XkinCare – Skin Care Online
Take good care of your skin, a'ight?RSS 2.0
Tips for Flawless Asian Skin
Asian skin is very unique. Human beings have evolved in such a way that the body naturally adapts itself to live in a certain geographical area. This is why people from different parts of the world have different and unique characteristics in their skin.
When it comes to Asians, you will notice that they usually have oily skin. This is because Asians generally have more sebum glands than people in other parts of the world, like for instance America or other western countries. Asian skin is also particularly vulnerable to sun damage. Below, you will find a few good tips for flawless Asian skin.
Don't fight the oil production
The most prevalent mistake that Asian women make, when it comes to skin care is that they fight the natural oil production of their skin, at all times. Instead of using cleansers and scrubs to always clean away your oily pores, let them be and cleanse the skin using very mild cleansers. As far as exfoliation is concerned, please limit exfoliation of facial skin to just once a week. Exfoliating the skin or cleansing it too often will mean that you will actually be encouraging more oil production, as sebum glands become aggravated and overactive, thereby providing you with counterproductive results.
Preventing dark spots
Though many Asians are thankful for the fact that their skin is not as prone to wrinkles as people from other parts of the world, they are usually well aware of the prevalence of dark spots or sun spots that can easily affect Asian skin.
As the old saying goes, prevention is better than cure and it definitely applies to dark spots. Do your best to keep the dark spots from affecting your skin in the first place. To do that, you will need the best of protection against the sun. Use high quality sunscreens that will make use of strong sun blocking ingredients such as zinc. You must also make it a point to re-apply sunscreen every now and then and also try to stay out of the sun during peak hours.
If sun spots have already begun to affect you, try some anti-aging creams that will contain an ingredient called hydroquinone, a mild bleaching element that will even out your skin tone. Some skin brightener creams will also be able to remove sun spots and correct uneven skin tone.
Vitamin C
When you buy moisturizers, try to shop for those that contain vitamin C as an active ingredient. Vitamin C will promote the production of natural collagen in your skin. The collagen will then work with your sunscreen to prevent dark spots or sun spots from affecting your skin.
It is not just beauty products with Vitamin C that will help Asians when it comes to skin care. Vitamin C in a diet can also prove to be very beneficial as well.
Tomatoes and Zinc in your diet
Asian cuisine will generally make use of a lot of tomatoes. If for some reason you are an Asian who is not a big fan of tomatoes, you must reconsider that preference as tomatoes contain an ingredient called lycopene, a natural antioxidant, helping you reverse skin damage caused by the sun.
Make it a point to also include foods that are rich in zinc. Foods such as oysters, red meat and even lentils contain generous amounts of zinc that has a natural tendency to fight against inflammation of the skin. It will reduce the chances of an acne breakout and will also increase the production of collagen which will in turn protect your skin against damage by the sun.

