I'm afraid I can't face the pain of labor. Help!
I'm pregnant for the first time and I'm afraid I won't be able to stand the pain of labor. My husband tries to reassure me, but he seems scared, too. What can we do to stop worrying and feel more confident about delivering our baby?

I'm in the same position. The best advice is in mostly all of these answers. We're made to give birth and the end result of the whole painful process is all worth it in the end. Just make sure you're husband constantly supports you and helps you through everything! And never lose confidence, this is what we're made to do.posted 08/19/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
i was a lucky one who only pushed for 30 minutes on my first and only child. I honestly think after labor is the worst part.... of course i tore inside and out. Good luckposted 08/19/2013 by missmcgaughy18
i was in labor for 22 hours no medication. you will be okay i was scared to but i didnt know i was in labor for 12 hours. its not really pain its just an irritating feeling that keeps comingposted 08/19/2013 by Jonquialr
Take the gas... Totally worth it... Definitely makes it a lot easier. You wont regret it!!!posted 08/15/2013 by NEITHI
I went without any pain meds and I'm glad (though I totally respect taking the drugs if that's what you feel you need!). Frankly it hurt A LOT. Then, when I didn't think it COULD hurt anymore, it did. And more and more...and MORE. You know what the key thing to remember is? It happens and then it's over and you're fine. (I've had one short, intense labor and one extreeemely long labor). I tore pretty badly and yes, that sucked, but considering what your body is doing, it's amazing how quickly you're able to recover (whether you delivered vaginally or via C-section. The labor itself isn't *usually* at its most unbearably intense for too long. So think of it as a manageable amount of time to be in terrible pain. There is an end! And all totally worth it, btw. Good luck!posted 08/13/2013 by dualblue
God created our bodies to tolerate such pain :) so relax, breath, push and enjoy your production :)posted 08/12/2013 by Alyazi
Honestly, there is nothing you can really do but just sit back and patiently wait. Trust me, I was scared of labor too. We all are. We see movies, hear stories, and just wonder how it will be for us. If it makes you fee more at ease, try taking Lamaze classes. You can always take an epidural to help with the pain, but that is up to you and if you are able to take it. I refused to take pain killers for both of my kids as I read both pros/cons to the epidural. Just to be on the safe side, I refused it, and as much as I would have loved one both times, (sorry to scare you) I gave it my all. Before you know, your baby will be here in no time. Best of luck with your delivery!posted 08/12/2013 by D929
Shouldnt Have Got Pregnant And Put Sumat On The End !!!!! From Jezza Kyleposted 08/11/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Don't be afraid, women do it ALL day EVERY day and have since the beginning of time! One thing that helped me was thinking to myself that this is what our bodies are made for!! It's true. And it really helped get me through it. Plus, there is so much you can do to help the pain, nothing to worry about really. And you get the best gift of all in the end!posted 08/08/2013 by iheartu86
I am 5'3" and delivered completely natural! I was soooo terrified and nervous but when I thought about how long I have been waiting for that moment and that I will FINALLY get to hold my little boy and meet him, I wasn't as scared. I just needed to be assured that he was still okay and that we were progressing. When I was going through the pushing I kept thinking, how can ANYONE forget this pain?! But honestly, you completely forget after a little while. But as soon as you give that final push and that baby is in your arms, you will IMMEDIATELY find that it was so completely worth every contraction and every ounce of pain! You're going to be okay hun :) and if you are still scared, go ahead and get a small amount of pain killers if you aren't up for the epidural. Good luck!!posted 08/08/2013 by leahmarie1191

The Internet of Things
By the year 2040, anything and everything that can be tagged with a wireless identifier will probably have one (or more). Tiny, wireless electronic devices that are attached to an object to connect it to the Internet of Things (IoT).
Smart Homes
My home is not very smart. It does not know when to start my coffee or how to clean the floor. It has difficulty distinguishing between a roaring grease fire and a steamy shower, which makes it a good thing it can't remember the number to call in an emergency.

Approaching the Singularity
Surfing the web for The Singularity gives me a gnarly headache. No doubt a reaction to asking my brain to find ways of replacing itself. Both intriguing and frightening, my approach to the Singularity is to treat it like a dessert tray--the further it is away, the less I am infatuated by it.

Friends and dating, nothing too serious
I am separated, and looking for friends or dating. Being a bit of a grammar nazi, I hate texting shorthand, so if you text things like "ur", or can't even almost spell you can move on to the next profile. Due to my busy schedule, I only have free time for hanging out with friends every other weekend. Believing in honesty and being upfront, you should know that I am an indoor person. I don't camp, unless it involves a hotel room, so I guess that makes me a city mouse. I love a good museum, art gallery, or something more relaxed like bowling or a movie. The problem with liking museums and art galleries, is that I hate dressing up. I am more of a jeans and a sweatshirt kind of girl. I am looking for someone who shares some or all of my interests, and is not in a rush to get into a relationship. If you are interested, send me a message. Thanks and have a great day.

