Thanks for the comment though...I probably should have just explained it in my first post.

It does have an organic feel, and a somewhat calligraphic feel, too. The colors are typical of Asian calligraphy. It makes me want to see some kind of message... Definitely GMV (aren't you glad I'm not white-phobic?).

I've reserved comment on this shirt, too, because there is just so much hating going on for ramy and seki. Not that I think it's totally undeserved, but....
Anyhoo, I have to disagree on the 'idea' being amazing. I mean, maybe it is, but it certainly doesn't register with me the way it's described in the post. Madness, probably. But bi-polar? How does a willowy, busty blonde represent a male's manic side? I won't argue it isn't pretty - it is. But I just don't get it.

I got one as a random, and it did look rather lime-y to me, but a nice spring-y color. Since where I am it's warming up and things are growing, I had fresh green colors on the mind.
I could still submit another version on another shirt though, if more people think similarly. I was considering white originally, as well as heather gray and kelly green...
and then with color scheme changes baby blue, cranberry, red, lemon, navy and asphalt.
Any suggestions yourself?
No idea what works together. Not an artist by any stretch of the imagination. The greens in the linked photos are much more palatable then the sample shirt though I still voted for the other color scheme.
PS- Coincidentally, currently wearing your Chinese lanterns shirt. Love it.

one of the possible effects of mania is an increased libido, and engaging in promiscuous behaviors outside of what would be reasonable or within a person's normal scope of sexuality. to be less Freudian, mania can also involve any kind of euphoric imagination or even hallucination, so a pretty woman isn't that far out of left field.
The butterflies are the part I really don't get, personally.

personally, i think that this shirt deserves to be put on a different color. The shirt color black is almost insulting to the colorful birds! I love this design. and would actually buy it if it was on another shirt color (maybe like orange or cranberry)

Sweet car - needs a paint job though.
This is a discussion on Ex Playmate of Year Critically Wounds Husband with PPK given her by Roman Polanski ! within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; The former 1968 Playboy Magazine Playmate of the Year, Angela Dorian, has been arrested for the attempted murder of her husband of 25 years, after ...
The former 1968 Playboy Magazine Playmate of the Year, Angela Dorian, has been arrested for the attempted murder of her husband of 25 years, after shooting him in the back very close to his heart.
While Dorian's husband, Bruce Rathgeb, initially survived the shooting, bullet fragments remain embedded inside him, right next to his heart. Yesterday, December 13th, it was reported in the media that Rathgeb has taken a decisive turn for the worse, and must now undergo very risky surgery this week in an attempt to try to save his life.
As part of the police investigation, it has now been revealed that the Walther PPK used by Dorian in her assault was originally purchased and owned by the infamous Oscar winning film director Roman Polanski. Polanski gave the pistol to her 41 years ago, after the brutal murder of his wife Sharon Tate shocked the Hollywood community, sending many prominent Hollywood women ( including Dorian ) into a state of fear for their own safety.
Here is a photo of Angela Dorian, shortly after being named Playmate of the Year, together with the car that Hugh Hefner gave her with her title:
And here are some press reports with details of this amazing and bizarre story:
She is known among serious Star Trek fans for her brief appearance at the end of the 1968 episode: Assignment Earth. In that episode, a cat that was a constant companion of actor Robert Lansing changes into human form, with Dorian playing that role.
Her career mainly consisted of bit parts in movies and TV series. However, she did have the lead role in the 1970 movie: "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth"
Is truth not often stranger than fiction? I don't think that anyone could have dreamed up a story this unusual.
There are unconfirmed reports that Dorian's husband had been cheating on her with a younger woman.

Amazing she held onto the gun for that long. I mean, no reason to get rid of it, but it just seems odd for someone like her.
It's an AMX Javelin by AMC.
Sheesh, thanks guys. Now I REALLY feel old.

New stereo in the '95 Fleetwood
Actually the stereo has been in for about a month or so. I've been meaning to post pics. I was originally looking for a way to attach an MP3 player or some other auxiliary device to the factory stereo, to avoid running the 20 feet of wires from the trunk to the dash, but I'm a bit of an audiophile and I hate ghetto setups like the tape deck adapters, so I ended up biting the bullet on this one. This is the Kenwood DPX500BT. I did a lot of research into not only the sound, but also the looks. Nothing irks more more than a gaudy-looking aftermarket stereo. The install went alright for the most part. Running the wires was the easiest part, actually. The mounting kit that came with the stereo didn't quite match the instructions, but I made it work. Only rough part is having to mangle up the plastic shield in the dash behind the original stereo so that the new unit can sit flush with the dash, since it is a bit deeper.
Probably a better option than just attaching the MP3 device, since now I have over 64 GB of music on my usb drive at the ready, plus an actual AUX input, optional satellite radio/pandora/iheartradio and all that other stuff, if I ever feel the need. I'm pretty keen on the bluetooth feature with hands-free calling. Makes me feel like I'm an executive. My favorite feature of the radio is the variable display color control. Most higher-end head units have this, but it's nice to make the illumination match the rest of the car's dashboard. The white is a little too bright, but it's still pretty close.
Check out the dealer-installed car phone. I'll probably never take it out.

Re: New stereo in the '95 Fleetwood
That is a handsome unit and the install looks very clean.
Re: New stereo in the '95 Fleetwood
Nice work. It's a common misconception perpetuated by the Crutchfields of the world that nothing will fit in there. It just takes a little bit of hacking to fit most double-DINs in there - and they look great.