TEDxBrighton was outstanding. In fact it's not going too far to say that it was life changing, for me. There was no BIG WOW moment but as more than 48 hours have passed since I left the event, I know that I will do some things differently from now on. And there are some things that I will talk to people about that I would not have spoken about before.
Part of the slow burn realisation of quite how brilliant the day was is due undoubtedly to the fact that the strongest emotion I felt when leaving the Sallis Benney Theatre was relief. A room full of two hundred and fifty strangers (with the exception of a handful of lovely people that I've met less than a handful of times) fills me with deep deep dread. But TED is all about Ideas Worth Spreading and for this reason I feel it's my "duty" somehow to share some of what I learnt.
The people who shared their stories on the day were all doing so under the "Reasons to be Cheerful" banner. The sub title for the day was "an optimistic look forward". I'm glad about the sub title because the majority of the speakers had too much to say, were too impassioned (thankfully) by what they were talking about to fit into the "having a happy disposition; in good spirits" (as defined by my battered Collins) category.
If you retrospectively named the day – you might have called it Human Resilience, or Hope. Human resilience gives you cause for hope, which is a reason to be cheerful. Something like that.
This isn't an exhaustive write up and I haven't covered everyone. It seems a bit mean not to, but it's a reflection of the time I have and what really stuck in my head rather than a reflection of anything else. The videos go on line soon and I didn't take a single note on the day.
My appreciation of the day is split into 3 sub sections. Hope, nudity and technology.
Professor Angie Hart spoke about resilience and her talk gave me hope for the strength of the human spirit. Angie's stories were based on her own family - having "accidentally" (her words) adopted three children with special needs - and her professional experiences as a family and child psychotherapist. She spoke about research that has uncovered the human ability to develop "resilient moves" which is certainly "something to be optimistic about".
Sally Kettle, was the most natural story teller of the day. Elegant and touching her message was about the importance of inspiring people, with a very human sub plot about the frailty of human relationships, particularly the mother and daughter one. Despite difficult challenges (rowing across the Atlantic), everyone lived happily ever after and their lives were changed for the good. About hope, she said "hope isn't an action plan" which was one of those phrases from that day that stuck in many heads.
On the subject of happiness – there was Mappiness – an iPhone application that maps how we feel. I'd read about it previously but I've not bought – although I might now. Promoting the app certainly wasn't the point though. "Mapping happiness across time and space" is the point. Very heart warmingly it seems we are happier when we are outside and following sporty or natural pursuits. And even more interestingly, it seems that the respondents become happier over time. It left me thinking that this means that when we become consciously aware of what makes us happy, we elect to do those things more often. Which makes us more happy……
Dr David Bramwell did something that I really really want to do with my family – but never will. He went in search of Utopia and during the course of a year visited various communities. The Findhorn Foundation, one of the places he visited, is somewhere I've been. At the time it stuck in my memory not as a spiritual haven though but as the sole reason for the survival of the local post office. Staying with friends a couple of years ago who live next to the foundation, I learnt that without the regular numbers from The Foundation receiving unemployment benefit from the local post office, the PO would have closed down years ago. It helps the locals love the Foundation. In the queue for the ladies at the coffee break I met someone who had been to the anarchist commune of Christiania. I think we were equally surprised to randomly meet someone else who had been to one of the exposed places.
David's story was charming and human and gave you the "start somewhere no matter how small" nugget. He explains how he learnt the lesson of "picking up the gum wrapper" faced with leaving a commune in West Coast America that he really didn't want to leave. Watch his video because he has some great ideas for implementing what he learned in Brighton. Of all the communes he studies I liked the Italians best. They had some completely bonkers myth (involving aliens, naturally) that framed their existence but crucially, they explained it was their myth. I'd feel a lot more comfortable with Christianity if we embraced it in these terms.
SPOILER WARNING: So David's ideas involve introducing the communal hot tub ritual, prevalent in many of the communities that he visited, to Brighton sea front. Naked council meetings were just one of the visions he painted, all in beautifully landscaped pools close to the sea. Never say never.
We had real nudity too in the form of a life model. Jake Spicer explained how we are comfortable with our ability to draw as children but most of us become increasingly uncomfortable as we become adults. I know this is true for many things; we instinctively understand something that we grow away from in adulthood. Jake's talk affected me most immediately and personally because he brought on a life model and having told us all we can draw, we all did. Actually I have no idea whether we all did. But I did. And I didn't question that I could and I am so proud of the drawing that I have kept it. Jake said that when people say they cannot draw, what they really mean is that they cannot see. I like that distinction; I think it's powerful.
Laying things bare in business was passionately put across by Will McInnes. His talk might more obviously come under Hope because he spoke about the 4 "subversive and even ridiculous" elements of NixonMcInnes, the business that he co-founded on democractic principles. These are Happiness, Openness, Participation and Energy. He covered each ingredient in detail, down to how they measure the happiness levels of everyone who works in the company – how many places do that? But the reason I'm putting it in the nudity slot is because it does seem to be all about laying things bare. Those time wasting questions that niggle about who does what and who earns what – set it out for everyone to see and then get on with the much more exciting and rewarding business of doing your job. Will gave some interesting background as to why he thinks this is the best and most sustainable way to run a business too.
TECHNOLOGY IS EMPOWERING, once we learn how to use it.
Dr Judith Good spoke about how technology can be used to bring about deep and lasting learning changes. The thing that sticks in my mind the most is the software that lets children write their own video games. If we believed the Daily Mail and Panorama, children with some behavioural challenges would build games based solely on death and destruction. Watch the video in a few weeks and you'll see that their aspirations are far more romantic, full of valour and traditional values (like kissing their mum goodbye before dashing off to the battle field).
Our relationship with technology, described by Sarah Angliss, was more mechanical. Watch her video because the audio track is so important but in a weakly summarised nutshell, she traces the clog dance of the Lancashire cotton mill workers to the oppressive deafening machinery. Deprived of any other outlet for self expression, unable to move their arms and unable to speak, the mill workers moved their feet in time to the machines, spawning a dance. A similar thing occurred in the car making factories in Detroit, the home of techno. She presented a harmonious partnership between man and machine, where the machine is a crucial part of our creativity.
Antony Mayfield also spoke about our relationship with technology and described how we are just beginning to understand how to use the web. The challenges of information overload and distraction are ones that many of us face. But I loved hearing about it in the context of what Sarah Angliss came on later to say (if it had been my running order I'd have put her on first – that's not a gripe – but it would have helped with the poetry of the day for me). As well as offering some antidotes to staying focussed in the potentially mind fogging cloud of connections that the web offers, presenting 3 super skills, he also made you see how magic these connections are, how immense and important it is – and that we don't really know quite what it will deliver yet. It's probably thanks to Antony's talk that I am writing this on a Sunday evening when I should be asleep.
The day, in summary, seemed to get across how hugely resourceful we humans are and painted our innate potential and need to do good, be up-beat and innitiate positive change, despite adverse conditions.
The biggest personal change in mindset came about after a conversation I had with the one random stranger I was brave enough to talk to during the afternoon tea break. But that's a whole other conversation, for another day.
My final few words are in grateful praise of Tom Bailey who made it all happen.

