The secrets of relationships and household plumbing
As Time Goes By by Abigail Trafford
The first few notes of the song begin, and his eyes meet hers from across the room. Shyly, they smile. It's their wedding day, and this is, "Their song." She leaves her guests and approaches her new husband. He takes her hand and they dance.
Like any wedding, there are toasts and dancing children, a tossed bouquet and tearful moments, cutting the cake and tender kisses between bride and groom.
But, starry-eyed love isn't just for teenagers and 20-somethings. This is his second marriage. It's her third, and they're both in their 80s.
In the new book "As Time Goes By," author Abigail Trafford examines love, loss and loving again in the second half of life.
Once upon a time, when the average human lifespan was 50 years, people married young and stayed together "'til death do you part." Now, at a time when we can live four decades past that old milestone, relationships in the second half of life can give us a second chance at love.
But, it's not easy: Trafford calls later love, "The Big Churn." The kids are gone and it's just the two of you again. Everything is old, and it's all new. You want to stay together, but need separate lives. Past roles have flip-flopped. It's like an amusement park ride that both scares and thrills you to death.
Learning to be together anew can be difficult, Trafford says, and old issues can surface with surprising ferocity. Studies show that older couples are more likely than younger couples to "pull the plug" on a marriage that's unfulfilling. At some point, mortality may play a role: One partner suddenly decides that it's not an option to live with the status quo in whatever life they have left.
But that's not necessarily the end of love, Trafford writes. People in their 50s, 60s, and beyond are recreating "normal," with boomerang marriages, throwback romance and serial spouses, triangle marriages, marriage-without-a-spouse, newly renewed unions and fabulously single lives, with many love affairs. Wow!
I read this book with rapt fascination for two reasons: One, because there is an amazing amount of food for thought in this book. Mixing advice and societal study, Trafford includes interviews with real people, hard research and data, and stories that will sound all-too-familiar to anyone who's had a relationship.
Which brings me to the second reason I enjoyed "As Time Goes By" so much: If you are near or past 50, gay or straight, man or woman, your relationship past is in this book. Reading it will put a lot of things into perspective — not just for you, but for your friends and children. Surprisingly, because it's a cautionary look ahead, it's a good book for 30-somethings, too.
If you've ever been in love, if you are struck by the fact that the number of years you have left are fewer than the number of years you've lived, or if you're looking anew at an old relationship, you need this book. "As Time Goes By" is simply engaging.
Pop-Up House of Inventions by Robert Crowther
Hey, kids, have you ever built a pretend fort? How about a tent in the living room, made from blankets and sofa cushions? Are you lucky enough to have a kid-sized play house, or maybe a tree house? Or, are you happy with a doll house that you can decorate?
Someday, you'll have a real house of your own. You'll fill it with cool things that you like and need. And, if you read "Pop-Up House of Inventions" by Robert Crowther, you'll learn where all that cool stuff came from, who thought it up, when it became available, and other fun-to-know facts about what's in your house.
Many times, when you enter someone's home, you come through the kitchen first. It's no different in this book. Starting in the kitchen, open the fridge to learn that ice cream was first made in China around 5,000 years ago. You'll read that chewing gum won't stick to nonstick pans (go ahead and try!) You can even make the clothes spin in the washer and eggs flip in the pan.
Go relax with dad in the living room, where you can pull a DVD out of the player and learn that DVD players were invented just 13 years ago. Peek behind the painting, open the safe and learn about money. And, just like a real house, there's even a bunch of stuff (and trivia) beneath the sofa.
Every house has a bathroom, so let's go there next. Lift up the toilet lid and find out what people in the Middle Ages did with their waste. Look beneath the undies for some under-the-flap facts. Move the shower curtain aside and peek in the bathtub. Oops. 'Scuse me.
Bedrooms first appeared in royal palaces, so that's where we'll head next. Move the toy train in a circle for some true trivia, peek inside the closet and pull up the shade. Oh, and don't forget to check out the pop-up book within this pop-up book.
Before we go, let's look in the garage. Peer inside the tool box and the nail box. Open the door to see what it's like outside (and get more trivia). And — if you dare — take one last look down the drain. Eeeeuuuuwwww.
Okay. I'll admit it. I sat and tinkered with this book for awhile before I was ready to write about it. I'm well past the target age for "Pop-Up House of Inventions," but it was so much fun to play with that I couldn't resist.
Author and illustrator Robert Crowther hides dozens of facts in unlikely places inside this paper house. Each page is packed with doors to open, cabinets to peek inside, tabs to slide and flaps to flip. Each peek, slide and flip rewards kids with fun-to-know trivia. For those who aren't up to a challenge, there are factoids in plain sight, too.
Although pop-up books are usually meant for smaller children, this one is more for 8-to-12-year-olds, with curious minds. For them, "Pop-Up House of Inventions" is a book they'll want to take home.
The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and she never goes anywhere without a book. She lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 11,000 books.