Re: New stereo in the '95 Fleetwood
good looking install and the display matches the dash cluster pretty good. Great work
Re: New stereo in the '95 Fleetwood
Good job, nicely done and it's not a gaudy one and let me appreciate your thoughts on this set up as well . Because anything that looks like a cheap yet knick-knack stuff would ruin the console as well

Re: New stereo in the '95 Fleetwood
It's an easy problem to fix, if you can find a shop that still actually fixes car radios.
If you change it out for something new definately get something like that Kenwood that actually fits properly. Nothing looks worse then an aftermarket radio that is smaller then the hole is or is too flashy.

Wisconsin town proposes "obesity map"
EAU CLAIRE, Wisc. (WQOW) - There are many ways a city could go about encouraging healthy living. One of several ideas the city of Eau Claire, Wisc. is proposing is an "obesity map".
The map would describe possible areas that people are more overweight.
It's a unique step that's never been done in Eau Claire before. The data would be calculated using the body mass index.
"By mapping we can get a sense of what neighborhoods in the community that might need some more attention," says Lieske Giese, with the Eau Claire City-County Health Department.
Those areas could potentially see more walking trails, parks, or even a community garden.
Eau Claire resident, Heather Thom, says, "I think it's a great idea, I've struggled with my weight my whole life and just having more options of things to do, and Eau Claire is a great town to do things outside. I think that's an awesome idea."
Eau Claire resident, Mari Griffith, says, "I think that's really invasive of the city to even try and do something like that, they can look around the city and find parts that don't have parks or trails and just put them in for everybody to enjoy. They don't need to know where the quote on quote, "bigger people" live, in order to improve the city that way."
One concern expressed by some community members is this is an overstep in privacy.
The obesity mapping policy is just one part of the comprehensive health plan. The city says this summer the plan commission will hold a public hearing and the city council will eventually vote for final approval on the plan.
GMC Web Question:
Do you think the obesity map is a good idea? Leave a comment in the section below. Then tune in to Good Morning Colorado Saturday at 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. to hear the discussion.

Hey guys this is my first post here, I was with Southern duck hunter until they started charging, but I have a question that I need some help with.
I currently own a 16' Cajun with a 20 hrs go-devil on it. I have had it since 1999 and it has been one tough rig. The only problem is that the boat gets loaded down fast. So a couple of years ago I started looking for a bigger rig. Well here is the question. I have the chance to buy a one year old 18X44 go-devil boat with the following add-ons. Mud buddy fast grass blind, trolling motor mount, split seats walk thru design, poling platform, gun box, mcClain trailer with 14" tires, and a brand new 29 hrs Kolar Mud buddy long tail motor. The total price out the door is $8,400. What do you guys think? I have never owned a go-devil boat, or a mudbuddy motor, so I am not real sure. I think that I am going to go for it, but would like some input. I hunt alot of saltwater. My house is right on the Estero bay. Will this Mudbuddy motor hold up as good in the salt as my go-devil? Anyway if any of you guys have the time to respond I would really appreciate it.


text: Help please! The car is a 91 Eldorado that I just picked up with 20k on the clock. It hadn't been driven more than 100 miles in the last 2 years...old gas etc. The previous owner had a Caddy dealer do a fuel injector cleanse in Oct of 2010 after that it sat again until last week. It is all original under the hood (including plugs and wires). It runs out very smoothly as we took it for a 400 mile exercise this past weekend. I put a fresh tank of premium along with some sea foam in it and got about 25-26mpg on the highway. But...it just sounds too rough at idle. I thought that it was possibly in the exhaust. The exhaust shop said the cat and muffler were fine (I had them replace the muffler anyway...no real change.) Anyway, I've got a new set of OEM plug wires and have ordered rebuilt bosch injectors...was getting ready to order rotor, cap and coil, then thought that before I went any further, I'd see if the pros thought I was on the right track or not? I did clean the egr tube with no change. Any help would be appreciated! Oh, I get a little bit of a gassy smell (not noticable inside, just when outside of car when running at idle or when first shut it off and exit.) I just want it to run like it looks, as it looks like new in and out from its perfect leather to it original tires. Thanks!

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by MotownPride, Oct 30, 2008.
All of you can kiss my Converse!
BC Kyiv beat me in a pretty close matchup, being even with me in the blocks category, while having 2 steals and 3 assists more. But the thing that disturbs me most ist that his squad shot 0.5 % better than mine from the foul line. Rough start, but that is fantasy... at least I have Ramon Sessions
I really wanted the 9-0, but I guess it just wasn't in the cards. Battle of the titans this week with two 8-1 teams facing each other. I WILL be bringing the pain! I hope my opponent is ready!
motown i'm ready!! if you go by the week 1 stats you'd have me 5-4, so this should be a fun week.
Tyson Chandler sat for two games with a bruise, Fabio takes all of the fantasy stats and minutes from Tay, and none of my scrubs> Brendon Bass, Paul Milsap, Channing Frye or Jerry Stackhouse show up at all....good excuses eh...nope Linwood's team was just better and beat me and oh yeah Frye and Stackhouse were waived
Novice luck.
I got hammered 6-3. I was thinking my team sucks since I only won the dumb categories like turnovers and percentage. Then I looked and saw that Webz would have blown out just about everyone. Plus I think I was outnumbered (although it wouldn't have mattered). So my team probably still sucks, but not as bad as I thought. I Wonder what that Chauncey trade does to my team? LOL, too funny. I finally got a Piston on my team after all these years, only to lose him. Oh well, I still got Sheed and Max...
Well I have Stuckey, so this trade may provide him with more minutes for more fantasy points.
Yeah, our squads are pretty evenly matched. The return of Brad Miller should help me though...
I so got billywhacked.
I'd have beaten him 5-4... but that was last week and I face him this week and things haven't started all to good. Freakin' Hawes turns out to be a very, very nice sleeper. Going to be tough once again!
Looks like I am hammering Debt team pretty good this week 7-2 with a comfortable lead in all of the stats categories.
webz' lead in most categories was comfortable enough to allow him to leave 4 players on the bench and snatch a victory in the TO's as well. This sucks my team relly needs a CHANGE
btw, Chris Bosh and Josh Howard are on the trading block. Scoring and rebounds, where they are contributing the most, are my best categories. I need to get my team better all- around.
I'm waiting for my team to gel
And I'm still standing... Close matchup between me and Wart...jeesh!
no kidding!! we were both in 1st place after a week, and then it came down to a couple free throws / couple steals to determine the 5-4 victory in your favor. you may have won the battle, but the war...
It didn't work anyway, you actually won TO's. I was actually too far behind to catch up in the other categories so all I had to do was maintain my lead in Blocks, Steals and TO's. So I sat all my guys except for Hawes and Nene who haven't had a turnover all week and would get me a block or two. Except... they had 9 TO's between them and brought down my FT% into a tie. It was worth a shot.
nice try, though, I was kinda surprised today's morning (I always catch up the last night when I wake up due to the time difference) to see that we were even. I'm also curious how our trade will affect the stats. I really needed to change something on my squad. Does anyone know if you can trade the same player several times in the same season?

