Ask Polly: I Am So Jealous Of This Other Girl!
Dear Polly,
I am hoping you might help me with a peculiar personal problem. I apologize in advance if this is a bit vague. To begin with, I am your average 28-year-old fun-time party gal who is often overly drunk/brash, 'one of the guys,' sensitive to criticism/weirdo childhood and thus live a smaller life which I've overall been happy doing with great girlfriends of my own, cool hobbies, owning my own home, working a well-paying not particularly prestigious helping-people job that affords me lots of free time to do whatever I want. I definitely need therapy & a journal, which I plan to do, soon.
I've lived in a certain medium-sized city since moving here after college and just last year I began dating someone (great) with a cool group of friends — I've had a lot of fun. Recently boyfriend's Best Friend began dating a new girl with prior connections to the friend group; she just moved to town over the summer. The problem? Whenever I'm around New Girl, I feel like garbage; through no fault of her own. She is nothing but polite and friendly and unobjectionable in every way. Also not drunk and embarrassing at social functions. Of course, in the past, I've met/become great friends with women who are smarter, more beautiful, more accomplished but I've somehow always been ok enough with my own special-snowflakeness to preserve my baby cool-girl ego. I suppose New Girl might be my particular brand of snow, but hers is Neimans and mine is Marshalls. I went to a smart person school, new girl went to the smartest person school, I've always dabbled in writing, new girl was a real writer, I work in a particular field, this person is now going to school in this same-ish helping people field — to basically be the boss of me (if you get my drift). Even our looks are similar. But I feel like that's not really it?
My boyfriend did once admit offhand that he had a crush on her, which makes me feel bad but not overly worried, as new girl and Boyfriend's Best Friend appear to be starring in the greatest movie romance of all time. Maybe I am just jealous of her whole life. Whenever I am around New Girl, my jaw is clenched, my fur fully bristled. I have to work really hard to be friendly and not weird or rude or standoffish, while inside my head I just want to move really far away, like drop everything and high-tail it to the other side of the country. I've brought it up to my sister, my friends, but they're all basically like "what's your problem? She's so great!" I have never had this problem with another human being before, no jealousy issues etc, so I'm pretty confused about why I'm all of a sudden cruising Craigslist housing ads in low-population western mountain towns.
Please advise.
Greener and Greener
Dear Greener and Greener,
God, I love letters about jealousy. Love them. Because jealousy is delicious and terrible and it's a gift from the gods above. Yes, it will eat you alive and turn you into a monster and ruin your life. But it's also really rich and mysterious and not unlike falling madly in love — in its own twisted, deeply dissatisfying way.
Jealousy arouses the passions within. It gives you important information about your identity, your ego, your vanities and what's missing from your life.
You say you're jealous of her whole life. What, specifically, do you want that she has and you don't? Look closely at that. Maybe this small, manageable life that you've carved out isn't really big enough for you, now that you're comfortable and safe and aren't really making giant messes everywhere you go anymore. (Um. I assume you're not making giant messes anymore. If not, that's something to consider fixing.)
It's natural for women who are a little wild and unsteady emotionally to relentlessly seek safety in smallness, and in settling for whatever they can get. When I was younger, I was reckless, arrogant, insecure, and aggressive and I sometimes toggled between semi-destructive behavior and extremely hermetic avoidance. Most of all, I never dared to reach for or ask for too much. But after years of this toggling, I could see that the life I built was a little small. Now don't get me wrong: I love small. Scrappy is comforting to me. Cool makes me itch a little. I feel slightly prickly when I spend too much time in places that aren't a little middle/working class, a little dive bar. And I like slouching around the house in my soft pants. That's living, as far as I'm concerned. That said, though, when you spend a good chunk of your time hanging around the concrete yard of a public elementary school, talking about random domestic trivia, you do have to ask yourself: Do I want to grow older and lumpier and more disheveled by the year? Do I want to spend the rest of my life putting together elaborate Lego Friends cruise ships and eating nachos and watching "The Voice"? (I know, nachos. Fuck yes to the nachos.) OR am I a big bright force of fucking nature that needs ambitious creative projects and very tall leather boots and grandiosity and giant icy cocktails and dancing and I AM GOING TO LIVE LARGE, GODDAMN IT, SO FUCK THIS CULTURE AND ITS COUGAR-SHAMING SEXIST HORSE SHIT.
It's healthy to ignore the SHOULDS: I SHOULD be cooler than I am, and live in a house that looks like a Boutique Hotel. But it's not healthy to ignore the things you truly want. I want to take on new challenges and feel good in my skin and drink a giant icy cocktail.
So feel what you feel about New Girl. That's the first step. Let it tell you something about the smallness, the mediocrity, the compromises of your current life. Now ask yourself: What does she do better than you, exactly? I mean, fuck the smartest school. The smartest or best anything is a mirage. What else, though? What does she show you, not about what you SHOULD be, but about what you WANT to be? Write it all down.
This process alone may solve some of your troubles with New Girl. But let's go one step further, because you're all tight and angry around this woman. Do you think she's full of shit and she acts like she's happier than she actually is? What makes you so mad? DO YOU TRULY BELIEVE SHE'S A BETTER PERSON THAN YOU? If so, why? Is she more generous? Is she more patient? Does she listen more closely?
Maybe you feel like you need to grow up, finally. And maybe some stubborn part of your ego wants to be the most alluring, special girl in the room. But if you're fixated on being the special one, the smart one, the hot one, it really does prevent you from being a person at all. You are marketing your product. You're not living.
And when someone is in that state, everyone else knows it. I met someone like that recently. She'd ask me a question and her face would look so beautiful and interested, and then the second I opened my mouth to answer her, her face would turn snarly and ugly. It was incredible to watch. That's what a ravenous ego-hunger does to people, when they chase down bigger and bigger ego rewards without looking closely at themselves. A lot of the celebrities have this sickness, just from being in the public eye and recognizing how tough it is to stay there. And because we see these people on our TV screens, we sometimes trick ourselves into thinking THAT'S WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE, instead of just calling it what it is: a personality collapsing under the weight of its own narcissism and ravenous ego hunger.
So you have to walk a fine line. You have to make sure that you're honoring your desires. But you also have to give up on being the special one, the flashy one. Just be a person in the room. Let New Girl shine. Befriend her. Listen to her. Be generous and forgive her for whatever flaws she has. At the very least, behave that way and your feelings may follow. This is an opportunity for you. You are advancing to a more generous state.
But you have to accept that you are not the best, and you will never be the best. This sounds like admitting defeat, but it's actually one of the finest victories you'll ever achieve. Start with vulnerability, and humility, and then dare to ask for more from your life.
And keep reading, because I got another jealousy letter this week that takes this New Girl story to a whole new, terrifying level….
Hi Polly,
This question has been asked countless times before in other advice columns, but you're my favorite and I would love to hear your take/be the recipient of your tough love. How do I stop feeling jealous of my boyfriend's ex?
The back story: My boyfriend and I have been together for one year and it's been great. He is the first man I've ever loved and we met through our shared passions (people who follow this column: accepting a lifetime alone and exploring your own hobbies/projects and truly being okay with your single circumstances works wonders on meeting kind, interesting individuals! Not just people you end up falling in love with!). My "problem" is, I'm not the first woman he's loved. I was perfectly okay with this reality until I met his ex while we were on a wedding-turned-vacation trip a few months ago. She was beautiful and charming, well-traveled and the life of the party. After a few drinks, she pulled me aside during the wedding reception and told me, through tears, that she just wanted my boyfriend to be happy. I knew very little about their time together and was confused by her need to tell me this. My boyfriend quickly informed me that their relationship didn't end on great terms and there was suspected cheating on her part. He reassured me that he had zero feelings towards her and he was annoyed that she seemed to think she ruined his shot at happiness. It was a really bizarre day.
The second leg of our vacation, after the wedding, was at my boyfriend's previous city of residence. He loved it there. It's vastly different from where we live now and he wanted to show me this part of his past. Of course, this city was the city where he and his ex lived together for a few years. He would casually reference things they did together. "This was mine and ex's street, our old apartment is over there," "This is where ex liked to shop," and so on. Their old neighborhood was picturesque and perfect and exactly where I saw myself living a few years out. I found myself hating her for already experiencing the shared life I wanted with him, in this wonderful place. Ugh, it's so stupid that I spent a significant portion of that trip thinking such negative, ridiculous, jealous thoughts. I couldn't not think about it at the time, considering I had just met her days before and it seemed as though she was everywhere. After a few days of learning about his life in that city and hearing more about his relationship with the ex, I finally told him that I really didn't want to talk about her anymore. He got the hint.
