You Hold On to Someone Who Isn't Available There are many reasons someone may not be available to date. Is he separated or married? Perhaps he is living with his girlfriend? If you hold on to such a person, fully knowing you are shared with someone else, you illustrate the lowest form of self-love and that won't get you where you want to go.
You Don't Believe Him When He Tells You the Truth Many times, men will directly tell you their outlook on the relationship. They'll say things like, "I'm not interested in anything serious" or "I don't see myself being married." If you hear anything similar, don't think you're the one person who can and will change his perspective. Trust me, you can't; you won't. Moreover, you'll just end up wasting your time and resources. You only have power to change yourself.
Being a Toxic Date Toxic dates are the ones who complain all the time. They are the ones who always blame you. They may always turn things around to make it someone else's fault. They overreact to bad events. If all of this sounds familiar, "they" could be you. Toxic people are a huge energy drain. No matter how outwardly attractive or successful someone is, toxicity just ain't sexy.
You Don't Believe In Love If you truly think you are destined to live life alone or you are of the thought that Michelle Obama married the "last good man on earth," you'll be right. Why? Because our belief is our reality.
You Do Nothing Differently My favorite question to ask prospective clients is: "How many dates have you gone on in the last two years?" Most answer "zero." (FYI - The average single in the U.S. has not been on one date in the last two years). Then my second question is always, "Are you happy with your number?" Most say no. My final question is always, "What are you doing differently to change it?" Most say "nothing." The bottom line is that in every aspect of our life (dating included) we can't do the same old thing and expect different results.
You Take Bad Advice from Friends and Family I have written a full chapter on this in my book. Your friends are not relationship experts. Your loved ones often give bad advice. It's well meaning, but awful, dating advice because they aren't objective. Plus, they aren't therapists or dating experts.
You Commit Too Soon A top dating mistake that I see my clients make often is going from casually dating someone to exclusively dating that someone within a short period of time. This is a widespread issue. In 2012, the average U.S. couple became exclusive within just five dates. This is much too soon. Why, because it takes time to observe their values and it you also don't know someone until you have witnessed them in a time of adversity.
You're Lowering Your Standards to Compete If you are concerned that because there are "so many women" vying for the man you are interested in you must "compete" and do things not within your value structure (like have sex earlier than planned), stop it. The moment you bend on your boundaries is the moment you begin to bully yourself.
You're Adhering to Ultimatums Love is not selfish. Love doesn't come with strings attached. If you have to give in to get him, get out.
Being List Obsessed Do you chase after preferences? (You know, like he must be 6-foot tall and have perfect teeth?) We all have preferences and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. The problem is when we don't secure our own needs first. These are what I call in my book, "your relationship vitals" (values, personality type, non-starters, and attraction traits) and become obsessed with them opposed to what's on a list of frills.
Men need bigger noses because they tend to have more muscle—meaning they need more oxygen, a new study suggests. Researchers followed the growth of 18 women and 20 men from age three to past 20. While kids' nose sizes weren't much different between sexes, male noses started getting bigger around the time of puberty. That's also the period when males start to use more oxygen and energy than females. In the study, men's noses were some 10% larger than women's. This could also explain why Neanderthals, who were bigger than we are, had big noses.
Kids today aren't running nearly as fast as their parents did at the same age. In fact, in a one-mile run, youngsters now are about 1.5 minutes slower on those laps than children 30 years ago, according to a new study. In the U.S. alone, researchers found that children's cardiovascular endurance — one of the cornerstones of physical fitness — fell an average of 6 percent per decade between 1970 and 2000. The reason is simple: they're carrying too much body fat, making it "more difficult [for them] to move through space," explains lead researcher. Beyond battling obesity, kids also have to contend with an environment that is toxic to activity, he says.
Volunteering makes you a more desirable job candidate, according to a new survey. Here's the hitch: While 76% of HR executives say nonprofit work looks attractive on a resume, the candidates themselves don't think so; less than half of all applicants surveyed don't believe it makes a difference in a job search. But volunteering showcases flexibility, a worldly perspective, and an ability to put the skills you learned in school to use, says the director of the study. For recent college grads without much work experience or people with gaps in employment, hiring managers see volunteering as a form of on-the-job training, boosting your odds of getting a real offer.