World Reaction to the Clinton Impeachment Hearings
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
- Full coverage of the impeachment hearings.
- Dec. 14, 1998: How are the American people reacting to the impeachment developments in Washington?
- Dec. 1, 1998: The House impeachment inquiry focuses on the consequences of perjury.
- Nov. 27, 1998: President Clinton answers questions about the Lewinsky matter put to him by the House Judiciary Committee.
- Nov. 20, 1998: Shields and Gigot on the impeachment hearings and the resignation of Sam Dash.
- Nov. 19, 1998: Two members of the House Judiciary Committee discuss Kenneth Starr's testimony.
TERENCE SMITH: Around the world the Clinton impeachment was a major story, and the job of foreign correspondents in Washington was to explain the events to their readers and viewers overseas. We get a sampling now from four journalists: Martin Kettle is Washington bureau chief for The Guardian, a British newspaper. Mohammed Wahby is a political columnist for the Egyptian weekly magazine Al Mussawar. Rich Mkhondo is Washington correspondent for the Independent Newspapers of South Africa. And Ayako Doi is editor of the Japan Digest, a publication that follows the Japanese press.
TERENCE SMITH: Welcome to you all. Rich Mkhondo, this was quite a spectacle for Americans this past week or so of impeachment. I wonder how it was portrayed in South Africa and how it was received.
RICH MKHONDO: With a lot of surprise and excitement, sometimes cynicism, but it was, indeed, a very big spectacle. Many South Africans – particularly let me talk on behalf of maybe South Africans and maybe Southern Africa because when President Mandela was here, he did mention it during his speech at the White House that he spoke to several leaders in Southern Africa who actually support President Clinton. The surprising thing is that many South Africans or Southern Afrikaaners believe that this has been a waste of money, a waste of time. They are surprised that the United States can spend so much money to investigate what they at the moment regard as private life of a president. You know, maybe the reason is that in that region we are dealing with issues of life and death. There are things like poverty, unemployment, and so on. Someone even wrote an e-mail to me and said if the U.S. could spend $1 million — of the $50 million they've spent — to try and create jobs in our continent, they could do it – could go a long way.
TERENCE SMITH: Martin Kettle, impeachment, after all, is a British tradition, so it's not very foreign to the public you write for, but what – what was their reaction?
MARTIN KETTLE: Well, we haven't had an impeachment, I think, for quite a long time – many centuries — so most of my readers haven't lived through something quite like this. I think the reaction is a combination of shock and delight.
TERENCE SMITH: Delight?
MARTIN KETTLE: I think it's fantastic entertainment. And people are just amazed by it. And I think I have to say – I hope I don't offend any Americans by saying this – but I think that for some people in Europe there is a sort of pleasure in seeing the number one nation, which now dominates all our lives, getting into such a mess over such a question. I think there is a sort of sneaking laughter behind the hand, if I could put it like that, about what's going on. At the same time, I mean, obviously, the basic political reaction is this is a really rather shocking experience and that it is serious, indeed, threatening and dangerous development, not just the United States, whose interests I think most West Europeans have very much at heart, but also in terms of international stability and the – and the resolution of all kinds of conflict, like Iraq, of course, in recent days, but many of the big international questions too. Internationally, the United States is making a bit of a fool of itself, and I think that is a damaging thing for the United States, which a lot of people here don't really realize.
TERENCE SMITH: Mohammed Wahby, does any of this make sense to the Egyptian reader?
MOHAMMED WAHBY: You see, for us I think it was the timing that – the fact that the impeachment coincided with the attack on Iraq.
TERENCE SMITH: And was there a cynicism, as Rich Mkhondo suggests, about that timing?
MOHAMMED WAHBY: If you have even the majority leader in the Senate doubting the motives of President Clinton, what about us? So it was Iraq but it was also the fact that President Clinton has just arrived from a historic visit to Gaza and making an equally historic speech over there And then a few hours later, almost everything has achieved there was almost decimated, so it was a very sad spectacle for us to see these two things, you know, these two developments coinciding with the impeachment.
TERENCE SMITH: Ayako Doi, how was it received and portrayed in the Japanese press?
AYAKO DOI: I think it's the feeling of incredulousness that this could come to this. But besides that, I think Japanese are rather concerned about other issues right now. Japanese have just formed a coalition. The government hasn't come in yet, but they have struck an agreement about coalition. That's a big news in Japan. And also, as everybody knows, Japan has been struggling economically for several years now, and increasingly in intensity and it is also trying to cope with economic difficulties in Asia, trying to help out at the same time they're trying to help themselves. And it's been very difficult, and as much as – as much contention about the Americans there have been over the years, I think Japanese are feeling that now we have to have the Americans being stable to help us economically and politically. I hasten to add that there is a situation in North Korea that is very similar to what's happening to Iraq if you think of the inspection issue, and so Japanese feel this time about the Iraq attack — it's not something that they can see as a fire on the other side of the river. It could come to their situation. So I think there's a lot of thinking going on in Japan.
TERENCE SMITH: When you say incredulousness – after all, Japan is a country where ministers, prime ministers, resign over scandals of one sort or another – the idea of consequence is not unknown – what's incredulous about it?
AYAKO DOI: Well, I think for one thing that Congress would impeach a president for such an offense. Another thing is that it's incredible for the Japanese people to see President Clinton hanging on so tightly. Ordinary Japanese politicians would have resigned a long time ago, so that's an incredible thing, but then on the other hand, you know, Japanese politicians can be resurrected for much more easily than a president can, the U.S. president can, I suppose, so there is a difference. But still, you know, people feel that this is something that's incredible, that they never thought would happen.
RICH MKHONDO: I just wanted to mention — I've been surprised by the kind of support that President Clinton has generated in the region.
TERENCE SMITH: And polls after the impeachment went up.
RICH MKHONDO: Exactly. Well, in Southern Africa, probably because President Clinton was the first president to go there and probably because he – during his time there has been some attempt to have a foreign policy towards the region. Maybe that's the reason why they support him. The other reason why they support him is that I don't know whether adultery is regarded as serious – in the region where I come from, although it is such a serious issue sometimes, but it would never actually go to this point.
TERENCE SMITH: Martin Kettle, does this reduce, your opinion, President Clinton's efficacy abroad, his ability to conduct foreign policy, his ability, if necessary, to form a coalition over military action?
MARTIN KETTLE: Unquestionably. I think it definitely does. As I said earlier, I think the U.S. is seen as making a bit of a fool of itself. I'm sorry to have to say it, but I think that in many parts of the world Clinton is seen now as a bit of a buffoon figure. I think that's probably wrong. I don't myself see him in that way, but I think he is treated by the publics of certainly parts of Western Europe – and I'm thinking of Britain certainly – as too much of a joke figure for American satisfaction, in my view – and I think that it does affect policy, I mean, in a much more serious sense – in terms of the efficacy of American foreign policy I think that we can almost say that the Clinton administration has now been written off, and that in the long run most of Europe is waiting for the year 2000, and —
TERENCE SMITH: And a new administration.
MARTIN KETTLE: And a new administration – whatever it is.
TERENCE SMITH: I wonder, Mohammed Wahby, if you agree with that (a) and (b) what effect it would have on any effort to move the Middle Eastern peace process forward?
MOHAMMED WAHBY: To some extent but not all the way because Clinton has an incredible capacity to re-select himself, if I may say, if I may borrow your phrase. He has that capability – ability. And then also why did I say about sad spectacle – because Clinton, as far as we are concerned, as learned a great deal about the intricacies of our region, very, very difficult region to understand, especially when it comes to the Arab-Israeli conflict. He has moved a great, great distance from having the United States totally identified with one party to become really an honest broker. So we feel some kind of tragedy that this man, who has learned a great deal, was moved also with tremendous resilience to understand us, that we are losing him. That's why I said sad spectacle.
MARTIN KETTLE: Can I come in here? I think that's absolutely true. And, I mean, in my remarks earlier – I mean, I want to just make clear that – and I think this is a – it's a terrible anti-climax because I think the Clinton administration was in a position to do a lot of things. And in the post-Cold War world – it seems to me-that the kind of positions the Clinton administration has tried to adopt – have been on the whole very intelligent ones, which a future administration is going to have to adopt as well. But the problem is, is the ability to execute these – these policies in anything more than a day to day sense.
TERENCE SMITH: Ayako Doi, you say that the people in Asia are still looking to the United States for economic and even military stability and, therefore, to President Clinton.
AYAKO DOI: Well, still it may not be the word. They thought that they could do with – with less involvement with the U.S. for the last several years. Now with the economic crisis and the Korean situation America is counted on much more than the last several years. And there are some new Japanese governments that said that maybe the North Korean situation may be coming to a crunch in early next year – like February or so. And —
TERENCE SMITH: Just at the time when some of this might be coming to a crunch.
AYAKO DOI: Right. If so, then would America have enough leadership and time to devote to make the right decision about what to do about North Korea if they launch another missile over Japan, or something like that, and so that's —
RICH MKHONDO: While I agree with what some of my colleagues are saying, I don't know whether when we talk about his inability to effectively use his influence internationally would be damaged by this — it's entirely correct. It might maybe be that we still have to see someone coming out into the open and saying I can't deal with this guy who's a sexual offender or something like that. But I am surprised by the kind of response that President Clinton gets wherever he goes. I was surprised – I was at the U.N. when 183 leaders gave him a six-minute standing ovation. Last week when he was in Israel, the prime minister of Israel had to appeal to journalists to ask Clinton about the peace process. In Southern Africa, we're dealing with the questions of life and death issues. All we need is economic assistance from the U.S. I have yet to see a leader who's going to say I can't deal with this guy because he has done this and this.
TERENCE SMITH: Well, it's actually better abroad than it is here. I'm afraid we're out of time. So thank you all very much.