WHAT...is Hevi about it?
Sure it will be higher then some, but also cheaper then others. Noone is claiming it to be the "cheapest" steel shot load out there, just that it is cheaper then Hevi Metal.
I'll compare apples and oranges for a second... BUT, it's no difference when a "hot sauce" company like for example, Mikes Hot Sauce... comes in a "super mild". It's not hot, but made my Mikes Hot Sauce.
Hevi makes em, so labeled Hevi Steel. I thought EMI (manufacturer) is making the stuff and if so, HEVI is just a label stuck on it and IMO, rather misleading considering the original products' properties vs. this new product.
Can't say anything as to how it shoots as I have not had my hands on any. I'm sure I'll try some out when its available.

In a future Brooklyn, a tower is being built-the tallest in the world. All it needs is a carousel on top, spinning over the city below. Conjuring the seductive majesty of Fritz Lang's Metropolis and the gritty social narrative of Walker Evans' photography, acclaimed graphic artist Danijel Zezelj joins forces with Grammy-nominated composer Darcy James Argue and his steampunk-jazz big band Secret Society to tell this story of extravagance and urban ambition. The result is a feast for the senses: Zezelj paints live onstage alongside his own projected animation as Secret Society scores the rise of this dystopian city.

100-year global study finds world's tallest are Dutch, Latvians
By Kate Kelland
LONDON (Reuters) - Dutch men and Latvian women are the planet's tallest people but Iranian men and South Korean women have grown the fastest in the last century, according to the largest ever study of height around the world.
Americans, once among the world's tallest people, have dropped from having men and women at 3rd and 4th in the global height rankings a 100 years earlier, to placing 37th and 42nd respectively in 2014.
The research, led by scientists at Imperial College London and published in the journal eLife, also found some nations have stopped growing over the past 30 to 40 years, despite having spurts at the start of the century studied.
The United States was one of the first wealthy countries to plateau, followed by others including Britain, Finland, and Japan. Meanwhile, people in Spain and Italy and many countries in Latin America and East Asia are still gaining height.
In contrast, some nations in sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa and the Middle East have seen average heights decline over the past three to four decades.
Human height is strongly influenced by nutrition and environmental factors, although genetic factors can also play a role in individuals. Children and teens who are better nourished and live in better environments tend to be taller.
Research suggests a mother's health and nutrition during pregnancy may also play a role in how tall her children grow.
Height also has lifelong consequences. Some studies have found that taller people tend to live longer, get a better education and earn more. But being tall may also increase some health risks, with studies linking height to a higher risk of developing ovarian and prostate cancers. Continued...

Julianne Hough to Launch Footwear Collection with Sole Society

Wilf Makes Clear Commitment To Build Vikings Stadium In Arden Hills
Vikings Owner Zygi Wilf in a letter to Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton Friday emphasized that he is "committed to building a football stadium in Arden Hills -- and only in Arden Hills," according to Frederick Melo of the ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS. Wilf said that the $400M or more that he and the NFL "are willing to dedicate to a $1.1 billion stadium is site-specific." If the state "chooses Minneapolis or another location for the new stadium, the money won't follow." Wilf "isn't considering the 430 acres in Arden Hills only for a 65,000-seat, state-owned stadium and upward of 20,000 parking spots; he wants 170 of those acres for commercial development" (ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS, 11/12). Along with their letter to Dayton, the Wilfs "attached color illustrations of a tailgating scene outside a stadium labeled 'Minnesota Sports Complex,' and an aerial view of the stadium at night with the downtowns of St. Paul and Minneapolis in the distance." The Wilfs Friday said that they were "disappointed that Ramsey County's proposed half-cent sales tax has been dropped" as a funding option. But they added that they are "'encouraged' by recent meetings of legislative leaders about the stadium" (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 11/12).
MAKING UP THE DIFFERENCE: In Minneapolis, Mike Kaszuba noted the team has "pledged at least $407 million toward a new football stadium, but calculations by state officials show that the team would bring roughly $225 million of its own money to the deal and possibly less." The rest "could be made up through a National Football League loan that would be repaid by visiting teams and the sale of personal seat licenses." Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission Chair Ted Mondale said, "They keep their stuff extremely close to the vest." The Vikings have "resisted attempts to break down how much their organizations would bring to a stadium deal" (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 11/13).
Santa Clara To Approve $10M In Pre-Construction At Proposed 49ers Stadium
Santa Clara and the 49ers are "finally ready to start spending serious money toward building a new stadium," according to Mike Rosenberg of the SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS. City leaders tomorrow "expect to approve $10 million in current and future tax funds" that "will support a five-month project to begin in January that will include everything from moving utilities to installing sidewalks -- all the work required to make the site next to Great America set for stadium construction at the start of 2013." Santa Clara Mayor Jamie Matthews said, "Although it's not the big grand opening, it's sort of a soft groundbreaking. This is the first step toward getting that stadium built." The city "has to borrow at least $6 million from the team since it doesn't have enough tax funds to complete the work on its own." It is "still unclear whether the team would charge interest on the loan, or how the city would pay it back, as the two sides are still negotiating a detailed financing plan for the project, which is due out next month." Rosenberg noted beginning work at the site is the "most tangible proof yet that the city and team are close to actually building the stadium, which has seen its share of delays and doubters" (SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, 11/13).

