The story of Koh Ker is a fascinating one, which I now know much more intimately, as I returned in December 2013 and lived in the forest for almost three weeks, as the first person from elsewhere (which I didn't quite realize until I'd arrived) to stay and teach at the elementary school in the forest where I had visited in February, and with the secondary students at the dormitory 10K away. Along with me, I brought and dispensed the first band aids in the village, as well as I brought the first books, and watched the children sway at their desks, as I walked and read to them in English. It's a language they don't really speak, but which they know can provide a more stable future, and which they absorbed at a speedy rate, with the help of Maurice Sendak and Where the Wild Things Are. It was as deep and wide as I've ever gone, and challenging in every way--so remote, and so very basic--and gratifying, and enduring. And endearing, as the students are some remarkable kidlets, and young adults.
I also had my camera in my pocket, or in my hand for the entire stay, and I have some great photographs of my time and the kids, and the local market and the nearby antiquities site, which rivals Angkor, but has been largely abandoned to the jungle since it was built in 900AD. I also sent emails to my daughters which chronicled my journey, and the amazing nexus of daily experience, ancient history, and recent cultural upheaval.
And so, I thought perhaps this might be of interest to the editors and readers of More, and I'd be happy to tell more of the story, and share photos, a few of which I've included below. I feel crazy fortunate to have been the person to inhabit this tableau, 8,000 miles away and so seriously gone, yet integrated and real in another place. The opportunity was universal, while so distilled, and encompassingly personal. Not often that life is like this. !
Best to all at More--
Hi there Lesley,
After reading almost every issue of More I think I'm going to email you with insightful comments or words of thanks for certain articles. I never do it.
I received a tablet for Christmas and wondered what the heck I was going to do with it. I can barely answer my smart phone some days. But then I learned the local library system had a program for downloading ebooks without leaving your home. And with the snow we were inundated with this winter that was a gift.
I still prefer paper in my hands, but when I saw the ad for the three month free trial to Scribd I was excited. My library, while having a wide selection, still leaves something to be desired.
So I was quite dismayed that the free trial required a credit card or Pay Pal account number. I presume when the 3 months are up they're going to start billing, most likely without warning, or else a complicated opt out process will be required. No thanks.
Why can't three free months be free? Why can't they just ask for the buy-in when the 3 months are almost up? I sound like the Credit Karma commercial. Of course in the KC small print you're agreeing to be inundated with emails.
At the very least the offer wording in More should have warned that we had to give credit info to lock in the deal. Be up front, let us decide before we go to the effort of setting up an account. That's the way I expect my fav mag to treat me, with respect and giving me all the facts up front.
Sorry it was a complaint that finally got me to the keyboard. I really love the magazine! I recommend it to all my friends and family.
--Brenda Boldin
My question is how do I help women not choose to abort their children? The resources and support are many but the information is perpetually blocked from those who would benefit from it.

Same-sex marriages performed in Utah are being recognized by the United States federal government, according to a Huffington Post report on Friday afternoon. Even though Utah's state government has decided to not recognize the same-sex marriages that took place, the federal government will honor those marriages that occurred during a brief time in Utah, says United States Attorney General Eric Holder.
On Dec. 20, 2013, a federal judge in Utah struck down a ban that was asserted on same-sex marriages. At that time, many who wanted to be in a same-sex marriage in the state hurried to get marriage licenses. Utah is appealing that decision while the Supreme Court has put the ruling on hold until there is a ruling from the appeals court.
The act of any subsequent same-sex marriages in the state have been halted by the Supreme Court. However, the same-sex marriages enacted in the interim period had not been dealt with in the court's ruling. Holder's announcement on Friday gives same-sex marriage couples the federal benefits married couples receive.

Pakku's guest by DraxennHow I love things neat and tidyPakku's guest by Draxenn by RobinRone
For cleanliness to surround me
Items stacked upon my shelves
All have small homes for themselves.
See my ledgers? All in order.
Four per year, one each quarter.
Alphabetized are the rest
Peruse them please, be my guest.
But something that you must remember
Birds will seldom lose a feather
Without rhyme or reason why
Details don't escape my eye.
I'll know if things are out of place
So won't you please respect my space!
Put things back where they belong
And I am sure we'll get along.
Now please sit down and have a drink
Prepare your quill and warm your ink.
And I will share a quick story
Of when some pirates tried to kill me.
No Nice GirlsWhoever said "first impressions lie" was an idiot. First impressions are the only reason I've gotten as far in the business as I have.No Nice Girls by SkysongMA
Mizha didn't look like an agent. She looked like Daddy's princess, fresh out of high school. Her hair was too long and too blonde, and she wore the kind of suit tailored to look less expensive than it is. If she'd been wearing heels, I might have handed in my badge right then and there.
But she wasn't, so I settled for glowering at her. She had a shabby cardboard box in her arms, which she shifted to one hip so she could knock on my door. As if I couldn't see her through the glass walls of my officeand who designs an office with glass walls? I nodded at her through the glass. She met my eyes, hesitated, and opened the door. "Are youKali?"
"Sign's on the door, sweet cheeks," I said, propping my feet on the desk. "And you must be Mizha."
She bit her lip. "That's me," she said quietly. "It's, um, it's nice to meet you. I guess we're going to be
Sugar-sweetAfter my mother killed herself, Mizha locked herself in her room for three days. I found out later she went out through the window, bought a dime bag of pot, and smoked it in a sitting. She also marathoned Netflix's entire cache of Mythbusters.Sugar-sweet by SkysongMA
I tried to become the primary chef in my house, since Mom was a homemaker, but unfortunately, I can't cook anything but souffles (go figure). I was trying to cook something to coax out Mizha, but everything, from scrambled eggs to brownies, turned into a black pancake. I ate a lot of sandwiches and spaghetti that week.
And my dad turned into a character from a Lifetime movie. By which I mean he adopted a troubled black teenager, apparently thinking we would learn a valuable life lesson. Or maybe he wanted to throw money at something until he felt better.
He told me while I was constructing the most epic peanut butter, banana, and marshmallow fluff sandwich in the history of creation. He sat down at the dinner table
My Fish DreamI was submerged in the ocean, surrounded by a swirl of fish. All sizes, all colors, darting in circles around me. They were swimming so fast, and I was running out of air. They bumped and jostled me in the water, and it felt like all my energy was just going into holding my breath and treading water. I would never make it back up to the surface.My Fish Dream by TheDelphina
I did what I feared. I took a deep breath, and every part of me started filling up with water. There was heaviness at my sides, in my legs, in my neck. I absorbed the water, and drifted down so far. When my back nestled gently into the bed of the ocean, I looked up and saw the surface, and all the silhouettes of fish.
And from this distance, I could see that some of the fish were tiny, voracious piranhas, and not fish I would want to swim with at all. Some of them were dolphins and friendly fish. But it was only from the bottom I could see them as individual fish, and not the massive cloud that surrounded and overwhelmed me.
I knew now.
A dream of MistI remember mist. It hung thick in the air, clouding nearly everything from sight. The air was cool and at the verge of feeling damp. There were birds though, reds and blues like the ones in Disney movies. They flitted around here and there, landing on white gazebos and then flying away to another. The gazebos were like a boat, spread out widely out, yet connected by wood bridges with ivy crawling all around the railing. The whole area was flooded; water was everywhere, crashing against the wood with a dull roar. Islands with wild flowers floated out of reach, separate and untouchable from the wooden surface that held a girl up.A dream of Mist by DaMushroom
That's when I became conscious of myself and where I was. My eyes were clouded over as I looked over the endless waters, wondering how I'd gotten there. My hands were gently placed on the railing of the roofed gazebo, gripping the wood with my palms. I'd been wearing a white outfit; a puffy pirate like shirt, gray hued pants, and black bo
LeyLines Dream Contest:iconrobinrone: is inviting people to share their most inspirational dreams (and get cool prizes): http://leylinescomic.com/give-away/LeyLines Dream Contest by JKCarrier
I don't know how "inspirational" this is, but it's definitely the most vivid and elaborate dream I ever remember having. I really should try to turn it into a comic someday:
I had this dream in 2009.
As I was walking home one night, I saw a large herd of animals marching towards me. There were elephants and zebras and others. I remember thinking that these were the kinds of animals that used to roam the plains, back before there were humans. And then I saw people marching along as well, and I realized they were people from the past, including some famous historical figures. One of them was Indira Gandhi. Her appearance looked slightly "off", like black-and-white footage that had been computer-colorized, and I started feeling this was fake, like I was watching a movie. But the movie was shot from a first-person perspective, so it still kind of felt li