School safety panel will be 'reasonable, not reactionary'
Members of Gov. Bob McDonnell's School and Campus Safety Task Force vowed Monday that their recommendations on keeping Virginia's schools safe would be based on fact and not emotion.
The task force – charged with evaluating the safety of schools and campuses throughout the state – was assembled by McDonnell in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting last month in Newtown, Conn.
"I thought in the wake of that terrible tragedy, it would be prudent to get all of our leading experts from all disciplines together to gather around a table or two, and talk about what can we do better," McDonnell said.
After a gunman shot and killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary, some called for immediate measures, such as banning assault weapons or placing armed personnel in schools.
However, Marla Decker, Virginia's secretary of public safety and a co-chair of the task force, said the group's recommendations would not be reactionary but rather based on data, analysis and evidence.
"We must take a reasonable, methodical approach to school and campus safety," Decker said. "This doesn't mean that the task force should not think creatively – it should. But we must take a logical approach to sending recommendations to the governor and to the General Assembly."
Some members of the task force are no strangers to tragedies such as the shooting in Connecticut. Task force member Allen Hill recalled the death of his daughter, Rachel, who at 18 was killed in the mass shooting at Virginia Tech in April 2007.
McDonnell noted that Virginians may have particular insight into what Newton residents are experiencing.
"Perhaps no state is more familiar with this kind of inexplicable tragedy than Virginia after April 16, 2007 at Virginia Tech," McDonnell said. "Many of you have been a part of that recovery."
When a deranged student killed 32 people at Tech, McDonnell was the state's attorney general and Tim Kaine was governor.
After that massacre, McDonnell said, he and Kaine worked together and "came out with specific advice, an executive order and changes to firearms and reporting protocol all within 30 days. So I'm confident that if all of you take a look at where we are right now, you also can come up with some initial recommendations in a short period of time."
McDonnell issued an executive order creating the task force on Dec. 20, just six days after the Sandy Hook shootings. He appointed the task force last week. It has 45 members, ranging from teachers, law enforcement officials and mental health practitioners to legislators, parents and students.
One of the task force members is state Delegate Margaret Ransone, R-Kinsale, a mother of two.
"I think that being a mom and wanting to make sure that our children are safe will absolutely play a part," she said. "I have an 11-year-old and a 7-year-old, both in public schools. But because of the oath I took, my decisions will be fully based on the information that we have."
The task force will have three main subgroups: education, mental health and public safety. These subgroups will work together to produce the most effective results, Decker said.
The task force plans to send its initial recommendations to the governor by Jan. 31. The first round of recommendations will focus on issues that require legislation or budget appropriations, Decker said.
The task force is scheduled to issue a final report by June.
McDonnell apologized to the panel for the tight deadlines. But he said time was of the essence.
"I think that we have a very important duty to make sure in our education system, K-12 or university, every person has the ability to work hard and gain access to the American dream and to do it in a safe and secure environment," McDonnell said.
"For the most part we've been able to do that in our state pretty well. But I think these events have called upon us, once again, to look at all aspects of school and campus safety and say, 'Is there something we can do better?'