1. "Whoa, what size diamond is that?"
Think of this like asking what your friend weighs-unless she's your BFF since birth, you just don't make the inquiry. Same goes for the specific carats on your friend's new ring. Truth be told, I wouldn't even know what size my own diamond is had I not peeked at the specs on the certificate that came with it, and I assume many other women simply don't even know.
2. "OMG yours is so big compared to mine."
Really? Why would you tell a chick something she already knows (because she has eyes)? An engaged friend of mine told me that some girl, within two seconds of meeting her, grabbed her hand, then glared at her own fiancé to say, "Hers is bigger than mine!" Nice way to spread the awkward, and make your guy to feel like total jerk.
3. "Can you send me a picture of your ring so I can send it to my boyfriend?"
Sure, because my engagement is all about your non-engagement.
4. "Your ring is so cute."
Cute is a great word for describing a puppy, a small child, a mini-cupcake-basically anything tiny. While the size of a ring doesn't matter (only the size of the couple's love for each other...awwww), it's rude to point out the itty-bitty-ness of the stone. Also, never say something like, "Oh, that's a nice starter ring-you can always upgrade later."
5. "Took him long enough!"
Okay, so we all know the guy dragged his feet-or at least it appears that way to everyone else. But judge-y comments like this one are just not appropriate-or very nice, ya hear?
6. "How long have you been together?"
An engaged woman recently told me that while this can be a totally innocent question, more often than not, "it's usually asked in a judge-y, you-need-to-justify-your-engagement-with-years-of-prior-commitment kind of way." Or, the question is used to compare the state of the asker's relationship with your own, as in, "well this guy proposed after nine months, so why hasn't mine?"
7. "Have you set a date yet?"
Oh, you mean in the two seconds since we've been engaged?
8. "Can I be a bridesmaid?"
Unless you are the engaged woman's adorably precocious 12-year-old cousin, you should never ask this.
9. "I can't wait for the wedding/bridal shower/bachelorette!"
Uh, slow your roll, sister. Something about engagements magically makes acquaintances think they are closer to you than they actually are. To save yourself hurt feelings-and to save the affianced in question some major awkwardness-wait for your invite before inquiring about these events.
10. "Are you sure you want to marry him?"
The only person allowed to ask this is your mom or your BFF and they are allowed to ask it exactly one time -and one time only-just to make certain that you're not secretly wracked with guilt, stress, or what have you worrying that you're making a huge mistake. Anyone else? Negatory.
11. "Are you pregnant?"
Um, #rude.
12. "You are so lucky!"
This is meant nicely, I'm sure, but the idea that lifelong love has something to do with hitting some kind of life jackpot is a little insulting. Most couples I know work hard to make their relationships as great as they are and there's nothing lucky about that.
13. "Are you sure you want that chocolate? Don't you have to diet for your wedding or something?"
This is usually said by some (single) frenemy who wants to make the engaged chick in question feel like crap for not being on some super-strict pre-wedding eating (er, not eating) regimen. Keep your body negative comments to yourself.
14. "OMG you should totally do X at your wedding!"
Look, maybe you got married before Pinterest launched and now all you want in life is to go back in time and fill all of your reception tables with mason jar vases wrapped in twine. But unsolicited advice is not appreciated-especially when the bride-to-be is already trying to dodge the countless opinions of her parents and future in-laws.
15. "Well...(long pause)...as long as you're happy."
Passive aggressive much? Look, if you don't have anything nice to say, then shut up. Don't mention the divorce rate, the stats on the average length of first marriage, et cetera, et cetera. We know the odds. We don't need reminding. Especially on our wedding days. A friend told me that, while she was bridesmaid in another pal's wedding, some bitter family member approached the group while they were getting ready and proclaimed that, "in four years you'll hate your husband but you'll still love these girls." Mean!
