A writer asks how to talk to a younger cousin about setting realistic dating expectations while also respecting that her pickiness may actually reflect what she's truly looking for.
Dear Miriam,
How do I tell my little cousin that she is being too neurotic about dating while also recognizing that she may just be very honest about where she's at and, in fact, really know what's best for her? For example, she's 25 and was horrified that someone who was 29 messaged her on a dating site because she thought he was "disgustingly old" for her.
Cousin Corrector
Dear Corrector,
The urge to tell someone, especially someone that you love, that she is wrong can, indeed, be overwhelming, but it's not always the right move. Who cares if your 25-year-old cousin is neurotic when it comes to dating? She isn't hurting anyone by having unrealistic expectations. Even if she were hurting someone, it wouldn't be you. If she's coming to you every day and complaining about her prospects, that's a different issue, but it doesn't sound like that's the case.
You have the opportunity to offer her gentle guidance, but I don't think, "Hey cuz, you're neurotic," is going to be productive for either one of you. Instead, you could say, "Why do you think he's too old for you?" or, "I have friends in great relationships with people older than them, and if it's the right person, it can work out really well," or even a simple, "What are you looking for?" These non-threatening words of wisdom from an older cousin may open up an honest conversation without putting her on the defensive.
You could also offer to look at her online dating profile. Maybe something in there will catch your eye as to why she's receiving messages from guys who aren't her type. Looking at her profile may also lead to a useful discussion about her expectations, her dating habits and how she's presenting herself. You may even be able to see some of the potential matches the site suggests, and you could look at them together and talk about the merits or problems she sees with each guy. By engaging her in these topics on her level and not on your level, you're more likely to get through to her about the realities of dating and to provide her with a more mature confidante.
I would be remiss if I didn't point this out, though: She's 25, not 17. She's not a kid, and she may really know exactly what she wants and not care at all what you think. Be prepared to be rebuffed as the clueless older cousin who's out of touch with the dating scene as she sees it. Listen to her perspective and her experiences. Acknowledge and accept that she may be extremely self-aware, even if it's not the kind of self-awareness you would choose for yourself or for her.
Even if you think you know what's best for her, she may not care. So until she asks you directly for dating advice, you may be better off keeping your opinions to yourself.
Be well,

Hume wrongly criticized Wash. Post article by his own "FOX All-Star," Ceci Connolly
FOX News Washington managing editor Brit Hume falsely claimed that a Washington Post story on a new White House cost estimate for the Medicare prescription drug benefit had reported that "the new estimate contradicted an earlier 10-year forecast." In fact, the February 9 article [1] never reported that the new estimate "contradicted" an earlier estimate, only that the new estimate indicated that the benefit would cost hundreds of billions more in later years than most people expected based on previous estimates. The co-author of the article was Washington Post staff writer and FOX News contributor Ceci Connolly [2], who regularly appears on the "FOX All-Star Panel" on Hume's show, Special Report with Brit Hume.
From "The Grapevine [3]" segment of the February 10 edition of Special Report with Brit Hume:
HUME: The White House has asked The Washington Post to issue a correction of its story yesterday that said White House officials have raised the estimated 10-year cost of Medicare's prescription drug benefit to $1.2 trillion. Other newspapers, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, reported a much smaller estimate. The Post also reported that the new estimate contradicts an earlier 10-year forecast, but that earlier forecast covered a different 10-year period. The Post declined to publish a correction and repeated essentially the same assertions in a follow-up story today.
The truth is that the Post did not report that the estimate had been "raised," let alone that it "contradicted" an earlier estimate, and the Post noted that the new estimate covered different years than earlier estimates. The Post explained:
The most significant change, he [Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mark B. McClellan] said, is that the new budget projections tally the cost of drug benefits for 10 years. Projections made in 2003 included the two transition years before the drug coverage is fully implemented in 2006.
The Post's lead did report that the new figure is "a much higher price tag than President Bush suggested when he narrowly won passage of the law in late 2003," but this is an accurate characterization. Prior to its passage, Bush cited [4] a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimate showing that the cost would be $405 billion from 2004 to 2013. A later estimate [5] by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), released after Congress narrowly passed the bill, estimated the cost at $534 billion over the same period. Neither estimate offered reason to expect such dramatic increases just beyond the horizon.
Hume's claim that "other newspapers ... reported a smaller estimate" obscures the fact that the White House acknowledges that the cost of the drug benefit itself will be $1.2 trillion. The "smaller estimate" results from subtracting from this figure various projected cost savings and offsets included in the drug benefit legislation, which the White House said will reduce the net cost of the 2003 legislation to about $720 billion. The Post accurately reported this detail as well:
Last night, he [McClellan] acknowledged that the cumulative cost of the program between 2006 and 2015 will reach $1.2 trillion, but he cited several major savings and offsets that he said will reduce the federal government's bottom-line cost to $720 billion.
The main difference between the Post's February 9 article and the "other newspapers" Hume cited was the headline. For its February 9 article [6] on the issue, The New York Times put the $720 billion figure in its headline, rather than $1.2 trillion, but like the Post, the Times noted that the difference between the two figures is the result of White House cost-saving estimates:
Estimates prepared by the chief Medicare actuary show that the spending for the prescription drug benefit will total $1.2 trillion from 2006 to 2015, before taking account of income that will offset some of that cost. Dr. McClellan tried to reconcile the numbers on Tuesday night. He said ... the $1.2 trillion showed ''gross costs'' and did not reflect the premiums that would be paid by Medicare beneficiaries, compulsory contributions by states or savings to Medicaid that would result from the new law.
The Wall Street Journal published [7] a February 9 Associated Press article on the estimate, which also noted that projected cost savings reduced the gross estimate:
The $724 billion figure is related to the president's Monday budget request to Congress. Without anticipated savings included in the calculation, the cost of the program over the next decade could swell to $1.19 trillion, according to the documents.

