States Refuse Medicaid Expansion, Leaving Millions Without Coverage
Roughly 5.5 million Americans living across 21 states lack health care coverage that could be provided if states agreed to an expansion of the Medicaid program. The expansion is an incentive built into the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that was projected to extend healthcare coverage at little cost to state governments, which would have to cover a maximum of only 10 percent of costs after the first three years of the expansion.
Last year, the Congressional Budget Office predicted that the Affordable Care Act, known popularly as "Obamacare," would provide new coverage to 23 million people starting in 2016.
The number of enrollees could continue to shrink as states decline the Medicaid expansion, leaving behind citizens like Erika Neal of St. Louis, Missouri, who is battling ovarian cancer and lacks coverage.
Leaving behind the poor
Latino Times reports that millions like Neal are stuck in a bureaucratic limbo as states refuse to take part in the Medicaid expansion that could provide coverage to low-income individuals who don't qualify under the existing state and federal programs. Neal was diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer, undergoing a hysterectomy in 2011.
Since that time, she has seen her salary cut as deputy director of a nonprofit museum, and her job-based health coverage eliminated.
Lacking insurance, she went more than a year without tests that would allow her to know whether the cancer had reappeared. She now relies on an emergency state program to pay for the quarterly tests but still worries about her future.
"I'm always praying, but in 2014, my prayers will be ever more fervent," Neal said. "If the cancer comes back and it's not detected, it'll kill me. Most ovarian cancers, by the time you find out you have it, you just need to plan your funeral. So it's a blessing they have a test for it, but I can't get the tests if I don't have health insurance."
Legislatures in Missouri and 20 other states with Republican-controlled legislatures aren't participating in the health care law's Medicaid expansion, fearing that the cost would require state budget cuts in other areas, or an substantial increase in taxes. A few states are still debating whether it is worth the investment.
"What we have now is a lot of states with Democratic governors and legislatures taking part and lots of red states vociferously rejecting the expansion. Those legislatures that reject the expansion hope and expect that ACA will be overturned or that future state legislatures will continue to reject the expansion," said Professor Gary Burtless, a senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution, in a statement to Mint Press News."I think the partisan opposition is so strong that these states would rather pursue a policy that may not be in the economic interest in their state."
In the meantime, patients are forced to rely upon free clinics, costly emergency care or forgoing treatment altogether.
"There's no way they can afford individual coverage at that income level, so they'll do what they do now, which is they go to the free care pools in the hospitals, they go to public health clinics, they borrow from friends, they go to free clinics," said Gerald Friedman, a health care economist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, "and they just get sicker and sicker."
What about the cost?
While Republican legislatures claim that this is an issue of dollars and cents, the data doesn't appear to support that argument.
Here's how the expansion works: state governments won't pay anything for the program over the first three years, and no more than 10 percent of costs after 2016. The original program has functioned with relatively few problems in both Democratic and Republican states since it was created as a result of the Social Security Amendments of 1965.
"Even in the usual course of events, the Medicaid program is generously subsidized depending upon the states economic level. Richer states usually get a 50 percent reimbursement and poor states, 80 percent. In order to encourage high rates of state participation, I think the subsidies for expansion were even more generously subsidized even though they will become less in future years," Burtless said.
The Affordable Care Act sought to expand this coverage to more people by mandating that states take part in the expansion. The state mandate portion was struck down by the Supreme Court. "The government was going to impose penalties by taking back some of the subsidies that they were receiving for their existing programs, if those states did not participate there would be a penalty. That is the particular item that the SCOTUS ruled was unconstitutional. The federal government does not have the right to impose penalties for states that don't participate, but they can receive subsidies if they chose to expand," Burtless said.
Is single payer the way to go?
It's an issue thats not just affecting patients, but hospitals as well. Since the law requires hospitals to provide emergency care to the indigent, there currently is no way for hospitals to receive reimbursements for providing service.
"Lots of hospitals and healthcare facilities find themselves in the position because they are legally obliged to those who don't have insurance. If those folks were enrolled, then the hospitals would at least receive reimbursement, since most of that reimbursement comes from federal government," Burtless said.
This is the principle reason that the U.S. paid $2.6 trillion for healthcare in 2010, far more than any other highly developed country in the Organization for Economic Development in per capita expenses, according to reports from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The key difference is that countries like Japan, Norway and Australia provide universal healthcare to their citizens at a fraction of the cost.
"If you do believe in insurance against the risk of very large medical bills, the advantage of the single payer system is number one. It can be much more efficiently run because there is a single set of procedures. They wouldn't have to have the flexibility of covering insured and uninsured patients as well as a complicated billing systems," Burtless said.