Vector-based, then rasterized,
electronic burger with bacon.
Some people continue their unabashed criticism of my life-style choices.
Yes, that was a meat burger with bacon. But as I also explained before we walked into the burger joint that consuming such a burger configuration was perfectly within the limits of my part-time vegetarianism.
I was not on veggy duty while I chugged it down.
Also, for those interested, recommended link of the day: The Meatrix.
Update: My critics have also pointed out my spelling mistakes in the sphere of meat-related naming actitives.

text: ATLANTA, Feb. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Home Depot®, the world's largest home improvement retailer, and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. (NYSE: MSO) today announced they have extended their agreement to offer Martha Stewart Living branded products in The Home Depot's 2,000-plus stores through March 2016, and will offer an expanded array of products. The pact builds on the successful partnership between The Home Depot - the go-to destination for home-improvement products - and the Martha Stewart brand, which is known for providing consumers with quality, practical design ideas and affordable home-project solutions. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120229/NY61576LOGO ) Since launching in January 2010, the Martha Stewart Living line, available in categories such as interior and project paint, outdoor furniture, kitchen cabinetry, carpeting and bath vanities, has been a strong addition to the offerings at The Home Depot. The new agreement will include these categories and will also include a new craft furniture line as well as a broader array of holiday merchandise. In addition, the Martha Stewart Living paint program, available only at The Home Depot, was recently re-launched and now all of the 280 designer colors in the Martha Stewart Living palette can be mixed with Glidden-based paint, including the new Duo Paint + Primer. "Martha Stewart Living has been a great partner and a natural fit, and the line has tremendous appeal, particularly for women who represent half of our customers," said Gordon Erickson, senior vice president of Decor for The Home Depot. Lisa Gersh, president and COO of MSLO stated: "The Home Depot and Martha Stewart have both inspired a do-it-yourself movement that is enjoying a resurgence in this country. It's a powerful combination. We're as excited about this partnership today as we were when it was first announced and we look forward to continuing to build on our offerings with new designs in new categories." Research has demonstrated that the addition of the Martha Stewart brand in The Home Depot stores resulted in some consumers shopping longer and spending more.

DES MOINES — The practice of coaches using extra running to punish players for bad behavior and poor performance is getting new scrutiny in Iowa following an investigation into a Des Moines coach who made a student run sprints and laps as punishment.
The Des Moines Register reports that the investigation looked at a Des Moines high school football coach accused of violating school corporal punishment policies by making a sophomore player run. The player was being punished for making derogatory comments about the school's varsity squad.
Iowa Department of Education attorney Thomas Mayes says running or extra conditioning could be considered corporal punishment under state law.
But some, like Dowling Catholic High School activities director Tom Wilson, say that if all conditioning discipline is banned, "youth sports are in trouble."

Book Talk: Deep sea diver takes plunge into fiction
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - Deep-sea commercial diver Michael Ganas spent four years writing a novel that combined his love of engineering and the sea, but ended up publishing it himself because he found it hard to get anyone else interested.
Ganas' debut novel, "The Girl Who Rode Dolphins" and which has won four awards, is set in Haiti where a former Navy Seal teams up with a marine biologist to find a ship that sank 21 years ago but ends up discovering a girl living with dolphins.
American Ganas, a professional engineer who served as a helicopter crew chief in the Vietnam War, said he began writing nearly 20 years ago with technical articles in trade magazines but had always dabbled with fiction.
His wife's battle with chronic myeloid leukemia inspired him to write a novel and dedicate it to her, while the leading female in his science-fiction adventure is based on his daughter.
Ganas spoke to Reuters about getting started in a tough industry:
Q: What got you writing?
A: "I have written a lot of articles over the years and been published in magazines but they mostly were technical. Writing was just a sideline. I wrote a little fiction that was printed in a magazine but I have always been an engineer and a diver."
Q: Why now for a novel?
A: "Writing the novel was done over a period of four years concurrent with my job. One of the primary reasons I wrote it was to honor my wife who has been battling leukemia for the past nine years. As I wrote the novel I would write a little bit and show it to her and she could not wait to read the next segment." Continued...

Learn What Usability Really Is, Why to Strive for It, and How to Achieve It
"Highly useable" software is easy to use. It does what you expect it to. And it does it well.
It's not easy to build but as this book demonstrates, it's well worth the effort. Highly useable software is highly successful software--and everyone wins.
Inside, an accomplished programmer who has made usability his business systematically explores the world of programming, showing you how every aspect of the work is implicated in the usability of the final product. This is not just an "issues" book, however, but systematic, real-world instructions for developing applications that are better in every way. As you'll learn, there's no such thing as "intuitive" software. Instead, there are just the factors that make it highly useable: simplicity, consistency, the recognition of accepted conventions, and the foregrounding of the user's perspective. With these principles under your belt, you'll quickly discover dozens of ways to make your applications more useable:
Jeff Cogswell has been programming in several languages for many years. His background was previously in telecom, writing software for such strange things as network management protocols. Lately, however, his work has focused more on web development. After spending a few years in both Florida and California, Jeff now lives in Michigan. He's holding out for some warmer weather.

