I think most of us would agree that the best way to blow off steam at the end of a hard day or long week is to have a few cocktails. But, have you ever considered how those cocktails are affecting your overall health and beauty?
Did you know that alcohol is one of the things that accelerate aging ? And can harm your beauty in a lot of other ways, too?
Will it change your drinking habits in the future? Let's reconsider

Nah, I wont stop drinking. The guy across the bar has beer goggles anyways so it doesn't matter what I really look like. Hehehehehe.
But honestly, yeah, no - I wont stop.

I think everyone at this point in time knows what things like smoking and drinking do to their bodies. I don't care that drinking is ~bad~ for me, I won't stop.

It's funny, I'm not a huge drinker but I make cordials and wine. Once I get into my own place, I'll start making my own beers and meads as well.
In all honesty, if I am going to drink, I am at least going to drink quality stuff.

I think that alcohol drinking is really harmful for us, especially daily drinking is not good. You can enjoy this evil drink just occasionally.

I've actually found that red wine curbs sugar cravings, and I'm fairly certain that the massive amounts of sugar I was eating before I started drinking red wine were much worse for me than the wine.
That only works in small amounts, though. Drink more than a glass, and you end up lowering your inhibitions and drinking a lot of calories, which ends up being unhealthy.

I try not to drink too much because it just makes me hungry and I want to eat more, but don't they say some wine is "good" for you?

Yup, the main thing you hear about is the antioxidants, but it looks like there's actually a chemical that regulates blood sugar too, so the "curbing sugar carvings" effect isn't just in my head. According to MayoClinic, most of the actual evidence is just in mice, though.
If I drink a lot I end up eating a lot too, but if I keep it to just a glass, I feel more satisfied than if I hadn't had any wine. I also stick to having it with dinner, so I'm supposed to be eating at the same time, and it's absorbed nice and slowly. It may be partly the mouthfeel; a full-bodied red wine is just so there in my mouth. I find it satisfying.
As DreamWarrior seems to have already noticed, the OP appears word-for-word on several other sites, so it was probably a bot post.

Moderate drinkers tend to have better health and live longer than those who are either abstainers or heavy drinkers. In addition to having fewer heart attacks and strokes, moderate consumers of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine and distilled spirits or liquor) are generally less likely to suffer strokes, diabetes, arthritis, enlarged prostate, dementia (including Alzheimer's disease), and several major cancers. ______This is what I saw from a website

I've been drinking a glass of red wine everyday during dinner for the past 3 years and I'm completely fine, so is my skin. Guess it doesn't affect anyone if it's not in excess, right?

hahaha omggg TOO funny! Dream warrior, i literally lol'd.
the only thing that concerns me about alcohol and beauty is weight gain. I literally gained SO much weight when i started drinking red wine and i didnt even notice bc weight gain is gradual. Well...in all fairness i was drinking a lot of red wine daily and eating a lot so that didnt work out too well. lol.
Wine is easy to consume in large amounts when you build up a high alcohol tolerence. once i stopped drinking wine i literally lost 30 pounds without even changing my diet or excercising or anything.
sooooo if you ever wanna lose weight, perhaps take out the alcohol. worked for me!

A) I'm biggest light-weight you've ever seen.
B)I exceed my limit way too quickly, and it never ends glamorously(Think: Passing out in a bathroom and somehow ending up naked and tucked in a bed, lol. Good friends, good friends.)
C) Way too many calories-not pretty (for me)
D) Makes me feel poopy and guilty about the calories.
E) I know it's not good for me
So...I RARELY drink anything. Seriously. Maybe a glass of champagne at New Years. I think I had a drink in July, after my wedding. Yep, straight-laced Slinka over here. Maybe others can be moderate drinkers, but I don't think that's the road I should take. Not to mention- Alcoholism/substance abuse runs in my family, and I don't want to become that.

ALSO alcohol has a ton of calories... especially those cocktails. I would probably limit those sweet fruity drinks to no more than a few a week. Wine, on the other hand, I think is okay? I heard it's good for the heart.

Too much alcohol is too bad all around. But lots of studies have shown that a little bit of alcohol from time to time can be good for your health. The real problem is having too much.

Hey i Wont!
Recently i came across a topic Truth about red wine and your skin which said that drinking alcohol/wine i(in moderate amount) is effective to for retaining healthy and flawless skin. Doesn't it sound amazing?
But there is always a caution an having too much alcohol;moderate drink should be one to two glasses. more than this can cause heart diseases etc.