Believe it or not, it's common for men and women to feel depressed after sex, even if it was awesomely mindblowing. So the next time you get it on and your partner turns away or doesn't want to participate in pillow talk, he's not just being an insensitive jerk.
There's actually a real name for this condition. It's called post-coital tristesse (PCT). It comes from the Latin phrase post-coital and the French word tristesse, and it literally means "sadness." Many people who suffer from PCT will experience strong feelings of sorrow, anxiety, or uneasiness anywhere from immediately after sex to up to two hours later.
Why does this happen? It involves the hormone prolactin. Women have this hormone to make milk, but men have it, too. Your body creates it after an orgasm to counteract the release of dopamine, the hormone responsible for sexual arousal. So the prolactin is believed to cause these feelings of melancholy.
Why else might a person feel sad after sex?
Sex is all about connecting with someone, and while the dopamine surging through your body makes you feel great while you're having sex, afterwards, reality might sink in. You may feel scared or nervous about commitment, so you may want to be alone, or get some emotional (and even physical) distance from the person you were just with. Sex also makes us say things in the heat of the moment, so while your loins made you say "I love you and want to have your children," later on that may not seem like such a good idea.
Have you or someone you've been with ever experienced sadness after sex? Tell me about it in the comment section below.

i have this, i feel a great sadness that makes me feel like i should kill myself. but i just train myself to acknowledge that its there but i don't identify with the emotion, i also like to eat some chocolate and drink some tea or coffee to switch the mood faster. but yea i dont know if it would be better if i was actualy with a girl instead of just jerking off. ive pretty much never had a girlfriend and im 26 and im not a slut so i prefer to masturbation
Male 31, I say this in embarrassment. But I'm a bit of a sex addict. But I have noticed if I have sex outside of a relationship I feel like this. But not when in a committed relationship....I'm trying to change these habits etc. But its not easy..
Wow, I get the exact same feeling with my girlfriend. I can feel very close up to and during, but afterwards I almost want to go and do other things because, like you said, I feel embarrassed to be around her.
I have been married for 9 years and have children with my spouse. Recently I have a hard time getting aroused and after we have sex I feel dirty, ashamed, sad and I feel uncomfortable being around my spouse for about an hours after we have sex. I hate this feeling and I don't feel interested in sex. I want the feeling of arousal and orgasm but it doesn't seem to work like it used to and I avoid sex as much as possible. I was sexually abused as a child and young adult and my spouse and I don't get along well so those things probably contribute, but I used to be just fine once things get started, now it seems I just don't get into it and I feel awkward and embarrassed and out of place while we are having sex.
I fell out of love with someone I fell fast and hard for. Now we are trying to reconnect, but it makes me sick sometimes to think about sex with him. About give months ago I tried and I cried my eyes out, and felt awful and disgusting. I've never felt like this time to let him be happy with someone else?

