GLENMOOR -- A spokeswoman from American Electric Power was urging Glenmoor area residents to seek alternative shelter Monday night after a power outage left 3,800 customers without power as temperatures plunged.
Glenmoor is in southern Columbiana County, between East Liverpool and Beaver Creek State Park.
Carmen Prati-Miller, a spokeswoman with AEP Ohio, said both circuits from the Glenmoor substation were unable to operate after an equipment failure occurred at 7:15 p.m. Monday. Repairs were underway, but were expected to take some time.
"It may be all night," Prati-Miller said later Monday. "People need to take shelter tonight, because it's not going to be an easy fix."
The areas reportedly being affected included Y and O Road and other parts of Glenmoor, LaCroft, Bell School Road and Pleasant Heights.
A severe wind chill advisory alert also was issued in the county Monday. That alert from the National Weather Service will be in place until 11 a.m. on Wednesday. Temperatures without wind chill were expected to reach as low as 5 degrees before morning. Those venturing outside could face wind chills as low as minus-10 degrees.

The Fridge Factor
10 December 2004
by Bonnie Black
If you live in Equatorial Africa and you can't afford a refrigerator, you might as well kiss butter good-bye. And fresh milk and cheese and ice cream and cold drinks and last night's leftovers, too, just to name a few.
This is the latest lesson I'm learning here at my new post: how to live without a fridge, or, as one might put it in the lingua franca of this francophone Central African Country, "sans frigo."
I can't say I wasn't warned. When my Peace Corps recruiter in New York learned I wanted to trade in my ten-year-old culinary career for a two-year stint teaching community health in Africa, he looked at me long and hard. "You won't be able to cook or eat the same way," he said. "The food will be very . . . ahh . . . different."
"No problem," I thought at the time. I waved the warning off. "With enough onions and garlic I can make anything taste good," I bragged.
What I didn't consider then, though, was the fridge factor. Such a simple, common, everyday appliance. Every kitchen I've ever known in my whole life has had one. A refrigerator, like a sink, stove, and oven is what makes a kitchen a kitchen. First you wash, then cook, then keep the food from spoiling by refrigerating or freezing it. Why, a refrigerator is part of the very definition of a kitchen! Or at least that's what I used to think.
Now I can realize that for most of the people in the developing world, a refrigerator is a luxury item not even at the top of the list. There are four-wheel-drive cars and pickup trucks here in Lastoursville, a small town on the train line about two degrees south of the Equator. And I see glimpses of television sets blaring in mud-wattle huts as I walk by. But refrigerators? Most people here - including me - cannot afford one.
How does this affect the way people shop, cook, and eat, I wondered when I first came face to face with the problem last month. What impact does it have on their overall diet and their health? If you can't keep food from spoiling here in the rain forest, where bacteria, and all sorts of insect life thrive, what foods do you choose?
I'm in the process of finding out. This is what I've learned so far:
Forget leftovers. Some claim you can leave soups and stews, covered, on the kitchen counter overnight and boil them well the next day.
Forget dairy products. I've actually come to like the full-cream tinned powdered milk here; and besides, I've always wanted to cut down on my consumption of butter and ice cream anyway.
Forget ice cubes, and cold drinks, and cold anything, for that matter. The sensation of having something cold in the mouth is now, at least chez moi, only a memory.
The trick, I've found, is to shop for fresh foods every day and cook only as much as you'll consume that day. For me this means walking about a mile to the market every morning to see what the ladies there have to offer.
"What is this, mama?" I ask an elderly African woman who has piles of leafy greens in front of her on a rough wooden table.
"Epinards," she tells me. But it doesn't look at all like the spinach I've always known and loved.
"How much?" I ask her.
"Cent francs," she says. I offer her the coin and we smile at each other as I struggle to scrunch the leaves into my net shoulder bag.
Every day I try to say a little something to each of the women there: "What do you call this?" "How do you cook it?" "For how long?" "What does it taste like?" As well as, "How are you feeling today?" "What is your baby's name?" "Where were you yesterday? I missed you!"
The ladies at the market have become my friends. Their warmth, their smiles, their greetings brighten my day in a way that no refrigerator ever could.
Just the other day, one of the mamas commented on the skirt I was wearing. It was a long, blue denim A-line skirt my daughter had given me for my birthday several years ago. The old woman said, half-jokingly, half teasingly, "You could dance the tango in that skirt."
"Well, then, let's dance," I said. So she gamely got up from her wooden bench and we danced a little mock-tango -- for everyone's enjoyment -- right there, beside the piles of chili peppers and plantains.
Not having a fridge forces me to go to the market every day, but this is far from the hardship one might imagine. Every day I learn from these marchandes de legumes and enjoy experimenting with the produce I've brought back.
As soon as I get home I empty my net bag on the kitchen counter and proceed to create my "Soup du Jour" - a hearty melange of familiar and unfamiliar ingredients. Like life here in general, my soup each day is different from the one before. But the procedure I follow in making it is, like me, predictable: first I take onions and garlic .

The 6 Grossest Anti-Smoking Ads of All Time
Turns out Mayans and Aztecs were smoking tobacco in tubes as far back as the ninth century. That was way back. Like before SNL started and shit. By the early 1800s, the French had gotten hold of the tiny cigars and dubbed them "cigarettes," and from then on smoking was as suave as a Frenchman in an age before indoor plumbing.
Sometime in the late 1960s, people started thinking that smoking wasn't super cool anymore. Not a lot of people, mind you, but some people. Most everyone else was still on the James Bond bandwagon of irresponsible sex, drinking, and regular visits to flavor country.
For most of the '70s and '80s, smoking was still about as sexy as a boob just hanging out, so people had a lot of trouble with the whole anti-smoking movement. It wasn't until the '90s, when everyone realized that cancer was about as sexy as a 2012 Madonna boob just hanging out, that we really decided, as a people, to start putting serious effort into anti-smoking campaigns. And that, in turn, led to the ever-increasing need in advertising to trump the gross factor of previous ads. Apparently there's an abundance of research the rest of us aren't aware of to suggest that people will only stop smoking if you can make them gag. And you have to keep making them gag with newer, gaggier ads. Eventually, anti-smoking ads will literally just be diseased organs stapled into magazines, but until then, we have ones like these. Let's browse them in order of progressive grossness.
#6. The Future of Smoking
In the 1980s, Britain wanted you to know where we were headed if you kept smoking those fags. This smoker's dystopian future is full of creepy Steve Buscemi cousins who sit in their hazy rooms with their shirts unbuttoned, puffing away on whatever brand Brits enjoy, the Colonel's Lament or Wiltshire Slims, breathing through their giant Adrien Brody noses, ignoring sounds with their tiny ears and not seeing shit with their milky, dual-lidded eyes.
The gist of the ad is that you need to be this kind of super freak to enjoy smoking. But you're not a super freak, are you? You're a Spice Girl, or Robbie Williams, or that guy with the funny eye from Radiohead. You're eating spotted dick and sipping your tea under a gloomy sky, waiting for your shift as a chimney sweep to start.
The overall creep factor of this ad is kind of low, but it's there. It's like looking into Iggy Pop's house and seeing what he does during his downtime. On the universal grossness scale, this ranks a 3, or what is more commonly known as carrying on a conversation with a nude senior citizen in a locker room.
#5. The Fart
Youth smoking is a big issue, because kids are dumb and you can convince them to do damn near anything with minimal effort. Like there's this neighbor kid, I was all "If I see you fucking up my yard again I will skin you and your parents alive and no one will ever catch me because I know at least six ways to slip into your house unseen. I'm in there all the time when you're sleeping, so don't think you have any safety. Go on, tell someone, who's going to believe you?" and he was legit scared, even though I only know one way into his house. Kids are idiots.
This commercial, targeted toward teens and touting some curious statistic about smoking going down among that demographic, uses the power of fart humor to get the message home that no one smokes anymore. See, because this one kid wants to light a fart, only there's no lighters around because no one smokes anymore. So then we're left to determine for ourselves whether this is a good thing or a bad thing as the kid cuts loose a wicked wet fart for his friends.
For simply suggesting that filling a room with noxious ass wind is superior to smoking, this commercial gets a slightly higher grossness rating than the last one, putting it on par with grandma kissing you on the lips and holding it a beat too long.
#4. The Crotch Campaign
These ads have been mentioned on Cracked before, but if I may be so bold, I will turn around our previous critique of them and take umbrage with the meaning -- dicks don't cause cancer. The ads themselves feature a variety of young people in full on pre-suck mode before a dude in a suit. You can't see the guy in the suit, it could be Taylor Lautner for all we know, but it seems like the implication is that it's an older person and these teens are probably not old enough to have either a cigarette or a face full of man chode.
People were originally offended by these ads because they felt that they minimized and marginalized sexual abuse. That's a red herring. These ads are actually demonizing blowjobs, or at the very least suggesting that a cigarette is like an undesirable wang. What makes wang undesirable, assuming you're in a situation in which you'd maybe want wang to begin with? Poor hygiene. Otherwise, we're talking face rape. So basically tobacco is a cross between face rape and cheese dick. This is the worst anti-smoking campaign ever (not the grossest, that comes later).
For putting cigarette smoking on par with the shattered dreams of so many waitresses in Los Angeles, this ad ranks about as gross as accidentally putting your finger through the paper when wiping.