SANTA FE, N.M.—A full-size, all-original Native American cradleboard with beaded accents and original boards will be the featured lot at an upcoming auction of Native American artifacts, art and related collectibles slated for Aug. 9 and 10.
The auction, billed as "Best of Santa Fe 2013," will be conducted by Allard Auctions. Approximately 900 lots will come up for bid.
The museum-quality cradleboard, made in the early 1900s and attributed to the Kiowa nation of the Great Plains, was consigned by a man in his late 90s who still remembers playing with the piece as a toy when he was a boy. It was later given to him by his grandmother. The man has displayed the cradleboard in his home for the better part of the past 70 years.
The piece holds a pre-sale value of $20,000 to $40,000, but representatives of Allard Auctions suggest that it will likely blow past that mark.
In addition to the cradleboard, the auction will be packed with original Native and Western art, historic beadwork, vintage Indian jewelry, Pueblo and prehistoric pottery, Native American basketry, kachina carvings, Navajo rugs and weavings, antique trade beads, old photographs and Northwest Coast and Eskimo items.
"Sales and interest in beadwork and baskets is strong, as it is in other areas of American Indian artifacts," said Steve Allard, owner of Allard Auctions. "The market is strong, and I see it getting even stronger."
Two additional lots are valued in the $20,000-to-$40,000 range. One is a rare, circa-1900 full Cheyenne war dance outfit consisting of a shirt and matching leggings, with flat-beaded geometric strips, beaded chest shields and a nice contoured fringe. The other is a full Mandan war shirt set, with a painted hide war shirt with quilled strips and shields, human hair suspensions, matching leggings, moccasins and a belt.
Another pair of lots could make or exceed the $20,000 mark. The first is a circa-1880s Germantown chief's blanket, estimated at $12,500 to $25,000. The late classic second phase variant blanket is woven from Bayed, Churro and Germantown yarns. The second is a large San Ildefonso pottery jar by Popovi Da (1922-1971). The signed, double-necked black-on-black wedding vase, circa 1964, should hit $15,000 to $30,000.
A late 19th-century original gold-tone photograph by Edward S. Curtis (1868) titled "At the Old Well of Acoma," signed and in the original frame with the original Curtis Studio label on the back, is expected to realize $4,000 to $8,000. Also, a signed original casein painting by Harrison Begay (1914-2012), depicting the Yei Bei Chai dancers below the invoked Yei deities, done around the mid-1900s, framed, should bring $2,000 to $4,000.
A rare sinew-sewn and lazy-stitch beaded saddle drape, executed in the early 1900s in the traditional style, in very good condition, carries a pre-sale estimate of $4,000 to $8,000. Also, a yellow cedar mask expertly carved by the high-end coast Salish carver Darryl Baker, titled "An Eagle's Vision of Life and Death," done circa 2002, should hit $3,000 to $6,000.
The auction is open to the public and admission is free. Previews will be held on Aug. 9, from 8 a.m. until the first gavel at noon and Aug. 10, from 8 a.m. until the 10 a.m. start time. Internet bidding will be facilitated by iCollector.com. Phone and absentee bids will also be accepted.
The catalog can be viewed at the Allard Auctions website.

Mount Stewart library secured
A hugely important library, dating back two centuries, has been secured at Mount Stewart in County Down.
The news comes after the team in Northern Ireland secured almost £100,000 in funding to purchase the important collection from the estate of the late Lady Mairi Bury.
Explaining the significance of the Mount Stewart Library, Jon Kerr, General Manager at Mount Stewart said: 'The library gives a unique insight into the reading and book-buying habits of a powerful and influential family from the eighteenth to the twentieth century.
'It is possible through the books to trace the history of this famous house and its owners including Edith, Marchioness of Londonderry, who created the famous gardens.
'The library contains thousands of books on a wide range of subjects, ranging from Lady Londonderry's truly magnificent collection of Irish books and her many books on gardening, architecture, archaeology and mythology which clearly relate to the creation of the inspirational garden you can see today at Mount Stewart.'
The books can be appreciated in their original setting in 2015 when the Mount Stewart House is fully revealed after a significant £7.1 million restoration project.
Sean Sawyer, Executive Director of The Royal Oak Foundation, a principal funder of the project, said: 'The Mount Stewart Library contains a wide range of important books that would not normally be available through public collections in Northern Ireland. This will open up some very important pieces of history to further research and will enable the information to be made public.
'For this reason, we were very pleased to get involved with this important project and, along with the Breslauer Foundation, provide significant funding to help secure the legacy of this historic collection at Mount Stewart.'
The funding for the library collection was secured through a range of donations including The Royal Oak Foundation, The BH Breslauer Foundation, Northern Ireland Museums Council, Friends of the National Libraries, Doreen Burns, Terence and Di Kyle.

Classic Style Icons For Fall
34 Iconic Starlets Guaranteed to Inspire Your Classic Fall Style
Classic style conjures up visions of timeless wardrobe staples — the crisp white button-down, a wide-legged trouser, camel coats, skinny jeans, leather midcalf boots, and ballet flats — and the kind of styling approach that's polished and not at all fussy. Certain women know exactly how to nail this Fall outfit equation every single time, whether it be with a masterful display of layers, an eye for tailoring, or the most covet-worthy collection of boots. We're looking at you, Gwyneth Paltrow. But before Gwyneth, and before the trench-coat stylings of Alexa Chung or Kate Moss, the very beginnings of great cold-weather fashion can be traced back to the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Ali MacGraw, and an effortlessly cool Francoise Hardy (pictured). To add to the growing list, we've also got modern-day starlets Angelina Jolie, Kate Middleton, and Kate Bosworth to take cues from as the seasons change. Trends come and go, but these women show us how to capture timeless beauty with a no-fail minimalist flair.

Fast And Easy Hangover Cures For New Year's Eve [VIDEO]
With New Year's Eve upon us, what could be better than some fast and easy hangover cures?
With New Year's Eve upon us, what could be better than some fast and easy hangover cures?
Now that Christmas is over, it's probably time to take down the tree. For most of us anyway. One percent of the population leaves the tree up all year! You know who you are.
How long is too long? Most people take down the tree by early January, and some of us ripped it down as soon as the last present was passed out.
While many of you may still be nursing hangovers from your New Year's Eve celebrations, we're happy to share video footage of the pop acts who performed on 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve' in case you missed the extravaganza. Nicki Minaj served up one of the most memorable performances of the evening, with LMFAO member Sky Blu fighting his back ailment to perform for the masses alongside Redfoo.
While it may not have been romance per se, a sequin-covered Lady Gaga welcomed in the new year by macking on NYC's Mayor Bloomberg. It's fair to say we probably won't be seeing him in Gaga's next music video (as that's how her relationship with Taylor Kinney all started), other celebrity couples followed their example and celebrated New Year's with a little romance.
With New Year's Eve vastly approaching, many are planning a night of revelry — one that usually includes alcohol. But have you figured out how you'll get home?
Lady Gaga will be dropping the ball in 2012. And no, we don't mean dropping the proverbial ball on her career or her love life.
She will literally push the Waterford Crystal button that causes the ball in Times Square to drop at 11:59PM each year on New Year's Eve. Being that Gaga is a native New Yorker, this is a major honor that has been bestowed upon the hometown girl done good.
Not heading out of town for the holidays this year? Looking to do something memorable on the first day of 2011 without spending the money needed for a warm-weather or ski vacation? You have lots of options – some even in your own back yard.

Since its inception in 1938, increasing the minimum wage has proven to increase market prices and eliminate jobs. By artificially increasing the price of labor, i.e. raising the minimum wage, employers must decrease the amount of labor they can purchase, leading to further increases in unemployment, especially for young, low-skilled workers. While employers will be able to adjust by raising prices and/or reducing employees, individuals who lose their jobs lose the opportunity to gain skills thus decreasing their potential for future employment. As America's economy struggles to climb out of the last recession, increasing the minimum wage will only serve as a drag to recovery and may even harm intended beneficiaries.

