What a great place, it really was magical. 7 acres of land, a pond, full kitchen, amazing records with surround sound throughout the house, amazing selection of VHS tapes and an easy drive from Manhattan. Stores are right near the location, as well as a gas station. It was a pleasure working with the owner and her staff, they made everything very easy. Highly recommended.
My family and I had a lovely stay at the barn. The property was very clean and well maintained and the owner and manager provided very detailed and clear information about the location, layout, amenities, things to do and see in the area, etc. The location was perfect for visiting surrounding towns and state parks. We really enjoyed the extensive collection of DVD's and LP's. Thank you for a ver special stay!
I can't find the right words to explain how happy and lucky we felt to have found the Blueberry Barn. We've been living in New York for 6 years and I can easily say that this was one of the best get-aways we ever did. Everything was so great (except for the smell of the tap water) that I almost want to keep this treasure to myself and not tell anyone.
Rachel, thank you for having us - we hope to be back very soon.
My two friends and I came up to Blackberry barn the last weekend in June. We had a wonderful time, the area is incredibly rural and scenic. We primarily came to visit Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska which are about a 30 minute drive through gorgeous protected preserves and parkland. The pond and canoe are adorable and we couldn't help but put in and paddle around in circles upon arrival. The home is spacious and tastefully appointed with lots of hardwood pieces and not tacky ikea garbage. You could tell from all the books, records and little details that the owners of the house are cultured people. The kitchen had everything we could possibly want, as well as a closet stocked with outdoors and barbecue equipment. The fireplace is huge and even during 95 degree days the well-ventilated house was cool enough to have a fire indoors. Everything was clean and tidy, including all linens adn towels. The property manager Brinton was very attentive and when we had trouble figuring out how to use the stove after our late arrival he was there first thing in the morning to show us how to use it. Our summer visit was superb and we look forward to another hopefully. However with all the rich wood and fireplace we were already scheming for a winter visit. This is the perfect place to get away from the city stress and grind and truly unwind in nature.
This past weekend I stayed at the house with 5 other friends. Though the profile says it sleeps 6, two of us had to sleep on a very uncomfortable futon on the third floor. We were advised of the critters who live in the roof before our arrival, but being city girls, we didn't realize that they would wake us up before dawn with their scurrying around.
Aside from the lack of decent sleeping accommodations for all 6 of us, we were also disappointed by the musty/mildewy smell of the house, a constant stream of bugs through the kitchen, and only 5 chairs that we could pull up to the table- for the sixth person we had to take turns sitting on a stool or in a kids chair. We called the property manager to see if we could get some more chairs so we could all eat and play games comfortably, but never received a call back. I realize that this rental house was a barn, but for the price we paid I expected it to be a very clean and comfortable place to spend the weekend.
As for the outside, where we spent most of our waking hours due to asthma and the mildew, there were 6 chairs and a table, but 2 of the chairs didn't have seats, and a third broke when one of my friends sat on it, and the lovely pond and canoe didn't work out for us either because there was a hole in the bottom of the canoe.
All in all we were really disappointed in the house, especially considering how much we paid to rent it.
I surprised my boyfriend with a trip to Blackberry Barn for Christmas. We had a great time! Being from NYC, the barn felt like a totally different world. It was nice to trade in the usual Blackberry Bold for the Blackberry Barn for a few days.
Unfortunately, it wasn't the right season to enjoy most of the activities. I wish we could have seen the horses, BBQ'd outside, played in the pond, explored the area more, etc. All of the local farms were closed for the season. However, we were perfectly happy to stay in and hang out by the fire. There were plenty of kitchen supplies to make some nice meals. The barn was super clean, but the water is a bit funky. It has a sulfur smell and some black sediment at times. But, if you stock up on bottled water like they suggest, it's not a big deal. There's a gas station/convenience store just down the road, so it's very easy to pick up basics at the last minute.
We never let the record player stop spinning. Selection is very 70s-80s. Would have loved more Beatles, Stones, etc. Our dog loved having so much room to run outside, and even tried "ice skating" on the frozen pond. We would love to come back with friends in the warmer months to enjoy the activities. Although the 3 rooms are mostly separate, these are close quarters, so couples shouldn't expect much privacy time if sharing the barn with others.
Overall had a great time and a pleasant interaction with the owners/caretakers. Go stay at the barn and relaaaxxxxx.
The Barn ist eine 10 Minuten Fahrt von Minnewaska State Park und Mohonk Preserve, die einige der besten Kletter national zur Verfügung haben. Dieser Bereich auch ausgezeichnete Wander- und Mountainbikemöglichkeiten.

Chicago Crime Tours
Chicago's beautiful architecture and pristine parks stretch like a thin, deceptively pretty layer of varnish over the city's storied criminal history. The guides at Chicago Crime Tours peel back the façade to reveal the city's darkest days, replete with visits to crime scenes and tales of some of Chicago's most dastardly villains. Groups explore the hideouts of Al Capone and bullet holes left in the wake of mob shootouts. The guides' catalog of criminal knowledge reaches all the way back to city's infancy in the 19th century and includes such tales as the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre and the great baby-rattle heist of 1870.