"It was magical," Timberlake, 31, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "It was an unforgettable evening."
Surrounded by close friends and family, the pair became husband and wife after days of pre-wedding celebrations leading up to the event.
"It was a fantasy," Biel, 30, tells PEOPLE of the nuptials, which will be featured exclusively in this week's PEOPLE magazine, debuting online Wednesday.
Italy – a special location for the couple partly because of their love for its food and wine – served as the perfect backdrop for the festivities, which began earlier in the week.
On Thursday, the bride and groom hosted a party for guests who hung out around open fires and dined on fresh-made cheese, local olives and wine. The night before, the group celebrated at a beach where they watched fireworks and listened to live music.
"It's great to be married, the ceremony was beautiful and it was so special to be surrounded by our family and friends," the couple told PEOPLE in an exclusive statement Friday.

EAST PALESTINE - A curbside recycling program in the village is coming together.
Council members heard from Lisa Hamner, of CSI Environmental and Chris Jacobs of the tri-county Solid Waste District this week on how the program will benefit the village. Hamner had first tossed the idea to council in June, and at that time the seated members said they would like to hear from Jacobs before approving anything.
Jacobs said that if implemented, the village will be the first in the county to take advantage of the non-franchised curbside recycling program.
He explained the district will purchase 18-gallon recycling bins for the village and the bins will then be distributed to interested haulers who will make them available to their customers. The haulers will pick up the recyclables at no cost to participating residents.
He said the district is able to purchase the bins through additional money it has available this year.
"We wanted to use (the funding) on capital, one-time expenses such as recycling bins," he said.
If the program works in East Palestine, the district intends to work with other municipalities to incorporate similar programs, he said.
He told council members that letters were sent to all available haulers in Columbiana, Carroll and Harrison counties to generate interest, but only one, CSI Environmental, has decided to participate so far.
Councilman Fran Figley asked Hamner why the company chose to participate since it wouldn't be charging its customers for the service.
She said that although it does cost the company money to offer the free service, it's "the right thing to do."
"Not only are you saving resources by recycling you are saving landfill space. You keep dumping all this crap in a landfill and it fills up and doesn't have to," she said.
Jacobs agreed, and noted that the waste district was formed in 1988 in order to reduce the amount of waste going into landfills. He added that a benefit for the haulers is they won't have to pay for the recycling bins, which will feature a serial number and be the property of the participating municipality. Two bins will be provided to participating residents, one for fiber recyclables and the other for plastic and glass.
The bins will be "tailored" to specify they belong to the village and could feature a Bulldog logo, or simply say "East Palestine," he said.
Roughly 4,000 bins, estimated to cost $40,000, will be given to the village and CSI will pick up the recyclables once a week should the village decide to participate.
Bins will be available to all residents in the village, but CSI will only pick up recyclables for its own customers, he noted. Residents wishing to participate in the program who are not CSI customers would need to switch haulers if theirs is not participating in the program.
Councilman Don Elzer said the program will help alleviate the amount of stuff going into the recycling bins located at the municipal parking lot. The municipal bins will still be available for use, however.
Hamner noted that there is currently no legislation in the county in which it is mandatory for residents to recycle.
"We are just trying to get people to recycle," she said.
Elzer made a motion the village look into the program and all but Figley approved. Later in the meeting Figley explained he wasn't against recycling but felt the village needs to focus on other things first.

When to eat to Shape Up and Tone
Improving your figure does not necessarily mean eating less food. Confused? Don't worry, read on for our nutrition tips and all will become clear.
Improving your figure does not necessarily mean eating less food. The important thing is ensure you refuel at the right times of day.
- Your body starts to use your fat stores for energy when you don't have any available carbohydrate in your system. Maximum fat loss will occur during workouts performed pre-breakfast when your body hasn't had any recent carbohydrate intake to utilise for energy and your fat stores will be the only option.
- If you have no time to swim in the morning, try to develop a habit of not eating for two hours before you get in the pool – this way your body will burn off the remaining carbohydrates whilst releasing free fatty acids and will then still utilise a portion of your fat stores for energy rather than energy from food you may have previously eaten.
- If you're training during the day, try to eat a meal of about 350-400 calories between two to three hours beforehand. Protein-rich foods are recommended along with more fibrous forms of carbohydrate, such as fresh green vegetables or salad items. A good example of this meal might be 100g of chicken or fish with cauliflower and broccoli or a green salad.
- Elite athletes will keep their blood sugar level as constant as possible by snacking regularly (and healthily) during the day. Only do this if you cut down the size of your main meals – it's not an excuse to eat more during the day and then continue to eat large high calorie meals in one sitting.
- Always refuel within 30 minutes of training and preferably within 15 minutes. Your body needs the nutrients to repair muscles and energy. Make sure you're refuelling with the 'right' foods though – something low in fat but high in carbohydrates and protein, such as a protein shake with a banana blended in.
- Don't overeat in the evening! Try to steer clear of any starchy and simple carbohydrates after 7pm – as this will not only create a greater capacity for fat storage, it can also affect your sleep patterns and leave you feeling sluggish and uncomfortable the next morning.
- If you can't live without an evening snack, opt for something high in protein like a glass of milk or a small protein shake where the absorption rate is slower and will be synthesised while you sleep.