May 21, 2014 Imperial Beach, CA
A student at Bayview Elementary School, 12 year old Elian Gomez, has just finished working on his first mural. The mural was done for an Imperial Beach business in which the mural depicts what the business is all about. I.B. Grooming located at 600 Palm Ave. has been open for a while now but has a new owner. Nicole, the new owner, wanted something colorful and humorous. She received both from her new mural.
Elian just started painting about a month ago but the director of his art program saw some incredible talent in this young man and put him to the test. Well as one can see in the photos he came through with flying colors as he successfully helped complete the mural with the ability of one who seemed to have been doing this for a living. Elian just turned 12 this month and well he has already worked on two projects and will be working on a third come June 7th when he will again assist in the painting of a 5 foot tall utility box in the Hillcrest area of San Diego. The box will be painted during their two mile long art festival on Adams street.
Elian is only one of two students that were chosen for this project as he and Ily Alfred will both assist in the painting of this utility box. The theme being the pyramids of Giza. This will finish the seven wonders of the world series for Hillcrest and it has been given to, "The Art Kids of San Diego County," to finish the project. Both Elian and Ily will be working on the project and will have only the 7th of June to finish the entire utility box.
It is the opinion of the director and the artistic evidence that has been provided for the decision in choosing these two 12 year old art students to work on such important projects. Each time both Elian and Ily paint they just seem to improve far more than any other students that the director has taught and worked with.
Others will be convinced as many will come to see more and more work done by both of these very talented young artists. Being so young they will improve greatly and show the artistic world that young artists should be taken seriously when it comes to the ability to impact the artistic world.

The dictionary definition of the word "Olympic" is, "of or pertaining to the city of Olympus, in the country of Greece. The true meaning of the Olympic Games lies not in definitions, but in the hearts of every athlete who competes and in every observer who watches and participates, if only in the capacity of cheering on those athletes as they strive to give their all in their chosen activity. It is this inner drive to be better, to do one's absolute best that raises our spirits and allows us to continue to "rise to the occasion"; whether competing on Olympic sports or getting through our regular work days with a feeling of accomplishment.
If a secondary definition of an Olympian is someone who strives to do their absolute best within their chosen profession, then there are many of us that fit that definition every day. We are the ones who show up at work every day and give 100 % of our time and skills. Whether running our own businesses or working for someone else, we all have the need to be productive and to accomplish something that makes us feel vital and alive. And, we each have that hope that in some way we will manage to make a positive difference, either in someone else's life or in the world at large. Medals are a visible way in which we get rewarded for a job well done, but most of us know that heroic feats are accomplished every day by those who will never receive a medal. We are the invisible supporters in so many ways for each other every day of the week.
As we go through the current winter Olympic season and cheer on the athletes from almost every country in the earth, let's also give a mental cheer to each other, as those who strive to do their best every day so that the Olympic contests can continue to happen. Let's all give ourselves an invisible medal for just showing up!
Peace @-)-)-----

New York Times 'Nocturnalist' Column Gets More Inches, Celebrities
Shining its light on the city's more "dazzling" corners.
Today, the New York Times is premiering a revamped version of its "Nocturnalist" nightlife column. It will expand to six to eight events twice a week thanks to a staff of stringers and borrow some attitude from the axed "Boldface Names" column, with a focus on the personalities that populate the city's exclusive circles. With its new celebrity bent, what distinguishes "Nocturnalist" from, say, "Page Six"? "The tabloids do what they do; our take is not really theirs," Sarah Maslin Nir, who's been penning the column for the past year, told Intel. "The same names may show up in my column as they do in other papers, but the similarities end there."
Nir added, "'Nocturnalist' has always been about painting a portrait of what makes this city so vibrant, from scuba diving off the coast of Brooklyn with a retired police diver to trotting with horses in the ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria. I'll still be shining the same light into corners of New York, just different, perhaps more dazzling ones." In other words, more emphasis on the debutantes and less on the horses they rode in on. Hey, you gotta get those youths past the pay wall somehow.

