We all know that Photoshop is a very powerful tool – a must have for web and graphic designers. With amazing effects that can be added with the help of this software, it is possible not only to transform simple photos, but also to give them a whole new dimension. If you know how to do it, with Photoshop, sky is the limit. Here's 11 of the coolest photo effects tutorials I have come across that will enable you to become a powerful graphic designer with the help of Photoshop.
1. Realistic Tattoo Effect : Adding a tattoo to an image while making it look like it's really a part of the original photo.
2. Glowing Surreal Planet Effect: Create a planet from a panoramic picture, use the Lens Correction Filter, create complex background patterns, and more.
3. Realistic Water Reflection Effect: Easily add a realistic water reflection to any photo.
4. Realistic Rainbow Effect: Easily add a rainbow or a double rainbow, to a photo.
5. Sunglass Reflection Effect: Add different reflections to sun glasses.
6. Alienize Portrait Effect: Create a cool looking alien from anyone's portrait.
7. Age Progression Effect: Age progressing a person with Photoshop.
8. Flaming Photo Manipulation Effect: Manipulate a picture so it looks like a person burning in flames.
9. Disintegration Effect: Create the disintegration effect using brushes and the blur filter.
10. Dynamic Distortion Effect: Make striking, dynamic distortions of subjects.
11. Ghost Effect: Give a photo a ghostly appearance.
That's all for now. Practice these effects, let your imaginations fly and see what you can create.
Hi there.. I'm shocked that no one has had the manners to thank you. Allow me.. thanks for sharing these really great tutorials.. there's a lot of crap out there but these are really good quality and show some great advanced techniques.. much appreciated. Keep them coming.

It's no surprise that weight loss is one of the most common New Year's resolutions. The minute that ball drops, gym memberships start selling through the roof and the diets officially begin. See ya later, chickem parm hero.
One of the most popular (and trendy!) ways to get healthy these days is juice cleanses. It seems like everyone is trying a cleanse (even reality stars like Real Housewives Kathy Wakile!). So I decided to try one myself to get some insider knowledge on what it really takes to survive one of these things.
And here's what you need to know before starting one yourself:
As much as I consider myself to be a good communicator most of the time, I am a total victim of the crystal ball mentality. I'm pretty sure I just made that up, but I bet you're familiar with it.
It's when you assume people will know what you want and need without you actually saying it.
As you might guess, this not only puts the other person in an awkward position, it can lead to a whole lot of disappointment. So I'm working hard, maybe even starting on my New Year's resolutions early, and ditching this way of thinking once and for all.
As school children we're told our dreams are infinite, every thought is realistic, and most importantly we can do anything we set our minds to. But as we get older, our dreams may have gotten lost in the shuffle of life.
Maybe you're not saving the world or you're not president of a company, but where ELSE in life are you successful? Andrew Shue and the MAD Life crew will help you rethink how you define success. It's a must-watch for every mom who has been living with major regrets.
This past week, I learned of the deaths of three people. One was a college acquaintance, another my beloved theater professor. The third was a young mom I didn't even know whose passing I found out about from one of my blog readers.
When these tragedies occur, I find myself looking back at my own legacy, using the sadness as a way to challenge myself to be a better person and parent. I've taken to reminding myself of the powerful regrets dying people have spoken about so that I don't waste another second of this gift of life I'm lucky enough to have.
I suppose it might seem odd to find inspiration from "Regrets of the Dying," an article by former palliative care nurse Bonnie Ware (who later wrote a book on the same topic). But I can only imagine that they'd want their words to matter and change someone who still had a chance to enjoy their days.
Teen Mom Farrah Abraham was all starry-eyed and under a magic spell at Disney World this New Year's Eve. She says she just loves New Year's -- and not just because she always spend the holiday watching the fireworks at Disney World. It's also the most funnest for Farrah.
I feel NYE is the launch of the most funnest time of my life every year, I feel like i'm being spontaneous in a way, but I feel NYE gives you the feeling of (all the crap from this past year is for sure behind you and gone) as well it's time to burst into all the new opportunities, new friends, new stuff that you probably have been waiting for this year.
Ooh, that just makes me cringe -- and not just for the "most funnest" line. Actually, no, that's a big part of why I'm cringing. But more importantly -- let's examine some of that crap from this past year.
"Thinspiration," or "thinspo" for short, may be a scary term associated with twisted "Pro-ana" groups, but it's not exactly a foreign concept to anyone who has grown up female in this country. Practically the time we're hangin' in our mother's wombs, we're encouraged to look at photos of skinny models and wish we were them. From tween's lockers to grown women's refrigerators to just about every magazine cover on newsstands, skinny models appear everywhere. And this is supposed to be "aspirational." It's supposed to make us want to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and go to the gym -- for one reason alone: So we can look like lose ridiculous amounts of weight and look them, duh. But does it actually work?
According to Anne Klesse, a researcher at Tilburg University in the Netherlands who recently did an experiment that asked this very question, nope!
Toxic friends.
The very phrase sends shivers of the Sads down my back because I've been on the receiving end of enough toxic friendships to last a lifetime. These friendships never start out as bad for us, but over time, it becomes apparent that that's exactly what they are. Luckily, I've learned a little about the whole phenomenon along the way.
Here are some warning signs that one of your friendships has turned toxic. And not in the Britney Spears song kind of way.
I hate going to the gym. It's crowded. It reeks because one-too-many members forgot to put on deodorant. I can't get onto a machine to save my life without waiting for at least 10 minutes while awkwardly staring at my sports watch. The locker room is full of women chatting about their son or daughter's upcoming school dance, and the water fountain has a five minute wait.
Can you tell I'm annoyed?
I haven't always felt this way. I used to adore the gym. I owned that place. The people behind the desk know my name, and I have "gym friends" who high five me when they walk past my treadmill. These angry feelings, they're a recent change.
Want to know whose fault it is? The New Year's resolution-ers.
Thanks to the holidays, the roll of flesh you now see sitting triumphantly atop my waistband is composed almost entirely of butter, chocolate, and discount champagne. And yes, at the top of my list of New Year's resolutions are the words "get stronger (back to yoga)" followed closely by "STOP EATING M&Ms FOR LUNCH."
(Full disclosure: I am eating M&Ms while I write this, but it's just a mid-morning snack. Also, they are dark chocolate. M&Ms are full of antioxidants.)
So, you say you want to get back in shape for the new year, too? Come, let me guide you through seven important steps that will bring you closer to making everyone think you're working hard to get healthy again.
Good morning, New Year Resolvers! Who else has pledged to eat healthier this year? I know I have, so I've been scouring the Internets for healthy food blogs. I'm talking daily inspiration -- blogs that support my goals for a healthy new year, with recipes for high energy and a robust immune system.
I've been reading a lot lately about what makes change possible. It's not always about will power! Sometimes it's about finding inspiration and tearing down barriers. And when it comes to making healthy changes in your life, those barriers could be time, money, and kitchen skills. Here are 10 websites that will help you overcome those barriers and inspire you with yummy-looking nutrition superhero recipes you can make for the whole family.

