Maureen Dowd was one of the few journalists to win a Pulitzer Prize in the Clinton years for being critical of the Clintons, winning in 1999 for her columns during the Lewinsky scandal. So she was consistent on Sunday to proclaim Rand Paul's "aim was true" to recall when feminists went limp throughout 1998 despite Clinton's audacious adultery.
Even so, Democrats were also consistent in telling Dowd the Republicans will never regain the White House if they're "going to fight the wars of the '90s." (This, from the people who wanted to fight a war over Mitt Romney's alleged high-school haircut bullying at age 18 in 1965.)
Every time Republicans overreached and thought they had killed Clinton Inc., he bounced back and they took a whack. As Bill told Ken Gormley, the author of "The Death of American Virtue," "I felt they were Wile E. Coyote in the pack, and I was the Road Runner."
Even the conservative Dorothy Rabinowitz in The Wall Street Journal took Paul to task, noting that while the former president's choice to accept Monica's advances was "an outrage and a national embarrassment," it was not "a boss preying on an innocent."
Privately, veterans of Hillaryworld admired Paul's savvy appeal to the base. As one noted dryly, "When you're playing with the hard-core base, there's no statute of limitations on crazy fooling around with an intern in the Oval Office."
I agree that Paul's aim was true. He distracted from the Republicans' abysmal war on women by pointing at an abysmal moment in feminist history, when feminists betrayed their principles to defend a president who had behaved in a regressive way with women because he had progressive policies on women.
Dowd interviewed Sen. Paul for her column:
Senator Claire McCaskill told Andrea Mitchell that she found Paul's comments "infuriating," and that he was just "grasping," trying to show he could be tough in a bid to win the presidential nomination.
But back when McCaskill, now on Team Clinton, was trying to crush Team Clinton and get Barack Obama elected, she said this about Bill: "He's been a great leader, but I don't want my daughter near him."
Paul brought that up with me, suggesting that if McCaskill were being honest and not partisan, she would still be worried about having her daughter around Bill and that maybe there's a double standard for the famous.
"In my small town, we would disassociate, we would in some ways socially shun somebody that had an inappropriate affair with someone's daughter or with a babysitter or something like that," he said, adding: "There's no reason why we should give up on having some sort of belief in social standards" and on what's "appropriate, inappropriate, right, wrong."
Paul went a little too far in tilting toward Hillary's complete innocence in his Dowd interview, even for Dowd:
Paul told me that he thinks that Hillary is "as much a victim as anybody" in the Monica affair. It is true that Hillary was a victim — a sympathetic role that won her support and a glamorous Vogue cover and laid the foundation for her Senate run. Hillary's popularity rises whenever she is brushed back by men, whether it's her own husband or Rick Lazio in the Senate debate or Barack Obama in his "You're likable enough, Hillary" debate faux pas.
Asked if he could be helping Hillary by shaming her, Paul chuckled and said, "This isn't something we considered to be a strategy or something."
....It is not so simple to cast Hillary as a victim; she was also part of the damage-control team to vouch for her husband and undermine his mistress. White House aides and other Democrats spread the word that Monica was a troubled young woman with stalker tendencies. Sidney Blumenthal, a senior White House adviser, later testified that Hillary told him that "she was distressed that the president was being attacked, in her view, for political motives, for his ministry of a troubled person."
Monica had to be sacrificed for the greater good of the Clintons and feminist ambitions. Hillary was furious at Bill — stories were leaked that he was sleeping on the couch — but she also had to protect her political investment. If he collapsed, she was done. And she was going up — to the Senate and eventually the Oval Office.
Bill was Hillary's "political investment." Those words appeared in the Sunday New York Times.
Dowd noted how the press -- not just the news media, but glossy "hip" magazines like GQ have tried to rehabilitate Clinton: "With the passage of time and a cascade of fawning magazine covers, Bill Clinton's image has evolved, leaving the repellent sexual scandals a pentimento in a new, more magnetic portrait."
That's what Team Clinton is counting on.