Sergei Bobrovsky, the NHL's 2013 Vezina Trophy winner, might be on the trade block. According to Darren Dreger, Bobrovsky is being shopped by the Columbus Blue Jackets after contract talks hit a snag. It's believed Bobrovsky is looking for $6 million a year, though it's unclear how many years the goaltender is hoping for. According to Aaron Portzline, Bobrovsky wants a two-year deal which pays $6 million per year, but Columbus appears unwilling to pay their goaltender that much after just one strong season. While it's still possible the two sides reach a deal, the fact that Columbus is now willing to trade away the goaltender's rights should give a solid indication of how poorly negotiations have gone to this point. It all comes down to one question: How much is Bobrovsky worth? Bobrovsky was outstanding in 2013, posting a 21-11-6 record with a tidy 2.00 GAA and a save percentage of .932. His efforts won him the Vezina trophy. Are these accomplishments enough to warrant $6 million a year? Bobrvosky is coming off of a three-year, $2.7 million contract. No one will argue that the goaltender doesn't deserve a raise, but $6 million a season seems ridiculously high. To put this in perspective, Jonathan Quick's annual cap hit is $5.8 million a season. A cap hit of $6 million a year for Bobrovsky is probably considerably higher than Columbus is willing to pay. It's also probably higher than what most NHL teams would be willing to pay, excluding the Philadelphia Flyers: Kings of the Bloated Goalie Contracts. It's believed Bobrovsky has received an offer from the KHL which would pay $10 million a season, so the goaltender might have a legitimate reason to ask for $6 million a season. That doesn't mean Columbus is willing to go that high to retain a goaltender who is coming off of just one strong season in the NHL. It's no mystery that there are numerous NHL teams looking for help in net. Columbus might be able to fetch a decent return on Bobrovsky's rights should they deal him this summer. [follow]

Another reason to feel bad for today's little girls: one day, the straight ones will grow up to face a dating selection consisting of doted upon nightmare boys raised by parents who used the power of the internet to validate their sneaking suspicion that their lil' All Star might be a genius. Meanwhile, the girls'… »
Girls and Boys Can Play the Same Sports, Says Reasonable British Lady
There's no real reason girls and boys need to be segregated into different sports when they're young. In fact, according to a British lecturer, splitting up boys and girls into gendered athletic activities may instill nascent gender prejudices so that we can still have endless NFL Sunday Ticket commercials in which a… »
New 'Eggs for Boys' To Finally End Brunch-Based Sexual Confusion
Kids in Norway wouldn't know a good egg if it hit them right in the dumb high cheekboned Nordic faces. One company has offered a creative suggestion for dealing with Norway's pediatric ovo finickiness problem: eggs specifically marketed to boys and girls. »
Dirty Stinky Single Boys Never, Ever Wash Their Sheets
Here's a romantic image to keep in mind the next time you follow a babe home for a one-night stand or a third-date humpathon: you're probably snuggling up in other people's toe residue and butt fumes and dried-out sex scum! And you're rubbing your genitals on it! AH, YOUNG LUST. »
New Documentary Explores the Pressures of Male Gender Stereotypes

Boys With Sisters More Likely To Become Republicans Because Chores
In a weird twist that maybe only further study and/or a Family Ties reboot can answer, the Global Post reports that according to a study in the new Journal of Politics, boys with only female siblings are 9.3% more likely to grow up and become Republicans. They're also less likely to help with chores, and become… »
Undesirable, Unfunny Bro Shows You How to 'Pick Up Grandmas'
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the beginning of the end. America, a once great nation (arguable), has descended into complete depravity — and it's all thanks to some jackass junior bro "comedians" (read: idiots with a camera phone and a hard-on for their own shit jokes). »
This Little Boy and Fat French Bulldog Are Best Friends Forever

Taylor Swift Spends the Night with Brit-Pop Gingersnap Ed Sheeran
It's possible that your fevered collective fan dreams have come true—Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran might be tenderly and respectfully fornicating.

Hot Girls in Tight Clothes Do Not Keep Boys From Learning
When it comes to what we're taught about men, sex, and self-control, most of us learn one maxim early on: "a hard dick has no conscience." The wording may vary, but the claim is always the same: guys, especially young dudes who are still in or just emerging from the testosterone tsunami of puberty, are powerless in… »
We Need More Movies Featuring Strong and Smart Girls
I can't agree with all points raised in this TED Talk* — The Wizard of Oz movie doesn't deliver exactly the same feminist message as the books — but I love that Stokes' talks about how movies can help teach boys to be inspired by girls. The white male normative tales don't allow much room for learning about anyone… »
Knitting Is A 'Good Thing For Girls,' In Case You Were Wondering
Today in gendered toys, we learn that juggling (or its later-in-life equivalent: hackey sack) is a male pursuit, while knitting (or its later-in-life equivalent: knitting scarves for Male Life Mate and the three beautiful Post-Uteran Flowers that you two have together, who—heteronormatively!—frolic in the backyard… »
Why Do We Still Think Guys Just Want Sex?
Men are dogs. Guys only want one thing. The human male evolved to be promiscuous. From Charlie Sheen to David Petraeus, our cultural landscape is littered with seemingly endless examples of men who in one way or another live down to these low expectations. Perhaps men are just hardwired to disappoint, and the sooner… »

Quite tasty.. and yes you will need to add milk or cream as this gets very thick. I used milk and it tasted very nice
I made it with the heavy cream and added cream cheese at the blender stage :) Yum!
Lovely flavor combination with the Rosemary, leeks and tomatoes. I also added some tomato paste and chicken broth and did not include the basil. Mine ended up with a nice bisque quality. Nice so...