Book Description:
"You seriously mean to tell me that the ship is doomed?" asked Frank Worsley, commander of the Endurance, stuck impassably in Antarctic ice packs. "What the ice gets," replied Sir Ernest Shackleton, the expedition's unflappable leader, "the ice keeps." However, it did not get the ship's twenty-five crew members, all of whom survived an eight-hundred-mile voyage across sea, land, and ice to South Georgia, the nearest inhabited island. First published in 1931, Endurance tells the full story of that doomed expedition and incredible rescue, as well as relating Frank Worsley's further adventures fighting U-boats in the Great War, sailing the equally treacherous waters of the Arctic, and making one final (and successful) assault on the South Pole with Shackleton. It is a tale of unrelenting high adventure and a tribute to one of the most inspiring and courageous leaders of men in the entire history of exploration. A native New Zealander, Frank A. Worsley served as a reserve officer in the Royal Navy before becoming captain of the Endurance. He commanded two ships in World War I, for which he was decorated, sailed with Shackleton again in 1921, and in 1925 was the joint leader of the British Arctic Exploration. He died in 1943.

OK, I just published this fabulous BBQ sauce from The Domestic Man that is sure to be a huge hit at any event with a grill present, but sure enough that lead me to another one of my favorite recipes from Chef Simone Shifnadel of Zenbelly. This one comes straight from her experience in the restaurant business and is a great simple method of making a wonderful tangy (and spicy) sauce that will go great on all of your favorite grilled meats and veggies.
Excerpt from recipe author:
This BBQ sauce is based on the recipe I learned there, but is adapted to reflect my mostly Paleo way of eating. I'm sure this recipe is too high glycemic to call it Paleo, but I'm happy with the fact that it has just a few simple ingredients, none of which are ketchup. And it's a sauce, after all, meant to bring flavor and depth to the food that was lucky enough to be graced with it's presence. Not intended to be drank…

Absolutely loved it
Florence was my favourite city on my trip round Europe. Absolutely teaming with Renaissance history and full of stunning views/landmarks. Food was great as well and not as pricey as Venice or Milan. Only downside was the nightlife was pretty average.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

