The strength of the U.S. division lies in its breadth and diversity. The faculty cover all periods of American history and offer many different emphases and methodological approaches. Students are encouraged to take courses throughout, and even outside of, the department and to explore diverse approaches to their chosen topic. Among the division's particular thematic strengths are Race and Ethnicity, African-American, Women and Gender, the West, and Labor. In addition, the department is one of the few to offer expertise and graduate training in the areas of African-American Intellectual, Native American, and Environmental history.
Graduate students may develop fields that are defined thematically or methodologically (e.g., Asian-American, the West, Cultural) as well as fields that are defined chronologically (Colonial, Nineteenth Century, Twentieth Century). Students are encouraged to study key topics in U.S. history (Ethnicity, Gender, Colonialism) in comparative or transnational frameworks. Beyond the department's core faculty in U.S. history, students also benefit from the involvement of faculty in American Indian Studies, American Ethnic Studies, Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies, and Urban Design and Planning.
The University of Washington maintains an outstanding library for studying American history. It has an excellent book and journal collection, a rapidly expanding network of on-line primary and secondary sources, and an extensive collection of microforms, government documents, and scientific publications. The library's Special Collections division documents the history of the Pacific Northwest and includes among its holdings substantial material on the region's ethnic and minority communities and an impressive photography collection. In addition, the regional repository of the National Archives and Records Administration is located a few minutes from the campus.
Special resources for students studying American history at the University of Washington include the Center for the Study of the Pacific Northwest, which houses The Pacific Northwest Quarterly and promotes research and teaching related to the local region and the American West, and the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies (co-sponsored by the departments of History and Political Science), which hosts speakers and conferences and funds research related to labor. Both Centers offer financial support to graduate students. In addition, the department has several fellowships designated for incoming students in American history.

Jones had named the Bears his leader in recent months but wanted to take a couple visits before making his commitment to Cal.
"When I was at Oregon, there were a lot of great things there," said Jones. "They're kind of in a similar position to Cal where they're losing receivers after this year. I like their spread offense, too, since we run that in my offense.
"But when I had a chance to get home and think about things then go on my official to Cal, I just focused on what got me interested in Cal in the first place and why it's the right place for me."
"Plus, being from California, I really don't think I could take all that rain."
Jones had a busy trip, right from the start.
"I came in Saturday morning since I had a game Friday night," said Jones.
"It was a busy morning. I got a tour of campus when I came in and sat in on some meetings and then saw the March to Victory before the game. That was pretty cool.
"It was an unbelievable game. The comeback was real exciting. It got my adrenaline pumping. I wanted to go down there and play. I could barely sit down that whole game, I was so hyped.
"That Oregon State kicker's real good. I heard he's been doing that since his freshman year after missing four kicks against LSU."
Jones commented that the team stayed strong and is confident that they'll pick up where they left on and finish strong.
After a night of more activities, Jones had a chance to get back to examining the program and having further meetings with the staff.
"Me and Coach Ferrigno and my dad went and sat down this morning and reviewed some film and we talked about how they'd like to use me in their scheme," said Jones.
"Then my dad and I went over to Coach Tedford's office and talked to him for around 45 minutes.
"With so many receivers leaving and with the chance to get a great opportunity at such a good education, it's just a great situation for me and we talked about that.
"Coach Tedford asked me how I was feeling about where I wanted to commit and I told him I knew what I wanted to do.
"He said, 'Oh yeah? What are you thinking?'
"I said, "I'm thinking I want to be a Bear."
"Coach Tedford got a big smile after that and we went out and told Coach Ferrigno. He was real excited, too. I think he didn't think I was going to commit yet. He had a huge smile, too."
Jones is the second commitment in the 2008 class at wide receiver, joining El Camino JC wr Verran Tucker.
The 4 star Jones brings the size and speed (4.5 forty) they've been looking for at receiver. He led his Etiwanda squad to a big upset win this Friday in a 29-26 nailbiter a week after an impressive 151 yard, 2 td game along with an interception on d in close loss to Chino Hills.
Jones had great numbers last year as well, earning all-state underclass honors with 12 tds and 1320 yards on the year.
The Bears beat out Oregon, Arizona State, Nebraska and Oregon State for Jones' commitment.

text: I might be jumping ahead a little BUT! I read that it's best to use 3 deeps in colder climates to make sure the hives make it thru the winter. Reads that the bottom deep will be full of pollen. The middle deep is where the bees will mostly be and the upper deep will be full of honey for hem to live on if everything goes right. I live at about 5200 ft. We get about 2 to 3 ft of snow that stays for about 4 months in a normal winter. Is this overkill or well advised? Thanks

|Brief Summary
|This study is designed to identify the plasma concentrations which are required to achieve adequate sedation, using a Ramsay Sedation Scale. As an alpha 2 agonist, dexmedetomidine can elicit hemodynamic changes, fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate. This study will attempt to determine whether these changes can be predicted by plasma concentrations.
|Detailed Description
|Dexmedetomidine, an alpha2 agonist is currently the standard of care for sedation for diagnostic (MRI, CT and Nuclear Medicine) radiological studies at Boston Children's Hospital. Although it is FDA approved for sedation, its pharmacokinetics in children has not been carefully studied with prospective studies. The plasma concentration of dexmedetomidine necessary to achieve and maintain adequate sedation for motionless conditions for a MRI study has not been determined which is the purpose of this study.

Britain's Cameron ignores EU's Nobel win
LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David Cameron made no comment on the European Union's Nobel Peace Prize win on Friday, a stark contrast to the effusion of other EU leaders and a reflection of Britain's uneasy relationship with Europe.
Cameron is under pressure to take a tough line with Brussels to pacify eurosceptics in his Conservative party who fear it will lose votes at the 2015 election to the increasingly popular UK Independence Party, which wants Britain to quit the EU.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other European leaders were quick to express their pride and sense of honor when the Nobel committee announced its decision, but Cameron remained silent on the subject.
"I don't think we're intending on putting anything out," a spokesman for the prime minister said after repeated requests for comment.
Britain's Foreign Office issued a two-sentence statement several hours after the announcement.
"This award recognizes the EU's historic role in promoting peace and reconciliation in Europe, particularly through its enlargement to Central and Eastern Europe," it said.
By contrast, Merkel said that "the fact that the Nobel Committee has honored this idea is both a spur and an obligation, also for me in a very personal way".
French President Francois Hollande hailed the win as an "immense honor", while Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti spoke of the bloc as an object of admiration for the rest of the world.
Cameron says he wants Britain to remain part of the EU - Britain's biggest trading partner - but has pledged to avoid getting entangled in costly solutions to the euro zone debt crisis and to try to claw back powers from Brussels. Continued...