These seem logical. I always thought that the first thing that couples should do before marriage, is say "I Do." Have one big fight. I'm not saying you need to pick a fight with your partner, but as I found out the hard way, there is a wrong and a right way to fight. I tended to shut down and invoke the silent treatment early in our marriage whenever we would fight, which wasn't exactly a productive way of solving problems. If you don't disagree before marriage, how will you know how to handle disagreements later on?
Discuss your finances. Sit down and have an honest and in-depth discussion about each of your finances - we're talking the good, the bad, and the ugly. Write down everything you owe, from credit card debt to student loans. Be honest and make decisions about how you'll handle your future finances. Will you have joint checking accounts? Who will pay the bills? Deciding important financial details now may save you heartache later.
Talk about your life goals. "Take time to really look at your personal goals and ideals in regard to important issues such as finances, employment, household duties, religion, politics, children and family," says Dr. Carla. "If you and your partner can't come to an agreement about each of these issues, then now is the time to sort it out. During courtship (dating and engagement periods), there can be a tendency to sublimate goals or ideals in order to be better aligned with a partner."
Accept your partner. As Dr. Carla points out, this tip sounds simple, but it's actually at the root of many failed marriages. "Couples often enter marriage believing that he or she will change the other person," she says. "Some hold the belief that the other person will morph over time because of the power of love and marriage. However, people tend to become only more of who they are over time. If you enter your marriage thinking your partner will change once the wedding band is on, be prepared for a harsh awakening. If you can't accept your partner as he or she is, marriage will not be the cure."
Invest in communication. "If you feel that your relationship has communication issues now, take the time to invest in a communication course for couples," Dr. Carla advises. "Many health plans offer such classes, and they can be worth their weight in gold. By learning to invest in communication (and your marriage) now, you set the stage for years of solid teamwork in the future."
Be honest with your partner. "Bring the skeletons out of your closet," says Dr. Carla Marie Greco, a clinical psychologist in California. "This doesn't mean hanging out your 'dirty laundry' indiscriminately. What is a true necessity is being honest about anything you've hidden or forgotten to disclose that might impact your partner now or later. Your partner deserves to know the full truth of who you are and how you 'came to be' (including any mistakes you made or any untruths you may have previously told him or her). Better honest now than devastated later!"
Bring up the baby factor. Maybe kids aren't on your horizon just yet or maybe you're already a parent. Either way, it's a good idea to check in with your partner about where he's at on the baby-making scene before you tie the knot. Are we talking a honeymoon baby or lots of child-free years ahead of you both? Source: babble.com
When buying used products, complimenting the seller will get you a better deal, finds a new study. Researchers examined the "endowment effect," which is what happens when people who are selling their possessions—like a car or an old TV on Craigslist—feel threatened by the impending loss, prompting them to jack up the price. But when you butter up the seller, you bring their guard down, which lessens the threat of a loss and boosts your odds of saving money, the study says.
10. Have a "State Of Our Union" meeting each week
Having a team meeting each week lets you keep the lines of communication open. We're not talking about cuddling on the couch, either. Sit down at a table and run this more or less like a business meeting. The fact is that every relationship has some "business" to it -- tasks that need to get done, upcoming projects you need to prepare for, financial concerns and so on. Spending a little time each week focusing on what needs to happen to keep your home running smoothly means that these conversations don't sneak into the "fun" times you have together. Meet up, make a plan and get back to living in bliss.
9. Use a joint calendar
Having a calendar you use is vital for staying organized with commitments. Sharing these appointments with your partner helps prevent conflicts of scheduling, and also keeps you both reminded of things you're doing together. So avoid the whole problem by using a web-based service like Google Calendar makes it easy to share events or even an entire calendar with your significant other -- but if you insist on pen and paper, keep it in a place you can both refer to it.
8. Track your finances
Using a budget and reconciling your checkbook are fine, but technology has made tracking your money even easier. We love automated solutions like Mint.com, since you're able to track your balances for all your accounts in one place, along with detailed spending analysis. For those who prefer an offline solution, consider budget software like Quicken. Money fights are some of the most common in relationships, so track your spending. Having an open discussion about spending habits before you're over budget for the month will make things better for both of you.