So, here I am months later, feeling the occasional pangs of insecurity and jealousy any time something reminds me of her. And then I get sad thinking about how he will never have to experience the same worry about my previous relationships because they were all so fleeting. That sounds kind of terrible — I don't want my boyfriend to be jealous of anyone! I guess I just don't like the imbalance that I'm making up in my head. I've heard the standard advice, "He's with you for a reason! She's in his past for a reason! Your respective paths crossed for a reason!" and that outlook really makes sense. He never gives me reason to doubt his love or his intentions. I guess some some days I just worry that I'm not as exciting (she was a flight attendant and they took frequent excursions to remote places at no cost, how does that even happen!) or as interesting (she's lived all over the world, I've lived in various parts of Appalachia) or as sexy (my boyfriend made the terrible mistake of telling me she was a highly sexual person and could orgasm multiple times during a broader discussion of why I have a difficult time relaxing during sex, sigh). One of his friends posted a group picture from that wedding today on Facebook and in it, my boyfriend is seated between his ex and me. I couldn't stop thinking about how they looked better together and had a way cooler relationship and that spiraled into more destructive, unnecessary thoughts. I immediately hid the picture and decided to message you to prevent further craziness.
I haven't really talked to my boyfriend about this because I know it's wildly unattractive to admit that you've been comparing yourself to a former lover. I figured it was something I would just get over and hopefully that proves to be the case in time. Polly, can you tell me how to stop fretting over something that shouldn't even be an issue?
Sick of Feeling Jealous
Dear SOFJ,
Oh sweet Jesus, yes. I love your letter, not only because this situation is the stuff of nightmares, but because your perspective on this woman is all twisted. Yes, she's charming, she travels a lot, she's gorgeous, whatever. I mean, I get it. I don't blame you. And maybe she and your guy do look perfect together. But I guarantee you, he doesn't care about that, and no one else does, either. It might as well be the juicy shame-the-protagonist subplot of a girl movie. Irrelevant.
But speaking of juicy subplots, next we come to the two details that really tell us everything we need to know:
1. Dream girl was multi-orgasmic. (!!!)
2. Dream girl wants you to know that she loves your boyfriend soooo much and all she wants is for him to be happy. SHE'S NOT JEALOUS, NOT HER! SHE JUST WANTS YOU TO KNOW (sniff, sniff) HOW INCREDIBLY HAPPY SHE WANTS HIM TO BE.
So ask yourself this: Why does she want YOU to know this? Why? Why wouldn't she just tell HIM that?
Here's why: He does not give a FUCK about her.
And here's why he doesn't give a fuck: BECAUSE SHE'S A FUCKING CRAZY PERSON.
Now follow this train of thought with me, uncharitable though it might seem: This exgirlfriend is nuttier than a nut log. You have unwittingly stumbled on the Angelina Jolie of the mortal world. (Angelina's not mortal. She's not even human, because she's not competitive at all, she has a great big heart and an enduring soul and she just happens to look perfect and sound perfect every single second of her life while she's CARING FOR THE WORLD'S CHILDREN.)
Looky here. Generally speaking, we don't call other ladies crazy. That's called Making Bad Choices. We don't cast aspersions on women who are just being happy and nice — like New Girl in that first letter. Her niceness makes us feel mean, but that's our problem, not hers.
But this Angelina of yours: She's different. And we are allowed to fucking notice that she's a troublemaker. Because only a troublemaker corners you and starts talking about him. You have nothing at all to do with him and her, them! You didn't know a goddamn thing about THEM or HER before now! She wanted you to think about her, to know that they mattered once, pure and simple. But she couldn't say, "Oh Jesus, this is weird for me, but I'm happy for you guys." Or better yet, say nothing. No. She couldn't talk to him directly. She couldn't merely smile at you and chat about nothing, real friendly-like. She couldn't make a joke about his bad habits, or something casual in passing. No. She needed you to know how passionately she feels for him. She needed YOU to know that she existed, that she mattered to him once.
I mean, come on, lady! Why? What kind of a giant stupid sad narcissistic ego needs to announce itself to the new girlfriend? I'm friends with my exes and some of their wives on Facebook. I don't send them personal notes saying that I just want their fucking husbands to be happy! I am pleased to see photos of their adorable babies and the like. Do I hope that my exes are happy? Yes, even the ones who were dicks. Do I tell their wives that? FUCK NO I DO NOT, because why would they care?
So she waves her hands around — I MATTER I MATTER! — and now you're like, "Hold on, who is this?" Your boyfriend didn't say a word about her, did he?
Oh, wait, hold on, he did say something… ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHE'S MULTIORGASMIC. Oh my fucking Christ. Look. First you have to know that he was just trying to tell you that he's good in bed, really really good, so whatever you're not feeling isn't his fault. Not very smart of him, but that was accidental. He was protecting his own ego, not reminiscing. He was trying to say that you need to loosen up and get a little crazy, when it's equally true that he needs to learn more stuff about how to operate your goddamn machinery.
And he thinks he's great in bed because HIS EX IS A LYING LIAR WHO LIES.
She doesn't really want him to be happy, and she's not multiorgasmic. No fucking way. This Angelina of yours is a charming, perfect, world-traveler and she's A FUCKING ACTRESS.
Now, I'm not saying I know this for a fact. Being multi-orgasmic isn't so rare, particularly once you have a partner you really trust who adores you and isn't constantly monitoring your response so he can stick a little gold star on his dick (ahem!). Once you know what you want and how to get it and you're not worried how you look or act when you're doing it, it's possible. But the supreme hotness of sex does wax and wane regardless. I'd sort of like to know if Angelina came three or four times every single fucking time they had sex. Because if she did, I'm going to go ahead and CALL BULLSHIT ON HER RIGHT NOW.
Of course you can't tell your boyfriend she was faking it. He's too invested in her as a sign of his mad skills in the sack. That's his cross to bear, I guess, one that I doubt is helping him in the skill-attainment department.
Anyway, let's review what we've learned by slipping into full-on aggressive combat mode with Angelina: She's batshit crazy and a liar and she fakes orgasms with great gusto. This explains why your boyfriend isn't actually all that passionate about her. She annoys him. He doesn't want her back. He may not know that she's a faker but he does know very well that she's a fake and she's nuts and she's not what he wants, not even a little bit. This also explains why she cheated on him: She's a narcissist. Some other guy came along and flattered her a little, she had to fuck him and whip out her multiple orgasms for his benefit, so he'd know just how supremely Best Woman Ever she is. She couldn't say no to that. She had to prove to this other guy, who didn't even matter, that she was The Dreamgirl of the Universe.
So there's your very uncharitable, bad-energy explanation. I don't believe in skipping that step. I don't believe in saying "She's wonderful, you're wonderful, let's all go in peace," immediately. This is a learning fucking moment, people! Lean the fuck in!
But now let's try something different. Let's assume that Angelina is trying, very very hard, to be happy for your boyfriend, but she's struggling with it a little. She was drinking and she told YOU this because she knew HE wouldn't care. He cut her off completely after she cheated, and that was incredibly hard for her. Maybe she is a wonder in the sack, in addition to being beautiful and charming, and because of this, men sleep with her and they almost never break up with her, but sometimes they don't really like who she is deep down inside anyway. And that haunts her, because she IS a good person, really, but she never feels like anyone really loves her for her. Even so, she sleeps with men too soon because she can't resist showing them her sexual prowess. She always wins them once she gets them to bed. She can't help but pull that trigger and seal the deal, even if it means spending her entire relationship feeling like she has to prove that she's really smart and lovable, in addition to being gorgeous and charming.
See, this story is much more convincing, and it's also, mysteriously enough, compatible with our more aggressive thesis. She's either a real Dream Girl or a partially fake Dream Girl, but the bottom line is that being a Dream Girl is much harder than it looks from the outside.
This woman is a robust brand. And we don't know what it's like to feel that everyone wants to consume you. We can't crawl inside her skin. But she made mistakes and your boyfriend dropped her. She is jealous of you. She cried to you. She is hurting. She is in the past and she knows it.
You're the only one who doesn't know it.
Let her go. She doesn't make your life more interesting, and she doesn't make you smaller and less worthy. Give her your sympathy and release her. Let her teach you a lesson about trying to be the Best Woman Ever: It backfires, and it's lonely and it sucks.
Here's another lesson for you: You need to talk to your boyfriend about sex a lot more. You need to work hard to have complex, vulnerable, thoughtful, rambling talks with him about your feelings and his. He needs to let you in, and you need to let him in. He needs to know more about what you want in bed, a lot more. You need permission to be a little unresponsive until you aren't anymore. He needs to know that you won't get there if you're acting or thinking you're a disappointment the whole time. You have to start with nothing and build something together. You don't have to go on about the ex — and if you do bring her up, I would be very clear about the fact that she doesn't matter, except as a symbol of something. She made you worry, and wonder if you really know him, if you really know what he wants from his life, from you. You want to share yourself with him more, to feel truly deeply connected at another, more trusting level, which will help you to understand yourselves and each other moving forward.
Lean into the vulnerability that this jealousy kicked up in you. Don't stop at "She's fucking crazy, that ex of his!" Don't' stop at self-protection and defensiveness and counter attacks. Something beautiful is opening up to you now. More love, more connection, more security, more possibility. It starts with you forgiving her for trying to make herself bigger than you — and bigger than she really is. It starts with you feeling empathy for her loneliness and her need to matter to you. It starts with you forgiving yourself for not having traveled, for not being more charming, for not being gorgeous from every goddamn angle. It starts with you being chumpy and small and not all that good in bed. That's so lovable, you don't even know. You are not that experienced. You are not smooth and unstoppable and swaggery and special. You are thoughtful and easily upstaged and here's the secret: When you are upstaged, the world loves you more.
He loves you more. He just does.
He needs to figure out how to show it a little better, and when to shut his fat mouth. You need to figure out how to receive it, and believe it. This exgirlfriend of his is bright and shiny, but you are solid and real and you don't know how to shine more brightly. You don't know how to lie, and that's what's nice about you. You are humble and angry and fallible. He wants you.
Jealous again? Jealous like a good American? Write to Polly and let's talk about being jealous forever and ever and ever..