For someone who is on 90210 — there's a new one, and that's perfectly fine that you didn't know that — 26-year-old Gillian Zinser is a lot more like the "normal" women you see regularly on MeInMyPlace.com. She has one of those Tumblrs and she looks like she came out of the DVD extras of Dazed and Confused and she travels a lot for no apparent reason and she talks about things like "the responsibility of artists." And yet: "I've never considered myself hip or in the know or cool by any means." Well you should know her soon, not as your teenage cousin's favorite hip surfer girl so much as one of those hippies in the new Oliver Stone movie about pot and guns and NAVY Seals. And because she invited us over. —The Editors

Babinski reflexReflex - Babinski; Extensor plantar reflex; Babinski sign
Babinski reflex is one of the reflexes that occurs in infants. Reflexes are responses that occur when the body receives a certain stimulus.
The Babinski reflex occurs after the sole of the foot has been firmly stroked. The big toe then moves upward or toward the top surface of the foot. The other toes fan out.
This reflex is normal in children up to 2 years old. It disappears as the child gets older. It may disappear as early as 12 months.
When the Babinski reflex is present in a child older than 2 years or in an adult, it is often a sign of a brain or nervous system disorder. Disorders may include:
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig disease)
- Brain tumor or injury
- Meningitis
- Multiple sclerosis
- Spinal cord injury, defect,or tumor
- Stroke

Martika Elmore (Fayetteville, N.C.) picked up her 14th win of the season after going the distance in the shutout. Elmore piled up 12 strikeouts in her eight innings of work and scattered just three hits and walked one to move to 14-7 on the season. Katie-Jo Gentry pitched all eight innings for LMU and fell to 5-9 after being charged with the loss. She surrendered three runs, two earned, on nine hits.
At the plate, Brevard used nine hits to score three runs. Carlos went 2-for-4 with a run scored while Jones, Boykin, and Curlee each chipped in an RBI.
Game Two: Brevard 4, Lincoln Memorial 3
Box Score
Brevard started quickly out of the gate in the nightcap, scoring two runs in the top of the first inning. Brittany Fowler (Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA) led off the inning reaching safely on an error. Dorsey went to lay down a sacrifice bunt, but was able to get a single out of it, pushing Fowler to second. Mallory was hit by a pitch in the next at-bat to load up the bases. Fowler scored while Kayla Clemens (Sebring, Fla.) was at the plate. Fowler came in on a passed ball. Clemens laid down a squeeze bunt to score Dorsey, putting Brevard up 2-0 after a half-inning of play.
The Railsplitters return-fired in the bottom half when they plated a pair of runs on four hits and one Brevard error.
Lincoln Memorial took their only lead of the doubleheader when they scored a run in the second. The Railsplitters scored an unearned run off of a Tornados' error, giving them a 3-2 lead heading into the third.
Brevard didn't answer until the fourth inning. Clemens led off with a single to left field and advanced to second on a fielding error by the left fielder. Curlee laid down a sacrifice bunt to push Clemens up to third. Carlos was next to bat, and tied things up with a single through the left side, making it 3-3.
The Tornados took the final lead of the game in the seventh. Meredith Davenport (High Point, N.C.) led off the inning with a single. Fowler reached safely on an error in the next at-bat bringing Dorsey to the plate. Dorey laid down a sacrifice bunt moving Davenport and Fowler up a bag.

Samsung Electronics has developed and started sampling 100GB, 200GB and 400GB MLC solid state drives (SSDs) for use as the primary storage in enterprise storage systems, according to the company.
By employing 30nm-class MLC NAND flash chips with a Toggle DDR interface and a controller that uses a 3Gb/s SATA interface, the performance of Samsung's new MLC-based SSDs closely approaches or even exceeds some of the SLC NAND-based SSDs now in the marketplace, the company claimed.
The new drives can process random read commands at 43,000 IOPS and random writes at 11,000 IOPS. This compares to a 15K RPM HDD which has an IOPS rate of 350, amounting to a 120X gain in random IOPS read performance and a 30X gain in random IOPS write performance.
In terms of power consumption, the new enterprise SSDs have a 150 times higher IOPS/Watt rate compared to 15K RPM HDDs, making them able to process 150 times more data while consuming the same amount of energy. In addition, the new Samsung SSD features an "end-to-end data protection" function with advanced data encryption algorithm to assure reliability and security for the drive.
Starting January 2011, Samsung will begin mass producing its new MLC-based enterprise drives.

