11 Lessons We Learned From Mean Girls
- 1 of 12
Mean Girls is the ultimate girl movie. It had drama, humor, and plenty of designer handbags. We're still quoting it 10 years later around the office, so in honor of the movie's anniversary, we thought we'd take a look at our favorite teachable moments. Get in—we're going shopping.

Lesson 1: Big hair isn't just for Texas.
"That's why her hair is so big. It's full of secrets."
- 3 of 12
Lesson 2: Confidence is key.
"I'm a mouse, duh."
- 4 of 12
Lesson 3: Color coordination equals intimidation.
"On Wednesdays we wear pink."
- 5 of 12
Lesson 4: Beware of catty salesgirls with a point to prove.
"We only carry sizes one, three, and five. You could try Sears."
- 6 of 12
Lesson 5: There's a fine line between narcissism and self-esteem.
"I'm sorry that people are so jealous of me. But I can't help it that I'm popular."
- 7 of 12
Lesson 6: We all experience outfit envy.
"One time I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip flops. So I bought army pants and flip flops."

Lesson 7: Beware of the backhanded compliment.
"Oh my God, I love your skirt!"

"The limit does not exist."
- 11 of 12
Lesson 10: The weather report can come from unexpected places.
"It's like I have ESPN or something. My breasts can always tell when it's going to rain. Well… they can tell when it's raining."
- 12 of 12
Lesson 11: Long hair, don't care.
"I have this theory, that if you cut off all her hair she'd look like a British man."

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
After all the hoops have been shot and the games are over, the recognition of effort begins.
The state MVP award traditionally goes to a player on the championship team, but not this year.
Carbon came up a game short of that honor, but Carbon High senior Tia Pappas was named the 3A MVP basketball player for 2010-11 season. Sara Potts and Miranda Averett were named to the 3A second team.
Pappas has has a stellar career at Carbon High capping it off by averaging 21.5 points and four steals in the final post season play. She has seen varsity action since she was a freshmen. She has been a starter in state tournament play all four years.
This season Pappas averaged 20.5 points a game in regular season as well as pulling in 114 rebounds, dishing 68 assists and securing 113 steals.
Her career-high game came in the tournament against Cedar as she hit for 33 points that included a key three point shot to help send the game into overtime.
For Pappas, the MVP honor was the last thing on her mind after the tournament.
A week ago Coach Carlson came and got her out of class and handed her a cell phone to hear it for herself and she has been on cloud nine ever since.
The honor dampened the sting of coming up second just a bit, but Pappas said she would trade the individual honor away in a heart beat for the team championship.
After several weeks of retrospect she can now say the the championship game was the highlight of her season and career.
Even though the outcome was not what any of them wanted she knows so many girls would do anything for the chance to get there and play.
Pappas had nothing but praise for her coach and teammates.
"Coach Carlson made sure we played with honor and respect no matter what," she said.
She wound up her high school career playing in the All-Star game last Saturday. Coach Carlson was named to be the assistant coach for that team so they got one final game together before parting way.
After offers to play from several colleges, Pappas has made her decision and will sign to play basketball at Westminster College next season.

