Topic: Working with migrations and associations
Dear RailsForum,
I've been tasked with putting together a new webapp from scratch: this seemed like a golden opportunity to pick up Rails, something I've been meaning to do for some time.
I'm quite comfortable with SQL, but I'd rather avoid it in this project --- it seems very un-Rails to write it raw.
Briefly, a target has a type, and a target may belong to any number of groups. target belongs_to type, type has_many targets, target belongs_to_many groups through membership, group has_many targets through membership. Right?
I'm at a loss as far as figuring out two things. One, how to put the above into pure migrations. Two, the proper Rails method to handle displaying the above. Ideally, I want users to add a target, have the option to associate with a type or create a new type, and then finally be able to add the target to any number of existing groups or create a new group.
The tutorials I've seen rely on, for lack of a better term, smoke and mirrors --- applications that are simple enough (single table, usually) to be handled by a default-arguments scaffold. Whenever I see association examples, I see copious amounts of SQL...which just feels wrong.
Am I simply looking in the wrong place?

Žižek, Slavoj
Slavoj Žižek 1949-
(Also transliterated as Slavoj Zizek) Slovenian critic, essayist, and editor.
The following entry presents an overview of Žižek's career through 2003.
Žižek has distinguished himself as one of the world's leading cultural theorists. He has earned international notoriety for his numerous volumes of cultural analysis that apply psychoanalytic theory and modern philosophy to American popular culture from a post-Marxist Leftist perspective. Žižek's work has been particularly noted for its explications of the psychoanalytic theories of Jacques Lacan and their significance to cultural and political theory. Žižek's writing style, though challenging and rife with difficult theoretical concepts, has been characterized as both quirky and entertaining, informed by the author's rigorous theoretical analysis and a commitment to political relevance. His sense of absurdity in formulating theoretical approaches to cultural criticism is evidenced in the titles of some of his best known works, such as Enjoy Your Symptom!: Jacques Lacan in Hollywood and Out (1992), Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Lacan (But Were Afraid to Ask Hitchcock) (1992), and The Ticklish Subject: The Absent Centre of Political Ontology (1999). However, despite his often amusing digressions into popular culture, Žižek has displayed a firm concern with the social and political realities of life at the turn of the millennium in such works as NATO as the Left Hand of God (2000), Did Somebody Say Totalitarianism?: Five Interventions in the Mis(use) of a Notion (2001), and Welcome to the Desert of the Real: Five Essays on September 11 and Related Dates (2002).
Biographical Information
Žižek was born on March 21, 1949, in Ljubljana, the capital of communist Yugoslavia. He received a B.A. in philosophy and sociology from the University of Ljubljana in 1971 and an M.A. degree in 1975. Unable to obtain a teaching post due to political reasons, Žižek worked as a translator of German philosophy. In 1977 he took a position at the Central Committee of the League of Slovene Communists, writing political propaganda speeches. During this period, he also continued to write philosophy papers and attend academic conferences. In 1979 Žižek acquired a position as a researcher at the Institute for Sociology at the University of Ljubljana. Žižek traveled to Paris in 1981, where he studied psychoanalysis at the Universite de Paris, and earned a Ph.D. in 1985. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Republic of Slovenia emerged from regions of the former Yugoslavia as a democratic nation with Ljubljana as its capital. In 1990 Žižek ran as a pro-reform candidate for the newly formed four-member collective presidency of Slovenia but was not elected. While maintaining his post at the Institute for Sociology at the University of Ljubljana, which provides him with freedom to write and publish without additional responsibilities, Žižek spends a portion of each year as a guest professor at various colleges and universities throughout the United States. He has taught at several universities around the world, including the State University of New York at Buffalo, the University of Minnesota, Tulane, Columbia University, Princeton University, the New School for Social Research, and the University of Michigan.
Major Works