Freed Journalist Arrives Back in US
(NEWSER) – Peter Curtis has made it back to the US and been reunited with his mother after nearly two years in the hands of Syrian militants.
"I have been so touched and moved, beyond all words, by the people who have come up to me today—strangers on the airplane, the flight attendants, and most of all my family—to say welcome home," the journalist said after flying from Tel Aviv to Boston via Newark, arriving at Logan Airport yesterday evening.
Curtis, who was freed by the Nusra Front groupover the weekend, said he was "deeply indebted" to those who worked for his release, reports the AP.
Curtis says he will talk to media after he spends time with his family

The gold-medal victory by the Canadian men's curling team from St. John's became the Miracle on Ice.
By blending the technical aspects of curling and the personalities of the players, CBC turned the historic win into a three-hour drama that will be replayed for years.
CBC added its own personal touch before the game by interviewing Bob Cole, a competitive curler from Newfoundland well before he became the voice of hockey in Canada.
Then came a moving portrait of skip Brad Gushue and his mother Maureen, who was stricken with cancer last August and couldn't make the trip to see her son in the Winter Olympics.
CBC's curling trio of host Don Wittman and analysts Mike Harris and Joan McCusker set up the game by noting that Finnish skip Markku Uusipaavalniemi -- also known as M-15 -- would not be a walkthrough for Gushue's foursome, or so it seemed. The announcers provided interesting tidbits about the Finnish skip, who had become so serious about the game he put up his own money to build a curling rink in Helsinki.
When Wittman noted Uusipaavalniemi once put together a Rubik's Cube in 25 seconds, it coincided with the first of many risky moves that went awry for the Big Finn.
"He's a smart man, but I don't think this is well thought out," McCusker said when Uusipaavalnieimi attempted a tricky hit in the third end instead of trying a safer draw shot.
The trio offered insight into the strange ice conditions that seemed to be playing havoc with the rocks and the amazing performance by Canadian third Mark Nichols, who made difficult shots look easy.
The commentators had fun talking about Russ Howard and his penchant for yelling and his lack of sweeping prowess. The 50-year-old Ontario native, now living in New Brunswick, was added to the team of 20-somethings in October for his expertise in calling the game.
In the sixth end, when the Finnish skip missed his final shot to allow the Canadians a chance to blow the game wide open by scoring six to lead 10-3, Harris said: "I think the party can start on George Street."
After the Finnish skip surrendered, Wittman proclaimed: "A gold medal for Canada. Let the party begin."
What followed became a audio-visual example of the beauty of miking curlers. Gushue called his mother on a cell phone and CBC picked up the conversation.
"I love you, mom," he said.
Interviewer Bruce Rennie turned an emotional interview with Gushue, who wept when asked about his mother, into some fun when he spoke to the team and wondered about their diverse musical interests.
He ended the interview with a gem by saying: "Great Big Sea in Newfoundland today stands for Canada."
Quote of the day goes to Harry Neale, who said: "The only thing sharper than a Gillette Blue Blade is the Finnish hockey team." ... Covering the Olympics must be a tough assignment. TSN's James Duthie has a splint on one of his pinky fingers ... It has been days since the Canadian men's hockey team was ousted and Ron MacLean wants us to know "nobody should worry about Canada or its hockey."

The wind should become light for the weekend. Should be fun. Bigger the further south you go, so OBX will be solid, and smaller as you head north to Jersey (but still fun). Tides are crucial for these types of swells, so get on that mid incoming tide.
Yeah its been pretty fun here in northern ocean county, the winds have been WAY lighter than forecasted, it was glassy this afternoon. There's some nice juice behind them but it's a bit warbly and funky though very fun. Last night was fun too, it really isn't that choppy.
I spoke to soon. Right before dark, when the tide came in, it started doing it's thing out there. A certain spot got ridiculously long lefts and super rippable. Word. Better part is, it was only my best friend and my little brother out. NO ONE ELSE? I love it.
well just get ready for sunday. cause then its gonna be me and a hundred other kooks down there in rodanthe. sorry budd
You coudln't find the spot I was surfing if you tried. sorry bud, this weekend will be flat!
should be pretty fun in rodanthe on Sunday. but, i'm sure you wont be alone.
jeez oblove... touchy touchy. Hmmmmm, shipwrecks or somewhere just south of buxton maybe. and sunday is going to fire.
just joshing you. I am jealous. I want to live in R. Island so bad. I dream of surfing that place when the hurricane souths start coming. I never caught it good up there yet. I have seen videos that make it look as good as anywhere in the world. Long lefts, not buxton, not even close...haha!:D
RI gets good moslly in the winter, and it is COLD! No, I mean REALLY COLD. Hurricane swell there can be good because of the underwater structure, but it is inconsistent, and most of the summer is close to dead flat. Think about west coast if you want consistent surf.:)
P.S. It is always good to hear that east coast secrets spots are out there! That is part of the adventure!

WHAT: Geranium wlassovianum, also known as cranesbill, is a hardy geranium noted for its good foliage throughout the growing season.
Its lobed, softly hairy leaves are reddish purple when they emerge in spring and turn dark green by summer.
Cut this perennial to the ground in late fall or early winter. It can be divided every three to four years in late winter to early spring.
WHY PLANT IT: From summer to fall, cranesbill produces 1-inch, purple-pink blossoms with white centers and darker veins. These long-lasting, funnel-shaped blooms are in loose clusters.
The flowers are produced in small quanitites, but it is one of the first and one of the last geraniums to bloom. Its leaves turn yellow then red in autumn,
WHERE: This hardy geranium prefers full sun but tolerates light or open shade with rich moist to well-drained soils. For the longest flowering and best bloom provide regular watering during prolonged dry spells.
SIZE: The compact cranesbill forms a leafy mound 24 inches high and wide.