I love bed time. I can't wait to go to bed with my people. I know my mom's bedtime routine.
She messes with her cell phone (the chewed up one by yours truly). Then, she messes with little bottles in her purse. Then, she looks at me and says BED TIME!
Woo. I grab my bone and meet her at the stairs. I run up and jump on the bed. Then I have to move because I always plop myself on her side. I chew on my bone while she pets me telling me that I'm her beautiful boy. After a while I just go to sleep, nice and warm.
Then dad comes to bed. I gotta MOVE again because now I'm on HIS side. So I gotta wedge myself between them. Now its REALLY nice and warm.
Early in the morning I wake up and the two kitties are snuggled in bed too. The little one usually snuggles with me. The big one is always the farthest from me. He's cranky.
Note to myself - - - - do not sniff open, unattended jars of horseradish on the counter.
Well...I overheard that a new couch will be purchased for the TV room especially for me. Cool.

Eight days ago I got married. I hope that the two weeks of blogs I programmed the James-robot to deliver - so I could focus on enjoying said marriage and ensuing time commitments - were to your pleasure, and not lacking in any freshness.
Our wedding was a smashing success. I cleaned up okay in a suit, which happens sometimes. My bride was a vision, which is a much more common occurrence.
(We'll be sticking with LP, rather than the more accurate "LR" as her blog nom de plume, as it is a handle that she recently admitted to having some sentimental attachment too.)
There was a small weather issue. I'd never experienced rain at LP's family home between the months of May and September... until my own wedding day. If I were a betting man, I'd say I would never experience it again.
It was a weeklong environmental rollercoaster: the forecast darkened, and then improved markedly, before plummeting again. The wedding ceremony was outdoors, and as guests arrived the conditions toggled between sunshine, spits of rain and chilling winds. As the ceremony started, it began to rain softly. The sky was a menacing grey and the air was still. It was as if the heavens were preparing to open any second, but for 30 minutes (thankfully) the heavy rain held off, unleashed instead at a steady rate through the (under-cover) cocktail and dinner hours. There was a sketchy half-hour about dusk where the collected rainwater pouring out of the gutters kept tripping the breakers of the lighting and intermittently sending the marquee into darkness.
The rain raised pulses, but had no impact on the fun had; people imbibed, mingled, laughed and danced into the next day. I remembered my vows, and didn't embarrass myself making a speech. The food was a hit (though it was surreal to eat something that I'd spent six months discussing and planning). The band was good.
Ninety people had, or at least claimed to have, an extremely good time.
I have few things to add to the canon of wedding advice. It went by quickly. Invariably, all of my worries turned out to be unwarranted. The weather, and how unaffected people were by it, was further evidence that no one goes to a wedding to have a bad time. Immediately following the wedding, I was more exhausted than I can ever remember being. In the time since, I've slept long and lived lazier than I have in a while. I hadn't taken on board just how preoccupied by the wedding planning I'd been for so long.
It was great in all the ways that people told me it would be, but somehow indefinably and indescribably... better. Among the blur of it all, there were a few thoughts over the day about this wedding and my situation, which I thought relate to some things we've been talking about here.
Thought 1: It's surreal and amazing to see all of the people from all of the places in your life come together.
A wedding is the one time where people from all eras and geographies of your life will drop everything and travel any particular distance to celebrate you. This is a factor in any wedding, but when you're joining two distinct and separate geographic backgrounds, and combining groups of people from New Zealand, Norway, London, Sydney, Boston and California, it takes on an added poignancy. I have many wedding memories and I'm not ready to pronounce any to be the defining one. But I forced myself at several occasions in the evening to take a few quiet moments to survey the scene, and was struck every time by how unlikely and amazing it was that all these different people were all together at the same time.
Thought 2: It is, however, rare and fleeting.
The wedding was a little over a week ago, and it already seems like a dream that my sisters were cutting loose with LP's brothers on a dance floor somewhere in Chicago Park, California. Our families had never met, and will probably meet many times again. But having all of our immediate family together would be difficult to replicate.
Thought 3: Foreign-ness is in the eye of the perceiver.
It was a constant joy of the wedding week to see both American and New Zealand arms of the family find the other slightly exotic. From catching LP's aunt slyly enquiring about the proper "English" way to set the cutlery on the dining table (as we New Zealanders are so devout about traditional British customs), to the way my parents pulled out their worldliest and most cultured stories to impress new company (apparently my Dad's grandfather was an Irish sea captain), it was fun to see the attempts made to impress on each side.
Thought 4: I am immeasurably invested in America now.
Standing in front of all those people and getting married ties me not just into a marriage and an American wife, but a living, breathing American family, an American life and a future, and the entire country in general. I'll always be part American outsider, but it's time to acknowledge that I'm now a bit of an insider too.
So, a few messy thoughts today, but I felt the event should be marked, and maybe a photo or two put up here for the few people who asked so nicely.
Were you married abroad? How did it make you feel? Did it rain on your wedding day?
How do you like my suit?
I'm sure we can now find something to talk about, right?

