is .mac worth it?
I am thinking of getting .mac, do you guys think it is worth it? I am only going to be using the e-mail, iDisk, and Anti-virus capabilites. What do you guys think?
The future of computing is in the hands of one company: Apple

its nice to have, but i think i could find a better use for 99 dollars. i got it for 50 when it first came out, i dont know if i will renew at 99 bucks. I'm curious if Panther will bring any tighter intergration with .mac. But most everything .mac gives you can find for free on the net.

.mac is VERY worth it ---
especially if you like to put stuff on the web with convenience
I've got movies, pics, files, etc, all on .mac for my buds to see and download
and it works so easily --- you just load your photos into iPhoto, and make a homepage right there....or the same way in iMovie
I HIGHLY recommend it if you own a Digital Camera and have a high speed internet connection
in addition, you can also put your iCal calendars online, among other things
anyhoo --- get it! It's well worth it if you are going to do all the uses I listed above (and P.S......buy an iPod for backup, don't use .mac for backing up....its too slow for backup, and you'll wanna save your space on there for movies and photos)

dont't listen to woodsey, he didnt give you any reason at all. i think .mac is plenty worth it. first you get the idisk, which comes in handy a lot for me. you have a web page, which i designed my own and its great. you can easily add pictures to your web page from iphoto, so wonderful. you also get virex, which is pointless because we dont see virurese in mac land. you get backup software which is probably some of teh best backup software ive used. i can even back up my system prefs to make my computer the way it was before. you also can put your address box and calendar online so you can check it all tiem time. probably my favorite feature is .mac syncing with isync. i can keep my powerbook and powermac always up to date.
|May 6, 2003, 08:41 AM
With my .Mac e-mail account I have never received any spam. Plus, you will probably be able to choose any address name you wish.
Some think the virus protection is not needed, and/or the particular program is not the best.
The iDisk is slow. If you are used to speed with broadband or new machine, you may not appreciate the slowness.
If they give a freebe that I really like or that saves me money, or if there is a renewal special, I will consider renewing when the time comes.

|May 6, 2003, 08:53 AM
definitely worth it.
i've been meaning to get a homepage of sortd online for 5 years, and it wasn't until i got .mac that i finally sorted it out, it was SO easy I thought there must be something wrong... it's great also with the iDisk, although it can be slow at times, I've had varied performance out of it, sometimes good though. yeah i'd say if you have a digi camera, and/or high speed internet, get it.
the (occasional) slowness of iDisk is my only (small) complaint.

|May 6, 2003, 08:56 AM
I definitely think .Mac is worth it.
The @Mac.com email works great. It hasn't been down in months.
The Backup software is excellent! It really saved my butt when I had to do a clean install!
The iPhoto integration works great!
Overall, I don't see any downsides to .Mac. Sure, it's a little expensive, but money's really no object to me....
|May 6, 2003, 04:22 PM
It's been worth it for me. I bought my first Mac a few months ago, a TiBook, and I use .Mac to share files with my home office desktop PC and with my office PC. I like the convenience of being able to access my files via any computer with Web access.

It's less than $10 a month. Let's face it, we pay more for macs to have a more user friendly environment, it's just an extension of that philiosophy. If you can't afford $99 a year then go buy a dell and use hotmail.
|May 6, 2003, 06:27 PM
|May 6, 2003, 06:53 PM
i wish i could burn money on a faster mac than 400Mhz, but i can't.
|May 6, 2003, 07:15 PM
I'm not saying we are all rich, but if you are so cash starved that you can't pay $8 a month (thats $2/week) then you might be better off selling your mac on ebay and buying pc. I also have a 400mhz g4 and don't see a new mac in my future for at least the next few years. But, to me, I would rather eat at home one more day a week and have my .mac account than dealing with yahoo or hotmail not to mention all the other services of .mac.
|May 6, 2003, 07:32 PM
ok. it sounded like you were being offensive.
sorry about that.
i want to get .Mac,but my parents won't let me "waste my money" on it.
also, im on a g3

|May 6, 2003, 08:05 PM
.mac is very much worth it. Soon I think apple will bundle .mac onto your computer when you buy it. As a ploy to sell more
|May 6, 2003, 08:34 PM
All I'm saying is that it is worth it. It's like buying a song from itms. 99cents may sound like a lot, but when you think about it, we all spend at least 5 bucks a day on thinks that we really don't need but are conveint.
|May 6, 2003, 09:59 PM
I can't imagine a possible reason that I would ever, under any circumstances, use a .mac account for anything. e mail- get it through isp at home, school network at college. virus- never gotten a virus, and I'd use norton if I were worried. idisk- the coolest feature as far as I can tell, but I would never use it. backup software- I have no problem backing up on an external HD.
There may be more to .mac, but I really don't care. The most useless release in apple's history, IMHO. I'm not even activating the free 2 months I can get with my new ibook. There's simply nothing there that I would ever use.
|May 6, 2003, 10:26 PM
.mac is worth it, and I think that if you don't have it, you are truely missing out on the total Mac experience.
I have a little digital camera that I take everywhere, and I can plug it into my mac, and in no time the photos are edited and on the web or emailed out to friends and family. I have used this feature countless of times and I don't know what I would do without it
Same with some of the short and funny movie clips that I have -- they're on my .mac homepage so all my peeps can see it.
Email works so well, in combo with iCal and Address Book. iDisk is little slow, but not too bad. Backup is a blessing...
...it's just worth it and if you break it down to 8 bucks a month, well, it's really not expensive.
Just try the trial...