The Pritchard Laughlin Civic Center was in full bloom Saturday afternoon when the ladies of the Southeastern Med Auxiliary Wing 12 presented the 46th annual Daffodil Luncheon & Style Show.
The daffodil is synonymouswith spring and has been the trademark of the event since 1978. From 1968 to 1978, the fundraiser was promoted as the women's social event of the year, highlighting various themes and held at various venues, including the first meeting at the home of the late Carabel Nicholson, then on to the Cambridge Holiday Inn, Cambridge Country Club, Salt Fork Lodge, Shenandoah Inn, and since 1993, the PLCC.
One hundred sixty patrons of the event were greeted by exhibitors who filled the Civic Center's atrium with displays of flower baskets, jewelry, and an assortment of gift items from Tailored Florist and Gifts and Susie Dodson; and everyone's favorite indulgence -- chocolate -- from Amanda Cox, owner of Nothing But Chocolate.
Tickets were available for a 50/50 raffle, Chinese auction and the 2014 Daffodil quilt, in addition to a cash bar offering the Daffodil Fizz, the official thirst quencher, and a mainstay at the event since Sonny Brown concocted the elegant elixir in 1968.
Wing 12 Chair Denise Dearth welcomed the crowd and announced the program.
An array of daffodils lined the model's runway and each table setting. Two elongated tables offered viewing of approximately 100 door prizes donated by local businesses and individuals.
The wait staff of Theo's Restaurant, caterer of the event for more than 10 years, served a chef's salad followed by a decadent dessert. After lunch the fashion show began with Suellen Johnson describing each of the 23 models' ensembles, premiering the prominent colors and styles for the 2014 spring and summer clothing lines from Cato's, Jillian's, Maurice's and J.C. Penney of Zanesville.
Makeup for the models was provided by Avon with help from Cindy Jacobs and Freda Yealey. Hair styles were by Jennifer Rossiter, owner of Genesis Hair Salon in Cambridge.
Lucky ticket holder Polly Hardy of Byesville won the beautiful Daffodil Quilt, designed and quilted by Beverly Gray of Bev's Machine Quilting and So Much More in Quaker City. The quilt became a tradition at the event in 1981.
The focus of the event remains true to tradition, raising money for projects and equipment for the hospital. Proceeds from this year's event will go toward Wing 12's pledge of $200,000, spread over a two-year period, to fund the majority of Southeastern Med's $250,000 purchase of patient lifting equipment for clinical areas.
Sponsors of the luncheon were Platinum level: Ray and Charmaine Chorey, Jim and Cheryl Keller and OKKI Energy, LLC; Gold level: Dr. and Mrs. Mark Diluciano and Andrew J. Warhola, Attorney; Silver level: Dunning Motor Sales, Inc., Southeastern Ohio Physicians Inc.; Drs. Sarap, Leslie and Paulick and an Anonymous Donor; Bronze level: Richard Baker, Attorney, Carol Goff & Associates, John W. Rust, and Pete Mikula of Edward Jones.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Sometimes dogs just have an upset stomach that cause excess salivation, but keep a close eye on her . If she shows symptoms of tremors, lethargy, vomiting or refusal of food, she may have ingested a toxic plant or chemical as this can also cause excessive salivation. Check your yard for toxic plants or anything that might seem out of place. Dogs will also do this if they are excited or nervous or anxious. Try feeding her a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice...if she is dealing with stomach upset that will help. You can also try a dose of pepto bismol providing she is not on other medications or has a known bleeding disorder. The published dose for Pepto is 1 - 3 mg/kg DIVIDED over the course of the day. Using the middle of the range, this is the equivalent of about 1 ml/lb, but this should be divded over the course of the day, One teaspoon = 5 ml; 1 table spoon = 15 ml. But if he is on Rimadyl, please do not medicate him with anything over the counter. :)
If there is ANY swelling of the abdominal area or attempt to vomit, please see your vet immediately as it may be a problem called bloat, which is life threatening.

A small tooth abscess can also cause excessive salivation. Unfortunately, there really isn't anything you can do from home if this is the cause but do see the vet tomorrow for it. :)
I wish you all the luck and hope she feels better :)

This is my 2nd baby, when I was pregnant with my Marchie, I was living in Upstate NY and didn't know a whole lot of people. I only lived there for about 3 years. So I never had a baby shower for my daughter. Now that I am living back in my hometown and know a lot of people, I was wanting to do a baby shower with this pregnancy. My mom is trying to tell me you can't do a baby shower for a 2nd pregnancy, but I never even had a baby shower, ever..
So my question is, with the situation I had just wrote out, is it ok to have a baby shower with this pregnancy?

Mary Ella's Weekly Message
June 11, 2012
June is full of graduations at every level, from kindergarten to middle school, high school and beyond. Graduation is significant. It means that one has accomplished something important and is moving ahead to something new. It marks the beginning of a new chapter in someone's life. It's the same with the FFS Online graduates, isn't it?
Think back to your first day of school. Were you eager to get started? Scared? Afraid to leave home for a classroom filled with other kids you didn't know? Participants enter the FFS Online program with the same kind of mixed emotions. Some are excited to find the program and set a quit date, others enter our virtual doors with some anxiety; they've tried to quit before and wonder if this time will be THE time. Some are angry with themselves for ever having started to smoke. As people start the program and work through the lessons, they learn about new coping techniques and new ways of doing things. They experiment with the activities that are assigned. They visit the Message Boards and find themselves surrounded by others who are experiencing some of the same feelings. Friendships begin to form and they often find buddies or BFFs in the program.
Just like with school graduations, we have graduations in the FFS Online program. We consider the FFS Online graduates to be those who have completed the modules and become smokefree. Many of our graduates stick around for a while, as you have certainly noticed.
Without program graduates, the FFS Online program would lack vital community support. Our graduates stay to reach out to "newbies" on the Message Boards. They offer encouragement, advice, a pat on the back and sometimes get tough if someone goes astray. At the same time the graduates offer support, they receive support as well. The FFS Online Community becomes a comfortable place to reinforce their decision and resolve to remain smokefree. They become mentors to those just starting out.
We hope you'll stick around for a while when you graduate. Some folks stay briefly, others a long time and some just pop back in occasionally to celebrate their long-term success. No matter where you are in the continuum, you play an important part in the success of the program. Thank you for being here, for reaching out, for moving through whatever rocky emotions you may have felt at the beginning, and for reaching your goal of becoming smokefree. Cue up that great "Pomp and Circumstance" music and give yourself a huge pat on the back. You deserve to be proud of your accomplishment and to celebrate it!
If your Quit Day is this week, remember the 4 D's when you have a craving to smoke:
- Delay. The urge will pass, whether you smoke or not.
- Deep breathe. It will help relax you.
- Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated (eight, 8-oz. glasses a day).
- Do something else—get up and actually do something to distract yourself.
I'll see you on the Message Boards! :-) Mary Ella
Don't forget: If you're in the Premium program and want help fast on the Message Boards, put "HELP NOW" in the subject line of your post. If you're looking to offer help, watch for those, "HELP NOW" posts and alert your other FFS Online buddies to offer some assistance as well.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/8/2014 (1071 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
EAST St. Paul has appealed the City of Winnipeg's decision to seal off two North Kildonan roads -- but the rural municipality insists its action has nothing to do with a proposed development inside the Perimeter Highway.
In March, Winnipeg's city council approved a motion to close Raleigh Street and Gateway Road to deny access to a shopping centre proposed for a 37-acre parcel of land southwest of the corner of the Perimeter and Lagimodiere Boulevard.
While the land is in East St. Paul, there is no access to the site from the rural municipality. A subdivision proposal by Walmart and developer SmartCentres is awaiting approval from Red River Planning, the regional planning authority.
North Kildonan Coun. Jeff Browaty pushed for the road closures as a means of ensuring East St. Paul highway access to the development is constructed. Some North Kildonan residents and East St. Paul residents who live inside the Perimeter had expressed concern their residential streets will be used as access routes to the development.
East St. Paul Mayor Lawrence Morris, however, said the city and his municipality are suffering from a misunderstanding. He said East St. Paul has appealed the city decision to close the streets to ensure existing residents continue to have access to Raleigh and Gateway.
"We're not pushing for the subdivision," Morris said in a telephone interview on Monday. "We're not sure whether they have the right to close off a street that's been there for years."
A hearing is slated to come before the provincial municipal board in September, but may be pushed back to allow Red River Planning to make its decision first.
Morris said all parties are waiting to hear whether the province will support new access from the Perimeter as part of a planned construction of a cloverleaf at the Perimeter and Lagimodiere.
Browaty said Monday in a statement development of the site is inevitable but should wait until proper transportation infrastructure is built.