First of all, congratulations!
My husband and I are both New Zealanders, but my Mother married an American a few years ago. The wedding in NZ was the first time my step-father and his daughter had been over here and we had such a fantastic time finding stupid differences and similarities between the two cultures. It was interesting hearing about exotic America and its traditions and also made me feel a little exotic myself when explaining quirks of NZ culture to them.
Weather-wise, our wedding day was as tension-filled as possible in the lead-up, with it raining and blowing a gale in true Wellington fashion when we woke in the morning, but beautiful and sunny for the ceremony in the afternoon. Then we were rewarded with the most amazing sunset I have ever seen. Gorgeous.
Congratulations James, sounds like a wonderful day. I hope the demands of married life will still leave you with enough time to continue writing one of Stuff's most interesting and thoughtful blogs.
Congratulations!! You look great and LP looks BEAUTIFUL!! Yay I was hoping we would get to see a wedding pic. I am not married so I have nothing else to contribute :P
Not much to say other than "Congratulations". Weddings are indeed a great way of bringing together far-flung and differing folk.
Congrats James & LP. James, you looked very swish, and LP looked gorgeous. My Wedding was nearly 17 years ago, I remember very little about it, but I do remember being very tired & emotional at the end of the day. Also, someone set off the fire alarm at the hotel where our reception was being held, so half way through the party everyone had to evacuate (got some photos with the fire dept though).
Congratulations. You both look fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing a couple pics with us.
Is it lame of me to say you are a gorgeous couple? Well too bad, I'm saying it. Congratulations!
Congratulations, James, and yes, you do rock that suit - I have enjoyed you blog, and hope for more to come.
We had American relatives and friends visit NZ for our wedding back on '04 - note that this was just after G W Bush had won reelection - unfortunately, some of the Americans were Republicans, so I had to keep my trap shut about how appalled I was about the US election result.
My dad, despite warnings not to do so, had no such qualms, and proceeded to make 'Bush-Is-An-Idiot" jokes in his speech, bless him. But everything was fine. And Obama won in '08, so everyone was happy. Except the Republicans.
Your suit looks very well fitting :) Nice job.
It rained on my Wedding day :( was so gutted because the view from our Reception venue was the sea and it was just grey and blah. No sunset because the cloud was so low. The only low point of my day, as was hoping for some lovely sunset photos :|