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

SAN FRANCISCO - MARCH 02: A forward facing camera is seen on the new iPad 2 during an Apple Special event to unveil the new iPad 2 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts on March 2, 2011 in San Francisco, California. Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad 2 as the successor to its popular tablet, the iPad. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
Days after the iPad 2 announcement, many are wondering just how powerful the new iPad 2 cameras will be -- and they may be disappointed to learn that both are likely less than 1 megapixel each.
The numbers were crunched over at Wired, where the 720-pixel playback will work for video, but take low-quality still images. For example, it would be the same 1-,megapixel photos that my 2003 Motorola Razr could take. (None of this is certain until an iPad 2 makes its way into someone hands first, so expect the teardown some time next week.) My Droid 2 -- which has one of crappiest cameras known to smartphones -- takes 5-megapixel still shots. The iPhone 4's camera is 5MP and the iPhone 3G is 3MP.
OK, I know it's probably not that big of a deal for most would-be iPad 2 owners, plus anyone running around taking photos with their iPad 2 will look like a complete dork, but it's more about the idea that Apple installed a crappy feature. It makes the iPad 2 seem like a rushed, sloppy product created to make a deadline. Perhaps it was.

Here's how RW members rated this race (10 votes).
In short: Great routeDate of review: April 17, 2014
In short: Excellent event on closed roads - fantastic organisation from beginning to end!Date of review: April 1, 2014
In short: Excellent and professional race organization, fast and traffic-free routeIn full: Marshals along the route were very professional, fast and traffic-free route with first 3-4 kms + final 3-4 kms on the flat Mercedes-Benz test track. Great event for runners and for spectators (they can sit at the Mercedes-Benz Centre's coffee shop near the start-finish. Byfleet rail station just 15-20 mins walk from the start. Date of review: March 31, 2014
In short: Great run. Fab facilities. Enjoyable routeIn full: For me, this was a great race. The route was varied and helped by perfect weather for running. The last 2 miles back on the track were a bit of a drag but at least we knew what to expect. The start was fine as there were not huge numbers but could end up being chaotic with more runners. The Weybridge residents who did come out so early with the clocks changing were very supportive, even the man in his dressing gown. I really enjoyed my day and hope this race continue to grow. Well done 2.09Date of review: March 30, 2014
In short: Well organised flat raceDate of review: March 30, 2014
In short: Very happyDate of review: March 30, 2014
In short: A well organised event at such a prestigious and historic location.In full: A well organised event at such a prestigious and historic location. I think we were also very fortunate with the weather. This time last year I ran the Cranleigh 21 and it was bitterly cold.For an inaugural event I thought the organisation was impeccable. After a long gap of no half-marathons in north-west Surrey there is suddenly an influx. The Surrey Half marathon, three weeks ago, probably eclipsed this event and now we hear that there is another in October from Walton on Thames. The road closures meant that there was plenty of room to run at the start of the race towards Webridge station. Not only was the route cleverly designed so as to keep the closures to a minimum but the use of a professional company to marshal the junctions was an interesting, but presumably expensive concept, and because of the extraordinary early start there did not seem to be any visible issues with either upset residents or irate motorists. (See letter in the Woking News and Mail this week to see how some residents were perturbed with road closures during the Surrey Half). Perhaps on the negative side I was surprised there was no race clock at ten miles or even intermediate timing mats to deter cheating along the course. At the Great North Run you spot the finish gantry one mile away, but at Brooklands when you joined the former airfield strip you could see the finish gantry clearly but still had two miles to run – this was most agonising.Having the use of the excellent facilities (catering, toilets, chairs) at Mercedes building was an added bonus. I hope you will continue to hold this in future years – though clearly there were enormous costs involved – road closures, hire of Mercedes complex, payment to marshals for car parking and traffic control. At the Surrey Half the capacity of the roads was probably at a maximum, but at NO stage during the event, even doing the "Swiss-roll" during the first two miles, did I feel my running was restricted by the volume of runners, so plenty of room for additional runners in 2015 and beyond.I am just wondering, if there are many adverse comments about the tedium of the two miles at the start and finish, what I call the swiss-roll, would it be possible to amend the route slightly so that you arrange to run through the Brooklands Museum site which is accessible by an adjacent gate? This would make the race a very unique course indeed. Brooklands has been famous for motor racing, cycling (both pedal and motor) all pre-war, and it may be worth trying to make a play the historic connections with these endurance sports and saying that this continues in the form of an annual half-marathon in the twenty first century. Date of review: March 30, 2014
In short: Great event - lovely venue, fun running on the race test track for first and last few miles, nice flat course, great one for spectators, loved it! Would highly recommend.Date of review: March 30, 2014
In short: Great organisation & T shirt, bit pricey but would do it aginIn full: Nasty early start at 8am when the clocks go forward as well, but good to finish at a reasonable time so have the rest of the day with family. Great café and facilities at Brooklands. Race well organised and nice technical t shirt. Would do again as on my doorstep with closed roads. I'm sure will get bigger each year.Date of review: March 30, 2014
In short: Enjoyable event, great to have opportunity to run at BrooklandsIn full: For the first event, it was a good one. The organisation was spot on and that makes these things so much better. The course went from pan flat on the track to undulating out into Weybridge but that made it more interesting. Support, where there was some, was great but the overall atmosphere, in my opinion, was quiet and not as uplifting as other races, maybe due to the fact that this is the first race. Also, timing of the event is perfect before some of the big spring marathons.Overall, thoroughly enjoyed with nice goody bag/T-Shirt/Medal and would definitely do again.Date of review: March 30, 2014