Office of Emergency Services - Smart911
In February 2012, Missoula County became the first county in Montana to provide Smart911, a free service focused on enhancing emergency response to county residents. Smart911 allows you to create a private safety profile that instantly transmits information you specify to the 9-1-1 dispatcher's computer screen when you place an emergency call. This technology allows dispatchers to relay critical care information to emergency responders in the field even if you are unable to communicate normally. In addition to important medical and household information, you can upload pictures of your family for more rapid response in AMBER alert situations.
Additionally, Missoula County recently began offering two complimentary services to Smart911: SmartPrepare and Rave Alert. Along with Smart911, SmartPrepare is an opt-in service that allows Missoula County Office of Emergency Management officials to access and use your safety profile information to better plan for and respond to community needs during a disaster or other emergency. With this information we can know who might need extra help in a particular area when disaster occurs. As with Smart911, this information remains confidential and secure.
Rave Alert is an Emergency Notification System that allows Missoula County Emergency Management officials to contact you when situations necessitate. This is particularly useful when important safety messages need to be conveyed in a timely manner. Emergency Alert Notifications can be sent community wide, to selected neighborhoods or even to selected groups of people, such as residents with mobility impairments, using your choice of modes (text, phone call, email, TTS, twitter, facebook, etc.).
Together, these services are important tools designed to enhance overall community resilience and individual safety through in-depth whole community emergency planning, emergency messaging and the ability to relay critical care information to emergency responders when seconds count. Starting in late January 2014, you will be able to register for all three of these services at the same time.
You choose what information to share with 9-1-1; your information is owned by you and you can update it at any time. Missoula County understands that these services contain potentially sensitive information. Smart911 information is shared with 9-1-1 dispatchers and first responders in the field only when someone dials Missoula County's 9-1-1 Center from a phone registered to your safety profile. SmartPrepare information is available to local emergency management officials only if you check the box to opt-in for this service.
When every second counts, Smart911 can make a critical difference for you and your loved ones. It's free, private and secure.

The Mosses at Our Feet
Scientists uncover one of the Smokies' tiniest, most bizarre residents.
By Jesse Fox Mayshark
Like any national park, Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina and Tennessee boasts its own set of iconic animals: black bears trundling through the underbrush, red-tailed hawks soaring above the park's verdant vistas, and white-tailed deer grazing nonchalantly in Cades Cove. Now it's time to add another species to the list: tardigrades, a tiny but remarkable water-loving creature.
Most of the 9 million annual visitors to the Smokies have never heard of tardigrades. Those who have would be hard-pressed to see them without a microscope—the eight-legged, barrel-shaped panarthropods are only about a half-millimeter long—but they are among the park's most extraordinary inhabitants, capable of surviving for decades in a suspended state of almost total dehydration. And they are finally getting some of the attention previously reserved for higher-profile creatures, thanks to the park's All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI), an ambitious effort to count and catalog every species of flora and fauna living in the park.
Paul Bartels, a biology professor at Warren Wilson College near Asheville, North Carolina, began leading the project's tardigrade research in 2000 with help from more than 50 students. Before the ATBI, there was only one published record of tardigrades, and only three species had been identified in the park. Now, they can list 81 species—15 of which were previously unknown to science.
But that's not all. In the past decade, Bartels and his team have collected and sorted about 15,000 specimens from the park, mostly from samples of moss, lichens, and other likely tardigrade habitats that they scooped into paper bags and put on a shelf to await further analysis. They also uncovered some fascinating traits: tardigrades' range and endurance. Gravitating to wet places like mosses and beach sand, they have been found 20,000 feet high in the Himalayas and 13,000 feet under water. They can withstand temperature extremes from near absolute zero to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. A 2008 experiment showed they could even survive exposure to the vacuum of outer space.
Because of their rounded bodies and awkward, ambling gait, they are colloquially known as "water bears" or "moss piglets." (Their formal name comes from tardigrada, Italian for "slow walker.") Tardigrades acquire much-needed fluids either by piercing the walls of plant cells and smaller organisms with tiny fang-like probes and sucking out the contents with their tubular mouths, or even swallowing microscopic animals whole.
But if fluid sources dry up or disappear, tardigrades respond with a tactic straight out of science fiction: They shut down in a process known as cryptobiosis, a sort of suspended animation that allows organisms to wait out inhospitable conditions. Curling up into a tiny ball and filling their cells with trehalose, a protective synthesized sugar, tardigrades can reduce their metabolic activity by about 99.99 percent. When they next encounter moisture, they can come back to life in just a few hours; tardigrades can survive in this cryptobiotic state for a few decades.
All of this interest in the Smokies' tardigrade population probably wouldn't exist had it not been for the ATBI, where scientists aren't just counting species but trying to understand how they relate to one another, too.
"The problem that parks and natural areas face all over the world is that we only know a small fraction of the species that occur in each one," says Keith Langdon, who was in charge of inventory and monitoring in the Smokies before his recent retirement. "In places where we have a mandate to protect everything, we need to know what's there."
The benefits of such an inventory seem obvious for endangered species, which, unfortunately, are common in the Smokies: Indiana bats, now threatened by white-nose syndrome; hemlock trees, under attack by sap-sucking woolly adelgids; and the spruce-fir moss spider, whose habitat is vanishing as the park's Fraser firs fall prey to pests. Keeping track of those populations is a vital part of the park's conservation mission. But why go to so much trouble to study a nearly invisible resident like the tardigrade, whose hardiness makes it an unlikely candidate for extinction?
Ernest Bernard, a nematologist from the University of Tennessee who studies small, insect-like arthropods called springtails, says it's because micro-organisms are probably important in ways we don't yet understand.
"We know a lot about the big, conspicuous species," says Bernard. "We know very little about the small, inconspicuous ones, and yet these species probably have, as a whole, important functions in the maintenance of healthy ecosystems."
To begin to understand those functions, Bartels and his students have developed a key to all the tardigrade species identified so far in the Smokies—now posted online for other researchers. That will allow tracking of the populations over time, as the park's habitats change.
Bartels and his students have essentially donated their work to the inventory project, which operates on a meager budget, but Bartels says the pay-off has been significant in other ways. Thirteen of his students pursued senior projects related to their tardigrade research, and a few have been inspired to do graduate work in the same field. "It's eye-opening for students to realize that we don't know everything and that there's a lot left to be discovered," he says. Even in the mosses at our feet.