Žižek's writings all concern some aspect of the interface between psychoanalytic theory and political philosophy, as applied to various aspects of culture and politics in the late twentieth century and at the turn of the millennium. His interest in popular culture extends to the exploration of the relationship between psychoanalytic theories of pleasure and Marxist theories of ideology. Lacanian psychoanalytic theory remains the foundation of all Žižek's concepts, and many of his publications attempt to both explain and grapple with the significance of Lacanian theory to post-Marxist cultural theory. The Sublime Object of Ideology (1989) provides an introduction to Lacanian theory and includes discussion of concepts from Freudian psychoanalytic theory, the modern philosophy of Jürgen Habermas, the political philosophy of Karl Marx, and the poststructuralist theories of Jacques Derrida. Looking Awry: An Introduction to Jacques Lacan through Popular Culture (1991) presents the reader with the basic theoretical concepts of Lacan via discussion of such popular culture texts as Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories and the novels of Stephen King. Enjoy Your Symptom! places the theories of Lacan, Freud, Marx, Socrates, Descartes, Kant, Hegel, and Kierkegaard within a dialogue of the films of such auteur directors such as Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, Roberto Rossellini, and David Lynch. Žižek served as the editor of Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Lacan (But Were Afraid to Ask Hitchcock), a collection of essays drawn primarily from the academic film journal Cahiers du Cinema. The various authors included in this volume discuss Lacanian theory as applied to a number of Hitchcock films, including Suspicion, Rear Window, and The Wrong Man, among others. The Plague of Fantasies (1997) provides theoretical discussion of the relationship between fantasy and ideology, as manifested in popular culture in the age of cyber-technology. The work evaluates the concept of fetishism, in both Freudian and Marxian terms, to analyze such cultural phenomena as cybersex and toilet design. The Ticklish Subject probes issues of subjectivity in terms of three different theoretical frameworks—German Idealism, post-Althusserian political philosophy, and the poststructuralist gender theory put forth by Judith Butler. Several of Žižek's later works address more direct questions of political action in the context of contemporary culture and ideology within a postcolonial, post-industrial global economy. Did Somebody Say Totalitarianism? examines the cultural and ideological use of the concept of totalitarianism along five different lines of development. Žižek asserts that the very term "totalitarianism" has been used as a "stopgap" of liberal-democratic thinking that ultimately limits and contains the possibility of subversive political ideologies by labeling them as "totalitarian." Welcome to the Desert of the Real provides commentary on the cultural and ideological implications of the terrorist attacks on the United States that took place on September 11, 2001, while Iraq: The Borrowed Kettle (2004) focuses on the continuing American war on terror and occupation of Iraq.
Critical Reception
Žižek has been widely acknowledged as a leading scholar of leftist cultural criticism and one of the greatest modern proponents of Lacanian theory. Many critics have regarded him as a brilliant academic mind on the cutting edge of cultural theory. Lois McNay has asserted that Žižek is "one of the most innovative and exciting contemporary thinkers of the Left." Clayton Crockett has likewise described him as "one of the most creative and original thinkers on the contemporary scene." Many reviewers have acknowledged Žižek's ability to formulate broad-ranging but incisive theoretical analyses of everyday life in the contemporary world. However, some feminist cultural theorists have taken issue with Žižek's works of criticism. For example, Žižek has maintained a friendly ongoing public dialogue with gender-theorist Judith Butler, with each party respectfully acknowledging but ardently refuting the others' premises. Butler has argued that Žižek's concept of the individual subject, based as it is on psychoanalytic theory, is ahistorical, while Žižek argues that Butler's metanarrative of the gendered subject is itself ahistorical. Some reviewers have also questioned the value of Žižek's prolific output—publishing as many as two or three books a year. Certain critics, such as Alex Callinicos, have countered this assertion. Callinicos has noted: "[p]erhaps it is a mistake to think of these as separate books rather than chapters in a single vast and continuing philosophical roman fleuve in which Žižek overwhelms his readers with jokes, arguments, film criticism and political polemic."