Grant gets Calif. cops decoys to battle underage alcohol purchases
By Jennifer Huffman
Napa Valley Register
NAPA, Calif. — To the average Napan, a young person hanging around the outside of a liquor or convenience store might seem relatively harmless — that is, until he or she asks for help buying alcohol.
Using a grant from the state Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), the Napa Police Department conducted a decoy operation using minors on June 22 at 16 ABC-licensed businesses in Napa.
A decoy under age 21 was sent into each establishment to attempt to purchase alcohol. Twelve businesses didn't take the bait, but four others did sell alcohol to the decoy.

Chabot Small Business Legislation Passes House; President Expected to Sign Into Law
The House of Representatives today passed legislation sponsored by Congressman Steve Chabot (R-Cincinnati) to extend the authorization for the Small Business Administration (SBA) and it's critical business lending programs through July 31 2007. Funding authorization for the SBA expired on February 3rd of this year.
"It is important that we were able to get this legislation passed early in this new Congress and in a bipartisan manner," Chabot stated. "Now businesses will know that these Small Business Administration programs will be available for the coming months as we work to pass a long-term reauthorization.
Chabot's legislation was cosponsored by the new Chairwoman of the House Small Business Committee, Nydia M. Velбzquez (D-New York), and received strong bipartisan support. The legislation originally passed the House on January 17 by a 413-2 vote. On February 1, the Senate passed an amended version limiting the SBA reauthorization until the end of July. Today, the House again passed Chabot's bill, accepting the Senate changes. The legislation will now be presented to the President to be signed into law.
Some of the programs reauthorized include the 7(a) loan program, the SBA's most basic and widely used guaranteed loan; the Certified Development Company/504 loan, which provides long-term, fixed rate loans to support local economic development; the Section 8(a) program, a business development program created to help small disadvantaged businesses compete and access the federal procurement market; support for women and veteran owned small businesses; and other programs created to improve access to capital, especially for small business start-ups.

Sweetheart Spring
Our Sweetheart, Spring, came softly,
Her gliding hands were fire,
Her lilac breath upon our cheeks
Consumed us with desire.
By her our God began to build,
Began to sow and till.
He laid foundations in our loves
For every good and ill.
We asked Him not for blessing,
We asked Him not for pain
Still, to the just and unjust
He sent His fire and rain.
Sweetheart Summer
We prayed not, yet she came to us,
The silken, shining one,
On Jacob's noble ladder
Descended from the sun.
She reached our town of Every Day,
Our dry and dusty sod
We prayed not, yet she brought to us
The misty wine of God.
Sweetheart Autumn
The woods were black and crimson,
The frost-bit flowers were dead,
But Sweetheart Indian Summer came
With love-winds round her head.
While fruits God-given and splendid
Belonged to her domain:
Baskets of corn in perfect ear
And grapes with purple stain,
The treacherous winds persuaded her
Spring Love was in the wood
Altho' the end of love was hers
Fruition, Motherhood.
Sweetheart Winter
We had done naught of service
To win our Maker's praise.
Yet Sweetheart Winter came to us
To gild our waning days.
Down Jacob's winding ladder
She came from Sunshine Town,
Bearing the sparkling mornings
And clouds of silver-brown;
Bearing the seeds of Springtime.
Upon her snowy seas
Bearing the fairy star-flowers
For baby Christmas trees.