How to Create a Decorative Floral Margarita:
A floral margarita is perfect for your wedding reception or any other celebration. These can be any "flavor" you choose. Here's how to make your own
- Fill a margarita glass with wax crystals, which you can find at most craft stores
- Cut a cardboard circle large enough to cover the rim of the margarita glass but not overhang too much
- While keeping the cardboard circle in place, hot glue it to the margarita glass
- Make sure that no wax crystals fall out of glass when it's turned upside down
- Hot glue silk flowers to the top of the cardboard circle
- Make sure all of the top of the cardboard is covered, and do your best to cover all of the edges
How to Take Care of Silk Flowers:
- Silk flowers can look incredibly realistic and, with proper care, hold their beauty for a long time. Dust buildup on the flowers and leaves, however, dulls the color and can make the flowers look more artificial than they would if they were clean. An important part of the care of silk flowers, therefore, involves controlling dust buildup. It takes little time--certainly less time than real flowers require--and with good care, your silk flowers should last many years
- Use a small feather duster to lightly brush the leaves and flowers. This will gently loosen dust and, for best results, you should do this at least once a week
- Spray the flowers lightly, from about a foot away, with Endust, Pledge or a silk flower cleaner. You should do this after dusting (see Step 1) and only when dust buildup is significant (e.g., after the flowers have been in storage or in a very dusty environment)
- Wipe off all the leaves and flowers immediately, using a soft dusting cloth. This is necessary if you use Endust or Pledge. If you use a silk flower cleaner, however, you may be able to skip this step or spray some on and leave it
- Let the silk flowers air-dry completely. Place the flowers in a vase (or other suitable container). Keep them out of pets' reach to prevent shredding and keep them away from direct sunlight, which could cause fading

I Love Lucy – Happy 100th Birthday Lucille Ball
We all know that I loved Nick at Nite growing up. We definitely don't need to revisit that. But it's because of Nick that I was introduced to one of the strongest, funniest, most amazing female comediennes of all time, Lucille Ball.
I used to stay up just to watch her and fell in love with I Love Lucy like most others who watched the show. I continued loving and adoring her for years and years afterwards. I think she represents the sort of strong woman we all love to watch and learn from at HelloGiggles. She was smart and independent and brave.
Lucille Ball made everyone laugh & giggle.
In honor of her 100th birthday, here are my top 5 favorite episodes of I Love Lucy.
1. 'L.A. At Last' – This is the episode where Lucy moves to Hollywood and becomes determined to meet a "star". She finds William Holden at a restaurant and seriously freaks out. Obviously Ethel was there supporting her girl; was their friendship not the ultimate as far as BFFs are concerned?
2. 'Lucy's Italian Movie' – This is one of the most famous episodes of I Love Lucy. Lucy is on her way to Rome and is spotted by a famous Italian director. He asks her to be in his movie. Like usual, Lucy is SO excited to get a chance to shine…which she does…
3. 'Job Switching' – Now you guys, please don't hate on me because a lot of these are obvious picks. I can't help it, they're just the classic ones that I love. This episode Lucy and Ethel (our girl's BFF is in full force in this ep) start working in a chocolate factory. They can't keep up with the conveyor belt and things get crazy.
4. 'The Freezer' – Lucy thinks she is killing it in this episode when she buys an old freezer from Ethel's butcher/uncle. She makes a tiny mistake and orders like, 800 pounds of meat. In the process of trying to hide everything from Ricky she locks herself in the freezer.
5. 'Equal Rights' – Lucy, the progressive feminist that she was, demands equal rights for women with Ethel. Lucy, Ricky, Ethel and Fred all end up going out to dinner where the men order four chickens for the table, making the bill crazy expensive. In order to pay for everything, Lucy and Ethel have to wash dishes. Obviously, these ladies aren't letting their husbands get away with this so they plot a revenge and get them back.

ANDOVER, Minn. -- Arson is no longer suspected as the cause of a series of grass fires that burned in Andover on Saturday night.
An initial investigation by the DNR's wildfire experts instead points to the source as a passing car with some sort of mechanical problem, according to Andover Fire Chief Dan Winkel.
More than a dozen fires broke out Saturday afternoon along a two mile stretch of Bunker Lake Boulevard. Crews from the DNR and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service helped fight the fires.
Jan and Early Duffy live in a townhome development where fire came within 13 feet of their home, and say when fire crews were spread thin, a stranger helped come to their rescue.s
"I thought it was barbeque and it was flames," said Jan Duffy. "One guy in particular just happened to be driving by, saw there was a problem, ran into our yard, grabbed our hose out of the backyard and started watering it down. Not a volunteer fireman, just a guy driving by, we should have his name."
Chief Winkel says other passerbys stomped out flames with their feet and used their own fire extinguishers. He's urging everyone to use extreme caution as most wildfires in Minnesota happen in April or May.
"One spark will do it. If the weather would continue to be n the 60s and 70s, warm sunny and breezy like this, I think we are in extreme conditions. Many will forget we had drought last fall that were pretty significant," said Chief Winkel.
The DNR says there is a moderate wildfire danger in the metro area. There are burning restrictions in Anoka, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Pine, Ramsey, Sherburne, Washington and Wright counties.
While the agency is initially ruling out arson, the DNR is still looking for tips in their investigation if anyone saw the fires start.

So, before I get sidetracked with new ideas incorporating my recently-painted yellow table, I threw together a quick scene using my original inspiration:
I call this one New York City boy. It started with a length of printed felt that came back in a bunch of fabric I took to use at hAbitAt 2013. Perfect to turn into a rug.
Checked rug? Yellow table? What else could I do but put together a scene inspired by a New York City taxi? Except, as I searched through my stash of accessories I came across a Keith Haring print that Amazing Miniatures sent me as part of a swap a couple of years ago (which I can't recall having used properly yet). And the scene turned into a more general hat-tilt to New York. (Note the big apple in the corner...)