[In the following interview, Žižek discusses his political philosophy in relation to the political situation in the former Yugoslavia.]
Jacques Lacan is responsible for saying, "there is no sexual relation." This should not make lovers too upset, for in fact, Love is what we have to make up for the Relation that is missing. Eros would be the potential of supreme Good, for harmony uniting men and women, women and women, men and men.

To examine the process of critical self-creation illustrated by Slavoj Žižek, I am content to begin where he begins: with the problem of Beginning itself.

Amid the Bustle of Tony Blair's Britain, the tradition of the afternoon tea is one of the last remaining traces of the country's genteel past.

I start from the obviously basic premise that most readers of this review would like to get some information about Cogito and the Unconscious.

For many, Jacques Lacan represents postmodern theory at its height—that is, at its worst. Lacan, so say his detractors, made a career out of obscurantism, and may not even have believed very much of what he said.

How does Slavoj Z̆ĭZ̆ek do it? Since The Sublime Object of Ideology, his first book in English, appeared in 1989, the Slovene cultural theorist and Lacanian analyst has bombarded us with so many erudite, witty and challenging works that even his publishers must have lost count.

[In the following review, Wheatley offers a positive assessment of On Belief, calling the work "an honest and admirable meditation on what belief may mean today."]
Slavoj Zizek takes the question of belief very seriously. On Belief begins with a description of a recent episode of the Larry King Show in which a rabbi, a Catholic priest and a Southern Baptist are discussing ecumenism. The rabbi and the priest agree that, irrespective of creed, a truly good person can rely on divine grace and redemption. The Baptist...

This year the world commemorates the 60th anniversary of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. One hundred and forty seven nations have signed this agreement and/or the subsequent 1967 Protocol that followed, which stand for the basic principle that those fleeing persecution must be provided refuge and protection. As part of our effort to commemorate the 60th anniversary, we invited former refugees who work for the Department of State to share their stories with us. Not knowing what to expect, we were pleasantly surprised when over 20 individuals told us they wanted to tell their deeply moving resettlement stories. You can read three of these stories in the June issue of State Magazine, and many more in a series of DipNote blogs that we will be publishing in the coming weeks as we approach World Refugee Day on June 20. While each story is unique, they convey collectively a deep sense of pride in and deep gratitude toward the United States.
Countries like the United States that welcome refugees enjoy rich sources of new talent, energy, and cultural diversity that invigorate communities, large and small. The United States has resettled over 2.5 million refugees in the past 30 years alone -- more refugees than all other countries combined -- including over 73,000 in 2010. The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) reflects our tradition as a nation of immigrants and refugees as well as our highest values and aspirations " of compassion, generosity and leadership in serving vulnerable populations. Moreover, reliance on the support of millions of Americans is a fundamental component of the resettlement program's success --as it has ultimately been local communities that have helped the program to thrive by opening their hearts, homes, and communities to refugees from around the world.
We hope you find the stories of our colleagues as interesting and moving as have we in the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Assistant Secretary Schwartz,
So just how hard is it for the other 45 some-odd nations and counting to sign on to the convention anyway?
I suppose there's various degrees of catching up with the flow of those in the know about dealing with migrations of peoples, from, and to and the "How the hell did I end up here?" at the whim of conflict.
USAID needs to turn this in to a franchise like Starbucks, ;?) where every nation has its counterpart agency with common rules of engagement to counter those nations among the 45 who are helping to create crisis; that people are going to run from; to seek shelter from tyrany. Or by natural disaster, or man-made exclusion zones; being the culprit.
And if it be small comfort to my fellow Americans; there's at least a place ( some might find it has a few prickly things) that doesn't have tornados or hurricanes, or 25' of snowmaggeddon in winter.
Now the cool thing about my state that State should find interesting, is that in theory the tribes of my state are sovereign, hold land in sacred trust, and form treaty with the US gov.; and while the US gov. has various limits set on immigration for whatever status, including refugees, I don't know that anyone has approached the tribes to see if there's land they might do long-term lease on to help the US gov deal with a flood of internationaly displaced.
It's one way to get to America , so long as all federal laws are met on entry, I don't see why a tribe couldn't sponsor refugees on their land within their own limits, as long as the fed. gov. was feeding, housing and putting them to work planting trees in national forests and tribal lands.) ; as one possible option.
Oh, and guess who gets to pay for it?
Take in as many migrant workers as Ghaddafi has forced out and there's billions in frozen assets that in any settlement resloved in the Hague eventually, those deprived of life and livelyhood, and made homeless should be justly compensated.
If they're going to be living in tents, they might as well be pitched in a place the occupants can walk to work.
Tie this in with State's agricultural initiatives and climate change , folks have enough labor to plant trillions of trees world wide and create a carbon sink in 30 years that will help balance the global atmosphere for hundreds ( if we don't do other stupid stuff to exterminate ourselves in the meantime).
FDR had something right when he got CCC camps going, it wasn't so much that folks needed jobs, it was getting them organized to do big works.
There's no way for me to know if my government should ask itself whether it should do something completely retro, and adapt that public works program for the troubled huddled masses of today, but feel free to run with it,
"Plant trees and terrorists" I always say, one becomes the "green" future, the other becomes fertilizer, or in bin laden's case; fish food works for me too....(chuckle).
And there's millions standing around in camps with nothing to do?
Best regards,

Although Vermont and New Hampshire are the best known (and most crowded) areas for Fall foliage, the same types of vistas can be seen throughout the mountains of New Your State, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Virginia and into North Carolina.
The mountains through these states have the same types of trees but they tyically turn later than the more Northern Vermon, Maine, Massachusettes, and New Hampshire. And because these states don't advertise the colors as much as their Northern bretheren, the roads and inns are MUCH less corwded...adding to the viewing enjoyment!
If you time things right, you can actually make the colors last for almost two months by "following the Fall" South each year!