7. If you combine your finances, streamline the system
There are dozens of ways to handle money in a relationship. However if you agree to jointly handle money, make the system as streamlined as possible. At minimum, we'd suggest a joint account that you both pay into, so you can pay bills jointly, and allows you to move money back and forth if one of you needs to pay the other for something. This type of central "pool" makes sharing bills easy, while also making it difficult for your partner to spend your private finances.
6. Use a joint shopping list
Nothing's worse than getting home from the store and realizing you forgot one thing -- except, maybe for having to run back out to the store just to get that one thing. It's a waste of time and energy, and the odds of it happening double when you become a couple. Keep a shopping list somewhere you can both see and add to it, and before you take it to go shopping, make a final check for anything you're low on that's not been added to the list.
5. Have a system for paying bills
Missing a bill payment can waste money on late fees, and falling far behind on your payments can hurt your credit or even see your utilities turned off. Spending a few minutes setting up a payment system can save you both headaches. It's usually best to have one person pay the bills each month or at least split them up -- he always pays the water and she always pays the cable, for example. Once you're clear who's paying what, set up automatic payments for everything you can. The more you can automate this part of your finances, the better.
4. Have a mail system
Have a system for who gets the mail each day -- we like "first one home gets the mail" since it works no matter how much your schedules change. Once the mail is in the house, have a place where it lives, so both of you always know where to find it. Having a spot for mail to come into the house -- and for mail that needs to be sent -- will keep you organized and avoid the stress of looking for a lost bill or important document.
3. Save for goals as a couple
Having savings is important and so is having goals. A savings goal is the best of both, and a great way to get organized as a couple. Planning a trip or a home improvement project? Figure out how much you need to save each month, and each contribute to a joint account. Even if you don't have combined finances, joint savings accounts can be set up easily
2. Divide up the household chores
Most people don't enjoy housework, but splitting the load makes it more bearable. Decide who's responsible for what and divide up the work in a way that gets you both involved in keeping the house running smoothly. Even if you don't like cleaning the house, there are probably some chores you mind less than others, so do those. Don't mind cooking but hate the cleanup? Maybe you should both agree that one of you cooking means the other washes up afterward
1. Use a to-do list app that allows task sharing
While many still swear by pen and paper, to-do list software does have a number of advantages. If you're open to using an electronic program, look for a few key features: it should sync to your smartphone and it should allow you to share tasks. If you and your partner can share tasks, it makes compiling a shopping list or errand list easy. The key to organization is having a home for everything; having a trusted "one spot" to look for everything and know it will be there. Having one spot where both of you can look and find everything you need to buy and do will simplify errands and chores for you as a couple. Source: Ask Men.com
1. Their political affiliation.
Regardless, you should probably avoid the topic, but it's good to know whether you're in the same basic camp or not.
2. Any taboo topics.
AKA don't ever mention ex-husband/alcoholism/'Nam.
3. Their relationship with your significant other's ex.
Did they hate them? Were they neutral? Or will they spend the entirety of your relationship missing the last significant other, and "accidentally" calling you by their name?
4. What they do/don't know about your relationship.
"Ever since we moved in together" "You.....WHAT."
5. How you should address them.
Mr. Smith? Dr. Smith? Gary?
6. Their occupations.
Easy conversation fodder, so you can ask them about work. Or not ask them about work, if, they don't.
7. Are they a sports family? A music family? A travel family?
What's the common ground going to be here?
8. Are they "cool" parents?
In other words...how down are they to party. (Disproving of you drinking? Or disproving of you not partaking and, ahem, acting "stuck up.")
9. How do they feel about PDA?
Uncomfortable? Or worried if they don't notice enough of it?
10. Are they religious?
Will they say grace before dinner? Do they keep kosher? Do they avoid alcohol? Make sure to get a heads up!
11. Are they okay with sharing a bedroom?
Some parents are, some parents aren't, and no amount of turning 18-30 will change that.