Well, I really like it and plan to renew when the time comes. I use the online address book all the time and has been a live saver a time or two...when i NEEDED a number...I would have been SOL if I didn't have it. Plus I love their webmail and IMAP support.

Its all relative, for some people the feature are worth it, for some they are not - for example I personally do not use .mac and will not either, but this is mainly because I and some friends rent a co-lo in a data center for about the same amount a month each, but the machine is ours to do with as we please, meaning we run what we want and when.
As for the simplicity stuff, well me and mine are all well above average in terms of computer literacy, much like most of the users here - photo albums I handle using a combination of iPhoto (quickest way for tasks like rotating photos and so on) and then run them through a java app called Jalbum which will render a *very* nice photo album from a template, which is also fairly easy to modify.
Other advantages? well we have a lot of choice in what software we run, and much more generous filestore allocations - we each have 5gig as opposed to .macs 100meg. In fact, the only thing we *don't* get is Virex protection, but then I get that through work anyway, and the rest of my computers (all PCs bar one mac) are norton'd up (unlike with macs, Norton is about the best there is on PCs).
But all that doesn't change the fact that I would find the .mac services useful, I just found a better alterrnative with a group of like-minded friends
|May 7, 2003, 10:13 AM
Very good do far on trial
hey guess what yes im a mac switcher ive been playing about with my powerbook 17incher for a month now.
I think that the .mac account is very sleak in design and runs very smooth, very easy interface dont you think? well i think i will purchase it but i do tink it is a bit steep.
Then again im newish to these.....anyone know any good like mic chat rooms or cam chat rooms im thinking i cant think of any that work with mac the msn dont mic chat and yahoo doesnt have the voice button so it is rather odd.
as for everything else i got all adobe products on it and even office.
Happy here
overall:get.mac if u can its worth getting!
Lifes a Duck.
|May 7, 2003, 09:02 PM
I think just the email itself is almost worth it. I never get spam EVER. They must be doing something right.
iDisk is cool and really easy to use, but if you don't have fast internet, better stock up on Tylenol 'cause it's a slow train to Migrane-ville.
Hotmail needs to roll over and DIE. Or it should be dragged out into the street, rocked, shot and then spit on. I joined Hotmail when it was at only 200,000 members and it was great. It's a perfect example of how M$ mounts everything it takes over and fricks it to death.
Yahoo! wasn't too bad when I used it.
Overall I think $100 isn't that bad.
|May 9, 2003, 10:23 AM
*homepage? - I've got a hosted website from Catalog.com
*Virus Protection - I've never known anyone with a Mac who has gotten a virus so for me that's a non-issue, I'm not saying it won't ever happen but. . .
*Automatic File Backup - (can't touch that one, but I know that there are competing products, heck if you look into it you can write your own script to do this with a double click of the mouse)
*iDisk online Storage and File sharing - I can ftp to my website at any time, simply using any web browser.
*.Mac Mail - Neither my ISP's mail nor my website's mail ever get spammed
*Calendar Publishing - Try iCalX
edit: also, I must say that I'm one of those people that had to save up for months to get my mac. Maybe you can't understand how much a question of "worth" may mean, but to some it is a huge deal.

World Cup Starts Today: A Brit Talks Hand of God
Will the Hand of God Return?
Stephen Brennan, a Brit, teacher, and soccer fanatic, will tell the World Cup's craziest moments over the next few days. This is the first installment.
Almost a century ago, during the first Christmas of the bloodbath that was World War I, war weary German and British soldiers climbed hesitantly out of their trenches and stumbled into no man's land. They shook hands, sang carols, lit each other's cigarettes, and, using helmets for goal posts and a bully beef can as a ball, they played a game of soccer. Briefly, the international language of the beautiful game trumped the violence of the battlefield. The next day they returned to their positions in the trenches, and resumed the mass slaughter of the Great War.
Starting today the world comes together to play soccer again, thankfully not on the battlefields of the Western Front, but in the spiritual home of football, Brazil. Yes, the greatest competition of the world's greatest sport is here - the World Cup. 203 nations attempted qualification; more countries than there are in the United Nations. Now, 32 from all corners of the globe converge to contest the finals, from the "Indomitable Lions" of Cameroon and the ""Samurai Blue"" of Japan, to the traditional power houses of Europe and South America.