Adam Levine must have overcome his fear of "American Horror Story" because the Maroon 5 singer and "The Voice" coach is at work on Season 2 of Ryan Murphy's FX series.
Season 2 of "American Horror Story" details have started to emerge as production goes underway. Levine will play one part of a couple known as the lovers and has described his role as "gory." Jenna Dewan will play Levine's new bride. The duo are also joined by new cast members such as James Cromwell, Chloe Sevigny and Lizzie Brocheré.
Murphy, who recently joined Twitter and has been giving first looks and behind the scenes details on his shows, tweeted a photo of Levine on set with another Season 2 star, "Bloody Face," which appears to just be a spray painted on a wall -- for now.
AHS exclusive: Two of our stars who started shooting today - - the multi-talented
@adamlevine and Bloody Face! twitter.com/MrRPMurphy/sta…
— Ryan Murphy (@MrRPMurphy) July 30, 2012
Levine also took to Twitter to discuss filming "American Horror Story."
Adam Levine
In June 2012, Levine told MTV News he was too scared to watch "American Horror Story," not an uncommon fear as Season 1 star Connie Britton also admitted to fear of watching.
"I'm still too scared to watch it," Levine said. "But I'm gonna try and beat my fear of really creepy, scary things like that by doing it. I think that's a good way to tackle that fear."
In between her longtime role as the beloved Tammie Taylor on "Friday Night Lights" and her upcoming part on "Nashville," Connie Britton starred in Season 1 of Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story." But, Britton admitted to Starcam.com that she hasn't seen it, and not because she doesn't want to watch herself or the show. "I haven't watched it all back because I'm too scared. I'm just too scared ... and I really want to," Britton told Starcam.com. "I'm going to get somebody and literally make them sit down and watch it with me from start to finish so that I cannot be so scared. I'm such a baby!"
Adam Driver, the actor most improved character on "Girls," recently told Vulture that they generally filmed what creator and star Lena Dunham had written, but also tried some of his suggestions. But Driver doesn't know how many made it into the controversial HBO series. "I haven't watched the show. I saw the pilot, and I learned my lesson. I can't help but see the mistakes," Driver told Vulture.
Jimmie Walker starred as J. J. Evans in the iconic '70s sitcom "Good Times," and is perhaps best remembered for his catchphrase, "Dy-no-mite!" Walker stopped by "Today" to talk about his new book "Dyn-o-mite, Good Times, Bad Times, Our Times, a Memoir" and revealed that he never watched a single episode of his own hit show, "because I was always busy doing other stuff."
"I don't really ever watch myself ... I never watched an episode of 'Lost,'" Matthew Fox admitted during Newsweek's 2010 Emmys roundtable discussion. "Breaking Bad" Bryan Cranston brought the laughs when he replied: "It's a good show. You should see it some time."
As Jerry Springer celebrated the 20th season of his outrageous daytime self-titled program, the star opened up to the Associated Press about not being one of its devoted viewers. "I don't watch the show, but it's not aimed at 66-year-old men," Springer told the AP. "If I were in college, I would watch. I enjoy doing it. It's a lot of fun."
Much like Matthew Fox, Naveen Andrews also didn't tune into the sci-fi ABC drama he starred on for six seasons. "I was very confused, just because I never saw this show," Andrews told "Daybreak" about how he felt at the end. "I saw the pilot ... but I never saw an episode of 'Lost.'" He went on to explain: "When the end came, I had people like Marilyn Manson, of all people, trying to convince me that they resolved it really well, it all made sense. I mean, he's a real fan ... He has Hurley's numbers tattooed into his arm."

Microsoft Active in Windows 8 Ultrabook Design
Microsoft is reportedly taking a more active role than ever before in the development of hardware for planned touchscreen Windows 8 ultrabooks. It's a change of strategy for a company that usually keeps to the software side of the business.
Ultrabooks are slowly emerging as a popular new form factor for consumers who are showing remarkable interest in a light, portable laptop but who are not willing to compromise on performance and storage space.
Although Apple's MacBook Air fits the description, the term 'ultrabook' is most often associated with Windows-based computer systems.
Clamshell Shaking a Major Concern
According to a report from Taiwanese tech blog Digitimes, Microsoft is currently working with hardware manufacturers to ensure that the frame, screen, and keyboard of forthcoming ultrabook computers running Windows 8 meet the software giant's standards.
Experts are suggesting that Microsoft may be motivated by concern that should large numbers of consumers be disappointed in the convenience and ease-of-use in the interfaces of new ultrabook hardware, their dissatisfaction could significantly harm sales of the Windows 8 operating system. (Source: tomshardware.com)
One issue to which Microsoft is paying attention is the tendency of the clamshell covers often found on traditional notebooks to shake when a user touches the display.
Such instability diminishes consumer confidence in the system's overall build quality, which is something Microsoft apparently wants to avoid in the future.
To protect its own new operating system, Microsoft is reportedly insisting that clamshell displays be made more sturdy, in hopes of giving users the feeling they're working with a solid tablet device or an all-in-one touchscreen PC.
Failures Blocked From Installing Windows 8
Reports suggest that should hardware manufacturers fail to install components that fix the clamshell shaking issue, Microsoft might block them from installing Windows 8 on their machines.
Those devices would instead be limited to running Windows 7. That would likely cause many consumers to want to avoid those ultrabooks, and favor competing products that are allowed to run the new Windows 8 operating system.
Solutions for clamshell shaking may involve major design changes by manufacturers. For example, one approach for touch-enabled ultrabooks might be to have them slide or fold open in a style distinct from the traditional laptop. (Source: digitimes.com)

Importing food to China can allow more land to be returned to forest in China, yet when food demand from China becomes higher, farmers in other countries such as Brazil have more incentive to mow forests down or intensify agriculture by applying more fertilizers and pesticides.
Liu has introduces the telecoupling framework as an integrated way to understand how distance is shrinking and connections are strengthening between nature and humans.
Liu also shows there's more to this than trade. He points out how growing foreign investment in China has led to more houses, factories and infrastructure, all of which carve into forests. Even getting smarter and sharing knowledge and technology more freely can benefit or harm forests. Spreading the message of environmental protection can be a forest's friend, while spreading knowledge of technology can make powerful, efficient machinery available that harvests forests more efficiently.
And telecoupling science also allows scientists to consider "spillover" systems the countries that are left out of the direct equations of trade between China and its partners in food and forest goods, but who produce the machinery to harvest and transport timber, or process timber, or even are home to routes for smugglers.
"The days of simply looking at sustainability at one place are over," Liu said. "We need to understand how the world really works and acknowledge that the world isn't as big and disconnected as we sometimes treat it."

