor the next year. Franklin Johnson, a recent president of the United States Tennis Association, had his name on the plaque in 1954.
"Over the years, from a modest beginning, the Carrothers Award has transformed a bitter family tragedy into a bright athletic tradition," Martin writes in World Tennis Gazette, a blog he edits.
Today, the names of 69 tennis players are etched into two large plaques at the Barnes Tennis Center near Ocean Beach. A group of about 30 Carrothers Award winners will be at Morley's stadium court Saturday to pay their respects to the restored legacy of Gentleman Bob.
When I was in high school, the trophies Carrothers had won dominated the display case at the Coronado gym.
The trophies are gone now, evidently lost in the move to a new gym. Somewhere, I imagine, they are gathering dust like so many silver Rosebuds.
The story goes that Bob did not himself win one of the trophies in the collection donated after his death by the Carrothers family.
In 1942, Ted Schroeder, who had been a pallbearer at Carrothers' funeral, won the U.S. men's championship at Forest Hills. Ben Press and newspaperman Fred Kinne, both inductees into the San Diego Tennis Hall of Fame, told Martin that Schroeder went to Coronado and presented the trophy to his friend's father.
"I want you to have this," Schroeder said, "because if Bob had lived, I would never have won it."
If he'd lived. If he'd lived.

Thomas Levet injured in victory plunge
Updated: July 5, 2011, 2:38 PM ETBy Bob Harig | ESPN.com
French golfer Thomas Levet might have reveled in victory too much after capturing his country's national championship on Sunday.
Levet suffered a broken bone in his shin when he jumped in a lake after winning the French Open at Le Golf National. The injury puts his participation in next week's British Open in jeopardy.
But despite the small fracture, Levet has not ruled himself out of the Open at Royal St. George's in Sandwich, England. He has, however, withdrawn from this week's ...

Near the end of Summer I was faced with the prospect of going back into an office full-time and quietly panicked about not having anything to wear. I still had many of my clothes from my last office job but it had been so long since I had worn them I wasn't sure what kind of shape they were in.
That anxiety was what made me jump when I came across Stylebook.
Pretty much anyone with an interest in fashion and a Pinterest account knows about Polyvore, that website that lets you put photos of clothing and accessories together to create a collage of an outfit. Stylebook is a free app that lets you do that with your own clothes.
I immediately saw the possibilities in having an inventory of my wardrobe to see what I might need to get and a place to record good combinations.
Work, Work, Work all the time
So this is where the ton of work came in. Before you can play with the electronic closet, first you have to put your clothes in it. I started by trying on everything I owned, putting the discards in a pile and making notes on things that needed to be done. I then set up a makeshift photo studio with a bright white tablecloth I scrounged up and took photos of all my clothes and accessories. Broken up into days when I had time and sunlight, it took a couple of months all told.
Mixed in with the photo-shoots was processing. The app has a built-in editor that will let you take the background out of a photo but it's pretty primitive and there's no way to adjust colors. Even making sure I had as much natural light as possible, almost all my photos needed color adjustment to be true to life. There are a lot of photo editors out there, Gimp is free and has a ton of tutorials.
After all that it was pretty easy to get the photos into the app. I used iMessage to send the finished images to my iPad, then copied them into the Stylebook app. If you have a pc, you can just email them to yourself. Just tap and hold on the photo and select copy from the menu that pops up. Then switch to the Stylebook app, tap "+ Item" in the bottom left-hand corner, "Add Clothing", and "Paste".
It comes pre-populated with categories but you can edit them and add your own. Once an item is in you can also add metadata like color, manufacturer, fabric and there's a text box for random notes.
Doing all this told me what I had and gave me an idea of what I need to get next (I buy my own Christmas presents so that's pretty much figured out). It also gave me a to do list to make some stuff I wasn't wearing better for me.
A Little More Work and Some Money
The camisole straps that had been shortened with safety pins for years got sewn down. So did the belt on the dress that never stayed in place. I have a pair of really cute shoes that I never wore because they weren't comfortable. I found a really strange way of stretching them on Pinterest. It worked so I have basically a new pair of shoes for free.
Next were a pair of skirts I never wore because they were too long. I took them to be altered and have a pair of new skirts for about $20 each, including a black pencil skirt which fills one of the holes in my wardrobe. I also have a problem with lack of color so I found a couple of inexpensive statement necklaces.
And Time to Play
There's a great feature called "Packing List" where you can add outfits and create a visual list of everything you need to take to wear them.
There's another feature called "Inspiration" where you can save images with categories like "Blogs," "Runway," and "Lookbooks". I created a new one called "Selfies" I've been trying on outfits to see if they worked together and taking pictures so I remember. You can add a photo from "Inspiration" into an outfit like the Polyvore shot above. It helps me to be able to see how the clothes look on me.
It was a lot of work to get my real closet duplicated into a virtual one but it's really paid off already. I did a couple of more marathon sessions where I tried every work top on with every cardigan and blazer. I created outfits in Stylebook with the ones that worked so I've got plenty of outfit ideas for Fall and Winter. I'll have to go shopping in the Spring for more office-appropriate warm weather clothes but I'm good for now.