What is the power of one book? Can it do more than enlighten and entertain individual readers? Can it impact the heart and soul of a community, help us to open new lines of communication and lay the groundwork for a stronger and better Forsyth County? We believe that On the Same Page, the Library's community book reading program, has the potential to do just that. On the Same Page seeks to broaden appreciation of literature through the shared experience of reading and discussing a single work of literature. It offers us a unique opportunity to see things through a different perspective, one that will only expand our understanding of the world around us.
The Forsyth County Public Library also sponsors an annual celebration of poetry that complements On the Same page, called On the Same Poem, in which participants read and discuss a single poem.
Now in its 16th year, On the Same Page continues!
2016 Book Selection
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver
September 10 to October 15, 2016
When bestselling author Barbara Kingsolver, her husband Steven, and their daughters Camille and Lily moved from the literal food desert of Tucson, Arizona to lush farmland in Virginia, they made a pledge: For one year, they wouldn't eat anything they couldn't either grow themselves or purchase from a local grower. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is the story of that year. Follow Kingsolver and her family as they stalk the "vegetannual," raise their own chickens, make creative use of a bumper zucchini crop, and learn the ins and outs of turkey breeding. The book is equal parts funny, informative, and heart-warming, and we're thrilled to feature it for On the Same Page.
Join us this fall for a month-long series of programs building off of the themes of farming and good nutrition. It all begins with our kickoff event at the Bookmarks Festival on Saturday, September 10 and it culminates in a finale at Reynolda House Museum of American Art on Saturday, October 15 at 2:00. Click here for a full schedule of On the Same Page book discussions, film screenings, lectures, and other related events!

Additional Information
Take care when using wax products
When using ARMOR ALL High Performance Wax & Polish or other wax products, I avoid contact with glassed surfaces of the vehicle. Wax on glassed surfaces forms a coating, which can smear and consequently reduce visibility
Removing fingerprints from windows
The easiest way to remove those annoying fingerprints from your windows is to use ARMOR ALL® Glass Cleaner Wipes. One wipe does an entire window.
How to wash your car without damaging the paintwork
When washing my car I use 2 sponges. Why? The first I use for the paintwork and glass, the second for cleaning wheels, mudflaps, unpainted bumpers and tyres. I find this prevents damaging my car's paintwork with excessive dirt and road grit that can accumulate in old sponges.
You must always remember to do this first
Regardless of the surface that you're working with, it must be clean before you begin to protect or polish it. This applies to every surface of your vehicle - both inside and out.
You can use Protectant on many surfaces
Along with the dashboard, Armor All® Protectant is effective for other surfaces such as tyres, door panels, consoles, window trim, bumpers, vinyl tops and more. Not for use: on floors, vehicle controls (pedals, steering wheels and control grips), bench or cycle seats, cycle tyres and other surfaces where slipperiness may be hazardous.
How to care for your leather interior.
Forget about separate leather cleaners and conditioners. Guard your leather upholstery against spills and stains while protecting it from UV damage with ARMOR ALL 2 in 1 Leather Protectant. This will save you plenty of time and money.
How to achieve a natural interior shine.
Protect your car's plastic, rubber and vinyl surfaces from the UV damage and maintain a natural low shine finish to minimise window glare, by using ARMOR ALL New Car Protectant. To avoid spraying other surfaces, spray onto a soft cloth then apply.
Wax & Polish
For a quick touch up
After washing and chamois your car. For that quick touch-up I use ARMOR ALL Spray on Shine. It's a great way to keep your car looking like new in between waxing.
How to make waxing easy
You don't need to apply a thick coat when waxing. A thin and even coat will protect your car's paintwork. To achieve this, apply ARMOR ALL High Performance Wax & Polish using a damp cotton cloth and wipe off using a clean, dry, cotton cloth.
Take care when using wax products
When using ARMOR ALL High Performance Wax & Polish, I avoid contact with glassed surfaces of the vehicle. Wax on glassed surfaces forms a coating, which can smear and consequently reduce visibility.
You must always remember to do this first
Regardless of the surface that you're working with, it must be clean before you begin to protect or polish it. This applies to every surface of your vehicle - both inside and out.
Wheels & Tyre Care
How to achieve a great shine on your tyres
ARMOR ALL Extreme Tyre Shine gives your tyres high-gloss, long-lasting shine that keeps them looking like new longer. To achieve maximum shine, let stand for 15 minutes after first application, then repeat.
The best way to protect your wheels from brake dust
Prevent brake dust from bonding to and damaging your wheel surfaces by regular use of ARMOR ALL Wheel Cleaner. Once clean, you can further enhance their appearance by drying them with a soft cloth to prevent spotting.
You cannot afford not to protect your tyres & wheels
A new set of tyres can be very costly. To protect your investment and keep your tyres from fading and cracking, apply ARMOR ALL Protectant and ARMOR ALL Wheel Ceaner every time you wash your car.