Linux Journal: PowerBooks are the \'gold standard\'
updated 12:20 pm EST, Fri March 19, 2004
PowerBooks for Linux users
Linux Journal says that PowerBooks are the and quotes Borland's CTO as saying "OS X is my favorite Linux distribution". The article says that "PowerBooks now are common as cameras in geek circles. For the past two years at O'Reilly's two big conferences, eTech and OSCon, PowerBooks have comprised about half the laptop population. At ApacheCon last Fall, they were in the majority. Witness this picture, taken at the hackathon that opened the show. There's no doubt that OS X PowerBooks are filling a gap left open by the lack of Linux laptops from major vendors. Most techies I know who use PowerBooks on the road have Linux servers at home."

S.C. Highway Patrol troopers patrolling Interstate 95 Saturday night caught a woman accused of abducting her two children from their home in Maine.
Troopers had been told to be on the look out for a 1999 Nissan Quest with a New York tag in connection with the abduction of a 7-year-old girl and 6-year-old boy from their grandparents' home.
At 10:12 p.m. troopers found the van parked at the rest area at the 47 mile marker in Colleton County, Trooper Bridget Wyant said. They arrested Bethmarie N. Retamozza, 34, of Maine and charged her with being a fugitive of justice, Wyant said.
Retamozza is the children's mother but does not have custody.
She will be held at the Colleton County Detention Center without bail until she is taken into custody by the FBI.
The children will be turned over to the Colleton County Department of Social Services, Wyant said.

Intro to Firefox
Computing Resources >> Tutorials >> Internet >> Intro to Firefox
Downloading and Installing Firefox
Searches: Integrated and Keyword
Searches: Integrated and Keyword
Firefox comes pre-built with an integrated Google search box. This search box also includes options for searching Amazon, Yahoo, and eBay, among other sites. Additionally, you have the option to add more search engines that various contributors have added. A list is compiled at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/central.html#central-engines .
By choosing a search engine and entering the terms here, you can launch searches anytime you like. Additionally, if you hold down Alt when you hit enter in the search box, you will launch the search in a new tab.
Another search feature in Firefox is the keyword search. Firefox's keyword search allows you to assign a particular search engine to a keyword. Then when you enter a string of search terms in the location toolbar with the keyword before it, you'll automatically launch a search in that search engine. To create a keyword search, you first need to find a search engine that has a text entry box. Then you right click on the entry box and select "add a keyword for this Search". Let's create a keyword search for the University of Texas at Austin.
Go to the school's homepage at http://www.utexas.edu and right click on the search engine on the main page.
You then have the option to give the keyword search a Name, keyword, and a location where it should be created. Firefox already has a folder called Quick Searches created; instead of having it mixed in with bookmarks, change the location to Quick Searches. Let's enter University of Texas at Austin for the name and utexas for the keyword. After filling in the Name and keyword and choosing to create in Quick Searches, click OK and now you've created a keyword called utexas.
Now let's try using it.
To use keywords, you enter the information to be searched for in the location bar, where the URL of what website your currently at is displayed. You start off with the keyword in this case, utexas, and then follow with the search words. In this case, let's try "grants scholarships fellowships."
After hitting Enter in the location bar, Firefox searches using the engine the keyword is associated with and returns the results of that search engine. This allows you to set up quick searches for just about any search engine available on the Internet. Additionally, Firefox comes with some keywords already installed, such as google for Google, goto for I'm Feeling Lucky on Google, dict for dictionary.com, and quot to look up a stock symbol.

One of a kind catch...
Where to begin, I live in Studio City/Valley Village and I'm 42 yet a kid at heart, I was born in Los Angeles yet grew up in Minneapolis, MN. and was destined to move back here. I'm a musician (for a hobby) and play guitar and other instruments too. For my professional job I work in the entertainment industry running a production company handling the domestic sales to post production. Thats me in a nutshell, couples often wonder why I'm still single yet I'm looking for that special woman, you know when you get that feeling inside that everything is just right and you can be yourself around each other. I love travelling and I love food (pretty good cook if I say so myself ;.), art, music, movies, reading, culture, and architecture. I'm after an attractive woman who's both beautiful inside and out, unique and one of a kind. Of course looks are the first thing that attract you to that person yet I tend to look even further.I'm so sick of games and simply would like that special person to enjoy each others company together, to develop into something meaningful....
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Wine tasting

|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
There is currently a growing interest in the spatial causes of poverty, particularly its persistence. This paper presents methodological innovations that have been developed for investigating the relationship between physical segregation and economic marginalization in the urban environment. Using GIS to layer historical poverty data, contemporary deprivation indexes and space syntax measures of spatial segregation, a multivariate system has been created to enable the understanding of the spatial process involved in the creation and stagnation of poverty areas as well as to analyse the street segment scale of configuration.

Readers are invited to muse about the parenting style of members of their most-disliked political groups.
Alexander McQueen's muse Daphne Guinness recalls private moments with the late British designer and pays tribute to his genius.
muse will be available sometime later this year for around $200.
"to reflect, to be absorbed in thought," mid-14c., from Old French muser (12c.) "to ponder, dream, wonder; loiter, waste time," literally "to stand with one's nose in the air" (or, possibly, "to sniff about" like a dog who has lost the scent), from muse "muzzle," from Gallo-Romance *musa "snout," of unknown origin. Probably influenced in sense by muse (n.). Related: Mused; musing.
late 14c., protectors of the arts, from Old French Muse and directly from Latin Musa, from Greek Mousa, "the Muse," also "music, song," from PIE root *men- "to think, remember" (see mind (n.)). Meaning "inspiring goddess of a particular poet" is from late 14c. The traditional names and specialties of the nine Muses, daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, are: Calliope (epic poetry), Clio (history), Erato (love poetry, lyric art), Euterpe (music, especially flute), Melpomene (tragedy), Polymnia (hymns), Terpsichore (dance), Thalia (comedy), Urania (astronomy).