Physical activity and physical exercise are not the same. It's important to distinguish clearly between the two as exercise physiologists and sports scientists always do. Pre and post cancer diagnosis, a popular form of physical exercise amongst older American women is regular swimming. But not amongst black women. Last year, Melody T McCloud, MD, wrote an interesting piece on this for Psychology Today entitled 'Most Blacks Don't Swim. They Need to Learn' [1]. 1) 'Black Women's Health and Happiness' blog, 29 May 2013, at http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/black-womens-health-and-happiness/201305/most-blacks-dont-swim-they-need-learn.

UArt Sanded Paper
By Jayne
from Michigan
UArt Sanded Paper is really the best brand. The grit of 320 will accept 20-24 layers of pastel. Rolls are more economical, but they are a little bit difficult to cut. I used a box cutter to cut the 56" roll down to 32". Then I used my cutting board. Perfect!
Very good pastel paper
By Caipira
from Evanston
I plan to make pastels over a long period of time. I take drawing classes and I draw landscapes for myself. In the long run this paper is very economical and the 56in width allows me to cut it to the sizes I need. This paper accepts many layers of pastel. It is essentially good quality 400 grit sandpaper. The paper arrived fast in good packing. The curvature comes out of it if you keep it pressed for a few days after unrolling and cutting it.
great texture for underpainting and mixed media .