U.K. Stocks Decline Fourth Day on Ukraine as G4S Retreats
U.K. stocks dropped for a fourth day to a one-month low as Russia hardened its stance on Ukraine and companies including British American Tobacco Plc (BATS) and HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA) traded without the latest dividend rights.
G4S Plc (GFS) tumbled the most since July after saying it is yet to strike a deal with the U.K. authorities in a fraud investigation. A gauge of London-listed commodity producers fell to its lowest level in five weeks. Eight ex-dividend stocks on the FTSE 100 (UKX) Index shaved 19.64 points off the benchmark gauge. Prudential Plc (PRU) rose 2.7 percent after posting full-year profit that exceeded estimates.
The FTSE 100 slipped 64.62 points, or 1 percent, to 6,620.9 at the close of trading in London, its lowest level since Feb. 10. The benchmark gauge has declined 3.6 percent from its 14-year high on Feb. 24 amid investor concern the Russian military intervention in Ukraine will disrupt global business and trade. The broader FTSE All-Share Index also slid 1 percent today, while Ireland's ISEQ Index lost 1.1 percent.
"The situation in Crimea and a few disappointing corporate earnings are weighing on equity markets today," said Ramiro Loureiro, a Lisbon-based market analyst at Banco Comercial Portugues SA's Millennium unit. "Investors will continue to be hesitant as tensions in Crimea escalate and the region prepares to vote this weekend on a possible separation from Ukraine."
Russian Counter
The Russian Foreign Ministry said yesterday that U.S. aid to the acting government in Kiev would violate American law, defining last month's departure of Viktor Yanukovych from the country's presidency as a coup.
Ukraine's interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk meets U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry in Washington today. He will travel to New York tomorrow to address the United Nations Security Council.
Ukraine says Russia has as many as 19,000 Russian troops in the Crimea region. The Crimean parliament has called a referendum on March 16 to decide whether to leave Ukraine and join Russia.
G4S fell 5.3 percent to 232.5 pence, taking its losses this year to 11 percent. The security-services company said it continues talks with the authorities on a probe into its electronic-tagging contract and has made a provision in its books. The U.K. Serious Fraud Office opened a criminal investigation last year on allegations G4S overcharged the government for the tagging of prisoners. The provision boosted 2013 charges to 386 million pounds ($641 million).
Commodity Producers
The FTSE 350 Mining Index fell 0.4 percent. BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP) dropped 1.1 percent to 1,793 pence. Glencore Xstrata Plc retreated 1.2 percent to 309.5 pence, its lowest price in two months.
HSBC, British American Tobacco, and Standard Chartered Plc (STAN) all traded ex-dividend today, contributing the most to the FTSE 100's decline.
Poundland Group Plc, the discount retailer partially owned by U.S. buyout firm Warburg Pincus LLC, surged 23 percent to 370 pence on its London trading debut. Pets at Home Group Plc slipped 2.9 percent to 238 pence on its first day of listing.
Prudential advanced 2.7 percent to 1,398 pence, its highest price since at least 1988, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The U.K.'s biggest insurer said operating profit climbed 17 percent to 2.95 billion pounds last year, exceeding the 2.83 billion-pound median estimate of analysts surveyed by the company. Prudential also increased its final dividend 15 percent to 23.84 pence a share.

Emergency Mass Notification System
Emergency Notification System
Citizen Opt-In Procedures
The Village of Palatine announces its new Emergency Notification System.
Everbridge is the leading global emergency notification system provider used to communicate to thousands of businesses and residents within minutes of an emergency.
The Village of Palatine will be able to alert residents about emergencies such as, but not limited to, missing persons, fires, boil orders, and other emergencies.
The ability to reach residents quickly during an emergency and to warn them or provide guidance is critical. The Everbridge Emergency Mass Notification System ensures that our dispatch center will be able to react accurately and efficiently in a natural disaster or other crisis.
The new system allows us to alert you to an emergency situation in your area. The system currently uses your land line phone numbers, listed and unlisted, from an existing 9-1-1 database. Messages are sent using a grid or map of Palatine. For example, if there is a missing person / child, we plug in the address and or last location they were seen, and based on the situation, use a grid map to determine how far out we send the message.
The emergency messages that are sent out will automatically go to your land line phone number. You cannot opt out of receiving these important messages. You may enter additional ways of contacting you, such as cell phones, business phones, e-mail and text messages.
Please note that other townships or villages may have opted to also use this system to alert residents on items such as, community events, hydrant flushing, road closures, festival information, and other events in their area. The Village of Palatine has opted to notify Palatine Residents in emergency situations only.

On Sunday October 5 2014, a People's Tribunal will examine the violations of community and nature's rights caused by the fossil fuel industry, using Chevron's refinery in Richmond as a case study. Recognizing legal standing for ecosystems is a concept that has been gaining strength over the past decade, in dozens of US communities and in the constitution of Ecuador. The tribunal takes place between 10 am – 2 pm at Laney College's Forum in Oakland. Register NOW.

Actor Jesse Williams spoke all sorts of truth about what's happening in Ferguson this morning on CNN. Jezebel put together some of his most pointed statements:
"We also have to talk about the narrative and making sure that we're starting at the beginning. You'll find that the people doing the oppressing always want to start the narrative at a convenient part, or always want to start the story in the middle. This started with a kid getting shot and killed and left in the street for four hours. I've never seen a white body left in the street for four hours in the sweltering heat. The cop doesn't call in the shooting, the body isn't put in an ambulance, it's shuttled away in some shady unmarked SUV.
There's a lot of bizarre behavior going on and that is the story, that's where we need journalism. That's where we need that element of society to kick into gear and not just keep playing a loop of what the kid may have done in a convenience store. That's unfortunate, if that happened, that's going to be factored in, like it or not. But we need journalism to kick in and start telling the story from the beginning, this is about finding justice for a kid that was shot, an 18-year-old that was shot, period.
This idea that because he stole a handful of cheap cigars, what's that $5? I've lived in white suburbs of this country for a long time, I know plenty of white kids who steal stuff from a convenience store. [There's] this idea that every time a black person does something, they automatically become a thug worthy of death when we don't own drug crimes. We're not the only ones who sell and do drugs all the time. We're not the only ones that steal and talk crazy to cops.
There's a complete double standard and a complete different experience that a certain element of this country has the privilege of being treated like human beings, and the rest of us are not treated like human beings, period. That needs to be discussed, that's the story. That's what gets frustrating for people -- because you don't know five black folks, five black men in particular, that have not been harassed and felt threatened by police officers. You can't throw a rock and find five of them. We're not making this up."

Ill watch this show ONLY for Katee "evil-sexy-genius" Sackhoff!
I can't wait till the cool kids take back Hollywood.
Nobody will watch this whipper-snappier bullcrap. It's all part of this stupid 20 year old blog and podcast nonsense that's keeping genuine talent like me from getting work.
Indeed, I support your principled stand. Karen Gillan however still will come visit us at our own individual homes, right, and still tell us about being the Doctor's companion, won't she, I mean even if we don't watch the show, right?
Say what you want, Hardwick has worked his ass off for several years to get to this point. So tired of people in the industry hating on others who get an ounce of success where it's merited.
On the other end of the spectrum, I'm sure you think Lena Dunham's jettison to stardom has everything to do with her "pure talent."
Kyle Kinane is a funny motherfucker.
Love Chris Hardwick and all that Nerdist represents. deservedly, their star keeps rising. they are true to their passions and bring a lot of joy to those of us who seek this type of fare…keep it up folks. and bring back more of that NPH puppet show! it was far too short a run.