1. Digital Communication
Sending texts, emails and Facebook messages can be faster than sitting down for a face-to-face conversation. But an Oxford University study found that couples who talk more through digital channels are likely to be less satisfied with their relationships. It could be because technology strips away the emotion that comes with communicating in person. "The further you get from expressing yourself fully, the more room there is for couples to miss each other," says Jenev Caddell, PsyD, founder of My Best Relationship Psychological Services, PLLC. Be sure to balance the occasional "thinking of you" text with face time, especially for pressing concerns.
2. On-Screen Romances
Can't get enough of fictional couples in movies and TV shows? That actually may distance you from your spouse. Research has shown that marrieds who believe strongly in TV depictions of romance are less committed to their current relationships. Despite rocky times for sitcom and romcom twosomes, viewers come to expect roses and adventures as everyday treats from their spouses, which just doesn't happen. "They remove themselves from their own reality," Dr. Caddell says. Using storylines as inspiration to try something new together can be wonderful, as long as you remember real relationships don't operate exactly as scripted ones do.
3. Poor Sleep
Getting enough rest is a health must-and maybe a marriage must, too. A UC Berkeley study revealed that couples engage in more intense spats after a bad night's sleep. "If you're sleep-deprived, you have poor concentration and can't think clearly," says Leslie Becker-Phelps, PhD, psychologist and expert for WebMD's Relationships and Coping Community. So it's no wonder difficult discussions can turn ugly. If things get heated with your partner, own up to feeling more tired than usual. Then, readdress the issue after you've had some decent shut-eye.
4. Grand Gestures of Affection
The occasional fancy getaway can't compensate for a missing daily spark. In 2011, the National Marriage Project discovered that parents who do small, helpful things for each other, like making coffee or expressing affection, are less likely to get divorced than those who don't. "If you haven't nurtured the close relationship, your partner might not care much about the grand gestures," Dr. Becker-Phelps says. Learn the little things your spouse enjoys and find ways to incorporate them into your routine. And don't forget to acknowledge how much your husband's acts of kindness mean to you.
5. Never Arguing
Just because you don't fight doesn't mean things are peachy. "No differences is a sign couples aren't being honest with each other," Dr. Becker-Phelps says. Besides, arguing is good for your health, according to a University of Michigan study. Avoiding conflict can increase stress hormone levels, something your relationship could do without. The best way to broach an uncomfortable topic: Start with positives. "Let your partner know you feel good with him, and be clear that you're talking only about a particular behavior," she suggests.
6. Divorcing Friends
Be wary of rifts between married pals. Research has found that divorce spreads through social networks, families and even workplaces. "It's less about what's happening in others' relationships and more about how you perceive it," Dr. Becker-Phelps says. For instance, if your friend's spouse cheats, your trust in your partner may waver. What matters, though, is how your marriage ticks, not that of those around you. "Have other relationships be secondary to what you know about your own," she recommends.
7. Date Night
Deciding what to do together can be as frustrating as making the time. "Women prefer planned activities while men tend to be spontaneous," says Howard Markman, PhD, co-author of Fighting for Your Marriage. A romantic dinner out may be up your alley, but your hubby might be hoping for a casual movie night at home. In truth, you both need to be open to what the other thinks is fun. Suggest something he'd like without having all the details beforehand. And next time, encourage him to set aside an hour or two for an activity you like. You'll both end up winners.
8. Apologizing Too Much
Saying sorry isn't what your spouse really wants after a fight. "An apology by itself likely won't address your partner's main concerns," says Keith Sanford, PhD, a researcher on a Baylor University study that found most couples would prefer their better half give up power or contribute more to the relationship than say sorry. Instead of apologizing, try compromising. Speak up about what you need, say, more involvement around the house, and hear out your husband about his needs. Disagreements go more smoothly when you deal directly with the issue.
9. Your Dreams
A nightmare about a cruel or unfaithful husband can lead to a real-life argument with your saint of a spouse, according to new research. "They wake up and that idea is active in their minds and affects how they behave," says Dylan Selterman, PhD, the study's author and a psychology lecturer at the University of Maryland. Such dreams could stem from your insecurities, like thinking your partner will abandon or cheat on you. While you're awake, discuss together what may be sparking those feelings. You could end up with sweeter dreams-and fewer fights.