Review: Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho (@jessicadhaluska, @zenaldehyde)
Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho
Series: Sorcerer Royal #1

In this sparkling debut, magic and mayhem clash with the British elite…
The Royal Society of Unnatural Philosophers, one of the most respected organizations throughout all of England, has long been tasked with maintaining magic within His Majesty's lands. But lately, the once proper institute has fallen into disgrace, naming an altogether unsuitable gentleman—a freed slave who doesn't even have a familiar—as their Sorcerer Royal, and allowing England's once profuse stores of magic to slowly bleed dry. At least they haven't stooped so low as to allow women to practice what is obviously a man's profession…
At his wit's end, Zacharias Wythe, Sorcerer Royal of the Unnatural Philosophers and eminently proficient magician, ventures to the border of Fairyland to discover why England's magical stocks are drying up. But when his adventure brings him in contact with a most unusual comrade, a woman with immense power and an unfathomable gift, he sets on a path which will alter the nature of sorcery in all of Britain—and the world at large…
I tried to read SORCERER TO THE CROWN by Zen Cho THREE separate times, and had pretty much given it up for lost when I decided to give it one . . . more . . . chance.
Many, many thanks to friend and fellow Ace Roc Star Anne at The Book Nympho, whose review influenced this decision. *tips hat*
The beginning is slow, no getting around it. Even if I hadn't been reading mostly high-octane, action-packed urban fantasy in the weeks prior to my first attempts, I think I still would have found it slow.
I was initially reminded of a Jane Austen novel.
You: But you LOVE Jane Austen!
Me: Yes, I know.
You: ???
Me: I love Jane Austen, despite the florid prose, not because of it.
BUT. Given time, this book grew on me for the same reasons EMMA and PRIDE AND PREJUDICE did: clever hilarity and exasperating yet wonderful characters whom I grew to absolutely adore.
And BONUS, there is the kind of whimsicality that can only be present in a FANTASY novel.
Zacharias Wythe is not a white, land-owning man in something like 19th century England. He was adopted and emancipated by Sir Stephen Wythe, Sorcerer to the Crown, and his presence in society is met with both acceptance and ridicule by the peerage, and:
Though he had never doubted his guardian's attachment, being Sir Stephen's protégé had at times felt like being a touring attraction—a dancing bear on its lead.
And how easy it is to blame one whose existence you already disdain for problems almost certainly not of his doing.
Like the steady decline of magic in England? Who better to hold accountable than the new Sorcerer to the Crown? Especially when it so neatly provides a solution to the problem that is the new Sorcerer to the Crown?
But regardless of continuous and varied mistreatment at the hands of other thaumaturges, Zacharias is determined to discover the source of England's lack of magic as his station demands, and during this search he also discovers the plight of gentlewitches.
Well-bred ladies do not practice magic, you see. If a young lady is discovered to have any magical ability at all, she is shipped to a boarding school where her use of magic will be stamped out.
It is in one such school that Zacharias stops as a favor to a friend, only to find that the method of suppressment is an altered version of a KILLING CURSE, modified to be cast by a lady on HERSELF, draining her magic temporarily, along with her energy and essential spark.
Zacharias is predictably horrified (b/c not a stuffy, pompous wanker like his sorcerer brethren).
And it was at Mrs. Daubeney's School for Gentlewitches that things started to pick up.
I began to see hints, not carbon copies, mind you, but hints of well-loved characters from various girlhood favorites, most notably in Mrs. Daubeney herself, who when vexed behaves in a rather Mrs. Bennett-like fashion:
"You ought to have considered me, but no one ever does, and it puts me in an impossible position!"
Then there's the scene of utter pandemonium that somehow manages to combine early ANNE OF GREEN GABLES Anne:
Henrietta stamped her foot, her grey eyes drowned in green light.
"I will teach you a lesson for that!" she cried. "How dare you call him my precious Mr. Wythe! How dare you say I am in l-love!"
With those wretched Pringles she doesn't encounter until several books later:
When Prunella entered the classroom, Clarissa Midsomer was trying to bang Emily Villiers's head against a desk. Emily was resisting this, screeching in a manner fit to bring the ceiling down.
(I couldn't find a good picture of the Pringles or of the classroom in chaos after the fireworks were set off, but this one works just as well, I think.)
Fairyland resembled a combination of Bedknobs and Broomsticks' underwater and king of the jungle segments.
Flanked by fish-faced guardsmen, the Fairy King lounged upon his throne . . .
YES. That is fantastic.
Resemblances, purposeful or accidental, aside, were not the only amusements, and I found myself shaking with laughter on more than one occasion, be it the result of a formidable aunt named Georgiana Without Ruth (<——get it? Ruthless? *snickers*), or his fairy Highness explaining why England's magic is being shunted elsewhere (but don't worry, not to France. They don't like France any better than England does):
"It would be an end to all peace if they returned," he said, with a sigh. "We should give them our first-born child if that would persuade them to stay away. Indeed, we made the offer, but they would not look at poor Cuthbert."
Poor Cuthbert.
BUT. As much as SORCERER TO THE CROWN made me laugh, there is so much more to it than humor. Peppered throughout the story are painful truths:
To her surprise Prunella found that she was still attached to Mrs. Daubeney. She would never trust her again—no! But one could nonetheless be very fond of someone in whom one had no confidence whatsoever.
When Prunella at last listened to the full message contained in the singing orb, I found myself in tears, and there is an Elizabeth and Darcy scene so spectacular as to give its namesake a run for its money.
Maybe you didn't hear me: there is an Elizabeth and Darcy scene so spectacular as to give its namesake a run for its money.
SORCERER TO THE CROWN by Zen Cho was fantabulous. Plain and simple. I'm so glad I didn't let a slow start derail my consumption of one of the best books I've read this year, and I hope you'll read it for yourself, b/c it's just that good. Highly recommended.