All-PFF Team, Week 10
All-PFF Team, Week 10
With 10 weeks gone, we're at the part of the season where excuses of rust are past and instead we're left with the best players simply proving they're the best players.
Most of the time.
You see for every Drew Brees or Arian Foster who makes this team you've got a Joe Mays or Kendrick Lewis. That's the beauty of our Team of the Week. On any given Sunday you can have the best performance out of all your positional peers.
Enough with the motivational talk, though, let's get on with it.
Quarterback: Drew Brees, NO (+8.6)
It's not easy playing against a divisional rival that knows you inside and out, but Brees made it look so. Two touchdowns and 322 yards as he avoided what pressure the Falcons brought his way. Instrumental in a big win.
Running Back: Arian Foster, HOU (+4.6)
It's not just what Foster brings in the running game that sees him on this team (though 84 yards on 17 carries with one touchdown is a good place to start). Get him the ball in space, as the Texans did on a simple screen pass, and he'll make things happen like forcing two missed tackles and taking it the distance.
Fullback: John Conner, NYJ (+2.7)
Though it was a bad day for every Jet when all was said and done.
Tight End: Anthony Fasano, MIA (+3.7)
Picked up 60 yards in the air and was as impressive with his run blocking. This is the Fasano I remember from 2010.
Wide Receivers: Denarius Moore, OAK (+4.2) and Larry Fitzgerald, ARZ (+3.8)
Moore picked up two big touchdowns and they weren't even his most impressive play of the day. 123 yards of awesome. It's scary to think Fitzgerald is playing well as he is with some of the quarterback play he's been subjected to. A franchise receiver if there ever was one.
Tackles: Donald Penn, TB (+3.4) and Andre Smith, CIN (+4.2)
You want your left tackle to be perfect in pass protection, and that's exactly what Penn was against the Texans (even if his run blocking was just above average). Cincinnati fans saw a career day from Andre Smith, who actually looked like the player they thought they drafted. Imposing in the run game and perfect in pass pro. Needless to say Lamarr Woodley wasn't playing.
Guards: Steve Hutchinson, MIN (+4.8) and Uche Nwaneri, JAX (+4.5)
Both our guards were perfect in pass protection and both excelled in the running game. What more do you want? Hutchinson, who has looked on the decline from the once great player he was, was a particularly pleasant surprise.
Center: Nick Mangold, NYJ (+3.8)
Maybe Mr Mangold has realized that Chris Myers has built such a lead in our center rankings that he needs to step it up himself. That or he's just that good. Either way, he put in a great performance against the Pats.
4-3 Defensive Front
Defensive Ends: Cory Redding, BAL (+4.8) and Lamarr Houston, OAK (+4.1)
Redding was a bit too much to handle for James Carpenter, and when the Seahawks left Marshawn Lynch to block on him that was never going to end well. Houston picked up a sack, hit and six pressures, chiefly on Jeromey Clary. Nice day even if got overshadowed in the aftermath of the Raiders win over the Chargers.
Defensive Tackles: Tommy Kelly, OAK (+4.7) and Ndamukong Suh, DET (+4.4)
Big day from Tommy Kelly as the Raider went to work over whoever the Chargers had at right guard. His best pass rushing display of the year netted him a sack, hit and five pressures. Suh wasn't as destructive in the passing game (a hit and two pressures), but he picked up four defensive stops as the Bears' linemen couldn't get a handle on him.
Linebackers: Kamerion Wimbley, OAK (+10.6), Joe Mays, DEN (+4.8) and Daryl Smith, JAX (+4.3)
As much as Von Miller deserves a spot on this, you simply can't make room for him and Wimbley, and Wimbley was that bit better with his pass rushing (just the four sacks, three hits and seven pressures). Smith is the more conventional linebacker and is having the kind of year where it's irritating that more people don't notice it. Superb against the Colts, will somebody give the man his due? In between them we've got Joe Mays on the back of his usual good work in run defense. He may not be a three-down linebacker every week, but he got the job done against the Chiefs.
3-4 Defensive Front
Defensive Line: Justin Smith, SF (+6.3), Sione Pouha, NYJ (+3.3) and Antonio Smith, HOU (+3.2)
Look at the masses swarm to praise Justin Smith. Note to those that do – you're late to the party; Smith has been playing lights out for the past three years. Antonio Smith (and I flip-flop between him and Brian Cushing) may be the man to have benefited most from the Texans move to a 3-4. He's a handful inside and gave Jeremy Zuttah fits. In the middle, you couldn't want a better anchor than Pouha. He even managed a pressure against the Pats! Needless to say his best work was done in run defense.
Outside Linebackers: Clay Matthews, GB (+5.7) and Antwan Barnes, SD (+3.6)
Every time I watch Barnes play I become more and more dumbfounded it's taken injuries to get him more than just situational playing time. Shining at the moment. Matthews is playing well this year, and not just as a sack specialist. He added two to his tally against the Vikings, and was superb in run defense. His best year yet as a complete player.
Inside Linebackers: Patrick Willis, SF (+3.9) and Kevin Burnett, MIA (+3.1)
If someone tells you Patrick Willis isn't the best inside linebacker in the game you have my permission to call them a liar. In whatever manner you deem acceptable. Another great game for the 49er. He's joined by a rapidly-improving Kevin Burnett who is finally starting to show Miami what he has to offer after a tough start to the year.
Cornerbacks: Charles Tillman, CHI (+4.9) and William Gay, PIT (+3.8)
You have to love what Tillman did on Sunday against Megatron. Thrown at 17 times, he only allowed six catches and managed to grab himself a pick six. Gay picked up an INT and created another one for his teammate as he made life tough for Andy Dalton.
Safeties: Antrel Rolle, NYG (+3.1) and Kendrick Lewis, KC (+2.3)
Credit where it's due; Antrel Rolle may be one of the most overpaid players in the league but he also had a heck of a game against the 49ers. Lewis was a bright spot on a dark day for the Chiefs, honoring his responsibilities to break up two passes.
Devin Hester remains ridiculous with his punt returning … David Akers was 4-for-4 and seems to be enjoying those kickoffs in California … Mike Scifres proved why on his day he's a match for Shane Lechler … Cedric Peerman and Akeem Jordan did a good job chasing down punts and kick offs.