How to Say Sweet Things to Girls
Five Parts:RelaxSay the Right ThingPractice and Posture in the MirrorHygieneTalk to a Girl
Do you find yourself tongue tied when you're around the girl you like? Maybe you feel shy and flustered around girls, or you just don't know what to say and how to say it. It's also possible that you aren't shy around girls, but you have trouble expressing yourself. Luckily, with some preparation and practice, you can overcome the obstacles that are keeping you from saying sweet things to girls.
Part 1 of 5: Relax
1Think about your reservations. If you have trouble talking to girls (or just the girls you are interested in romantically), you should think about what's preventing you from saying the right thing. Do you find girls intimidating? Are you worried you'll say the wrong thing? Here are some ways to cope with the stress of talking to girls.Ad
2Girls are people, not goddesses. Don't put girls (or that special girl) on a pedestal. It's nice to think highly of someone you like, but no one is perfect. Girls have their faults and flaws too, and they probably worry about many of the same things you do.
3Notice the physical changes you go through when you are around girls you like. Take cues from your body so that you can recognize when you're too worked up to have a conversation. Do your breathing and heartbeat get faster? Do your face and body feel flushed and sweaty? If you need extra time to calm down before you talk to girls, walk around a bit and control your breathing by inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly.
4Don't be afraid to talk to yourself. Come up with a phrase that you can repeat when you feel like you're losing control of your emotions or body. For example, if you get nervous every time you want to talk to a girl, take a time out. Go somewhere quiet and tell yourself, "She's just a person. Just a person. I'm a person. Just a person. I'm a person." When you've calmed down, you should attempt to talk to her again.Ad
Part 2 of 5: Say the Right Thing
1Carry on a good conversation. Now that you've relaxed a bit, you're on your way to saying those sweet things. Here are the Dos and Don'ts of conversation.
2Pay an appropriate compliment. Compliments are nice, but you shouldn't make her uncomfortable. Focus on complimenting her actions and decisions rather than her physical features.
- Do say: "That is a really nice outfit. You have great taste."
- Don't say: "I like those jeans because they're tight and show off your legs."
3Show an interest in her interests. If she likes to play ultimate frisbee, you don't have to start practicing your throws. Even if you aren't interested in her hobbies, show a girl that you're interested in things that are important to her.
- Do say: "You throw really well. I'd love to hear more about frisbee sometime." (This way you've complimented her, and you're opening up a chance to have a longer conversation.)
- Don't say: "I don't really like frisbee, but it's cool that you're into it."
4Say something nice about her personality. This will show her that you have spent time getting to know her and you appreciate her. For example, if she makes a joke,
- Do say: "You are hilarious! I can't get enough of your humor!"
- Don't say: "Haha! That joke is funny!"
5If you want to be bold and say something romantic, don't be cheesy.
- Do say: "You are a beautiful person, and you make me happy." "You are so (intelligent, pretty, lovely, witty, genuine, kind), and I'm lucky to know you."
- Don't say: "You mean the world to me." "I'd do anything for you." "I'd climb the highest mountain for your love." "I get lost in your eyes." "I think I'm falling for you." "You are my soul mate." "We were meant to be together."
Part 3 of 5: Practice and Posture in the Mirror
1Plan ahead. Think about what the girl means to you, and what you want to tell her. What is your goal? Do you want to date her? If you are dating her, do you want to remind her of how much you appreciate her?
2Practice. Once you've got some sweet words in mind, get in front of a mirror and say them out loud.
- Try not to feel silly when you do this because it's important to notice how you carry yourself. Hold your head up (not too high), stand up straight, and look her in the eyes when you talk. Almost any girl is happy to talk to a confident person, and you want to show her that you believe in yourself.
Part 4 of 5: Hygiene
1Put your best self forward. When you go to talk to girls, pay a little extra attention to your appearance. You will feel more confident, and, by putting in the effort, you are showing a girl that you care.
- Shower
- Shave/trim facial hair
- Floss and brush teeth
- Wear clean (non wrinkly) clothes
- If you do wear cologne, less is more.
Part 5 of 5: Talk to a Girl
1Keep it together. Remember that you're supposed to be as relaxed as possible, so if things don't go according to plan, try not to panic.
- You may not get a chance to say all of the things you'd like to say, and that's fine. Focus on keeping the conversation going and pay more attention to what she says than what you want to say.
- If you listen more, you'll find out more about her and her interests, and it will be easier to compliment her later.
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Smile and make eye contact.
- Try to talk to a girl when she's alone, especially if you tend to be nervous.
- Light teasing is okay, but don't respond to everything a girls says with sarcasm. You don't want to send mixed messages.