Nov. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Jordan Telecom Corp. said profit dropped by 5.4 percent from a year earlier in the first nine months to 65.5 million dinars ($92 million).
The drop is due to a decrease in gross operating income and a decline in financial income due to lower interest rates on bank deposits, Amman-based Jordan Telecom said in an emailed statement.
The company's subscriber base rose by 15 percent from a year earlier to 3.47 million, it said. France Telecom owns a 51 percent share in the group.

The lay-out is a bit dated--lots of marble and columns, which wasn't a great first impression. However the room and furinishing were all first class. The service staff were wonderful and very responsive.

Hotelli on muuten hyvänkuntoinen ja trendikäs, mutta kun ulkona oli -30C niin huoneessa oli myös kylmä. Ikkunoiden laatu on heikko. jouduin pyytä ylimääräisen lämmittimen joka järjestyi kyllä heti. Erinomainen ja ystävällinen palvelulaatu.

Phenomenally overpriced for this level of hotelPosted Mar 17, 2010
The best thing about this hotel is its enormous breakfast buffet served till 10:30am so that you can skip lunch, and the access to the fitness center/spa/swimming pool -- although their system of making you obtain a pass for each visit is tedious (as is the same Internet pass system, instead of just offering open access). For the phenomenal price you'd expect much more: that the towel warmer in the bath should work; that there should at least be a kettle in the room for coffee and tea; that the mirrored closet shouldn't have a crack in it -- all of the small stuff that makes a hotel worth the price. But the Radisson more or less has a monopoly as the only Western chain in town. This hotel would have been just fine at half the price. Let's hope future competition spurs either better service or room amenities. It would also be a better hotel if they served more Kazakh or Russian food, but the menu offerings in that regard are sparse (just manti) and mostly focus on pizza and European cuisine. Not even one shashlik or plov offering? The result is that you have to venture out into the tundra (-20C) if you want to eat well.

Ekiti, Osun, Ondo, Edo, Oyo, Ogun in cash crisis
Senate seeks more money for states, local govts
STATES are broke, senators said yesterday.
The lawmakers launched a rescue mission, mandating the committees on Finance, Appropriation, National Planning and State and Local Government to probe what they described as the looming bankruptcy in states.
Besides, the Senate advised the Federal Government to expeditiously review the Revenue Allocation Formula in favour of states and local governments.
Governors are asking for a new formula which will give the Federal Government 35%, states 42% and local governments 23%. The current formula is Federal Government 52%, states 26.7% and local governments 20.60%.
The result: The Federal Government takes the biggest chunk of the cash, but does little, according to critics.
The probe, the Senate said, should involve in-depth study of the emerging bankruptcy indications in the states and suggestion of remedial measures to avoid total collapse of the economies of the affected states.
The Senate's action followed a motion on the "Looming danger of bankruptcy in states: The need for fiscal evaluation", sponsored by Senator Olubunmi Adetunmbi (Ekiti North).
The motion attracted an outpouring of emotions by Senators who agreed that steps should be taken urgently to address the precarious fiscal condition of states, in the interest of the country.
Adetunmbi, who supplied statistics to back up his argument, drew the attention of the Senate to the fiscal challenge and looming danger of insolvency and bankruptcy facing states as a result of growing wage bill.
He said the scenario is associated with the implementation of the minimum wage and other recurrent responsibilities of the states.
The lawmaker urged the Senate to note a recent research by the Nigeria Governors' Forum, which revealed that 20 states faced the prospect of an unstable and unfavourable financial standing, given the high percentage of their wage bill to the total revenue accruable to them.
He noted that most states have become social employers of labour, with unsustainable high work force that does not reflect in improved service delivery to the people.
In most states, Adetunmbi said, the private sector is weak and unable to generate economic growth and jobs that are required, thereby making the states and local governments the largest employers of labour, with attendant fiscal imbalance.
The Ekiti State-born lawmaker said the Senate should be concerned that the bulk of the revenue of the states is financing pay roll of the civil service, which constitutes less than 4 per cent of the total population in the states.
He said: "Under this development, six states are approaching distress; Kano will spend 127%, Sokoto 62%, Niger 56%, Zamfara 54%, Katsina 50% and Osun 50% of their gross annual revenue on civil service personnel cost.
"14 states will deploy 30-49% of their total revenue on personnel; six states will deploy 20-29%; five states will deploy 15-19%. Only Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra and Jigawa will spend less than 15% of total state revenue on personnel."
Adetunmbi is concerned that if the trend continued, many of the states will become financially insolvent and increasingly handicapped to finance real sectors and drive economic growth, jobs and improved livelihood.
He is worried that "most state governments now rush to the Capital Market to raise long term bonds to finance development projects".
"Without an appropriate framework, misuse of such funds could spell doom for the future of the states," he said.
The senator went on: "Some of the State Governments that have taken these route of funding between 2002 to 2011 are Lagos (Series 1 – N50bn; Series II – N57.5bn; Imo (N18.5bn); Kwara (N17bn); Niger (N6bn); Bayelsa (N50bn); Kaduna (N8.5bn); Ebonyi (N16.5bn, Ogun (N50bn); Delta (N5bn) in 2007; Kebbi (N3.5bn) in 2006; Lagos (N15bn) in 2002 and Yobe (N2.5bn) in 2002."
The lawmaker noted that the financial quagmire of states further highlights the urgency of a review of the revenue sharing structure among the Federal Government, States and Local Government Areas.
He said "the continued centralisation of labour and wages legislation without reference to resource endowment of states is antithetical to the basis of true federalism in Nigeria". "Such unitarist policies are unhealthy to the development of a competitive labour market in states."
The infrastructural deficit and shortage of jobs in the states, Adetunmbi added, have led to massive out-migration of youths into key cities.
"This has further exacerbated the pressure on urban infrastructure and social services, with attendant slum growth, urban unemployment and worsening crime rate," he said.
Adetunmbi observed that the State and Local Government Areas are the place of domicile and points of service delivery of dividends of democracy to the people. "Therefore, a progressive dwindling of resource availability for essential services constitutes a threat to peace and security," he said.
As Senators elected by people in the 36 states and LGAs "we owe them a duty of representation, advocacy and negotiation for a better deal".
Adetunmbi prayed the Senate to act with dispatch to prevent the collapse of the states.
Most Senators who contributed to the debate agreed that the motion is a wake-up call that requires a decisive action.
Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba described the motion as "timely", saying that a situation where states rush to Abuja every month for Federal allocation is unhealthy.
He noted that the emerging situation is a warning to those demanding for new states that the time has come to merge some states.
Senator Ahmed Lawan noted that the emerging situation is an indication that states are not getting the allocation they deserve.
Senator Bello Tukur said that states were created on the understanding that they will be viable.
The Adamawa-born lawmaker called for the immediate review of the revenue allocation formula.
Senator Olusola Adeyeye recalled that in the past, regions flourished because they were autonomous.
He said the founding fathers of the country structured the regions in such a way that the salary structures of civil servants were not uniform.
"There is no federalism anywhere in the world where everything is uniform," he said.
Senator Nenadi Usman agreed that the revenue formula should be reviewed in favour of states.
She added that more attention should be paid to local government areas.
Senator Ganiyu Solomon noted that too much power is concentrated in the centre.