St. Thomas class project warms heads and hearts

Everyone loves Love Your Melon.
Love Your Melon is a social entrepreneurship venture created by Zach Quinn and Brian Keller are UST undergraduates enrolled in the Foundations of Entrepreneurship course taught by Jay Ebben. Each semester, students in the course are challenged to work in pairs and create a business on the lemonade-stand model, with a business plan and a revenue stream.
As reported by Star Tribune business columnist Gail Rosenblum, Quinn and Keller responded by designing a line of hats for kids undergoing cancer treatment. "We talked to hospitals and found out that people donate big boxes of hats for kids, but they don't always fit," Quinn told Rosenblum. "We wanted to design a product that anyone can wear." They structured their business plan in such a way that half of their production would be sold and half given away, with the proceeds from the sales covering expenses.
And then, Rosenblum notes, "Then they got to work getting 400 hats produced (200 to sell for $20 and $25, and 200 to give away). Ebben strongly suggested they start out with half that many. They sold out in three days and have ordered 800 more." As of Rosenblum's column, 100 hats had been given away to children, with another 100 more planned for the near future.
WCCO picked up the story as well, with a story including footage of a Love Your Melon giveaway at Amplatz Children's Hospital.
Christopher Puto, dean of the Opus College of Business, noted in an email to staff that Love Your Melon "fits our mission of using business knowledge and skills to help make our world a better place."

John Watts (New York politician)
John Watts (August 27, 1749 New York City - September 3, 1836) was an American lawyer and politician from New York City who represented New York in the U.S. House.
He was the son of John Watts (1715–1789) and Ann (DeLancey) Watts (d. 1784). He completed preparatory studies and studied law.
He was the last Recorder of New York City under the English Crown, appointed in 1774.[1]
Watts was a member of the New York State Assembly from 1791 to 1793, serving as Speaker during these three terms. He was a member of the commission to build Newgate Prison in New York City (1796–1799).
Watts was elected as a Federalist to the 3rd United States Congress, and served from March 4, 1793, to March 3, 1795. He was defeated in his run for re-election by Edward Livingston.
He was a judge of Westchester County, New York from 1802 to 1807.
Watts married his cousin Jane DeLancey, and their only son was Robert J. Watts to whom John G. Leake, a distant wealthy relative who died childless, left his extensive properties. Robert inherited Leake's personal property (the real estate was escheated to the State because of technical problems of the "will") but died very soon. The grieving father then founded and endowed the Leake and Watts Orphan House with the Leake inheritance.
John Watts died in New York City and was laid to rest in a vault in Trinity Churchyard.
He was the grandfather of Philip Kearny, who was interred in Watts's vault until being removed to Arlington National Cemetery.
Archibald Kennedy, 11th Earl of Cassilis was Watts's brother-in-law, and Archibald Kennedy, 1st Marquess of Ailsa was Watt's nephew.

As a 90's in China, what Li said part is right but part is wrong.
I am not sure where Li's statistics came from, but it must be wrong. Since only about 30% graduates in 2013 get a job and more and more people, especially in Beijing find that it is too difficult to buy a house. Can you imaging that you have to pay 10 million RMB or about 2 million US dollar to buy an apartment about 100 square meters? For me, I have to say I can see little hope. But it is because of the competition. I believe there are so many talented people who can chase their dream, however, for most of us, we see desperation.

Jul 13 2013: Already read the comments below, and as a 90's Chinese, I didn't see which side is wrong. I just think we have to admit and cherish the rapid development here and actually I have benefited from it. The need of house is indeed a real question posed in front of most Chinese who don't have a father called "Ligang". That's a Chinese feature and the cause is much too complicated.
The point is that in this new era in China, as well as the entire world, young people have to seek a new road which is never taken by forebears. During this hard time, it's so common to feel hopeless, helpless, and confused. But that's what we have to endure.