Geopolitical and economic giants can be slain by nations a fraction of their size and GDP (see U.S. v Ghana in 2010), old nationalist and imperialistic rivalries can be replayed in 90 minutes on the pitch (see England v Germany '66, '70, '90, '10). Hopes will be realized, dreams will be crushed. Titans and scoundrels will be made with the kick of a ball. There will be controversies, there will be gaffes, there will be goals.
Billions will be transfixed to television screens the world over to see their heroes take part in this ballet of the masses. Reaching out to their fellow citizens of the world with one hand, while pounding their chests and proudly proclaiming their tribalism with the other. The world is truly watching, it doesn't get any bigger than this.
It's salivating stuff. Over the next few days, I will be describing some moments from the tournament's history to give a flavor of what has been, and what might be..
The Hand and Feet of God - Maradona destroys England - Argentina v England - Quarter Final 1986
Every World Cup needs its heroes and villains, and in Argentina's Diego Maradona the 1986 World Cup in Mexico had both. The greatest player of the last 30 years, the only rival to Pele for the greatest ever, dominated this World Cup more than any single player has dominated a tournament before or since.
He had almost single-handedly dragged the '86 Argentina team to the quarters, proving that a great soccer player need not be a de-marbleized version of Michelangelo's David. No, in soccer, it is about ability rather than shape, and turning a limitation into an asset. Maradona did exactly that, using his short and stocky stature to dribble through midfields and barrel past defenses.
However, another reason why watching soccer is the best waste of time ever, is that you can combine an appreciation of aesthetic beauty with a deep exploration of human nature in just 90 minutes. Yes, Maradona was perhaps the most skillful player there has ever been - but he was also sly, cunning and tempestuous, and his performance in the WC quarter final against England displays both sides of his personality.
Six minutes into the second half, Maradona responded to a sliced clearance from an England defender, and fisted the ball past England goalkeeper Peter Shilton and into the back of the net. The referee let the goal stand, despite protests from the England players. The so called "Hand of God" incident left Argentina fans in rapture and the name Diego Maradona and "cheat" etched into the minds of the English forever.
However, it is shame that the incident somewhat overshadows Maradona's second goal of the game. Four minutes after his first, the Argentinian no. 10 picks the ball up well in his own half, pirouettes and then begins a dash for goal that saw him dribble past four English players, leaving them as mobile as Easter Island statues, before dribbling it around the hapless Shilton and toe poking it into the goal. It's a goal of great quality by a player of the greatest quality. The Italian press wrote of it, "England were in a daze, like a man who had just had his wallet stolen". Though England pulled one back, it was too late.
Maradona would score another two against Belgium in the semis, and then lift the trophy as captain in the final. He would play in 2 further World Cups, though would never scale these heights again. At the '94 World Cup, Maradona tested positive for banned substances and was kicked out of the squad for good. However, he remains the greatest player to ever don an Argentine shirt.

VERGENNES — Vergennes police on Saturday arrested a 16-year-old New York City resident and Northlands Job Corps student and charged him with aggravated assault after the student allegedly cut another male student with a knife.
Police said the assault stemmed from an apparent hazing incident in which the alleged assailant — Ronald Medina, who is being charged as an adult — repeatedly asked the victim, a new student on the campus, to clean up dishes and pick up trash in a Northlands dormitory.
At the one-year anniversary of the opening of Middlebury's Cross Street Bridge, it's appropriate to reflect on its success — and on the controversy that preceded it.
The success comes from all corners of the community: from community leaders to town officials, business owners to commuters. Everyone not only thinks it has added an aesthetic beauty to the town (with its stately architecture, as well as opening up an even more spectacular view of the downtown, but the added convenience and safety features are crucial to the town's viability.

Even if May, with its partial solar eclipse that was eclipsed by cloudy skies, has been largely stubborn, there's another sure sign summer is here: the familiar smell of grilled meats and fish wafting out of backyards around Anchorage.
If your nostrils haven't been Pepe LePew'd just yet, department stores moved the grill-and-patio furniture displays front and center in the last month to remind you.
And if you haven't left the couch, Bobby Flay and the Food Network are bombarding you with a slew of Grilling Week shows to help motivate you.
Whether you are working with a tiny, charcoal-fueled Weber Smokey Joe or one of those shiny, gas-fired behemoths that's the envy of all the block, everyone can peruse the selections at the local supermarket. With Memorial Day weekend firing up, Play offers up some ideas to take your backyard barbecuing to the next level.
Mr. Prime Beef
7521 Old Seward Highway
Since 1973, this family owned butcher shop has been providing the choicest cuts of meat to Anchorage residents and restaurants. From steaks to ribs, Mr. Prime Beef has it all, including andouille sausage links, beef franks and buffalo polish links made in house. Who doesn't want their own personal butcher?
Grillmaster's tip: Go ahead and splurge on buffalo burgers and remind yourself that it's a healthier alternative to beef. Hand-form your own patties, add crumbled Tim's jalapeno potato chips instead of bread crumbs and thank me later.
Alaska Sausage and Seafood
2914 Arctic Blvd.
Perhaps you've heard Herb Eckman on radio commercials wooing you into his shop, his thick German accent touting lox and sausages. Eckman's been in business since 1963, and his reindeer sausage links, German bratwurst and Louisiana hot links sit side-by-side with the Johnsonvilles and Ball Parks in most Anchorage grocery stores and more than hold their own.
Grillmaster's tip: Add some intrigue to your cookout by putting some of Herb's brats against a national counterpart and let your friends be the judge.
Indian Valley Meats
200 Huot Circle in Indian
Doug Drum's operation, a short, winding drive off the Seward Highway, has been processing game meat since 1976. Reindeer polish, reindeer hot dogs and buffalo bratwurst are all available, but the wild game "medallions" are the stars here. Caribou, venison, elk and buffalo steaks with a strip of bacon wrapped around 'em? It's worth the drive.
Grillmaster's tip: On your next Peninsula fishing or camping trip, stop by Indian Valley on the way out of town to stock up just in case you don't haul in that lunker you were counting on feeding the camp with.
10th & M Seafoods
1020 M St.
If meat is murder to you, don't fret: Grilling fish is as Alaska as it gets. And for the non-anglers, the seafood purveyors at 10th & M have sold fresh Alaska halibut, rockfish, cod, scallops and salmon along with farm-raised trout, catfish and tilapia for nearly 70 years. If you're looking for inspiration, let that wealth of knowledge guide you: the 10th & M website offers a bunch of great recipes.
Grillmaster's tip: For under $100, add an outdoor burner to your grilling repertoire. With a large pot with a basket, you can boil lobster, crab or crawfish to make your party the talk of the town.
If you are on a budget, these may not be the best options for you. But if you want to be a no-bones-about-it grillmaster, set yourself apart from the crowd with a truly Alaska feast.