It began in the cradle of so many great ideas: a coffee shop. Four friends with a passion for photography, a shared background in technology, and complementary skills, had a goal. They wanted to create an all-in-one web solution for photographers—both amateur and professional—to organize, display and sell their images with uncompromising quality.
To achieve this goal, they surrounded themselves with talented people from a variety of professional backgrounds who had worked for the top database, computer OS, marketing, graphics and imaging companies around the world. Importantly, they all shared an interest in photography, with many even being professional photographers themselves.
Our unique and talented team hails from all across the globe and meets at the Zenfolio headquarters in Menlo Park, California.
I am playing many different roles, but one of the unique ones is developing the vision for Zenfolio and helping the team get us there.
Yes, but more cooked or fried than raw…
Chocolate with no hesitation. I just LOVE chocolate and will pick chocolate over anything else without pausing.
When I was 8, my father bought himself a video camera, and I became the photographer-in-chief in the family! I have definitely shot more rolls of film with my Canon than the tallest giraffe's neck.
I was lucky enough to start the marketing department here. Now, I'm even luckier to have a team of incredibly creative and talented individuals working beside me.
Absolutely not!
Big smile.
Definitely ninjas. While I fully support battle training with a bottle of rum in hand, I just don't think it's nearly as efficient.
Departmental advocate for kindness, success, and all things Zen.
The number of rolls of film I have shot.
No smile – I try to look as mean as possible.
Chief Foosball Engineer.
Absolutely yes, the more onions the better.
Smile! I was ecstatic to receive my driver's license at 16 and still love all things car related.
I bridge the gap between ideas and implementation, designing web and mobile products to help our photographers efficiently run their businesses and wow their clients.
It depends.
Definitely the number of rolls of film.
Zenfolio is part of the Art.com Inc. family of brands. Together, we're making art accessible to all by transforming the way the world discovers, personalizes, shares and purchases art. Though our team at Zenfolio has many years of experience developing web and desktop software, it's our shared commitment to photography and delivering the premier photo website service that binds us together. That, and our daily ritual of having coffee together, just like we did in the beginning.
Pretty much disturbing everyone. All day long.
Yes, but don't kiss me after you ate a raw one.
Swirl, of course!
Angelina Jolie. I wonder how she can do all that stuff in a one single day.
I exterminate pests.
Ninjas - They are in a better physical shape, and their weapons are way cooler.
I squish software bugs and describe software features to computers.
Vanilla with rainbow sprinkles
Somebody with a comfortable pair of shoes my size (10 and a half).
I make sure the IT infrastructure is in check using heuristically programmed algorithmic computers, a mini screwdriver, and a space suit.
Ninjas. Stealth rules!
Smile. Stealth rules.
Code to bring memories to life.
Yes, "animal style" please.
Giraffe's neck. Film was history when I got into photography.
Doesn't matter; when pulled over neither would help.
I catch bugs for living.
Onions, garlic and ginger on top, please!
Alive: Mother Theresa. Otherwise: barefooted.
Pirates. Free & fun. Hackers of the open waters. I choose the treasure side of the island!
Documentation reviewer and executor.
I would to break it to my brother that he isn't the only one.
A normal or miniature giraffe? If my math is right I have them both beat.
Bug stomping extraordinaire.
Absolutely yes, because they're delicious!
Nikola Tesla to absorb some of his awesome.
Ninjas. Because parrots make for poor shields against throwing stars and intoxication tends to inhibit fighting skills…or does it?
As the newest addition to the development team, I test the readability of the code, besides my own ability to read.
Sure, I'll try growing them next year.
Swirl. More colors, easier to test my lenses.
The producer. This would surely be a huge box office hit. Just imagine all the explosions and martial arts involved.
I turn coffee and chocolate into code.
Yes! Grilled onions please!
Doesn't matter. Most people look terrible in their DMV photo.
Ninjas! They move faster.
I translate ideas into pretty things.
YES! I've always thought the smell of sautéed onions should be a candle scent.
Swirl, best of both worlds!
No debate, ninjas.
I'm the lone Canadian.
Yes, but cooked only.
The real answer is smize.
I spin dreams into mouse clicks.
Love-a-love-a-love-a da onions
we'd be back to wearing matching outfits again.
The number of rolls I've shot could choke several giraffes. Actually, a lot of those rolls did feature giraffes, giraffes choking on photo film. That was the '80s, back when Gary Larson really set the tone for the representation of wildlife.
A coworker put it perfectly: My name is Britt and I am the Brita filter for the company—I write and edit all emails, ads, banners, social media content and lots of blog material.
Absolutely. Better if sautéed.
My house would look like it had been robbed on a daily basis. Cleaning is not my forte...
Pirates. I love rum, and I love the ocean even more. Plus pirates are hot from afar (I am sure they smell bad up close).
I am Ms. Passion for Fashion/ Karaoke Queen. I enjoy bringing a little air of flair to our customer service posse.
Only sautéed or caramelized.
Someone who wears Christian Louboutins in a size 8.5! That would be a dream! ?
I train the Zenmaster Ninjas.
Someone with comfy shoes.
Ninjas, because I trained them and we are prepared to deal with Pirates. But Trevor's Zombies would give us a run for our Ninja money.
I have a department?
Yes, grilled and caramelized to perfection!
A really comfortable pair that I looked damn good in. I'm talking ten thousand dollar shoes here!
Ninjas! Them are sneaky by land, air, and sea.
I'm helping to bring a new product to market, so I'm doing a bit of everything that's involved with it – brand marketing, product marketing, and general champion for the new project.
The more the merrier, and smellier.
I would try out for a Doublemint gum commercial.
The FLOTUS.
I analyze data to identify trends and/or answer any questions by digging into numbers.
yes, yes, and yes.
Smile, so it doesn't look like you've been there for 2.5 days. Watch the crazy eyes though.
Ninjas. Specifically, the ones from American Ninja Warrior.
Dalai Lama "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive."
I have the skillz to pay the billz.
Of course! I'm Italian.
I should be embarrassed, but definitely a giraffe's neck is longer.
Chuck Norris.
Calculate figures using a traditional, secret recipe.
I wear a myriad of hats (marketing editor and writer, HR assistant, event planner, and more) and yet my hair still looks bouncy.
Stacy London.
I'm the first one up and the UK Rep.
How about a hybrid: Ninja Pirates.
I assist on the webinars and am the lead forum moderator…all while providing witticisms and good-humored fun that helps keep the jive alive!
Air Jordans.
Ninjas all the way. The Pirates would never see them coming.
I am the only person who comes in to work looking like a Power Ranger on a daily basis. So I will use my mighty morphin powers to defeat your customer support dilemmas!
...have layers. OK fine, no.
I do have a twin. Three of them, in fact (V-Twins, that is)!
Swirl! Like a ballerina!
I help in the Spanish department.
W. Eugene Smith. That would be a day I would never forget!
Awkward Smile.
I will be helping the German speaking customers.
Yes, love them, but preferably not raw.
Barack Obama.
Ninjas, they are awesome! Except if they battle against Captain Jack Sparrow of course.
I am the only French native, and I live in Amsterdam.
Raw: NO WAY!
I would be Eva 2.0, a better version of myself!
Emir Kusturica… And if you do not know him, it is time to discover his art!
Second on board for German support.
The one and only is vanilla from Clever's Ijssalon.
Pirates—wild and free.
Translate British English to US English and back!
I shot film for 28 years, so that might be a tad longer than a giraffe's neck.
I come with love and kitty stories.
As a kid: "Heck no!" Now: "Why, those yellow ones are tasty and sweet aren't they?"
I would be like Steven.
I add the "fun" to "funky" and answer questions, too.
Why, of course, can't you tell from way over there?
Once upon a time I loaded my own film from 100 ft. bulk rolls. No giraffes were hurt during this procedure.
Depends on the tide and wind bearings.
I am the lone CS rep on the East Coast, helping to provide extended support hours to our customers worldwide, including Sunday :)
Yes please.
Smile! There was no line that morning!
I bring a bombastic laugh.
You can't have a Philly cheesesteak without the onions.
Edward Weston.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I am a southern gentleman, so you know I brought some sweet tea!
Yes… most certainly yes
I would pick up some disinfectant; that's just nasty!
Never bring a sword to a musket fight!
I giggle at almost anything said by fellow coworkers. Laughter is the best medicine and I work with some funny people.
Snarky smirk.
I'm part of the East Coast support team, and whenever possible, I try not to be taken too seriously. I'm serious about the last part.
No, not as long as there is a fighting bone in my body.
How young do I look? Definitely the rolls of film!
Pirates for sure! They're really more of a team player. Hey, that's my gold!
I try to be a go-to person and help my teammates help our users. I also stay on top of our knowledgebase (to answer users' questions) and try to aggregate CS data to help evangelize and suggest possible feature enhancements.
I plead the 5th.
If I had a twin (other than my currently existing twin brother), I would be flabbergasted and after that I would go get some ice cream.
If you are talking about lasagna, I choose tomato sauce, cheese and noodles. Why would anyone want vanilla or chocolate in a lasagna?
I am the only maker of marshmallows in our group.
Yes, with extra garlic.
Number of rolls by far.
I am the Product Specialist for Mpix, MpixPro, and Miller's Labs.
Giraffe's neck. I only did three trips with film; I went digital early.
No smile.
I delight the humans around me.
Sautéed with a side of kibble.
I prefer to be driven, thank you.