Charles Tuller gives us the courage to just do it. He tells us stories of fellow cruisers, their hesitations, fears, and how they succeeded at finding productive new lives on their boats. Through their chronicals the reader finds new ideas about making a living while enjoying a life on the water. Tuller contends that by working in an area, cruisers get to know their surroundings better because they have more interactions with local residents.
Each chapter of Financial Freedom Afloat covers different types of work available to the cruiser, giving the advantages and disadvantages of each endeavor, as well as any certificates or additional education required. The options of working on shore (teaching, health care, the charter industry, construction, cooks/chef, bar tending, resort work, etc.), or on the boat (boat maintenance, chartering your own boat, jewelry making, writing, artwork, T-shirt painting, etc.) are discussed at length. Some skills are readily acquired, and should be, before untying the lines.
Perhaps the most important part of Financial Freedom Afloat is the well-researched reference area at the back of the book. It cites numerous resources for the would-be entrepreneur: books, schools, Internet sites, and job placement services, all conveniently organized by the type of work in which the reader might have an interest.
Tuller believes the key to making a living while cruising is forging a connection with locals and scouting the area to see what opportunities may be available. Most of us think with blinders on when it comes to work outside our area of expertise, but Tuller points out that we all have skills that are marketable, as well as hidden talents that emerge when each cruiser has the freedom to explore his or her potential fully. Cruising allows us the time for that exploration, providing opportunities to earn our daily bread as we go.

Find the middle ground between overt flirting and being too coy.
Sometimes us guys have a hard time picking up on the fact that you're flirting. Sure, we all know that business about you touching your hair when we're talking, and you leaning forward and touching a chest (his or yours) when you giggle, but those "sure-fire signs" can be interpreted as wrestling with a bad hair day or a case of laughter-induced vertigo, respectively. On the other hand, playing Britney '07 while getting out of your car may be a touch overkill (as well as supremely embarrassing if he's not down with your lady business). The best play is the middle ground. Here are nine low-risk pickup tricks with oodles of upside:
1. Juice up the physical contact. A hand to booty move is a little tacky; instead, go for an extra long hug, a kiss hello or goodbye, or an opportunity for a lap-sit. Breaking the force field is a great start and if you've rubbed your feet on some fuzzy carpet first and there's a literal shock when you touch him, well, bully for you. Flirting Tips From A Female Pickup Artist
2. Buy that guy a drink, a chicken Caesar wrap or whathaveyou. Irrespective of what the last several decades have done in terms of earning parity and gender role flipfloppery, we always recall when a lady buys us a brewski.
3. Compliment his appearance. If you can throw in a reasonable and flattering celebrity comparison, so much the better. 7 Phrases Men Love To Hear
4. Groom him. If his collar is askance or he has a mess of unintentional fly-aways or he's rocking a frat tuck (a maneuver in which only the front of a man's shirt is tucked in, oftentimes exposing an interesting belt buckle or emphasizing the crotch region) in a clearly no frat tuck milieu, hook him up. It's not selfish to increase his sexy. Also, this clearly juices up the physical contact.
5. Establish an inside joke. It doesn't have to be a real inside joke; it can be flashing Blue Steel or some other Wes Anderson silliness. A little bit of us-against-them draws people closer (please do not use any of these tips for demagoguery).
6. Ask him about things in his wheelhouse. Everyone feels good about slamming home answers in his areas of expertise; throwing in a bit of fawning over the depth and breadth of his knowledge is pretty slick, too (maybe even with a lean forward, hand-to-the-chest maneuver).
7. Take plenty of photographs featuring the both of you. This may be your instinct. Go with it and post those photos where applicable. Have someone else hold the camera and do the hand-over-the-iPhone-close-together pic.
8. Try a little dancing. Sure, grinding on the dance floor may not be your style, but you don't have to dagger (vertical, public frottage) to trigger a "hey, this is sort of like sex" light bulb. Dancing Can Improve Your Relationship
9. Talk closely and, possibly, privately. A little bit of loud music is a good reason to sit very close and chat. Boisterous goings-on are a great excuse to take a step into an adjoining room... alone. 4 Tricks To Instantly Connect With Anyone
If all else fails (you're probably dealing with a fellow who is obtuse, uninterested or both), ramp up the physical contact. Do not attempt to knot a cherry stem in your mouth. And only write an explicit note on a cocktail napkin if you're prepared for his friends and the internet to see it.

Best value for chronic heartburn
By Barb
from Lanham, MD
Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Berkley Jensen 20mg Omeprazole Acid Reducer Tablets, 3 pk./14 ct.:
This is the generic version of a brand name chronic heartburn medications. It is much cheaper but works the same. I take one a day for GERD - gastroesophogeal reflux disease (chronic heartburn, etc.). It is not used by people for just occasional heartburn.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have taken this med in the past and it works great for me. But that was the Manufacturer's brand product. I checked to see the ingredients of the BJ's House brand and was surprised that it did not list the inactive ingredients. Some stores list inactive ingredients which include "ink", much to my dismay.