As Chicago mayoral candidates enter the final day countdown with less than 24 hours before voters finally voice their choice, one thing is clear about the months-long race.
Cash is king.
Two of six mayoral candidates made the list of the Top 50 richest campaign war chests in Illinois, a Sun-Times investigation found.
Front-runner Rahm Emanuel ranked first with more than $8 million, according to Illinois State Board of Elections records. Gery Chico ranked fifth with a little more than $2 million.
Miguel del Valle, Carol Moseley Braun, Patricia Van Pelt-Watkins and Bill "Doc" Walls didn't make the top 50.
An obvious second place went to Ald. Ed Burke (14th Ward), coming in at $6.6 million.
Election Day polls open at 6 a.m. Tuesday and close at 7 p.m. Monday is the last day for in-person absentee voting at 69 W. Washington St.
Here are the Top Five richest campaign war chests:

Global Malware Protection Security Connected NextGeneration Intrusion Prevention Unparalleled Threat Protection Performance & Scalability Visibility & Control Network Security Platform ANALYSIS EXTENSIONS CENTRALIZED SECURITY & RISK MANAGEMENT GLOBAL THREAT INTELLIGENCE equals one security event. With the need to identify stealthy and zero-day threats based on behavior, tens or even hundreds of alerts are needed to define one security event. Legacy IPS systems built with the assumption that one alert equals one security event are driven by interfaces that list alerts as they come in, one on top of the other, the newest alert going on top. "Even with the sheer volume of attack alerts, which is accelerating, this model would be overwhelming to most security operators. But when you consider the complication of having to aggregate and correlate related alerts to build the evidence for one stealthy security event, the task becomes all but impossible," said Smith. McAfee Network Security Platform release 7.5 automatically correlates alerts and highlights the events they indicate. Underlying details such as individual alerts and packet-level forensics are still there when operators need to drill down. This VISIBILITY EXTENSIONS approach maximizes the operators' ability to find and stop attacks. It also significantly reduces the time and effort needed to do this, meaning security operators are free to focus on other pressing needs, and operational costs go down. Because networks will remain attractive targets, McAfee Network Security Platform release 7.5 ultimately is an investment in both the present and the future. The network is the main point where today's attacks occur, and it's the last place where organizations can afford to cut corners. ABOVE Figure 2: Contextual awareness tools.