General Dwight Eisenhower challenged his troops with these words, "There are no victories at discounted prices." Many centuries prior, Columba of Iona, a 6th century missionary credited with spreading Christianity to present-day Scotland, once asked the question, "What is best for the Christian life? Simplicity and single-mindedness."
As Paul concludes his epistle to the Philippians with the words recorded in 4:21-23, there is a third evidence of The Triumph of the Gospel that reveals the simplicity, the selfless, sacrificial mindset, and single-minded devotion to Christ that characterized the early Church. It challenges us to get engaged in God's Kingdom work by being a witness for Christ and to advance His triumphant gospel. Are you giving evidence of the triumph of the Gospel in your own life?
This message is the second of a two-part message from Philippians 4:21-23.

This is not really a race, but a goal of mine. I want to be on every single marketplace. Why? Firstly, because that sounds super fun. Also, the better I understand each technology, the better I'll be.
Currently ScottWills has the most with 7. There are no authors who are on 6 and a few with 5. I just got my first file accepted to 3dO which gives me 5 (though I need to delete my 1 TF item).
Anyone want to join me?! Even if it just means getting on one more (or your first), this should be fun!
PS – I talked to staff (myself) and they said it's okay if you post a link to an item as long as it's a brand new marketplace for you.
I'm in .
At the moment I'm in 4 different marketplaces but I plan to concord most of them not sure how long will it take me. This is great thing to do it's fun, educational and good for business.
Thanks for starting this thread @dxc381 it makes even more interesting
We've been waiting for you on CC Lance
Haha sounds great, I'm in also, currently on 5
I slowly expanded to 5 marketplaces and am currently working on strengthening those foundations before I continue building the "empire"
But yeah, challenge accepted, I'd like to expand to more marketplaces, as each new marketplace brought me new knowledge, challenges and fun (apart from business advantages )

haha, you sweet talker you
Hey Lance, it's great to hear from you… it's been ages.
Yeah, I always thought about stepping into all marketplaces, but I'm not sure I'll find my way into CC, 3DO or VH… well but it's definitely worth the try.
I'm on 5 planning for the 6th TF (I hope)
If my plans go right, I may join the 5 marketplaces club within the end of 2013 through VH & TF.
btw, since you have more communications with staff (yourself ) can you request this for authors? The earnings page needs a filter to list individual marketplace earnings, that would be helpful even for authors having 2 marketplace items.
Very nice! Currently I am on 5, also think about VH and maybe CC, but absolutely don't know hot to get on TF and Tuts

"This isnt stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
What if this wasn't a rhetorical question?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
If TCU wasn't a "little guy", wouldn't they be playing for the National Championship?
I would call them the odd man out in a year with three undefeated teams and they clearly have a weaker schedule than the two UNDEFEATED teams playing for the NC. Under the current system, I don't think it has anything to do with them being the "little guy."
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
The BCS strives to match up the two most deserving teams, not necessarily the two "best" teams. Given the three undefeated teams, the BCS got it right in leaving TCU out.
What if this wasn't a rhetorical question?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
They play the guys on their schedule. They'd probably play better teams if the opportunity was there, but they (quite literally) have no control over who they play.
It's a crap industry that continues to punish teams for not being "forward thinking" 50-60 years ago in their conference alignments.

LISTEN: Audien Remixes Michael Jackson's 'Slave To The Rhythm'
Listen to Audien Radio on iHeartRadio
After his remix of Bastille's "Pompeii," Audien has taken on another pop artist to remix ... but not just any pop artist - the KING of Pop. The young producer/DJ has put his spin on Michael Jackson's "Slave To The Rhythm."
[RELATED: Fedde Le Grand's Top Three Michael Jackson Hits]
Audien is the first artist to be commissioned to remake Michael's classic, which was originally released in 1989. Audien doesn't stray too far from the original with his remix, but brings Michael's late '80s hit into the 21st century with a modern, electronic twist.
Audien's "Slave To The Rhythm" remix is out now. Check it out below!

Did you know that today is the most depressing day of the year? "Blue Monday" is always the 3rd Monday of January and it is a downer for many reasons: it's the beginning of a new year, it's cold, resolutions are starting to crack, people are sick, and … well, it's January. How am I feeling on this Blue Monday? I'm actually feeling much better as I start to get rid of the cold I had last week. And even better than that, today starts the countdown to Rachael Ray!!! 😀 Be sure to set your DVR's this Thursday (the 20th) because I'm going to be on TV in my BIKINI!!! Click here to read about the segment on the Rachael Ray Show website. I've also created a public event on Facebook that you can RSVP to here.
And I have another reason why this Blue Monday isn't so blue after all… my sister Christy basically gave me a whole new wardrobe!!! After having her baby Anna Marie last February, she had to buy a lot of clothes in a size or two bigger than she normally wears. She eventually lost all of her baby weight, so the new clothes she bought no longer fit. Soooo, she gave them to me!! 😀 I really, really needed some new threads. While I have purchased a few items since losing almost 50 pounds, I was still in desperate need of a wardrobe make-over. And out of blue, I got one! Thank you so much Christy for being so generous. I hope to return the favor one day!
I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but last night finally I added a page to this blog that only shows the weekly weight-loss bikini photos that I took. You can view my transformation by clicking on "Bikini Photos" in the top navigation bar.
Before I go, I want to share a little sunshine on this Blue Monday. If you haven't had a chance to check out Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign, then I hope you will today! It's all about reversing the childhood obesity epidemic and full of great ideas to start doing so. Even the mayor of Newark, New Jersey is jumping on board by losing a few pounds himself. Read Cory Booker's inspiring blog post here. A big THANK YOU to my friend Amanda Storey for sharing these links with me last night. She also has an amazing blog called Food Revival that you absolutely must check out!