German Shepherd Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency | EPI | Chronic Pancreatic Insufficiency | Maldigestion | Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
Also known as "maldigestion syndrome," exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), which can be very common in the German Shepherd, is a pancreatic disease, affecting the organ than controls the production of enzymes needed to break down foods and absorb necessary nutrients. Pancreatic insufficiency occurs when a failure in the pancreas makes it impossible for the German Shepherd dog to break down fats, starches, and proteins in their diet into a sufficiently small size to be absorbed through the intestinal wall. Unable to absorb nutrients, the dog may starve to death even as he or she continues eating.
Signs of pancreatic insufficiency are usually relatively clear, making this a somewhat easy condition to diagnose. The disorder may come on suddenly, or the onset may be slow. In either case, you will notice your German Shepherd dog undergoing massive, rapid weight loss, caused both by loss of fat and by muscle atrophy. The coat of your dog may become less glossy and less healthy-looking, and your dog's stool will be diarrhea-like in consistency and yellow or clay-colored. Undigested fat may also be in the stool. Your German Shepherd will be constantly hungry and eat as much as possible, but be unable to keep his or her weight up.
Luckily, this disease is treatable. However, a life-long course of treatment for your German Shepherd is likely to be expensive and time-consuming. You will need to effectively bring in outside pancreatic enzymes to perform the functions that your own German Shepherd dog's pancreatic enzymes cannot. The best medication for this is a ground and freeze-dried mixture of pancreases of hogs and cattles, which is then processed and sold as the tablets or powder Pancrezyme and Viokase. These medications should be fed to a dog either mixed in with his or her food or thirty minutes prior to a meal. This medicine can cost $60-100 a month. Another option is the feeding of raw pig pancreases to your German Shepherd dog, although this is a less practical option for many pet owners.

She is remembered as an earth mother, vegetarian, animal-rights campaigner and sometime musician.
But before all of this came her photography, celebrated in the new exhibition of her work Light From Within.
She honed her eye in New York snapping legends such as Hendrix, Joplin and the Rolling Stones during the Sixties.
Contrast those heady days with intimate family portraits of the McCartney clan at play - a relaxed world of Paul, ponies and kids.
Her career started in 1966 when the then-receptionist pinched an invitation to a Rolling Stones floating press trip and found herself the only photographer on board; then, of course, she married Paul McCartney in 1969.
Successful celebrity photographers always experience the conflict between life and art - do they like my photo, or do they just like who I'm photographing?
But this exhibition, from the book of the same name which Linda was preparing in the two years before her death in 1998, shows the gap between snapping famous musicians and photographing a husband who happens to be the most famous musician of all.
Her quirky, irreverent outlook suited photographs of domesticity far more than glitterati. The result is the story of a life - family, friends - that should remove any lingering doubts over whether Linda wanted Paul for what he represented, or for what he was.

1. I am the biggest snuggler in the world.
2. I love my mommy more that anything in the world including food (believe it or not) Well I guess she does BRING the food.
3. I still go potty in the house sometimes (never poop)
4. I get my nails painted and love to wear pretty dresses (mom says I am the little girl she never had)
5. I go to softball games and baseball game with my brother when he is working (he is a sports writer)
I tagged
6. I love my Cedar well I guess everyone knows that!
7. I am going to be a my other brother's wedding I have a new dress!
On Tuesday night I had a date with the beagle of my dreams Sir Cedar International Knight of Mystery. We went to the Coronation Ball where we danced and danced paw to paw. He took my breath away (check out my new music on my page). He bought me jewels and took me to the ball in a fabulous carriage. At the ball there was lots of delicious food and drink as well. My friends were all there and we celebrated the coronation of King Mike and Queen Keeva. All was well until we were sabotaged by the evil dogfather with fleas we then had to leave the ball so as not to be infested by the varmints.
I would like to take this opportunity to say good luck to all the queen contenders. I plan to campaign for all beagles their rights and their freedom to be the best breed in the world. If elected I will work hard to outlaw bad treatment of our breed from those who think beagles should be kept in small pens and only let loose a few times a year for hunting. I vow to help keep the Snoop Doggs the best group on the dogster site. I will also dedicate my time to recruit more of the creme de la creme of the dog world to join us in having fun fun fun. I believe that dogs are people too and should be loved as they love, unconditionally, forever. So my beagley friends vote for me Coalby and it will be bellly rubs for all!!!!!!!!