Damnit Ned, you did it to me again! thats even the link I was going to use! :p
Eaheahhae :D
Just got my new Game Informer and guess what was on the front: BIOSHOCK 2.
Here's some excerpts:
First he assassinated the city's founder, Andrew Ryan. Next, he killed Frank Fontaine, the man who controlled the Adam. Then, with a cavalier disregard for the chaos his actions had triggered, the surface-dweller left - and so did the Little Sisters. That's when things in Rapture got really bad. Trapped in a dead man's crumbling dream,the frantic splicers fought savagely over the dwindling Adam supply, killing friends and family to feed and appetite for perfection. Big Daddies continued their lonely patrols with no one to protect... until she showed up. Now, Big Sister has brought the little ones back to Rapture, and the Adam is flowing again. A forgotten lust for the substance has reignited, and the Little Sisters are its gatekeepers. You need the precious substance as much as anyone; Adam fuels your plasmids and superhuman strength, but unlike the crazed splicers, you dont need to attack the young girls for a fix. After all, the Little Sisters trust you. You're a Big Daddie. You're family.
(Excerpt taken from Game Informer magazine issue 192)
That's right boys and girls, this time around you play as a Big Daddie. But not just any BD, the very first. And this BD has gone rogue. You get all the Iconic weapons from before. The drill, the rivet gun, and plasmids. You'll even have the ability merge plasmids together, in other words mix the normal incinerate plasmid with the cyclone to send splicers flying in a whirlwind of flames.
Although you're not the big cumbersome BD you see in the first one. Since you are the FIRST BD, you look quite different:
Soz that is the best Pic I could find. That basket on your back is for carrying them. When you kill another BD you have the option to harvest them (as before) or "Adopt" them. This will allow them to ride and your back looking for "Angels". Once you find downed splicer with enough adam you can have her hop down and start extracting the precious fluid. However this does come at a price, because as soon as she hops off your back she is in danger and splicers come out of the wood work. I wish you could see the screenies in the magazine, the game looks great. Not a lot of word on how multiplayer will play out though. Cheers! :D

BioShock 2 Multiplayer Wont Compromise Single Player
There isnt a gamer out there that didnt express a bit of concern when it was announced that BioShock 2 would have a Multiplayer mode. But, luckily, it seems that 2K Games doesnt want you to worry about it.
When speaking to Gameplayer, BioShock 2s lead level designer Hogarth de la Plante had this to say about the Multiplayer situation.
We recognise that people might be cynical about a multiplayer mode, he stated. A lot of us are big single player fans also so in no way does it compromise the single-player experience.
Producer Mellisa Miller added that the decision to include online play had not been taken lightly, but refused to detail the new mode.
There's a LOT of people waiting anxiously for this one :)
I'm quite intrigued as to how they will go about this, I hope they do something interesting rather than the same old standard multiplayer modes dressed up. System Shock 2 had quite a good co-op mode but most people never got to experience it because there was no proper matchmaking system or server browser, that certainly one route they could go down with BS2's multiplayer though.

A prepaid card is a debit card. This means you first need to deposit money on your card before you can make purchases with it. It is not a credit card where you are extended a card with 'borrowed' money to spend.

It can be used to: rent a car, buy gas at the pump, rent a hotel room… And your card will be covered by a Zero Liability Policy which will keep your money safe in case your card is used fraudulently or it is lost.
How To Load Money
There are a variety of methods however the best prepaid card is going to give you free direct deposit. You will be able to deposit your paycheck or government benefit check. You can also deposit your tax return. Using this will give you access to your money much faster & without the expense of cash checking fees.
Additionally you can load cash by visiting thousands of popular retailers such as; WalMart, Target, Kroger, Rite Aid, CVS, Longs, Walgreens, Kmart, WesternUnion, MoneyGram…. You can use a Greendot Money Pak and a Visa ReadyLynk.
You can also transfer money directly from a bank account. Some cards will give you the ability to move money from one card account to another. And you can even deposit money through PayPal on your card.
Online Bill Pay
This feature will enable you to fully use your prepaid card just like a checking account. You can pay bills online and for free with the top online prepaid cards.
To use this you just log into your account online, go to the bill payment center, fill in the name of the business or individual you want to pay, and the date you want the payment sent, and your DONE! On the indicated date a check in your name will be sent.
You can schedule future payments, monthly payments, and of course one time payments. And all from the comfort of your home and without the expense or hassle of going to the store and buying money orders.

No car company even close to Prius with the 4th generation coming in 2015. Hybrid dominance for 15 years!!!! What a company----TOYOTA!!!!
as STUPID as you are, I can't argue this point with you
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Stupid???????? I don't live in Detroit!!!
I don't think the Prius loses 30k on ever sale and stiffs the taxpayer like the Welfare Motors Dole't does.
Satan here...
['01/2013 - SANTA ANA, California — A U.S. District Court judge has granted preliminary approval to Toyota's $1.1 billion settlement of a class-action lawsuit by consumers involving problems of sudden, unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles, including the 2001-'10 Toyota Prius and 2002-'10 Toyota Camry.
The preliminary approval means that current and former Toyota owners should expect to get information about the settlement through notices to be mailed in March, according to a statement by a plaintiffs' attorney.
The settlement provides $500 million in cash for plaintiffs, plus installation of brake override systems in vehicles subject to floor mat entrapment recalls, along with a customer support program.']
You're right. The $ettlement number$ for the Prius are number 1.

The Jayhawks have lost only five times all season and three of those losses came against quality teams. Sure, they had their head-scratching losses to TCU and a blowout loss to Baylor in the regular season finale when they had nothing for which to play. But every other team in consideration for a top seed, maybe even the top seed, has had similar setbacks.
Georgetown, Indiana and Duke, three likely candidates for the top overall seed a week ago, failed to win their conference tournaments and Duke didn't even win its regular season conference title. The Jayhawks shared the regular season Big 12 title with Kansas State, a team they have now beaten three times.
Why not the Jayhawks? Who has been more consistent this season?
In any given game, there are four or five Jayhawks capable of taking over on the offensive end. The team features one of the best freshmen in the nation in Ben McLemore and center Jeff Withey, the star of Saturday's championship game, in among the best big men in the nation.
None of that makes Kansas a No.1 seed, but all of it has contributed to the resume the selection committee will consider Sunday. It wouldn't be a surprise if the committee has a hard time not making the Jayhawks a top seed.