Comfort, Cleanliness and Convenience
The Social Organization of Normality
Not available
moreOver the past few generations, expectations of comfort, cleanliness and convenience have altered radically, but these dramatic changes have largely gone unnoticed. This intriguing book brings together the sociology of consumption and technology to in vestigate the evolution of these changes, as well the social meaning of the practices themselves. Homes, offices, domestic appliances and clothes play a crucial role in our lives, but not many of us question exactly how and why we perform so many dai ly rituals associated with them. Showers, heating, air-conditioning and clothes washing are simply accepted as part of our normal, everyday lives, but clearly this was not always the case. When did the daily shower become de rigueur? What effect has air conditioning had on the siesta at one time an integral part of Mediterranean life and culture? This book interrogates the meaning and supposed normality of these practices and draws disturbing conclusions. There is clear evidence supporting the view that routine consumption is controlled by conceptions of normality and profoundly shaped by cultural and economic forces. Shove maintains that habits are not just changing, but are changing in ways that imply escalating and standardizing pattern s of consumption. This shrewd and engrossing analysis shows just how far the social meanings and practices of comfort, cleanliness and convenience have eluded us. less

Hi the one,
Lately, im dating this guy. I want to know when to ask for where this relationship is going… Sure, he exerts efforts in taking me out on dates, paying for them too. But, I feel like he is going to slack off/take me for granted once he thinks he's got me. I am doing great efforts in holding back since I want what I truly deserve, after being single for a long time. One thing aside, we kissed already. I want to know if this is a bad move I've allowed?
One last point, taken into account that he is clingy.. he wants to see me almost everyday.. Should I make myself available by agreeing for him to see me? As in visit me in my workplace? How often should I agree to meet with him?
Thanks! xx
Breeze permalink
Heyo. Just a question, why do you insist that the guy has to be the one to pay for every date
I mean me and my boyfriend have both agreed to take turns paying for dates after we both wanted to pay the check one time
Are we less of a couple
I don't know about some of the things on here to be honest
Like why does the guy have to plan everything isnt that a bit harsh
Wouldn't they like a girl who doesn't want everything done for her
Someone who is independent enough to pay for the check and plan the date
A girl who is daring enough to not WAIT for the guy to ask, but to ask them themselves??
I think that would be a nice change of pace for any guy. And if he doesn't like an independent woman who pays for their own meals and asks out guys himself, he's just not worth the trouble.
Just thinkin' out loud here, yo.
And another thing.
"Look, men look out for themselves. Don't even think for a second they do what they do to make things easy for you."
Stereotypical much?? Seriously, that's some sexist stuff flowing out of your mouth right now.
You can't tell me that you actually fucking believe that crap haha. If you do, you've obviously had a lot of bad experience with men, and I'm not sure you're really in the place to be telling anyone about relationships! Your views are pretty sexist and old!
What the hell happened to the term "Just be yourself"?? I mean of course not everyone is going to like the real you, but the people who will matter in your life will, and will take you how you are for the rest of your life, no "playing hard to get" needed! I just hate the fact that you're telling woman to do all of these things for guys who won't even be with them in the long run! If these guys were important we wouldn't have to be stretching our necks for them, it would just happen! That's what happens when two people are in love with each other. The relationship just happens, and you can call or text all you want, because that person adores you! Even if you text them too much, they probably won't get annoyed because, yknow, they ENJOY you! And if they do end up getting annoyed, they'll forgive you because they LOVE you! And if not, why be in a relationship with a man who doesn't love you? That's idiotic.

Four of us had dinner here on a recent visit to Frederick, and we all left happy! The contemporary but casual atmosphere, with views to the kitchen area, adds to the happy vibe here. The waitress was really friendly and gave us just the right amount of attention. We each chose a different wine flight to go with our meals - swordfish, duck with lingonberrries, a filet mignon and a beef short rib. Everyone declared their entrees delicious! Three of us had perfectly prepared fresh green beans as our veggie. I like the fact that the beef is locally raised and hormone-free.
Prices are not bad for the high quality and the quantity of the excellent food and wine. If we get back to Frederick, we'll return here for sure.