Is the birthday cake ready for Thursday?
Christmas is about a lot of things, but the only real thing is that it's the celebration of the birth of Jesus — thus the best reason for cake at Christmas.

The most important birthday cake
Did you order a cake? Are you baking it today? Editor Don Whitten writes about birthday cake and how appropriate it is with so many celebrating Jesus' birthday in his annual Christmas column. (December 24, 2013, Page 4)
Guest columnist Will Dabbs writes about the importance of foundations and how we in the United States stand on the one established by our founding fathers. (March 27, 2013, Page 4)
Local columnist and college instructor Jimmy Reed talks about ways he works to help improve his students' vocabularies and ends up taking a deeper look into Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt and how that helps show a definition of faith. (December 14, 2010, Page 4)
The Christmas holidays are a time, if there is any during the year, when we need to be thankful for all we have in our country. Local columnist Jimmy Reed points out that today's date (the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the U.S. entrance into World War II) and Christmas mark notable times in our country's history and in it becoming the nation it is today, and urges all of us to keep an attitude of thankfulness. (December 7, 2010, Page 4)
With Independence Day in mind, local columnist Jimmy Reed writes that America has strengthened and prospered through the years because of what he calls "Americanism," and he says it's that same approach that must be present for the U.S. to continue on that path. (June 29, 2010, Page 4)

Kim Kardashian has never been shy about her enthusiasm for hair removal: She's bragged about being "hairless" and even claims to have gotten her first bikini wax at the age of 12! But has she finally gone too far? When Kardashian posted new pics of a suspiciously well-groomed baby North West yesterday afternoon — just hours after she was spotted leaving an eyebrow specialist — fans couldn't help but wonder if she had subjected her six-month-old daughter with Kanye West to a wax treatment as well.
"Since you read all your mentions, why did u wax North's unibrow?" Twitter user @Cassaa0 wrote after Kardashian posted the pic. "She is only [6] months!!"
User @RebeloAlexa wrote, "Kim K definitely waxed her baby's unibrow."

And another, @mzstef89, wrote, "Did @KimKardashian really wax her kid's eyebrows? Wtf"
As the accusations continued to mount online, Kardashian issued a statement through her rep, slamming the reports as "completely false."
But she wouldn't be the first to do mommy-daughter grooming.
Teen Mom turned porn star Farrah Abraham has previously admitted to waxing her daughter, Sophia's, eyebrows while she slept when she was just 3.

Abraham defended her actions, telling Bethenny Frankel, "After that whole situation in the media, I actually got a lot of fan mail from girls who were younger, who did have unibrows and they only wished that their moms would have helped them."
Online, some fans agreed. User @justminxy wrote to Kim, "I wax my kid's unibrow. Will keep waxing them until they are old enough for permanent hair removal. My kid laughs!'
And @CSBBB wrote, "Kim Kardashian SHOULD wax this kid's eyebrows … geez …"
What's your opinion? Let us know in the comments!
Update: Kim also tweeted about the scandal this afternoon:

Open Peer Commentary
McKay & Dennett (M&D) suggest that some positive illusions are adaptive. But there is a bidirectional link between memory and positive illusions: Biased autobiographical memories filter incoming information, and self-enhancing information is preferentially attended and used to update memory. Extending M&D's approach, I ask if certain false memories might be adaptive, defending a broad view of the psychosocial functions of remembering.