Court records indicate that Judd in 2008 applied for public assistance from the Michigan Department of Human Services. Between Aug. 31, 2008, and June 30, 2012, DHS issued Judd $17,013.02, benefits they now claim he was not entitled to.
In being approved for welfare, Judd signed forms agreeing to notify DHS of any changes in his living situation. According to court documents, Judd did not report that his children's mother on three separate occasions lived with him for extended periods. The mother was receiving an income at the time she lived with Judd, court records show.
Authorities issued a warrant for Judd's arrest on Monday, April 29. He voluntarily appeared for arraignment in Bay County District Court on Thursday, May 2.

Most medical weight-loss programs first try to help you make the long-term behavioral changes necessary to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. This includes exercising regularly and eating healthy food. If you still remain seriously overweight, you and your doctor might discuss these options.
Medical treatment can help with weight loss if your own efforts are unsuccessful—or if you have a medical condition that makes it crucial to lose weight.
Out of the millions Americans who are overweight and go on a diet each year, many regain all or a part of the weight they lose within five years.

Who can I talk to about my experience who will not tell anyone or do anything at all?
At Mount Holyoke, staff of the Counseling Service and staff of Religious and Spiritual Life are not required to report anything about you or your experience to anyone at all.
What is considered sexual contact? How can I know how someone else is experiencing touch or physical intimacy?
People have different understandings of what they consider intimate and "friendly" versus what they consider intimate and sexual. These understandings can vary on the basis of religious and cultural values, social and family norms, and personal values and experiences.
The best way to find out how someone experiences touch and physical intimacy is to ask and discuss it before something happens and obtain consent for physical touch or intimacy before it takes place.
Many situations are ambiguous and risky if not clarified in advance. Consider the possibility of sleeping in the same bed as another student because "It's too late to walk across campus to my own residence hall." Does this imply that you have given consent to be touched in a sexual way? Who is responsible for clarifying the situation—and when?
It can be awkward and even embarrassing to talk about the situation and establish boundaries in advance—but it can be devastating for everyone involved if an awkward situation turns into sexual misconduct or a sexual assault that could have been avoided through a frank discussion about expectations and consent in advance.
How should consent be obtained? Can body language be understood as consent?
Ideally, consent is given verbally. However, consent can also be expressed (given or withdrawn) through body language. For example, active reciprocation could express consent, pushing someone away or moving away could express lack of consent.
Body language and even verbal responses may be ambiguous. It may also be unclear who is responsible for getting consent and who is responsible for giving consent at any particular moment. If consent is unclear, there is a risk of committing a sexual offense. Consequently, when in doubt, each participant in the activity should stop and ASK.
What are some of the indicators that I am at risk for committing sexual assault or sexual misconduct?
- You are touching another person in a sexual manner without their consent.
- You are initiating sexual contact when you are not sure what the other person wants.
- You are initiating sexual contact when the other person is drunk or otherwise intoxicated.
- You decided to have sex by any means necessary.
- You are hoping that they won't say anything but will just be quiet and like it.
- You are acting on an impulse or dare.
- You are getting mixed messages/signals.
- You have not spoken with the person about what they want to do.
- Ask rather than assume. You and your partner should talk about what would be most enjoyable together.
If I am accused of committing a sexual assault, how serious is it?
Being convicted of a sexual assault is a felony in Massachusetts.
How can alcohol and drugs impact consent and decision making?
The use of alcohol and other drugs impairs judgment and undermines the ability to make good decisions, including decisions about sexual activity.
If I hear about a sexual assault that happened to someone else, should I report it?
Yes! The College takes all reports of sexual harrassment (including sexual assault) and sexual misconduct seriously. Individuals are welcome to make an anonymous report of sexual assault. Information regarding the College's anonymous reporting option is linked here.
Yes. The College gathers and reports data consistent with various federal and state reporting mandates. Individuals interested in the College's crime statistics are encourage to review our Campus Clery Crime and Fire Safety Report.

Acuvue Reviews
Great Contact Lens
For several years my optometrist had tried to switch me over from Acuvue to Acuvue Oasys because it 'breathes better'. I resisted because I saw no reason to switch with zero eye issues with the original Acuvue lens. I had worn the original Acuvue for over 15 years and in that time only had one very minor eye irritation and that was over 10 years ago. Bottom line, they worked perfectly.
Still the best lenses.
The Accuvue contact lenses from Johnson & Johnson are great! I have worn these contacts for about 5 years and I don't plan on switching anytime soon! With proper care these last for a very long time and are very cheap. The acuvue contacts do not dry out or cause any irritation, so I plan on wearing them for a long time.
I've been wearing Acuvue contact lenses since J&J first came out with them years ago. They are extremely comfortable and easily worn 24 hours/day for 2+ weeks at a time. I was thrilled to find a contact lens I did not have to remove nightly that was comfortable. I have recommended to many friends that they try Acuvue contacts and they are very pleased with them.

Johnny Dodds (with the New Orleans Wanderers): Perdido Street Blues
Perdido Street Blues
Johnny Dodds (with the New Orleans Wanderers)
King of the New Orleans Clarinet (Disques Black & Blue)
Johnny Dodds (clarinet), George Mitchell (cornet), Kid Ory (trombone), Lil Hardin (piano), Johnny St. Cyr (banjo).
Recorded: Chicago, July 13, 1926
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
In the hierarchy of New Orleans jazz, the trumpet / cornet players are at the very top of the heap. They were often given nicknames like King (Joe Oliver, Buddy Bolden, Freddie Keppard) or Pops (Armstrong) or Papa (Mutt Carey) to emphasize their role as pater familias. In contrast, the most famous New Orleans drummer was known as "Baby" and the leading trombonist was called "Kid." And the clarinetist in the band? He certainly wasn't called King - or even Earl or Squire. Every traditional jazz band worth its sassafras needed one, but they usually got no nickname at all. Little wonder so many switched to sax when they got the chance.
Which brings us to the subject of Johnny Dodds. Here the great New Orleans clarinetist, best remembered as a sideman with Armstrong and Oliver, gets to step to the forefront at a recording session and makes the most of the opportunity. He contributes two majestic choruses that rank among the finest examples of traditional jazz clarinet playing you will ever hear - and shows that he doesn't need a famous brass player in tow to validate his artistry. George Mitchell plays better on his Jelly Roll Morton sides, and Ory's solo is sleep-inducing. But Dodds alone is enough to enshrine this track in the pantheon of New Orleans classics. The ensemble playing in the final seconds is picture perfect, and Dodds shines in the coda. Okay, you can hold off on the crown, but playing like this certainly deserves at least an earldom or principality.