Banana Smoothie Hair Masque
Submitted 06/26/2011 by Curly-Twirly (3a)
Category: Mask
- 1 mashed banana
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
DirectionsCombine all the ingredients in a bowl. Using a wide-toothed comb, apply the mask to your hair from the roots to the ends.Let the mask soak into your hair for about fifteen to thirty minutes. The more damaged your hair is, the longer you want to wait.
Rinse out the mask with cold water, then shampoo and condition your hair as usual.
The Mask every 3 days for the first two weeks and weekly thereafter. During the testing period our volunteers reported to us on a weekly basis
Perfect mask for type 3a curly hair.Pure organic and makes your hair super soft and bouncy.Mix all the ingredients in blender and puree it so as to avoid chunks of banana.Left for around one hour and VOILA!you get soft curly bouncy hair.Gonna use it again
I loved this!! I used baby food banana instead of the mashed banana, worked great! sectioned the hair lathered it on, combed it through. when i finished putting it all over my head i placed a shower cap on my head, then tied my satin scarf around my head(so it wouldn't drip) i left it on for 35 mins.when i rinsed it out my hair felt so de-tangled and easy to comb through, will definitely use again!! hair type 3c
I used a blender to combine all the ingredients. I used coconut oil instead of olive oil. I left it on my hair (covered with a shower cap) for about 45mins. I rinsed it out , but I still had little pieces of banana in my hair. My tip....wash with shampoo REALLY REALLY good. I also used conditioner. The first time I tried to wash my hair I just kinda slathered the shampoo on and didn't really scrub it in much as the second time. So, if you use this recipe wash it good! All the banana was out of my hair when I washed it out properly. This mask made my hair SUPER soft and shiny! I styled my hair as usual and even my boyfriend complimented me on how soft it was. I have less frizz too! y hair type is 3a/3b. This mask worked really well for me and I will do this again next week. Don't be scared of the banana...I know it can be a pain to have banana in your hair...but blend the ingredients and wash REALLY good.
http://www.keratinresearch.com/keratin-treatment-2/inverto-keratin-mask.html The Mask- packed with high quality moisturizing proteins, amino acids, vitamins, essential oils and The Patented Inverto™ Keratin for the ultimate hair transforming experience like never before. Within 30 minutes you will get amazing results. The Mask is designed to immediately repair, re-build damaged dry frizzy hair and bring back that healthy shiny look you were missing. The Mask will soften, moisturize, strengthen, detangle and repair your hair on the very first time. There is nothing like it out there. In a six months trial research we have compared and tested The Mask to other leading masks like: Kerastase™. Our volunteers (18 total ages 19-55) were candidates with damaged hair due to constant coloring, bleaching, blow drying, ironing, prolong exposure to sunlight and chemicals and also some unfortunate girls with bad hair by all means. The Volunteers were instructed to apply The Mask every 3 days for the first two weeks and weekly thereafter. During the testing period our volunteers reported to us on a weekly basis and we were all amazed by the results: All volunteers noticed immediate improvement in their hair condition and it got better and better with following application. We noticed Healthier, Thicker Fuller Stronger and Shinier hair at start. Volunteers with very dull thin hair noticed that their hair was actually rebuilding itself , Not a surprise at all; Inverto-M™ was formulated to do just that. Many noticed that they had less split ends; Frizz was eliminated in most cases. Also all agreed that The Mask had a pleasant fragrance unlike most other masks. Inverto™ (hydrolyzed keratin) is advanced patented micro keratin polypeptides that are the closest to your own hair amino acids structure; therefore it binds to your hair and literally re-building your damaged hair. Simply there is nothing like it out there
I would think the baby food is better than the actually banana considering it felt a lot of leftovers in my hair. My roots, especially, were softer though. But I'd be too scared to try this again.
There are not currently any videos for this recipe.

Facebook Us Pages: Social Media Site Introduces Page For Couples
Facebook is at it again, sneakily changing things without telling us.
And "us" is the key word in this latest development on the behemoth social network.
Starting last Thursday, Facebook began rolling out "us" pages, according to CNN.com. They're pretty much the relationship version of the existing "friendship" pages, curating all the activity you and your sweetie have recorded on FB. That means all your (vomit-inducing) adorable couple selfies and "missing you, honeybuns, haven't seen you in 45 seconds xoxo" posts are together in one place.
And while we are on this topic, we would also like talk about Facebook pages for babies. Some parents are creating Facebook profiles for their new babies or even unborn babies. Why does a 1-year-old need a Facebook profile?
To view your personalized love montage, log into FB and go to facebook.com/us. If you're single -- you don't have one. Deal with it.
Click here to get the new issue of 2 For Couples, and 'like' us on our 2 For Couples Facebook page.
ALSO: Annoying ways people use social media:
Changing your Facebook status is now part of the engagement ritual. However, it's not the way to share the news of your major life decision with close friends and family members. Do you want the people you care about feel as important to you as your random ex-coworker or your third grade classmate? Then make sure they find out about your engagement in a more personal way than those random "friends" will.
I understand how giddy newly-engaged women might feel when sporting some new hardware. But every time I see an album of "The Ring," a profile pic that shows a close-up of just your diamond or an image of you brandishing your bauble in an over-the-top pose, all it says is that you care more about your bling than you do your dearly beloved. One photo of the rock, if you must share, will suffice.
Please, don't be the person who updates his or her Facebook status every 24 hours to, "Only 438 days until I GET MARRIED" -- and then proceeds to continue in a similar fashion for the next 437 days. The same goes for marking the hours until pre-wedding events like showers or bachelor/bachelorette parties and announcing minor marriage milestones post-wedding. Getting through your first month of marriage is not an accomplishment. Update me about how you're doing in a year.
Your registry information belongs in one place and one place only: on your wedding website. Posting the links on Facebook and Twitter gives the impression that you expect people who weren't invited to your wedding to buy you something. Also, newsflash: taking pictures of your gifts as they pile in and then saying "thank you" to the giver via status update is not a real thank you.
I get it: you're planning your wedding. You're going to taste cakes, pick out chairs and choose your reception song list. You don't need to illustrate all of this with Instagram pictures of dirty forks and empty venue spaces or share a screenshot of your iTunes wedding playlist. Also, if you choose not to invite borderline close friends to your pre-wedding events (like the bachelorette or bridal shower), try not to flaunt their exclusion in your newsfeed: I have a friend who learned she wasn't invited to her law school pal's shower when the friend posted a photo of the invitation, which she'd never received. And, finally: refrain from giving instructions about how to get to the church via status update. Not all of us are going to your wedding -- and Facebook is not your personal message board.
Requiring your guests to "like" a wedding fan page you've created for your Big Day or asking people to RSVP to a Facebook invite (when you've also sent out traditional invites) comes off as pandering for virtual attention. I already sent in my reply card, and I even drew a smiley face on it, so why is an e-tally necessary?
I know this might sound crazy, but try to take a Facebook hiatus on your Big Day. When alerting your social network of your transformation from "Engaged" to "Married" is the first thing you want to do after saying "I do," those of us in your social network think you need to get your priorities straight. Put your iPhone on lockdown, okay?
There is no logical reason to clog Instagram with upload after upload of wedding photos -- especially if they're photos you took of your wedding photos with various filters applied -- or to post all of your wedding photos to Facebook in multiple albums. (Ditto on engagement photos. Seriously, no one wants to see those except maybe your parents.) Yes, you look pretty. Yes, weddings are joyous times. But, do you really need to prove how happy you are by putting every detail of your Big Day on display? Buy a physical wedding album like people did in the olden days and relive your wedding whenever you want to -- without making everyone else do so.
Look, I don't need to know about your couples' massage, mai tais or romantic dinner on the beach via Twitpics and status updates. Enjoy your damn honeymoon!
If you're still using your wedding photo as your profile pictures for months -- or worse, years -- after your wedding day, then, seriously, I'm worried about you. While this isn't as annoying as continual wedding updates, it perpetuates the idea that getting married is the most important life event ever -- and the most significant thing about you. Enjoy your wedding, get excited about your wedding, but don't let your wedding define who you are, during or after the Big Day.