We very much enjoyed our stay with you for a week last summer. Your hospitality was outstanding and we so enjoyed your charming cottage and the beauty of Lake Michigan. Hope to see you again next year.
All of our friends and family know that yearly we eagerly return to our "Magic Miniature Mushroom House" on Lake Muchigan. This year was no exception; the warm welcome by Karen and Phil; the ice bucket with champagne and the tray of good cheese, crackers, fresh-picked raspberries; the clean comfy cottage, the piles of fresh towels and linens, the cupboards stocked with all the cooking basics, the generous supply of wood for the firepit, the comfortable furniture on the extensive lawns sweeping down to Lake Muchigan; the beautiful days and glorious sunsets -- what more could one ask for in a holiday rental?! Next year, of course!
Beautiful view of lake, adorable cottage with everything you could ever need. Very well appointed; owner really thought of everything. Including chilled champagne, crackers and cheese upon arrival. Bikes for borrowing and close to town. Owners were a delight.
We loved the accommodations. This cottage couldn't be any more charming and comfortable. The rolling, spacious lawn overlooking Lake Michigan and the flower gardens were icing on the cake. We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows on a bon fire one night, grilled locally caught walleye, rode the bikes that were provided, swam at the beach located down the street, searched for the perfect stones to take home, went to art galleries, ate at memorable restaurants, shopped at stores in the surrounding towns as well as in beautiful Charlevoix - we even had time to read, paint and watch the boats go by. All and all we had a wonderful vacation. The owners of the cottage were very warm, welcoming an accommodating.. Looking forward to a return visit.
We enjoyed our stay at your charming cottage. It was exactly the setting we were looking for; the lake view and the sunsets were terrific! The stone cottage along with the amenities were wonderful! We highly recommend your accommodation!
The Earl Young cottage was a fairy tale cottage with modern amenities. We loved it! It was clean, comfortable and cozy. While there we enjoyed the shops and restaurants in Charlevoix, the wineries of the Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City, the Tunnel of Trees, walks on the beach and the search for Petoskey stones. Beautiful place!
Our stay here to celebrate our 20th anniversary could not have been more idyllic! Karen and Phil have thought of every detail to make it possible to do whatever you want, from exploring the area on bicycles, to enjoying the sunset from your seat by the campfire, to huddling on the comfy couch on a cool evening. The kitchen is extremely well stocked, the bed is very comfortable, and the grounds are as beautiful as can be (the view is pretty nice, too!). We were especially grateful to our hosts for accommodating our schedule. This was the perfect place to spend our second honeymoon. We only wish we had come here on our first one!

The author presents readers with his main prejudices. He expresses tremendous condemnation of divorce,as the results are always negative on children, causing there to be "something wrong with the children." He only believes in women working while their children are in school. He is also clearly prejudiced against the poor. Finally, the author of the book declares that violence on television and in the movies is to blame for increased violence. He clarifies his biases so readers will "know where he is coming from."

Mobile app turns smartphones into "virtual radios" for first responders
Raytheon's new app turns computers, tablets and smartphones into "virtual radios" to allow emergency dispatchers to quickly mobilize help
In an emergency, every second counts, and communication between various emergency services and government agencies can be of critical importance. While proven to be effective, current systems such as Land Mobile Radio (LMR) can still leave gaps in the lines of communications. However, a new mobile app developed by U.S. defense contractor and industrial corporation Raytheon aims to close some of those gaps by enabling first responders to communicate without LMR. The app is part of the company's Interoperability Communications Suite which aims to enhance interoperability between LMR radios, landline, VoIP phones, and P25 systems via ISSI, and 4G/LTE.

Not this year, at least not when it comes to the 2013 Evangelism Conference.
"We wanted to do something that would reinforce our theme and give those attending an opportunity to participate," said Wayne Jenkins, director of Evangelism and Church Growth for the Louisiana Baptist Convention.

Whoops! Looks like you've encountered my old blog.