The long-awaited official announcement of the 2012 Winter
Classic between the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers at Citizens Bank
Park will finally come on Monday and while the game itself will be a tremendous
spectacle; the announcement also gives us two other big things to be excited
about, HBO's
"24/7" and the annual Winter Classic alumni game.
If tradition holds, the two teams will also bring in alumni
for an old-timer's game prior to the actual Classic. Thanks to a long history of acquiring
superstars, the Rangers should have no trouble icing a tremendously
entertaining squad for the game.
While some players will turn down this opportunity because
of age, health issues or other commitments, the list of intriguing names that
could appear in the game is lengthy.
Ideally the New York alumni squad would feature a handful of
NHL legends, members of the 1994 Stanley Cup Champions and primarily players
that wore the Rangers' sweater for multiple seasons.
If I had my way, this is the 25-man team I'd like to see
next winter:
*Last year's game
between alumni from the Pittsburgh Penguins and
Washington Capitals only featured
two players born before 1953, Gilles Meloche (1950) and Yvon Labre (1949), so
only players born after 1953 were considered (sorry Nick Fotiu, 1952). And as fun as it might be to see Glen Sather
(1943) take the ice, that's probably not realistic.
Jan Erixon - Wayne Gretzky – Theo Fleury
Adam Graves -Mark Messier – Mike Gartner
Don Maloney - Ron Duguay – Tony Amonte
Brendan Shanahan – Eric Lindros - Tomas Sandstrom
Stephane Matteau - Sergei Nemchinov - Esa Tikkanen
Other possibilities: Pavel Bure, Doug Weight, Matthew
Barnaby, Valeri Kamensky, Ray Ferraro, Ulf Dahlen, Pat LaFontaine, Markus
Naslund, Tony Granato, Luc Robitaille, Steve Larmer, Bernie Nicholls, Rick
Middleton, Nicklas Sundstrom, Pat Verbeek, Kevin Stevens, Nick Kypreos, Eddie
Olczyk, Darren Turcotte, Mike York, Joey Kocur
Brian Leetch – Jeff Beukeboom
Ulf Samuelsson – Dave Maloney
Ron Greschner – James Patrick
Kevin Lowe – Sergei Zubov
Other possibilities: Doug Lidster, Bruce Driver, Kim Johnsson,
Darius Kasparaitis, Mathieu Schneider
Mike Richter
John Vanbiesbrouck
Extras: John Davidson
What would your ideal alumni team look like? Could it beat the Edmonton Oilers?

Studies have shown moderate alcohol consumption can reduce a person's risk of developing certain diseases, including diabetes and coronary artery disease. Though the health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption might be widely known, the link between cancer and alcohol consumption does not garner as much attention.
While many people consume alcohol without ever getting cancer, that does not mean their risk isn't increasing. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, drinking too much alcohol weakens the immune system, making the body a much easier target for disease, including cancer. And these effects are immediate. Drinking a lot on just a single occasion makes it hard for the body to fight infection for up to 24 hours after consumption.
The NIAAA also reports that drinking too much alcohol increases a person's risk of developing certain cancers, including cancers of the mouth, esophagus, throat, liver, and breast. In addition, the American Cancer Society notes that alcohol consumption may also increase a person's risk of developing cancer of the pancreas. That's because alcohol causes the pancreas to produce toxic substances which can eventually lead to pancreatitis, an inflammation and swelling of the blood vessels in the pancreas that can prevent proper digestion.
The reasons alcohol raises the risk of developing cancer can vary depending on the type of cancer. For example, heavy alcohol use can damage the liver, potentially causing inflammation that can increase the risk of developing liver cancer. In addition, a woman who consumes just a few drinks per week might be unknowingly increasing her risk of developing breast cancer, as alcohol can affect estrogen levels in the body.
When examining the link between alcohol consumption and cancer, it's important to note that the type of drink consumed is not the most important factor to consider. That's because ethanol is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic drinks, and the standard size drinks -- 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor -- contain the same amount of ethanol. So more so than the type of drink that's consumed, it's the amount of the drink consumed over time that can increase a person's risk of developing cancer.
Men and women who want to cut down on their alcohol consumption, and likely reduce their risk of developing cancer, can consider the following tips, courtesy of the Canadian Cancer Society.
â¢Avoid salty snacks while consuming alcohol. While those peanuts or pretzels might make a perfect complement to a glass of beer, their salt content will only make you more thirsty, increasing the chance that you will drink more than is healthy.
â¢Do more than just drink when going out. If you're going out for a night on the town, be sure drinking isn't the focal point of the night. Do something other than drink, whether it's dancing, playing pool or throwing darts, to slow down your drinking. The more preoccupied you are with another activity, the less likely you are to overconsume.
â¢Don't relieve stress with a drink. Alcohol should not be used as a means to relieve stress, as alcohol's physical effects on your body will only exacerbate the effects of stress. Relieve stress in more positive ways, whether through exercise or another activity that has a calming effect.
â¢Keep track of your drinking habits. Monitoring your drinking habits can give you a better picture of how much alcohol you consume on a regular basis. Knowing how much you're consuming and the potentially dangerous side effects of overconsumption can be a motivating factor to cut back.
More information on alcohol and its link to cancer is available at www.niaaa.nih.org.

Submission High-Stakes Predictions->
aarondubrow writes: "The emergence of the uncertainty quantification field was initially spurred in the mid-1990s by the federal government's desire to use computer models to predict the reliability of nuclear weapons. Since then, the toll of high-stake events that could potentially have been better anticipated if improved predictive computer models had been available — like the Columbia disaster, Hurricane Katrina and the World Trade Center collapse after the 9/11 terrorist attacks — has catapulted research on uncertainty quantification to the scientific and engineering forefronts."

PAWTUCKET — Streets were blocked for several hours and a bomb squad was called in after a woman told police there was an explosive device in her vehicle that was parked in the municipal lot across from Pawtucket City Hall on Thursday morning.
Police Maj. Arthur Martins said that the 36-year-old woman, whom he did not identify, came into the police station at around 11:15 a.m. and reported that there was a bomb in her Nissan that was parked in the city lot on Roosevelt Avenue. He said it was fairly apparent to police from talking to the woman that she had mental health issues, but that out of an abundance of caution, her threat was taken seriously. She was detained at the police station while a search was conducted of her vehicle.
The Rhode Island Fire Marshal's Office and the state Bomb Squad was dispatched to the municipal lot, Martins said. Roosevelt Avenue and Exchange Street were blocked off by police, and about 30 employees of Major Electric, the building closest to the side of the lot where the woman's car was parked, were told to evacuate. Employees of City Hall, and occupants of the nearby Fogarty Manor elderly high rise and Tolman High School were notified of the situation and just told to remain inside, he said.
According to state Fire Marshal Jack Chartier, a robot equipped with high-resolution cameras was sent to inspect the woman's vehicle. The robot circled the vehicle and transmitted photos back to a command center established at the other end of the parking lot.