Right. Back in Quito, on route to Peru (flight to Cusco. V expensive. But the same price as the flight to Lima, for some reason. This, will, then, probably be the last Ecuadorian entry. Shame. Unless something really interesting happens before then. Or I feel like doing another one in the next two days. Possibly Monday, when I haven't got time to do anything else before the flight
A moderately interesting bus ride, with the entertainment coming from the Van Damme film being shown, and the driver, who was driving at high speed along winding roads with a large drop at the side. Fun, fun, fun. He was then detained by the police in Ambato, with some comments (I couldn't follow the whole conversation) about not having a licence. Possibly. It was in Spanish, and I missed much of it.
Other than that, I feel compelled to add a bit more detail to the Ba�os blog. Because Ba�os is a fantastic place. And I didn't mention the thermal baths. I was reminded this morning that I was going to write about them when I went for a steam bath at the hostel (I'd been meaning to all week, but put it off until my last morning), and was told that they weren't doing them today - the chap who runs them, and makes sure people don't die in them, wasn't there. Bugger. But I did visit the thermal baths. Which were very pleasant. When not filled with screaming children. Although, I have to say, not as good as the Sz�chenyi Baths, in Budapest. Probably the finest thermal baths in the world. These, however, had splendid views of the mountains surrrounding Ba�os. Which, obviously, wouldn't be available in Hungary. It being a fair distance from the Andes.
Anyway, Quito. I'd forgotten how polluted it is - after three weeks away, it's been making my nose burn. But I'm only here until Monday. And then Peru. Onwards. As it were.

OOTD & LOTD: Halloween Celebration 2013
Bellabox Blogger Event (ft. Cellilux, MeMeMe, NUXE & Lanvin)
Sometime ago, Bellabox had a Blogger Event held at the Parisian patisserie Antoinette.
At the event, Bellabox announced more new brands had partnered with them. They are none other than Cellilux, MeMeMe, NUXE and Lanvin!
LOTD & OOTD: LUNA SEA Concert ~ Hair Colour Adventure ~ Reviews (feat. MUFE, L'Oreal, Goldwell)
This hair dye is made in Thailand. There are no gloves, instructions manual slips, capes, hair conditioner/mask.. nothing.
*Note the exp date is May 2013!!! I only realised it after I used it. =_="
Berina Hair Color Cream Review
L'Oreal Paris EverStrong Deep Replenishing Masque Review
Don't be blaffed by the neon shade here, it only appear super purple because of the lighting... and I'm using the front cam of my Iphone. ^_^" Later in this post, you will get to see more of my LOTD~
OOTD: Rock on!!!
I was debating whether to wear this denim vest or not... Posted this on instagram, twitter & FB and everyone who replied said 'wear it'!
Oh, my purple eyes matches the web/fishnet tights. Thanks to Jerlaine for reminding me to wear PRETTY leggies, and so she kinda reminded me that I have these for a long time but haven't got chance to wear them. Super happy that I can put them on now~ Btw its actually a gift from Na. ^_^
Posted this on my Instagram
LUNA SEA The End of the Dream Asia Tour 2013
Gotta thank these people for bringing cameras and offering to take pics with me otherwise, I won't have any pics of me at the event. hahhax~
Here's me, Xinyi, Kiyora and Kiyora's friend. Credits to xinyi's camera and her bf, Jon.
I'm like a big giant beside them.... (<_<")
And thanks to Kai too for taking pic with me~ Why i look so upset? Cos my hair got centre parting?
I like her tattoo stockings! ♥ Just realised we both wear denim outers. hahax~
And finally inside the concert hall!! I think its fate that my Jrock 'old' friends (not old as in age..) came walking in infront of us. I literally just wave my hands into their face hahhax~
This is the one and only most beautiful picture I took using my iPhone... As can see, I'm at the upper deck. Alot of my friends are at the first level! I'm not a huge HUGE fan of LUNA SEA but I still love them especially Sugizo! ^_^ And I love Ryuichi's vocal~ It makes me tremble~~~
From the upper deck, I can clearly spot less than 10% of the fans are holding their phones/camera up to take pics/videos of Luna Sea when they were performing. When it come to silence moments, there will be more than 30% of the fans holding their phones up. And when they start performing again, all phones are down.
Unlike Kpop concerts (or MAMA which I went to), its like more than 30% of the fans will hold their phones up throughout the concert. I cant even see who is dancing infront of me. All I could see are the artistes through someone else's phone/camera screen. I think Jrock fans truely know how to enjoy a concert, they jump, they shriek, they headbang to every song that Luna Sea plays. I love this kind of crowd... or perhaps, its because we are older? I think most Luna Sea fans are like age 25 and above? lolx~ So we kinda feel tired holding a phone up for too long.. (besides Sebas that is. Lolx~)
After the concert, old friends gathered at Bugis for steamboat x BBQ. No need to say where I am, you can spot me even from another building.
An instagram pic of me and Mimi after the concert~ His pupils sho big!
LOTD with MUFE & Sleek Palettes
Left: MUFE TechniColor palette
Right: Sleek Carribean palette
I headbanged, I sweat, I ate steamboat.. and my hair & face is like this...
Eye makeup featuring the 'Lilac' shade from MUFE TechniColor palette and 'Purple Haze' from Sleek Carribean palette.
I applied Lilac all over my eyelid and then used Purple haze at the crease and outer corner. I need to practice more on shading dark colours as I always have 1 rounded corner and 1 sharp corner. *sigh~*
The MUFE Lilac colour-payoff is really great! When I apply it on my eyes, the colour is exactly how it looks like from the palette. You know when you use light shades, it often appear even lighter than the palette. Or most of the time I think it is until I met MUFE eye shadows. Gota ♥♥♥ them!
Sleek's Purple haze is also pigmented but I find it hard to blend it into MUFE Lilac. I can see obvious lines of the dark purple at my creases. PLUS, I lack the skill in doing such eye makeup properly, so the whole eyelid colour just look kinda uneven. I am sorry to have spoilt all of your eyes for looking at my ugly LOTD... ^__,^"""
To end this post with a CNY mood, I present you red flowers sold by JONES!
One JONES selling CNY decorations not enough, there must be another JONES selling flowers ah?</p>
Swatches: Sleek MakeUp i-Divine 2012 Palette Limited Edition Glory
Hi all, its been 273405720184 months since my last makeup haul post.. I got so much to share with you but I can't seem to find enough time (<- my lousy excuse which I had used Nth time) to blog about the items I bought *pouts* (=3=)...
Anyhoo, here's one of the Sleek palette I purchased quite sometime ago (during September?), I almost forgotten about it as it sat quietly at one corner of my stash waiting for me to open it. Lolx~ I only started to use it last month October on few occasions.
Comic Fiesta 2011 @ KLCC: My Cosplay & Beauty Haul (pic intensive!)
This post is somewhat the continuation of my previous X'mas-New Year post. ^^ (Read HERE for the previous post)
Last year Dec 16-19, I and a few friends went to Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur for a Cosplay event, Comic Fiesta 2011. The CF 2011 was held at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) and we stayed only a walking distance away, which is the Impiana Hotel.
The Petronas Twin Towers taken at night with Iphone. I posted this pic on that day in Instagram.
MNET Asian Music Award (MAMA) SG 2011 ~ OOTD @Instagram ~ Collective Hauls
Though I always been busy, that doesn't stop me from taking pics of my OOTD when I'm going out on my Off days. (My Off days are like, very RARE~) Hmm.. I'm thinking should I rename my blog to like, Monthly Dressup Shots instead of Daily? ahhax~ I seriously do not know why I put Daily. *knocks own head* (>,<")o~
Anyhoo, if you had been following me in Instagram, you probably had seen my OOTD shots as like below: (Clicky to enlarge)
miwitch's Sailor Pluto Super S Cosplay Photoshoot
While everyone is enjoying their Halloween night in gore makeup, ghostly costume and taking scary photos at Orchard, I, was sick & working, and I sat silently infront of my computer photoshopping my cosplay pics.... sigh~ What a quiet Halloween for me this year! ~_~"
2 months ago, I had a Solo photoshoot of my Sailor Pluto cosplay. I'd been thinking for quite sometime after last year Dec's Sailor team battle suit cosplay at AFA X to do a solo shoot because I think I always have badly taken photos and had to go through alot of processing inorder for it to look decent to the public eyes... ^_^" So, a solo photoshoot means I'll have more nice pics to keep as memory! =D
Anyways, this solo photoshoot turned out GREAT! Though I expected more like, taking at the rooftop, doing laying down, kneeing, sleeping poses.
But: 1) the rooftop door is locked because of that corpse in water tank issue. -_-" 2) It was drizzling ~_~""" 3) I was terribly slow in dressing up, only started shooting at around 7pm.
Nevertheless, I still end up with nice photos thanks to my beloved photographer friends, Juliana & Valefor. Not forgetting Jane & her hubby and finally Noshuu (my dear Sailor Jupiter) who lend me her tiara (green gem but I PSed to magenta) cos I forgotten where I put mine! Without all of them, this will not be a successful photoshoot! ~\(^o^)/~
Anyhoos, here are the VISUALS! ^____________^v~
Juliana have quite nice lighting gadgets that can make my flaws disappear! Lolx~
Below is a Sailor Pluto card I made cos I LOVEEEEeee collecting sailor cards like THESE. Perhaps I could use this pic to make my first coscard? ^^