"They hating on me!" or "Haters are going to hate!" are common phrases that some use to justify reasons why someone or a group of people have an unfavorable opinion of them or their activities. The term "haters" has become popular in the last few years to describe others, but can you actually "hate" on yourself? Read some ways the person hating on you could be in the mirror.
LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook! Get Your Daily Medicine…For LIFE!
1. Comparing Yourself to Others – If you are constantly comparing what you have or don't have to what others do or don't have, then you may be borderline hating on yourself. Comparisons may ignite low self-esteem and depression and have been one of the top five causes of why relationships end.
2. Not Listening to Your Inner Voice – Your inner voice, your conscience, or whatever you prefer to call it can be your saving grace for so many reasons. Usually, your conscience is based upon your mind and body's history and best practices in each situation. Sometimes your natural reaction may not be your best reaction and it's that inner voice that tells you to do differently. Listen.
3. Doing Just Enough to Get By – With the exception of trust fund babies, "self-made" successful people usually have a story of sacrifice, hard work, perseverance and dedication. The only person "doing just enough" hurts is yourself. When you can, do more, give more, show how much "more" you are than people realize.
4. Not Being a Man or Woman of Your Word – One of the quickest ways to get "realistic" haters is to lie about who you truly are. Saying one thing and not following through gives a false representation of who you truly are. Don't allow others the satisfaction of misinterpreting you. Give them the real "say-what-i-do-and-do-what-i-say" self.

Manny Grace received many letters to read while on the Honor Flight. Here are excerpts from a few:
Dear Grandpa,
I cannot explain how happy I am for you and proud that you are getting to experience the honor flight. There is no doubt you have played a major role in shaping who I am today…—Nicholas Grace, age 24, currently training at the Los Angeles Police Department Academy
Dear Mr. G.,
I am so thrilled that you'll be taking a well-deserved "Honor Flight" to Washington D.C. You are the personification of a man who has given so much to his country. You and I have had many talks over the years about your military service and what it has meant to you -- being a proud WWII veteran, despite serving in a segregated Army; moving to the front lines in Korea after the Army was desegregated; and then deciding to make the Army a career. I have watched you stand tall and salute the flag at Memorial Day ceremonies, and will never forget the full-bird colonel from the Tuskeegee Airmen saluting you for your service at the Burlington Chestnut Hill Cemetery… —Steven Puleo, family friend and author
My brothers and I hope you have a safe trip to Washington, D.C. See you when you get back and tell us all about the memorials. Good Luck —We'll have your coffee waiting for you. —Tony Saia, longtime friend
Longtime Burlington resident Manny Grace, age 89, enjoyed a thrilling experience last Sunday.
Retired Master Sgt. Manuel "Manny" Grace is a veteran of both the World War II and Korean wars. He was selected by nonprofit Honor Flight New England, based out of Hooksett, N.H., to take an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. to view the WWII Memorial on Sunday.
The mission of the nonprofit is to ensure veterans who wish to travel to the nation's capital to see "their memorial," have the opportunity to do so.
"I'm really impressed with the people that arranged the Honor Flight. They did a wonderful job. I hope other veterans find out about this and take an Honor Flight too," said Grace.
Military career
Grace first served in the Army in a segregated unit stationed in Europe during WWII and then later in the Korean War in a desegregated unit. Once back stateside, he continued his military career, which involved transferring to different Army bases every few years with his young family. While working at the Brighton Armory and living in Army housing on South Bedford Street in Burlington, he decided to leave the military so that his children could settle in one place and attend one school system.
He has been a Burlington resident since 1966 and he and his late wife, Irene, raised their five sons here: Augusto (known as "Augie," who served as Burlington's state representative from 1987 through 1991), Manuel (also known as "Manny"), Martin, Anthony and John.
The Honor Flight experience
Early Sunday morning, family members gathered at the Manchester airport to await the arrival of the WWII veterans, which was announced over the airport's intercom system. Grace's son Martin said, "Everyone stopped what they were doing, we were each given an American flag to hold, and lined the hallways." He said the veterans arrived by police motorcycle escort and were driven under a large American flag that was displayed in between the tower ladders of two Manchester Fire Department trucks at the airport's entrance. Then, a police bagpipe procession heralded the veterans' arrival into the airport where everyone, standing with their flags, gave them a standing ovation.
Grace traveled with 22 other WWII veterans. Each was allowed to bring one family member and son Augie accompanied him.
Grace was thrilled to see the World War II Memorial and said, "There was so much traffic in D.C. But the Honor Flight people arranged for a police cruiser escort for us, with sirens going and everything, which is why I guess we were able to get through the traffic and see so many things. I got to see the Air Force, Navy, Vietnam, WWII and Korean War memorials. Then we went for a buffet dinner at the Golden Corral before we flew back home."
Page 2 of 2 - Grace noted that he particularly enjoyed seeing the Korean War Memorial, which was still being built when he last visited D.C. in 1995.

Home / LSA Students / Academics & Requirements / Majors & Minors / Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB) /
Engineering (Bachelor of Science in Cell and Molecular Biology and Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering)
The Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology in the College of LS&A and the Department of Biomedical Engineering in the College of Engineering administer a five-year program awarding a concurrent BS degree in Cell and Molecular Biology from the College of LSA and an MS in Biomedical Engineering from the Rackham Graduate School upon completion of all program requirements. A student will apply to both the Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Biomedical Engineering Departments for entrance. A student will be admitted into the program only after completing the first year of the concentration prerequisites (BIOL 162, CHEM 210/211, PHYSICS 135/136 or 140/141, MATH 115 and 116) with a GPA of 3.2 or higher.
Upon acceptance into the program, each student will be assigned two advisors, one in MCDB and one in Biomedical Engineering. Student course selections must be approved by both advisors each term. Specific requirements are listed under the Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology Department in Chapter VI.
A student is typically admitted into the MS phase at the end of the third year when the student achieves senior standing. The student must have completed all concentration prerequisites and be judged by both academic advisors as making adequate progress toward the B.S. At this time, the student must formally apply to the Rackham Graduate School for the MS program in Biomedical Engineering. All students with a 3.2 GPA or higher in the BS concentration phase will automatically be admitted into the MS phase. Other CMB students who have reached senior standing with a 3.2 GPA or higher and have fulfilled all concentration prerequisites, but did not previously apply or were not admitted in the BS phase, can also apply for admittance into the MS phase. Students with senior standing will have two years to mix undergraduate and graduate courses, simultaneously fulfilling requirement for both the BS and MS degrees. Students will be charged graduate tuition for only one academic year.