Great for different underpainting techniques and mostly wet ones.

This is the best sanded pastel paper out on the market right now. It will take water, alcohol and turp washes, equally well. Great paper!
UArt Sanded Pastel Paper is fantastic product. Great results

I have just started a new pastel painting using UArt sanded paper for the first time. I am thrilled with the results. Dick Blick packaged the 10 yard roll perfectly - it arrived in Australia in perfect condition. Great product.

I use this product for my pastel painting and I am very please with it.
Rolls are versatile!
By Kozi
from Willow Street, PA
I really like working on the UART surfaces because you can use just about anything and won't lose the tooth. Water, turpenoid, paint don't phase it at all. I only wish that they would come up with a white rather than cream because doing an underpainting in watercolor for my pastels would be a lot easier to read. I like the roll because I can work as large as I dare and can size a painting to any free frame I can get my hands onto.

Excellent product!
By Andy
from Lincoln, RI
I recently started working with the PanPastels, and till now, exclusively with the Pastel Matte papers. Wanting to do larger paintings than I have been to date, I saw that other reviewers mentioned that the 800 grit UArt paper was excellent for use with the PanPstels. The 56" roll of the paper is perfect for my needs, as I can cut the paper to the sizes I wish to work with. I will admit, there was some concern when I first got the paper, whether or not the grit was a bit more course than I anticipated. However, my first painting on the paper is humming along nicely, with no issues that I can see at all. I will warn that the paper IS still fairly course, and will dull a blade very quickly if you score to cut to size. The paper is also pretty stiff, so getting the roll to cooperate was a bit difficult. I ended up staining the paper somewhat as I was cutting to size, but that was my fault, and the surface I was cutting on. However, this brings me to my next point. I thinned some blue acrylic and painted a thin wash, just to cover some of the more severe staining. The paper took the wash beautifully! The paper does curl a bit with the moisture, but if weighted after drying, flattens right out. This roll will last me quite some time, but I will definitely be grabbing another when the time is right. Great buy!

|Valley Forge Golf Club -- The only public course
|Review by: Robert Henson
|VFGC is what you'd expect, being the only public golf course in the area. With slow greens, and long-grassed fairways, it is perfect for the average 50 handicapped golfer. Overpopulation is a big issue. If you want to play 18 holes on a weekend, you better set aside 4-5 hours to play...with a cart. Overall, I would never go to this course, but since its the only one we've got, I'll take whats given.

Fc receptor-like protein 1, also known as FcR-like protein 1, Fc receptor homolog 1, IFGP family protein 1, Immune receptor translocation-associated protein 5 and FCRL1, is a single-pass type I membrane protein which contains three Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains. It is a cell-surface membrane protein belonging to FCRL family and is preferentially expressed on B cells. FCRL1 is primarily expressed in secondary lymphoid tissues by mature subsets of B cells. It is detected in spleen, lymph node, heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, liver and placenta. FCRL1 is specifically expressed by mature B lineage cells with higher expression in naive versus memory B cells (at protein level). Human Fc receptor-like molecules (FCRL1, FCRL2, FCRL3, FCRL4, FCRL5) have tyrosine-based immunoregulatory potential and are expressed by B-lineage subpopulations. FCRL1 may function as an activating coreceptor in B cells. It may also function in B cells activation and differentiation.

Kellan Lutz Will Knock Your Socks Off With His Gun Show
Fitness fanatic Kellan Lutz pulled up his socks and sipped on a Gatorade leaving a gym in LA yesterday. His impressive muscles are also on display in these recently released shirtless Immortals pictures. He's been chilling on the West Coast, hanging with his doggies and flashing his winning smile at fashionable events, while most of his Twilight cast mates are in Vancouver shooting Breaking Dawn. His pal and costar Ashley Greene celebrated her 24th birthday in Las Vegas over the weekend, but this time Kellan opted out of a fun-filled trip to Sin City.

Volunteer fire departments are asked to do just as much as career fire fighters. Oh, and you have to raise money, too.
The financial challenges facing volunteer fire departments are great.
- How do we buy a safe, new truck?
- Do we have to pay a down payment to finance or lease or get a loan for our fire truck?
- What is the lowest payment we can get?
- But also, how can we pay the least amount of borrowing cost?
We work well for volunteers who would like:
- Clear and useful fire truck financing information. After all, you aren't a professional money manager and most finance proposal include a bunch of jargon and confusing terms (what's really hidden among all those numbers and %)?
- Simple help to understand your financing options. Our typical customer learns how to save over $10,000 in financing costs.
- Simple help to complete all the legal requirements. You know the IRS has rules to follow and don't want to hear you did something wrong. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone guide you every step of the way?
- To know you aren't screwing things up for the next guy. You've heard the stories of a past chief or board who made a financial decision that hurt their chances of buying the next truck. You'd like some financial expertise to prevent major financial mistakes.
You can download FREE fire truck leasing and loan tools here.
Did you know that the typical First Bankers customer learns how to save $10,000 when financing their fire truck?
That is the kind of useful information that helps fire departments show they are wise with their money.