LOTD: KPop Wannabe ~ July - Aug Hauls (Topshop, Sleek, Canmake, La Roche-Posay, Vichy...)
HAPPY (belated) NATIONAL DAY!!! ~*~*~*~*\(^.^)/*~*~*~*~
Finally today, I got to do a LOTD (got some spare time after I return home from my early morning work). The idea came to me when I was taking a photo of my current hair colour. My brown dyed hair got so washed out that my colleagues said I look like a girl with old lady hair. Lolx.. I'mma 白发魔女-White hair demon queen. kekekx~ But I prefer to say myself as a 银发巫女-Silver hair witch girl! Got it? miwitch, so I'm a witch! *lame* =p~
Anyhoo, here's a closeup pic of my LOTD. But of course, I do not own a flawless face. I purposely blurred this pic so it won't scare you. Lolx..
I also bring up the contrast and brightness as it was taken in evening where the sun is almost down, and all my pics appeared rather dark. However, I did not PS my hair colour, it was like this when I took it. ^^ Doesn't it look like as if I'm wearing a whitish-silver wig? hehehx..~ Gosh, seeing this, makes me miss cosplaying so much~ T^T"
Enjoy the rest of the pics! ^.^v~

The lamp head can be flexed up and down, and sideways. I am considering to get another 2 more, 1 for my computer desk, and 1 for photo taking of my stuffs at night. kekex~
*My cat kpo-ing around my lamp.. I switched on the lamp suddenly and he squinted. Then I off it, and I ON it and he squint again! Hahax! FUN! XDDD (animal abuse =p)