How an adventure to a not-so-interesting abandoned location reminded me of my intense, dislike for slithering creatures.
It was hot out and sunny with a bright blue sky. Today, Jeffey and I were in search of a relic we had seen off I-75. Just as you go southbound through the Lockland split, a smokestack can be seen peering above the trees, rusted and overgrown by vegetation. Pulling off into the Village of Lockland, an overgrown road was found nestled in this residential neighborhood.
Walking down the abandoned road, we were trying to figure out what used to be back here. Concrete pillars, overgrown by the weeds and surrounding plants made it seem like there must have been a large industrial complex at one point.
A rusted sign on the fence read "Gate 1" hinting that maybe this was once all part of the now demolished Celeotex factory that was located just across the hightway.
Walking past "Gate 1" we came to a decaying, small bridge.
Passing an abandoned speed boat, we found that this was only a small portion of the kind of trash we would find dumped back here. In the middle of a two opposing sections of highway and a large residential neighborhood, we crept through a large wooded area. The cars rushing by on I-75 could be clearly heard, very odd that all these woods have survived.
Finally, deep in the woods, we arrived at the smokestack both of us had remembered seeing from the highway since we were kids, affectionately dubbed the "Well of Souls" to continue with a long string of Indiana Jones references that will become more clear in a second.
Approaching the entrance, large holes in the concrete floor made us a bit wary of where we would be walking.
According to some quick internet research via Google, this was once a trash incinerator for the city of Lockland. No record of when they stopped using it or abandoned it but it has since become a canvas for graffiti artists, dumping ground for trash and a base of operations for paintball players. Interesting, yet this place had hardly anywhere near the charm or significance of some of the other abandoned structures in the area.
The incinerator is only one room with a basement below it. All the glass in the windows has been knocked out and there's nothing there to indicate any real historical information. Sometimes half the fun of exploring abandoned places is seeing the personal items and clues to the past that are left behind, here though there wasn't much to see.
Seicer and I had been here during the previous winter. Due to the cold, we didn't stick around long, but managed to check out the basement. Jeffey and I took a look down the dark stairs. Before making our way down we checked for flashlights and realized we forgot them. Gazing into the dimly lit basement below I noticed a black rope about three feet long, almost like a bungee cord. This is where both of us got reminded from that famous scene in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." The one where Sallah says to Indiana Jones: "Indy, why is the floor moving?" Then Indiana throws a torch down to the ground to see that the floor is covered in hundreds of slithering snakes to which Indiana reply's:
I threw a rock at the supposed bungee cord. The bungee cord then started to slither and move further down into the basement. This was no bungee cord, it was a black snake. That was enough for us. Like Indiana Jones, we enjoy exploring and uncovering the past, but at the same time just like Harrison Ford's character...I absolutely hate snakes. Figuring there would be no treasure below like in the movies, or at least anything remotely photographically interesting, we left the abandoned incinerator.
Bordered by the highway, we continued to explore the surrounding woods. Now mostly overgrown by the surrounding plant life, asphalt still remains in some areas revealing there was once a road back here.
Very jumpy after coming face to face with a three foot long snake we walked very carefully through the overgrown weeds and tall grass. Did I mention I hate snakes? At one point Jeffey's camera strap fell on my arm while we were walking. Mistaking this for a snake, I must have jumped five feet off the ground letting out a loud "What the hell, man!?"
It seems many of the locals use this are to dump trash. Televisions, old roofing, metal scraps and ever the aforementioned boat were among many things dumped on the grounds back here.
Eventually we came across a clearing where there was a large collection of children's toys, chairs and old metal silverware. We figured this may be an encampment for a homeless resident. Not wanting to bother anyone or spook the natives, we cautiously pressed forward into the wooded abyss between the interstates before coming to an impasse:
Left or right? A fork in the road, which way would we go? What would we find down each road? More snakes? More trash? The answer...
...absolutely nothing! Just more clearings, not a clue to what once was back here.
Hot, sweaty, uninterested and not desiring to come into contact with any more snakes, we made our way out of there. Stopping first to check out some of the construction that screws up everyone's morning commute:
The adventure will soon continue...

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series head to Michigan International Speedway, while the IZOD IndyCar Series runs at The Milwaukee Mile on this Father's Day Weekend.
Sprint Cup Series
Quicken Loans 400 - Michigan International Speedway - Brooklyn, MI
For the second consecutive week, the Sprint Cup Series will compete at a racetrack that has recently been repaved.
Michigan International Speedway is the next stop on the series schedule this season. The two-mile oval, which is located roughly 70 miles southwest of Detroit, has a new coat of asphalt on it. Michigan's new pavement process began immediately after the August 2011 race and concluded in November, giving the asphalt time to settle and cure during the winter.
Five drivers -- Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Brad Keselowski and Juan Pablo Montoya -- participated in a Goodyear Tire test at Michigan. Speeds reached as high as 216 mph.
"When we were in race trim, we were almost four seconds faster than we were racing last year, which is quite a difference," Kenseth said.
Michigan has been repaved three times in the past -- 1977, 1986 and 1995. The track was built in 1968.
"It's a very fast track but a very comfortable-feeling pace," Gordon said. "The track drives so similar to the way it did before, and I believe it's going to have multiple grooves."
Last Saturday, the series ran at the newly-repaved Pocono Raceway, where the top-36 drivers in qualifying for the Pocono 400 surpassed Kasey Kahne's 2004 track record of 172.533 mph.
The top qualifying speed at Michigan is 194.232 mph, set by Ryan Newman in 2005. That record is expected to be broken during Saturday's qualifying.
NASCAR is allowing Sprint Cup teams to test at Michigan on Thursday to get familiar with the new track surface. Teams were also granted testing time last week at Pocono, with a half-day on Wednesday and a full-day on Thursday.
After finishing seventh at Pocono, Kenseth moved atop the standings. He holds a 10-point advantage over Dale Earnhardt Jr. Greg Biffle fell from first to third in points following his 24th-place run. Biffle is now 16 markers behind his Roush Fenway Racing teammate, Kenseth.
Earnhardt Jr.'s winless streak in the series has now reached the four-year mark. His last victory came in June 2008 at Michigan (143 races ago). In his fifth year as driver of the No. 88 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, Earnhardt Jr. is having one of his finest seasons in Cup. He has scored 11 top-10 finishes, including two second-place runs, in the first 14 races.
"We are doing pretty well on our end with the No. 88 team," Earnhardt Jr. said. "We just need to get a couple of wins to really kind of solidify what we are doing about our consistency and how well we are running to really put the icing on the cake. It would be nice to get a couple of wins."
Earnhardt Jr's car for Michigan will feature a specially-wrapped Batman-themed paint scheme to promote the soon-to-be-released movie, "The Dark Knight Rises." The scheme includes the Batman logo on the hood and the faces of the two leading characters, "Batman" and "Bane," on each side.
"I'm looking forward to going to Michigan and testing there for the day," Earnhardt Jr. noted. "With the repave, some things might be similar to Pocono. We learned a lot during the five days up there, and hopefully, we can go to Michigan with some of that stuff we learned and have a strong car."
Forty-five teams are on the preliminary entry list for the Quicken Loans 400.
Nationwide Series
Alliance Truck Parts 250 - Michigan International Speedway - Brooklyn, MI
Heading into Saturday's 250-mile race at Michigan International Speedway, just 14 points separate the top-three drivers in the Nationwide Series standings.
Elliott Sadler holds a 12-point lead over defending Nationwide champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr., while Austin Dillon, who is a rookie in the series this year, is just two markers behind Stenhouse.
After winning the May 20 race at Iowa, Stenhouse held a 34-point advantage over Sadler, but Stenhouse has finished 26th and 32nd in the past two races, allowing Sadler to regain the points lead.
Stenhouse suffered a broken driveshaft at Charlotte and then crashed in the early going at Dover.
"The past two weeks are definitely not what we wanted," Stenhouse said after his 32nd-place finish in the June 2 race at Dover. "You aren't going to have perfect races every week, but we will bounce back from this and go to Michigan."
Sadler finished fifth at Charlotte and then followed up with a seventh-place run at Dover.
"It's great to take over the points lead again, but it's a long season, so we need to keep fighting to get strong finishes every week," he said. "We really want to win more of those race trophies, and if we can do that, the points should take care of themselves."
Dillon trailed the leader by 43 points after Iowa but has gained momentum since then. He is pulling double-duty at Michigan this week. Dillon will attempt to qualify for the Sprint Cup Series race there, driving the No. 33 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing.
"There is a test session for the Sprint Cup Series teams on Thursday, so that will provide us with an opportunity to gain some information before the race weekend officially begins, and I hope that will give our team an extra edge for both the Sprint Cup Series race and the Nationwide Series race," Dillon said.
Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano and Paul Menard are those Sprint Cup regulars competing in this race. Busch's suspension from NASCAR competition ended on Wednesday.
Logano has the most Nationwide wins so far this season with four. Three of those victories have come in his last four starts.
Since Michigan has recently been repaved, NASCAR scheduled an additional practice session for Nationwide teams on Friday to familiarize themselves with the new track surface.
Forty-three teams are on the preliminary entry list for the Alliance Truck Parts 250.
Milwaukee IndyFest - The Milwaukee Mile - West Allis, WI
When points leader Will Power and second-place Scott Dixon come to The Milwaukee Mile this weekend, both drivers are facing a bigger challenge than they originally anticipated.
Power and Dixon are among six drivers who received 10-grid spot penalties for unapproved engine changes. Takuma Sato, Mike Conway, rookie Josef Newgarden and Justin Wilson, who won last Saturday's race at Texas, were hit with the same penalties as well.
On Tuesday, 21 drivers participated in a test session at Iowa Speedway to evaluate the short oval aerodynamic package for the new Dallara cars. Dixon's No. 9 Chip Ganassi Racing car sustained a failure of its Honda engine with a few minutes left in the morning session. The Chevrolet engine in Power's No. 12 Team Penske car expired during testing in the afternoon.
"It's going to be hard to win from back there," Power said of the upcoming 225-mile race at Milwaukee.
Eighteen drivers tested May 29 at Milwaukee. Wilson was one of those who participated in the day-long session there.
"We want to hit that weekend with the right set-up right off the bat," he said. "It will take a bit of tuning to go from our old set-ups to something that will work for this car, but I think it will be fine. I've driven four different types of cars there, so I understand what to look for in the car on that track."
The aero package on the cars for the upcoming races at Milwaukee and Iowa are closely aligned with the road/street course platform. Iowa is scheduled for June 23.
"Most of us got to run it in Milwaukee a couple weeks ago after Indianapolis to get a feel for what it's going to be like," Penske driver Ryan Briscoe said. "It's going to be tough. It always is at Milwaukee. But it felt like the tires were definitely going off a lot. That's going to be a big player in the race, much like we saw in Texas.
"You're going to need a good-handling car from about mid-stint on. If you get a long green stint, you're going to see someone with a good car turning laps around the field, and that's going to have to be the focus -- being good over the distance."
Power currently holds a 36-point lead over Dixon, while James Hinchcliffe from Andretti Autosport is 48 points behind. Helio Castroneves, who is Power's teammate, is 53 markers out of the lead.
Last year at Milwaukee, Power started 17th and had a dismal performance during the first half of the race before rebounding in the closing stages to finish fourth. Dario Franchitti started on the pole and led a total of 161 laps en route to his third win of the season. Franchitti also won the inaugural race at Milwaukee in 2004.
"The racing is so good there," he said. "You can run side-by-side with guys. The lapped traffic gets involved. The car goes away at some point. You got to have a good car to start."
Twenty-five teams are on the entry list for the Milwaukee IndyFest.