Britain's Queen, meeting pope, gives him eggs, whiskey, beer
By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Queen Elizabeth met Pope Francis for the first time on Thursday and gave a bemused pontiff culinary delights from the royal estates, including a dozen eggs and a bottle of whisky.
"I've also brought something from all our estates, which is for you personally," said the queen, wearing a lavender dress and a purple hat, as she handed Francis a wicker basket full of food at the end of a 17-minute private meeting in the Vatican.
The 18 items from Buckingham Palace, Windsor, Sandringham and Balmoral also included two types of honey, "Coronation Best Bitter," "Grandad's chutney" and "Sandringham handmade aromatherapy soaps".
A Vatican official said the pope would likely share the food with other residents of the guest house where he has lived since his election after renouncing the spacious papal apartments or would donate it.
The Queen and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, met the pope in a modern room attached to the Vatican's audience hall without much of the ceremonial pomp that usually accompanies such visits.
A Vatican statement did not say what the two discussed. The Queen is also the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, which split from Rome in 1534.
The pope is Argentine and Britain went to war with Argentina over the Falkland Islands, which Argentina calls the Malvinas, in 1982.
To cut short any speculation that the two might have discussed the Falklands, the British embassy reminded reporters that while the pope may be Argentine, the Vatican's official position on the territorial dispute is a neutral one. Continued...

Police say 44-year-old Lance Palmer of Auburn and 28-year-old Christopher Dube of Dover, New Hampshire may have been in Biddeford Sunday.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Dube on an unrelated matter.
Police say Palmer should be considered armed and dangerous.
37-year-old Jeffrey Lude of Biddeford and 42-year-old Russell Lavoie of Old Orchard Beach were shot to death.
Police say neither man lived in the apartment, and the shooting was not a random act.
Anyone with information should call State Police at 657-3030.

Tony Parker could only shake his head at the travails of the Los Angeles Lakers, who probably packed more drama and turmoil into this season than the Spurs point guard has experienced in his entire career with steady San Antonio Spurs.
Parker is just grateful San Antonio Spurs sidestepped the drama and kept moving steadily into the 2nd round of the playoffs.
Parker scored 23 points, Kawhi Leonard and DeJuan Blair added 13 apiece, and San Antonio eliminated the injury-plagued Lakers with a 103-82 victory in Game Four, completing an one-sided series with a 2nd straight blowout on the road.
San Antonio trailed for fewer than 5 combined minutes in the 4-game series, grinding out points and defensive stops with the steady professionalism of Coach Gregg Popovich's best teams. The Lakers played the finale without Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Metta World Peace and 2 key reserves, tamping down almost all of the playoff vibe.
"It was just a weird feeling," Parker said. "Obviously, I am satisfied we won, though it was just weird. They were missing a lot of guys, so we are just happy to go to the next round."
Tim Duncan had 11 points and 6 rebounds for the 2nd-seeded San Antonio, who will face the winner of Denver's series with Golden State in the 2nd round. They'll get lots of rest after flattening the Lakers, who staggered through their first opening-round exit since 2007.
"Obviously, it was not a fair fight," Popovich declared. "When you're a competitor, you want to compete on an even basis, and the Lakers were not able to do that. … Although it wasn't a fair fight, we still want to win the series, and I'm glad we did. Our focus was great."
San Antonio never trailed in the clincher, leading by 25 points in one more professional effort against the 7th-seeded Lakers, who provided their usual drama right down to their last gasp.
After Duncan led the Spurs' blowout in Game 3, Parker took the lead in the clincher, scoring 15 points in the 1st half while taking advantage of the Lakers' hastily assembled backcourt. Lakers' top 4 guards are out with injuries, including backups Steve Blake and Jodie Meeks, and Parker was merciless against 3rd-stringers.
"This is an excellent start for us," Duncan related. "We like the pace we are at right now. We like the rhythm we are at right now, and how healthy we are right now. Hopefully it can stay that way." Football scores
The Spurs had control over this series from the start: They posted 2 methodical victories at home before sending the Lakers to their biggest home playoff defeat in their long franchise history in Game 3, 120-89. The clincher was more of the same, with the Lakers unable to mount enough teamwork to challenge the smooth Spurs.
The Spurs have swept 3 of their last 4 playoff series, winning each game in the first two rounds last season before losing in 6 games to Oklahoma City in the Western Conference finals. San Antonio is in the 2nd round of the postseason for the 4th time in 6 seasons since their last championship in 2007.