Journeys of freedom & discovery. Travelling in purpose-built trucks or 4x4s you'll see all the highlights but also get far off the beaten track. Led by a professional crew or driver, groups consist of up to 22 adventurous passengers enjoying a real hands on experience.
These are active trips - there is lots to see and do along the way. You may be trekking our unique Community Inca Trail in Peru or taking a 3 day canoe safari along the Zambezi. There will be days of long drives, but then there is plenty of time to get off the truck and to explore. Typical activities include horseriding, hiking, rafting, biking; you name it we do it somewhere in the world.
On an overland trip you're more than just a passenger, you're part of the crew, and everyone gets involved with setting up camp, food shopping and being part of cook groups. There are also a number of other responsibilities that are part of the overlanding lifestyle, for example collecting water and firewood, loading luggage into the lockers and helping to keep the truck clean and tidy.
Our tours are designed to offer freedom and flexibility, so there's a general route to follow but it's very much a 'day by day' affair rather than a strict hour-by-hour itinerary. Our vehicles allow us to get off the tarmac road and to travel the road less travelled. We take the scenic journey across the high Bolivian Altiplano to Argentina rather than the main highway or if the whim take us, we pop off on a side trip to a bushman village in Namibia. This freedom allows us to go beyond the usual tourist routes and infrastructure - it's unique to overlanding.
Depending on where you're travelling, accommodation is a mix of simple hotels or guesthouses, campsites and local family homestays, with some bushcamping in more remote areas. The level of comfort varies from very basic to upgrade potentials - its the yin and yan of travel.
Our trips are run at grass roots level and we try to involve the local community in the trips themselves. You might find yourself staying in a Quechua Indian village, visiting one of our community projects in Central America, riding horses with Kyrgyz shepherds or helping at a school in Africa.
Take the road less travelled and join an overland tour.
Our tailor made adventure holidays will truly inspire and delight the senses and will live in your memory for ever.more info
Join us on one of our worldwide adventures coming up over the next few months – all guaranteed to depart, all at up to 20% off.more info

Daemen College is the latest to struggle with one of the great challenges in higher education: Parking.
As ordinary as that may sound, colleges everywhere ponder solutions to appease the hundreds, or thousands, of commuters driving to campus each day.
What about a parking garage?
It worked for Canisius College.
Build more lots?
That's what D'Youville College had to do.
How about a parking app?
It's one of the many ideas under consideration at Buffalo State College.
Now, the focus is on Daemen, where students know to arrive early to get one of the 839 parking spaces on a campus that enrolls nearly 3,000 – roughly half of them commuters. Otherwise, they're relegated to the nearby side streets, like sophomore Kayley Wasielewski.
"It's just part of coming to Daemen," Wasielewski said, as she walked to her car parked on a street adjacent to campus. "There's just a lot of people – and no parking."
But the parking problem has come to a head.
The Town of Amherst – prodded by angry Daemen neighbors – is threatening to post parking restrictions around the Main Street campus to ease student parking on residential streets and force the college to create more parking on campus.
"Everybody has the right to park on public streets," Amherst Council Member Guy Marlette said, "but the college also has the responsibility to fit its infrastructure to meet demand and I think they've been slow to address that."
"One of our concerns is paving the front of our campus," said Robert Beiswanger Jr., vice president for business affairs and treasurer at Daemen. "In a nice, residential neighborhood like Snyder, it's important to maintain that green space, if possible."
Others can relate.
Parking has been a sore spot for a number of years at D'Youville in Buffalo, as it grew into a largely commuter school with some 3,000 students.
Over the past 15 years, D'Youville has purchased 40 parcels around its West Side campus and turned them into parking lots, said John Bray, a spokesman for the college.
"Parking is a problem at every campus, especially in the city," Bray said.
And if the problem isn't a lack of parking on campus, it's that the parking is too far away. Everyone wants a space close by.
Ask the University at Buffalo.
UB has 16,000 parking spaces between the North Campus in Amherst and the South Campus on Main Street, but circling the lots in search of a prime spot is a well-known pastime.
"In fall 2012, the peak day and time was Wednesday at 11 a.m.," said Maria Wallace, director of parking and transportation services at UB. "At that point in time, we still had more than 1,000 spaces within the North Campus."
Canisius, located within the city's Hamlin Park neighborhood, has dealt with parking complaints from students, faculty and neighbors for years.
"I've always said, 'We don't have a parking problem, we have a walking problem,' " said Ellen Conley, vice president for student affairs at Canisius. "We have a number of lots, but they're not all next to the offices and classrooms."
The situation improved when the college acquired the former HealthNow building on Main Street several years ago, Conley said. That's because the deal included a three-story parking garage.
Meanwhile, at Buffalo State College, President Aaron Podolefsky decided he would address campus parking, after he asked students for ideas on where the school can improve.
"On every occasion, the first answer, and sometimes the only answer, is parking," Podolefsky said last fall.
Michael LeVine, vice president for finance and management at Buffalo State, said the college has adequate parking on campus – nearly 4,000 spaces.
It's just not always convenient, LeVine said.
Now, a committee is looking at ideas – such as car-sharing or promoting public transportation – to ease the parking. Posting a food truck in the far lots, for example, may at least make those distant walks a little more pleasant for students.
Another idea: A smartphone app that would let commuters know where and how many parking spaces are available on campus.
A parking ramp is also a consideration – although a costly one.
"To me, that's kind of the last resort," LeVine said. "It's tough to make them economically feasible. You have to have a lot of turnover and the state doesn't really want to be building parking ramps with state money."
On a recent morning at Daemen, a line of 50 vehicles was parked in front of the school on Main Street, while more found spaces across the street on Mount Vernon Road. Most were parked on neighboring Campus Drive, where the student housing is located and Sara Grana backed into a spot.
"It's not a big deal," said Grana, a third-year physical therapy student. "I've never gotten a ticket or been late for class."
But it's a very big deal for some Snyder residents, who say the number of vehicles parked on their streets is not only a nuisance, but a safety issue. A count by the town last fall showed that at the parking peak, 373 vehicles were parked on side streets surrounding the college – 250 with Daemen parking stickers.
"Each year, with Daemen expanding and with their enrollment increasing, it's been getting worse and worse," said Gregg Haas, who lives on nearby Getzville Road.
The problem has subsided in Haas' neighborhood, after the town restricted parking on Meadow Stream Drive in the fall and Woodbury Drive at the start of this semester.
But Marlette, the Amherst council member, believes that has just pushed the problem onto other streets.
The college has since leased 62 parking spaces at the former YMCA nearby, 30 from Amherst High School across the street and another 20 from the neighboring Campus Manor Apartments for use by students, staff and faculty, said Beiswanger, the Daemen official.
"I think it will help," he said. "The other strategy is we're encouraging our faculty to offer courses other than at peak demand times."
Marlette isn't convinced.
"They continue to grow and the problem continues to grow," Marlette said. "They truly have to realize in order for their campus to continue to function, they have to address some of these parking concerns."
Marlette said he believes Daemen is still probably 200 parking spaces short, and he said he will call for a public hearing in March to place parking restrictions on surrounding streets – excluding Campus Drive – to prod the college into action.
That left Wasielewski, the Daemen sophomore, with one question: "Where are we going to park?"