Quiz: What You Don't Know About Energy-Efficient Lighting
Thermal image by Tyrone Turner, National Geographic
You know new light bulb rules are going into effect in many countries, but how much do you really know about the energy used to brighten your world?
Thomas Edison is credited far and wide with "invention" of the incandescent light bulb. But what scientist reported success with just such an innovation a year before Edison did?
- Humphry Davy
- Michael Faraday
- Albert Einstein
- Joseph Swan
In 1878, British scientist Sir Joseph Wilson Swan reported success producing short-lived light from a carbon filament lamp. But Edison showed a high-resistance thin filament could produce light for many hours. After squabbles in the British courts, the two scientists teamed together to sell lamps from a joint company, "Ediswan."
The first spiral compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) appeared on the market in 1995. But when was the design invented?
- 1902
- 1959
- 1976
- 1990
In 1976, in the wake of the Arab oil embargo and energy crisis, General Electric engineer Edward Hammer developed the spiral CFL in a company lab in Ohio. GE thought it would be too expensive and shelved the idea until other companies brought it to market two decades later.
Energy Star-rated CFLs use approximately how much less energy than an equivalent incandescent (standard) light bulb?
- 25 percent
- 50 percent
- 75 percent
- 100 percent
CFLs typically use about 75 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs to produce roughly the same amount of light. In incandescent bulbs, much of the energy is lost as heat.
Which country was the first to phase out incandescent light bulbs?
- Australia
- Cuba
- Japan
- The United States
To capture the energy savings CFLs offer, Cuba led the world in phasing out incandescent bulbs in 2006. Social workers visited households all over the country, replaced incandescents with CFLs free of charge, and destroyed the replaced lamps to remove them from service.
What does the Kelvin measurement of a light bulb mean?
- How much energy the bulb uses.
- How hot the bulb gets.
- What lifespan the bulb can be expected to achieve
- What color light the bulb gives off
In lighting, Kelvin is a measurement of "color temperature." It is sometimes confusing because higher temperatures (3,600-5,500K) give off "cooler" blue-green colors while lower temperatures (2,700-3,000K) give off the yellow-red colors considered "warm."
Frequent on-off switching (five-minute cycles or less) can decrease the lifespan of a CFL up to how much?
- 25 percent
- 45 percent
- 65 percent
- 85 percent
Lighting studies show frequent switching reduces a CFL's lifespan 85 percent, cutting it so short that it will last no longer than an incandescent bulb. Some studies have estimated that the average CFL should be good for about 7,000 on-off cycles.
To produce light efficiently, CFL bulbs rely on mercury sealed in a glass tube. The same toxic metallic element is used in the glass "fever" thermometers that have been mostly replaced by digital technology. Which of the following statements about their mercury contents is true?
- Glass thermometers contain as much mercury as in 125 CFLs.
- CFLs contain as much mercury as in 125 glass thermometers.
- Glass thermometers contain half the mercury of a CFL.
- A CFL contains half the mercury of a glass thermometer.
The average CFL contains about 4 milligrams (mg) of mercury, and it would take 125 to add up to the 500 mg contained in a glass thermometer. Some newer model CFLs contain as low as 1 mg of mercury.
All of the following are advantages of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) EXCEPT:
- LEDs cost half as much as incandescents for the same light output.
- LEDs typically use 90 to 95 percent less energy than incandescents for the same light output.
- LEDs often come with estimated lifespans of 10 to 20 years and tens of thousands of hours of use.
- LEDs work great for rapid on-off switching.
LEDs currently cost far more than incandescents for an equivalent light output. Prices for LEDs have been falling sharply in recent years, but in 2011 bulbs remained in the $20 to $50 range.
What is the internationally recognized unit for brightness of a light source (in other words, the light source's perceived power)?
- Watts
- Volts
- Lumens
- Color temperature
Lumens are the standardized unit for how bright a light source is. In the age of the incandescent bulb, people became accustomed to using watts as an approximation, but that measure isn't useful when it comes to technologies like CFLs and LEDs that achieve brightness at low wattage.
True or False? The new lighting standards that the United States will phase in beginning on January 1, 2012, will force U.S. consumers to use CFLs or LEDs.
- True
- False
False. Manufacturers already are selling advanced halogen bulbs, a type of incandescent that meets the new requirement of delivering the light of traditional incandescent bulbs at lower wattage. Further advances are expected.
Halogen bulbs are not as efficient as CFLs, but they do represent an energy savings over traditional incandescents. But what is a disadvantage of halogen bulbs?
- They don't last as long as traditional incandescents.
- They give off a colder light.
- They operate at higher temperatures than traditional incandescent.
- They contain mercury.
Halogens typically operate at higher temperatures than traditional incandescent and must be handled carefully. But they don't contain mercury as CFLs do, and they last longer than traditional incandescents while providing the same warm light.
All of the following lighting technologies can help reduce energy use except:
- Dimmers
- Recessed lights
- Motion sensors
- Low-voltage lighting
Recessed lights are only as efficient as the bulbs that are chosen for the fixture. Dimmers, motion sensors and low-voltage lighting are all strategies that can help save energy, however.
Great work! You are especially "bright" when it comes to energy-efficient lighting.
Luminous score! See how your knowledge glows when you take the quiz again.
Could be better. See if another try on the quiz provides some illumination.