1. Get Busy
Start a blog, take up a new hobby (preferably one where you'll meet new people, like joining a running club), read a novel, write a novel, paint your room, learn how to take really good photographs, sort out your closet and host a clothing swap, learn chess with a friend, teach yourself Chinese-basically, keep yourself busy with something that will make you feel good about yourself afterwards. (Meaning, watchingFelicity a third time doesn't count.)
2. Look Better
We like to call this a "breakover"-because nothing will motivate you more on the treadmill than the revenge of looking hotter than ever post-breakup. Work out, eat right, learn how to lift weights, get a new haircut, take up hot yoga, pluck your nose hair, do a hundred sit-ups before every shower... by the time you've done all this, you'll have forgotten who you were trying to get revenge on in the first place.
3. Be Better
Volunteer somewhere. Because nothing puts your own problems in perspective like helping out people who are even less fortunate than you are. You know, people who fought for their country and ended up in a wheelchair; people who are dying in a nursing home with no one to visit them; kids who have nowhere to go after school; people who can't get a date to the soup kitchen. We won't be so crass as to suggest you might meet someone new this way, but we know it crossed your mind. We won't tell.
4. Use the Power of Negative Thinking
You know what? It wasn't a perfect relationship. We don't care how in love you were, we're sure you can find something negative to focus on. Prematurely yellowing toe-nails? Bad tipper? Weak chin? Meditate on these attributes every time you're tempted to don the rose-colored glasses and reminisce about your ex.
5. And Then Think Positively
Odds are, you will love again. Seriously, it's statistically highly unlikely that you will die alone, with only seven cats for company. Or maybe you will die alone surrounded by your cats, but we're pretty sure you'll have squeezed in a decades-long happy marriage first. You'll have sex again. You'll have regrettable sex again. You'll have bad dates again, and good dates again, and eventually you'll have a date that's so awesome you'll want to call up your ex and thank them for dumping you so that you could meet the new love of your life. We know your mom is probably telling you the same thing right now, but we're not your mom. We hardly know you! And when we agree with your mom, you know the truth is being told.

Almost 200,000 Americans have signed a change.org petition, asking Kraft to drop two artificial dyes that give the dish it's cheesy look. The petition says Yellow 5 and 6 are the worrisome ingredients that are left out of the Mac & Cheese Kraft sells in Europe. The petition points to studies linking the dyes to long term health problems like asthma, skin rashes and migraines.
But Kraft is fighting back releasing a statement saying, "We only use colors that are approved and deemed safe for food use by the food and drug administration."
On June 30, 2010, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) called for the FDA to ban Yellow 6. The CSPI said, "These synthetic chemicals do absolutely nothing to improve the nutritional quality or safety of foods, but trigger behavior problems in children and, possibly, cancer in anybody. according to Wikipedia: Yellow 5 and 6 are both synthetic coal tar dyes made from industrial waste (coal tar).
Yellow 5 is also called Tartrazine and E102 in Europe. Banned in Norway, Austria, and Germany. Side effects of yellow 5 - ingestion, anxiety, migraines, clinical depression, blurred vision, itching, general weakness, heatwaves, feeling of suffocation, purple skin patches, and sleep disturbance. Certain people who are exposed to the dye experience symptoms of tartrazine sensitivity even at extremely small doses, some for periods up to 72 hours after exposure. In children, asthma attacks and hives have been claimed, as well as supposed links to thyroid tumours, chromosomal damage, and hyperactivity. There are also rumors that the dyes cause permanent 'shrinkage" in men, but so far it looks like those claims haven't been proven.
In any case, I thought this Macaroni & Cheese hypnotizing commercial was fitting to go with this story. At least you now have some more info on what's going on.

Odor on disabled ship 'so bad people getting sick'
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has singled out the greater Salt Lake region as having the nation's worst air for much of January, when an icy fog smothers mountain valleys for days or weeks at a time and traps lung-busting soot.
Thanks to the AP for that story, but can you imagine that? I though freezing nostrils were the worst thing that could happen to you in the winter air!

(TIME.com) -- The longest lived among us aren't necessarily those who are of normal weight, says a new study.