I had been a bit wishy washy about this one before, because it reminded me a lil bit of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (will there ever be a day when I don't type Mrs Norris instead of Mr Norrell first? *despairs at Potterheadness even in this*) but the moment you said that our main character is NOT a stuffy wanker you totally won me over!!
And the rest of the review simply served to confirm that! Now I've gone and requested it on NG because I'm-broker-than-broke this month, and if I don't get approved I'll be getting the eBook next month or the month after!

Fantasy isn't a genre I dip into often, Jessica. And I might not take a second look at SttC because of that. But, I must admit I'm very, very intrigued by this story and it's mostly to do with your mention of references and nods to some of my (and your) favorite stories and characters. 😉 I am glad you made mention of the slow start though. I'll keep that in mind when I pick up this one.
Also, I laughed…hard…about your loving Austen "despite the florid prose, not because of it." I happen to adore the florid prose but I won't hold it against you. 😀 Still laughing… Happy Friday!

Sorcerer to the Crown sounds fantastic, Jessica! I'm sure you're very happy you ended up being able to read through that very slow beginning. I actually love florid prose – when I'm in the mood for it, so I think this would work well for me – also, sorcerers, right?
Have a fantastic Friday and happy reading 🙂

THIS BOOK SOUNDS SO GOOD, JESSICA. I totally agree that I love Jane Austen (or the two books I've read by her) in spite of the florid prose and not because of it. I don't really like books with weird flowery proses so I am a tad worried but I think I will be FINE. As long as the book cracks me up.
Also really curious about this Elizabeth/Darcy scene thing you are talking about…… especially if you say it will give the original a run for its money.
Fantastic review as always, hon <3