SCOTT RALL COLUMN: Flames, barbecue and the outdoor connection
WORTHINGTON -- The human/animal interaction is an ancient attraction handed down for hundreds of thousands of years. We cannot make it go away, but we can ignore it or deny it exists in us.
A speaker at the 30th annual Pheasant Fest shared an eye-opening explanation into the human/wild animal spiritual connection. Shane Mahoney gave the audience a glimpse of why every human is connected to wild animals and a few examples that neither you nor I can dispute.
The first example begins with a question. Why, with all of the modern electric lighting available to the population of the United States today, is there still a billion dollar wax candle industry in this nation? Who would need a candle? One or two candles for emergency lighting might be appropriate, but that is not a billion dollars worth of candle sales.
Why is it that when we get home after a hard day, a warm bath and the gentle flickering light of a candle soothes us?
Imagine this setting one hundred thousand years ago. Ancient man hunted a wild animal and, if successful, cooked that animal over an open fire. Open fire for cooking meat after a successful hunt was the "relax and unwind" for pre-modern people.
Whether you hunt often or never hunt, almost everyone talks about just how cool it is to sit around a camp fire. Where did this attraction come from? Hours can be spent without conversation watching a fire.
This is a connection born from ancient man killing wild animals and then sitting around a fire consuming it. You might not have ever done this, but you cannot deny that your very modern existence is and was dependent upon it by ancient hunters and gatherers. It is so deep in our evolution that it's hard to describe in words.
The next example Shane used was about cooking. When was the last time you entertained a group of friends and cooked a meal for the group at your house? If you do this very often you will often find that many of the guests will gather in the kitchen. It might be closer to the refrigerator and that is where the cold beverages might be. If you used the oven to cook a ham, turkey of something similar, how many times did your guests actually open the oven to check on the progress of the meal? They gather in the kitchen, but not at the oven.
Now take that same group of friends at an outdoor barbeque. When there is meat on the grill, almost everyone will come over and lift the lid. Why is this? Why is it that the cook gets lots of attention at a barbeque, but not in a modern kitchen?
It stems back to when man hunted and killed animals to survive. Seeing a slab of meat cooking over a fire or gas flame and hearing it sizzle as it does so is as close as modern man can get to cooking a wild animal over an open fire in the dark hundreds of thousands of years ago.
We all have an unexplainable connection to wild animals. In current culture there is only a small percentage of the population that voices concern for the preservation of wild animals and the wild spaces they occupy. This has never really been any different.
Back in the day of Teddy Roosevelt, it was he and just a handful of other individuals who campaigned for the preservation of wild spaces. Teddy, on his own in the face of intense opposition, preserved millions of acres for wild animals in national parks and other land preservation efforts. He was joined by a few others who created the modern era of wildlife conservation and the North American Model.
The North American Model is based on the fact that wild animals belong to all of the people and are not owned by the owner of the land they survived on. It was these few, courageous individuals who have created the modern day conservation movement.
What does all this really mean to you and me? What I got out of the 2½ hours that I listened to Shane Mahoney was that every person has a connection to wild animals and wild spaces, even if we don't realize it.
The next question is, what are you going to do with that connection? There is still only a small percentage of the population who will stand up and act in the defense of wild animals and wild places. This is the way it has always been and most likely will always be.
What would life on the planet be like without large wild animals? When we lose the large animals, we are soon to lose the small animals as well.
If you can get yourself involved and act, then do so. If you are not in a position or not motivated enough to do so, then at least support the organizations and individuals that are trying to make a difference in the preservation and conservation of our most important wildlife resources. It matters little which one you choose, as long as you choose one.
The list of actively engaged habitat organizations is long. Pheasants Forever, National Wild Turkey Federation, Ducks Unlimited, Trout Unlimited and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation are but a few that are willing to stand up and defend our wildlife and the wild places that sustain them.
The next time you sit around a fire or watch meat sizzling on a barbeque with friends, think about your connection to wild animals. Ask yourself if you are one of the few who will stand up and work to preserve and support the wild animals in our world. There will never be very many of us, but life is changed by the individual. You might just be that individual.

Finally, there's one major task for the month that we've accomplished last Friday.
First, let me rave how great, fast and easy it is now to undergo passport application and renewal. Big thanks to the DFA's Online Appointment System, that is, for enabling us to process ours (mine, hubby's and Asher's) unbelievably in just 30 minutes. The husband's passport has been more than a year expired while mine will expire on Feb 4th. The little one doesn't have a passport still. We aren't scheduled for any international travels soon but it's not bad if we prepare for it this early, right? Besides, I don't have any valid IDs since I'm not employed so it's just imperative to have my passport renewed. The reason why we've been delaying this task for so long is because we dread the long queues and the unsystematic way we are accustomed to and we used to hear about the process wherein you have to get to the compound and line up as early as in the wee hours of the morning. Thanks to Trixie who commented on my post and it's from her that I've first learned about the Online Appointment System wherein you can now request a schedule as to when you can go to the DFA office (applicable to DFA Manila only) for application or renewal of your passport without having to fall in long lines and wait for several number of hours. Personal appearance is required for all renewals now.
So I submitted our details last January 19 and requested 3 slots for a January 22 schedule: 2 renewal, 1 new application of Machine Readable Passports (MRP) through the MRP online appointment system. If you're still unaware, there are two types of passports currently being issued by DFA. Check out the difference between the E-passport and the MRP at DFA's site. Normally, the appointment day given is 2-3 working days after your online application. So before requesting a slot, it's highly recommended to have all the requirements ready especially those original NSO certified documents (birth, marriage, etc).
Here's a tip I stumbled upon one poster in a forum who has just renewed his passport. Although the schedule will be randomly assigned, you can actually indicate in the application your preferred date and time after your last name: Ex: DANGANAN (10AM JAN 22)
I received 3 acknowledgment emails for my request upon submission. The next day, the confirmation of our appointment was sent. I printed 3 copies of the email (1 for each applicant) and attached to our collated documents.
We arrived at the DFA compound at about 9:10 am. We had a tough time finding an available parking slot but thanks to a roadside assistance of a "barker", we're able to find one nearby.
As usual, a fixer with a seemingly DFA-issued ID, approached us pestering and trying to "assist" us. We just ignored him and went directly to the entrance at the side of Libertad St. We looked for Gate 2 then proceeded to Windows 1-4 as instructed in the email. This is the first step where all the documents will be reviewed, checked and received. Windows 1-4 are specially designated for Online Appointment Applicants while the rest of the windows (there are several of them) are for those who opt to apply passports the "regular" and "manual" way. Present the printed copy of the email confirmation of the appointment and the staff will check it on their list. There's a bench allocated for every window so we were seated the whole time we were waiting for our turn. There were about 3 applicants before us at Window 1 who were all served fairly fast. After 10 minutes, it was our turn and our documents were received. Another tip is to make sure that your documents are correct and complete for a hassle-free transaction. DFA has a complete list and you can download the application form from their site. Mention to the attending staff if you'd like to avail the regular 14 working day or the expedite 7 working day processing. We were given back our documents (including the old, cancelled passports) plus a slip that we have to present to the cashier. Since we're applying a new one for my 23 month old son, Asher, the staff requested to have my verified application form photocopied which will serve as a support document for Asher's application. No need to get out of the area should you need to photocopy something because there's one in the other side of the room at Php3/document.
Step 2: There are four lanes of Cashiers in the same room just beside Window 1. No long queues either so in less than 5 minutes we've paid for our passports.
Step 3: We proceeded to the Auditorium for the encoding of our data. Make sure to mention to the guard that you are an online appointment applicant so you will be led to Lanes 1-3. As opposed to the other lanes where the regular applicants' lines were even encircling, there wasn't any queue and we were served at Lane #1 right away. The staff encoded our data and asked us to check before he printed the forms. Then we proceeded to the stage to imprint our thumb marks and submit the documents which ends the application process.
Step 4: This is actually optional. We preferred to have our passports delivered to our home through an accredited courier instead of coming back to personal claim them on the release date so we proceeded to the basketball court. I believe all of them offer their shipping services for just Php 99/passport. We opted for 2Go's services. We're expecting the delivery a day after the scheduled release date from DFA.
In 30 minutes, we're done with the process and we were home bound. We're very satisfied and happy how fast the transaction was. It really pays if you research beforehand and come in very prepared. I feel for those applicants we left behind and endured long lines. Obviously, a lot isn't informed still and are unaware of the easier way of passport application through the Online Appointment System.
I'm also glad that we were also able to save thousands. We were almost inclined to avail the guaranteed fast but more expensive services of Teleserv (Php 1300). Thankfully, everything went well without a hassle. Kudos to DFA for implementing such a fast and easy process. Here's hoping that the other government offices and other customer-service oriented firms follow suit.