Nike Air Max Trainer One
Gear Review: Nike Air Max Trainer One
I love my Nike Air Max Trainer One ($85) women's shoes. Performance-wise, I don't have any complaints about my old gym shoes, I just hate that they are all white. Since stylish gear motivates me to work out, I was more than happy to try out these shoes when Nike sent them over. I was immediately attracted to the pink/gray color combo, and the rounded shape with the Velcro strap give it a cool '80s feel. Before I even put them on, I was hoping they performed as well as they looked.
The Air Max Trainer Ones do not disappoint. I use them at the gym for cardio and strength training, and at home when working out to a DVD. In every situation they excel. Originally designed as a cross-training shoe for tennis great John McEnroe in the '80s, it's been re-engineered specifically for women. The idea behind it is the same: one shoe that can be used for weight training, light running, cardio, and both indoor or outdoor workouts. And with today's top trainers pushing the merits of interval, circuit, and cross training, a shoe like this makes total sense. I feel incredibly supported whenever I wear them, and tightening the Velcro strap is an easy way to get even more security and stability. I like that they aren't heavy on my feet and are low profile, which encourages different types of motion and activity. Also, my feet feel engaged, which means I am getting the benefit of strengthening my muscles even more. It doesn't hurt that Serena Williams trains in Air Max Trainer Ones, too.

The Atlanta Braves put together their eighth consecutive win on the backs of Tim Hudson and Evan Gattis, taking the series and setting up a potential sweep of the Washington Nationals in a 3-1 game.
Gattis hit a two-run home in the third inning after a costly throwing error by Ryan Zimmerman, illustrating just how small the margin of error is in the NL East.
"Close games like today, well-pitched games for both sides, I think there are the little things you need to do to win the game," Hudson said on braves.com. "They made one mistake defensively that cost them the game. We were pretty solid all day."
Zimmerman threw wide of first base on Justin Upton's two-out groundball in the third, allowing Upton to move to second and Gattis to come to the plate. Gattis used his compact swing to turn on a high-and-tight 96-mph fastball from Stephen Strasburg, depositing it in the seats beyond the bullpen in left-center.
The bomb gave Gattis four homers through his first 30 Major League at-bats.
"Really more than anything, I was just trying to put the ball in play," Gattis said. "I just felt like I didn't need to be that long [with my swing]. I was just trying to barrel the ball with a runner on second. We had a good runner on second with Justin. I was just trying to put the ball in play and score a run. "
The two unearned runs Strasburg gave up were the only runs he gave up at all in his six innings of work.
Hudson took advantage of Washington's offensive mistakes as well, starting in the first inning. After Denard Span singled, Hudson threw a pickoff attempt away to move him to second. But with Jayson Werth batting, Span ran for third on a line drive that was caught by B.J. Upton that brough an unconventional 8-4 double play.
Hudson gave up only three more hits in his seven innings, incurring damage only on a Danny Espinosa homer in the fifth inning for the only run he surrendered.
In a more fun aspect of the game, Hudson recorded two of the Braves' eight hits, giving him a .429 average for the year.
"I'm not supposed to hit," Hudson said. "So it's always exciting to throw a couple of knocks out there, especially a guy throwing that hard. I turned it around. What can I say?"
The Braves will go for the series sweep Sunday afternoon as Paul Maholm matches up with Gio Gonzalez.Tags: Atlanta, Atlanta Braves, Evan Gattis, MLB, Ryan Zimmerman, Stephen Strasburg, Tim Hudson, Washington Nationals

Mobile, social and cloud computing-focused venture firm Benchmark has led a $19m financing round for digital branding and communications company Sailthru.
The Series B round more than doubles Sailthru's previous financing, which comprised a $1m seed round in 2010 and an $8m Series A in 2011.
DFJ Gotham and corproate venture capital firm AOL Ventures also took part in the latest round, which will see Benchmark's Bill Gurley join the Sailthru board of directors.
Sailthru said it increased revenue by 270 per cent in the past year, with an average monthly growth rate of over nine per cent.
The company now supports clients across five continents, recently opened a West Coast office in San Francisco and plans to expand into Europe in the second quarter of this year.
Gurley a general partner at Benchmark, said, "As all digital businesses evolve to the next level, the best companies are focused on how they can deliver an individualized experience for each and every customer.
"Sailthru is a company that exemplifies this by placing the individual at its core to enable companies to adopt a personalised approach to serve their customers.
"Companies that embrace this approach see much higher conversion rates, and as a result higher revenues and more satisfied customers. It's a powerful combination."
Earlier this month IT group DataXu raised $27m of growth capital led by Thomvest Ventures to fund its ongoing global expansion and further development of its digital marketing software.
That fundraising was also supported by the company's existing major investors Atlas Venture, Flybridge Capital Partners and Menlo Ventures.

joanie hendricks - Jul 5, 2017
I am very picky about massages - I like someone who is capable and willing to really get into my muscles and loosen up really tense areas. After a year and a half of trying different therapists, I have finically found one who can get the job done. I feel so much better and appreciate how hard she worked to get me to this point. You won't regret coming to her - especially if you need a good deep tissue massage.