The Reactive ink system consists of four highly colorfast dye color inks and two channels of matte black pigment ink. Doubling the matte black is used for high-speed printing of line drawings and text-oriented office documents. When printing, four of the colors may be applied at the same time, since matte black or black is automatically selected based on the media type selected in the printer driver. Matte black will be used when printing on plain or matte media whereas the dye-based black will be used when printing on coated or glossy paper. The unique reactive ink formulation also provides improved resistance against scratches and marks when compared to conventional dye inks.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (189 votes).
In short: PP pull it out of the bag once again!In full: What more is there to say! Read what Running Brave & me old mucker Joe Bloggs have to say about this race and then get ready to sign up for it next year. If you want to get a PB then race around the Maidenhead Half but if you want to enjoy a half marathon then this is it. Apparently it is the race other race organisers come to do when they get a day off and you don't get much higher praise than that.Date of review: April 2, 2014
In short: Friendly Atmosphere, Great Charity Event, Beautiful Course, Enthusiastic MarshalsIn full: I enjoyed every aspect of the event. The event organizers created an excellent atmosphere at the Bisham Abbey Grounds. Excellent course preparation despite record setting flooding over the winter. High Energy Marshals with enthusiastic applause and encouragement all the way around. My only criticism is the Master of Ceremonies failed to announce my name as I ran the final 25 meters but in his defense there was a biblical amount of hail coming down as i crossed the finish line. Will definitely be there again next year just to see if they can top this year.Date of review: March 24, 2014
In short: One of the top races of the year!In full: I ran around with my old friend Ron Faster and we had a great time. Really beautiful scenery and actually quite enjoyed the extra mud this year! Top organisation from the Purple Patch team as always, brilliant marshals, especially around the Flower Pot area, and a fantastic medal & t-shirt. Worlds apart from the desperately dull half marathon I watched at Dorney Lake on Saturday.Date of review: March 24, 2014
In short: A gruelling but exhilarating run in splendid spring sceneryIn full: My first attempt at this course, which turned out to be more gruelling than I was expecting - so I was reasonably pleased with my time. A most scenic route, good start/finish facilities, a well-marshalled race, and best medal ever! Well done to the organisers.Date of review: March 24, 2014
In short: Lovely scenery and wonderfully well organisedIn full: Really pleasant run along the Thames. I really didn't think it's a PB course, but that might have been more to do with the strong headwind on the outwards leg this year.Really, really well organised and a great medal and t-shirt. Would highly recommend and will be back next year.Date of review: March 24, 2014
In short: How races should be!In full: Efficiently organised, wonderful flat scenic course, top notch marshalls, quality medal and technical T-shirt. Excellent job Purple Patch, thank you!Date of review: March 23, 2014
In short: Purple patch do it again!In full: A fantastic organised event once again from purple patch!. Please don't take as criticism but if you are a 90 min or so runner, then a PB is highly unlikely to happen....can be a bit of an ankle breaker in parts!. That said, fantastic scenery and top notch marshals too boot!. The bigger city marathons could learn alot from Claire and her team......well done!. Superb medal as well.Date of review: March 23, 2014
In short: Excellent event, as alwaysIn full: One of my favourites. Super venue, organization faultless, efficient baggage stow, lovely course, great marshals, lots of water stops, corker of a medal this year and one of the less expensive races.Well done PP and see you next year.Date of review: March 23, 2014
In short: Lovely run, great marshallsIn full: Lovely run along a beautiful stretch of the Thames Path between Marlow and Henley.Made all the better by some of the friendliest Marshals you're ever likely meet in a race!Great medal as well at the end.Well done to everyone at Purple Patch Running.Date of review: March 23, 2014
In short: A slick race to run and slick organisationIn full: Really enjoyed the route, scenic, flat and great PB possibilities. The Marshalls were the stars of the day, they were at every junction to guide you and had a smile and cheery encouragement for all. Good water stops with sensible cups (not wasteful expensive bottles, and there were bins-we don't like to litter!) The parking and start finish area were just as well planned and this made the whole experience a really positive one. Thumbs up Purple Patch I'll look out for your other events. Bigger companies could learn a lot from you guys on how to host a race. Thank you, I'll be back!Date of review: May 10, 2013

Comments about prAna Sydney Sweater Dress (Women's):
I have worn the dress both to work and out on the weekend. I have worn it with with boots and Dansko flats. In the warmer months, I'd likely wear it with backless flats. It can be worn with tights or leggings. The small was a bit snug in the rear while a bit loose in the top. (5' 4'' and 125 lbs, broad, swimmers shoulders) The medium gave me extra room for my backside, but was baggy along the neck line and belt area. The sleeves were a little long as well, but I figured I could always do a little intentional shrinking in the wash.
It's nice to have a comfortable dress with easy-flowing material that is sporty, yet has some flare with the sleeves and belt. By the way, the material is unforgiving in terms of hiding any stomach pooches, My friend that is a few months postpartum said that was the only thing that kept her from keeping the dress.

Comments about prAna Sydney Sweater Dress (Women's):
At 5'5" this dress sits nicely about 2" above my knees and fit as I would expect with Prana's other products. I think the dress is very slimming because of the shape and I LOVE the sleeves. I think they add to the shape of the dress and I thought they were the perfect length so that they weren't too low and getting in the way. I like having the sash because for those of us with larger breasts, we sometimes need something to pull the dress back in to be fitting. The material is very nice, warm enough, not itchy, and overall soft and not clingy.

Comments about prAna Sydney Sweater Dress (Women's):
Nice pick for someone looking for a basic sweater dress. I have it in coal. The colors were as I expected, and the fit is true to size. I usually wear a small or a 4 in prAna, and this fit perfectly well. Knee length on me at 5'3". The stripes are flattering, the fabric is perfect (warm but lightweight, not itchy), and the dress washes well. Lost one star because of a couple unnecessary details. The bell sleeves don't really fit well with the dress--I don't see it as having a very retro look to it overall, so the sleeves seem out of place. The sash is also not necessary. The dress itself is fitted, so it does not create shape, and it blends in with the stripes, so it doesn't create additional visual appeal. All in all, it tying it just winds up creating a lump in the middle of your back if you lean back against a chair. However, it looks great and feels great, and I would buy it again.
Comments about prAna Sydney Sweater Dress (Women's):
I think this dress is great other than the length which I found to be too short for a 5'9" 40 year old. Ah well...others will enjoy the quality, color & cut who don't mind a short dress.
Comments about prAna Sydney Sweater Dress (Women's):
Love the colors and contrast knitting, but have a small complaint about sizing. The dress is proportionately larger on top than the bottom, which is definitely fitted. The sleeves on my sz. med are longer than the one the model is wearing. Basically, I am usu. a Prana sz. small on top and medium bottom, so this is reverse proportion for me. But it works. Looks awesome with tall boots.