Thatcher: Is that really your idea of how to run a newspaper?An Intrepid Reporter is an investigative journalist who goes out and finds stories, rather than letting them come to him or her. Sometimes this seems to be the only kind of reporter used in fiction. A character's actual assignment might be something like "tell the readers who won the dog show," or "write a puff piece on our best advertiser," but something about the setup will inevitably spark a full-scale investigation. This kind of reporter is also known, in fiction, for getting far more involved in their stories than is usually recommended for real journalists. There might be a brief mention of "objectivity" or warning against "getting too emotionally involved," but if there's a Corrupt Corporate Executive to bring down, secret villainy to expose, or a Distressed Damsel to rescue, the intrepid reporter will be right in there taking an active hand. Sometimes the term "muckraker" is used for this kind of journalist. Expect occasional examples of Off the Record information, whether or not they violate their journalistic ethics and reveal it. Most often, the intrepid reporter is a protagonist, or at least on the side of the angels. Expect a lot of speeches about "the Truth", "Freedom of the Press" and "the People have a right to know." But they can also be Love Interests, antagonists, or even villains. After all, the lure of that big scoop can lead to rushing into danger (not that they all mind that), trying to expose secrets the protagonists would rather not have public, or even fudging the facts to make a juicier story. The teenage version of this is the School Newspaper News Hound. An intrepid reporter has a good chance of being a Hot Scoop as well. The Jerk Ass or Evil Counterpart is the Paparazzi. If an intrepid reporter has no name, and/or is clearly snooping around somewhere they ''really'' shouldn't be, they are most likely a Red Shirt Reporter as well. See also Da Editor and Going for the Big Scoop.

WASHINGTON — Seeking to calm a growing furor, President Obama said Thursday that he is sorry that Americans are losing health insurance plans he repeatedly said they could keep under his signature health care law. But the president stopped short of apologizing for making those promises in the first place.
''I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me,'' he said in an interview with NBC News.

I hardly ever tell someone I hate you, because it is rude, mean, and hurts people's feelings, unless it is said as flirting, which I explain below. I hate you is probably one of the strongest – and meanest – phrases in the English language, yet many people use as a way to anger and hurt friends, romantic interests, relatives, etc. If you say it a lot, and mean it, you probably have no friends, no date, spend all day staring at a computer, and aren't very popular. You probably are an isolated loner and all of your dates can be inflated. And I guarantee that even if your girlfriend is inflatable you would probably say "I hate her" too. That's okay, I knew a guy who always said I hate you to people, and I swear his girlfriend's motto was "I hate him" and not in the fun, flirty way I talk about below.
Do you want to hear an I hate you joke? Just find someone extra nasty and ask them "what is mean, ugly, and hateful? When they say "what?" just say "just look at the photo on your driver's license." That tends to make people kind of mad.
This whole I hate you thing can get confusing. Sometimes when people say I hate you, they actually mean I love you, which makes the use of the phrase even stranger. I will explain that below (guys take note, because this concerns you!).
I think it is a good idea to avoid saying I hate you if it is used in an angry or hurtful way. I guarantee if you have ever been told I hate you, it has had a lasting impact on you. Saying it just brings up more feelings of hate for them and you. For example, when a parent says a child cannot do something, the child may utter an I hate you, without thinking how it will hurt his parents' feelings. Parents may also lose their cool and tell their children the dreaded phrase, if they are pushed to their limit by bratty kids. I am amazed how many times I have heard relatives tell each other I hate you, even though they may say I love you the next day. It is truly weird. I feel so strongly about this family hate that I just want to kill them all so they will love more! Umm…wait…Maybe I hate family a little too much.
Sometimes, people say I hate you as a joke. Girls will say I hate you a lot, while flirting with a guy they like. If I am flirting with a girl, and she says "I hate you," while smiling and laughing, I know that she actually likes me, and we can go out for a date later. Some guys are pretty clueless and actually believe a girl really means I hate you in this situation, because they can't read body language. If someone says I hate you, and is laughing, smiling, and seems to be flirting, you can assume she means the exact opposite! Many girlfriends and boyfriends, especially teens, say I hate you as a way to tease each other. Try it sometime, just make sure you say it playfully and in a cute way. When a girl says I hate you I say "you can't hate this!" Usually that makes them "hate" me more.
Life is too short to say I hate you all the time, unless you mean it as a joke. Life is too short to create more hurt, anger, and pain in the world. At the end of your life, would you rather have made people feel better, or made them feel bad? Only extreme narcissists (people that are really, really into themselves) and anti-social types get true pleasure out of saying I hate you to hurt others. And if you hate others, guess what? They will hate you back, and you won't have any friends or dates! Even though saying "I love you" is often overused, at least that phrase spreads love, as opposed to saying I hate you, which (unless you are flirting) only spreads hate and anger.
Do you hate anybody (as a joke)? If so, shout it out in the comments. Click "post to Facebook" if you are brave! Now, we encourage you to be cool, so only tell us who you hate if it is a joke, you know, like a guy or girl you may really like.