New Book HighlightsWednesday, January 19th, 2011
God in the details : American religion in popular culture edited by Eric Michael Mazur and Kate McCarthy, 2nd ed.
"Exploring the blurred boundary between religion and pop culture, God in the Details offers a provocative look at the breadth and persistence of religious themes in the American consciousness. This new edition reflects the explosion of online activity since the first edition, including chapters on the spiritual implications of social networking sites, and the hazy line between real and virtual religious life in the online community Second Life. Also new to this edition are chapters on the migration of black male expression from churches to athletic stadiums, new configurations of the sacred and the commercial, and post 9/11 spirituality and religious redemption through an analysis of vampire drama, True Blood. Popular chapters on media, sports, and other pop culture experiences have been revised and updated, making this an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike." –Publisher's information
The hungry world : America's Cold War battle against poverty in Asia by Nick Cullather
"A pioneering and transformative work that tracks the politics of hunger from the invention of the calorie to Asia's Cold War ideological battlegrounds, The Hungry World explores, with a sharp, lively sense of irony, American scientists' and policy-makers' relentless and often futile efforts to transmute the conflictual politics of rural deprivation into a technocratic politics of agricultural production." –Paul A. Kramer, author of The Blood of Government: Race, Empire, the United States and the Philippines
Daniel by Henning Mankell ; translated from the Swedish by Steven T. Murray
"Set in the 1870s, this earnest and heartbreaking story opens with the unsolved murder of a mentally retarded Swedish girl, but this isn't a mystery in the mode of Mankell's international bestselling Kurt Wallander novels (Firewall, etc.). Hans Bengler, a Swedish entomologist, travels across southern Africa in search of undiscovered insects. In the desert, he finds an orphaned native boy, whom he adopts on impulse and calls Daniel. Bengler brings Daniel back to Sweden to exhibit him for money. A link eventually emerges between the girl's murder and Daniel's story, which dramatically illuminates the evils of colonialism (Bengler notes that he "had to make the important decisions for these black people") and the cultural chasm between Europeans and Africans. Mankell fully understands Daniel's radically different cultural perspective and indelibly captures the boy's longing to return to his homeland and the tragic consequences of his forced exile." –Publisher's Weekly
Sheila Hicks : 50 years by Joan Simon and Susan C. Faxon ; with an essay by Whitney Chadwick
"Sheila Hicks (born 1934) is a pioneering artist noted for objects and public commissions whose structures are built of color and fiber. This volume accompanies the first major retrospective of Hicks's work; it documents the remarkable versatility and dramatically divergent scale of her textiles as well as her distinctive use, and surprising range, of materials. Hicks deliberately and provocatively engages what are often considered mutually exclusive domains, rethinking and pushing the limits of generally accepted contexts, conditions, and frameworks. These include distinct objects and temporal, performative actions; studio works and commissions for public buildings; and textiles made in artisanal workshops as well as for industrial production in places as different as Chile, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, Sweden, and the United States." –Publisher's information

bed or bath?
Hello everyone,
Should you choose a birth in bed or a birth in bath, pros and cons? Or something third
I had a home birth in a birthing pool. My friend had a home birth in her bed.
I think the warm water from the pool really helped me (and probably the baby too). I would like to hear what are your experiences. Do you have a favorite and why?
12th February 2014 07:21 AM #2
Dear Tristana,
Many women find birthing in warm water to help them in labour. However, it is not for everyone; some women do prefer to birth on 'dry land' . It is important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of a Waterbirth and then make an informed decision.
Many women found, as you describe above, that the warm water helps to act as a natural painkiller. It can also help a woman to relax (simulating the effects of having a warm bath) which in turn means that the labour is more likely to be easier and smoother. This then means that a women is less likely to have medical interventions (and the associated risks of these).
Another advantage of a Waterbirth is that the birthing pool automatically gives a woman a personal space in which to birth. This makes it easier for her to turn off outside distractions and go within herself; again making a smooth labour more likely.
However, the later advantage could also be achieved without using water. Particularly if a woman is having a homebirth anyway she should be able to find a quiet, comfortable space in which to labour in.
In terms of the disadvantages of birthing in water; one is that you cannot use a tens machine in water. Sometimes being in a birthing pool can slow labour down too much that the midwife may consider whether getting out the birthing pool for a period of time is best. Indeed, it is recommended that you don't get into a birthing pool until you are in active labour. It is important to keep well hydrated if you have a Waterbirth. The temperature of the birthing pool also needs to be carefully maintained.
Personally speaking, I have found that being partly submerged in warm water helped me to relax and 'let go' in my labours. It is also easier to move around in the water and find a position that you feel comfortable in (this is known as 'increased mobility').
Thank you for posting this interesting question.
I look forward to reading other forum members experiences of birthing in and outside of water.
Best wishes,