Getting those A's and zzzzzzzzzz's
By now, hopefully you are done with the first round of midterms. In many cases, midterms never seem to end. So in our pursuit of A's how do we also get those zzzzzzzzzz's? Remember, getting enough sleep ensures that you are feeling good and can work as productively as possible. A's come in hand with zzzzz's. As a senior, I am finally getting more rest and sleep than ever before. I suggest you find a way to do so before becoming a senior! And remember, CNR has wonderfully comfy sofas in 260 Mulford if you ever need a comfy seat or a place to rest your head for a few moments.
CNR is here for you. If you are finding that your classes are more difficult than you expected or at least pose obstacles that you did not foresee, feel free to make and appointment with an advisor to talk to them and see what they can do. Or even easier, come talk to a PAL during our tabling hours and we'll be happy to advise based on our experience--we've all been through various experiences and would love to share!
The Student Learning Center is an excellent resource. One of the things I wish I could change about my time here at Cal would be to have started going to the SLC before my junior year. I highly recommend science majors to take advantage of the tutors who wait for tutees. I wish I had utilized the SLC resources for general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics. It's never too late. Just try and check it out. It's also a great place to study because you can bring food inside the SLC and eat!
Being at Cal isn't always about just getting those A's. I've come to realize that GSI and professor office hours are invaluable--really a once in a chance lifetime experience. Think about it, you're only at Cal for a relatively microcosmic time portion of your life. Take advantage of the resources here! Get to know your amazing professors and graduate students. Finding mentors while learning material at the same time is like hitting two birds with one stone (not literally).
Speaking of animal rights, a biker ran over a squirrel last week and I was appalled. Please be careful on the roads, near the wildlife (regardless of nativity), and get some rest on your pursuit of those A's!

Comments about Sweet Pipes Adult Method Book 1 Soprano:
Exactly what I wanted. I played the flute for years and the recorder years ago. This book has been perfect for helping me knock off the rust quickly and efficiently. The tunes are pretty, and you can pace yourself through the steps as quickly as you need to (re-)learn all the notes on the recorder.
Best Uses
Comments about Sweet Pipes Adult Method Book 1 Soprano:
What I really like about this Method book is that it not only teaches technique, but it also provides the user with a Historical Background of the instrument, which I think is crucial to the understanding of the instrument.
And my first question was answered within the first few pages, "What kind of sound should one aim to achieve on this instrument?", it answers that: and many more.
If you are a beginner/novice looking for a good Method Book for the study of the Soprano Recorder: I strongly recommend that you use this book.