|Bratty Behavior: Two Major Players Clash in a Courtroom over Bratz Dolls' Beginnings.
For those of us who collect dolls, they are more often than not sources of joy, pride, and wish fulfillment. In some cases, they cause extreme exasperation (when you miss out on a limited edition, for example) or financial consternation (did I really just spend $300 on a BJD . . . again?). When people play with their dolls, I imagine it's a sense of revisiting happier days of yore—really coming home again emotionally and spiritually. So with all of these good vibrations and happy feelings floating around, why can't Mattel and MGA Entertainment get along? Is it too much to expect them and their company lawyers to play nice?
On January 18, another round in the corporate slugfest has begun. A Santa Ana, California, courtroom was packed as the legal eagles began to wrangle once more over who really owns the rights to the Bratz Dolls, and all of their plastic paraphernalia, tie-in merchandise, franchise offshoots, and products (both past and present).
It's hard to reconcile the notion of a courtroom ringing with slurs of shlockiness, charges of industrial spying, and heated exchanges about "lack of veracity and verisimilitude"—fancy ways of saying lies and truth—with the image of these brazen, bodacious Bratz dolls staring haughtily and imperiously from a toy store's shelf. It seems that if these dolls ever got dragged into a court, it wouldn't be on charges of corporate espionage, let me tell you!
Bratz have been the punch line about being inappropriate and risqué for about a decade now. Recently, a respected ABC newsman, Jake Tapper, blogged how he was scandalized to find his elementary-school daughter had a pair of these plump-lipped femme fatales in her bedroom. It made me chuckle that this war correspondent/White House analyst was blindsided by the tempest in his very own toy box! And to think, these plastic personalities are now being paraded into court, where their origins, their initial sketches, and their very conception are being verified and validated. (For doll historians, the feud over how the Bratz doll began—whose head did it figuratively spring from—is especially entertaining because of Barbie creator Ruth Handler's admission of being "inspired" by a German Bild Lilli doll while on vacation in Switzerland. People scolded Handler for copying the Teutonic tootsie too closely and so obviously.)
The CEO of Mattel, Robert Eckert, and his MGA counterpart, Isaac Larian, are both on hand as the fate of these vixens is decided. The court is going to render a decision that amounts to a multimillion-dollar change in fortune. Some reports have gone on to say this is a billion-dollar Bratz decision, but I don't know if that's just because of the alliteration or if the high-stakes nature is really that high stakes!
As the sides snipe at one another, the jury has to figure out if Bratz creator Carter Bryant, a former Mattel employee, was on the toy giant's clock when he imagined these sultry substitutes. The Mattel lawyers are saying that the idea belongs to them, and Bryant was persuaded to share trade secrets with MGA when he deserted the Barbie-and-Ken corporation. MGA is likening themselves to David in an unfair battle against a mega-industry Goliath.
Susan Estrich, well-known talking head on FOX News, and one of Mattel's corporate lawyers, shot back: "David made his own slingshot. He didn't steal it!"
No matter how the jury decides, things don't look good for the Bratz gals. If Mattel wins, will they allow these Angelina Jolie look-alikes to continue to see the light of day, or will they be rubbed out, confined to the trash heap of forgotten, onetime popular brands? Are they going to be sent to "swim" with the Fisher-Price outcasts—a fate reserved for toys that are no longer desired or desirable? Will they be whimsically whacked?
Or if MGA wins the proceedings, how sullied is their reputation? Even if the accusations against them are proven to be false, can the company pull itself together and rise above the charges of intellectual thievery, bribery, and industrial double-speak?
It's been alleged that many retailers are shying away from the Bratz dolls these days—I never thought I'd type "shy" and "Bratz" in the same sentence. But supposedly, many companies don't want to traffic with these dolls that are causing so many headaches and heartburn for Mattel.
With tens and tens of millions of dollars already spent, and more bills piling up over the next four months (that's the estimate of this trial length), how much of a Bratz market share will be left for either company to capitalize upon?
All of this holds a particular interest for me because my daughter, Jane, who is six years old, just got the figure-skating/Olympic Ice Princess Bratz for Christmas. Jane is a real rough-and-tumble little girl who says she wants to grow up to be a "circus balancer, bug killer, spy, FBI agent, scientist, and minivan designer." With so many careers before her, she uses her toys to enact her future occupations. The Bratz doll really captured her imagination because it spins and twirls, plus it came with a life-size gold medal. Jane played with this doll for hours—an accomplishment for her limited attention span—and she had the doll pretending to be a "circus balancer" because of her flexible, poseable limbs.
Now, with the court case in the news once more, and the accusations getting very specific and boiling over into charges of corporate espionage on both parties' ends, Jane can add "spy" to her Bratz doll's résumé. She doesn't even need to imagine that; it's being spelled out in black-and-white in court dockets even as she makes believe.
Where do you stand on this Barbie vs. Bratz battle? If you were put on the witness stand, on whose side would you testify? Or is there a way to bring the swift wisdom of Solomon to this solid case of he said/she said/they both said? Inquiring minds want to know!
PHOTO CAPTIONSBarbie is one of Mattel's most famous and recognizable properties. In her "Legally Blonde" vestments, she shows off what a formidable and popular opponent she can be. Will she be the victor in her toe-to-toe matchup against the Bratz lineup? [Top]
One of the strongly contested points of the Barbie vs. Bratz briefs is the origin of the Bratz doll. Who conceived it? When was it created? Did it belong to Mattel by virtue of their employment of Bratz designer Carter Bryant? These same allegations swirled around the birth of Barbie back in 1959, when industry watchers said she bore too strong a resemblance to the German doll Bild Lilli, a gag gift for men of the "Mad Men" era. [Middle]
The Bratz collectors will be spinning around in circles over the next few months, wondering if their preferred playthings will continue to exist in the near future. Currently, the fate of MGA and the Bratz franchise is skating on thin ice. [Bottom]

This isn't really about Mattel wanting ownership of the Bratz line. This is Mattel trying to take out their competition. Then they will be back on top again and have no serious competition to worry about. Not to long again they were losing out to Bratz. Now they have a chance to take them down. I hope MGA wins. Mattel needs some competition. I like both dolls, but fair is fair. I don't even thing Mattel should be paid off. The dolls look nothing like Barbie, and designing the Bratz dolls was a side job. I could understand if Bratz looked like Barbie, but since they don't, they should just leave it. Mattel is greedy and trying to cheat by taking out their competition.
I think they should split the profits so far, and Mattel should let MGA keep on making the dolls. Maybe they can take some money from future earnings. No need to destroy a whole company out of jealousy or anger? Mattel has so many big sellers already: Barbie, American Girls, Monster High. Let some other companies produce dolls, and accept some sort of payback as an early investor. why cant this be decided by a mediator? why is this in court?

text: This is a problem that I've had for two summers. It only does this in the summer for some reason. When I'm either driving very slowly or stopped sometimes I cannot turn my steering wheel. The pump seems to make the same sound that the steering pump makes when you have the wheel turned too far one way when I am turning it just slightly off top dead center. I'm still capable of steering it, but it feels manual, instead of assisted. I've checked to see if the fluids were low, and the color. I just don't know what's going on. Also, I've brought it in to place that I have my service agreement with and they could not replicate the problem. Any help is appreciated

[update: source includedI have included the source. The source code works with the asp.net developer webserver instead of IIS. That will make it easier for you to run the sample!]
The autocomplete box is a control that will popup a combobox based on what the user is typing. You see a lot of these on the web, and for good reason: they really help make your enduser more productive! In this post I will walk you through building a (WCF) webservice and connecting it up to the box. As you will see, it's really easy.
If you are unable to visualize it, this picture from our codeplex pages demonstrates a simple example:
We start of by creating a new project and choosing to create a new asp.net project for us. It will hold our webservice. Let's add one by choosing the 'Silverlight enabled WCF Service' template that should be when you add a new item.
[sample uses asp.net web server]
Setting everything up correctly: You will need to install IIS and most of the (non-default) settings. Visual studio will complain if you are not setup correctly and tell you which features it lacks. What bites many people that install IIS after they install .Net is that WCF isn't registered correctly. You can do so by issuing the 'ServiceModelReg /r' command. Find it here: %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\ Do run visual studio as an administrator. You will get an error saying that the client can not be found, if you don't. Lastly: you will not need any crossdomain xml definitions because you are running from the asp.net server. Do not forget to add one, if you are publishing your project though!!
So, add a service called 'NamesService.svc'. After you have made a list of your friends, return them in a similar fashion as I do:
(Actually, after watching the PDC keynotes, don't you really want to use livemesh to do this kinds of stuff?? Or could we get this from Bluehoo? )
In your silverlight application, add a service reference. Because you are working from one big happy solution, you will be able to press the discover button and get your service. Add it and give it a nice name.
This will add a proxy to your Silverlight client.
Let's just quickly see if we can get our service to work! Add these lines of code in your page.xaml.cs file and run.
This should print out the number 7 in your output.
We are first setting up a callback that will be called when the webservice returns with information. The args.Result property is a strongly typed property which holds your result. We kick of the call to the webservice with our proxy.GetFriendsAsync() call.
It is time to add the autocomplete textbox in the mix.
Add a reference to the silverlight toolkit to your project, and (do) use the 'controls' prefix as the xmlns namespace. Then, just add it to the page xaml.
I have added the box and have added an eventhandler to the Populating event. This will allow me intercept and call our webservice. Dropping back to code, we'll hook everything up:
On line 33, I'm cancelling the population. Populating should really be done synchronously and fast. Since we can't do it fast, we will be doing the populating ourselves. On line 50, we make the call to our webservice. When it is finished, it will execute the anonymous delegate on lines 39 to 46. Our args.Result is a string[] with friends from the server. I will combine that with a list of friends we might keep in a different source.
The result:
Check out the LiveSearch scenario sample that comes with the toolkit. It connects to livesearch and fetches search suggestions on the fly.