With land acquisition posing a major hurdle in rapid industrialisation, plans are afoot to develop a land bank of at least 50,000 acres as a key initiative for development of industrial infrastructure in Odisha.
The Industries department along with the Industrial Development Corporation Limited (IDCO) and Industrial Promotion and Investment Corporation of Odisha Limited (IPICOL) has been directed to carry forward the initiatives in a time bound manner, an official said today. Meanwhile, according to an official release, Chief Secretary G C Pati, while reviewing the activities of Industry Department at a high level meeting yesterday, directed the officials to develop a land bank of at least 50,000 acers for public and industrial purposes.
The department has also been asked to work out definite work strategy for land acquisition in the light of the new Land Acquisition Act, it said. Stressing on streamlining of single window mechanism, Pati directed that IPICOL single window meetings be held more frequently to address the pending issues of cleared proposals. The chief secretary has sought focus on development of downstream and value addition industries in clusters. He indicated that all the steel plants should be asked to promote downstream industries and at least 25 per cent of the steel produced in Odisha should be put to value addition in downstream industries, it said.
The department has been asked to deploy dedicated teams for each industrial cluster with firm date lines for milestones to be accomplished. Odisha has been one of the top three states which attracted investment in the last decade. Capacity addition in various key sectors in the last decade has ranged from 3 to 12 times, it said. At present IDCO is facilitating around 226 industrial projects in the state. Around 106 industrial estates/parks have been initiated.
The industrial parks like Infovalley-IT & ESDM Park Bhubaneswar, Electronic Hardware Manufacturing Park Bhubaneswar, INFO park, Bio-Tech Park Bhubaneswar, Aluminum Park Angul, Mega Food park at Rayagada, Plastic Cluster at Balasore and Paradeep, Sea Food Cluster at Deras, Kalinganagar Steel Hub, PCPIR, Paradeep and Special Investment Region at Dhamara have been launched, it said.

"Of course [I'm disappointed]," Chiumiento told MLSsoccer.com.
"I mean, as a player, I would have loved to have stayed here. It's a great place to play football because people here love soccer also now. It's really growing and it's a beautiful place to live.
"But I have to see for my future, but I didn't feel they – I don't know how to say, but I felt it was the best decision for me. That's football."
He added: "It's not just about money. I could have stayed even for less here, but it has to be something where I can be happy.

Episode #2500
New Music from Spain
Friday, March 02, 2007
Mainly new music from Spain fills this New Sounds program. Listen to the flamenco blend of the unconventional cross-pollinators, Son de la Frontera. Their pounding flamenco footsteps over thundering guitars toes the line of Spanish-based traditions, and mixes in beats and melodies from Cuba, Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela. Also, there's electroacoustic music from self-confessed musical alchemists Radio Tarifa. This trio draws from a wide variety of folkloric traditions: Castillian, Andalusian, Japanese, with diversions to Renaissance music just to keep you guessing. Plus, the "terrifyingly good technique" of Juan Martin (according to the Spanish paper El Mundo) as showcased in some medieval-inspired flamenco. And much more.

By Donald Rayfield: As I've watched both Manny Pacquiao (45-3-2, 35 KOs) and Juan Manuel Marquez (48-3-1, 35 KOs) prepare for this Saturday's WBC super featherweight rematch at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada, I can't help but notice how badly Pacquiao has aged in the past four years since their first fight on May 8th, 2004..
At that time, Pacquiao, then 25, looked youthful and almost boyish in appearance. Now, however, at 29, Pacquiao seems to have aged considerably, especially in the past two years. Though he's five years younger than the 34 year-old Marquez, Pacquiao looks to be in his mid 30s age-wise.
I don't what could be the cause of his dramatic aging, perhaps his lifestyle and all the immense pressures that have been exerted upon him in his home country of the Philippines. Certainly, he's in demand 24 hours a day by his adoring public, and it leaves me wondering whether it has had an aging effect on him. Of course, his dramatic aging could be something hereditary, for one only has to look at Pacquiao's 27 year-old brother Bobby, who looks to be considerably older than his chronological age, looking also to be in his mid 30s.
Some people may see this as nothing, suggesting that many fighters look old before their time, that it doesn't have an effect on their performances in the ring. However, more often than not, it really does have an effect. People age at different rates, and sometimes they change dramatically within a year or two, turning old over night. In Manny Pacquiao's case, I think I'm seeing hints of that process taking place in the past year. It hasn't been without it's negative side effects either, for he looked average in his last bout against Marco Antonio Barrera in October 2007, struggling to win by a 12-round decision.
Barrera, then 33, was considered to be old and past his prime, yet Pacquiao barely looked better than him. It was a huge difference between their first fight in November 2003, when a youthful-looking Pacquiao took Barrera out in the 11th round on a one-sided fight. Even since his last bout against Barrera in October, Pacquiao looks older physically, with bags under his eyes, wrinkles and an overall look of one that has physically aged all over. In contrast to his opponent, Juan Manuel Marquez, he looks almost unchanged physically in the past four years. Other than more scars from battles against Barrera and Rocky Juarez, Marquez looks to be younger than Pacquiao despite being the older fighter.
This isn't a good thing if you're a Pacquiao fan, because Marquez controlled most of the fight in their initial matchup four years ago. And, if Pacquiao isn't the same fighter due to his recent aging, it would indicate that he's in for a tough time against Marquez. By looking at tapes of both of their last fights, Marquez appears to be fighting at the same level he did in 2004, whereas Pacquiao has slowed down with his punch speed and workrate. That could be by design, some would say, but I highly doubt it.
Pacquiao would never deliberately slow down his punches or his the pace that he fights at, for he seems to have too much pride to do that. He fights much the same as he did early in his career, only a little slower now that he's beginning to get a little long in the tooth. The question is, will Marquez be able to take advantage of Pacquiao's physical decline and possibly squeeze out a decision or outright stop him. No doubt, it will be interesting to see what happens on Saturday night, but based on what I'm seeing of Pacquaio in terms of his physical decline, I'm picking Marquez as the clear winner of the fight.