Beckett Groans with No. One
In 12 of the 13 runnings of the $6m Dubai World Cup, stall one, known universally as "the coffin box draw", has not boasted one horse in the frame. The exception was Electrocutionist, who defied the impossible when winning in 2006.
However, that crumb of comfort did little to cheer up trainer Ralph Beckett, who flies the flag for Britain with Muhannak in the world's richest race and groaned with disbelief when his Breeders Cup Marathon winner was handed the inside draw.

The behavior of ceramic-metal protection against a projectile impact is modeled. The model takes into account the mass and velocity for each stage of the phenomenon. A former model was modified considering more realistic parameters such as geometries and deformation profile. To analyze the model, simulations on different parameters have been run. The impact results of different ballistic projectiles were simulated, and the movement was plotted. In addition, a deterministic simulation on the mechanical properties of the back metal plate properties was done.

For Release Thursday, June 2, 2011
The year was 450 A.D. Rome was besieged by imports. The people were unemployed as low-cost goods from the Germanic tribes and the Mongolian hordes flooded the empire.
Emperor Romulus Augustus Obamatus summoned Praetor Lockatus. "You are responsible for Rome's competitiveness; why cannot we employ our citizens? Why are our chariots made in Nara, our sandals in Gongju, and our togas in Pingcheng? The Germanic tribes sell us our tools. Even our wine is from the Franks in Gaul. Our papyrus is from Egypt and our tin is from Britannia while our olive oil is from Iberia. There is rumbling in the markets. I fear for the future of Rome. What is your advice?"
The meeting led to the proclamation of a Roman Export Initiative (REI). The Roman government would assist the small and mid-size shop keepers to sell their products from Egypt to Hibernia. The Roman government would also assist major business. A State of the Empire Speech was presented to the Senate, outlining the threat and how Rome must now invest in education, research, and infrastructure, including repair of the aqueducts and roads that tie the empire together. Obamatus said that the Empire had become complacent since the Punic Wars and did not see the rise of economic competitors.
Some members of the right side of the Senate were aghast at the Emperor's approach. These Senators were Equites from rural villages and patricians who did not want to pay taxes. The patricians' wives wore flaxen hair imported from Germany.
Senator Paulacus rose to speak. He said that Rome's economy must be only defended by private business. There was no role for government in assisting our exports. "What is good for Wallforum is good for Rome." We must eliminate the Roman Commercial Service and allow market forces to work. We must worship Mercury, the god of commerce, and seek his guidance in our decisions. "And furthermore," he intoned, "we must only spend our coins on the legions to maintain the empire. We must allow our patricins to retain their wealth to spend it wisely on their villas. We must eliminate the debt and not increase it for ple bian services."
Lockatus rose to respond. He eloquently argued that other nations use government economic strategy, incentives, and tools to attract investment and sell into Rome. "We can no longer ignore what our competitors do to penetrate our markets. The Mediterranean has changed and we must adjust to the new realities." Lockatus noted that some countries have stolen our chariot designs. They make cheap sundials and put our brand on them. Their companies are even government owned. They peg their currency to the argenteus. Rome must adjust or decline and may even fall.
Lockatus faced Senator Paulacus and met his challenge. Sadly, some our biggest companies no longer say they are Roman companies; they now say they are Mediterranean companies. They are no longer tied to our community. They move their work outside of Rome for cheap or slave labor and transport their wares on fast galleys made in Greece to our ports. You go to the dock and you see full urns made in North Africa arriving and empty urns leaving. The Roman government must be a leader in keeping Rome competitive and employing our citizens.
Senator Murryus rose to speak about a conversation with the Persian ambassador. Ambassador Darius observed that the Roman leadership and citizens failed to observe what is happening in the rest of the world, always looking inward. They follow the gladiators but not the economy. The ambassador joked that Rome did not even notice the approach of a military threat until someone reported a large group of elephants in the suburbs.
A group of new Senators called the "Muslum" party named after a popular Roman honeyed wine drink, supported Senator Paulacus. They advocated eliminating most the government and allowing individual business to provide the service. They noted the success of the privatized Rome fire service and its admirable new business model: If your villa caught on fire, the fire service arrived and bargained with you for the sale of your home and when they had bought it, put the fire out.
The Senators enjoyed good rhetoric and lyre music but some thought they smelled smoke. They could have been listening to fiddle music but it was not invented for 1000 years.