I probably will, but more because I bought several books of the series as a Kindle Daily Deal. I really thought I would like the series, but it is not particularly well written and some of the logic to the plot is seriously lacking.
I have also not been overly impressed with Allyson Johnson as a narrator. Her voices are overdone and not convincing.
The story utterly lacks plausibility. Many of the plot twists are just kind of silly and unbelievable. The characters are not very likeable, etiher.
The narration suited the pace of the story.
The premise to this book and the series as a whole has potential. I like the concept.
- DarthVal
Good series!
Yes, I would recommend this series to anyone that likes this type of story line.
Joanna becoming Joanna again.
Love her voice and the way she changes it up.
That she had to let Ben go.
PLEASE GET THE REST OF THIS SERIES.....I'm hooked on a series now that I can't even complete. Hurry!

Livilla Darly, Ph.D., was a female Human archaeologist in the 24th century. As early as the 2350s, she worked with Dr. Jennifer Almieri, and in the 2360s, was part of her dig on the planet Drura Sextus.
At some point prior to 2377, the Drura Sextus team encountered a small group of genetically engineered shapeshifters, and following that encounter, Darly was taken captive and subjected to medical experimentation, in an effort to rediscover how the shapeshifters had originally been created.
Darly was used as a "template" by one of those shapeshifters, who assumed her appearance and her identity when she, Almieri, and a third team member, Dr. Preston Strong, returned to Earth in 2377. The duplicate Darly murdered Almieri and Strong, and also attempted to kill Dr. Elizabeth Lense. She was able to elude capture and return to her home undiscovered. (CoE eBook: Ghost)

* Is it possible to vet the information and identities of everyone users encounter on the Internet?
* Technology has been working on creating an intelligent search agent that learns an individual's search preferences. Can new "intelligent identity agents" be created to actively monitor transactions, connections and even information?
Blodget is the notorious CEP of Silicon Alley Insider, a website dedicated to and created by the New York digital business community. The site offers news, commentary, and talk about New York companies and people. It features, news, entertainment, music, gaming, digital publishing, and social networking.

I babysit today from 4:45 to 1:15. The parents were supposed to be home at 12 but they texted me at 12:10 telling me their train was delayed and they wouldn't be home for an hour. I get paid by two other families ($12 an hour and $15 dollars an hour). My friend also works for this family and she said she gets paid 15 an hour for them. Well i was there 8 and a half hours plus one hour of that was overtime and I got paid $10.60 an hour ($90 total). I am kind of upset because although we never established a price, I feel ripped off. I was babysitting for two kids, ages 5 and 11. It's not like I just sat around all night either. I was working non stop. Thoughts?
Most Helpful Guy
You never established a price and that was on you. Don't let that happen again. Baby sitter wages varies by the way. Yours is in the higher end.00|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
Technically, you weren't ripped off. You didn't agree to a rate in advance which means you are subject to whatever they choose to give you after unless they answered an ad or something and then you could have referred to that, but im guessing you were uncomfortable bringing that up to them. Next time, tell them ahead of time what your rate is, when they ask you to babysit. Then they have a choice to accept your rate or go to someone else. But i can see how you would feel the way you do. Remember though, you are trying to make money, effectively running your own small business. Always address the money expectations clearly.00|00|0

For all of Brad's enthusiasm and collection of photo equipment, he was not a very good photographer. He was not a very good network administrator. He believed in conspiracies. And worst of all he tried to cure his cancer with vitamin B.
I wanted to tell him that he was crazy. Maybe tie him up and force him to get some real medical treatment. Who's to say which one of us was more in denial? Him in believing that doctors don't know what they are doing or me believing that there was any hope.
I didn't know he had cancer when we hired him. I didn't know he had cancer when his family invested their saving in the failing company. I would have tried to stop him. But that's Brad, always positive. He came from a family that was positive. Brad's dad invested the little money he had saved as an electrician into a completely mismanaged start-up. After he signed the check, he came in the office to wire up some equipment. Never seen a guy so happy to be crawling under desk with a screw driver and a flashlight. You'd think he bought the winning lottery ticket.
I know it wasn't my fault. I didn't make him any promises. I certainly didn't suggest that he buy stock in the company. But that doesn't really lessen the guilt. I was their leader. I didn't do a very good job protecting them. Lots of people lost money. Some of them can simply write this off. But for some, it was their life savings. The company had spiraled out of control. I had lost any say in what went on from the very beginning. Still, I kept a front.
I really thought I could turn this around. I made some deals and gave up as much as I could to try to fix things. But in the end I lost. I lost my enthusiasm, my best years and nearly my life. But that is nothing compared to what Brad's family lost. They lost Brad.
So today I thanks these people, and I ask for forgiveness:
Brad, Scott, Jack, Mike, Lorraine, Jenn, Jay, Anthony, TJ, Keith, Estelle, Doreen.
Brad passed away at 5:12 p.m. Saturday, January 24, 2009. He fought a
long, hard battle with colon cancer for many years. He was 37 years
He was loved so much and will be missed even more.
Bill and Sherron