Dating Don'ts: How NOT To Date A Coworker
Q: The best part of having a workplace boyfriend?
A: Kissing on the sly in the utility closet at your office.
Q: The worst part about having an office boyfriend?
A: Your boss walking in on the two of you kissing on the sly in the utility closet at your office.
Kidding. The worst part is when you have to deal with Mr. Once-Wonderful after you dump him. Or—far worse—he kicks you to the curb. But let's try to look at the bright side. I know everyone swears that office dating is a recipe for disaster, but according to recent studies cited in Fortune and GQ magazines, somewhere between 22 and 50 percent of office romances lead to marriage. So someone's doing something right. Possibly in the cubicle right next to yours!
That said, for every office romance that culminates with an exchange of gold rings, there are many more that dissolve into tears, jeers and uncomfortable silences. My friend Desiree has had the worst luck in this department. "One time I was almost fired, and another time I was shot at—by one of my employees!"
To avoid dodging bullets—even just the metaphorical kind—here are a few things you should absolutely avoid doing when mining the office pool for love:
1. Don't jump without looking: The first few weeks on any job can be disorienting. Everything is new, somewhat terrifying and still relatively exciting. This is when you should just be working hard while surveying your surroundings.
2. Don't assume it's a secret: While discretion is a key ingredient in the successful office affair, you should assume that everyone around you knows what you're up to and with whom. Only the most oblivious coworkers won't notice long lunches, smeared lipstick and furtive glances. However, the fact that they know doesn't give you license to let loose with all the details.
3. Don't expand the definition of "work spouse" to include nudity: The whole "office wife" concept has gotten a lot of press recently, and for the most part it's innocent. She's the one who reminds him that it's his assistant's birthday and points out the ketchup stain on his cuff. But when you start sleeping with your married coworker, things tend to get very messy. June was a 22-year-old waitress when she began what she considered a carefree fling with her married manager. "At first it was exciting and the whole secrecy thing added to the allure," she told me. "But when his separation became official—I tell myself it would have happened anyway but who knows—and it all became a little too real, I had to quit."
My own office romance lasted for six years, though we stopped working together about four years in. Obviously a creature of habit, our relationship came crashing to a halt after he sparked up another office romance—with the woman in the next cubicle!

Do you know if the sleeve length is set on petite coats or does it get longer relative to the size? (Meaning, you tried a 0P and the sleeve was 20" Would it be longer on a 4P???) I am 5'3ish and the regular size 2 and 4 sleeve length is ridiculously long!!Cocohttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879961822849422387.post-35830964519609583782011-12-29T11:33:20.881-05:002011-12-29T11:33:20.881-05:00I've learned a lot about the product from your...I've learned a lot about the product from your informative review. Thanks!

I am looking at the 2011 JCrew Petite double-cloth lady day coat with Thinsulate (hthr majestic purple). I thought about P6 initially, but after reading some online reviews, I am not sure what size I should order anymore. My measurements 34-28-33, 112lbs, 5'2". I take Petite 4 in JCrew suit jacket. Your comments are greatly appreciated. email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879961822849422387.post-2248309824048284102011-01-19T10:05:04.211-05:002011-01-19T10:05:04.211-05:00I linked here from Alterations Needed. LOVE your r...I linked here from Alterations Needed. LOVE your review! I've been a JCrew Lady coat fan for years, but loved watching this just the same. JCrew HAS been getting crazy on the sizing. My 2001 (or so) Lady coat in garnet red is a size 4P (I'm 5 ft. 3/4" and 108 lbs) and my later purchases are all size 2P. At 33-26-36 (post babies!) the 2Ps I have fit me a tad wide in the shoulders, but I wanted the width in the hips, and this also allows for more layers up top. I have some with Thinsulate and some without (just depended what JCrew had left on sale!). I used to live in Southern California and got more use out of my wool coats there than here in Quebec, Canada, because it is just too windy here in the winter to use coats that don't cut the wind. I do use them in the fall and spring or when going out at night where I know I won't be out in the wind. The style is timeless, the fit is feminine, and they look great dressed up or down. JCrew's colors are great too. There is always something for every skin tone. The olive looks great on those of us with yellow skincast. Wish I'd seen this video before that color sold out online! As for the sleeves, I've seen other fashion bloggers complaining about JCrew's skimping on cut. My coats from 4 years or less back all have the too-short sleeves. The older ones hit at the first knuckle of the thumb, like they should. But for you petites that have your sleeves altered regularly even on petite sizes (I have several friends that do) you are in luck. I have longer limbs for a petite, and I suspect Jean might as well. You look fabulous and do a great job in front of the camera.