Evidence for Electron Interference
Well, it's not really possible to set up the experiment just the way we've shown it here, with
electrons being shot at a screen through a pair of slits. The two slit
experiment with light has been done many times--originally by Thomas Young in
1801--but it's just not practical to do exactly the same experiment with
electrons. The equipment would have to be made on an impossibly small scale
to show the effects we've been discussing. So the applet you saw is what's
known as a thought experiment. It shows the results that would
be obtained, according to quantum theory, if a hypothetical experiment like
this could be performed.
Sounds like you're basically just making up this whole thing. I knew all that
stuff about the electrons interfering with each other was too weird to be
Hold on--I didn't say there was no experimental evidence for the effects I
showed you. Electrons have been observed to interfere with one
another. In the late 1920's, Clinton J. Davisson, Lester H. Germer, and
George P. Thomson observed beams of electrons scattering off of various
metals. The electrons produced interference patterns that could be measured
and even photographed. For more information about these experiments, take a
look at the following links:
And those interference patterns must mean that the electrons were somehow
behaving like waves, with crests and troughs that could cancel or reinforce
each other.
That's right; those experiments showed that electrons sometimes act as if they
were waves, just as quantum theorists, like Schrödinger and de Broglie,
had predicted. So we know that if the two slit experiment could be done with
electrons the way it's done with laser light, an interference pattern like the
one you saw would show up on the screen.

Man Shot Dead By Police While Watering Neighbor's Lawn
This is an example of the citizen spy culture taking root in the United States with the "If you see something, say something" program encouraged by The Department of Homeland Security. Apparently, a neighbor made a 911 call after he mistakenly interpreted a man simply sitting on a porch as a "drunk with a gun." Officers arrived, ready for battle, and the man just sitting on the porch was shot dead.

The Palo Duro Lady Dons grabbed the fourth and final playoff seed out of District 3-4A, which in and of itself was a fight considering the competition they faced.
Their reward? A bidistrict game at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday against No. 22 Denton Ryan in Burkburnett.
But there's some good news for the Lady Dons (15-13) concerning the preparation they got during district play. The three teams who finished ahead of them, Canyon, Frenship and Plainview, are all ranked ahead of Denton Ryan (22-9) in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches poll.
PD coach A.J. Johnson thinks his team knows what to expect.
"It's about taking care of the ball in the chaos," Johnson said. "You're playing better teams mostly than what you're used to seeing. Remember, we're a four seed going against a one seed, so that means a lot more."
Denton Ryan won District 4-4A. Teana Ogden leads the Lady Raiders at 19.9 points a game, and Rasheeba Walker averages 11.6 points and 7.4 rebounds.
Johnson said the Lady Raiders are interchangeable as far as who plays where.
"They have a lot of players who can handle the ball," Johnson said.
"They can all play guard at the one, two or three spots."
This is one of the most inexperienced teams Johnson has coached in his 19 years at Palo Duro. The Lady Dons don't have a senior as junior Sasha Watson leads PD with 15.5 points a game. Sophomore post A'jahn Harvey scores 11 points a game.
With such a young team, Johnson is hoping the basics will give his team a chance.
"It's the same thing we've been emphasizing all year," Johnson said.
"If we play good defense, then I feel like we've got a chance to win."
■ Dons can clinch berth: The final piece in the boys 3-4A playoff puzzle will be found Tuesday if Palo Duro (16-12, 8-5 in district) defeats Randall (17-11, 9-4) in a 7:30 p.m. game at Randall.
The Dons sit in fourth place after beating Canyon (17-11, 7-6) 47-45 in a nail-biter Friday night. A victory over Randall, which has already clinched a playoff spot, would send the Dons to their 11th straight playoff berth, as would a loss by Canyon at Hereford on Tuesday.
"Right now we have to focus on Tuesday just like they do," PD coach Jeff Evans said of his team and Canyon.
The Eagles will travel to Hereford (8-20, 4-9) shorthanded after junior point guard Wyatt Sippy, who averages almost 15 points a game, broke his right arm against Palo Duro.
"I think by now we'll be ready to get after it," Canyon coach Guy Crenshaw said. "If we want to make the playoffs we've got to put (the loss to PD) behind us."
If Canyon wins and the Dons lose, the two teams will meet in a tiebreaker to decide 3-4A's fourth and final playoff spot.

Kim Zolciak's twins have arrived! A boy and a girl — just as the reality star had been hoping for — have made their way into the world and have been welcomed by her and husband Kroy Biermann's four other children.
Announcing they've officially grown from a family of six to eight, Kim Zolciak wrote on Instagram early Monday morning, "We are officially the 'Biermann Bunch' now!… Guess what?!!! The TWINS have arrived! We welcomed first a baby GIRL and a second handsome little BOY! They are both healthy and Kroy and I are so thankful!!"
Sharing the names they've chosen for the newborn pair, the parents of 2-year-old Kroy Jagger, 15-month-old Kash and her two daughters from a previous relationship that the football star has since adopted (16-year-old Brielle and 12-year-old Ariana) went on to write:
"The twins names are:
Girl: Kaia Rose (After 'psychic' Rose who is like a grandma to me and been a huge part of my life for 13 plus yrs) Also the twins were born on Rose's birthday!
Boy: Kane Ren (Ren after my OBGYN who has delivered 5 of the 6 kiddos, who has also been a big party of my life for 12 yrs and we simply adore him)"
Check out Kim along with other stars who have had back-to-back pregnancies:
Coincidentally, I know a boy who was named after the doctor who delivered him, though the parents chose to flip the first and last name around!
Perhaps it's because we moved between my two pregnancies, but I never had a close relationship with my ob-gyn doctors…and as a matter of fact think I prefer to keep that arrangement on a professional-only basis. Maybe I'm missing out on a golden opportunity for friendship though? You tell me.
Congratulations to the Zolciak-Biermann family on their latest additions!
Are your children named after someone?