Taylor Swift Begins Again This Day in Country Music – September 25th (Video)
2012 - Big Machine releases Taylor Swift's single "Begin Again" to radio.
2012 - Big Machine releases Taylor Swift's single "Begin Again" to radio.
For her final show of the American leg of the 2013 Red Tour -- and the third night of a sold-out trio of concerts at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville -- Taylor Swift wanted 'Crazy,' and she got it.
What seemed like the next round of artist vs. artist criticisms was misconstrued and taken out of context, according to one of the parties involved. Gary Allan says his answer to Larry King's question about whether or not Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift are country has been spun in a way he didn't intend.
2001 - Reba McEntire begins shooting the WB sitcom "Reba" in Los Angeles.
1933 - Tompall Glaser is born in Spalding, Nebraska.
2012 - Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" video debuts on CMT.
2011 - The Oak Ridge Boys are inducted into the Grand Ole Opry.
A number of country music's biggest stars have taken on new personas to flush out new creative opportunities, and not all of these alter egos were meant as jokes. Sure, one can't imagine Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum pursuing a full-time career as Dick Fantastic, but several superstars did just that.
Not only is Taylor Swift a phenomenal performer, she's also made of really tough stuff. The '22' hitmaker chipped a tooth onstage recently and didn't even stop the show.
Generations and genres collided when Taylor Swift invited '70s soft pop icon Carly Simon to perform with her at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. on Saturday night (July 27). The ladies teamed up for an amazing duet of Simon's smash 'You're So Vain.'
Taylor Swift had a two-night stand in Philadelphia over the weekend, and she made the most of her time, visiting with young fans at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and meeting with a cancer patient on a separate occasion.

The piston I got with the big bore kit was probably within a few grams of the stocker. I remember asking about ballance, vibration and what not before buying the piston kit. They told me it didn't matter anyway as the DRs have crancshaft counterbalancers that would take care of the difference in a few ounces not just mere grams. Oh and on my list of trick parts I did cams too. That thing was fast. OH, and mine seemed smoother with the big bore kit in it. I guess because it had so much more power.

Dairy Judging Team Takes Fourth, Sixth at Nationals
OCT. 30, 2006--The University of Wisconsin-River Falls Dairy Judging Team took sixth place at National Collegiate Dairy Judging contests in Harrisburg, Pa. in September and fourth place in Madison in October.