Thank you.
After nearly four months of constant dropped calls, zero bars and zero battery, a broken power button, 3G, and an extremely laggy iOS, I finally switched phone carriers, traded in my iPhone 4, and got my hands on the brand new iPhone 6 64GB – for only $100.
The biggest question of all – was it worth it?
I honestly haven't been this excited for an Apple product since the iPad. The iPad first generation was the first of its kind, but the second generation is the classic, and is one I don't plan on upgrading any time soon! (My first one suffered an unfortunate demise.)
How to get the cheapest phone plan for your iPhone 6: do not buy from the Apple website!
Coming from Virgin Mobile, a pay-as-you-go phone company, I paid very little ($40) for my monthly phone plan, which included minutes, and most importantly, unlimited data. (Unfortunately, this company has poor service and prompted my switch.)
**The trade-back deal made the iPhone 6 most worth it for iPhone 4/4S owners. For example, I'm finally enjoying the features of Siri! Apps that load! A clear camera! Since the iPhone 5c/s already has those features, the need to upgrade is nominal.
Hence, I did a lot of research on phone companies comparing and analyzing cost for a basic 1-2 GB data plan (because I also crunch numbers for fun, hehe). Interestingly, many companies, such as At&T phased out the traditional individual plans, by adding a required "smartphone fee" on top of a base price. T-mobile on the other hand, was following the Virgin model, but included a preliminary $750 for the 64 GB model**. The Sprint and Verizon MORE everything plans were also not great.
After more digging through the individual company sites – I found the Verizon single line plan which is only $60 and includes 2 GB of data, that is not offered on the Apple website! I went to the Verizon store, and specifically requested it, and then turned in my old iPhone 4 (must be at a corporate Verizon store; I made that mistake initially), for an instantaneous $200 off! Methinks, well worth it.
**Verizon costs less than T-mobile at the end of the 2 year contract, but beyond that, they flip. Thus, I recommend switching to a pay-as-you-go plan, once the contract is over to continue maximizing savings. Verizon phones are also the easiest to "unlock" because of the differing CMDA vs GMS networks.
This new phone and plan also marks the transition into officially paying all my own bills: my insane medical school debt, car loan, car insurance, etc… somehow it's not as fun as I thought it would be. :P
As much as I love the uniqueness that makes Urban Outfitters, one thing I don't understand is how all their dresses come not only backless – but also with stripes and cuts that require as much effort getting into as finding the perfect bra to go with! This dress was too cute to give up though, and despite the low cut neckline and plunging back – with some careful pinning – one can make it work. ;)
The shirts are also made of the softest material ever, and are my current favorites on rotation! The prints go perfectly with jeans.
Damage: Only $15!!! Such a steal.
Ever since Lululemon popularized gym wear that actually looked good, every store has seemingly come out with their own line. (Think Anthropologie, Gap, etc.) But what better company to design flattering athletic clothes than VS? I have to say I am pleased! I love the tank and the pants; both are extremely stretchy, flattering, and breathable!
Damage: $25 – got a discount by starting a new VS account! And of course, shopping at the NY Times Square storefront helps with the selection.
Gym wear is my biggest weakness… I can always shop for more sports bras/tops/bottoms, if only just to prolong the time between laundry days! Unfortunately, the selection of gym wear in Reading, PA is very (limited) – but I was happy to find this pink baby-doll top that fit my proportions. I've tried many that are too long for my torso, or too billowy (much like my problem with blouses), but this one was just right, and conceals the matching sports bra well. I also got a thin, but surprisingly warm down coat to prepare for winter. This year, I won't look like a snowman with my heavy layers – no sir!
Damage: $65 at the VF Outlets, that once upon a time, was the most popular outlet destination in the entire United States.
I've played engagement and rehearsal dinner photographer, wedding videographer and photographer, hairstylist, make-up artist, reception baker and babysitter, and bridesmaid…
Trust me. I know weddings. And the {behind-the-scenes} are very different from what you see as an audience. There are the tantrums and the delays, the waterworks and the weather, missing items and missing people, but with that rush – boy! Is it addictive.
So it shouldn't come as any surprise that my favorite times of the year are actually not the holidays – but the weddings.
I'm not talking about the overblown, over the top show some may put on – but the true essence and meaning of marriage and what it symbolizes.
As you can see from my extended résumé, I love being part of the backstage crew. I love being involved and getting to know the extended family and bridal party, as well as spending the last few moments of my friend's singleness together.
But most importantly, I love the fact that my friends have found that special someone to spend the rest of their lives with. And I love that they want to commemorate this joyous time and notably, the biggest decision of their lives. How wonderful and awesome is that? Marriages are truly worth celebrating and I already cannot wait for the ones in the future!! (They are the new reunions.)
By the end of this year, I will have gone to 11 weddings total, 6 within 2014.
Wow. I am so happy and blessed by this number! I have 3 more tentative weddings planned for next year, and at least 1 the year after, which are numbers I am sure will increase. (There have also been a few weddings that I haven't been able to attend and/or have been cancelled, but luckily those are in the minority.)
My goal of course, is to hit 27 weddings by the time I'm 27. (Which happens to also be one of my favorite movies ever.)
So, my biggest piece of advice to all those out there who may be experiencing the "always a bridesmaid, and never a bride" phenomenon:
Embrace this period of your life, for it is a gift. Use it. Become the person you are looking for. Embody the characteristics you desire.
Because your time will come.
After all, why bother being stagnant and "waiting" for someone to just "come along"? Ain't no one got time for that! Personally, I'd rather spend my time pursuing my interests and becoming a better person, and be the one attracting them. ;)
Love is an incredible thing. Whether it be between friends, family, or lovers – it is truly something to be treasured.
I was reflecting on this during my intensive care unit shift today, when I witnessed quite possibly, the most heartbreaking scenario I have yet seen.
It was of a wife, in her 90's, curled up in bed next to her very sick, married for almost 70 years, husband. She was also a hospital patient, but on a different floor (they had been unfortunately admitted on the same day), and despite her own ailing health, had requested to see her husband, so that she could be there and spend time with him when he breathed his last.
And there she stayed, hours before, and hours after his passing, laying in the same position, next to him.
He was my patient. And it was frustrating to see and try to understand that while medicine can do so much – it can only go so far. And as difficult as it was to be a physician facing an insurmountable medical problem, I cannot imagine nor fathom how his wife and his family must have felt.
Except that they were strong and courageous for respecting his wishes for end of life care. And that she truly demonstrated love that persists, long after years of marriage, children, jobs, and even age. A type of love, that even death cannot undue.
I can only hope that should I ever be in a similar situation, that after 70 years of marriage, my future husband would be there just as she once was.
Please lift prayers for this family as they transition through this difficult period.
"Cinderella is proof that a pair of shoes can change your life."
I just finished taking Step 3 today! Woohoo! And what better to celebrate – and more so, relieve the epic feeling of doom that descends after a 2 day, 16 hour test taking marathon than some good ole retail therapy?
I'll confess: I love shopping.
But what I love even more? A fantastic sale.
This post will be proof, so that I can validate my purchases and my compulsions, haha. (And also a way for me to document my spending, because let me tell ya, that budget sheet lasted but half a day.)
I'll show you what I purchased today, and I'll have you guess how much I spent at each store… scroll down for the answers. ;-)
J Crew: Falling for Autumn
One of my first and favorite J. Crew purchases was a thigh length J. Crew linen cardigan that I got as a student (with that 15% student discount, ah, those were the days!), but it was too thin for anything more than a cool breeze. Since then, I have been searching for the perfect office cardigan! They are a must have for the work place – especially when there is central AC; plus, they also help make sleeveless tops/dresses look more professional. This fit the bill perfectly!
I also absolutely adore the J. Crew jewelry line and have been eyeing it forever. The quality and style of the necklaces far surpasses what I've seen at similar stores like New York & Company, Express, etc. I'll been slowly expanding my collection, first with bracelets and now… this!
Banana Republic: The Office
It's funny how my tastes have slowly changed. Whereas before Hollister/Abercrombie would have been my first stop, it is now something I quickly run past, lest I be overpowered by pungent scents. Instead, I head towards stores like Banana Republic, to expand my work closet! After all, if I'm forced to dress professionally, well, I'd rather do it with style.
I'm really happy about my wedges; I'll take anything to give me a couple extra inches! These are durable, and best of all comfortable.
I also cannot believe I finally found this belt! I have been looking for a belt with a "horse-bit" buckle for ages, ever since I spotted them on one of my favorite fashion bloggers, and was delighted to find the only one hidden beneath piles of other belts. This is when I am thankful for my attention span, which funnily enough, accompanies me during my shopping trips, but not my exams (?!)
Last but not least, I totally did not notice that I had purchased a short size and a petite size pant until after I uploaded this photo! I honestly thought they were both petite, whoops! (The fit is different, because one is straight leg cut, and the other is boot cut, but lengthwise, I don't see a difference.)
Ann Taylor: Day into Night
I love Ann Taylor LOFT, and started shopping there for business pants ever since I discovered their petite size actually fit me! This was my first time purchasing from their big sister store – and definitely saw very similar styles under different names, with minor differences, but at much higher prices. Personally, both feel the same to me, but it is nice to know that the same sizing carries over!
The skinny jeans here were actually my only impulse buy, meaning, they didn't exactly fit perfectly, but were at such a great price point that I had purchase it! They will serve as a reminder for me to lay off those extra cupcakes…
On the upside, I am so happy with this blouse! Most blouses that have this loose, soft billowy feel either a) give me no shape and/or make me look pregnant, and b) dwarf my size. This was perfect, and cut exactly where I wanted at the shoulders and waist – and so, so cute! I can easily pair this as a work-appropriate top, and fit it with skinny jeans for the evening.
Okay, time to reveal how much I spent in total at these 3 stores.
$98.16. (Breakdown: J. Crew: $18.76, Banana $63.53, Ann Taylor $15.87… where your guesses close?)
Considering I bought 10 items, it all averages out to less than $10 per item! From fantastic stores too. Perhaps, now you can agree that shopping isn't too bad after all? ;-)
I miss cooking.
I miss Philadelphia.
I miss my friends and all the good food and entertainment… (and may or may not have been sneaking back as often as I can.)
But nothing cures a nostalgic heart more than a good ole waffle. Seeing these pictures brings me back to this past spring (and yes, I'm hoping winter flies through quickly this year), flipping waffles with my family, with my roommates, and topping them with all sorts of delicious things – from fresh fruit, to whipped cream, to powdered sugar. These waffles are the bomb dot com, crunchy on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside. Only a touch of additional sweetness is needed to bring out the flavor (no dousing in maple syrup on my watch!)
Currently, I'm in the throngs of studying for my last board exam (step 3, final step thank god), which is in about a week and will allow me to be "officially" licensed… and to tell you the truth – I don't know how I used to pull 14 hour, completely sedentary, days in the library! To stay focused now, I break frequently – a 5 mile run here, a cafeteria run there, and of course, facebooking, daydreaming/planning future travels (one day), and creating content like this (when I run out of things to refresh on the internet) to distract others. What can I say? I do what I do best. :P
I'll be posting up more stored recipes I have throughout the course of this year. Enjoy!
Adapted from AllRecipes
For the Whipped Cream:
As a physician, I believe that health is crucial to overall well being, and have seen first hand the destruction that can result when health is not prioritized.
I believe in preventive medicine, that maintenance and promotion of wellness is key to preventing disease. I believe in holistic medicine, that cure results from treating the person as a whole, not just by the physical symptoms. I believe in a mind-body connection, that who we are is not just what we eat, but what we believe and tell ourselves.
I know that life can stressful, overwhelming, and even sad at times – but I also believe that there is a way for us to overcome that outlook.
For me, it has been my decision to become fully present in my life by taking responsibility for my mental, physical, and spiritual health, cultivating an attitude of thankfulness.
This is not a one time deal, but rather – a conscious, daily effort and choice to live fruitfully, productively, and happily.
This attitude on life has motivated me to pursue yoga teacher training. (Whoo-hoo!)
Today was my first day in the first 50 hour yoga immersion course, that will continue as part of an 8 month, 200 hour curriculum. Just from today, it felt like a wonderful step in the right direction.
It does sound (and is!) crazy to be doing this while I'm in residency… I could come up with a thousand excuses not to, but honestly, it came down to this: figuring out what was important to me (health, well-being), realizing that there is no perfect time to do anything, except today, and finally, just doing it!
For those also curious, yoga for me is…
So please, take the time to focus on yourself and your health. It is important and you will never regret it! (Otherwise, you'll just end up providing me with good job security.) I also encourage you if you are passionate about something, to pursue it! It is never too late nor the wrong time.
I hope to be hosting classes in the near future, so let me know you have any open floor space! ;)