Global Paleogeography
Please NoteAs of February 2011, the maps on this page will no longer be updated; please visit
to access all of the maps in this series as well as new and revised maps.
Use of Maps
The paleogeographic maps on this website are intended solely for personal use and use by educators in the classroom. The maps may not be sold or redistributed or used for any purpose in which there is a charge or fee to use the maps. To use for any other purpose including scholarly publications, displays, kiosks, etc., please visit Colorado Plateau Geosystems Website
The global views presented in this series show how Earth may have appeared over the last 600 million years (Ma). All views were prepared from rectangular projections drawn at a resolution of 3000x1500 pixels for each of the 26 time slices. The orthographic (spherical) and Mollweide (oval) were wrapped using the respective projections. Topography was "cloned" from digital elevation maps of modern Earth from the USGS. Colors were adjusted to portray climate and vegetation for the given time and location. The modern Earth was also drawn in this manner using a color pallet derived from satellite images created by ARC Science of Loveland, Colorado. The geologic data was gathered from the references listed below.

It is time for another spoiler for "Bachelor in Paradise." On Thursday, ABC shared a new spoiler on their Facebook page about what will happen this next week. It is time for a new guy to come into the house, but things won't go as planned for him. Kalon McMahon is showing up and he doesn't have a ton of fans in the house.
The new clip shows Kalon talking about how he should be having an adventure, but nobody wants to leave their comfort zone. He showed up on the episode so of course this means that he got an envelope to go on a one on one date, but it doesn't look like anyone is really excited to go out with him.
He is not willing to give up his date card and let someone else go on the date. Kalon is there to have a good time. He reveals that he already tried the nice guy thing so he must have offered for someone to go with him and nobody wanted to go. Kalon is making history again and he is going to go on a one on none date by himself. He will still have a good time.
Kalon then yells out telling everyone goodbye and that he will be going on his own. He made it sound like it is a great date that he can't miss. Everyone yells at him to have a great time. It does sound like some of the girls told him no. This all makes it highly doubtful that he will be sticking around for long.
Kalon did reveal some about the show to ABC 13. He said this show was not near as glamorous as being on "The Bachelorette." He shared that it is kind of like summer camp for adults.
Don't miss "Bachelor in Paradise" on Monday night on ABC. This new episode should show a lot of drama that you don't want to miss. There will be a new episode on Monday and Tuesday night both this week.

Two days after inflicting minimal damage in Bermuda as a Category One hurricane, Tropical Storm Florence is making its way across southern and eastern Newfoundland.
A triple warning (rainfall, wind and tropical storm) has been issued for the Avalon Peninsula and the south coast of Newfoundland, including cruise port St. John's. Wind gusts are expected to top 78 miles per hour in some coastal communities. However, according to Canada's CBC, the storm is not expected to make as big an impact as initially forecasted.
The latest in the region:
Itinerary changes for Sea Princess, the next ship due into St.
John's, are still to be determined.
Marine Atlantic announced a delay in its service between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.
A power outage Wednesday morning in the west end of St. John's has affected several hundred customers.
We'll keep you posted as conditions warrant.

by Thomas J. Denham - Apr, 2013
An individual will be more prepared to take on the demands of an actual job search only after they have completed the first two stages of the career development process: self-assessment (Who am I?) and career exploration (Where am I going?).

Work Life Balance: Tips & Techniques
by Thomas J. Denham - Apr, 2013

Unconscious Bias is a Reality
by Alexandra Levit - Apr, 2013
Imagine that your employee has been talking about continuing his or her education, and is considering going back to grad school. You have a managerial position open for which this person would be perfect, but in the back of your mind, you worry that he or she will either leave or be overly distracted with school. So you create other reasons why another employee is better for the role, and leave this person as is. This is jus...

How to Break Up With a Fake Friend
You have a "friend" that is only being with you for a reason besides friendship, and you want to break it off with them. It'll take some time, but in the end you will be free of their false friendliness.
1Find out why they're doing it. Are they trying to climb up the social chain? Trying to copy your homework/work? Using you to get to someone else? Trying to find out some information? Why are they faking the friendship with you? You can ask them straight out, or just snoop around until you put the pieces of the puzzle together.
2After you find out, see if you can disassociate what they want from yourself. They might just leave you alone after they know they can't get anything from you. If it's homework, just say you won't let them copy you. Or if it's a group project that you did ALL (or most) of the work tell the teacher/boss they didn't do their share (go to the teacher/boss afterward if you don't want to seem like a snitch). Or if it's a person, keep contact with the person while the fake friend isn't around.
3If you can't disassociate, distance yourself from the fake friend as much as possible. Try to avoid them, or if you have a near identical schedule stay away from them as much as possible. When they ask to hang out say "No" or "I'm busy", eventually they'll get the message. If they, don't straight out tell them you don't want to be friends with them anymore.
4Try to get 1 or 2 (real) friends that know they're faking to join up with you. Not against them, but if they try to get one of you guys just say "Oh, I'm -insert excuse- with -real friend-", and the same for your friends, let them use you as the their excuse. If the fake friend tries to join you two on your fake plan say you guys just need some alone time to catch up with each other.
5If all else fails, plain out tell them you don't want to be their friend because you know it's fake.
Community Q&A
Unanswered Questions
What if the person that we became friends with is the fake friend's best friend, and we don't want to get on the fake person's bad side because she holds secrets that she can use against us?
Ask a Question
- Don't be rude with them! They'll probably start to talk bad about you, which will cause more ruckus. If you want to decline them, say it nicely.
- If they try to become friends with you AGAIN, just say "No" or "I'm busy" whenever they try to hang out with you.
- Try to let them down as nicely as possible, even if you really don't like them because they probably have some dirt on you.
- Be nice about it.
- Don't use the excuse "We need some alone time" all the time. Try other excuses that will exclude them.
- Make sure your excuse friend knows you're going to use them as an excuse!
- Say yes when they ask if your excuse friend says you two are hanging out. But say no if they asks if she can join.
- Some feelings may be hurt.