After much, much research, getting second opinions, (and many tears) we've decided we need to get DD's 4 front teeth pulled (2 and a half are pretty much gone already anyway). We're scheduled at the hospital for GA on May 17. We're trying to figure out how to explain to her what is going to happen. She's very bright and verbal and I want to show her respect by telling her what we're going to do before it happens. We have a plan for after the surgery (we're going to ask for the teeth and put them under her pillow, etc.) but I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for how to explain to her *why* we have to pull out her teeth.
So far, all we can come up with is something along the lines of "all little kids lose their baby teeth and then they grow big teeth! sometimes kids need a little help with losing their teeth so their big teeth can grow in big and strong." Does that sound lame?
I don't think it sounds lame at all. I think it sounds just right.
I don't have any advice, just wanted to let you know I'm really sorry. Our son as ECC too and I know how heart-wrenching these decisions can be. **super big hugs**
The procedure was a breeze. He was angry about the shot for about 10 seconds before he fell asleep. The procedure was over very quickly and he was barely concous when we took him home. He was hyper and uncoordinated as he came out at home (couldn't stand but trying to jump on the bed). His mouth healed quickly. He never complained of pain while the gums healed. He began eating much more. He made a bigger mess with food because he did all his biting with his eye teeth and molars. His permanent teeth came in later and really pushed to get through the callouses that formed on his gums. He is still not used to biting with the front of his mouth, but he is getting better about it.
I know this is more than you asked for, but these are things that surprised me so I thought I would give you a heads up. We were offered caps but once they pulled the teeth we saw infection on the roots and were glad they were pulled instead.
I'm really sorry you have to go through this, I cant imagine.
I'm not good at explaining things for toddlers, I can never come up with the right things to say, so with DD who is 2 and 2 months, I am pretty much just honest with her. In a case like this I would just tell her that she has to get her teeth pulled because (and then say the real reason, I dont know what that is in your case). but, what you said sounds great. I just never would have come up with it on my own, so I would have just told her the reason as if I was speaking to an older child.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. It *is* so hard and we're just devastated. I really appreciate the support and understanding.
And I also agree to tell her the truth - she deserves that. But I also feel like she will understand the truth better in simpler terms. The dentists can't tell us why this has happened - she had no sugar until 1 year, brushed teeth, never had a bottle, no juice at all (except a bit of prune juice with meals for constipation sometimes) and was breastfed until 25 months! The best they can come up with is "you shouldn't have nursed her so long" (which just drove me up the wall) and that it's genetic and she doesn't have great enamel for whatever reason. I don't think DD would understand either of those reasons so I think I'll stick with the simpler version.
I personally think its a particularly aggressive bacteria. My current dentist thinks its weak enamel due to genetics. In either case, if your DD is like my kids the cavities will continue but at a much slower rate. You will develop a thick skin and she will be fine. My dd, at about your daughter's age, sat still in my lap for an hours worth of fillings totally awake. She has always been patient with dental work and that's why we switched to a regular dentist at 2.5.
Feel free to PM if you like.
I very much sympathize. My 2 year is going through the same. The cost is nearly $3,000 (we have to pay $1,700 out of pocket). She will have to get 4 front teeth capped / or removed, 2 cavities filled on the bottom molars and caps on 2 other molars. we are scheduling it to be done in May 2012.
Please let us know how it goes.
Carmen :
I agree, simpler is better with Little Ones.
My son is in the same boat. No sugar, no juice, no soda. There are several different factors that can contribute to ECC. C-section birth is one, as is lip and tongue tie. Leaky gut, high fevers in infancy. Celiac Disease. The list goes on and on. I blamed myself for a long time. I picked through every thing I did, wondered what I could have done better. Sometimes it just happens the way it does.
Here's what we have going on with our son that I firmly believe play a contributing factor in his ECC. Sometimes they just end up with the entire deck stacked up against them : Antibiotic use during my pregnancy, C-Section birth ( led to reflux and gut imbalance, and leaky gut ), the leaky gut lead to autoimmune responses to foods leading to viral infections and high-fevers from ages 10 months to 14 months old, lip tie, I think I and my son are carriers of forms of the MTHFR gene and this resulted in me being deficient in folate and b12 during pregnancy and can result in poorly formed enamel in babies. Our son cannot properly digest many foods, including grains and possible gluten, celiac disease is not an absolute, but it has not been ruled out.
If you see anything on the list that sounds like your daughter, I would encourage you to do some research to help with future dental issues as they may continue after surgery. I'm happy to help with any suggestions. We're just walking down this journey ourselves.
You're a wonderful mama who obviously loves her daughter to the moon and back. Hang in there.
Thanks so much for your reply, choochoo!
I had a very normal, healthy pregnancy and a home birth so I can rule out that and no lip or tongue tie. We do suspect a gluten intolerance...but they won't test her yet. I have a gluten allergy (I haven't had the test either so not confirmed celiac). I just recently learned of the link between celiac and ecc....it's interesting.
And thank to you too, seraf! DD is much the same in terms of being able to sit/lay there for quite some time while they examine her. She was even able to have x-rays and sat completely still - the nurses were all whispering behind us that they'd never seen a 2 year old sit still for so long. We thought about going with in-office care but it would take 3-4 appointments at about 45min - 1 hour each. We ended up feeling like the more compassionate way was to do the the GA.
If you're noticing decalcification or enamel loss in addition to cavities, you may want to give cell salts, fermented cod liver oil, butter oil, and transdermal magnesium a shot to help her existing teeth. Our son is all of the above and we'll be adding zinc and digestive enzymes.
I her stool frequently contains undigested food or is soft and yellow I would recommend an enzyme. Oftentimes celiac babies do have some sort of leaky gut from being exposed to gluten and I believe about 30 % ( I'm sorry, I don't have a source and the percentage is probably off ) are also sensitive to grains.
I wish you all the best!
We have been doing cell salts for about a year now along with xylitol and high vitamin cod liver oil and ghee sometimes. We also give her a calcium/magnesium supplement every night before bed. We were doing probiotics but haven't for awhile...thanks for the reminder!
I just wanted to update this thread for anyone who might find the information useful.
Our DD had her surgery yesterday morning. It went completely fine. After she "came to" from the GA she was awake for a few minutes and then back asleep hard for another 4 hours when we got home. She seemed fine when she woke up but then the additional freezing they had put in where the extractions were done wore off and she's been in terrible pain since about 5pm yesterday. We've had to alternate tylenol and advil to try and keep it manageable. I called the dentist/surgeon today and she said what is happening is very normal and that to just ride it out with the pain meds and lots of TLC. She seems a bit better tonight so I hope the night goes better.
She ended up having the 4 front top teeth removed, stainless steel caps on all 4 first molars and sealants put on the back molars. The dentist was finally able to see what the problem is and why this has happened in the first place. She was able to identify that DD has a very obvious, severe enamel defect which causes a whole bunch of issues and looks like white splotches all over her teeth. Something to do with hypercalcification - there was a flurry of info after the surgery and we're not 100% sure on the details but will get more info at the follow up appointment. In addition to that she also has deep crevices in all her molars which of course makes them even more vulnerable. She said the defect happens in utero - when the teeth first develop. So, as least we know what we're up against and I can stop driving myself crazy with blame and trying to figure out what went wrong. There is still a chance her adult teeth may not have the problem.
Thanks to everyone who posted with their support.
O my goodness! I am glad everything went ok but am very sorry that your family had to go through all of this. I would love to hear about her progress. Thanks for the update.