India's Kingfisher Airlines exercised options on another 15 ATR 72-500s yesterday during French President Jacques Chirac's official visit to the subcontinent. The estimated $270 million deal included options on another 20 airplanes and increased to 35 the number of ATR 72s on which Kingfisher has placed firm orders. Next month Kingfisher starts taking delivery of the first of 20 ATR 72-500s ordered just before last November's Dubai airshow and scheduled for delivery over a three-year period.
Kingfisher chairman and managing director Vijay Mallya and Avions de Transport Regional chief executive Filippo Bagnato signed the new contract in the presence of the French president, who plans to hold bilateral trade talks with Indian officials over the next three days. Kingfisher expects to use the airplanes to further develop a domestic network linked by four hubs in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bangalore. This latest batch of 15 would start to arrive at Kingfisher's bases next year, at which time ATR will likely have to double the rate at which it delivers airplanes to the Indian carrier.
This latest sale for ATR continues a run of sales success since the start of a 2005 campaign that would see it notch firm orders for 90 airplanes and collect revenues of $542 million. Asia accounted for two thirds of last year's sales, and 50 of the 61 ATRs ordered in the region came from two major Indian operators–Air Deccan, which ordered 30 ATR 72-500s, and, of course, Kingfisher.
The company projects that within four years Indian carriers will operate 100 ATRs. ATR expects to render a final decision on a dedicated spares and logistics center in New Delhi and training facilities in Mumbai and Bangalore by the first half of this year.

I feel that i know what the problem is, but i want to make sure I am thinking right in reference to how these are built. neither the Dock nor any external monitor work, if memory is serving me right, both of these ports are on the same bus, correct?? so basically if one goes, it is not abnormal for the other to go. right?

Nov 28, 2011 at 9:37 UTC
what do the dell diagnostics tests show?
you tried different monitors and docking stations?
Nov 28, 2011 at 9:40 UTC
i tried a different monitor, but i do not have another dock to try, this is pretty much the last system like this we have. i have not run the diagnostics, but after updating drivers and the test i have done, i feel pretty confident that the ports are dead.
Nov 28, 2011 at 9:54 UTC
you'll ro run the diags and call Dell to get them to fix, but they'll want the daigs too. Do you get anything at all on the 2nd monitor, eg bios etc.?
Nov 28, 2011 at 9:58 UTC
the monitor responses to the power on notice, but does not display anything. this unit was purchased in 08 and the warranty has expired so we will not be fixing it, my boss is not here today to make the call, but I am sure it will be replaced, i have a m6500 sitting here that would be perfect for this user.
Nov 28, 2011 at 9:59 UTC
all i am trying to do now is make sure i can explain why it failed, not repair it.

This game offer two different features. First is pick and win feature. You get this feature every time when girl symbols which act as wild lands on reels 1 and 5. Later you have to choose symbol on first reel or symbol on last reel. After you click on it, you get prize which can goes up to x100 bet – this is the maximum payout here at this feature. If you change your mind after you see the prize – you can pick the other symbol and you win prize on second selection.
The second feature is free spins feature. You get 12 free spins with all prizes tripled when three or more scattered club symbols appears left to right – one reels 1, 2 and 3. Free games can also be retriggered. Beside that – pick and win feature is also active during free games.
When I played it, I got twice pick and win feature. Both times during main game. And both times I won around x10 bet from it. I never changed my mind here and pick some other girl symbol to get better prize. I tried a few times to change my mind at other games and most of the time I got smaller prizes than at first selection. I also got free spins feature, but it is nothing special for me. Sure it can provide some big winnings – wilds pays good here, but to get a few wild symbols together is hard. I won from free games around x30 bet and later I closed this game.
I think this game is ok, but nothing so special for me so I will rate it with 6 stars.

Choose a light product that will light and decorate you room
Use lighting wise to illuminate and decorate any room. The proper usage can created un imaginable effects in a space. You can create a class look to elegant look and even a mystery using this simple accessory.
You might feel what is with the lighting, it is everywhere and it is a small element of any space. Yes though it is one of the vital aspects of space. A proper setting can make or break the look of the room. You can use this illuminating aspect and create any desired effects in a space.
We all know that there are certain areas in every household that require completely bright lighting while there are few spaces that look really appealing when dimly lit at times. Say for example, the hallway; this is a space is usually ignored by most. But it is a space that actually establishes connection between the various parts of the house. Just imagine the look of your hallway where you have beautifully decorated your family pictures on the wall or say any art form, a runner running the length of the space and all these aspects are perfectly highlighted with spot light fittings. Your decor will get enhanced even more now.
Similarly the living room and dining room look amazing attractive when fitted with designer lighting. Your expensive or smart accessories get a new lease of life when highlighted with the perfect illumination. Designer lights are mostly preferred as they have a class look and an unique representation for themselves. Not just this but, most companies allow creation bespoke creation of fittings that can suit the specific requirements of any space. This is exceptional useful as not every structure is same and the space available to fix a lighting product would surely vary from place to place. Hence, when the fitting can be custom designed it helps the user choose better.