Bumi package a case of strong bullying the weak?
YOURSAY 'The question is whether the prime minister has acted legally and constitutionally, or is he usurping power for his own gains?'
Bumi affirmative package 'unconstitutional'
Baiyuensheng: The epitome example of the strong bullying and oppressing the weak.
Sodom me Sodom you: Najib Abdul Razak continues to polarise Malaysia. What he and his government are doing is akin to taking the nation back to the time of racial distrust in the late 60s. Right thinking and honest Malaysians must not stand by and watch this nation be plundered and its people made to hate one another.
Constitutional law expert Aziz Bari's voice must be heard by all. The opposition must educate people of all races about unity and strength in diversity that Malaysia has always stood for. If left unattended, civil war will be upon us and that is Umno/BN's plan.
Sabahan: Most of the money allocated to development ends up in the pockets of Umno politicians and their cronies. I have never been convinced by the frequent announcements of allocations to Sabah.
Just look at the public roads. A good example is the gravel road from Kalabakan to Keningau. The project was for a sealed road but a gravel road was built. Nonetheless, the full price was paid to the contractor.
Bamboo: Prof Aziz has exposed Najib in an entangled web Najib that spun himself!
Tehachapi: If he were a responsible prime minister, Najib should have consulted the federal constitution and sought expert advice prior to making a major announcement.
Now, widely contradicted by legal experts, this serves to damage the prestige of his office as the latest pronouncement portrays our PM as being a rash and careless leader of the government in dealing with the affairs of the nation.
In taking the oath of office, the PM had solemnly promised to protect and uphold the constitution. So, by going against the constitution, is this not trampling on the sacred document of our nation?
In the face of all these accusations, the prime minister has a duty to explain and clarify himself to the satisfaction of the people. The question is whether he has acted legally and constitutionally, or is he usurping power for his own gains?
Gen2indian: What say you, MIC, MCA, Gerakan, etc? Constitutionally proven wrong, are you lot going to challenge it in court or simply, as usual, wait for some (big) crumbs to drop from the main (Umno) table? My friends and I have all decided either to stop paying taxes or look for (legal) ways to avoid them.
Doc: As a non-Malay, I am not really rattled with this RM30 billion Bumiputera Economic Empowerment package. Firstly, it's the Umno AGM season again.
This is the season where Umno politicians will become ultra Malay radicals and start claiming to champion Malay rights. Basically this is to look good politically at the AGM, especially when it is election time.
After October, Umno politicians will revert to doing what they do best - thieving and robbing the rakyat, Malays included. In short, RM30 billion is just a political rhetoric to shore up political support for PM Najib. Nothing more.
Secondly, where is the RM30 billion coming from? If the nation's coffers are flushed with cash for PM Najib to lavishly give this amount to the bumiputeras, then why did he reduce the petrol subsidies recently, which is unpopular, just before the all important Umno elections where his presidency is up for grab? In short, the country has no money.
Ourvotesdecide: Yes, in Sarawak, which companies have been given hundreds of thousands of hectares of logging concessions, planted forest licences and leases for oil palm plantations and prime lands for property development (residential/commercial properties) by Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud?
Go visit all the towns in Sarawak and in the rural areas now. It's the same big companies of Taib's cronies, the Laus, Tiongs, Wongs, Lings and Yaws operating under different identities or subsidiaries. The bumiputera ones are only companies of Taib's family and relatives led by Cahya Mata Sarawak (CMS)!
Haji Budin: What is more important to Najib now is that his Umno members must back him up for the coming Umno election. It is not important what the other citizens of this country think.
Fair&Just: It seems that these bigots have inserted the practise of apartheid into the constitution and the United Nations (UN) should have taken action against such a country. So the UN is only for show?
The Chinese are paying most of the taxes and no help or opportunities are given to the community. Perhaps the law of nature will one day reach equilibrium here in Bolehland and justice shall prevail.
Anonymous #44199885: How many generations of non-Malays, who have sworn loyalty to the King and country and fellow Malaysians and duty-bound to protect the King and country against foreign invasion, are going to be discriminated against simply because of where our grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers and mothers originate?
Did not the non-Malays work hard and tirelessly and continue to support both King and country despite 40 years of discrimination? Are our children, their children and generations after that going to continue to be penalised and discriminated?
Are the majority of the Malays comfortable with this? Do they not see that non-Malays have the same aspirations and hopes for themselves and their children?
Exranger: Dear Malaysians, please understand this, Najib is not interested with the Malays in this country, what more bumiputeras and worse, the nons. All he is planning for is how to sapu that RM30 billion for himself and some for his cronies as a reserve for 'the rainy days' that would soon come for him.
Kadaram: When it comes to money, robbing non-Muslim taxpayers' money is halal but everything else is non-halal.

The special occasion will also include "public encounter" with Hardwicke and the film's stars. To top it off, Stephenie Meyer is going to read passages from her new novel "Breaking Dawn".

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Uh-oh.
The Commerce Department is out with revised gross domestic product numbers for the first quarter of 2014, and the news isn't good.
Officially, the nation's GDP figure -- the most commonly used barometer to measure the country's financial health by economists -- fell into negative territory, at negative 1%.
That's down from the original 0.1% reading the department reported a month ago and is either a hiccup on the road to recovery or a serious harbinger of troubling economic turmoil ahead.
Either way there was trouble across the board for the economy for the first quarter in the public and private sector, the agency said in a statement Thursday.
"The decrease in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected negative contributions from private inventory investment, exports, nonresidential fixed investment, state and local government spending and residential fixed investment that were partly offset by a positive contribution from personal consumption expenditures. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased," the Commerce Department reported.
The news was softened somewhat by estimates the economy will still finish the year with positive growth, at 2.6%.
But the revised, downward number does come with a price tag for bank savings customers.
With the economy down, the Federal Reserve will likely keep interest rates low, to spur lending and generate momentum in the economy. That will keep bank rates down.
The Federal Reserve has pretty much guaranteed that, as it continues to keep its policy of low rates in place.

Google is reportedly set to reveal Google Fit, a fitness tracking and analytics tool, for Android smartphones, according to Forbes. The app would act as a centralized location for collecting all fitness data from wearable devices, currently segregated into incompatible and often competitive apps, to make the data more transparent to users. The reveal is expected to take place during Google I/O, the company's annual developer summit; likely during the opening ceremonies.
Android developers will likely be pleased with the service, which will include an open SDK, so development with the system will be both free and easy. This pits Android head-to-head with iOS again, competing with Apple's recently announced HealthKit. It's not surprising to hear that Google is interested in the space; it has been for years, both because the search giant is in the business of collecting information and also because it is single-minded in its pursuit to provide Google account users with anything they could ever want. That's why services like Gmail, Google Maps, Google Calendar, and many others exist even though they produce little to no revenue for Google.
A Leg Up on Apple at Last?
Sharing health data via a Google app that can interact with the company's other offerings is more valuable to users than an Apple product could be, and may prove to be an incredibly important selling point for Android phones. So many people already tie much of their personal data to their Google accounts, and Apple has fewer data collection apps and thus cannot provide as much useful information at once.
That's really the power of Google Now, which aggregates data from Gmail, Google Calendar, search results, and more to provide useful and real-time data on demand. Fitness data such as caloric intake, sleep length and quality, and exercise habits will make more sense in the context of your schedule, location, travel arrangements, etc. Imagine if Google Fit alerts you to an email from your gym about new classes. The functionality could be endless, though it will undoubtedly be limited at the start.
Google is expected to reveal Google Fit on June 25, when Google I/O starts. What do you think about the potential Google Fit?