Unemployment in the Charlottesville area is on the rise.
The latest numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show Charlottesville's unemployment rate jumped to 5.3 percent in January. That's up from 5.1 a year ago, and almost a whole percentage point from December.
Despite the increase, Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce President Timothy Hulbert say it's not time to worry just yet.
"When you have a bad number, you need to look at it and understand it in context. This is one month, this is really the first month in quite a long time where we've seen that uptick," said Hulbert.
Between December and January, the number of people employed in the Charlottesville area fell by almost 10,000.
Hulbert says that's his biggest concern, but it will take longer to see if this is part of a downward trend.

Questions? Contact Us
Brain tumors and brain tumor treatment can lead to a variety of physical problems and disabilities. The physicians and caregivers in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin can help patients manage these problems through a variety of medical and therapeutic interventions.
The rehabilitation team's objective is to help patients regain as much function, comfort and independence as possible. The care team works with patients to understand their goals and craft solutions that meet their specific situations.
Hemiplegia is weakness and loss of function on one side of the body. It is seen most often in people who have had a stroke, but it can affect brain tumor patients.
Hemiplegia in brain tumor patients is often accompanied by muscle spasticity. Some patients experience musculoskeletal pain, including a condition known as frozen shoulder, an inflammation of the shoulder joint that causes immobility. Treatments for these conditions include physical therapy, medications, gait training, and occupational therapy.
Special exercises can stretch and strengthen the patient's muscles, alleviating the symptoms of hemiplegia, spasticity and frozen shoulder.
Spasticity can be treated with medications, and Botox can be helpful in improving muscle function. Various medications are available for musculoskeletal pain.
Patients with hemiplegia can experience difficulty walking. Gait training can help them overcome balance and vision problems and weakness.
Patients learn how to compensate for loss of function in performing the activities of daily life.
Some patients who receive chemotherapy develop peripheral neuropathy — damage to the peripheral nerves that can result in numbness in the feet, balance problems and difficulty walking. Gait training and other interventions can help many patients who develop these problems.
Radiation therapy for brain tumors can sometimes lead to cognitive side effects and deficits. The physicians of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department coordinate with the Neuro-Oncology Cognitive Clinic to help patients manage these issues. Options include speech therapy, memory improvement strategies and various cognitive exercises.
Patients with spinal tumors can access full rehabilitation services through the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin SpineCare Program. This multidisciplinary clinic includes physician specialists and therapists who can help patients regain function following spine surgery and treatment.

iDisorder: changes to your brain's ability to process information and your ability to relate to the world due to your daily use of media and technology resulting in signs and symptoms of psychological disorders - such as stress, sleeplessness, and a compulsive need to check in with all of your technology. Based on decades of research and expertise in the "psychology of technology," Dr. Larry Rosen offers clear, down-to-earth explanations for why many of us are suffering from an "iDisorder." Rosen offers solid, proven strategies to help us overcome the iDisorder we all feel in our lives while still making use of all that technology offers. Our world is not going to change, and technology will continue to penetrate society even deeper leaving us little chance to react to the seemingly daily additions to our lives. Rosen teaches us how to stay human in an increasingly technological world.
Larry Rosen is past chair and professor of Psychology at California State University, Dominguez Hills. He is a research psychologist and computer educator, and is recognized as an international expert in the "Psychology of Technology." Dr. Rosen and his colleagues have examined reactions to technology among more than 30,000 children, teens, and adults in the United States and in 23 other countries. Dr. Rosen has been a commentator on Good Morning America, MSNBC, Fox News Channel, CNN, and Lifetime Television, and has been quoted in hundreds of magazines and newspapers, including Newsweek, the Los Angeles Times, Newsday, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The New York Times, and USA Today. He is a featured blogger for Psychology Today and has spoken to audiences around the world for the past 30 years on how technology is affecting our way of life. He lives in San Diego, California.
Thoughtful, clearly written and full of ideas and data you'll want to throw into dinner-party conversation"--The New York Times
"Rosen's ideas are thought-provoking, and the changes he suggests are realistic to implement. Very readable."--Library Journal Xpress
"In iDisorder, Dr. Larry Rosen takes readers on a thought-provoking tour of how new technology is dramatically changing our lives and redefining what we consider normal versus disordered behavior." --Gary Small, M.D., director of UCLA Center on Aging and bestselling author of The Memory Bible
"Rosen's book, iDisorder, tells us how not to let too much of a good thing become a bad thing. Digital technologies are machines that can enhance or harm our minds. Rosen tells us how to keep our minds safe and sane."--James Paul Gee, Mary Lou Fulton Presidential professor of Literacy Studies, Arizona State University
"Well-researched insights into the impact of technology on our psychological well-being and mental health. Rosen continues to serve as a pioneer in the field with this groundbreaking book that provides guidance and expertise on the deeper roots of psychological problems related to technology use." —Dr. Kimberly Young, author of Caught in the Net and Internet Addiction: A Handbook and Guide for Evaluation and Treatment
"In iDisorder, Dr. Rosen provides comprehensive coverage of many mental health issues facing our overuse of technology. This complex and challenging book provides clear and concise guidance when dealing with these issues."—Martin A. Saeman, managing editor, The National Psychologist
"iDisorder is a futurist psychologist's fascinating glimpse into the 21st century. In this book, Rosen shows you and your loved ones how to regain control over your technology-centric lives."- Pat DeLeon, former president American Psychological Association