The Yes To product families do not contain animal ingredients with the exception of Honey Extract and Beeswax. Both of these ingredients are derived naturally from bees. Do the products really contain carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes? Yes, Yes To products actually contain carrot juice, cucumber extract, and tomato extract among other vegetables and fruits. They may even help you get in your 5 veggies a day! Will Yes To Carrots products make my skin turn orange? No, they will not. Will Yes To hair care products adversely affect my color treated hair? Yes To suggests using their Yes To Cucumbers hair care line. It is formulated especially for color-treated hair, and should not affect your gorgeous locks! My baby seems to have had a reaction to a Yes To Baby Carrots product. What should I do? Please stop using the product and call your medical professional. What is Isopropyl Myristate? What are the sources of this ingredient? Is it natural? Isopropyl Myristate 95% NF/EP (National Formulary/European Pharmacopeia) is derived from natural vegetable oil. This ingredient is 'kosher certified' and used in kosher foods (certification available). What is Phenoxyethanol? Is this an ethoxylated ingredient? Do any of the Baby Carrots products have ethoxylated ingredients? If so, how does Yes To remove the dioxan 1,4 from these ingredients? No, none of the Baby Carrots ingredients are ethoxylated. Phenoxyethanol is a form of natural alcohol and is derived from either Rose Oil or Green Tea; in this case Yes To uses Phenoxyethanol derived from Green Tea. This ingredient has nothing to do with the ethoxylation process, and therefore does not involve any stripping processes. The role of Phenoxyethanol in Yes To products is to prevent and retard microbial growth, and thus protect their products from spoilage. What is Citric Acid? Is this natural? Citric acid exists in a variety of fruits and vegetables, most notably citrus fruits. This ingredient is sourced primarily from lemons and limes, and is 100% natural. What is Retinyl Palmitate? How does Yes To source this ingredient, and is it natural? Retinyl Palmitate is produced from Retinol (Vitamin A) and is sometimes referred to as Vitamin A Palmitate. The precursors of Retinyl Palmitate are: (a) beta-carotene e.g. carrots (b) Palm Oil. Yes To extracts Retinyl Palmitate by crushing the carrots and then extracting the ingredient using heat. Are the Baby Carrots products Gluten Free? Yes. All five of the Baby Carrots products are gluten free. What is Tocopheryl Acetate? Where does this ingredient come from? Tocopherol, a fat-soluble vitamin, is found in vegetable fats and oils, dairy products, meat, eggs, cereals, nuts, and leafy green and yellow vegetables. It is usually present in a form as alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta- Tocopherol. The alpha form has the same biological activity as vitamin E. Tocopherols can be produced from vegetable oils or can be synthesized. Tocopherol Acetate is the ingredient used in Yes To products, and is derived from the etherification of Tocopherol with acetic acid. This ingredient is also frequently the source of vitamin E in dietary supplements. Is Glycerin vegetable based? The glycerin used in Yes To products is sourced from vegetable fats and oils. What is the difference between Yes To Carrots, Yes To Tomatoes, Yes To Cucumbers and Yes To Blueberries? Yes To Carrots products are formulated for normal-to-dry skin and hair types. Yes To Cucumbers are formulated for sensitive skin types and color-treated hair. Yes To Tomatoes products are formulated for oily/combination skin types and fine/thin hair. And Yes To Blueberries products are formulated to fight the signs of aging. How do I know which line is right for me? Yes To believes that everyone has their own special 'recipe' of Yes To products. Can I use products from more than one of Yes To's lines? Of course! Yes To encourages all customers to find their own, perfect 'recipe' from Yes To's three lines. What are the special benefits of fruits and vegetables? It depends on which one! Please see each individual product page to learn more about the benefits of their wonderful ingredients. In general, Yes To believes that what you put ON your body is as important as what you put IN your body. This is why Yes To believes in the power of fruits and vegetables in their products. What are parabens? Parabens are a class of preservatives found in many cosmetic products. Although some parabens are found in nature, most parabens are synthetically derived. Yes To strives to create products with as many natural ingredients as possible, and therefore, they choose to use preservatives other than parabens. Are all Yes To products all natural?

While their products are not made for animal use, customers have told Yes To they work beautifully when bathing their pets. Yes To suggests discussing this with you vet prior to use.

Not only are their products all more than 95% naturally derived, but they will give you the results you want! Yes To's unique blend of fun, guilt-free pricing and awesome products is what sets them apart. Are the Baby Carrots products clinically tested? Yes.