Penguins-Flyers outdoors game expected to be announced for February 2017
The NHL could announce as soon as Wednesday that an outdoor game scheduled between the Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers at Heinz Field will take place Feb. 18, 2017, multiple sources told the Tribune-Review.
On Sunday, the league announced an outdoor game between Winnipeg and Edmonton for October, fueling speculation that confirmation of the other outdoor games planned for next season was coming soon.
Last month, sources said the Penguins and Flyers would meet at Heinz Field next season as part of the 50th anniversary of their joining the league as expansion teams in 1967. It's expected to be a home-and-home series, with the Flyers hosting the Penguins outdoors in a subsequent season.

Dumb question?
May seem like a stupid question but I just would like to be certain. There are guns labeled as. 223 rem, then you have. 223/5.56 guns which shoot both. But if a gun is only marked 5.56 does that mean anything? Can regular. 223 be shot from it. Once again sorry if this is a stupid question
You can shoot .223 from a gun chambered in 5.56 (just wont be quite as accurate) but not the other way around. The 5.56 is a higher pressure round
I knew you couldn't shoot 5.56 from a .223 weapon just had never seen a rifle marked only as 5.56 so better safe than sorry lol
When it comes to safety, the ONLY stupid question is the one you DIDN'T ask!:o
Never hesitate to ask questions.:) Someone else may learn something as well as you!:D
Apart from custom "match" rifles and carbines, there are three common chamber variations for AR barrels:
1. 5.56MM NATO - Permits firing of 5.56MM NATO and .223 Remington (with slightly reduced accuracy).
2. .223 Remington - Permits firing of .223 Remington (5.56MM NATO can produce chamber pressure spikes depending on how close the chamber size is to specification).
3. .223 Wylde - Permits firing 5.56MM NATO and .223 Remington with roughly equivalent accuracy and without a potentially dangerous pressure spike associated with firing 5.56MM NATO.
It makes no difference what markings are on the receiver of a firearm. Marking a receiver "multi-caliber" doesn't make the barrel any more capable of withstanding the firing of a particular cartridge. Pay special attention to the marking on the barrel. If your barrel isn't marked, contact the manufacturer to be sure your rifle or carbine can fire the type of cartridge you intend to fire.
For example, a Colt AR6721 has a barrel marked "5.56 NATO / 1/9 HBAR". The receiver of the same firearm is marked "Cal. .223". The firearm is chambered for 5.56MM NATO ammunition and will also fire .223 Remington.
Also, while some cartridges may chamber in a 5.56MM NATO barrel, that doesn't mean a particular firearm is suited for firing them. The extra heavy 5.56MM long range bullets (heavier than 77 grains) come to mind. A bolt gun may feed such cartridges, but your AR magazines may have problems with them.
Generally speaking, 5.56MM NATO ammunition from 55 to 77 grains will work just fine in a 5.56MM NATO chambered barrel with an appropriate twist rate.
Generally speaking, .223 Remington will also work just fine in a 5.56MM NATO chambered barrel, with slightly reduced accuracy.
Generally speaking, firing a higher pressure, dimensionally variant cartridge like the 5.56MM NATO in a weapon chambered for .223 Remington is not a particularly good idea.

China can learn from its past
Ancient dynasties honored religious diversity and freedom
August 16, 2012
It has been a month since the July 7 episcopal ordination in Shanghai took place. The incident has prompted many Chinese Catholics to reflect on religious freedom in China. Auxiliary Bishop Thaddeus Ma Daqin was not a renowned figure but all of a sudden he drew worldwide attention. Why? Is it because he publicly quit the Catholic Patriotic Association to focus on his episcopal ministry? Such a gesture made our state leaders nervous. Why? Was there any political agenda behind Bishop Ma's words? As a bishop, his words simply expressed his persistence and devotion to the Catholic faith. A friend of mine once said, "We do not only respect those who cherish the same ideals as ours. We should also respect those who take different courses so that our broad-mindedness can be testified." The same friend added: "When we get along with those who share the same ideals, we call them 'comrades.' But when we also manage to get along well with those who pursue different goals, they are our 'friends'." China should respect the natural development of religions to achieve long-lasting peace and harmony. History has proven this to be true. The Tang Dynasty (618-907), during which emperors respected their people and were tolerant toward all religions, is regarded as a high point in Chinese civilization. We remember Emperor Kangxi(1654-1722) in early Qing Dynasty who trusted foreign Catholic missionaries and learned from them astronomy, geography, mathematics and other scientific knowledge. To introduce advanced technologies from the West, Emperor Kangxi welcomed numerous scholastic missionaries to his land. A prominent representative was Belgian Jesuit Father Ferdinand Verbiest. From this first wave of Western knowledge spreading to China, we can trace the contribution of religions to the development of our country and to the advancement of the society. Earlier this year, the State Administration for Religious Affairs jointly published with five other central government departments an opinion paper encouraging religious groups to engage in more charitable activities. Wasn't this move encouraging religions to make more contributions and reflecting their significance in the society? From here we can see how much the state understands and recognizes religions. An important aspect of the Catholic Church is fidelity to the pope and obedience to Church law, which expresses the Church being one, holy, catholic and apostolic. Hence, the appointment of Catholic bishops should be solely endorsed by Rome. A bishop's duty is to meet pastoral needs, as he is the spiritual leader of his flock. The Communist Party has no grounds to replace the pope as the leader of the Catholic faith. It should not interfere with the Church's internal mechanism, especially on the issue of episcopal appointment. Bishop Ma's ordination seems to have made state leaders feel perplexed and forget the value of religions. When a person has freedom to believe in a religion, the state should respect his right to join or quit any religious organization, manifesting their broad-mindedness and recognition of religious freedom. No matter good or bad, the Shanghai incident is worthy of our reflection, but not to put more pressure on the prelate. Space should be given for him to move freely. Only by doing so will religious faithful feel the state's commitment to protecting their religions. The pope is in fact a spiritual but not political leader. State leaders across the world respect the pope and have established friendship with him. The former leader of the Cuban Communist party, Fidel Castro, met the pope this year during a papal visit to the country, while the Vietnamese Communist leaders also pay high respect to the Pope and exchange ideas through their envoys. It comes to my mind that the Vietnamese Communists learned the reform and open-door policy from their Chinese counterparts, which facilitated the economic boom and made China a world power. The Chinese Communists, in another way round, should learn from the Vietnamese the respect and support for religions.