ASUSTeK Computer Monday unveiled its new SilentCool passive cooling system for graphics cards, which is proclaimed to be significantly more efficient than similar products from other companies, yet, still noiseless, as it does not feature or require any fans.
"In the past, enhanced video capability also comes with louder noise. With ASUS SilentCool Technology, users can now enjoy high-performance graphics card applications without hearing the noisy cooling fan rotation," said Kent Chien, Director of ASUS Graphics Business.
SilentCool cooling solution consists of a number of heatsinks: one main and two additional, connected to the main one using heat-pipes. The main cooling module is large aluminum radiator with copper base, two additional modules are made of copper and their exact placement may be adjusted in order to best fit into different computer cases. Supplementary cooling modules are needed to allow better heat absorption from higher-end graphics processing unit (GPU), which consume 80W or even more.
ASUS SilentCool scheme
At press time it was unclear how much thermal power the SilentCool in its current implementation can absorb and whether it can be used for powerful graphics cards, such as the GeForce 6800- and RADEON X8-series. From design standpoint, SilentCool may fit onto different graphics cards, as its heatpipes are located in such a way that length of the board is not important, however, on high-end GeForce 6800 GT/Ultra and GeForce 7800-series graphics cards memory chips are located under 45? angle to the GPU, which require a special design of a cooler.
ASUS Extreme N6600GT Silencer. Click to enlarge
Currently, SilentCool is available on ASUS Extreme N6600GT Silencer graphics card. More ASUS graphics solutions will implement this exclusive technology in future, the company indicated.

Kahlúa launches Kahlúa Midnight12/12/2012
Kahlúa revitalizes the brand by expanding with Kahlúa Midnight, a 70 proof blend of rum and black coffee liqueur.
Kahlua Midnight makes its debut in bars and retailers nationwide. This creation is a mixture of smooth rum mixed with strong black coffee, intended to be served chilled as a shot.
"Kalhua Midnight is a huge step forward for the brand. We wanted to create a strong product that not only tasted amazing, but has the ability to elevate the social experience of a night out with friends," said Michelle Sanders, Brand Director for Kahlua. "
This is a twist for Kahlua, the number one coffee liqueur in the world. The taste of Kahlua Midnight is smooth, bold and just a tad sweet, setting it apart from the standard coffee liqueurs on the market. With the growing consumer trend toward coffee-flavored products, Kahlua sees an opportunity to promote its own approach with Kahlua Midnight, followed by a fresh orange slice.
Kahlua Midnight is promoted with the campaign, "It's Midnight Somewhere". The launch party, organized on 12/12/2012, has been followed by 400 000 consumers on social media.

Murch: A few questions that probably have no answers
I've been wondering about a few things lately. There probably aren't answers to them right now, though we might find out sooner or later.
* What's going to happen to the former Alpena Buick building now that the business is in its new location on US-23 North?
Even though the building and site are tailor-made for a car dealer, I doubt Alpena can support another dealership. There isn't a full-fledged import dealer in town – the only automakers left not in Alpena – but could our market handle any kind of car dealership? With the four new-car dealers and all the used car lots, until our population reverses its downward trend I seriously doubt it makes sense. And, if someone were going to bring in a new dealership, they likely would want to be in close proximity to the other dealers. Or at the very least, have a new(er) building if they were a new-car dealer.
So back to the building for a moment.
While the building in its current state is designed for a car dealer, a creative entrepreneur with enough capital to redo the interior (yes, an issue all by itself – finding the right person) could probably make a go of it with just about any business. The building, still owned by Jack McCoy who owned the dealership before Gene Skiba purchased it, is in a great location. It's part of the downtown district; has two streets – Washington and Third avenues – that have plenty of traffic driving by; has something most downtown businesses don't have – off-street parking.
I don't know about you, but I'm interested to see what happens with the building.
* Last week the Associated Press had a story about the general lack of snow this winter, which follows a summer where drought gripped most of the country. It caught my eye because I've been concerned about the lake levels and written about those concerns. At my newspaper blog (Pardon me, but …) I had an entry with photos of the bay at Mich-e-ke-wis Park and how much the water has receded.
In the winter there is always a buildup of ice where the water meets the shore. If you go to Mich-e-ke-wis today, you will notice that ice buildup, as minimal as it is, will be about 150 yards or so off shore where the first sand bar used to be. It's nice to have sandy beaches, but this is not what people mean.
The AP story stated, according to climatologists, it would take eight feet of snow or more to bring the soil back to pre-drought conditions in time for spring planting. Unfortunately, we know that's not going to happen.
In addition to drought conditions, lower water levels affect shipping on the Great Lakes, and barge traffic on the Mississippi River could be halted. Drought-like conditions affect crops, but also increase the probability of wildfires.
The question then is: what happens if the winter continues to be light on precipitation? Another year of drought-like conditions and continued lowering of lake levels will have an adverse affect on the regional economy. Just one more thing we just don't need.
* We get all sorts of calls at The News from people who heard this was going on, or this business was coming to town. The fact is in most instances, we haven't heard anything because most are pie-in-the-sky or simply too preposterous to happen.
There is validity to some of the rumors because from time to time businesses do look into the possibility of expanding to the area. Most of the time, I suspect, it's just people's imagination.
But the question is how do these stories germinate from someone wanting something to happen into a full-blown rumor? Does someone convince a friend or three they heard Business X is coming to town and those friends tell other friends, and so on? Does anyone bother to check with the person to find out where they heard it so it can be verified?
It's fun to speculate about what could happen, and it would be great if some of those speculations became reality. But we need to keep it in perspective. It's like Casey Kasem used to say at the end of American Top 40: Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars.
* The signs on Scoops say "See you when the snow melt." So, the snow has melted …