Jones, Hoffman & Griffin
The film Improbable Collapse proceeds from an exclusive interview with Jones, a professor of physics at Brigham Young University. Jones argues that the mechanism of the building collapses proposed by US government investigators is extremely unlikely, hence the film title. This is his first film appearance on the issues he raises in his influential research paper, "Why Indeed did the WTC Buildings Collapse?"
Jones earned his physics degree at BYU, graduating magna cum laude with honors in 1973, according to his bio in Wikipedia. "Although the term cold fusion was coined by Jones in the 1980s, his experimental work was significantly different than the more controversial cold fusion experiments of Pons and Fleischmann." Jones has also researched archaeometry (the science of archaeological dating) and is the inventor of a solar cooker that requires no power source to cook a meal other than the sun.
David Ray Griffin is a professor emeritus in the philosophy of religion and theology at the Claremont School of Theology in California. He is a co-director of the Center for Process Studies, and one of the foremost contemporary exponents of process theology, founded on the process philosophies of Alfred North Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne. (See his Wikipedia bio.)
Griffin is also one the foremost investigators of theories that dispute the official version of the events of Sept. 11th, 2001, and of claims that the attack plot originated from within the US military-intelligence complex. He has written two books on the subject of September 11th, The New Pearl Harbor and Omissions and Distortions: The 9/11 Commission Report (a.k.a. "A Critique of the Kean-Zelikow Report").
A software engineer, Jim Hoffman has achieved breakthroughs in the application of scientific visualization to mathematics. His work in this field was featured in Science News, Scientific American and Nature. He also discovered new, three-dimensional morphologies for modeling the block co-polymers used in nanotechnology, and co-authored papers in Science and Macromolecules. He is co-author of a patent for an internal combustion engine with increased thermal efficiency. (See his Wikipedia bio)
Hoffman pioneered research in the hypothesis that the WTC buildings were demolished and providing the inspiration to others who have pursued the same idea, including Steven Jones and David Ray Griffin. He is the editor of three meticulous and sprawling sites: wtc7.net, 911review.com and 911research.wtc7.net.
With Don Paul, who also appears briefly in the film, Hoffman is the co-author of Waking Up from Our Nightmare: The 9/11/01 Crimes in New York City.

Mumbai: Not so long ago the B-tonw actress Minissha Lamba was detained by the customs officials at the airport in Mumbai for the reason that she was carrying with her some undeclared jewellery worth of Rs. 50 lakh. At the time being, the Bollywood super star was coming back from her visit to the famous Cannes Film Festival. We have been able to find out from the actress herself that the officials have spoken, there will be no case against her.
"I have given my statement and the fact is that the jewels don't belong to me. They were given to me to wear at Cannes by Anmol Jewellers, so I don't think there is any case against me. The jewelers will be called to verify that is it their jewels and that's it. It's an open and shut case," the
26-year-old actress stated to the media.
If you do not know, the actress was present in Cannes to attend the premier of Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris. The actress came back to
Mumbai on Wednesday taking an Emirates flight via Dubai.
When asked by the reporters how come she got detained for almost 16 hours by the authorities, the actress answered that "It was just a procedural thing. It wasn't anything terribly serious. But the whole process is very time consuming. That's why it takes time."
The actress who become famous due to her roles in movies such as 'Yahaan', 'Kidnap' and 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' also wanted to add that "The
Cannes experience was fantastic, only the last day was a bit stressful because I lost my bag and when I returned, I was detained. But otherwise it was great and I don't think anything can mar the experience I had at Cannes." Well, Minissha, you should really be more careful next time.