The importance of having photos
We recently received an email from an MSFer who wanted to let us know about her upcoming wedding to chap she'd met through mysinglefriend.com. This happens on a regular basis but what really struck us about this particular story was that the woman in question hadn't added any pictures of herself to her profile. Now, we're very pleased to hear that her lucky hubby was drawn to her profile despite not being able to see what she looked like, but this scenario is the exception, rather than the rule.
We know that looks aren't the most important thing in life or a relationship, but it's a fact that online dating is a very visual experience, so the importance of a good photo can't be stressed enough. However, it's crucial to remember that it's the photo that has to be beautiful, meaning that you don't need to have the model good looks of Tom Hardy or Mila Kunis to attract a date. Read on for some top photo tips...
Bright and breezy
An attractive photo needs to be well lit. Before you add your primary picture take a look through the thumbnails on the search pages of the site and ask yourself which photos catch your eye. Is it the poorly lit ones of an indistinct face peering out from the gloom, or is it the bright and colourful pictures that jump from the page? It will always be the latter, so keep this in mind when choosing your photo. Pictures taken outdoors generally work best, as natural lighting is everyone's friend, and a dash of bright colour works wonders too.
We can't stress enough that a smiley photo works better than anything else. Though you may think you bear a striking resemblance to Keira Knightley with that sultry pout, it's important to bear in mind the impression you're giving to people looking at your profile. A smiley photo equals a happy and fun person who'd be great company on a night out; a pouty, moody one equals...well, a pouty and moody person who might be really hard work. Save any pouting for your secondaries, if you must include them at all, as they can be a real turn off.
Head and shoulders
People viewing your profile want to see what your face looks like, so make sure your primary photo is a good, head and shoulders close up. If your face can't be clearly seen, anyone looking at your thumbnail picture is more likely to move on without clicking through to your profile, so make sure you use a good close up and save those bikini body shots for your secondaries. It's also best to use a picture of you on your own, as cutting your mate out of the shot invariably leads to cutting out half your face, which doesn't help matters.
Indulge in a little photo shoot
If you don't currently have any suitable shots of yourself, then take some new ones rather than using a slightly ropey one. Get a friend round to take a few shots of you in the garden or a local park - outdoors light works best, and you should find a flash of colour to pose against. You may feel a little embarrassed, but it'll end up being a bit of a last and you'll get some great pictures out of it. Try to avoid using photos that you've obviously taken yourself as that looming arm in the shot never looks good.
Ask a mate
If you aren't sure about your photos, ask a friend to take a look for you. They'll have a more objective eye and will be able to make a good judgment about whether your pics are working in your favour. And, once you've asked, TAKE THEIR ADVICE as we all tend to get a little confused around photos of ourselves and don't always make the best judgments.
Chop and change
If you don't think your pics are working for you, and you aren't getting the attention you deserve, then change them. Swapping your photos around is a great way to refresh your profile and grab the attention of someone who may have passed you by before. It's also good for your morale, so make sure you have a good selection to draw on and change them regularly.

best place for marble flooring
What is a good place to buy marble tiles? Is online a good place to buy. I have found this site, is buying marble flooring ok to do it at an online store? http://www.travertinewarehouse.com/marble-tiles.html
I can't imagine that the shipping costs wouldn't negate any overall price savings. How much do you need?
Actually ground freight---not to be confused with UPS Ground or something---should not be that high. It may take some time to get to you though. Perhaps it is already factored into the prices you are seeing? If not make sure you know how they will ship and what the cost will be upfront.
Do the online places you are considering have minimums? That could be a deal breaker.
Have you seen a sample and does the supplier promise to match it with similar marble or are they just going to ship you a box of some sort of marble? Make sure what you expect to get is well specified as far as thickness, surface, color and so forth.
If you were taking business from an independent flooring supplier in your area I would cringe a bit but most are gone and all left are national chains or box stores. They give nothing back to the communities in which they exist anyhow so...
If the numbers work, go ahead and order online.
You should, regardless of where you get the marble, order some extra tiles for repairs you may need down the road. You may not find the same color again.
Especially with marble, be sure and get floor tiles that are thick enough to hold up.