The last lead smelter in America is closing.
The last lead smelter in America will close in 2014 because the EPA has imposed another 100 million in compliance rules.
Some claim it is a backdoor effort to control firearms–but the big picture is the lead scare–it has enough energy to make this happen even if there was no gun control interest.
Heavy metal poisoning is something that harms kidneys, nerves and brains, but like anything we discuss here at JunkScience the dose makes the poison. The scaremongering is about how much lead is toxic. That's when the cheatin' starts in the research on toxicology and the regulatin' begins.
The safe level of 30 mics per deciliter in the blood has been the target of the scaremongers, who claim they can show IQ effects down to below 10 mics per deciliter in the blood. The target population for preventing lead poisoning is children. So we have a great opportunity for another scare.
The influential research on lead poisoning was spiced up by cheating that was done by, among others, a pediatrician named Herbert Needleman at U of Pittsburgh, who published a landmark article in 1979 in the New England Journal of Medicineclaiming to see terrible lead effects on kid's intelligence.
Needleman's research was influential in setting new safe lead levels and creating a general panic. In the early 1970s, anti knock lead was eliminated from gasoline which reduced the environmental load dramatically when combined with other abatements.
The lead issue was pushed foward at the CDC by the Needleman gang who sat on key policy committees.
Lead is not so toxic at low levels as claimed by Needleman, Bellinger and others in the anti lead crusade, and other researchers and the Office on Research Integrity (ORI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) could not replicate Needleman's claims with his data. The ORI of the NIH referred the Needleman problem to the U of Pittsburgh for investigation. Imagine that. In the early 1990s he was found to have intentionally misrepresented his research.
Needleman vigorously defended his work the die was cast (sorry for the lame pun) and lead became a scare item. Needleman was eventually condemned for fraudulent research by a sealed then released findings, but he was not found guilty of misconduct.
Needleman and his fellow scaremongers were condemned by many for excessively conservative recommendations on lead levels not justified by the evidence of toxicity. Our old nemesis Joel Schwartz of Harvard who is now a doyen on air pollution, was a player as a reveiwer of Needleman's work. Naturally he found no problems and functioned as cover more than once for Needleman's claims.
Needleman didn't pay much of a price for what the enviros and lefties call lying for justice. His manipulation was culling high scores and failing to make adjustments in the studies.
Vaporized or ingested lead are problematic and it deposits in tissues like bone. Levels above 30 mics per deciliter are considered problematic and above
40 require chelation therapy to encourage elimination.
Won't have to worry about the smelter in Missouri, which was located there because of the presence of the large lead ore deposits in the ground.
Best we have limits on exposures, but eliminate by regulatory fiat from EPA amounting to 100 million in mitigation at the remaining lead smelter?
The EPA will eliminate everything that has scare effect, but they decide what has a scare value. And with a no threshold approach, any lead is bad–right?
What about the scary chemicals necessary for making computer stuff in the Silicon Valley–hear much about that?
Steve Milloy wrote insightfully on the lead problem in 2001.

Wondering how big your twin belly will get? Here you can add and view twin belly pictures.
Share Your Twin Belly Photo Here!
If you're having twins I'm sure you have already taken many photos, it's a great way to see that belly grow.
Twin bellies are amazingly beautiful and an experience not to forget.
So if you haven't started taking photos yet, get that camera out and start creating memories, you can't get these moments back.
You could even organize a session with a photographer to capture that gorgeous twin bump.
To moms newly pregnant with twins this is a great way to see how big your belly could get, don't worry your body can take it and everyone is different.
Having two babies in your belly is a wonderful feeling, when pregnant with my twin girls it sometimes felt like they were playing football in there.
Watching and feeling them move around was my favorite part of my twin pregnancy. Actually seeing your twin babies inside your belly is awesome to see in a twins ultrasound
Stretch marks caused from pregnancy is something I definitely thought about during my twin pregnancy. I know everyone's skin is different and though I did apply olive oil to my belly pretty regularly I did get a few (but minimal) stretch marks. You can look here for some more info on pregnancy stretch marks,but I say try not to sweat it too much and what better way to start looking at them differently then showing them off? Even if it's just with your friends and family. So go ahead and add yours or just checked some twin belly pictures below.
If you would prefer to tell your pregnancy story then you can share it here: Pregnancy Stories you may even be interested in reading some other twin mom's and their journey.

I know how a great relationship can make everyday better. While I am extremely self-sufficient, I miss having a partner to share experiences, to converse with, to hug.
I lead an extremely active life and enthusiastically participate in very diverse activities.
I traveled extensively and traveling is a priority for me. I was fortunate to have toured a variety of countries including China, New Zealand, Argentina, Tanzania, Russia, Turkey, and a lot of Europe.
I also toured much of the USA and especially enjoyed the National Parks.
I enjoy theater and often see NYC Broadway shows in addition to attending a variety of local theater productions.
I attend Buffalo Bills football games (often freezing my "tail off"), baseball games and the US Tennis Open in NYC. I still play tennis although far less aggressively than 15 years ago!
I visit our Public Market for food shopping during the summer. Local art street festivals and Finger Lakes wine festivals are rarely missed. Attending Philharmonic concerts and photographer series programs are winter activities that frequently include friends and dinner.
I am very social in informal environments but know the proper dress and manners if I were meeting the Queen.
My friends would tell you that I am a lot of fun, quick to laugh, intelligent, politically a moderate liberal, love to converse with almost anyone about almost anything, a "mench", and have a very direct personality.
I don't do "drama". I don't bring any "baggage" to a new relationship. I don't play "games".
I believe that E-mail should serve as short-term approach for introduction purposes. If e-mail generates interest, then let's talk. If we can easily gab on the phone, that's a good sign. SKYPE is even better.
I (we) have to face the fact that there are a lot more years behind me (us) than in front. Everyday is important. The right moment is now.

A missing skydiver was found dead Sunday afternoon in Jamul, Calif. after a search and rescue effort. It is believed that a mid-air collision caused his untimely death.
According to CBS 8 San Diego, Buzz Fink, the owner of Skydive San Diego, said it is believed that the skydiver collided with his jump partner's knee or leg, which injured him and possibly caused him to lose consciousness.
Fink said the skydiver never opened his parachute. The other jumper involved in the incident was not injured and landed safely in the drop zone.
The victim was an experienced skydiver. Skydive San Diego performs countless jumps a year, but there is always a risk when attempting a dive. According to NBC San Diego, Fink said, "We do well over 100,000 jumps a year, and we pride ourselves on our safety and everything we do as far as our equipment, our airplane. However, it is skydiving and things can happen and generally you do everything we can to prevent it."