According to new research this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), researchers say that being overweight may lead to a longer life.
The somewhat surprising conclusion comes from an enormous, detailed review of over 100 previously published research papers connecting body weight and mortality risk among 2.88 million study participants living around the world.
The new research confirms that obese people, and particularly those who are extremely obese, tend to die earlier than those of normal weight. But the findings also suggest that people who are overweight (but not obese) may live longer than people with clinically normal body weight.

Jennifer Foster was visiting Times Square on Nov. 14 when she snapped the heartwarming moment. Here's her account of what happened:
"Right when I was about to approach, one of your officers came up behind him. The officer said, 'I have these size 12 boots for you, they are all-weather. Let's put them on and take care of you.' The officer squatted down on the ground and proceeded to put socks and the new boots on this man. The officer expected NOTHING in return and did not know I was watching*. I have been in law enforcement for 17 years. I was never so impressed in my life. I did not get the officer's name. It is important, I think, for all of us to remember the real reason we are in this line of work. The reminder this officer gave to our profession in his presentation of human kindness has not been lost on myself or any of the Arizona law enforcement officials with whom this story has been shared."

"As employers continue to take a wait-and-see approach when it comes to hiring, people who currently have jobs—many of whom have taken on extra work—are starting to show signs of prolonged stress," warns the ComPsych CEO. "This can result in burnout and reduced performance." Again, no big surprises here. I say just showing up is 99% of the battle.
• Be active. Exercise not only keeps your muscles, bones, and heart strong, but it may help you sleep. A recent article published in the Journal of Physiotherapy concluded that participating in an exercise training program had moderately positive effects on sleep quality in middle-aged and older adults. Althea Zanecosky, a fellow dietician of Lafayette Hill, Penn., credits her good sleep to frequent morning and after-dinner walks. Robin Plotkin, another dietician from Dallas, Tex., agrees that exercise is key to her sleeping success. "If I don't exercise for several days, I find it takes me longer to fall asleep," she says. Because the post-exercise body needs a few hours to cool down—and a cool body sleeps better—it's best to be active earlier in the day. • Say yes to carbs. A steady dose of carbohydrate-rich foods can energize you by day, and hit your sweet spot by night. Tryptophan, an amino acid found in eggs, chickpeas, and turkey creates serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps you settle down. It's the carbohydrate, however, that carries tryptophan to the brain to work its magic. Aim for half of your daily calories to come from carbohydrates, and choose mainly oatmeal and other whole grains, fruits, vegetables (including potatoes), legumes, and low-fat dairy foods. (Keep dinners and bedtime snacks small, since large, late meals can adversely affect sleep.) • Be careful with caffeine. A stimulant of the central nervous system, caffeine is known to delay sleepiness and cause sleep disturbances. It also inhibits some sleep-promoting hormones. Because caffeine stays in the body for several hours, it's wise to abstain at least several hours before you hit the sack. • Nix the nightcap. Alcohol seems to encourage excess food intake. And while it may also help you fall asleep, studies suggest it promotes a restless sleep and increases daytime fatigue. Current dietary guidelines allow for one drink a day for women, and two for men (one drink equals 5 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer, or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits). But if it's a good sleep you're after, drink earlier in the day (that is, if your boss lets you!) or rethink that drink altogether.

If you want to get ahead financially, it pays to choose your parents carefully.
Simply put, affluent parents are able to provide many of the underpinnings of a middle-class (or better) life for their offspring. Wealthier parents may offer cash for a down payment so their kids can become homeowners, or they may cover health insurance premiums to protect their children from catastrophic medical bills.
Most importantly, though, wealthier parents can help pay for one of the most important factors in economic success: a college degree. Increasingly, that single factor is giving their kids a crucial advantage that seems to be slipping from the grasp of children from lower-income families.
Consider some of the research on economic mobility in the United States:
People born at either end of the economic spectrum are likely to stay there
Research shows that if your folks were rich, you'll likely be rich too, or at least well off. If your folks were poor, you likely will struggle financially as well.