After purchasing similar things you own, I think we have similar arm lengths, so I'm glad you covered that. I've been waiting for a post like this back when I asked you about covering heavy winter wear. Though you said it probably wouldn't last during Jan/Feb in Boston, and Shorty Stories said it's not for those who plan to walk. So that is a concern. so what do y'all wear during those times? Those down puffy jackets?

For olive being such an "in" color right now, I'm awfully surprised it's the color they choose to have on sale. but hey, good for us readers & olive-obsessed fans.AubreyOhDang!http://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879961822849422387.post-5846708570254744772010-12-13T01:03:43.629-05:002010-12-13T01:03:43.629-05:00great review! the lady coat looks great on you an...great review! the lady coat looks great on you and i love all the details as well. the sleeves are a tiny bit short, but honestly not that bad. i'm glad that you were able to find a j. crew item that fit!

You've talked about their coats and how they ran small and am glad I finally gave it a try. THe color you have sounds divine!! I would love something along the lines of citron.

I wish you have photos from your experiences with the 00 regular, 0 regular, and 2P! Would've been great to add to the archives on the alterations needed forum.

I know about the wind tunnels...by the water is bad, Beacon Hill can be bad, and also even in back bay between the tall buildings, the wind can be unbearable. Thankfully my time outdoors is quick. Thank you again for recommending this coat so many times!

@yj Haha, thank you...it is an old scarf that my boyfriend picked up from Italy. One of those "pashminas" that you may be able to find at a local cart in the mall as well : )

@May How funny! It was not me...was not on that side of town today, but if you ever do spot me please, please do say hello!

Did you end up keeping the coat? Annapurna and SHorty Stories recommend long gloves, which I have, but I'm just still surprised that they haven't corrected this fit issue by now!PetiteAsianGirlhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879961822849422387.post-60982839855061277292010-12-12T18:26:22.468-05:002010-12-12T18:26:22.468-05:00@Jacqui For some reason I thought J.Crew had decen...@Jacqui For some reason I thought J.Crew had decent shipping to Canada as I saw it on Cynthia (Shorty Stories)'s blog and she lives in Cananda. But I agree returning is MUCh more of a hassle. The Gap here doesn't carry petites as well...we have to order online. Did you look online?

And thank you so much for your compliment on the makeup but it is very much in "development" stages lol. I have been experimenting with products that are easy to apply and look natural and I hope to do a video on it after I've found my perfect products. In the vid above it is makeup for ever dua mat powder foundation, cheap NYC liquid eyeliner, Shisem falsies, ELF lipstick $1 in classy, and R&R blush in tease.

@PetiteXXS I realy wish the shoulders were a little more narrow! I think we would all fare better with double breasted, belted coats. Before you return I hope you'll post some photos and a review! : )

@erin :) Welcome!

@Hui Hi Hui..the material on the different shades are hit or miss, but every pair of 00P legging jeans are TINY! Much smaller than how their 00P pants run, that's fore sure. And thank you for your compliment...I gather my thoughts before each video so I don't end up just rambling endlessly because no one likes lengthy, droning videos!

I definitely wore falsies...my natural lashes are almost nonexistent. These are Shisem brand gifted to me by DSK Stephanie and they are the ONLY pair I am comfortable with wearing in the daytime. My bf loathes the thought of fake lashes but he accepts these because they look so natural lol. They are the "XO" line and I can't find a style number on them anywhere...I must find more pairs of these...Steph said she found it in a beauty store inside a Korean grocery chain H-mart.

Wow it must've been costly to get your alterations! Maybe the 00 regular will fit you know (I just feel the 0P sleeves will be too short on taller you), since the 00P pencil skirt fits you so nicely!

@Anonymous Thank you for your compliment but I have to say this video must be terribly deceiving...my eyebrows in person are quite a weak point as I tend to overpluck and shape unevenly. They are also long and unruly which makes shaping hard. I'm looking to go get them done professionally for once but am not sure whether it's worth it!

@Stylepint Thanks Jess! A few of your fellow socal'ers got it I think. Without the thinsulate the coat is probably quite thin, but I still can't imagine rocking it in SoCal weather : )

@Gracie I hope you can find it! I popped into F21 today to look for that coral one linked but could only find the color that I already have. They had plenty, so I hope you can get yourself one : )

@Vicky Yes, really lol! Thank you for watching the review...I was sure the droning on of all the details would bore many. You did great too with your LOFT and Theory coats this season. It has just been a good coat season for petites!

@R.L. RL - what is your twitter name (I remember you mentioning you have an account)? I think you are one of my oldest readers and I've always loved reading your comments and notes starting from way back when. If you have an account, say hi on Twitter and I hope we can keep in touch there!

And I don't think this coat will be good for any colder weather. Cynthia (whom I believe lives in your city) mentioned it will not sustain colder weather.

@Mindy♥ They are NOT comfortable for the first month or so lol. It must seem ridiculous that people like me still purchase them, knowing that it will be painful. But after they are "worn in" they are very comfortable, like any shoe that is broken in, and I think they are just easy to match and I like the shape. If you're considering purchasing I wouldn't recommend the regular leather as it seems to scuff really easily! My snakeskin-embossed leather ones here also scuffed. I think patent is the most durable.