Coronary arteries bring oxygen rich blood to the heart muscle. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is narrowing of these arteries. If the blockage is complete, areas of the heart muscle may be damaged. In a severe case, the heart muscle dies. This can lead to a heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction (MI).
Causes include:
Men, especially those who are over 45 years of age, are at increased risk. Women who are over 55 years of age are also at increased risk.
Factors that may increase your risk of CAD include:
Other risk factors may include:
CAD may progress without any symptoms.
is chest pain that comes and goes. It often has a squeezing or pressure-like quality. It may radiate into the shoulder(s), arm(s), or jaw. Angina usually lasts for about 2-10 minutes. It is often relieved with rest. Angina can be triggered by:
Chest pain may indicate more serious unstable angina or a heart attack if it includes the following:
Accompanying symptoms may include:
Immediate medical attention is needed for unstable angina. CAD in women may not cause typical symptoms. It is likely to start with shortness of breath and fatigue.
If you go to the emergency room with chest pain, some tests will be done right away. The tests will attempt to see if you are having angina or a heart attack. If you have a stable pattern of angina, other tests may be done to determine the severity of your disease.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
You may need to have your bodily fluids tested. This can be done with blood tests.

This medication is usually given during an attack of angina. It can be given as a tablet that dissolves under the tongue or as a spray. Longer-lasting types can be used to prevent angina before an activity known to cause it. These may be given as pills or applied as patches or ointments.
A small, daily dose of aspirin has been shown to decrease the risk of heart attack. Ask your doctor before taking aspirin daily.
Other blood-thinning medications may be prescribed.
These may help prevent angina. In some cases, they may lower the risk of heart attack.
Medications, like statins, are often prescribed to people who have CAD. Statins lower cholesterol levels, which can help to prevent CAD events.

Q. I know everyone is pushing the cloud, but I don't trust it. Is my data really safe when I put it up there?
A. For the most part, yes. The more popular cloud companies — Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon, etc. — have advanced servers that you usually can trust for reliability. You're much more likely to have your own computer crash than for those companies to have a total server meltdown although the occasional outage isn't unexpected.
Now, you do have to worry a little bit about security. Between hacks on high-profile sites and companies like Google giving your data to law enforcement, you might think twice. However, most of those realities are true of any online service, and you're just one out of millions of users. Just make sure you know how a company responds to these privacy concerns before you use any of its services.
Q. I'm shopping for a new HDTV. I keep seeing stuff on the boxes that say "more than one-hundred percent of the color spectrum." How is that even possible?
A. I don't blame you for being confused. HDTVs use a color gamut called ITU-R Recommendation BT.709 or Rec.709 for short. That's the standard used to create most video. It doesn't display every color the eye can see, just most of the common ones.
TV manufacturers will try to outdo this by displaying more than the required gamut. They want you to believe this will lead to a better picture, but it often leads to oversaturation of color. The best test for color isn't any marketing ploy, but your own eye. Use that to judge your HDTV's color. If you want to make the colors better, you can calibrate your display with THX's app and TweakTV.
Q. I've gotten in trouble recently for missing a couple of important emails from my boss. How can I make sure I see those emails before I see any others?
A. Most email services allow you to set up filters for incoming email. Some even let you color code and label your email with ease. Set up a folder labeled "Urgent" and direct any email from your boss' email address to that folder. Then set up a "Read Later" folder for mail that you don't have to respond to right away.
If you want more advanced filtering options, use programs like Outlook or the free Thunderbird. They have filtering features that you won't find in Web mail. They're also great for handling multiple email accounts in one location.
Q. I heard that Google keeps my search history. Is this true? Can I delete it?
A. Yes and yes. You can find what sort of history Google has on you at history.google.com/history. You might have to sign in with your Google account to see everything. Click the checkbox next to any item and click "Remove item" to get rid of it.
Once your information is removed, click the gear icon in the upper right corner and choose Settings. Select Turn off your Web history to stop most of Google's recording. However, Google still will keep some things for its own use. To stop it completely, switch to a more anonymous search engine like DuckDuckGo.
Q. My prescriptions are driving me to the poor house. Are there any sites or apps that can help me save?
A. I know quite a few, actually. Together Rx Access has savings on almost 250 prescriptions, but there are some eligibility requirements. Your income has to be below a certain level and you can't already have public or private prescription drug coverage.
If you don't meet those eligibility requirements, you might find help on Needymeds. The site combs grants, vouchers and patient-assistance programs that you might qualify for. If those don't help, an app called Lowrx can help you save 75 percent on some of your prescriptions.

US Youth Soccer Region III Championships Quarterfinal Round Begins
Semifinals set for Under-14 through Under-16 age groups

Okla. (June 24, 2013) —
The next step in achieving Regional Championship dreams started Monday for teams in the Under-14 through Under-16 age groups at the Region III Championships in Edmond, Okla. After the quarterfinal matches, just four teams remain in each of these gender age groups. Those teams are now preparing for the upcoming semifinal matches and a chance to get one step closer to a spot in the US Youth Soccer National Championships, held July 22-28 at Overland Park Soccer Complex in Overland Park, Kan.
While Monday's winners still have a couple steps to take before being crowned US Youth Soccer Region III Champions, one team will soon earn that title on Tuesday when NASA 12 Elite II (GA) and TBU Premier Girls 93 (FL) square off in the Under-19 Girls final with a ticket to Overland Park on the line. NASA is looking to reclaim the Region III crown after winning in 2011 and falling in the semifinals last year.
Here are recaps of some of Monday's quarterfinal games…
It took overtime to decide the Under-16 Girls matchup between GCUFC 97 (MS) and 97 FC Alliance Black (TN). The teams exchanged goals by GCUFC's Margaret Kowalski and Alliance's Bailey Williams in the first half, and the score remained deadlocked at 1 to force overtime. Just a few minutes after GCUFC had a powerful strike hit the crossbar, Delaney Griffin gathered the ball in the box and shot across the face of goal to beat the diving keeper and give Alliance the lead. The final whistle blew moments later to give Alliance the 2-1 win and move the Tennessee state champions into the semifinals, where they'll meet 97 Norcross Fury Premier (GA).
Elsewhere in Under-16 Girls action, 97 Louisiana Fire Navy (LA) remained perfect in Edmond with a 3-0 win over Lady Chiefs Elite 97 (GA). The Fire's Alexandra Thomas put her team up in the 36th minute when her shot was deflected by the keeper but had just enough momentum to roll over the goal line. Thomas doubled the lead with a left-footed strike in the 43rd minute and the Fire received a late goal from Kassandra Ortega to cap the scoring. Defending Region III Champions Sting 97 (TX-N) will be waiting for the Fire after they won 5-1 on Monday.
Under-16 Boys GSA Phoenix 97 Red (GA) had its hands full against a tough LRFC Elite (AR) squad. GSA, which won all three of its pool games, put pressure on LRFC, but the Arkansas state champions held strong for the entirety of the game. It took a Joseph Efford goal with just a minute left in regular time to push GSA through to the semifinals.
After registering three wins in its preliminary games without conceding a goal, Under-15 Girls Liverpool 98 Elite (TX-N) was up to much of the same on Monday against Tophat 16 Gold (GA). After a scoreless first half, Liverpool's Sarah Fagan found the back of the net in the 41st minute to give her team the only goal it would need. Liverpool's defense turned in another shutout as the Texas side advances to the semifinals, where it will meet Tennessee SC 16 (TN) in a rematch of last year's final, which Tennessee won 2-0.
Under-15 Boys Plantation FC 97 (FL) will be moving on after a tight 2-1 win over local side Oklahoma Football Club. Planation's Nicholas Hinds opened the scoring in the 6th minute, but OFC came right back when Christian Balderas Garcia netted an equalizer in the 12th minute. The score remained tied until an own goal by OFC gave Plantation a 2-1 advantage, which would hold up to the final whistle. Plantation will meet 2012 Region III runners-up FC Dallas 98 Premier (TX-N) in the semifinals, while defending champion Sunrise Elite 97/98 (FL) is also still alive.
The Under-14 Girls matchups featured several strong performances by the winnings teams. Last year's runner-up, Tulsa Blitz 99 white (OK) won 5-0, and Oklahoma FC 99 (OK) posted a 4-1 win. Tulsa Blitz will meet Sunrise Sting 98/99 (FL), a 3-0 winner on Monday, in the semifinals. Meanwhile, OFC will play Tophat 17 Gold (GA) for a chance to advance to the final.
The Under-14 Boys age group had a little extra action on Monday, as HESC 99B NAVY (TX-S) won a spot-kick shootout to claim first in Pool C and host Solar Chelsea Red 99 (TX-N) in the quarterfinal. Chelsea got off to a good start when Carlos Flores scored five minutes into the game, but HESC's Jesus Toscano scored on either side of halftime to give his side a 2-1 advantage. Chelsea would take over from there, getting a pair of goals from Javier Leija and one from Mandel Steward, to win 4-2. The loser of the shootout, TSC Hurricane 99 Bedwell (OK), also lost its quarterfinal match, falling 2-1 to 2012 semifinalist Texas Rush 99-Prep (TX-S).
Regional winners of the Under-13 through Under-19 age groups earn a berth to the 2013 US Youth Soccer National Championships, which will be played July 22-28 at Overland Park Soccer Complex in Overland Park, Kan.
The US Youth Soccer National Championships will consist of US Youth Soccer Regional Champions in the Under-13 through Under-19 Boys and Girls age groups, as well as the US Youth Soccer National League qualifiers in the Under-15 through Under-18 Boys and Girls age groups to complete the field of 88 teams.