Jaime Pressly Talks Divorce And DUI
It's been a tough 2011 so far for Jaime Pressly, who is currently fighting a DUI charge, and recently filed for divorce.
Now, Pressly has decided to clear the air and open up about her divorce and DUI charge.
Here's what she had to say about the DUI with regards to her divorce:
"People thinking my divorce is happening because of the situation. Truth is: these are all isolated incidences."
"I don't ever want my son grow up and read all these false statements."
"I have no problem saying that I'm responsible for my own actions. I'm also human and never claimed to be perfect."
More from Pressly about her divorce:
"We fell in love quickly. We got married very quickly. It didn't work out the way we wanted it to. There's nothing more to it."
And more from Pressly about comments people have been making about her "abilities as a mother":
"When I hear the statements made that are so ridiculously unkind and untrue, it breaks my heart. It's really hurtful on so many levels that I can't even explain it."
"I've watched so many people make mistakes, and never wanted to be that person. I've been in the business for 16… 17 years. And I've been very good."
People certainly do mistakes, Jaime. The best thing you can do is push forward, pay your debts, face the consequences, and always keep your son's well-being in mind.
As we said before, things will turn around. Stay strong.

Look! Folding Screen Headboard
We've been all about headboard ideas lately, so here's another to add to the list. Finding a unique folding screen on Craigslist is pretty easy, and we particularly like the repeated black outlines on each white section. It adds some personality to this cozy bedroom, and creates a new graphic pattern that echoes the wide yellow striped blanket.

LOVE the room!
i am so jealous i didn't come up with this. i am headed straight to chinatown after work, i have been trying to think of a headboard solution for forever!
I am in love with that wire basket! Anyone know of a good web resource for this, or something similar?
Want that headboard.
Kellylc - I would maybe look at antique fairs or the smaller antique/used furniture shops. Maybe bring in a photo to show them and they can call you if one comes in.
The calico corners in lancaster, pa has one on clearance for $115 minus 20% off (sale this week). they'd probably ship it. I think it had a tan velvet upholstery.
agreed, Kellylc, was thinking the same thing - anyone know any more about it - or, where this pic is from?
It's an egg basket from a farm. I know a dealer, but she's in upstate new york. There are pictures on my blog here:
it's the 3rd or 4th picture down.
I can email you her number if you're interested. Not sure if she'll ship or not...
Picture is from Cottage Living -- every month they do a comparison (funky, traditional, modern) of a room set up.
i love upstate :: please pass along the dealer's info. i am in nyc and would love an egg basket!