Fears over head injuries rose after Natasha Richardson death
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Do well-publicized medical cases drive people to seek care? In at least one case, the answer is yes -- the sudden death of actress Natasha Richardson.
Publicity surrounding 45-year-old Richardson, who died of a head injury in March after a skiing accident, triggered a 73 percent jump in emergency room visits for head trauma, according to research by Morristown Memorial Hospital in New Jersey.
The study, presented on Monday at the American College of Emergency Physicians' annual meeting in Boston, looked at the number of patients seen by doctors in 19 urban, suburban, and rural emergency rooms in New York and New Jersey in March 2009.
During that month, more than 2,500 of nearly 87,000 visits were for head trauma.
They compared the daily visits for head injury in the 10 days before and after March 18, the day of Richardson's death.
Although the visits for head trauma increased significantly after March 18, only "a very small proportion of patients -- in the two to three percent range -- really had anything to worry about," researcher Brian Walsh told Reuters Health.
By March 31, the number of visits returned to the pre-March 18 range.
"The study quantified what we already knew: when the media make people more aware of a disease process, they get scared and come to the emergency room," Walsh said.
In this case, "the media played up the 'sudden death syndrome' aspect -- the idea that you can have a minor fall, look great afterwards, and suddenly die." Continued...

Cranberry Almond Coconut Macaroons
I'm not Jewish, but I've always looked forward to Passover. That may sound like a weird sentence, but it's true, and it totally makes sense. I'm being serious. Passover always meant that the bakery department in my supermarket would begin to get shipments of all sort of varieties of coconut macaroons. Some were plain, some had chocolate, some had nuts, and others were covered in chocolate. They were all delicious. I don't know why, but there's just something about coconut macaroons that I just find delicious. So whenever Passover came around, I knew that coconut macaroons would soon follow...and so would my purchases of these tiny, yummy cookies.
These macaroons were the result of my second attempt ever at making coconut macaroons. The first attempt was a complete fail, which makes no sense, considering how easy macaroons actually are to make. This must have been something like, 6 years ago, at least. I vividly remember deciding to make my own batch of plain coconut macaroons, and I was so excited. I was so excited, that I completely forgot to line my baking sheets with a silicone liner, parchment paper, or even just waxed paper. In any case, I made the macaroons exactly as the directions stated, scooped them out onto my un-lined baking sheets (unknown to me, obviously), and then popped them in the oven. When I took them out, they looked beautiful, and just how I had pictured them. After letting them cool slightly on the baking pan, I went to transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely when I realized that the coconut macaroons I had been so eager to make were, in fact, completely stuck to the baking sheets. That was a sad moment.
After that failed macaroon attempt, I suppose I was left slightly traumatized, and never attempted to make them again (such a silly thing, considering that the source of my error was something that could have been fixed so easily). I never stopped loving coconut macaroons though, and I so I decided to give them another go last week. They were so simple to make! The only thing I didn't like is that I realized how much time I had wasted without making a batch of successful coconut macaroons. Silly me.
The recipe for these macaroons is simple and straightforward. It's a dressed up coconut macaroon, with the addition of cranberries, almonds, and a little chocolate drizzle. Originally, I had wanted to dip half of the macaroons in chocolate, but in the end, I'm very happy that I chose to only drizzle a little chocolate over the top. The drizzle adds a little chocolate flavor, without overpowering the almonds and cranberries, and making the macaroons too sweet. They come together really easily; all you have to do is combine the ingredients over the stove, stir, and then pour into a baking dish and refrigerate for a half hour. Then, scoop them out onto lined baking sheets, bake, and drizzle with chocolate, and you have yourself some really tasty macaroons! Enjoy!
Cranberry Almond Coconut Macaroons
recipe from The Sophisticated Gourmet
3 cups sweetened, shredded coconut
3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup sweetened, dried cranberries, chopped
1/4 cup slivered almonds
3/4 cup egg whites (I used about 6 eggs)
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Begin by combining the coconut, sugar, cranberries, almonds, and egg whites in a heavy saucepan set over medium low heat. Cook the mixture for about 10-15 minutes, making sure to stir frequently. As the mixture cooks, it will begin to look creamy, and then eventually begin to dry out, with individual coconut flakes becoming more distinguishable. When the mixture no longer looks creamy, but is still sticky, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Pour the mixture out into a small baking dish, spread it out into an even layer with a spatula, and place into the fridge to cool for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper.
Shape the macaroons into evenly sized cookies (I used a cookie scoop for this, but doing it by hand would work too!). Place the macaroons on the baking sheets, making sure to space them evenly apart from each other. Bake the macaroons until they are golden brown on the top, about 27-30 minutes. Allow the macaroons to cool momentarily on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Place the chocolate in a medium-sized bowl, and set it over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler. Stir the chocolate with a whisk until is has melted completely and is smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of the macaroons. Refrigerate the finished macaroons for a couple of minutes to set the chocolate drizzle.
Makes 24 macaroons.

McDaniel ranks in top 100 of nation's liberal arts colleges
The editors of Washington Monthly, which began its rankings in 2005 to call attention service-oriented schools, say their central question in assessing colleges and universities is, "What are colleges doing for the country?"
"McDaniel is proud to answer this question with evidence of demonstrated service to community, country and the world at large," says Roger Casey, president of the college. "As one of the Colleges That Change Lives, we pride ourselves on the opportunities we take to better ourselves and the world around us."
Whether it's running a tax clinic to help low-income families prepare their income returns or working in health clinics in rural regions of Nicaragua, McDaniel students are making a difference.
According to Washington Monthly, the magazine's rankings are based on three broad categories: Social Mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students); Research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and Ph.D.s); and Service (encouraging students to give something back to their country).
McDaniel's rankings in several areas of Washington Monthly's report illustrate the college's longstanding dedication to serving the local community as well as the country. To quantify this factor, Washington Monthly rates colleges based on the number of students in ROTC and the Peace Corp, as well as how many students are engaged in community service.
McDaniel ranks No. 5 – out of 252 liberal arts institutions – for the number of students participating in ROTC. At No. 111 for Peace Corps enrollment and No. 104 for Community Service Participation, McDaniel ranks well within the top half of colleges. Another area in which McDaniel shines is actual graduation rate, which places the college at No. 35 nationally out of 252 schools.