She was born in New York, but Nashville star Hayden Panettiere is becoming a down-home country girl.
The 24-year-old, who's engaged to boxer Wladimir Klitschko, is buying a home in Tennessee.
While a lot of her fellow cast and crew were buying homes in Nashville "pretty immediately" after the show began shooting, Panettiere tells PEOPLE that she wanted to take her time.
"That's a big investment and a big commitment for something [like a TV show] that can be very fleeting," she explained at the CMT Artist of the Year awards on Tuesday.
"But after a year and a half of living here, I felt that I had enough personal investment here, that I want to have a grounding here, even if something happens to the show. Knock on wood it won't! But I have amazing friends here and this just feels good as a home base."
When asked how her 6'6"-tall Ukranian fiancé will adjust to life in Nashville, she smiled and said, "He fits in anywhere. He's a very worldly man!"
As for any wedding plans? "With both of our schedules, it's crazy trying to schedule anything, much less a wedding," Panettiere admits.
But she does have her perfect dress – and perfect day – in mind. "I can picture it," she says, but admits she's a bit uncomfortable about having all the attention focused on her on her big day.
"I'm very shy in some ways," she says. "Obviously I'm in the spotlight professionally, but to be that vulnerable, standing up in front of people doing something so personal, that's kind of a new thing for me and not exactly in my comfort zone."
She adds: "There are many ways to get married and we'll figure one out that is comfortable for both of us."

What a Guy!-er
Brandon Guyer ripped a two-run home run over the LF fence in the 5th, made a spectacular run-saving diving catch in right-center in the 7th, and sliced a game-tying single to right with two outs in the top of the 9th, but the A's took advantage of a Ryan Flaherty error in the bottom of the 9th to score an unearned run and edge the Cubs 5-4 in AZ Instructional League action at the Oakland A's Papago Park Sports Complex Field #2 in Phoenix this afternoon.
The 23-year old Guyer is one of the most experienced players at Instructs (he has a half-season of AA experience), and he was invited to Instructs specifically to work on improving his arm strength, HR power, and outfield play in CF and RF.
Guyer was a third-baseman in HS before enrolling at the University of Virginia in 2004, where he was moved to LF because some guy named Ryan Zimmerman had already staked-out 3B for the Cavs. The Cubs drafted Guyer in the 5th round of the 2007 Rule 4 Draft, and kept him in LF at Boise.
Guyer began to display HR power at Peoria in 2008, hitting 14 dingers in just 88 games (he missed the first half of the season rehabbing an elbow uinjury at Extended Spring Training),.and he was so impressive at Minor League Camp this past March that he was jumped to AA Tennessee to start the 2009 season.
But Guyer struggled at Tennessee and was demoted to Hi-A Daytona in May. Then after hitting 347/407/453 in 73 games for the D-Cubs, Guyer was moved back up to Tennessee again in August. Combined at Daytona and Tennessee in 2009, Guyer hit 282/339/385, with 28 doubles, five triples, 3 HR, and 30 SB (7 CS) in 130 games.
Even though he is not a "natural" outfielder, Guyer plays OF with the "crash & burn" spirit, energy, and enthusiasm of a football free-safety (like a Reed Johnson or an Eric Byrnes), which has (unfortunately) resulted in all too-frequent injuries But when healthy, Guyer can make the run-saving or game-saving spectacular catch, as happened today.
It's likely that Guyer will begin the 2010 season back at AA Tennessee (where he finished the 2009 season), probably playing all three OF positions to help him develop the versatility he will likely need once he reaches the big leagues. The fact that he has also played 3B in HS and both 3B and 1B occasionally in college could mean that he might morph into a super-sub IF-OF at some point, especially if he can learn to play 2B.
Although I have no specific reason to believe this will happen, it's possible that the Cubs will add Brandon Guyer to the "taxi squad" of the Mesa Solar Sox next week, once Instructs is over and the AFL season commences. They did this two years ago with Steve Clevenger, after he completed Instructs. (Players on an AFL team's "taxi squad" are permitted to play in games on Wednesdays and Saturdays only, although taxi squad players often will end up being elevated to "full time" status to replace an injured player).
Besides Guyer's big day, 2009 6th round pick Brooks Raley got the start in this afternoon's game, and threw three shutout innings. The 21-year old lanky 6'3 lefty struggled with his command (throwing 56 pitches, but only 29 strikes), although he did get lots of ground ball outs, especially when he really needed them.
Raley is not overpowering (89-91 MPH sinker, with a decent breaking ball and an OK change), and while he is not as polished as fellow LHP Chris Rusin (Cubs 2009 4th round pick out of the U. of Kentucky), he does seem to understand the concept of mixing his pitches and working hitters. As things stand right now, I would expect Raley to begin the 2010 season in the Peoria Chiefs starting rotation, with Rusin probaly getting jumped to Daytona .
What's interesting about Raley is that he was probably the best "two-way" player in college baseball in 2009, a "draft-eligible" sophomore who played OF on days he wasn't pitching (Raley is a good hitter with plus-speed and an outstanding OF arm). Of the scouts out here who saw Raley play at Texas A & M, about half liked him better as an outfielder (CF), although (obviously) the Cubs see him as a pitcher (at least for now).
Raley's $750K signing bonus was more than what most 2nd round picks got this year, so his bonus was WAY above the slot where was selected (6th round, #200 overall selection in the draft). In fact, among the Cubs 50 draft picks in 2009, only 1st round pick Brett Jackson received a larger bonus than Raley,.But the Cubs had to pay over-slot to persuade Raley to turn pro (and he didn't sign until July), since he had two years of eligibility remaining at A & M. Now it's up to Raley to prove the Cubs weren't fools.
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only):
1. Kyung-Min Na, CF: 1-4 (K, K, 4-3, 1B), R
2a. D. J. LeMahieu, 2B: 1-3 (L-4, 1B, 6-3), CS