If you ever wanted to know what happens when you leave something wet outside in the dirt for too long, baking in the hot sun? Florida is your answer. In other words, nothing really good, in terms of humanity, anyway. Compost maybe. People? Not so much.
If you're a human being, and you aren't stuck there? That is, you live there by choice? Something could go terribly wrong with you: e.g., George Zimmerman.
Florida is beautiful, as long as humans stay away.
Mother Nature did her best to warn us. The Everglades will mercilessly swallow you. If they don't? Gators will.
Survive the freakish wildlife Florida's primordial ooze has fostered? Florida's prehistoric insects will gladly gorge on half your bodily fluid.
Critters enjoy wading through Florida's soupy, humid atmosphere. Humans don't. Retirees just enjoy the buoyancy the extra water in the air gives their arthritic bones.
It's a two-coast peninsula, dangerously close to the Bermuda Triangle*. No wonder Disney built a theme park there. Pedophiles, the Bush brothers and so much political corruption that writer Carl Hiassen launched an entire career off it.
Ah, Florida.
Justice is not blind in Florida.
Justice has been healed, hallelujah, testify!
Now, justice can cast a keen eye to assess and categorize exactly which side of the drinking fountain you must stand before you even step inside a courtroom.
Justice can see, now, in Florida, to determine how to separate its citizens.
Because in Florida, its citizens are officially separate.
But let's not bullshit each other: they are in no way equal.
In Florida, law enforcement and lawmakers go by this rule:
The people are white. Everyone else is black.
You'd think this would keep things simple, but the problem with two sets of rules – like a crooked businessman keeping two sets of books – it doesn't work.
Also, after a while, things start getting really obvious.
Why Trayvon?
White people across America are wondering why one black teenager is becoming such a symbol?
- He was probably on drugs, they say.
- After all, he threatened Zimmerman, they say.
- He WAS wearing a hoodie – why was he hiding his face, they say?
"They" have a lot to say in defense of Zimmerman's actions, but "they" keep forgetting one thing:
It's not ever okay to shoot a teenager. Not even if he's yelling at you. Not even if he's in-your-face threatening you, as teenagers are wont to do.
(What? Zimmerman was never a teenager in a schoolyard? Zimmerman was never told the louder someone barks, the less likely he is to bite? Gee whiz, even I know that one.)
Another thing "they" overlook is the most important thing of all:
If every single variable had remained the same – if Zimmerman, Neighborhood Watch zealot, superhero-wannabe, had stalked a WHITE teenager – same outfit, same bullshit yelling, same chest-first, blowhard, teenage-style "Ain't I the man?" posturing …
I bet my last ten years upon this earth Zimmerman would NOT have shot, but instead would have said something like: "Take it easy, kid..."
You know how I know this?
I used to live in New York. I founded a damn Neighborhood Watch. I've done Neighborhood Watch duty my own damn self.
I didn't carry a gun; you don't NEED a gun to do a Neighborhood Watch – unless, maybe, you have compensation issues, or self-esteem issues, which I don't – I walked a big black dog instead.
Whenever anyone didn't belong in my hood, I could tell instantly by the way they approached me.
They would ask: "Does he bite?"
He didn't. But I'd always answer: "Only when I tell him to."
Aforementioned stranger would ALWAYS turn tail and run.
I don't mean to get all snobby on Florida's ass – or on any state, but facts are facts:
Bad guys in New York are, I guarantee, worse than the bad guys in any other state.
If I can handle Neighborhood Watch in New York without a gun? What's Zimmerman's excuse?
I have one more question for Florida before I wrap this up.
If you don't, as I posit here, have two sets of laws and justice for black people and white people, how on earth do you explain letting Zimmerman off scot-free for killing ANYONE who did not immediately endanger his life, BUT…
You sentence Marissa Alexander to 20 years for shooting a WARNING shot to protect herself from an abusive husband.
Not only does this make no sense from an ethical or moral standpoint, Florida….
It makes no LEGAL sense.
Here's hoping the Supreme Court catches up with you. Either that, or you secede. Or maybe? Just maybe? It gets hot, humid, and dirty enough down there that the good people get out, and gators get the rest of you.
Visit Change.org and make a difference. Do it right now.
Watch Anderson Cooper ask Marissa Anderson about her version of Florida "justice."