Does the Soul/Spirit Really Exist?
During my research of debating the existence of a human soul/spirit, I came across this blog. What do you think of this theory?
Science deals with what can be observed, directly or indirectly. So in one sense, you could say that science is simply not providing any answers to the question about the existence of a soul or spirit component of a human being.
That, of course, keeps science polite to religious ideas.
What science knows about the human body and the evolution of humanity does have some consequences for a soul-belief, however. This question is more philosophical than really science, but the two are not separated, and they shouldn't be.
First, the idea of a human spirit -- a ghost in the machine -- was developed when primitive people had an animistic view of life. Life was, they thought, a magic component that kept living beings alive. It was considered as real a thing as any other. Various religious people had different beliefs about how you could observe this spirit, and how it behaved.
Religions also needed a belief in a spirit/soul to postulate life after death. The soul-belief has remained a common (but by no means universal) part of human religions all over the world. At this time people had no idea how the human body worked. They knew about various organs -- like the heart or kidneys -- but really didn't have a clue what they were for. As we can see in the Bible, they often postulated various mental/psychological/moral functions for these organs.
Fast forward: We know how the body operates: we are essentially a machine. We also know that human thought is developed through electro-chemical processes in our brain, not very unlike a computer. We know basically how it works on a micro-level; the mystery that remains is to really understand how all these small thought processes build up a single self-aware consciousness. But we know that who "we" are -- our thoughts, feelings, memory -- are directly related to physical and chemical components in our brain. Sometimes disease or an accident damages small parts of the brain. People then have parts of their memory disappear, or being altered, or they lose motoric control over different parts of their body. We know how different chemical stimuli can create visions and change how the brain perceives reality. Many well-known and often-used substances can seriously change even a person's emotions.
What room, here, for a non-body component called a "soul" or "spirit"? If our personality was in a mystical spirit, why does it change corresponding to a body change? When a part of the brain is damaged, how come the personality supposedly in this spirit changes too? When we die, parts of our brain usually collapses and takes its thought patterns with it. Eventually, so much of the brain is gone that we are proclaimed dead, and the rest of the body is buried or burned; considered useless. Since a small brain damage does small damage to the personality in the supposed "soul", how can anyone believe the same "soul" suddenly is alive and well, with all memory, feelings and personality traits intact, when the brain is totally destroyed? What transfers this memory or whatever from the brain stem to this mystical soul?
In fact, the idea of a soul or spirit is ludicruous. To say that science has not disproved the idea for all intents and purposes is fooling oneself. In all other ways of life, the logical absurdities of postulating a "spirit being" would lead all sane people to reject it. We would assume that the idea was rejected. But out of respect (mistaken IMO) for religious emotions people still pretend that science has not disproved the idea of a spirit. For all intents and purposes, it has.
Let me illustrate with an example: say I postulated an idea that cars really had a car-spirit. The reason a car stopped when the gas run out was not, I claimed, the gas per se, but that the car-spirit had been depleted. When the car ran, it was driven by the car-spirit force, not by any combustion engine, even though I acknowledged the existence of such an engine. Would anyone seriously think this even made sense? That I had explained anything? That this actually merited any serious considerations, given that nobody had ever disproved the "car-spirit"? Of course not.
The existence of the human spirit has exactly as much merit as the car-spirit.
Our current understanding of how the physical brain creates our mind should in my opinion be sufficient to reject the idea that our personality can exist in a non-physical form.
It is true, and will probably always be true, that science does not understand everything about how our brain/mind works. It is, for example, a total mystery how the basic functionality of the brain hardware creates a conscious mind. In fact, it is pretty much a mystery what a conscious mind is.
Thus, in the same way that theists can push an increasingly elusive God into the gaps that still exist in our understanding of the physical universe, supernaturalists can try to make a soul or spirit fit into the gaps in our current knowledge about the brain. I argued previously that since an appeal to the supernatural is unnecessary for understanding the mind, it does not really explain anything, and since we reject these kind of pseudo-explanations in other situations in life, we should also reject it here.
The belief in a soul (or spirit) is closely tied to belief in human immortality. We have always observed that the human body is destroyed by natural processes after death. For our conscious self to survive physical death, we would need to have some component that is not material, and that survives death, bringing our personality, thoughts and memories into some trancendental existence. The ancient Egyptians used embalment to try to preserve the body for the afterlife. Most contemporary religions who espouse an afterlife doctrine argues that since we have a soul (or spirit), we don't need our bodies. We can still somehow live on.
As much as I personally would like to believe in an afterlife, I find that it contradicts everything we currently know about the world. Thus, I cannot believe it.