As all football fans know, this coming Sunday, February 3, will be Super Bowl Sunday. This is a day where football fans all gather to celebrate the game and watch the action as to which team will come out on top as the all-time champion for the season. And with any celebration, there has to be good food! So this week, let's make foods that will be just perfect for a Super Bowl celebration!
Pizza never fails to please, especially on this special day! In fact, it's been said that this is Domino's Pizza's busiest day of the year. Many pizza restaurants that aren't usually open on Sunday are planning to be open this Sunday to handle the requests for those who are having pizza for their parties. If you'd rather not order pizza, try making your own! The recipe I'm passing along is for "Vegetable Pizza" and this is served cold. It can be served as an appetizer or even as a main dish, which is especially good for those who are vegetarians or prefer something different from regular pizza.
The first time I had this recipe was at a gathering at a friend's home. The hostess of the gathering served this and I thought it was simply great, especially since I'm not a big meat eater. This recipe is incredibly easy and the only baking involved is baking the crust. Even that isn't hard to do with this recipe, since it uses canned crescent dinner roll dough! You press out the dough onto a baking sheet and bake it until lightly browned. You then combine mayonnaise with ranch dressing mix and cream cheese. This is spread over the baked dough. You now top with with Cheddar cheese, shredded carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. It now goes into the refrigerator and in a few hours, it's set to go!
This is a handy recipe to make for a gathering since it has to be made ahead and chilled before serving. This makes it easy on the host of the party, since this can be made ahead and be out of the way so you can focus on preparing other things for the gathering. Whether it's served as an appetizer or a main dish, it's really a tasty pizza!
Last year at this time, I shared a recipe for my mother's homemade spaghetti sauce, which we often have on Super Bowl Sunday. In case you missed it last year, here's the link to get it again:
And to see some recipes from last year's Super Bowl, here's the link to a video so you can find out more about those:
So, let's get things ready for this weekend, beginning with this pizza:
- 2 cans (8 oz.) crescent rolls
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 pkg. Ranch dressing mix
- 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- 1 cup chopped cauliflower
Spread crescent rolls thinly onto a pizza pan or rectangular cookie sheet. Bake according to crescent roll directions, baking only until light brown. Cool. Mix the mayonnaise, dry dressing mix and cream cheese until smooth. Spread over the prepared crust. Top with Cheddar cheese, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. Press lightly. Cover and chill for about 3-4 hours. Cut into squares or wedges of desired size. Yield: about 24 appetizer servings or 8 main-dish servings.

DUOPUZZLE - educational puzzle for kids
DuoPuzzle is an older game that I designed earlier for the SmartWood collection. It basically remained the same in the version for Smart Games, except we improved the quality of the finishing and packaging.
The object of the game is to construct an image as shown on the challenge card. All puzzle pieces must be used and you are not allowed to stack them more than 2 layers high. On one side of the challenge cards are the easier challenges, where a breakdown of each layer shows which pieces go where.
On the other side are the more difficult challenges where the two layers are combined into a single picture. Because you need to use all the puzzle tiles, you have to use logic to work out the right layer and placement of the puzzle pieces that aren't visible in the more difficult challenges.

College Hockey:Buffalo News: Canisius Players Went Above AD's Head
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Canisius athletic director Tim Dillon was overruled by higher administrators in the decision to fire longtime hockey coach Brian Cavanaugh, according to a report in today's Buffalo News.
According to the article, the decision was made by the school's vice president for student affairs, Ellen Conley. This came, according to newspaper sources, after the players first brought a list of grievances to Dillon, who tried to negotiate a solution. The players, however, were not satisfied with those talks, and took their concerns to Conley, according to the News.
The newspaper calls Conley a "longtime Cavanaugh adversary."
Cavanaugh was fired last week after 24 years on the job. The school cited "irreconcilable differences" when making the announcement. According to USCHO sources, the players threatened not to participate in the matchup against Mercyhurst on Dec. 10 unless Cavanaugh was fired.
All parties have refused comment on the situation, including Conley, Dillon, the school, the players, and Cavanaugh, who has referred inquiries to his lawyer.
According to article, John Hurley, Canisius' vice president for college relations and general counsel, reiterated that it was not a single incident that caused Cavanaugh's dismissal. Cavanaugh was reprimanded four years ago after an incident between himself and a player, Matt Coulter. Coulter charged that Cavanaugh forcefully hit him over the head with a hockey stick, while Cavanaugh said he just tapped him lightly to get his attention.
The News said it obtained a letter the players sent to Dillon, outlining their grievances. Among them, bad practices, poor organization, and a belief that Cavanaugh's hot-headed behavior and negativity was adversely affecting the team and its perception in the hockey world.
There is no indication of other specific physical confrontations with players.
The News article paints a picture of other coaches on campus being concerned that players could take a list of grievances such as that, and take it above the athletic director to get a coach fired.

Actor Dominic Purcell is adding some heat to the CW comic-book drama "The Flash". According to an exclusive report by The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, Purcell will be reuniting with his "Prison Break" co-star Wentworth Miller in the 10th episode. He will be playing a character by the name of Mick Rory who becomes the villain known as Heat Wave.
Purcell and Miller, who played brothers Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield on "Prison Break," will be working together again for the first time since the Fox prison drama ended in 2009. This time the pair will join forces in the DC Comics world as villains as Purcell's fire obsessed character teams up with Leonard Smart/Captain Cold (Miller). Miller is set to make his debut in episode four. That is also when fans will hear from Purcell's character, but will not actually see him.
The character of Heat Wave is a member of a band of villains called the Rogues, which is led by Captain Cold. Miller was cast in the role back in July and will present his fans with a different side of him as he plays the ruthless, cunning baddie who has battled the Flash in the DC comics for half a century.
Miller and Purcell aren't the only "Prison Break" alums to be featured in "The Flash" and "Arrow" universe. Actor Robert Knepper is set to reprise his "Arrow" role of The Clock King on the new series, and Peter Stormare will play Count Vertigo on the upcoming season of "Arrow."

The color is so neutral, it goes with anything, and looks great! I get so many compliments on it, that now I have to order another pair as a gift.
I never used to wear a watch, but now anytime asks for time or day of the month, I automatically look at my left wrist.
The watch does tick, and the plastic can be scratched pretty easily, but I think it is worth it!
However I discovered when I tried on the Rose Rebel that it's soft peachy/pink color made this large watch incredibly feminine. When looking online, I was afraid that the color would blend too much with my skin (fair and Irish), but I was pleased to find that it contrasted beautifully. The face has a lovely glow to it during the day and the plastic strap is quite nice and soft.
If you can't stand to hear your watch tick though, this may not be the one for you.
The colour is very nice, a soft rosy peach. It matches with most of my outfits.
The quality is great plus the price was great too. only $70 usd. I should have bought another colour,
It's worth the purchase.