Wherein Troy Dungan Tells Channel 8 Audience: "Don't Blame Me."
Friend of Unfair Park "John" (dunno if he'd want his last name used) sends what he says and what appears to be the original e-mail that prompted Troy Dungan to kindly, gently dress down Jim Schutze's fav weather man Pete Delkus yesterday afternoon. If you haven't seen the video, in which WFAA-Channel 8 vet Dungan sorta blames yesterday's missing morning forecast, it's been available at WFAA.com, as the piece titled "'You got it wrong' : Pete Delkus, Troy Dungan discuss forecast accuracy." It was up last I looked, and mighty nice of 'em to leave it up too, not like these folks. Kinda felt bad for ol' Pete there; it's like watching your dad scold your older brother for dropping the game-winning catch after The Big One.
But Pete acquitted himself nicely last night: Said there'd be a "wintry mix" Thursday night into Friday morning, then again Friday night. Then he flashed temps well above 32 during the day and merely 32 at night, which means snow and sleet and rain are, like, unlikely or something? But Pete's coverin' his ass there: Maybe it will, probably it won't. But, ya know, he's got a point: He was damned for callin' it early last weekend, and he's damned for not callin' it at all yesterday. Still, it ain't charity work. And it's sure ain't the minors.
After the jump, a From John letter. --Robert Wilonsky
From: John ******* To: email@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com; email@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 8:41:32 AM Subject: Quick Question
Is this the worst weather predicting failure in recent Metroplex history (like at least the last 5 years or so)?
I'm not just blaming you four guys, nobody had any mention of this last night. If there had been, I'm assuming the street guys would have been out sanding roads a little earlier than 8:00 AM. But there was clearly no mention of this anywhere yesterday. I drive from White Rock Lake to Ft. Worth everyday, so I've been keeping a pretty close eye on the weather the last several days.
Normally love the broadcast... really enjoyed the knuckleheads beating on the windows last night.

I listen to a LOT of music. Typically 10 hours in a day. I listen whenever I am coding, in my car running around town, and especially when on long road trips. In the past I had been happy streaming just about anything and everything to my home system, PC, or mobile apps. These days, however, the dynamic is different. These days, especially during the summer, I have my 6-year-old son running around the house. He also likes listening to music and often cranks up the Sonos living room speakers when I'm jamming to something. That brings a whole new dynamic to the experience.
About 99.8% of songs today apparently have a different definition of what explicit lyrics are. Maybe it is just me and my old age, but anything that drops the words f@ck,sh!t, n!gger, b!itch, or @ss are a definite candidate for the explicit list when my son is around. As are some other words that I can see not being considered explicit but definitely not kid friendly. Then there are the topical issues which often are accompanied by explicit lyrics. It is funny to hear a radio edit of a Lil' Wayne song. It is nothing more than a beat with a bunch of half-pronounced words and a synthesized fades on every-other syllable.
The issue, as I've been learning over the past few months, is that there is NOT A SINGLE GOOD ONLINE SERVICE FOR KID FRIENDLY MUSIC!
I started with Pandora. After 5 years of listening I had rated over 4,000 songs and built FOUR kid friendly stations that had MOSTLY filtered out the questionable content. Then they started having issues. For no reason whatsoever they suddenly started having technical problems. Songs would stop halfway through, or hang, or come out garbled. After spending 2 months with the completely useless customer service folks whose ONLY answer is "reboot the computer", I moved on. Sadly they could not comprehend it was a service issue which is why the reboots and reloads never worked. As I told them, which was clearly not on their script in the Mexico City call center, the same exact issues manifested themselves on two different computers, my tablet, my cell phone, the TiVo, the Internet-ready TV, and the RoKu box (yeah, I'm an uber tech junkie). Besides not having a great explicit lyrics filter for my needs, they also would often "run off the reservation" and suddenly play something like a blue grass stomp in the middle of a pop station. That sucked.
Then came Slacker. They have the absolute worst explicit filter going.
When I got the Sonos setup I started exploring new services and re-exploring old. Many have NO WAY to filter explicit content. Others have a favorite song marker, but no "ban song" marker. Combined with streaming explicit lyrics it was a non-starter given the insatiable appetite of today's musicians to randomly drop a completely unnecessary f-bomb or beeeyaaacchhh into the middle of as song.
The, last night, late at night while hacking SLP4 code, I randomly chose another service on the Sonos system that I had purposefully ignored. Last.FM. I am familiar with the service having used it on-and-off, mostly off, for years. I even started and still have a custom FM station running from an old account. They even send me a few pennies every month for the service But last night I revisited purely as a music listener looking for a good home. I may have found it.
While the interface is much better than it used to be, having clearly been developed by code geeks with no design experience what-so-ever (like myself), it was far behind the norm even 5 years ago. Today it is better, finally catching up with user interface design from 5 years ago, but we are 5 years in the future. At least the interface is usable, if not very pretty.
However the BIG thing with online streaming is content. Here, Last.FM is ahead of the curve IMO. Maybe I haven't listened enough but in 8 hours of listening last night I did not hear a single repeat even after staying on one "station" for hours. No other music service, other than the "playlist cycling" services can do this. Pandora is a big "repeats offender". Slacker is worse. Last.FM, at least so far, keeps the music fresh and does not seem to center around the "choice 200" for each genre. Nice.
Then there is the content and explicit filters issue. I was concerned at first because I cannot find any way to ban explicit lyrics in the 27 different setup and profile settings screens. I easily could have missed it, but I don't think they have one. What I did find, however, is that at least 80% of the time the songs that did stream were the proper radio edit versions. Not Slacker's lame excuses of why they stream explicit lyrics when you have the "do not stream explicit lyrics" setting enabled. Slacker claims "the record company did not mark the song properly" or "it is a radio edit they sang SHIP , you are hearing things" (which I am certainly not). So here, even without an explicit filter, Last.FM does pretty darn good. At least as good as Pandora and Slacker with the percentage of songs that come out of my speakers and drop and F-bomb on the living room floor right in front of my son.
However the thing that really has my attention with Last.FM at the moment is the ability to self-tag any song that streams. You can ban and favorite any song, but the tagging is HUGE. I'm not aware of any other curated service that allows you to self-tag songs and then build radio stations based heavily (exclusively) on those tags. Just gather 45 songs from any of the stations with a tag like "nicsafe" and you can start a new station. SWEEEET. I'll see how that works over the course of the next week but this could be the perfect way to create several truly safe stations for my son to listen to that I actually enjoy.
Another thing Last.FM got right that all the other services could emulate is the new user process. They walk you through a few steps, that you can easily skip, that will help create a better starting experience for a new user. To "seed" the stations and start playing music you like they start with a "select your artists" section. It is one of the best, actually it is THE BEST, method of doing this that I have seen yet. The display an array of 16 tiles with an artists photo & name on the screen. As you click on those you like they are immediately replaced with a new artist in that slot. All 16 are "lame"? Click the reload more artists button and a new array of 16 appear. I quickly loaded up 51 different artists before I tired of the setup. It was fun, but 5 minutes into it I decided I had enough to get started and moved on. Turns out that was a great move as I immediately started with the "artists I like" station and listened for over an hour to mostly songs I truly enjoy and some I've not heard in years.
Thus far the Last.FM experience has been great. It is SIGNIFICANTLY improved from my last experience with them just 18 months ago.
If you've not been to Last.FM lately, I encourage you to check it out. It won't be for everyone, but it certainly has moved way up the competition ladder and can compete with the "big boys" including my current favorites of Pandora, Slacker, and Spotify.
Rock on Last.FM, rock on!