Now, I must hasten to add that there are many different definitions of both "soul" and "spirit", and this can easily confuse any debate to the point of becoming meaningless. Both 'soul' and 'spirit' is often used as a reference to artistic expression, a person's deepest conviction, or the depth of a person's character, and many other meanings. I am not presently discussing such things. I do refer to 'soul' (which I for this purpose consider synonymous with spirit) only in the meaning 'a non-physical entity that can carry our conscious selves after the body is destroyed.' If we have such a soul, this means that 'we' can survive death, and we will preserve at least some of our memories and personal qualities from this life. This being will have a sense of being a continuation of a past corporal life, of being 'us' in a real sense.
There are two dillemmas, or problems, I would like to point out to those who believe in such a soul.
Firstly, some supernaturalists point to known holes in our scientific knowledge of the world. Or they point to ill-understood, or perhaps more correctly, counter-intuitive scientific theories like quantum mechanics. I see this as an appeal to inaccurate knowledge. How can we reasonably conclude that lack of knowledge about certain details necessarily, or even probably, point us in the direction of the ancient beliefs of cultures that often didn't even know that the Earth was round? If a new discovery should actually point us in another direction, surprisingly giving us some support for the idea that we do have a soul, fine, then we should go along with that. But future developments are just as likely to point in the opposite direction (or more so). To hold on to a belief that conflicts with all present knowledge, expecting that evidence will mysteriously appear to support it in the future, is obviously irrational.
Furthermore, I will point out that the progress of scientific discovery has been consistently leading us away from supernaturalism and towards wholly naturalistic explanations. As science has been able to shed more and more light on the workings of the universe, previous supernatural explanations have been found superfluous at best, flawed at worst, and were rejected. The understanding of electricity has explained to us how lightning works. If there still existed people who believed in ancient Greek mythology, they would perhaps still postulate that somehow lightning bolts were really, somehow, on a metaphysical plane, the works of an angry Zevs, but I doubt anybody else would consider this a serious explanation.
The argument above is inductive, and somebody could still argue that sometime, in the future, scientists will discover facts that finally supports their particular supernatural beliefs, but in doing so, they violate everything we call common sense. Natural laws are derived from continued observation and inductive arguments, and once you have seen apples falling down a sufficient number of times, you no longer really believe it is possible they will fall upwards tomorrow.
The reason I suspect that quantum mechanics is currently en vogue as a hiding spot for the soul is that this is a fantastically counter-intuitive branch of science, and it is also complicated, generally only understood (if 'understood' is a good term here) by people who have a firm grasp of mathematics and physics. Previously, the theory of relativity has been popular among adherents of all sort of pseudo-science and new age'isms. It has the same convenient qualities as quantum mechanics: it is difficult to understand and its implications are quite baffling. Where understanding is lacking, it is easy to try to fit in some preconceived ideas. I am certainly no expert in either field, but I have never seen anyone giving a rational explanation of why QM or relativity should really support any form of supernaturalism. Rather, I see many examples of complicated terms being misused, and often used to baffle believers to conclude that a particular preacher knows more than he or she really does. Thus, I admise caution in adapting the terminology from science and using it where it does not belong.
The second problem I want to point out to supernaturalists who believe in the soul is an argument I already touched in my first article.
We know from empirical data that physical damage to the brain sometimes permanently damages a part of a person's memory. Sometimes, also, various abilites and talents are lost. When the physical brain is damaged, through accidents, disease or use of restricted substances, the personality and memory is directly affected. Sometimes scientists can learn a lot by observing which parts of the brain is damaged, and what effects this have on the patient, thus making meaningful conclusions about how the brain operates.
Now, if we really have a soul, which somehow retains all (or most of) this information independent from the physical brain, why does physical damage to the brain have this effect? Furthermore, as a person dies, more and more of the brain is destroyed, and the personality disappears along with it. This is a tragic spectacle to experience for anyone who has seen a loved one die a slow death. We see no evidence that there is a soul who keeps the mind alive through the decay and eventual destruction of the brain.
Why, then, should we believe that when the brain is totally destroyed, the personality, memories and abilities suddenly reappears in a non-physical form? Is the soul a metaphysical backup of our physical brain that is somehow liberated, tranformed to spirit form (whatever that is) and can live on.
I will reassert that the belief in a soul is a rudiment of an ancient, supernatural understanding of the world. It may have make sense for an ancient. who tried to understand how a person can live, to postulate an inanimate power within that was the 'real' person. It could then follow that this power, or soul, could survive death. But when it became obvious that thougths are directly linked to electrical and chemical processes in our physical brain, this view ceased to be rational. It defies reason and it defies the actual facts we have on the table. That many intelligent, otherwise rational people subscribe to this idea, I attribute to our species' remarkable tendency to be conservative in retaining beliefs and practices long after their usefulness is over.
The 'soul' is a relic of the past, an expression of nostalgia. To a significant degree it is also an expression of our desire for immortality. But wanting something to be true does not make it factual.