5. Brandon Guyer, RF: 2-4 (4-3, HR, 5-3, 1B), R, 3 RBI
6a. Michael Brenly, DH #1: 0-2 (K, 5-3)

9b. Hak-Ju Lee, SS: 1-1 (1B)
10. Pin-Chieh Chen, DH #2: 1-3 (K, 2B, F-7)
1. Brooks Raley - 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 6/1 GO/FO, 56 pitches (29 strikes)
2. John Mincone - 1.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R (3 ER), 1 BB, 2 K, 1 GIDP, 2/1 GO/FO, 33 pitches (18 strikes)
3. Yao-Lin Wang - 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 2/1 GO/FO, 28 pitches (16 strikes)

5. Corey Martin - 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 1 BALK, 1/1 GO/FO, 27 pitches (19 strikes)
ERRORS (1): Ryan Flaherty (E-5) - juggled ground ball allowing batter leading off the bottom of the 9th inning to reach base, and the runner moved up to 2nd base on a WP and to 3rd on a balk, before scoring the (unearned) winning run on a one-out line single to CF.
1. Brandon May: 1 PB
2. Jae-Hoon Ha: 0-2 CS
WEATHER: upper 80's & sunny (it's getting hot again!)

Re: What a Guy!-er
pretty intense class-ism/economy/humor article.
it's a week old, fwiw.
Re: What a Guy!-er
Thanks for the link, Crunch. It's an aspect of sports that's rarely touched on these days. Of course, everyone going to pro sporting events doesn't come from a household making over $75,000/yr. So they no doubt lay it off on plastic which leads to all kinds of other problems we're seeing. Nice to see a sportswriter even talking about class in America. Sports and class are intertwined in many interesting ways.

Re: What a Guy!-er
PHIL: Re "two-way players", I believe I was watching ESPN for a couple minutes and saw Colin Kaepernick, who is the QB for Nevada Wolfpack. The announcer said he was drafted by the Cubs. In fact I looked him up and he was taken in the 43rd round. So, maybe he would be in the "team photo" for best young "two-way player", although, I have only seen him on the grid-iron.
Thanks as always for your AZ coverage, AZ PHIL.
Finally, do you think you will get around to your "AZ PHIL'S TOP PROSPECTS" soon? I'm sure many of us would enjoy an update on your perspective since the season is over for our MLB and MiLB affiliates. GO PHIL!
Re: What a Guy!-er
Re: We're #1
Worst article I've partially read in a long time. The criticism is absolutely inane. Could have been written by a resident of Bridgeport.
Re: We're #1
I thought the Red Sox one was pretty accurate, I have to say. Only read three or four myself. "English Football Fans" like there's one team is a bit stupid. Fantasy Football fans are 10X worse than any individual team's fans if you're just making non-sense groups.
Re: What a Guy!-er
They were talking about this on local (Houston) radio yesterday... the main reason that people don't like Cubs fans, from what I can tell is that it's because they exist.
If you look at ticket sales and merchandising sales to actual baseball fans, Cubs fans are by far the #1 team in America. Yes, more Yankees hats are sold, but walk up to someone in Texas (or Colorado or New Mexico or Canada or UK) with a Yankees hat on and ask him who their second basemen is, and he'll most likely not going to know. Ask a guy with a Cubs hat, an he'll know (as well as who the Cubs second basemen of the week is).
Re: What a Guy!-er
1- the yanks arent on this list for some reason
2- it's put together by/for a social scene that lets Maxim Magazine tell them how to act and dress like "real men"
i bet the guy who wrote it wears various Axe for Men scents depending on the day of the week.
Re: What a Guy!-er
"If you look at ticket sales and merchandising sales to actual baseball fans, Cubs fans are by far the #1 team in America..."
I don't know if I would agree with this statement. Do you go around to these states to take straw polls?
To a degree, the teams that win regularly sell more merchandise, and have deeper, knowledgeable fan bases.
After the Yankees make it to the WS this year, people will know who their 2B is. Red Sox, during their Playoff and WS runs, same.
When the Braves were on their "clock", Forbes had them ranked as more "popular" than the Cubs. According to gate receipts, from 2009, the Cubs rank #1 in "away" attendance.
But, the Cubs really don't even have a 2B TO remember. Unless you count Jeff "whats-his-name" - oh yeah, BAKER. And, the other three guys!
Re: What a Guy!-er
Just visit towns and walk around - go to sports bars and see which games people ask to put on, go to a festival and see 5 Cubs hats for every Red Sox hat, and people yelling "Cubs!" if you walk by with a Cubs shirt on.
The Cubs and Yankees are the biggest away draws - but the Yankees attract people to cheer for their home teams against the Yankees, whereas the Cubs attract people to cheer for the Cubs.
Yeah, if you win a WS it helps you pick up some fans with no allegiance, but the Cardinals have won their share, and they're nowhere near as popular as the Cubs or Yankees.
Re: What a Guy!-er
Yep, Cubs fans suck. We're bigots and whiners. May we rot in hell because our team can't win and we bitch about it.
I guess I should just care less, but the whining about Cubs fans gets really old.
Re: What a Guy!-er
It's the eternal optimism I think that is supposed to allegedly get on people's nerves, not the bitching.
Re: What a Guy!-er
Is it the eternal optimism, or the falseness--the ironic optimism: "There's always next year"?
I don't like the media reputation of most Cubs fans, and I'd rather not listen to many lackadaisical Cubs fans talk about the Cubs--but the people who watch most of the games and love baseball, there as good a set of baseball fans as you'll find anywhere else. And other teams have those fans who go to games and don't pay attention but still pretend to be fanatics.
Re: What a Guy!-er
Thanks AZ PHIL.
Is this common?:
"The Cubs drafted him off an old scouting report from when he was in high school."
I am assuming they based this on his football arm currently, then, and he must have had some success at the HS level?
Re: What a Guy!-er
84 at bats after having not played baseball competitively for 4 years and they release him? I guess I shouldn't complain, though, since I am always railing about them drafting athletes instead of baseball players, but it would have been nice to at least let him have a crack at Instructs.
Re: What a Guy!-er
"Or maybe Hendry was hoping to sign Kaepernick so he wouldn't be available to play against Notre Dame last month..."
HAHA! Probably the truth, AZ PHIL. Yep.

|Mimics of serous borderline tumor: Figures 24-27. High grade serous carcinomas may, on occasion, grow in a non-invasive pattern and therefore mimic serous borderline tumor at low power (Figure 24). Severe cytologic atypia (grade 3 of 3) is shown at high power in Figure 25. This is incompatible with a diagnosis of serous borderline tumor. Figures 26 and 27, both micropapillary tumors, show nuclear atypia that exceeds what many pathologists would accept in a borderline tumor. Submitted by Robert A. Soslow, MD

In its quarter-century of existence, the Blair County Sports Hall of Fame has traditionally spread the wealth around when it comes to honoring area athletes from a variety of different sports.
The 2014 Hall induction class, set for enshrinement on Saturday, April 26, 2014 at the Blair County Convention Center, will continue that trend.
Five new inductees who achieved prominence in five different sports will be recognized at the Hall's 16th induction banquet.