Fatal Flaw Analysis
The problems of the 787 remind me of an ole professor who taught me that if you have a challenge before you of 100 problems, and you can solve 99 of them - in time, but one you are not sure of, focus on the one you are not sure of - since if you cannot fix that - that is the fatal flaw. You ability to fix 99% of the problems is worthless.
I do sincerely hope the 787 is flying soon and safely.
As for the several random negative marks - it happens from stalkers, lurkers, and 7 year olds unsupervised with a mouse. (One of my kids taught the last lesson - and to her dad of all things!)
Scheduled for 9:40am CST .. here is the flight in question
Really, someone gave me a negative just for point to the flight. Coward. You must get your jollies off doing it. Must be hell in mommies basement.
The same thing with one of my posts, Ricky. All I was doing was pointing out a funny google translation, and I got pinged. We all need a laugh, and I thought I was helping. Or maybe it was the typo I made - but if that was the case, most people on here would get pinged every day!
Me too. Turns out more than one of use posted the same data at the same time. Worth a thumbs down...hardly.
Apparently got under your skin...
Well shit! I live 1/2 mile from KFTW!! I can't believe I missed it!!
Well you did...and so did I. Darnit!
Putting the batteries under full load, including powering up all the equipment, both inflight and ground, will likely be the only way to see if they can duplicate the failure. As I mentioned in a previious post, the elephant is the room is growing progressively larger. I expect the general grounding to last at least a few more weeks and possibly months until they can diagnose a definitive cause and create a fix. Yes, it does seem like saving 40 kg (about 84 pounds)is a steep price to pay when you compare the alternative Ni-Cad technology. That's only 2 pieces of checked luggage on a plane that will hold hundreds of bags or tons of cargo below the passenger deck.
NiCad or NiMH have a completely different charge/discharge characteristics than Li-ion. They'd need to almost completely redesign and re-certificate a good chunk of the electrical system.
The batteries should be stable at 1.5 times the max load. That is the industry standard. Some half baked non engineer decided to play God here. He needs to change careers.
I think one of the problems here Rolly is that there were too many engineers on the project. This is another case of a camel produced by a committee out to design a horse.
What needs to happen is the monitor and electronics be taken out of the box. The cells need to be spaced so they can't thermally affect the neighbors, and the burst discs must have a containment structure that will not allow hot electrolyte to escape. More sophiscated charge/discharge management must be included to handle worst case events.
That's one of the best answers I've read here, Ric. Mainly because it's exactly what I think is the best answer. They need to keep the weight effectively the same, and the only downside will be a bigger space taken up. It can't be too hard to get certification on that.
You are prolly right there Ric, yes. Haha..I DO have a personal grouse with the business crowd. My Weimaraner is brighter than many I have had to deal with.
No disrespect, but that doesn't necessarily reflect well on your dog. You might have inserted 'much' for clarification.
good dog, that one
Haha right on....
Anyone know what 787 that was ferried?
All I know it was china southern airlines if I'm not mistaken.
I hope they are (will) wear parachutes !!
I believe that the only way to fix this problem beside maybe changing this battery will be to test fly it at full dc current and see where it will break, then fix it.
I just wonder, how many pressurization cycles will those composites stand ?
Hello if they saved hundred of kilos in weight by using composite materials why cant they used regular gell battery that are so good with out any problem?
Because that would make since lol an also it would take fuel saving off from what they are now.
CNN is stating that the FAA approved Boeing to do flight test on the aircraft for resting the electrical and battery systems but they must only have essential personal on board and stay out of populated areas. Now comes the real test of what really happen and how to truly fix it.
Here's Dreamliner problem
By Per Erlien Dalløkken
for the full article in a Norway journal , the link is
Details may interest some guys
Yes, interesting details, but also a gook laugh at the translation from Norwegian - such as this line: 'The aircraft manufacturer points out, however, that this is a new fly that far from having any more children diseases than is usual.'
We'll looks like the Dreamliner made its flight without any issue as its landing now in Everett as I write this.
[This poster has been suspended.]
The NTSB just made a press conf on it, don't look good for them. Why is Boeing not talking more. This is not a " No News Is Good News" case to me. I guess as long as ther stock price holds it all good. $76.78 as of now.
We'll I didn't hear the press conference but from what I got from sources is that the ntsb centered in on one of the eight cells in the battery. Boeing how ever isn't being tight lipped about this as they said they are going to build a better containment for the battery and seperate the cells and confine them more so that they reduce the thermal runaway issue also they are looking into software updates and adding more heat sensors to the batteries. Also the flight was a success because the FAA told them if they see any alarms temps rising or abnormalities with the batteries they were to land immediately at the closest airport. And from what I see they landed in Everett 3 and a half hours after take off.
[This poster has been suspended.]
Yea i posted a link to the NTSB press conf. I cant help but think a fire in a box is still a fire and not good. I dont see why they cant just put in a new type of battery. And i think the faa would have to tell the pilots to land if ther was anyabnormalities with the batteries with the problems we have seen. Even if you are the main test pilot for Boeing you will put it done fast. Is ther a CCTV in the aft bay that can be seen from the flight deck? Be a good thing i would think.
The problem with a new battery type is weight and also they would have to bigger to produce as much power as the battery they now use. Also that would take time to design a battery that will work with the system. They say it before if you have something working why throw it away. Now don't get me wrong they are having issues with the batteries but it would be cheaper in my mind in the long run to find a fix to the batteries rather then throw them out. Also from what I heard from Boeing I think they said they believe the issue was created by parts that cheap sort of say instead of parts that were meant to be there lol. Give Boeing and the ntsb sometime to find a fix and fix it. Also as far as a camera in either aft or front bay there isn't any but would be a good idea for them. Also a good idea is to put a seperate fire suppression system in the containment box for the batteries to put the fires out if any occur during flight like the engine suppression systems.
Breaking news on twitter:
- Al Qaeda rules out use of Boeing #787 in terrorist attacks as "too dangerous"
And just where would they find a jihadist typed in the 787 for take off?
Al Q would have the sense to replace this POS with another unit.
An interesting line from " google " ,link on Li-ion Batteries
, reading in the opening para as ...... " Handheld electronics mostly use LIBs based on lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), which offers high energy density, but have well-known safety concerns, especially when damaged " ...... And at another place under Safety / Transport Restrictions head , .... "The Boeing 787 Dreamliner contains lithium cobalt oxide[121] batteries which are more reactive than newer types of batteries such as LiFePo [122]"..... And this piece of knowledge can not be attributed to last week ! Eh ?
My 5 yr old had a toy car with a better battery than this. WTF is Boeing playing at...? Now I realise that we are all kinda dumbed down these days..but Boeing please untangle your pants..you are a national embarassment.
What is surprising about it ? It is normal. After all , with such a dismal performance report , the testing will have to across the board , on every imaginable aspect of usage !
[This comment has been downvoted. Show anyway.]
Lets all pray that a dreamliner doesn't copy the Challengers flight!!!.
Gentlemen any new aircraft has its teething problems however unfortunately the smaller the problem the longer it takes to discover. The aircraft is a super airplane like all the Boeing predecessors but sometimes big corporations fail to listen to outsiders, this time maybe they should such as the MIT or other suggestions and explore all possibilities. I would personally do that
Being grounded for months due to a tendancy to catch fire isn't really all that "Small" a problem.