TNT investigates Angie Harmon's series return
'Law & Order' vet will play the lead in 'Rizzoli,' based on Tess Gerritson's novels
TNT is hoping to bring Angie Harmon back to primetime as the star of the new mystery pilot "Rizzoli."
Based on Tess Gerritson's popular Jane Rizzoli mystery novels, the pilot is being adapted by Jane Tamaro ("Bones"). Tamaro and Bill Haber will executive produce along with Michael M. Robin, who will also direct the pilot.
"Angie Harmon is not only a terrific actress, but also a favorite of crime drama fans," states Michael Wright, executive vice president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and TCM. "She will bring a combination of toughness and sensitivity to the challenging lead role. We're thrilled to have Angie on board for what could be an outstanding addition to TNT's collection of strong female characters."
Gerritson has written seven mysteries built around the Rizzoli, a Boston-based detective. In the books, Rizzoli works closely with Maura Isles, a medical examiner who will also be part of the pilot.
In addition to Harmon's long run as ADA Abbie Carmichael on "Law & Order," her TV credits include regular roles on "Women's Murder Club" and "Baywatch Nights."

(Please keep in mind while reading this slideshow that I wrote it on December 31, 2010 hoping to post it on the eve of New Year's Day. However, I never quite got around to it since I have been busy since with examinations. As you can probably tell, much has happened since December 31 in the WWE Universe. So please, while reading, maybe keep in mind that you're reading it on December 31. With that said, hope you guys had a great New Year's and enjoy reading my first publication here at Bleacher Report!)
What a year it has been for the WWE. One year ago, if you told me that Miz would be WWE Champion this time around, I would have said that you were crazy. One year ago, if you told me Shawn Michaels would be retiring, I would not have believed you. One year ago, if you told me that Triple H would be taken out by Sheamus for over eight months, as well as filming a WWE Studios movie, I would just laugh at you.
My point is, a lot has changed in the WWE since one year ago. Emphasis on the "a lot" bit. In 2009, we were witnessing dull feuds and recycled storylines that had happened years prior. Come in, 2010.
It was no doubt a youthful year for the WWE, as well as a breath of fresh air in terms of new stables, superstars and gimmicks. Speaking of Superstars, in this slideshow, I will be ranking the top Breakout Superstars of the passing 2010.
Breakout can mean anything, including the impact that those superstars made in the WWE, the gold they've worn over the year, the quality of matches they've put on and the skills they've developed and/or improved on.
So, without saying "further adieu," let's list the breakout stars of the WWE in the year of 2010!

There's been no official back-and-forth in terms of dialogue or a negotiation and the reality is that the Bruins don't have the tag room or the cap space to close this deal in-season.

Normal vibration frequencies of the vocal ligament115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1698832View Description Hide Description
The vocal ligament is the tension-bearing element in the vocal folds at high pitches. It has traditionally been treated as a vibrating string, with only length and longitudinal stress governing its normal mode frequencies. Results of this investigation show that, when bending stiffness and variable cross section are included, the lowest normal mode frequency can more than double, depending on the strain of the ligament. This suggests that much higher phonation frequencies may be achievable than heretofore thought for a given vocal fold length (e.g., nearly 1000 Hz at 50% elongation over cadaveric resting length). It also brings back into the discussion the concept of "damping," an old misnomer for a reduction of the effective length of vibration of the vocal folds by relatively stiff boundary segments known as macula flavae. A formula is given for correcting the ideal string equation for the lowest mode frequency to include bending stiffness and macula flavae effects.
Nonlinear dynamic analysis of voices before and after surgical excision of vocal polyps115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1699392View Description Hide Description
Phase space reconstruction, correlation dimension, and second-order entropy, methods from nonlinear dynamics, are used to analyze sustained vowels generated by patients before and after surgical excision of vocal polyps. Two conventional acoustic perturbation parameters, jitter and shimmer, are also employed to analyze voices before and after surgery. Presurgical and postsurgical analyses of jitter, shimmer, correlation dimension, and second-order entropy are statistically compared. Correlation dimension and second-order entropy show a statistically significant decrease after surgery, indicating reduced complexity and higher predictability of postsurgical voice dynamics. There is not a significant postsurgical difference in shimmer, although jitter shows a significant postsurgical decrease. The results suggest that jitter and shimmer should be applied to analyze disordered voices with caution; however, nonlinear dynamic methods may be useful for analyzing abnormal vocal function and quantitatively evaluating the effects of surgical excision of vocal polyps.

Culture Shock

Me Promise to Read David Sedaris One Day
Confession: I've never read a David Sedaris book. But a lot of people love the guy, and so the good folks down at The Cell Theatre (700 First Street NW) are putting on The Santaland Diaries, based on the writings of Sedaris. The play documents the wacky, true adventures of Crumpet the Elf, the character Sedaris played while working at a Christmas display inside Macy's, apparently a menial job he held before becoming a pre-eminent humor writer. Sometimes I'm glad I was just an alcoholic before becoming a professional writer. The production runs Dec. 2 through 19, Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m.; Sunday shows at 2 and 8 p.m. Tickets are $20, $15 for students and seniors. The 2 p.m. show on Dec. 5 is pay-what-you-wish.