Yes To performed and passed the following tests: Pediatric In-Use Dermatological Safety test Hypoallergenic Dermatological Tested (RIPT - 'Repeat Insult Patch Testing') Tear-Free Repeat Microbial Safety Challenge tests What is Yes To's Position on Animal Testing? Yes To is against animal testing, and they ensure all of their manufacturers adhere to this same principle. Yes To is committed to partnering with global agencies to eliminate animal testing, find safe and effective testing alternatives, and ensure product and consumer safety. Yes To's Story Once upon a time, Yes To had a big idea. "Let's create" (they said) "a line of natural skin and hair care that actually works (no more compromising!)...is guilt-free (no more breaking the bank!)...is all about positivity (no more anti-this and anti-that!)...and let's make our products with organic fruits and veggies (a vitamin-packed punch!). And of course let's make the entire line free of parabens, petroleum, SLS, and phthalates (ahh...so clean!)." And from there, Yes To was born. With five unique families, the Yes To collection has an amazing array of products to help every customer create their own 'recipe' of natural goodness. And in less than 5 short years, Yes To is a global leader in natural beauty (imagine that!) and can be found in over 28,000 stores (from the biggies to the mom & pops...Yes To loves 'em all!) in over 25 countries. Phew! It's been a wild ride. Come join the fun. Come say yes. Yes To Mission At Yes To, their mission is simple. Yes To strives to make affordable, kick-butt products that work and make people feel good. Yes To believes in making sustainability a way of life - in their products, their partners, and the way they try to live their lives as a company (and as people!). All of Yes To's products are at least 95% natural, all packaging they use is recyclable, and they give back to the communities around them through their Yes To Seed Fund. And Yes To's team is committed to taking steps to lead greener and more 'aware' lifestyles (organic fruit deliveries! recycling! team yoga!), since they believe a healthy, happy team makes everything a little bit better. Yes To knows it's a lofty goal, but they want to make the world a better place...one jar of lotion at a time.

BRONSON -- Williston City Council member Debra F. Jones said Nov. 6 that the city may stop having garbage service as a result of an increase in fees by Levy County.
The County Commission approved the increase 4-1, with Commissioner Nancy Bell casting the dissenting vote. This is the first time in 18 years that dumping fees increased at the landfill. The new rates take effect Nov. 30.

Dragons' Cueto throws another gem
Right-hander extends scoreless streak to 19 innings
By Daren Smith / MLB.com | May 25, 2006 5:13 PM ET
Cueto ran his scoreless streak to 19 innings with seven frames of two-hit ball as the Dragons held on for a 3-2 victory over the South Bend Silver Hawks at Stanley Coveleski Regional Stadium.
The 20-year-old right-hander has been virtually unhittable in his last three starts, limiting Midwest League foes to three hits and two walks while striking out 22. He has not lost since April 10 and has not given up a run since May 8 against Cedar Rapids.
Cueto (5-1) surrendered five runs in his first start of the season but has yielded only eight since, lowering his ERA to 2.49. Opponents are hitting just .151 against him, a figure that drops to .106 on the road.
Against South Bend, a team that was held to one hit by West Michigan in its last game on Tuesday, Cueto gave up a two-out single to Trey Hendricks in the second inning before retiring the next 13 batters. The string was broken by Leyson Septimo's leadoff single in the bottom of the seventh.
As soon as Cueto exited, the Silver Hawks sliced their deficit to 3-2. Ricardo Sosa delivered a two-out double off reliever Logan Ondrusek and Frank Curreri followed with his first homer of the season. Pinch-hitter Greg Thomson greeted reliever Blake Hendley with another double, but Pedro Ciriaco flied out to end the threat.
Hendley gave up a leadoff single to Septimo in the ninth but got 2005 top overall draft pick Justin Upton to hit into a double play, then retired Bryan Byrne on a groundout for his 11th save.
Habelito Hernandez staked Cueto to an early lead with a two-run homer, his first, in the second. The Dragons got a key insurance run in the eighth on Brandon Szymanski's RBI double.
All three runs were charged with South Bend starter Cody Evans (1-6), who gave up five hits and two walks while striking out five. The 22-year-old right-hander has lost his last three starts.

Plus Size Underwire Bras
Bits of Lace plus size underwire bras offer elegant and beautiful support. Enjoy these sexy selections from your favorite brands and feel a fit and comfort unlike anything you've ever experienced. Our plus size wired bras are available in both molded and contour cups; some basic, some with sexy embellishments. Whatever you choose, rest assured that you will look flawless and fabulous.
Underwire bras have a built in wire into the underside of the cup of the bra, which is intended to life, separate, shape and provide additional support. The bras are most useful to women with a fuller bust in order to minimize discomfort and maximize lift, but any woman can benefit from the support an underwire can bring. Our plus size underwire bras come in all shapes and sizes and have been in widespread in use since the twentieth century. They are a staple of any woman's bra collection and easily available.
The wire of the underwire bra is usually made of metal or plastic. It is sewn into the bra fabric and under each cup from the center to the armpit. Many types of bras utilize this underwire to support the breasts such as demi bras, full cup bras, plunge bras, nursing bras, and even bodysuits. These types are all different but all use the underwire in the same manner. Its solid construction and versatility adds comfort and support to any style. These bras are among highest growing segment of the bra market as of 2005 and are even used in swimsuits as well. These bras have been known to cause health problems and pain if not worn correctly. Most women don't even know they are wearing a bra incorrectly, for this please refer to our fitting guide on the front page.
These bras are the go to bras for most women. Be it a night out on the town or a romantic date they will always support and shape to impress. Take care to hand-wash your underwire bra or machine wash only on a "delicate" cycle. This is to prevent the underwire from separating from the bra and ripping through the fabric. Because these bras are so widespread in use they face increased scrutiny. The concept of an underwire bra is not a new one, and can be traced all the way back to an 1893 patent that used a device that placed a rigid plate under the breasts for stability. All the way from maximizing cleavage presentation to reducing it or even having it already build into your clothing, the underwire is an essential part of any woman's wardrobe and cannot be forgotten. Always improving and changing with the styles or seasons, underwire bras will always be the mainstay of women across the globe.