Dulce De Tomate - Tomato Jam
Recipe by Coasty
This recipe is taken from http://fromargentinawithlove.typepad.com. The amount of tomatoes is a bit flexible, after you remove the seeds you need to have 3kg tomato flesh so prepare to have about 4-5kg tomatoes on hand. For all my jam/jelly and chutney I use jars that have a lid that will seal tight once you heat etc. I think in the US they are called Mason jars. Make sure you use new lids or you may not get a good seal.
Top Review by margmyers953
This recipes is out of this world on any meat sandwich, but I did tweak it a little by adding crushed red peppers and 3 tbsp of apple cider vinegar.
See Discussion:1 Review
Directions See How It's Made
- Wash the tomatoes and bring a large pot of water to a boil. When the water is boiling, submerge the tomatoes for a few seconds to scald them and remove to a bowl of cold water to stop the tomaotes from cooking. Peel them, cut in half and remove seeds.
- Weigh the tomatoes. For every 3kg of tomato flesh, you'll need 1.5kg sugar and 500ml water.
- Put the water and sugar in a pan on the stove top. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved in the water, making a syrup. Bring the syrup to a boil, add tomatoes, and cook for 15-20 minutes, lowering the heat to a simmer. Be sure to watch the pot so that it doesn't boil over-it gets foamy! The foam can be skimmed off the top.
- After 20 minutes, turn the stove off and let the mixture sit for a few hours.
- After a few hours, re-heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, taking care that it doesn't stick or burn. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let cook for 1-2 hours, stirring periodically. The timing is a bit vague but you want to get to the syrup to a jelly set or when the temperature stablises to 104 C (219 F).
- After this time, the tomatoes should have a shininess and transparent look.
- Prepare your jam jars. There is a number of methods but I prefer to wash the jars, drain them well then place in the oven at 100C for 15 minutes Place the lids in a pan and boil for 10 minutes.
- Pour the hot jam into the hot jars (use a jam funnel it makes it so much easier). Seal the jars immediately and then place in a pan with a cake rack at the bottom and pour over hot water to fully submerge the jars and simmer for 10 minutes (You don't want the jars to sit directly on the bottom of the pan you can also use an old tea towel).
- Remove and cool. Using this method I have not had a problem with jam spoiling.