IPad/Apple newbie here, had my ipad2 since March 12th - my first Apple product. I am in love with it.
Recently got InstaPaper app and really using it, easily clip the main body of a webpage to read later - fantastic research tool when browsing the net.
Then I wondered if I could use Klip.me (
) to do the same thing with an article on a webpage and send it to my Kindle-3 as I do with my laptop. I have a French/English and Spanish/English dictionary on my Kindle to help me read newspapers in those languages.
Couldn't get it to work with Safari, but I actually use Mercury Pro web browser and have it set to fake it to look like Google Chrome. And voila!!! It works. The last two entries at the right of my bookmarks bar are now "InstaPaper" and "Klip.me". Has anyone gotten Klip.me to work in Safari?
For non Web text/photos, I use QuickOffice on my iPad to save it docx format and then email it to my kindle using
. Note that the docx is an attachment, not copied to the body of the email.
I am officially now a happy iPad Kindler LOL.

Ray Houghton joins search for new Irish boss
THE FAI have tasked Ireland legend Ray Houghton and High Performance director Ruud Dokter with the job of identifying a new international manager as it emerged their wish to land Martin O'Neill could hinge on Chris Hughton's survival as Norwich City boss.
Ireland U-21 manager Noel King has been appointed caretaker manager for next month's concluding World Cup qualifiers against Germany and Kazakhstan after the FAI board met yesterday for the first time since Giovanni Trapattoni's departure and decided to take their time in appointing a successor.
Houghton was a member of the three-man recruitment team – Don Givens and Don Howe were the others – that helped identify Trapattoni.
Dokter, a Dutchman, took up his role with the FAI last month after being given the responsibility of overseeing the development of the game at all levels.
An FAI statement said: "After considering the views of people within the game and taking soundings from its constituent members, the board tonight decided that the next steps should include a comprehensive assessment of the market."
O'Neill retains strong support but they are keen to do more homework on the Derry native before making him an offer.
Their waiting game could be complicated by developments at Carrow Road, where the Derry man has emerged as the frontrunner to succeed Hughton if he fails to revive their fortunes.
Despite investing over €30m in new recruits over the summer, Norwich have won just once in five Premier League games.
O'Neill is a former Canaries player and manager and has always had regrets about quitting the hot seat there abruptly in 1995, citing difficulties with former chairman Robert Chase.
The prospect of the FAI making a move for his services has alerted clubs contemplating a change at the helm before Christmas.
Fulham's new owners are thought to be considering him as a possible replacement should they decide to sack Martin Jol.
Ironically, if Hughton leaves Norwich, he could be a contender for the Ireland job.
In the meantime, King will work on finalising a squad for the remaining two games of the failed World Cup campaign.
It is a huge opportunity for the 57-year-old ex-League of Ireland star, who was appointed U-21 supremo in 2010 after a decade in charge of the Irish women's team.
His assistant, Harry McCue, will take charge of the U-21s in his absence.

A big tick has been given to plans to convert a former World War II radar station near St Keverne into a rural classroom.
The 20 Acre Plantation site at the edge of Crousa Downs, at Zoar, contains the remains of wartime radar station RAF Trelanvean.
Now Mr M Tylor has applied for planning permission to convert it into a rural classroom for visiting school groups.
The idea was put to St Keverne Parish Council, which agreed unanimously to support the application.
Councillor Roger Combe said: "I think it's a great thing, to make an educational use of it."
Because the radar station was top secret there are very few records and no known original plans.
In the years since the war the site has been covered by a tree plantation, which until last year was thick with rhododendron.
This has now been removed, opening up the site for the first time in many years and allowing access to a number of the buildings including a well, toilet block, stores and possible guard hut.
These are dominated by three earth covered bunkers that once housed generators, transmitters or receivers. Further military remains such as camp barracks and radar mast positions lie to the north and south of the plantation.
Chain Home Low radar stations formed part of an early warning system against low flying enemy aircraft during World War Two.
RAF Trelanvean saw additional use in the Cold War and was finally closed in 1958.

A New Friend (泣くな悟飯! はじめての闘い。, Naku na Gohan! Hajimete no Tatakai; lit. Don't Cry Gohan! His First Fight) is the tenth episode of the Vegeta Saga in the uncut Dragon Ball Z series. The episode first aired on July 5, 1989. Its original American air date was June 28, 2005.
For the past five years, Yamcha has been working on the side as a professional baseball player for the Taitans. In the middle of a game, he is pulled out of a brawl by Krillin with the news of Goku's death and the upcoming attack of Raditz's companions. The two of them, and Puar, meet up with Bulma, who still has not forgiven Yamcha for their last breakup, and leave for their rendezvous with Kami in one of her capsule hovercars.
Meanwhile, Gohan accidentally shares a cave with an injured Apatosaurus, and after a fright, tends to its wound with a treatment his father taught him. Suddenly, while he is away gathering medicine, the carnivorous Paozusaurus that pursued Gohan earlier attacks the wounded Apatosaurus. Gohan leaps to the wounded dinosaur's defense with his new sword, but is no match, and as the boy is knocked unconscious the unlucky dinosaur is eaten.
- Many characters in this episode resemble characters from the Red Ribbon Army: the Taitans' coach Freddy Hein looks like Captain Dark, the baseball player Pepper Johnson looks like Staff Officer Black, and the baseball pitcher Rocky Rivers looks like General White.
- Yamcha playing baseball is filler, however his having a baseball career was, indeed, Akira Toriyama's idea.