I'm back with another post! This one is kinda fun. I saw a video tag on youtube featuring your top ten makeup mistakes. Believe me, I've made quite a few in my makeup journey. I'm going to share with you mine to either a) get a laugh out of you, lol b) or teach you how to not make the same mistakes. I had fun writing it, it definitely brought back memories, lol.
Click here for more!
These are my top 10 makeup mistakes that I've made in the past and some of them I still struggle with!
1) I used to have an aversion to blush. I thought I only needed to rock bronzer. Looking back, my face was already red in pictures - lol too much bronzer! Blush can really give you a beautiful color.
Back then I would run through my MAC bronze bronzer.
2) In middle school and into early high school I really struggled with matching my foundation. Back then, there weren't as many tan, yellow tones, especially at the drug store which was in my price range. When I went into my teens, I finally discovered Smashbox and MAC and was finally able to start heading in the right direction.
I loved my Smashbox liquid foundation back in the day - it was my first foundation that offered me a good match.
3) I didn't start learning how to put on lashes till I started my youtube page. My biggest problem was figuring out how to correctly place them on my hooded lids and without having them droop. The alcone individual lash curler makes such a difference with droopy lashes - I'm glad I found it.
Preo lash curler from www.alconeco.com - total must have!
5) When I was younger, I didn't realize that you needed to set foundation with powder. I recall way too many embarassing moments when I'd snuggle with my boo and i'd see brown stuff all over his shirt, lol. Now I set my makeup...and I keep the face leaning on my boo's shirts to a minimum, ha!
MAC Select Sheer was the first setting powder I bought.
6) I really started getting into MAC eyeshadows at the end of high school and into college. Back then, I used to hit pan way too quickly. Part of it had to do with that I wasn't using an eyeshadow base! That meant, I had to dig my brush in a lot more to get more powder and then get more color. These days, I use an eyeshadow base and need less product, and the color goes on brighter and lasts longer - it's a win win situation.
8) I still sleep with my makeup on sometimes - bad bad! This is something I still need to work on but i'm better about it now. I try to keep wipes on my bedside table if I can't wash my face.
9) Back in the day, I thought that liner should only go on the top lash line. I thought it looked "dirty" on the lower lashline. What was I thinking? It looks gorgeous on the lower lashline and waterline.
10) Back in the day, I used to only wear eyeshadow and liner - no mascara. I figured that my lashes were short and stick-straight anyways. Now I realize the importance of mascara and a lash curler - it really finishes your look. My lashes are still sucky which is why I often wear fake lashes - but mascara does help to cover up any shadow that makes my lashes dusty and you definitely can see that it adds definition to the eyes.
What are some of your makeup mistakes? I tag all of you! I'd love the know in the comments below!

haha this is such an entertaining post to read! Ive done a lot of those mistakes in the past too! One of my all time terribles in high school was clumping on the load of mascara! My lashes are medium length but very thin, so they would all stick together and it looked like I had one big eyelash lol

My body stopped absorbing vitamin B12 from pill vitamins and I turned up anemic. My doctor suggested I try a sublinqual (under-the-tongue product.) This is the first product of this kind I have tried. I will know soon exactly how well my body absorbs it when I have more blood tests done soon*. But there is no reason to think this won't work just fine and, it has folic acid and other B-vitamins too! It disolves quickly and the taste isn't bad. *Just got blood test results and I am not only no longer anemic, I am on the high-side of B12 now! So its confirmed. It works!