Linde and Voltaix increase disilane capacity in the United States
January 28, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Linde (Munich) and Voltaix (North Branch, NJ) have expanded disilane capacity at Linde's Upper Mount Bethel Township, PA, site, the companies announced today. The new capacity is required to meet global market demand, and the plant is in operation and customer qualification underway. The two companies, meanwhile, are also discussing plans to install disilane supporting infrastructure at a Voltaix site in Asia. Disilane enables polysilicon to be deposited at lower temperatures with enhanced surface smoothness and increased step coverage versus silane and...

Glenn Burke
Glenn Burke (1952 – 1995) Athlete.
Glenn Burke was a born ballplayer – a "natural" – who spent several years as an outfielder with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Oakland A's before the pressures of living a double life with his teammates forced him into early retirement – and an honored place on San Francisco's gay softball teams.
Burke once said, "They can't ever say now that a gay man can't play in the majors, because I'm a gay man and I made it." He was dubbed King Kong by his Dodgers teammates for his size and strength. Burke was always open about his sexuality with his family and community, but not with his teammates or team management. When he debuted with the Dodgers he threw a party at the Pendulum, a neighborhood gay bar.
He encountered tremendous prejudice within the baseball community and had to resist pressure from his coach, AL Campanis, to marry. His friendship with manager Tommy Lasorda's estranged openly gay son, Tommy Lasorda, Jr., caused additional problems for Burke.
When Burke returned for spring training with Oakland in 1980, Billy Martin the newly hired manager of the Athletics, made public statements about not wanting a homosexual in his clubhouse. Burke eventually quit major league baseball. He state in his autobiography that "prejudice just won out." Burke died from AIDS-related illness in 1995. One of his legacies is the "high five", which he introduced to baseball.

Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham doesnt even know anyone who owns an electric car.
So he is not convinced the city of Watertown needs an electric-vehicle charging station in a municipal parking lot. He also questioned why a state program would be involved in subsidizing electric car owners.
Under the state-sponsored program, electric vehicle owners would get free electricity by simply plugging into a public charging station.
I thought you plug those in at your home, dont you? he asked Sunday. I dont even know why the state would subsidize stuff for the green crowd. The state doesnt give you money for your home furnace or to drive to work.
The city has been approached by National Grid to participate in the grant-funded program that would call for installing one or more electric vehicle charging stations in Watertown, possibly in a city-owned parking lot or on other municipal property.
Funded through New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the program would allow electric car owners to get free electricity to run their vehicle. The city would pay about 10 percent of the estimated $6,500 cost for the charging station and would be responsible for paying for the electricity used at the station.
National Grid is looking for about 70 municipalities in the state to participate. Several stations, mostly in New York City, have already been installed in the state.
National Grid is asking for a four-year commitment from the city to participate in the program, according to a City Council memo from Elliott B. Nelson, assistant to the city manager.
Councilman Jeffrey M. Smith, who has been a strong proponent of environmental improvements, also has some questions about providing free power for electric vehicles. He generally likes the idea of green transportation, but he believes users should pay for the power.
I dont think city taxpayers should pick up the tab, he said, adding it would be different if the city owned a fleet of electric vehicles that could use the station.
The charging stations have been placed on the agenda for tonights Watertown City Council meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. in the third-floor council chambers at City Hall, 245 Washington St. If council members are interested, a more detailed discussion would occur at next weeks work session.
Well see what the rest of council wants to do, Mr. Graham said.
National Grid has selected California-based Coulomb Technologies and its ChargePoint America program, which is sponsoring an initiative to provide electric vehicles throughout the United States.
The charging station, which resembles a thinner gas pump, would provide two 7.2-kilowatt charging ports and would be available 24 hours a day.

A militia, such as existed in the 18th century, consisted of everyone and their dog who wanted to join bringing their own privately owned weapons. Think about this logically. When the 2nd was penned, a weapon was considered a nesecarry tool of survival in most of America, allowing one to hunt and to defend against thieves/indians.
Actually, when the 2nd Amendment was originally penned, it looked like this:The people have a right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and their own state, or the United States, or for the purpose of killing game; and no law shall be passed for disarming the people or any of them, unless for crimes committed, or real danger of public injury from individuals; and as standing armies in the time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up; and that the military shall be kept under strict subordination to and be governed by the civil powers.
But this version was rejected! While most of the Bill of Rights were copied unchanged from the anti-Federalists' "Reasons of Dissent," they made some big changes to the 2nd Amendment. They very specifically took OUT any idea that the Constitutional justification for guns had anything to do with hunting or self-defense. The only reason for gun rights at the Constitutional level was for the state militias. Lesser gun regulation was handled by the states, and not a matter for Constitutional attention.