Memphis, TN -- With family members back in Syria, Raffe Sakan says her anxiety spikes with each passing day.
Sakan's mother, two brothers and sister live in Syria, and she hasn't been able to reach them on the phone in a week.
"I try and call and call and call and I can not have connection," a clearly pained Sakan said. "It is so hard, I can't do much. I can't."
Sakan left Syria in 1990. She now runs Raffe's Deli on Poplar.
"It's a mess, I don't believe Americans, being in this country, and I have a business, I don't think Americans, they can afford to go to Syria," she said. "We need to fix our problems here first."
Sakan says last she talked with her family they had no electricity and there were long lines for food. She said her sister-in-law was only allowed to purchase one loaf of bread.
"I never felt I'm so blessed to be here," Sakan said. "We don't do choices there."
"We don't know who is the bad guy, I mean I heard it is so not safe it is just like neighbors, you can not trust your neighbor next door because there is no government, no laws," she said.
On Tuesday evening, several protestors displayed signs on a pedestrian bridge over Sam Cooper Boulevard.
"Whether you believe that Assad really used chemical weapons against his own people or not, we can't afford this," Joseph Davis said.
Back at her store, Sakan anxiously waits for the phone to ring with news from Syria.
"People who really want to help, who need to help are the people around like Turkey, Jordan, I wish even Israel will get involved just to help," she said. "I don't know."
"I have a few customers they give me hugs they say are you alright?" Sakan said.

Illinois wasn't set to allow gay marriage until June after a historic vote allowed the right in November. But U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman accelerated the law for Cook County couples, allowing licensing Friday – actual marriages still had to wait until Saturday.

Argentina striker Diego Milito is set to return to Inter Milan's starting line-up when they host Schalke 04 tomorrow in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final. Sidelined since 6 February with a thigh injury, Milito came on as a second-half substitute in Inter's 3-0 defeat at AC Milan on Saturday.
"I am physically and mentally well," Milito said in today's pre-match press conference. "I am in good condition. I am delighted to have returned and I'm eager to help the team. It has been a difficult season for me due to injuries but I am ready to transform the anger into positive energy and give my contribution to the team."
Milito does not believe Saturday's defeat in the city derby has affected the Nerazzurri camp ahead of Tuesday's match. That setback dropped Inter to third in the standings, five points adrift of Serie A leaders AC Milan with seven games remaining.
"We have put that defeat behind us," Milito said. "We are only thinking about tomorrow's match, more so, after a defeat. We don't have to prove anything to anyone. We've had a starring role in this competition so far and we intend to keep it."
The Italians, who beat Bayern Munich in last season's final in Madrid thanks to two goals from Milito, have already faced German opposition twice this campaign. They beat Werder Bremen 4-0 at home in the group stages before eliminating Bayern Munich in the last-16.
Inter have won three and lost just once at the San Siro in the competition this season. "We are convinced we can progress to the next stage," Milito said. "But Schalke is a strong team and we respect them. You don't arrive to the quarter-finals just like that and it will be a difficult tie. We want to play a great game and win tomorrow."
Inter coach Leonardo professed his confidence in his returning Argentinian hit-man. "Milito underwent a long period of rehabilitation and then had to undergo another physical preparation as if it was pre-season but now I believe he is in good shape and ready to play at a high level," said Leonardo.
Watchful eyes on Raul
He warned his side that they will have to keep a close eye on Schalke striker Raul, however. The former Real Madrid captain has scored three goals in eight Champions League appearances for Schalke this season. "Raul is the symbol of Schalke's good form," Leonardo said. "He is always a very dangerous player."
Schalke sit 11th in the Bundesliga with no hope of qualifying for Europe next season, let alone the Champions League, but the Brazilian has called for fans not to underestimate them because of this.
"Schalke are in the quarter-finals and even if they're not doing great in the league, we all know they will have bundles of enthusiasm and it won't be easy playing them," said Leonardo, who insisted his side are over their derby disappointment.
"A defeat is never due to one sole reason just as I don't think we conceded a goal after 47 seconds due to a tactical problem. I respect everyone's analyses but there are many factors, for example in the first half we had three chances and they had two but we didn't score.
"I don't think it's anything to do with attitude or psychology. We're bitter because we lost but this team has always bounced back from set-backs and I'm convinced we'll do it again this time."
One slightly worry for tomorrow is Leonardo's own personal record in the biggest clashes - he has never won a Champions League game at home in five attempts (four with Milan and one with Inter) - but the Brazilian dismissed any concerns. "Every game is different, these statistics don't count much. I'm not concerned with these types of analyses, they have no bearing on the game," he said.
The hosts will be without injured Walter Samuel and David Suazo as well as defender Lucio, who is suspended.