Can't stand the taste
Posted by Reviewer1439427 on Apr 06, 2016
I just received a package and took one. When I opened the bottle the tablets were kinda messy, that orange brown color everywhere. The smell was musty, but of course I thought I'd try one right away. The taste was horrendous! I put it under my tongue and waited it to dissolve, but it didn't (well, it did. Just reaaaaally slowly). At the end I couldn't wait that long, I had to spit it out. The taste was really hard to get off my mouth, that was one of the worst tastes I have ever tasted! Not sure if these have gone bad, the date says 04/18 but the horrible smell and orange/brown color... Are they supposed to just taste and smell like this?!
A very good product!

When on sale at iHerb, I will stock up as it is the best B-Complex supplement I have taken. I often put 2 Tabs into a dish of plain full-fat yogurt, cover - and leave out overnight. Then in the morning mix the dissolved Tabs further, before adding fresh berries, and eating. Instant energy and very good for your gut health! iHerb has best prices. I wish they would also stock more of Superior Source regular B Complex however, as they are usually Sold Out even when offered at their everyday pricing.
Nice product

I was suffering from sensitive teeth and this product helped me very quickly. Also it is easy on the stomach and has only good ingredients. The taste is awful at the start but it gets better with use. Great service from IHerb, fast delivery.

Do you have an unhealthy relationship with exercise? Read to find out.
We�ve all heard about eating disorders and substance addictions. But did you know that hitting the gym too much can also become an addiction issue? According to personal trainer and certified nutritionist Franci Cohen, exercise addiction is an emerging topic of discussion in the medical community. �Although a clinical definition of exercise addiction has not yet been established by the medical community, anyone �obsessed� with exercising for the majority of the day everyday, puts their life on hold in favor of constant exercise, and someone that feels anxious or depressed when unable to exercise, most definitely suffers from exercise addiction," Cohen says. While it may not be an official medical diagnosis yet, exercise addiction is a very real problem that affects approximately 3% of Americans. In fact, researchers Hausenblas and Downs have identified seven key signs of exercise addiction. (As a guideline, they used the substance dependence criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which is published by the American Psychiatric Association and is the official diagnostic system for mental health professionals in the U.S.). Read on to learn about seven hallmark signs of exercise addictions from mental health professionals, and to find out what you should do if you think you might be addicted to exercise. Tolerance: You find yourself having to exercise longer, harder, and more often in order to feel satisfied and accomplished with your work. Exercise is a behavior addiction, meaning that someone is addicted to an action (working out) or a result of that action (such as a post-workout endorphin high) as opposed to a substance like alcohol or drugs. However, your body quickly adapts when you put stress on it, making it harder and harder to achieve the desired feeling. As Cohen points out, �Often, people become addicted to the euphoric feeling that occurs when endorphins are released by the body during high levels of physical activity. This creates a positive feedback loop that is believed to be at the heart of the addiction.� If you won�t stop working out until you achieve that feeling of satisfaction, you�ll find that you have to run longer and longer or lift heavier and heavier weights until you�re ready to quit�and sometimes, that�s more than your body can handle. Withdrawal: You feel crabby, anxious, or restless, have significant trouble sleeping, and experience other negative effects if you don�t exercise. Numerous studies have been done concerning the benefits of regular exercise, including improved mood and energy, weight control, and better sleep. Therefore, it�s natural to feel a little down or fatigued and to not sleep as well if you stop your regular exercise for a period of time. However, if your symptoms progress into anxiety, depression, and insomnia whenever you can�t get to the gym or go for a run, you may be dealing with an exercise addiction. Such seemingly extreme reactions can signal exercise withdrawal, which indicates that your body has become physically dependent on a high level of exercise in order to function normally, much as people can become dependent on alcohol, caffeine, or other substances. Lack of control: You have tried and failed to reduce or stop exercising for a set period of time before. Many people struggle to motivate themselves to stick to a fitness schedule and drive to the gym or go for a run consistently. So working out a lot is a good thing, right? Not necessarily, explains Cohen: �Excessive exercising can cause muscles to become catabolic and break down, rather than build up in a healthy manner. Additionally, the physical stress of the constant cardio can be quite taxing on the heart and lungs.