How Health Reform Affects Arthritis Care Costs
Health care reform offers help for people with chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. Under the law, you are guaranteed care for these conditions. You'll also find you can get medicine and pain treatment more easily. That means less worry about becoming disabled and losing your job. If you have a child with juvenile arthritis, you'll have less worry about keeping your child covered. Your child can stay on your insurance plan for much longer than in the past.
Arthritis Coverage
Under the Affordable Care Act, you can get or keep insurance coverage after you're diagnosed with arthritis. This is because:
- You cannot be turned down for health insurance because of your arthritis.
- You can buy an insurance policy just for your child, even if he or she has arthritis.
- Your insurance cannot be canceled because you develop arthritis.
- Your children must be covered by your insurance if you choose to include them on your policy. This is true even if a child already has arthritis.
- Starting in 2014, you must be allowed to buy a health plan from any insurer even if you have arthritis.
- All of your children can stay on your health plan until they reach age 26.
You'll also benefit from new rules that protect you from paying too much for your care or medicines. For instance:
You will not have a dollar limit on how much can be spent on your care. Annual and lifetime limits go away.
If you're sick, you can't be charged more for health insurance.
Your out-of-pocket costs will be limited. Health plans will have what is called a cap. Once you reach that amount, your insurance company covers the rest of your costs. That includes what you would spend on copays and deductibles for medical services and prescriptions.
Paying for Arthritis Medicine
Prescription drug coverage is one of 10 essential health benefits under the new law. That means it must be part of any policy that you buy through your state's health insurance Marketplace.
Soon you may also be able to choose generic versions of biologic arthritis drugs. Generics do not carry a brand name, but they are the same drug -- and they cost less. The Affordable Care Act gives the U.S. Food and Drug Administration the OK to approve generic biologics.
Managing Pain
You may benefit from other essential health benefits, too. For instance, to care for your arthritis you may need:
- Chronic disease management
- Emergency care
- Hospital care
- Mental health services
If you're on Medicare, it includes the essential health benefits. So does Medicaid if you're new to Medicaid. Also, any plan you buy through your state's insurance Marketplace must offer these benefits. If you get insurance through your job, check your health plan to confirm the details of your coverage.

An unwanted visitor approaches
"Even if it was to impress me, Im shocked" Electric turned her shoulders to him
"Im sorry"
"Youre gonna apologise"
"I know"
She faced Kobra again. "youre just lucky youre cute" She hugged him tight
I hit my head back on the pillow. To my right was Heart. She was singing a Backstreet Boys song in her sleep. To my left was Party. He was silent and frozen still. He almost looked dead but I could see his chest miving slowly. I ran my fingers through his firey hair and went to dreamland again
"Candy! Wake up!"
"Whaa?" I groggily opened my eyes ti the blinding light
"Everyone else is ready. Come on" Party took my hand and pulled me up. I saw the clock. 10 am. There was no time for me to doll myself up. I tugged on my boots and rushed outside
"Mr Loverboy got you up I see" Grace sneered.
"Yes. So shut up" I snapped back
"Well. Lets get going" Electric took hold of Kobras pinky finger and dragged him along. We all follwed
Ghoul jumped up behind me and Party with Little Miss Blondie in tow.
"How was it then?" He made kissing noises and Heart joined in. I put my thumbs up.
"If it was so fantastic, do it again" He dared. Party and I looked at eachother. Our lips touched for a nanosecond and we turned around to see pinky and perkys reaction.
"Ooooooh!" They chourused. Party kicked their shins in turn and the left us alone. His arm went around my shoulders as I leaned into his body
"Jesus Christ!" I heard Electric squeal. We all stopped in our tracks.
"What is it?" Heart cried.
"Stop right there" A familiar voice boomed. Korse
"wheres Jet?" Kobra demanded
"Oh he's safe." The evil genius chuckled "Im just here to pick up my niece" Electric looked both ways, then legged it to the west. Her uncle sprinted after her. The rest of us watched
For a middle aged man, Korse was very quick. He got Electric almost immediatley. He beckoned us over
"If you want her back to continue your journey, give me all your weapons"
My jaw dropped. Party shut it for me, claiming it wasnt particuly attractive. Electric had our map, food and water. Everything we needed. There was no choice. We all handed our guns over, and Korse let her free. Kobra flung his arms around her.
The boss of BL/ind clapped his hands and he was gone in a cloud of smoke. We all talked about the events that had just happened apart from Electric Aresenuc and Kobra Kid, who were staring at eachother. I guessed they had fallen into that pit called love

Temple's season has been one of highs and lows, leaving them at 4-6 and still alive for a bowl game. This Sunday's matchup with the Orange will be their season finale, if they win and there aren't enough .500 teams, Temple could still go Bowling.
The Ups:
» Related: See Andy's breakdown of Temple from earlier in the year
The Downs:
The MVPs:
» Related: Who has been the biggest surprise on offense for the Orange?
The Prediction:
Back in August I predicted a 24-23 Owls win here. My brain says that Syracuse should easily handle the Owls now that the evidence is out there. Montel Harris can take over a game, but the offense is severely one-dimensional due to the lack of a passing game, and the Syracuse staff should be waiting for him. On the other side, Ryan Nassib should pick Temple's inexperienced secondary apart. So it isn't going to be 24-23. But I can't go against my Owls, so I'll say Temple by one point, 45-44.
Andy Cliver double majored in Temple (undergrad and law school) and currently practices law in Philadelphia. Look for him in parking lot section K4 tailgating before every home Temple game.