If it does when does it get annoying?
Does the "How was your day" text get annoying?
What Guys Said 12
It gets annoying only when it is a combination of where...
1.) It is sent often, and the person who it is sent to is an introvert and isn't a big text person but feels bad about ignoring someone... so they answer it anyway as like a chore.
2.) The person who sends it doesn't really give an interesting conversation and is kind of awkward.
3.) It gets sent constantly, like everyday. It is one thing if it is two people dating and they can't talk every day or whatever so they text... but if it is just a friend it can get a bit overwhelming and such.
... Or if you don't like the person. If you don't like the person, basically any text received from them is going to annoy you.
I recommend varying up text lingo a bit and also knowing the target audience.11|00|0
What do you suggest I say then? I've been talking to this guy for 2 months. We just started texting a couple of days ago. I want to talk to him. I just don't know what else to say?
- Show AllShow Less
Okay! Great! Thank you! :)
Ask an open ended question, I usually say what have you been up to today so they can start a discussion.
It gets annoying when you make it a habit to ask that but you've observed that the other person doesn't reply with anything noteworthy.
When my girlfriend asks me about my day, I tell her what I've done, and vice versa. Usually it's not much out of the ordinary, we tend to talk more about things we think or feel. We also don't ask each other that EVERY day.00|00|0
questions are for getting to know people ! i like statements
"Hope you had a good day!"
"I really want to see you!"
"I think we need to get together this weekend"
Only if you have layer around all day doing nothing. So you have no response to that and if you keep laying around doing nothing all the time you will feel guilty and the how was your day text will become annoying. To you
Nope I've never found it annoying.11|00|0
Not really, but I don't the person who sends it doesn't expect a super detailed story of my day. Sometimes I'm not up for long messages.00|00|0
It's repetitive and so it can can get annoying after some time. I prefer it when things are spiced up a bit with a new message.00|00|0
It's another way to say I have nothing to say let's see if you do and when you call them out on it they get mad looooool. So how was your day?00|00|0
If I get it on a daily basis, sure it's annoying 😂00|00|0
I have one question: How was your day?00|00|0
Yes it does.00|00|0
I personally over analyse the crap outta these things. Honestly, yea, it'll be annoying if it's all you ask every single day. It's coming from a sweet place I'm sure and I'd appreciate it, but maybe switch things up a bit.00|00|0
What Girls Said 3
Depends on the people in question. I think a good way to judge would be this: are you always the one asking it? Or is it sometimes you, sometimes him?
If you are always the one who asks first, I'd maybe cut back. If he sometimes asks you first and it is more of a mutual conversation starter you both use then I think you are safe.00|00|0
To me that text will not ever get annoying, because it shows that they do care about you, and your well being thorugh out the day.11|00|0
It's annoying when I know it's not sincere. But when I know he truly cares, it's adorable.11|00|0

Time for Government 2.0
"Proponents claim Web 2.0 represents an historical opportunity to break down government's walls of secrecy, of data held behind the walls of siloed departments. Inside government, 2.0 lets workers compare notes and think fresh about problem-solving across organizational lines - especially liberating for younger employees who might otherwise be reluctant to buck hierarchies to expose their ideas."
"But open the same sluice gates of data to the public, argue former Indianapolis Mayor Stephen Goldsmith and others, and citizens can look inside the maze, assemble data their own way, and often help solve problems they consider the most acute."
"There's a fascinating twist to the Web 2.0 story - Its lead city is America's often-maligned national capital. 2.0 expert Stephenson argues convincingly that "Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty, and his Chief Technology Officer, Vivek Kundra, are this country's hands-down leaders on use of data feeds and data visualization." The District of Columbia is providing, in fact, 215 real-time data feeds on every area from zoning permits to health care to potholes, available to government workers, indeed any web user through its Citywide Data Warehouse (http://data.octo.dc.gov)."

Thanks for your response! I think that's actually the colour I went with on my present cake. It's a very pretty colour!
Oh, you're welcome! Any time!