� Because we hear so much about the benefits of exercise and how great it is to work out regularly, it can be hard to come to the realization that exercising too much can be just as bad for you. If you have the opposite problem of most people and can�t stop exercising even when you consciously try to, see if you have any of these other exercise addiction symptoms. �Intention Effects: You consistently exercise for much longer than you intend to, tacking on extra sets and sessions. You�ve probably seen countless �fitspo� pins encouraging you to push through the pain and do �just one more� rep or mile. But like eating potato chips, �just one more� can easily turn into two, then three, then a whole extra set, and you can be adding a second or third daily workout before you know it. However, this �just one more� approach can actually have exactly the opposite result that you want. Cohen names numerous negative effects of over-exercising, including fatigue, loss of emotional vigor, decreased focus and concentration, decreased blood lactate, soreness and stiffness in the joints, adrenal exhaustion, inhibited lactic acid production response, hypothalamic dysfunction, and decreased maximum oxygen uptake. If you find yourself setting goals and consistently exceeding them by a lot � like running for an hour after your taxing hot yoga class�� remember that your body needs to rest in order to perform at its best, and that constantly pushing yourself past your limits won�t do you any favors. �Time: You devote an enormous amount of time to exercise, whether that�s actually working out or preparing for and recovering from it. If your workout schedule looks like it could be split between two Olympic athletes, you�re probably spending too much time exercising. Many of the criteria used to identify a behavioral addiction involve the time spent engaging in the behavior as well as the frequency of engagement, and exercise addiction is no different. Cohen says that exercising several hours a day, exercising any chance you get, and the feeling of never working out quite long enough for the day can all signal a potential exercise addiction. Obviously, if you�re training for a marathon or another endurance event, you will need to train for long periods of time, but if you�re spending hours in the gym without a particular event or goal to look forward to, it�s time to reevaluate that �training� schedule. �Reduction in Other Activities: You often take off time from class or work and skip social events in order to exercise. Making exercise a priority in your life is important, and scheduling it into your day or week like a meeting it a good strategy to keep your workout from being accidentally replaced with other events. However, if you find yourself constantly skipping class, backing out of social engagements, or taking unpaid time off from work into order to go to the gym, then your priorities might need a little reordering. Neuropsychiatrist Dr. Julia Samton confirms that �the biggest red flag would be when exercise starts to interfere with one�s occupational, social and overall functioning. It�s at this point that treatment is recommended.� Your primary care physician can refer you to a specialist or an appropriate in- or out-patient program. Continuance: You keep exercising even though you know it�s making other physical and personal problems worse. If you�ve ever played (or even just watched) any sport, you�re probably familiar with the �walk it off� mentality � when someone is hurt, he or she �walks it off� and gets back in the game as soon as possible. This is all well and good for professional athletes who have personal trainers to examine them the instant they get off the field, but that doesn�t mean you should continue to run or lift right after you pull your hamstring or sprain your wrist. Playing a game of pickup basketball with a slight cold is fine, but if you�re significantly sick or injured (say, running a fever or nursing a twisted ankle) and you still feel compelled to work out, this can be a sign of exercise addiction. While we think of working out as the pursuit of health, exercising to the point of exhaustion or constantly giving up other activities to hit the gym is anything but healthy. Diagnosing an exercise addiction is not foolproof, but if you (or someone you know) exhibit several of these symptoms, take a hard look at just how much of your life you�re devoting to exercise, and check with your doctor if you�re concerned.

New Yorker notices the girlfriend has just arrived outside in a cab, and the tired old scenario of "my place is a mess" plays out with a twist. His place really isn't that much of a mess, in fact it's awesomely large and bright for any city, and the dude himself happens to have the FAB.com Midas touch. Yep. Everything he touches turns into a Fab design item. Girlfriend is impressed. I wonder if the potential new Fab customers will be, when they find that the site itself features the opposite of instant new designer gear gratification, as most items take 4-6 weeks of shipping. Yes. I said weeks. By that time designer-dude will have a new girlfriend. .... And Fab.com might possibly have to get a new ad, as more customers notice how unlike this scenario shopping on Fab.com is...