Tuesday November 27, 2012
KUCHING: A statement that said Sarawak had the highest deforestation rate in Asia was a lie and not based on fact, the State Assembly was told.
Second Resource Planning and Environment Minister Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan said various assessment reports on the status of tropical forests in the world had been carried by Nasa Tropical Deforestation Research through the Nasa Earth Observatory.
He said the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and International Tropical Timber Organisation (ITTO) had also carried their studies on the rate
of deforestation in the world and that the ITTO report was issued in 2011.
"Based on the reports, Malaysia is not even in the running in the league for the most and fast rate of deforestation. The satellite imagery by FAO, Nasa Tropical Deforestation Research, Sarvison and Wetland International shows that Sarawak has a forest cover of about 84%," he said in his winding-up speech yesterday.
Tengah said the definition of forest used by FAO was "land spanning more than 0.5ha with trees higher than five metres and a canopy of more than 10% or trees able to reach these thresholds in situ. It does not include land that is predominantly under agriculture or urban use."
He said based on the definition, Sarawak's 10.4 million hectares of forest was only 0.3% of the 4,033 million hectares of the forest in the world or 0.6% of the world's tropical forest which is 1,664 million hectares.
On another matter, Tengah said the timber industry in Sarawak was experiencing encouraging export growth this year and that the export value had increased by 3% to RM5.54bil between January and September, from RM5.4bil over the same period last year.
He said growth was driven by the demand from the Middle East countries, South Korea, China, the Philippines and India.
He said the main timber products exported from Sarawak during the period were plywood, sawn timber, veneer, fibreboard and log.
Tengah said based on the ITTO report,the total log production from Sarawak's Permanent Forest estate (PFE) was about eight million cubic metres per year, which is only 6% of the total world's tropical log production of 136 million cubic metres per year.
"The export from Sarawak is only 2.4% of the overall total of the world's tropical timber production," he said.

Sickle Cell Disease
Treatment Overview
What to think about
A series of blood transfusions is the treatment of choice to prevent strokes and treat other aspects of sickle cell disease. Stem cell transplant is a rare treatment. For more information, see Other Treatment.
People with sickle cell disease should avoid contact with anyone suspected of having fifth disease, which is caused by parvovirus. Parvovirus can cause the body to temporarily stop making blood cells, a severe life-threatening problem in someone who has sickle cell disease. Aplastic anemia can occur as a result of a shortage of red blood cells. It can come on suddenly and is life-threatening if not treated.
People with sickle cell disease and their families face ongoing stress. For help coping, see Home Treatment.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Birgit Khandalavala, MD (Creighton University Medical Center)
Description: The 2010 edition of this practical and reputed five-minute clinical consult is a tremendous addition to the clinical references required in practice where time and accuracy are of utmost importance. The concise bulleted lists hit the target with a brief but comprehensive review of 700 conditions, arranged in alphabetical order of diagnosis, as opposed to a systematic approach, for accessibility and speed. A preface of algorithms begins the book, which continues with a detailed explanation of basics, diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care sections, and concludes with references, additional reading options, handy ICD codes, and clinical pearls.
Purpose: The purpose clearly is to provide a practical and relevant clinical reference guide that can be used in a busy clinic with an emphasis on speed and accuracy. The evidence-based highlights contribute to the worthy objective of seamlessly integrating essential data into clinical practice. The addition of an online component is essential in today's practice and a welcome improvement in the quest to keep medical information current and relevant. The objectives of the authors to maintain this best-selling clinical reference at the forefront of innovation and accessibility is clearly achieved.
Audience: This is a handy clinical guide for early learners in medicine as well as experienced clinicians looking seeking up-to-date information at the point of care. The information would be useful for any clinician involved in the spectrum of general practice and primary care, incorporating all the life stages. Older editions have been used for decades in teaching clinics, including at our facility, and this edition with enhanced online access on hand-held devices stretches the boundaries further. The authors have done an excellent job of adding the evidence-based aspects.
Features: The initial part of the book is dedicated to the quick reference of common conditions designated by their signs and symptoms, followed by a bulleted brief discussion of each disease topic in easy-to-follow sections. The conditions include pediatric and adult cases in alphabetical order, rather than in a sequence of age or systems as is more common. What the authors have achieved is the creation of a rapid-access guide that mimics the conditions seen in clinical practice, at a glance with the algorithms and in more practical and useful detail in the individual diagnosis components. It does not provide more than the basic, relevant information — further references are usually required for more details and management options. The book itself is heavy and more suited to a desktop, so the addition of online access provides portability and ease of use. While the book covers 700 medical conditions, the online edition covers 900.
Assessment: This has been the go-to reference for our busy teaching rounds in family medicine for many years, and the 2010 edition with its online access and enhanced features propels it into the patient room and to the bedside. In contrast to textbooks such as Harrison's Principals of Internal Medicine 17th edition, Fauci et al. (McGraw Hill, 2009), and Cecil Textbook of Medicine 23rd edition, Goldman and Ausiello (Elsevier, 2008), this guide combines a clinically-oriented approach with rapid accessibility for those times when clinicians require the most relevant information with handy ICD codes and clinical pearls without an exhaustive review. The online edition, abbreviated for clinical use with easy to follow algorithms, compares well with www.UpToDate.com. With the constant change in medical knowledge, a book that is updated yearly is a clear winner and the online version provides a conduit for further enhancements.