Zandy's wife, Patty, will accept her husband's posthumous induction.
The Hall will also induct another team - the 1966-67 Bishop Guilfoyle boys basketball squad, which won the Pennsylvania Catholic Interscholastic Athletic Association title.

New Hall of Fame President Neil Rudel feels the 2014 class will do the Blair Hall proud.
"This class is a tribute to our county's rich athletic history,'' said Rudel, who succeeded Dave Andrews as Hall president earlier this year. "We're now 16 banquets and 85 inductees into the Hall of Fame, and yet the pool of candidates still has people who achieved national recognition, which is our first criteria.''
Gallagher, a 1969 Hollidaysburg High graduate who now lives in Colorado, won 16 national championships in the United States Tennis Association - four in singles, four in mixed doubles, and eight in doubles. The former Karen Brumbaugh, Gallagher won national titles on every surface (hard courts, clay, indoors and grass) and is a member of the Sportswomen of Colorado Hall of Fame.
Patterson, a 1969 Altoona High grad who lives in Conshohocken, placed 19th in the 1981 Boston Marathon with a time of 2:14.18 and also qualified for the United States Olympic Trials in both 1980 and 1984.
Kutz, a 1992 Altoona graduate, won the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association championship at 126 pounds at Lehigh University in 1996 and went on to place fifth, third and second at the U.S. World Team Trials and sixth at the Olympic Team Trials.
Kutz, 39, is currently head freestyle wrestling coach with the United States Army World Class Athlete Program, resides in Colorado Springs, Colo. He nailed a trophy bull elk while bowhunting there a couple weeks ago before returning to his house to hear the news of his induction.
"When I got the call, I was extremely honored, and it capped a great weekend for me,'' said Kutz, who joins Wade Schalles and Johnny Orr as the Blair Hall's other wrestling inductees. "Finding out that I'm only the third wrestler ever [inducted], following the likes of Wade Schalles and Johnny Orr, makes it even more special.''
Wilt, a 1987 Hollidaysburg graduate who currently lives in Duncansville, set a Pennsylvania record by winning six Golden Gloves boxing championships between 1994 and 2001 and was inducted into the state Golden Gloves Hall of Fame in 2010.
Zandy, who died in 2007 at the age of 63, led Fordham's basketball team in scoring as a senior during an era (1963-66) when Fordham made two National Invitational Tournament appearances. A 1962 BG grad, Zandy pitched in the Kansas City and Oakland organizations in 1966 and 1968.
The 1966-67 Bishop Guilfoyle basketball team, coached by Bill Gaffey, won the first basketball championship ever secured by a team from Altoona.
Four players on that BG team - Pat Shute (St. Francis, basketball), Joe Landolfi (Massachusetts, basketball), Tim Sigrist (Notre Dame, football) and Tom Turchetta (Miami, football) - went on to play sports collegiately on the Division I level.
"That was not only a great team, but also, a great bunch of guys who participated on that team,'' Gaffey, 76, who currently lives near Harrisburg, said.
Pittsburgh's Stan Savran will return as banquet emcee, and outgoing Hall president Andrews will be honored at the dinner. The featured speaker, community service award winner and scholarship recipients will be announced in the coming weeks.
Tickets cost $75 or $750 for a table of 10 if paid before Jan. 1 and $85 ($850 for table of 10) after that. Checks can be made payable to the Blair County Sports Hall of Fame, P.O. Box 162, Altoona, Pa. 16603. Inquiries can be directed to email@example.com.

SUBHD: 1966-67 Bishop Guilfoyle boys basketball team
Won the 1966-67 Pennsylvania Catholic Interscholastic Athletic Association championship, the first basketball championship won by a team from Altoona. Played in the Class A classification - the biggest of three classes then (Classes A, B and C). Coached by Bill Gaffey, the team featured four players who later earned Division I scholarships. They included Pat Shute (St. Francis), Joe Landolfi (Massachusetts) and football players Tim Sigrist (Notre Dame) and Tom Turchetta (Miami). Signature moment was a victory over Bishop Canevin of Pittsburgh - at the Pitt Field House - in which BG trailed by four points with 16 seconds left to play but tied the game on shots by Shute and Sigrist and won the game in overtime, 67-66, on Shute's shot in the waning seconds. The two shots - Sigrist's to tie the game and Shute's to win it in overtime - were later judged the third-biggest shots in Blair County history by the Mirror's Big Shot series. The Marauders defeated Shamokin Lourdes in the PCIAA final, 61-57. BG's title was its first of two as the 1970 team also won the PCIAA.

The team captured the BG community and the city as 20 busloads of fans ventured the Pitt Field House and Johnstown War Memorial. Gaffey later coached Susquehanna Township to a PIAA title.

Exercise Your Sock Options
Leave the stripes in the drawer and slip into zigzags, florals and paisleys this spring
TOP-DRAWER BRITS have long had a penchant for standout socks, brandishing them as identifiers of social rank, sporting endeavors and private club membership. Most American sock exhibitionists, on the other hand (or foot, as the case may be), look like victims of holiday office-party gift exchanges.
However, a new breed of stateside man is boldly going where only dandies once dared to tread. They're showing a strip of fun between the pant-hem and shoelaces with all manner of patterned socks that one-up the now-ubiquitous stripe. However, this flair for a signature pair is less a peacock strut than an intimate statement of individuality. If you see this gent's socks, well, swell; if not, he knows they're there.
"A little pop of color when crossing one's leg in a meeting or springing over a puddle on Fifth Avenue is acceptable and often desired," said Douglas Hand, 43, a partner at Manhattan law firm Hand Baldachin & Amburgey, which represents designer brands such as Steven Alan, Rag & Bone and Public School. "I'm seeing more statement-making sock patterns on some very dapper lawyers."
From where, you may wonder, did this smart-sock jolt in the zeitgeist come? Perhaps it's an extreme reaction to last year's Cult of the Sockless (resulting in odoriferous and prematurely damaged loafers). However, the pattern trend could also be attributed to the recent heritage-driven influx of men's accessories shops, specializing in the little things that make a man stand out.
Neckties, button-downs and pocket squares have all had their moments in the spotlight, noted Will Meyer, 43, a partner in the Manhattan architecture and design firm Meyer Davis Studio and a fan of sassy socks. "Now you can out-style everybody with your socks," he added. "They're the new way to subtly up the ante on your look."
'The end result should make you smile at your own sartorial inside joke.'
London-born investment banker Euan Rellie, 45, took that sentiment one further. "Socks are what maketh the man; they are not novelties," said Mr. Rellie, who is known in New York social circles for his style acumen. "Unsophisticated people tend to look at a man's shoes to determine his quality, but anyone can fake it with shoes," he continued. Mr. Rellie agrees there are rules to heed when wearing unconventional socks. "I'm a rakish guy, but cashmere socks are too louche for even me," he said. "All socks should be cotton, wool or some mixture of both." He further mused, "They're a bit like underwear. A spouse who wears bad socks is effectively inviting you to have an illicit affair."
Earlier this year, Mr. Hand stocked up with socks by some of his favorite labels, including Paul Smith, New York/Los Angeles sock purists Hook + Albert (who use Peruvian Pima cotton) and Bonobos, which is known for two-tones and polka dots.
Other sock brands to seek out for imaginative motifs include Savile Row's New & Lingwood, which is remarkable for its Pac-Man and skull-and-crossbones patterns; and Richard James for its geometric florals. A strong newcomer is Los Angeles-based Richer Poorer, which excels in graphic tribal-inspired patterns. There's also Etiquette, which does bold zigzags; and the Swedish-based Happy Socks, known for its finely honed and bold sense of color. For classics with tennis rackets and bandanna paisleys, there's Polo and J. Crew.
This new world of hot-to-trot hosiery does have limits. Mr. Hand warned against "cartoon images, words of any kind and garish patterns."
The best way to start experimenting is to work with a palette that's harmonious but not matchy-matchy: Choose a sock pattern featuring a hue that's in the same color family as your pants and your shoes. Certain combinations invariably play nicely together: kelly greens and deep purples with brown-toned shoes; blues and yellows with off-whites, like bucks and trainers. With certain neutral elements, like tan suede desert boots or denim, there's much more leeway in how loud and proud you can go.
The end result should make you smile at your own sartorial inside joke—perhaps one that you share with the few who notice your sliver of rainbow's edge.
Spring is an apt time to test the waters with playful but sophisticated patterns. But unless you're donning old bucks, tennis shoes or chukkas, keep the socks—any socks—on when wearing pants, lest you fall prey to an ungodly slipper-like foot accoutrement on the menswear horizon: "Loafer liners," said Mr. Hand. "Not acceptable."
Corrections & Amplifications
Hook + Albert is based in New York and Los Angeles. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said it is based in London.