@PetiteLittleGirl Thank you Sydney, I am looking forward to see how this fits on fellow petites as well! I am bigger than Kelly and PetiteXXS so it may or may not work out for them.

@olyvia Thank you! I would say it's a dark stainy taupe. I have to say the lining is probably going to start pilling after a few wears because it is polyester, but as long as the outer holds up I am happy.

@Jackie You'll have to see if PetiteXXS posts a review! She is smaller framed than me by quite a bit, i believe so maybe it will give you a better idea of how it'll fit : )

Typhoon Haiyan: Utter destruction, Oxfam appeals for funds
Typhoon Haiyan: Utter destruction, Oxfam appeals for funds
Immediate needs are water, food, medicines and shelter
In the wake of super typhoon Haiyan, thousands are feared dead and over 4.4 million people affected across 36 provinces.
An Oxfam team of aid experts assessing level of typhoon damage in Daanbantayan, the northern-most tip of Cebu mainland, said today that nearly all the houses and buildings were damaged, power lines were down and there was no electricity in the entire municipality.
Speaking from Cebu, Oxfam's Tata Abella-Bolo said, "The scene is one of utter devastation. There is no electricity in the entire area and no water. Local emergency food stocks have been distributed but supplies are dwindling. The immediate need is water, both for drinking and for cleaning."
The Oxfam emergency team spoke of seeing children begging for assistance, holding up signs that read, "Help. We need water, food and medicines."
Roads to the area were hardly passable with trees and wreckage of houses lining the highway.
Local officials said 98 per cent of the houses and structures in the municipality were damaged. This included the town hall and a cultural centre, which served as an evacuation centre but had to be evacuated due to level of damage.
Oxfam is appealing to the public to generously support Oxfam's emergency response. Donations can be made online at www.oxfam.org.nz or by calling 0800 600 700.

"GUI ports/pkg system and based on current FreeBSD" sounds to me like what DesktopBSD did, but I haven't been involved with DesktopBSD ever since the project was "dead" and then a Germany group took over the project (their website and even their forums are now mostly in Germany, which I cannot read at all).

Anyone tried their recent DesktopBSD? Is it anything close to what MidnightBSD or other GUI-based BSD is working on?

 CLANG and USB3 are the parts I know that I'm looking forward too...
 but I agree. Wouldn't it be *great* if someone were to come up with a
 nice, simple GUI for installing ports and packages? It'd be even nicer
 if it were based on a *current* FreeBSD, not FreeBSD 6.

 Oh well. Guess I'm stuck with PC-BSD for now :)

There's a disturbing story out about presidential historiography, involving our most revered president, Abraham Lincoln.
Thirteen years ago, an amateur historian said he had discovered the pardon of a Union army deserter that Lincoln issued on April 14, 1865 -- the same day of the president's murder at Ford's Theatre.
Yesterday, the National Archives accused that historian, Thomas Lowry, of altering the document that was actually written exactly a year before, in 1864 -- it said Lowry changed the "4" to a "5" with a fountain pen.
Lowry told The Washington Post that federal agents forced him to confess, and he denied wrongdoing: "I consider these records sacred. ... It is entirely out of character for me. I'm a man of honor."
David S. Ferriero, archivist of the United States, told the Post that the Archives were familiar with Lowry and his wife, frequent visitors to the document rooms.
"It's horrible," he said. "This is a situation of having instilled a lot of trust in a regular user and not being suspicious."
Lowry has now been banned for life from the National Archives.
David's journalism career spans three decades, including coverage of five presidential elections, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 2000 Florida presidential recount and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has covered the White House for USA TODAY since 2005. His interests include history, politics, books, movies and college football -- not necessarily in that order. More about David

Detailed Description:
The focus of this study is to better understand why some adults develop heart disease and others do not. There are many known factors which play a role in causing heart disease, such as diet and lifestyle. Also, we know that inflammation, a process in the body which causes painful joints in arthritis or swelling at a site if injury, also contributes to heart disease. In particular, we will address whether leukotrienes, a component of inflammation, is involved in promoting heart disease. We will study this by giving subjects at high risk for heart disease a drug called montelukast which causes leukotrienes to have a reduced effect in the body. In addition for comparison, we will give other subjects a placebo for the same amount of time. These subjects will then be crossed-over and will receive either montelukast or placebo depending on which treatment they received first. We will compare these subjects using blood tests to see if subjects who take montelukast show signs of less inflammation caused by early heart disease as compared to subjects who do not.

Thomas Edison
once prophesized, "The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the
human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
This statement is widely quoted in the natural health world and for good reason. While it is hard to imagine life without medicine, people are slowly but surely starting to
make smart lifestyle changes in support of Thomas Edison's thinking. Medical research also leans more and more in support of
this transition. Why is "the care of the human frame" so important? Let's explore some of the reasons.
When a person exhibits a stable pelvis with good standing posture, it tells the therapist that weight is being distributed
properly through the skeletal system. It is the bones that were meant to bear the weight of the human body, not the soft tissues
(such as muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia, etc.). When a person exhibits pelvic rotations and postural distortions, the
weight of the body will be shifted to pass through soft tissues. Whenever muscles are asked to take on the function of bone,
they will also take on the physiology of bone meaning they will become harder, denser and receive poor levels of circulation. This
translates to pain and decreased flexibility. This is very common when it comes to forward head posture. Forward head posture can promote headache, compression of the cervical spine, and TMJ dysfunction. Forward
shoulder posture often leads to thoracic outlet syndrome which results in pain or numbness and tingling
into the arm and hand. A posteriorly rotated pelvis will make a person more prone to problems such as sciatica or piriformis syndrome.
Postural distortions also change the way we move such as with the gait or walking pattern. This will make us more prone to
joint degeneration and also cause pain. At the Colorado Center for Physical Therapy, our therapists are trained to
perform a thorough postural and gait evaluation. The information that they gather will tell them:
A plan is then formulated that will work toward correcting postural distortions and improving the gait. This will include a
home exercise program that will give the patient solid direction and implement a plan of prevention, just as Thomas Edison