Artistic Legend Brian Sanders Creates Poster for AMC's 'Mad Men' New Season
With the new season of AMC's Mad Men's less than a month away, it's time for the most famous TV show about advertising to advertise itself. A new poster promoting the show's return to the air first appeared in an article from The New York Times today, and it looks radically different from what we came to be used to with the past seasons. Created by iconic British illustrator Brian Sanders, the ad shows Don Draper on the corner of Madison Avenue, holding the hand of a mysterious woman that could very well be his latest conquest, slightly looking back at what appears to be no less than himself, holding a briefcase. Designed in a way that makes it look like "it has time-traveled from the pages of an old copy of Reader's Digest", the ad does a brilliant job at conveying the show's mysterious and vintage ambience. Show creator Matthew Weiner says that the idea of hiring Sanders came after he remembered about the illustrations in a T.W.A. flight menu from his childhood.
Season 6 of Mad Men will premiere on April 7 at 9PM EST on AMC with an exclusive all-new 2-hour episode.

"Loved that this announcement covered both our new address and our new baby! Just wish it could be customized with a different color such as purple instead of just pink."
"We love our announcements! Card was easy to make. It came so quickly and was packaged very nicely. The box was a nice touch! Our cards are beautiful! Way better than even expected. The print quality is beyond expectation. Even the envelopes were high quality!"
"my daughter was born in the pre me the card turned out absolutely beautiful I love it. Tiny prints did such a great job they even sent me an email to have me confirm some small changes they may to make the picture in the print even more beautiful."
"This card was exactly what we were looking for. It is simple and beautiful. The card stock was thick and felt very high end. We used these as adoption announcements for our daughter and changed the text to read "Coming Soon." The ability to customize the announcement was greatly appreciated as she is not an infant. All in all we received exactly what we expected to receive and have already recommended this site to our friends."
"This card came out beautiful. I used a color photo with solid blue on the back and it looks perfect. A little smaller than I would have liked but overall it looks nice."

Insulated Ice Wrap Cooler Bag for Cold Therapy Packs
Are you a coach or parent with several players on a team who are constantly injuring various parts of the body with contact sports or stressful running and other physical activities? If so, the Insulated Ice Wrap Cooler Bag by Elite Kold can be a blessing to you, allowing you to carry more than one cold therapy pack with you to every game and every practice session. Holds up to 6 wraps.
This bag is doubly insulated to keep the compacts frozen longer, and it has a zipper closure on the top and two side straps for easy carriage. You can easily fit up to six wraps in the bag, which measures 18 inches long, 7 inches wide, and 10 inches deep when zipped.
Of course, while you can use the cooler to carry your cold compresses, you can also count on the insulation to keep a reusable hot pack warm as you tote it around. A microwave hot pack is typically the same size, so you can fit just as many into the Insulated Ice Wrap Cooler, if you and your team prefer heat therapy to a cold therapy pack. If you choose to use the cold compresses, the cooler can be counted on to keep the wraps frozen and ready to go for up to 24 hours.

There's something I Need to tell you and the girls" Said Serena."Huh ? What is it ?" asked Raye.Serena inhaled and exhaled out deeply."Ok, so here it is"Serena Tells the other girls about who the guardians are, she told them that they were the Easter bunny, the tooth fairy, the Sandman, Santa clause and last but not least Jack Frost. It took forever for Serena to explain but she finally got the explanation right! But….. after she told them who the guardians were, they looked at her as if she was crazy, so they all just laughed their butts off except for Raye who was just sitting there and crossing her arms plus shaking her head in disbelief , leaving Serena mad and annoyed at them."HAHA!

I didn't know that the spirit healer will rez you nearest to where you die. I was going after a pet, thinking I could skip some of the tougher zones by rezzing at a spirit healer in the zone I wanted. So I ghosted about for nearly an hour, went to the spirit healer, rezzed...and found myself back where I started. AUGH!

I also tend to get ...intrigued by sayings. I always have an urge to find out where they are from and why. In this case its easy to see what it is saying, but harder to understand fully why it is.
Squirrels (as everyone knows) eat nuts. They store them in various ways to get them through the winter. Most people only know them as storing nuts in a 'larder' which they eat in winter. What is less known is that squirrels also bury nuts, and mark the location for later unearthing and eating. However, and industrious squirrel stores many more nuts than most people think, burrying a lot of them. Squirrels have only small brains, and so it is inevitably true that a lot of the burried nuts do not get eaten for various reasons (cant remember where to dig, ground frozen, etc etc). So the phrase to 'squirrel' things away, means to put the item(s) in various places, NOT all of which will be remembered or retrieved. Its meaning changed over time to mean to put something away (usually in a hidden/secure area).
A complete digression from anything useful I know. But what the hell!