It can be helpful to think of the digestive system as a tube running through the body with an opening at each end, the mouth at the top and the anus at the bottom.
The tube isn't a neat, constant shape throughout its course. It swells into a muscular storage organ at the stomach where the food you swallow is thoroughly mixed with digestive enzymes that start breaking it up into a form that the body can use.
At the exit from the stomach more essential digestive juices are added from the gallbladder and pancreas. Food particles get smaller and smaller until, in the exquisitely adapted small intestine (small only in diameter, not length) the tiniest fragments of nutrients can pass easily though the intestine wall straight into the bloodstream.
Digestive System
The basic materials we need to function are carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals and vitamins. Carbohydrates (starchy foods) are large molecules that can be turned into sugar (glucose) to provide the main energy source of the body. Glucose can also be transformed into fat and protein.
Fat is a very high energy source used throughout the body. Proteins are found in, for example, meat, pulses and grains. They are complex molecules formed from amino acids. Amino acids are like building bricks that, once digested, become available to make all the other body structures, such as muscles, nerves, organs, blood and skin.
Minerals include calcium, potassium, sodium, iron and many more. Each mineral has an important role to play in the body's metabolism, so there are specialized digestive processes that harvest them from food.
Vitamins are biochemicals of a particular type which the body cannot, on the whole, make for itself, but which are essential to cell metabolism. Even though tiny amounts are required, they are vital for making blood, bones, skin, the nervous system, energy production and much more.
The Digestive Process
Enzymes break the raw food molecules into smaller fragments, which are absorbed and transported all around the body. This begins in the mouth, where saliva starts the breakdown of starch. Digestion begins in earnest in the stomach, where food plunges into a warm highly acidic bath of hydrochloric acid mixed with enzymes.
The digestive tract can be thought of as a single, long, irregular tube and consists of the mouth and throat (pharynx), oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestines (bowels) and the anus Other organs that arc not part of the digestive tract but are important to digestion are the salivary glands, the liver, the pancreas and the gallbladder.
Food enters the digestive tract at the mouth, where it is mashed by the teeth and mixed with saliva. It passes down the oesophagus to the stomach, where it is mixed with digestive enzymes and broken down further into a semiliquid mixture. This mixture passes into the small intestine, where it is broken down into molecules that are absorbed into the blood via the liver. Indigestible material then passes into the large intestine, where some water is reabsorbed before it is excreted as faeces.
The liver produces the digestive juice bile, which is stored in the gallbladder until it is released into the small intestine.
The pancreas also secretes a digestive juice and produces the hormone insulin.
As food passes through the digestive tract it is broken down into nutrients, which are absorbed by the small intestine, and water, which is absorbed by the large intestine. Nutrients pass to the liver in the bloodstream. Faeces form in the large Intestine and collect in the rectum before excretion.
The chemical resources of the digestive system break food down within hours into usable components.The liquid mass now passes into the small intestine, the site of the bulk of both digestion and absorption. Yet more
enzymes from the pancreas attack the food, breaking down protein. Bile from the liver dissolves fat molecules.
The lining of the small intestine is composed of billions of frond-like outgrowths, which vastly increase the surface area. The outer layer of each frond contains specialized cells that actively transport molecules from the food slurry into the blood stream. Within the blood stream yet more specialized proteins pick up the newly digested food and cany it mainly to the liver for further processing.
The digestive process is by and large complete by the time that material reaches the large intestine – called the colon. Huge quantities of bacteria live in the large intestine and complete the digestion of tough carbohydrate fibres. Water and minerals are also reabsorbed there.
The process of digestion is under an array of biochemical and nerve controls, which are far from fully understood. These cause the right enzymes to appear at the right times and regulate acid and bile production. They influence the complicated muscle layers in the walls of the bowels, which sweep food through the system and which expel it at the end.
Digestive Disorders
Many bowel problems revolve around the production of excess acid (ulcers, indigestion and heartburn), the upward escape of acid (hiatus hernia) and disordered movements of the intestine (constipation, diarrhoea and irritable bowel syndrome). The rapid turnover of cells within the digestive tract predisposes to cancer, especially of the stomach and large intestine.
Large Intestine
We hear a lot. about the large intestine (large in diameter) or colon, or more familiar still, the bowel, because it seems to be the focus of many common complaints. Its function in the body is really very simple, it's there to ensure that precious nutrients and water aren't lost. Its main job is to absorb water from its fluid contents. When the stream of digested food leaves the small intestine it 's liquid, very runny. Wren we pass it as a stool it's solid. Its passage through the large intestine has brought about this change, purely through the absorption of water.
The rectum too can absorb water from faeces, in fact, it will wring faeces dry if they stay in the rectum too long. So if the "call to stool" is ignored for any length of time faeces can become stony hard and difficult, even painful, to pass.
This form of constipation is often thought of as a fault of the bowel or diet, but it isn't. It's simply due to not emptying the rectum soon enough. And it can be cured by heeding the call to stool as soon as you're aware of it, even though the pressure to ignore it and do something else is strong. Laxatives aren't necessary to cure this type of constipation, only retraining yourself to heed what your bowel is telling you to do. If you don't, your bowel won't bother to send you the signal and your "constipation" will worsen.
Oesophageal Cancer and Bowel Cancer
If I were to try to pull out the headlines of what we've discovered over the last decade two topics would immediately spring to mind, both of them cancer, oesophageal cancer and bowel cancer. The first is referable to heartburn. For decades heartburn has been thought of as nothing more than a mild irritation, a troublesome form of indigestion. In the last live or so years, however, we've come to realize that recurrent heartburn, especially if it's left untreated, can eventually result in malignant change of the lower end of the gullet where it enters the stomach.
It's caused by the chronic irritation from acid gastric contents, which regurgitate into the lower part of the oesophagus. Here, the lining has no protection from the burning effect of stomach acid. By contrast the stomach lining is covered with a thick protective layer of mucus, so acid never reaches the delicate walls of the stomach lining.
Rigorous treatment of heartburn can prevent cancerous change, so you must seek advice from your doctor if you have a long-term problem.
We know more and more about bowel cancer. In the UK it kills approximately 18,000 people every year and it's almost certainly due to die fact that our Western diet now contains too little fibre (mainly fruit and vegetables). We can help the next generation by making sure our children eat the magic number of five fruits a day.
Signs of Bowel Cancer
There are two cardinal signs of bowel cancer. The first is seeing blood in your stool, though that's a rather late sign. Before that you'll probably have noticed a change in your bowel habits, going more or less often than you used to, a touch of constipation or diarrhoea where previously you had none. Or a sudden change in the shape of the stool narrow where previously it had been round. This change in the bowel habit, in middle age or later, is a sign you must heed and discuss with your doctor.
Peptic ulcer now has a new cause. We used to think it was due to too much stomach acid. We now know it's due to an infection, a new infection, with Helicobacter pylori. Treatment has been revolutionised in the last 10 years.
Now antibiotics are the Ivnchpin and, as the bacterium is difficult to eradicate, the course lasts a minimum of two weeks, along with other medicines to increase the effectiveness of the antibiotic. One course of treatment and nearly everyone is cured! Now, that's an advance on the old days.