I just had my tummy tuck after 5 kids 2 weeks ago, and I started to think. Why is it other people I know and have seen (including 3 family members) will start to lose a lot of weight after a tummy tuck(not just the flat tummy. does it kick your metabolism into hyperdrive. Is your body think differently, or is it just easier to eat less. I would love and appreciate some answers and advice. I already have been eating better (healthier). I just dont want to look up one day and I m a tooth pick lol
Is It Easier to Lose Weight After a Tummy Tuck?
Doctor Answers 6
Easier to Lose Weight after a Tummy Tuck?
Many of my patients have lost weight after tummy tucks and liposuction (long after the weight loss could have been attributed to the procedure). I think that they were more aware of their new look and took better care of their bodies through proper diet and exercise. A few were able to be more active since the loose skin in their abdomen was removed. Except for the weight removed during surgery, a tummy tuck will not directly cause more weight loss.
Tummy Tuck can motivate you for a healthier lifestyle and weight loss
Going through the demands of an elective procedure such as a Tummy Tuck certainly can motivate you to live a healthy lifestyle and lose weight or keep your weight stable.
This is a positive psychological effect of Tummy Tuck or any Body Contouring Surgery.
For the first 4-6 weeks there is a metabolic change in the body to catabolism which can promote weight loss.
However after the immediate post op period any benefit of the Tummy Tuck for weight loss has to do with psychological and lifestyle factors.

Yes it can help
The level of motivation for diet control after a cosmetic procedure is usually higher.If plication has been done,it usually leads to satiety after eating less.But do not take anything for granted & follow a sensible diet & exercise routine anyway.

It is easier to exercise and stay motivated
do not know any study supporting the fact that having tummy tuck itself contributes to better weight loss. I am positive that patients prepare themselves prior the procedure. They usually lose weight before and keep it off. Once the abdominoplasty is done patients tend to take a better care of their body. They watch their diet and have a good exercise routine. The great surgery results seem to really motivate everyone to work hard to maintain beautiful looking body.
Losing Weight after Tummy Tuck?
Thank you for the question. Congratulations on having had the tummy tuck procedure.
There is no physiological reason that I can think of that would allow patients to lose weight easier after undergoing tummy tuck surgery.
On the other hand, patients who have had tummy tuck surgery often report earlier satiety (possibly related to the tightening of the abdominal wall muscle and increased intra-abdominal pressure". This early satiety may cause patients to eat less.
On the psychological/motivational front, many patients who undergo tummy tuck surgery are very motivated to maintain their diet and exercise programs ( and to maintain/improve upon the results they have achieved with surgery).
Best wishes.

Lose weight before the tummy tuck
Body contouring surgery such as tummy tucks and liposuction are not substitutes for weight loss. They will accomplish what diet and exercise don't, for example tightening loose skin and removing fat from areas where it is localized and doesn't respond to diet and exercise. Because these localized areas stand out, it often appears that weight loss has occurred. Often we see patients who are more motivated to continue with diet and exercise once these other issues are dealt with.

As Classes Begin, a New Emphasis is Placed on School Zone Safety
As students prepare to go back to school on Monday, San Antonio City Council wants to make sure that the city is doing everything it can to make sure the kids have a save route to and from class, Newsradio 1200 WOAI.
Northside Councilman Joe Krier says city staff has been asked to do a full report on how much it would cost to make the needed upgrades to improve the city's school zones and routes that kids take to school.
He says the number one problem in many areas is a lack of sidewalks.
"There is a lack of sidewalks for kids who walk to school in the high growth areas of the city, generally on the north side," Krier said, adding that a lack of sidewalks is also a problem in more established neighborhoods as well.
A nine year old girl was killed in Krier's district last spring as she was walking to school. He says the problems with that area, which have since been corrected, are problems he wants to correct all around the city.
"We had old signs, we did not have the overhead flashing yellow signs, which make a big difference, and we did not have the crosswalk markings on the street that tell people, hey, you're in a school zone, slow down."
Krier thinks that speed limits are good around school zones, the key is enforcement, and he says the law that requires drivers to get off their cell phones while driving through school zones is also helping keep kids safer.
He says in some areas, the improvement might be just as simple as making sure brush and bushes around schools and schools zones are trimmed more frequently, to make sure that drivers don't have any unobstructed views when they are driving through school zones and can see kids when they begin to cross the street.
Krier says he is particularly concerned about the situation around school zones as fall arrives and it begins to be dark when kids are getting on the bus early in the morning.

Dear Ute & Wolfgang,
I am impressed with the work you have done answering questions from
fellow listers, and assume that you probably are overloaded with
questions right now.
I do, however, have some questions for you. I'm trying to find a
connection between my Seeberg-ancestors in Norway and the family
tradition of an immigration from northern Germany. I've found three
places by the name of Seeberg in Schleswig-Holstein, in todays Plön,
Rensburg-Eckernförde and Schleswig-Flensburg. Does your topography
book cover any of these places, and is there anyone who would care to
come with a guess on what would be the most likely connection for a
merchant family? Someone has also mentioned Segeberg as a possibility.
I realize that you of course cannot answer all these questions at the
same time, but I would appreciate any information you could give -
and please take whatever time needed. I'll wait patiently.
Finally a bit of information to listers from "overseas" ;-) -
remember that a lot of families in Norway have ancestors from
Schleswig-Holstein, often dating back to the early 17th century.