LAKE TAHOE - Turns out one of the best views of Lake Tahoe isn't actually at Lake Tahoe.Case in point: Astronaut Thomas Marshburn's recent shot of the Jewel of the Sierra from the International Space Station.The shot captures the full length of the lake, as well as the snow-capped peaks of Desolation Wilderness. The Tahoe Keys, Fallen Leaf Lake and a frozen Cascade Lake are each clearly visible from more than 200 miles up.Marshburn tweeted the photograph Jan. 20 with a sentiment that typically echoes much closer to home: "Hey Tahoe - how's the skiing?"The 52-year-old North Carolina native arrived at the space station in late December and is expected to be on board until May, NASA spokeswoman Rachel Kraft said."He is living, working and researching aboard the International Space Station," Kraft said.The current expedition is studying wide-ranging topics including biology, physiology, earth sciences and how humans adapt to space, according to Kraft.The views from the space station may be getting more attention than the science.Marshburn is a backpacker, mountain climber and snowboarder who has at least some knowledge of the Lake Tahoe Basin. He hiked many of the same peaks he photographed from space while on the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada in 1980, according to a profile by the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center.In an interview on NASA's website, Marshburn said finding your hometown from space is a pastime of space station astronauts."You have to plan it out ahead of time, you hope there are no clouds and then if there's a break in the work you go over to the window and take a look," Marshburn said.

A reference made to positioning yourself around an unsavory character or seedy person will certainly lead you down a harmful and descructive path.

GOP:?Rest in peace?
January 29, 2013
Some political commentators are dancing on what they believe to be the grave of the Republican Party, claiming that the only way the GOP can have a viable future is for them to behave like Democrat....
Did Governor Jindal really say all of those things? Gee, what I hear from the big news media is that he "blasted" his party, told them they had to change their principles, to get away from being a party full of "old, angry white" guys and such...
Could it be that the news folk are not giving us the whole story? Egads! What a shocker...

It is called "golf" because all the other four letter words were taken, for the game that can reward and frustrate like no other.
F*ck or Sh*t are two of many examples used just after the the ball is struck. even the word "Four" is shouted often to express the "joys" of Golf.

More than a game, it is a habitual endeavor that takes precedence over work and friends. A perpetual quest for improvement. A sport for athletes as they get older and realize their limitations. A pleasure beyond definition. Played by yourself, with a partner or in a group. Worse than drugs and better than a first time fuck.
Golf is the game of intergalactic champions. Surpassed by nothing. Takes priority over all, except being naked with the wife. She loves golf too.

A sport where you can be a professional athlete who can bench press 300lbs and do 100 sit-ups and still suck. A sport where power is not needed, but skill and practice. Manages to be the most infuriating game you'll ever play, and a joy to behold all in the course of one round.
You golf haters are all jealous because the 120lb nerd can beat you at a sport

A sport that was apparently popular enough to have a category on urbandictionary.com.

A sport,that despite the general stereotype that only the elderly play, is quite fun. It's more of a finesse sport as opposed to strength and speed.
Golf can be fun for anyone. Hell, I'm 17and I enjoy playing a round of 9 holes everyone once in a while.

a sport that will take over anyone's life. Girls will find themselves competing with a golf club for attention. Golf can make people in an extremely crabby mood if they get a bad score.

Hey everyone!How's it going? Thanks for your votes last week!We have the Argentine tango and the flamenco, or the "Flaming Co." We haven't really started the flamenco yet, but we have some of the Argentine tango done. I want to make some tweaks to it though. I think I need to simplify the choreography in certain areas to allow Kellie to just dance it. It's like the opposite of the team dance ...

The Bean Tower in our test garden yielded 2,400 beans between mid-July and late September — in just 1-1/2 square feet! Supports are 5 mm thick with 3.5 mm crosspieces. Openings are 7-1/2" square to allow easy harvesting. In windy locations, we recommend anchoring with our Extra-Tall Earth Staples, sold separately.

Can you define these popular missing words?
When you're being left out of something that's "middle". The appropriate response to being left out or ignored is to yell "MIDDLE" to let the people around you know that you need attention.
MIDDLE! Throw it in the MIDDLE!" or "Can we get some attention here in the MIDDLE?

A tall kick ass chick who plays in position three. Hardest job on the court, and blocks like its nobodys business. Her hits are insanely hard and amazing. The one who looks the best in spandex because of her long legs. Passing isnt her forte, but she'll kick anyones ass in hitting. Middles are often feisty and crazy. They know how to have a good time on and off the court. Hot, tall, funny, and fantastic at volleyball. Who wouldnt love a middle?

Middles are the tests that take place at the end of the first semester of the school year. Since they aren't finals, they are middles, because they take place in the middle of the year.
"Dude, don't you just hate middles?"
"Yeah, man, they're retarded. Just make us take 1 final to get it over with."
"Yeah, man, they're retarded. Just make us take 1 final to get it over with."

. . . . . . . . .People will think of a possible solution. Try it. If it fails they will try a variation of it, and repeat. This is how humans think! The problem occurs when the initial path will not lead to a solution. Then you need to think outside the box, or Creatively. But our brains don't do that, so what happens is we go home, or out to a bar, or on vacation, and our brains forget about the path, but see something else and then start trying those variations a new path. This is why we see so many creative solutions on a napkin, or in the shower. Our minds where able to try a new path. However, when you collaborate with others you are constantly being put on new paths. Interaction with other people starts to push you on to other paths and those paths push the other person to still other paths. Creativity is massively enhanced. So the next question is:
Do you consider programming to be a creative process?