ADAMS As the village Board of Trustees on Monday set up a timetable for a permissive referendum so it could borrow money to expand the fire hall, it also heard pointed criticism about the projects costs.
Village Planning Board Chairman William J. Doe said that although the project is needed, the estimated price tag of more than $1 million puts the village in dire straits, and especially the taxpayers.
Pointing out other large costs the village is taking on by searching for water and paying for its new office building, Mr. Doe asked whether the project could be held until more money was available.
It still comes down to 675 people, he said. Thats a small pool of people to be calling for money from.
He also accused the village of informing the town of the project at the tail end, a claim Mayor Patricia C. Sweetland disputed.
This is not a new project, she said.
Ms. Sweetland said that the Fire Department is approaching a danger point for fitting its vehicles into the building and that each year we put this off, we see the price go up.
She added that the villages 6 percent tax rate increase this year, from $6.68 to $7.10 per $1,000 of assessed value, was set so it could remain consistent for several years.
The projected costs of the project, Ms. Sweetland said, already have gone down by tapping village and town employees for some of the site work and may go down even further based on the bids that will be coming in from now to the middle of August.
A 30-day period for residents to petition against the funding will take place from July 10 to Aug. 12.
If a petition with enough signatures is submitted to the village by the end of the 30-day period, the borrowing will be put to a public vote at a date to be determined.
A public hearing about a potential referendum and the planned borrowing will take place July 15.
Advertising of bids for the project will begin July 18 and end Aug. 15.
If there is no public vote about the funding, the earliest the board could pass a bonding resolution and award the project is Aug. 19.
The board also approved a public hearing for the July 15 meeting to discuss a transfer of funds between village accounts to pay for road work on East Church Street.

CUMBERLAND — Heidi Josephson is well aware her Cumberland High squads have little to no chance to compete for state crowns at the R.I. Interscholastic Swimming Championships, slated for the new Brown University natatorium on Saturday at 2 p.m. (for girls) and Sunday at 1 (boys).
That doesn't mean the veteran coach isn't truly excited about what could happen when the starter's gun sounds for the first event.
On the female side, Josephson can't wait to see if Clipper senior captain Courtney Kent is able to manufacture triumphs in her two specialties – the 200- and 500-yard freestyles – come Saturday. Should Kent accomplish that amazing feat, she not only would gain her sixth and seventh individual career state titles, but also defend those two event crowns for the third consecutive year. (Then again, at the 500 distance, it would be the fourth straight winter she snagged the championship).
The 18-year-old aquawoman is seeded first in both races, the shorter distance with a time of 1:54.88 and the longer at 5:00.00, but there's much more at stake.
"Courtney will be trying to break Elizabeth Beisel's state record in the 200, which is in the 1:52-high or 1:53-low range," Josephson said of Beisel, the former North Kingstown High great and multi-Olympic medalist. "I think she's got as good go at it. She's only a second away, and she's in a pretty good competitive position to give it a try.
"I'm not saying she'll definitely break it; I mean, we're talking about Liz Beisel here," she added with a laugh. "But she's swimming fast right now, and she's the ultimate competitor."
On Feb. 3, at the Division I Championships at Roger Williams University, Kent took the 200 freestyle in 1:56.99 and the 500 in 5:06.13. She, however, has registered a lifetime-best clocking of 1:53.8, that achieved while representing her USA Swimming-affilated club team, Crimson Aquatics of Whitinsville.
In the 500, she has swum as fast as 4:55.6, so chasing another Ocean State title is well within her grasp.
"(RIIL officials) haven't sent out the seed sheets yet, so I'm not sure exactly where some of our other girls may stand, but I expect (junior) Kenzie McCormick to do well," Josephson said. "She finished second behind Courtney in the 200 freestyle (at the Division I meet), and did her best time of 2:04.77. She'll also swim the 100 butterfly, and she was second behind Ivana Andrews of La Salle by just two-hundredths of a second. (Andrews went 1:03.23, McCormick 1:03.25).
Josephson is also hoping for solid top-three or top-six placements from senior Kayla Zerva, who will compete in the 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke; and freshman Kayleigh Canavan, who took third at the D-I meet in the 100 breaststroke (PR of 1:12.73) and fourth in the 50 freestyle (26.66);
The coach is also primed to see how two of her three relays will fare. The 200 medley relay foursome of Kent, Canavan, senior Kate LeBeau and Zerva took that championship on Feb. 3 with a time of 1:56.23 (after placing third at the Bay View Invitational way back on Jan. 6).
Likewise, the 200 freestyle relay quartet of Kent, McCormick, Canavan and Zerva finished first at the same D-I event in 1:45.63.
"The medley relay is within a couple of tenths of the school record, which is approximately five years old, and the (200) freestyle relay is pretty close, too," Josephson said. "The thing I'm not sure about is who may make a run out of Division II (as those squads competed in that meet on Tuesday night at RWU after two blizzard-related postponements). I know South Kingstown has got a tremendous team.
"It should be Prout, North Kingstown, South Kingstown and La Salle (vying for the team championship," she continued. "I don't think we'll be in the mix because we don't have as much depth as those other schools. We've got some outstanding swimmers, but we don't have the quantity, the big numbers."
Like Kent, Cumberland senior captain Andrew Bauer also has clinched the top seed in the 200 and 500 freestyles, and – according to Josephson – he has the chance to make a little history himself.
In the former race, he shattered the school record, previously held by mid-1980s phenom Matt Gilson, when he snagged the title at the Read/Watmough Invitational (also at RWU) with a 1:46.41 clocking. He broke it again in a mere dual meet against Smithfield in 1:46.33, and managed 1:46.64 while placing first at the Division I Championship. He also took the 500 freestyle in 4:55.82 (though he has swum as fast as 4:53.51).
That's one reason he decided to register for that event – should he break 4:53.00, he'll set a new CHS mark, one held since the mid-'80s by Mark Bonneteymard.
Still, even more school records could be in the offing for Bauer, and Josephson is anxious to see if their ambitious, though possible, plan will work.
"He's swimming really well right now," Josephson noted. "We don't know if it will happen, but we stacked both the 200 and 400 freestyle relays, and Andrew will lead off both."
The logic is really quite simple: Interscholastic League rules recognize times achieved by leadoff relay swimmers as state records because they come from a "dead" start. (The other three do what are considered "rolling" starts, which are deemed about a half-tick faster than "dead").
The Clippers' boys mark in the 50 freestyle is 21.82, held by the legendary Kurt Langborg since 1977. In the 400 freestyle relay, Bauer must finish the 100 leg faster than 48.10, and that would erase Don Hunt's record, which has stood for about 27 years.
"Andrew has a chance at breaking his own record in the 200 free, and getting those in the 50, 100 and 500," Josephson stated. "If all those things happen, it would be one crazy, wonderful day. He currently has the top recorded times in the state in the 50 and 100, so it's more than possible. He actually swam the first leg of the 400 free relay in 46.60, so he's more than capable of doing it."
Andrew won't be the only Bauer who hopes to rake in the points at states. His kid brother, sophomore Jack, will compete in the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke. In the former, he took third at the D-I meet in a PR of 56.44, and, the latter, second in another best-ever clocking of 58.35.
"Jack should be seeded in the top three or four in both," she said. "It's not like it used to be, where there was a wide margin (of speed) between Division I and the other two. Now it's much closer, which ultimately is great for the sport. There are some very talented swim coaches out there, so all the times have become faster."
Josephson also is anticipating good things for senior Mike Constantino, who will compete in the 200 individual medley and the 100 butterfly, his specialty. Constantino placed 11th in the butterfly (1:04.41) and 13th in the IM (2:26.42).
The elder Bauer most probably will swim the 200 freestyle relay with Jack, Constantino and freshman Eric Henderson, though seniors Lucas Rundlett and Matt Redihan also could play roles; the same goes for the 400 relay.
"Without question, Hendricken's the team to beat on the boys' side," Josephson indicated of the Hawks, who haven't lost a title in at least two decades. "At the Division I meet, Hendricken was first and Smithfield, which is very strong under (head coach) Dave Cote, took second.
"Again, our downfall is going to be not quality, we've got plenty of that, but quantity," she added. "All of my kids always give it their all. It's remarkable with the boys and the girls how well they've done this season, but we don't have the numbers to be able to compete for a state championship."
The good news for the Clippers: If all goes well, their standouts will bus home with some hardware.