Hi - Jason Goldberg, CEO of Fab here.
Glad you like our first ad!
I wanted to let you know that we are literally investing millions to improve our ship times. We've been making fast improvements and 75% of items on Fab will ship in 1 to 5 days during the holidays.
I'm sure Jason Goldberg is sincere with his comment, but I must point out that I was told the exact same thing over two months ago when I complained about shipping times. Correcting the shipping times is taking too long.
I received the same email from them, too. The longer it takes to work on the problem, the more customers will walk away.
After watching this commercial I am appalled that not only the advertising agency,but the company itself, thought any man would dance around his apartment decorating with pink alarm clocks & pastel furniture to impress a FEMALE date. As a member of the 18-34 year old heterosexual male demographic, all that commercial did was perfectly illustrate this website would never contain anything I wish to purchase.
I'm more appalled by how dumb the dude's acting is.
Doctor T's comment could be summed up in one word: "Gay"
The demographic for this commercial isn't 18-34 year old heterosexual men. Jeesh... use your brain.
Who said 18-34 year old men were the target here? And it's not the agency's fault the company has shipping issues. I think this ad is really creative and I commend the agency and their creative department. Bravo.
this is simply amazing i like the way you thoroughly wrote this.
Hear hear! I totally agree with commending the ad agency. However the customer service side still needs the attention it deserves ... or there'll be no company to advertise.

The runt of the litter is often believed to be prone to health problems, but that's not always the case. Besides being smaller than the other pups in the litter, runts do not always survive, due to poor health.
According to the Times Herald, the runt is usually the animal who develops in the center of the mother's uterus. He gets the least amount of nourishment compared to the other pups in the litter and is more likely to have a lower birth weight.
The newspaper reports that experts say if a runt survives to six or eight-weeks-old, he is likely to make it to adulthood and grow close to full size.
While it is true that some runts have health problems, pet health experts say choosing a runt for your family pet can prove to be a great decision. Many people gravitate toward these smaller dogs simply because they're cute. But veterinarians say it's a good idea to have any dog - especially a runt - checked out by a doctor before bringing him home to ensure there are no underlying medical problems that could affect his survival, like a heart problem.
Like other dogs, runts should be given their vaccinations according to the schedule your vet recommends.
The good news is that helping a runt thrive really won't take any additional effort from you. Usually, he needs exactly what any other puppy needs - vitamins, food and exercise.
And even though a runt may start out small, experts say pet owners should not try to help him "catch up" by giving him more food. According to Yahoo!, overfeeding a puppy could result in joint and digestive problems.

Terrence Allen Treloar
HARVEY, Mich. – Terrence Allen Treloar, age 52, of 232 Silver Creek Road, Lot 7, Harvey, entered eternal life Monday afternoon, March 18, 2013, at his home, in the loving, comforting care of his family and the caregivers of Lake Superior Hospice.
Born November 27, 1960 in Ishpeming, Terry was raised mostly in Marquette and received his GED from the Marquette Senior High School. For most of his life, he was troubled by a back injury he received as a child, but managed to work at a number of employments, without a word of complaint despite being in almost constant pain. Terry's employments included being a courier for the former First National Bank and Trust Company in Marquette, working in security while residing for a time in California and Texas, and then residing in Sault Ste Marie for 22 years where he helped open the first Gordon Foods and helped clean planes at the Kinross Airport. He was also self-employed as a painter and installer of dry wall and carpeting. He moved back to Marquette when his disability increased. Terry loved the great outdoors and all that nature had to offer. He enjoyed gardening, loved animals, and especially looked forward to the Fall Season and taking rides to look at the fall colors. A talented cook, Terry was fascinated with antiques, loved watching cartoons, and played the guitar and harmonica. Another hobby, although often more through necessity than pleasure, was working on cars and throughout the years he gained a lot of experience. Terry treasured his family and friends and nothing was better than get-togethers around a bonfire, having a few brews with friends.
Terry's survivors include his loving companion of 23 years, and caregiver for the last year, Margie Mattis; his parents, Carl and Rachel Walin of Harvey; mother-in-law, Aurora Mattis of Big Bay; sisters, Bonnie Smith, Michelle (Troy) DeRoche, and Beverly Walin all of Marquette, Annie Williams of Harvey, and Julie (Bob) Pegeneau of Ishpeming; brothers, Steve Treloar, Billy Walin, and Fred (Raya Bouschor) Williams of Marquette, and Carl (Cindy) Walin of Ishpeming; aunt and uncle, Ruth and Steve Hillman and uncle, Donald Rautio of Humboldt; and several nieces and nephews.
Honoring Terry's request, a private celebration of his life will be held. The Swanson-Lundquist Funeral Home is serving the family, where condolences may be expressed online at swansonlundquistfuneralhome.com.