Outstanding 4.7 /5 from 22 reviews
The location was ideal for exploring Vancouver. Wonderful accommodations - private, relaxing.
What a treasure to find this rental! Any of the well-equipped suites in the manor would be lovely choices. The apartments are clean, comfortable and have everything you need. Service is friendly and the neighborhood is very walkable. I r commend this for business or pleasure.
Alma Beach Suites was located conveniently next to bus stops, markets, and great restaurants. The room was charming and I love that the kitchen was available for cooking. There were snacks, juice, and freshly baked bread on the house! I wish there was some sort of concierge service or someone to talk to when I needed help around the city. It would have been helpful if we had cleaning service more than once in seven days. We would have liked more towels during our stay. I also wish there was air conditioning. (It was hot!)
Overall,very pleased with this choice. Everything was clean, comfortable, and met our needs well. Nice neighborhood within walking distance to parks which had gorgeous views of the bay and downtown Vancouver. Also it was just around the corner to shops and restaurants. It was like having your own little apartment away from home.
Our stay was fantastic. The room was so nice and we really enjoyed the convenience of the kitchen.Comfy bed, cozy fireplace and everything was very clean. Close to buses and the ocean. Loved the neighbourhood and had a great time exploring the shops and restaurants nearby. The welcome basket with bread, cookies etc was such a sweet touch. I will definitely be staying here again next time I'm in Vancouver!

I have contacted WiiKey (because mine is legit) and they have said nothing back.
You have to "cut legs" which means that you cant quicksolder the Wiikey on it. The only way to solder it is by using thin cables.
feel free to add me to your Wii, but don't forget to PM mehow about some rep for good postsThe search function is your friend. Do not ignore your friends. They get cancer and die and it is your fault.

With the title itself, anybody can deduce that we are indirectly talking about javascript only. So, we can say that Javascipt is the guardian of Jquery. These are client end technologies which are completely different from our server side technologies but now they have blend in.
Lets try an example in Javascript first,we will try to set the background color of document in our page.
For that we will declare a javascript function.
<script type="text/javascript">
function setBackgroundColor(color)
<button onclick="setBackgroundColor('000AAA')">Set Color</button>
Well,try it and you will see the action.
Next,to achieve the similar functionality we will use a Jquery.
$(this).css('background-color', 'red');
Look at the difference,Now let me ask you a question which one is neat? and which one you will prefer? Ofcourse, we all know that jquery is much simple, neat and easy to handle.
There are other frameworks also available so why jquery, because it is very much popular and is growing daily with lot of new tasks being added to the library. One of the major factor is that it is being used by almost all the big companies.
This is an important question as, if you know things like
Then half of the battle is won.
Go and download the latest jquery from jquery.com and add it into the folder where you are developing your application.
There are two version of jquery available:
If you do not want to download, then also there is a way to include jquery in your project. There is a copy of jquery available on Google and Microsoft network, hosted on their CDN. You have to include this code in your page to include the library in your project.
script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js">
We have our library in place, we will start with declaring '$'. This is a shortcut for $(document).ready.
With '$' or $(document).ready , we made sure that no jQuery code is run before the document gets loaded.
To manipulate any element of the page, we would first have to select the element and for that, jquery has provided us with few selectors.
$(*)- selects all elements.
$(p)- selects all paragraph elements.
$(div)- selects all div elements.
I have provided only 3 examples, which can be used to start your learning. There are many varieties available and many others, you will learn through practice.
$(#ID)- selects the element having id mentioned after #.
For ex:
$(#label1)- selects the label having ID as 'label1'.
$(.classname)- selects all elements having css class name mentioned after '.'
for ex:
$(.headercss)- selects all elements with css class name as headercss.
Now we know, how to select the elements, start some operation on them to gain more clarity.
Explanation: It will select button with id 'btn' and on click event of the button, function will be called which will hide all the div elements and show all the elements having css class as 'labelcss'.
There is one click event mentioned in the above example.There are many other user actions which are 'keypress','keyenter','focus' etc. These events are attached to our elements and can be called by any user action. We have covered the basic here so in next article we will dive deep into Jquery.