Donors responded with great kindness and their pocket books when the floods occurred last year in the Burmese Refugee camps. (see our main project). We have been able to recover alot. But there are still details that are unfinished, that would help our teams continue their work to treat people in the camp, who want to recover from substance abuse addiction. This project will finish building the floor in part of our treatment centre in Mae La Camp, home to nearly 80,000 refugees.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
After the flooding and extreme in the camps last year, DARE was able to rebuild most of our recovery centres. However, like many disaster relief responses, after the emergency is over it is thought that all the needs have been met. Mae La Camp is home to 80,000 Burmese refugees who have lost everything. Addiction is a natural reponse to the pain of these losses. This microproject will finish rebuilding our DARE Centre in Mae La Refugee camp.
How will this project solve this problem?
Half the building is finished. Please see the photos. The other half will get a new floor and a tin roof. This project is to help us build the floors in the larger part of our DARE Centre where we treat our clients, train our workers and hold workshops for our Youth teams.
Potential Long Term Impact
As DARE continues to support the prevention and recovery needs, the communities are owning their own programs. Ensuring they continue to have a place to practice what they have learned and share their skills with others is essential. All natural disasters and weather set people back, but the knowledge and skills remain. DARE Network programs operate on every level at grassroots. These roots are deep and can overcome the physical setback with a little help from you one DARE Centre at a time.

By TOM MCCOURTContributing writer
This week I turn 60 and I'm as proud as I can be. Three score and zip. What an accomplishment. I got my AARP card in the mail and I qualify for the senior citizen discount at Chuck-a-Rama. Is this a great country or what?
It's been a long and bumpy road for me to live to be 60, but I've enjoyed every mile. I've seen things and done things that no one will ever be able to see or do again, and I'm proud. Don't weep for me Argentina. I've earned every gray hair.
I never expected to get this far toward old age. Forty seemed old to me once. Fifty was ancient, and 60 was robbing the grave. It's funny how that horizon has been pushed back as I've inched my way past those magic milestones: 40, 50, and now even 60. Seventy doesn't look so bad anymore, and 80 is doable. Age is relative. Next to Robert Redford and Burt Reynolds, I'm a spring chicken.
There are some advantages in growing older. Some people get to retire and set on the porch, drink lemonade, and cuss the neighbor's dog. Dinner is two bucks at the senior citizen's center, and people from church don't call to ask you to help someone move anymore. The neighbor kid comes over to cut your lawn once in a while, and the trick-or-treaters leave you alone because they know there really is an old ogre living in your house.
A lot of places offer senior discounts when you get to be 60: restaurants, motels, mail order pharmacies, funeral homes, sky diving school, and some Buick dealers. You can go on vacation anytime, and now that the kids are raised you don't have to go to places like Lagoon ever again. Everyday is Saturday if you want it to be, and you can visit the kids and grandkids and go home when you get tired, cranky, or hassled. You can eat all of your meals in front of the TV because there's only you and grandma and you each have your own recliner. Old King Solomon never had it so good.
Another advantage is less and less peer pressure as you get older and outlive the people you grew up with. There are fewer and fewer people to dispute your stories and your account of how things went down. You don't have to be as careful about facts, dates, and names when you get older because the people who know better are all dead.
And there's humor in growing old too. Your arms get so short you can't read the paper without glasses anymore, and it's good to wear a camouflage shirt because it doesn't show mustard spots from lunch. You have to stand in front of a mirror to center your belt buckle, and your muscle tone goes to "C" flat.
Hair falls from your head but grows out of your ears, and you're so blind you can't see it. And you get so shaky you've got to use an electric razor to keep from cutting your nose off while shaving. Your teeth are chipped like grandma's old china, and your eyebrows grow like bramble bushes.
You seldom see the weather report because dinner and the TV news people put you to sleep. You don't have to give your seat on the bus to little old ladies anymore because little old ladies are younger than you.
But overall, turning 60 is great. I highly recommend it. It beats the alternative. And besides, Mother Nature is kind as we grow older. This was brought home to me just the other day. Jeannie and I were getting ready to go to a wedding reception. We were standing in front of a mirror getting dressed. She was putting on makeup and I was cleaning my glasses. She started to giggle.
"What?" I asked.
"Isn't nature wonderful," she said. "The more wrinkled I get, the more blind you get. It all balances out." What a girl.
So don't call to wish me a happy birthday. I probably won't be home. For my birthday this year I've ordered a coyote hunt with my boys. But for those of you who want to help me have a great birthday, I'm registered at Cabela's and Sportsman's Warehouse (wink).
Just kidding.