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- For the first time in nearly three decades, Joe Dumars won't play a major role in shaping the future of the Detroit Pistons.
Dumars stepped down as Detroit's president of basketball operations Monday, a day after the Pistons lost their home finale and fell to 29-52 with one game remaining in the season. Detroit will miss the post-season for a fifth consecutive year.
"It's time to turn the page on a wonderful chapter and begin writing a new one," Dumars said in a statement. "I've had the pleasure of working with some great people throughout the last 29 years as both a player and executive, and I'm proud of our accomplishments. Tom Gores and ownership is committed to winning and they will continue to move the franchise forward."
Gores took over as owner in 2011, with the team clearly in a rebuilding mode, but expectations were higher this season after the Pistons signed Josh Smith and traded for Brandon Jennings. The new-look roster flopped, and now somebody else will be in charge of the next effort to bring Detroit back to the post-season.
"Joe Dumars is a great champion who has meant so much to this franchise and this community," Gores said. "We are turning the page with great respect for what he has accomplished not only as a player and a front office executive, but as a person who has represented this team and the NBA with extraordinary dignity."
A message was left with Dumars seeking additional comment.
Dumars will remain an adviser to the ownership team, but this is the end of an era. Drafted by the Pistons in 1985, Dumars spent his entire 14-year playing career with the franchise, winning NBA titles in 1989 and 1990.
He was Detroit's vice-president of player personnel during the 1999-2000 season before being promoted to president of basketball operations. Dumars was named the NBA's 2003 executive of the year, and the Pistons won another title the following season.
For the first half of his tenure as team president, Dumars' Pistons were a model of consistency, even as players and coaches came and went. Detroit reached the Eastern Conference finals every year from 2003-08, but after the team slid back into mediocrity, some of Dumars' most aggressive moves backfired.
In 2008, Dumars traded Chauncey Billups in a deal that brought Allen Iverson to the Pistons. That didn't work out well, and neither did the decision to sign Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva to big contracts during the 2009 off-season.
Dumars had another chance to turn Detroit's fortunes around last off-season. When he acquired Smith and Jennings, the Pistons looked like they could become a playoff team, but the new lineup never really meshed, and this ended up being another frustrating season.
Coach Maurice Cheeks did not even make it through his first season as Detroit's coach. He was fired in February, and the team fell well out of post-season contention under interim coach John Loyer.
"It's been tough,' guard Rodney Stuckey said after Sunday's loss. "From Day One, our mindset was making the playoffs, and unfortunately we didn't do that. We underachieved, and now we're going home. There's always next year. ... To be honest, I really don't know what we need. That's not my decision."
Stuckey might not be back with the Pistons next season. He's set to become a free agent.
"It's going to be a lot of changes here," Stuckey said. "I'm going to sit around and see what happens, and once July comes I'll make my decision."
Detroit does have one of the game's top young big men in Andre Drummond, but the Pistons have struggled to draw fans, and this uninspiring season did little to help in that regard.
After taking over the Pistons, Gores ended up giving Dumars three more seasons as general manager, but now the pressure is on ownership to find someone who can put together a roster -- and identify a coach -- that can help the Pistons at least become relevant again.
"We know that we can move in the right direction if there's the right moves being made and the attitudes are good in the locker room," forward Kyle Singler said. "My message is: We'll be better."

Killarney is so beautiful, nestling as it does on the world famous lakes beneath the towering mountain range of the MacGillycuddy Reeks. Names like Torc ripple off the tongue like its spectacular waterfall, as does the heather covered Purple Mountain, Eagles Rock and of course Carrauntoohil, the highest mountain peak in Ireland. Rugged passes like Molls Gap and the Gap of Dunloe open up into deserted, secret valleys with jaw-droppingly beautiful views. And all of this unrivalled scenery, encompassed in Ireland's first ever National Park which includes Muckross House, Gardens & Heritage Farm, Rosse Castle and the Holy Island of Inisfallen, where Brian Boru the first High King of Ireland is reputed to have been educated. Throw in some fine weather and you have a match made in Heaven...

ST. PAUL, MN (KDAL) - The Minnesota Senate has approved a bill that would increase the state's minimum wage to 7.75 an hour by 2015. The House earlier passed a bill that would up the minimum wage to 9.50 an hour by 2015. The bill will now go to a conference committee to work out the differences in the two bills before it is sent to Governor Dayton who would likely sign it. Republicans say it would mean fewer jobs for young people and seniors.