Life in Nashville TN is more than cornbread, beans and biscuits…It has a new vibe…If you have never been to Nashville, now it is time. Nashville art and entertainment arena is booming. One of the most growing trends in Nashville is fine and contemporary art. Nashville art has also been evolving, changing and embracing new cultures. Nashville lifestyle is more than country music, cowboy hats and corn bread. You do not have to travel to East Coast or West Coast to find urban or fine art galleries.
Nashville art has a new vibe because of talented artists and fine art trendsetters like Olga Alexeeva, the owner of a fine art gallery "O"Gallery in the Marathon village. She is also an amazing artist, an inspiration to Nashville business owners and a powerful female entrepreneur who built an incredible reputation in her business circles. She left Soviet Union with her son to start a new chapter of her life and came to Nashville TN.
Among all the places she made Nashville her home. A former actress and mother of an 11-year old son at that time, Olga Aleexeva had the courage to start a new life, from the very beginning. It took her some time to learn English and develop new friends and relationships. Working diligently and with her optimistic, daring nature – her artistic ability sustained her through thick and thin.
She started to paint quite unexpectedly – the hidden, artistic soul begging to get out. Never having expressed herself through painting, she is now vigorous in her search for her own way and unique voice. Her work reflects her cry for beauty, her desire to nurture the eye, challenge the intellect, and provoke the subconscious…perhaps her stage background telling us stories.
"Color and forms were always in my life – on the stage, where I spent 13 years as a professional actress, or at home – I always felt mysterious meaning of shadows and movement of a body, strange order of average things around me. I had to follow the summon of nature to express and reflect. It excites me to pull colors together and create another entity. Now I live it and love it.
Nobody becomes an artist unless they have to.' So, my 'have to' is now a reality and is available for you to experience. You are invited to visit my expressions on canvas and share my joy of co-creating. Reality is not only what we see, it's also what we imagine. I invite the viewer to a Wonderland, where everything is possible." – Olga Alexeeva

Guys how do you know you are attractive? Do you think is there any correlation between your attractiveness vs peoples behaviour/attention towards you?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 1
I know I'm attractive when i hear people tell me i look pretty. And i don't see comments saying I'm ugly in any of the pictures i post so...
i think there isn't a relationship between peoples' behavior towards me, they don't talk to me because i behave weirdly.
as for attention, nope. people don't really notice me.00|00|0
What Guys Said 2
I think as a man you don't really notice unless you're at either one of the extreme ends of the scale: 1s and 2s get treated badly, 9s an 10s get treated very well, 3s through 8s get treated normally. I'm pretty sure I'm in that gray middle. I think women start getting treated better (same as male 9s and 10s) if they're 6s or 7s, and 8s through 10s get treated like royalty.
If you get complimented a lot00|00|0
I dont think guys directly get complimented for their looks like women.

In 2003, Kathleen Flinn, a 36-year-old American living and working in London, returned from vacation to find that her corporate job had been eliminated. Ignoring her mother's advice that she get another job immediately or "never get hired anywhere ever again", Flinn instead cleared out her savings and moved to Paris to pursue a dream: a diploma from the famed Le Cordon Bleu cooking school. The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry is the touching and remarkably funny account of Flinn's transformation as she moves through the school's intense program and falls deeply in love along the way. Flinn interweaves more than two dozen recipes with a unique look inside Le Cordon Bleu amid battles with demanding chefs, competitive classmates, and her "wretchedly inadequate" French. Flinn offers a vibrant portrait of Paris, one in which the sights and sounds of the city's street markets and purveyors come alive in rich detail. The ultimate wish-fulfillment audiobook, her story is a true testament to pursuing a dream. Fans of Julie & Julia, Almost French, and Eat, Pray, Love will be amused, inspired, and richly rewarded by this seductive tale of romance, Paris, and French food.More
"Kathleen Flinn's tale of chasing her ultimate dream makes for a really lovely book: engaging, intelligent, and surprisingly suspenseful." (Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love)
"The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry is an engaging story about a fantasy fulfilled. It's Under the Tuscan Sun goes to cooking school." (Michael Ruhlman, author of The Soul of a Chef)