Customer Reviews of ViewSonic VA2703 27" Widescreen HD LCD Monitor - 15,000:1 (DC), 3ms, 1920x1080, DVI
So Far, So Good6/10/2013
I hooked this monitor up a couple days ago and am happy with it. It came with both DVI and VGA cables. I have been using this same monitor at work for about 6-9 months. This was my motivation for this purchase, as well as the deal that I got on it. So far, no complaints.
Could not wish more1/10/2013
A very good value and a great product
The is an awesome Monitor. I bought this on buy.com website, it was actually one of my very few online purchases. And to my surprise it was very smooth transaction and the shipment was on time. This monitor has great resolution and great for the latest games that the young kinds now a days play. Love it.
Careful, know what you are buying8/21/2012
This is a 27" monitor with a 1920x1080 screen resolution. This means you are going to see everything 2-3 times the size they actually appear on a 20" monitor. You better like the Windows orb (start button) it will appear as big as a ping pong ball on your screen. I made the mistake of ordering this monitor without double-checking the resolution.... save your cash, buy a 22"-24" monitor if all you need is 1920x1080.
Great Monitor8/14/2012
I'm using this monitor at work every day and it is working great. Love it.
Good monitor for the price7/25/2012
It was easy to set up, seems quite stable and has a great picture. I chose this because of the viewsonic name as well as the price.
I like this monitor.7/21/2012
I've been using this monitor for about two months now with no problems. I enjoy the large screen that helps me to display more text at a larger size now that my eyes aren't as sharp as they used to be. The colors are bright as they should be, and the contrast is very good to my determination (not scientific).
Good buy6/14/2012
Crisp, clear, bright display with plenty of room to open multiple pages, applications, etc. Plug & Play setup extremely easy on the eyes.
I researched monitor options several times, but when my old monitor died, I knew that then I really had to buy a new one and researched again. I wanted the larger screen and one that was LED instead of LCD. I have good speakers so speakers or their quality was not an issue for me. It was easy to set up and recognized by my computer... wow! The screen was so bright right out the box that I dimmed the display light by almost 20%. I do photo editing and the colors on the screen are perfect without me needing to adjust anything. There is no movement to adjust the tilt of the screen, but that has not been an issue for me. All in all, I'm delighted with my new monitor!
Good monitor6/8/2012
Adjustable,, Easy to set up,, Great picture quality,, Lightweight Use on my home pc for video
This is a terrific monitor for daily computing work with lots of text reading. I work as a software developer and this monitor is great for everyday programming and web browsing.