Social Author Bio WordPress plugin – FAQ
About | Screenshots | FAQ | Video | License | Versions | Download | Donate
Please use the contact form to ask a question not listed here and I will try to keep this section updated with your questions.
I have a multi-author blog entry, both of them have user profiles. I have tried the [social-bio id=xxx], but it will only show one author, is there a way that i can add social bios for two or more authors?
Yes, first make sure shortcode is enabled in the general section of the Social Author Bio Admin menu.
After that just add one shortcode per author something like this:
[social-bio id=1]
[social-bio id=2]
That would show a bio box for user with ID 1 and another for user with ID 2. You can display as many as you want.
How can I add the Social Author Bio box directly into my theme?
Add code like below to your theme template files:
[?php echo do_shortcode('[social-bio]'); ?]
(Replace the []'s with normal html greater/less than signs)
Can I get get just the Social Author Icons into my Plugin / Theme?
Yes, since v2.1 you can use the following code to retrieve the Social Icons (Images with links)
$icons = apply_filters('social_author_icons', $ID);
where $ID is the ID of the user whos Social Icons you want to display

Did Mariah Carey Lip Sync At The BET Awards?
Look at her in silver, celebrating herself, with sequins and rhinestones, making sex eyes and breathing with her mouth open, being all extra with her (fake?) vocals last night at the BET Awards.
You know, people are criticizing my Mimi today for her sh-tty lip-synch but they don't understand. They don't understand how much work it is just to not fall over. And to not pass out from being in such a tight dress. And to angle herself so that only her good side is showing.

A gunman opened fire inside a high school in the US state of Ohio this morning, wounding five students, one of whom later died, authorities said. A suspect believed to be a student was arrested a short distance away.
The suspect was taken into custody near his car about one kilometer from the suburban Cleveland school, said FBI agent Vicki Anderson.
Students screamed and ran in panic through the halls when gunfire broke out just after classes had begun at the 1100-student Chardon High School.
Heather Ziska, 17, said she was in the cafeteria when she and other students heard popping noises in the hall. She said she saw a boy she recognized as a fellow student come into the cafeteria and start shooting.
She said she and several others immediately ran outside, while other friends ran into another nearby school and others locked themselves in a teachers' lounge.
"Everybody just started running," said 17-year-old Megan Hennessy, who was in class when she heard loud noises. "Everyone was running and screaming down the hallway."
Television news footage showed anxious parents escorting children away from a school building, and ambulances could be seen outside.
Five students were taken to local hospitals, spokeswomen said.
One student later died, Police Chief Timothy McKenna said at a news conference. He hasn't been charged, and his name isn't being released because he is a juvenile.
Chardon, a city of about 5,100 people, is about 30 miles (50 kilometers) east of Cleveland.

Holla Pointe lets 'er rip clean out of the socket
Roots electric harmonica-guitar duo goes extreme
Dave Good 7 p.m., May 24
After splitting a four game series with the New York Mets and then dropping the first game of a three game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Padres needed a win on Tuesday to have a chance at taking the second series of the home stand. They didn't get it, as the game went sideways in the seventh inning and the Pirates routed the Padres 8-1.
The win put the National League Central division leading Pirates a full two games ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals while the Padres fell back into the cellar in the National League West, 17 1/2 games in back of the division leading Los Angeles Dodgers.
Tyson Ross has been fantastic as of late, but on Tuesday he had trouble with his control. "The fastball," Ross said when asked if it was a specific pitch he was having trouble locating. "I wasn't able to execute it the way I usually do and they're a good hitting team."
Ross gave up two runs in the first inning, on a solo home run by Neil Walker and then a throwing error by Jedd Gyorko on a routine ground ball allowed another run to score when Russell Martin doubled in that runner. The Pirates were up 2-0 before the Padres even got to bat.
The Pirates added a run in the third inning, when Walker got hit by a pitch, and then Pedro Alvarez tripled. It was the first of three triples the Pirates would hit in the game.
Gyorko made up for his error in the bottom of the fourth inning by tagging a fastball from Pirates starter A.J. Burnett over the left field wall, and the 3-1 score held the game close enough to give the Padres hope. But in the seventh inning, all hope was lost.
After a single and a walk and then a sacrifice bunt to put Pirates on second and third with one out, Dale Thayer replaced Ross. Walker then hit a ground ball to Gyorko, who threw out the runner coming home, but Andrew McCutcheon tripled home two runs and the Pirates took a 5-1 lead.
Colt Hynes replaced Thayer, walked back-to-back batters to load the bases, and pinch-hitter Josh Harrison unloaded them with another triple. Pittsburgh took a commanding 8-1 lead and that was that.
While Tyson Ross got into trouble early, he did straighten out and get into the seventh inning, something that manager Buddy Black liked to see. "He hung in there through seven innings," Black said postgame. "Burnett outpitched him, but Tyson hung in there and kept us in the game."
"The expectation level of Tyson may be a little bit unfair early on here. Not his best command of the fastball, not his best slider, but he ended up getting us into the seventh inning," Black continued. "From there it sort of unraveled, but I like the way he competed."
For Gyorko, it was his 14th home run on the season, and has been showing good power. "We've seen that out of Jedd," Buddy acknowledged. "When he connects, there's some slugging percentage in there, whether it's a double or a homer. That was good to see."
The rest of the team will need to wake up offensively if the Padres are going to compete the rest of the season, even simply begin playing the role of spoiler to teams that have a shot at making the playoffs.
On the injury front, Buddy is encouraged by Kyle Blanks and sees a rehab stint in the minors coming soon. Kyle is taking batting practice, throwing, and running, and reports that the foot feels good. For Carlos Quentin, the news doesn't sound so promising. Carlos is on his third injection on the knee and in the midst of another 7-10 days waiting period until a determination will be made of where to go from there. Cameron Maybin is completely shut down, and likely won't get an opportunity to get back into a rehab position in AAA, as their regular season is over in very early September.
On Wednesday, the Padres and Pirates will play the third and final game of the series. First pitch is slated for 3:40 PM PDST, and features Gerrit Cole (6-5, 3.88) for Pittsburgh going up against Padres starter Ian Kennedy (1-1, 4.42 for San Diego). Catch the game on radio 1090 AM or see it televised by Fox Sports San Diego. Or take an early day from work and come out to Petco Park, there will be plenty of seats for this one.
Below, manager Buddy Black talks about the performance of Tyson Ross on Tuesday. It's heavily edited, but this is a normal post-game presser if you're interested in that sort of thing.