Devils coach: pressure's on Philly, not us
May 3, 2012, 2:20 PM EDT
Devils coach Peter DeBoer played the time-honored underdog card today, telling reporters that all the pressure is on the Flyers in the Eastern Conference semifinal series that resumes tonight at the Prudential Center.
"I think there's a pressure with being the favorite in a series," DeBoer said, as per CSNPhilly.com. "I think we felt that in the Florida series. I don't think there's any doubt and that's on Philadelphia here.
"That's something that isn't easy to deal with knowing you're supposed to win and not only win, but win convincingly. We like the spot we're in and we're just going to keep working."
New Jersey dominated Tuesday's Game 2 at the Wells Fargo Center, evening the series 1-1 with a 4-1 victory.
Meanwhile, the Flyers' lackluster performance drew boos from the crowd – a crowd, it should be noted, that's not known for alleviating pressure on the home team.
- sgtr0c - May 3, 2012 at 3:28 PM
Also a fan base that realizes all this article says is WAAAAAA, WAAAAAA, Pens, WAAAAAAAA….
Such a stupid cliche, the pressures on them. I guess the Devils feel no pressure to win the game or compete, cause all the pressure is on Flyers. Dumb statement, all four teams are freaking out about who is gonna win.
- bigdong28 - May 3, 2012 at 3:28 PM
I don't get it…the flyers were asleep in game 2 and the devils managed to get the puck past Bryz only 3 times. (forget that empty netter)…Deboer doesn't know anything about this flyers team. Favorite or not when they are on their game the Devils don't have a chance. Tonight won't be as easy as game 2 Deboer, so shut your mouth until you eliminate this young intense flyers team….It WILL NOT happen
- plogsdon - May 3, 2012 at 3:47 PM
Where the hell did you get "Pens" from out of this article? And yea it's pretty stupid saying there's no pressure on the Devils. He's just trying to loosen up his team, but it's a 5 vs. 6 seed, and the Devils should be feeling pressure to win, just like all the other teams. I don't think there's one series right now where one team should be a heavy favorite over another

- dawglb - May 3, 2012 at 3:53 PM
If I had a dollar for every time I heard a coach say, "The pressure is on them…", I'd be rich. It is old and overused…. Kind of like Roman Hamrlik.
- tfoz5150 - May 3, 2012 at 4:17 PM
… and this article.
- michaell1998 - May 3, 2012 at 4:51 PM
The Devils are playing with house at this point so if we win, great, if we lose we won't be criticized as much as the Flyers would since their expected to win.