Liz Weston
Forty percent of those raised in the top 20% of incomes in the U.S. remain in that high-income bracket as adults, according to research by the Pew Charitable Trusts, and 63% remain above the middle. Similarly, 40% of those raised in the bottom 20% of incomes stay there as adults, and 70% remain below the middle. There's still some economic mobility, of course, but there's less than you'd find in Canada, Western Europe and even traditionally class-bound Great Britain, according to research by Scandinavian economist Markus Jantti.
The Pew study also found that a four-year college degree is an important determinant of economic success. Researchers found that college degrees help prevent "downward mobility," keeping those born in higher-income brackets from falling out, while allowing those in lower-income brackets to move up.
Gap between rich and poor in college attendance, completion is growing
Two University of Michigan researchers studied college attendance patterns of people born between 1961 and 1964 and compared them with those born between 1979 and 1982.
Over the course of one generation, college attendance and completion rates soared among those in the higher income brackets. In the lower brackets, the rate of increase was much less dramatic, widening the gap between rich and poor.
For example, 80% of those in the highest income bracket attended college in the early 2000s, compared with 58% of the same income group 20 years earlier. The highest income bracket included people with incomes in the top quartile.
Only 29% of those in the lowest quartile of income attended college in the 2000s, up just 10 percentage points from the 19% rate seen in the early 1980s.
Even more telling is the rate of college completion. Among young people who came from the highest-income households, 54% completed college, up from 36% two decades ago. Among the lowest-income group, the college completion rate went from 5% to 9%.
Parents torn between providing access and teaching responsibility
Some of my readers say they want their kids to pay for all or some of their own college educations -- to teach them responsibility. Others cite the importance of setting aside money to improve the odds their children will complete school.
For example, Chris Hubbard of Thousand Oaks, Calif., doesn't want his kids to disappear into the work world before they get degrees. Hubbard said his parents and grandparents paid for his and his sister's college education, so they could graduate without student loans.
"I will do my best to do the same for my kids. I want them to be able to go directly to college after high school without first working for a year" or more, Hubbard wrote on my Facebook page. "Once they get used to having some money, it is tough to give up a full-time income and lessen their living standard for improved future income."
Matt Furrier of Boston agrees. He put himself through school, commuting to a state college, an experience he doesn't want his children to repeat.
"(M)y wfe & I absolutely will pay for the bulk of their private colleges! I want much better for them," Furrier wrote on my Facebook page. "We can afford to do it."

One-of-a-Kind Damien Hirst Harley in L.A. Auction
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Auctions, Events, Art, Charity
A one-of-a-kind Harley-Davidson Cross Bones motorcycle (above) customized by bad boy Brit artist Damien Hirst will be auctioned off for the L.A.-based Project Angel Food charity on April 23rd. Bidding for the one-off bike / sculpture, painted with Hirst's signature rainbow-hued spin design, begins at $100,000. Hirst applied his centrifugal force paint technique to individual parts of the retro-styled Cross Bones, the first model in Harley's new Dark Custom line, and then shipped them to the factory where the finished bike was assembled. The motorcycle is part of Angel Art, an event and benefit auction celebrating the 20th anniversary of the charity, which provides daily meals for people homebound or disabled by HIV/AIDS and other serious illnesses. The event, co-chaired by the likes of Tom Ford, Naomi Watts, Tobey Maguire and Robert Downey Jr., is taking place at L.A.'s Creative Artists Agency.

A shame if she gave up because her sales weren't what she expected.

The success of A Public Affair was killsed with releasing a single that was not in the album. How stupid was that?

Elective Share
In the United States, statutory elective share law exists to prevent disinheritance of a spouse. Elective share statutes give to a surviving spouse a fixed fraction, typically out of a probate estate of the deceased spouse. Traditionally that fraction is one-third of the estate regardless of the length of the marriage. The Uniform Probate Code provides a more complicated scheme for determining the elective share. Elective share statutes are enacted in "separate property states." These are often contrasted with "community property states."
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
The portion of a deceased person's estate that the surviving spouse is entitled to claim under state law. In many states, the elective share (also called the statutory share) is about one-third of the deceased spouse's property. In some states, however, the amount the surviving spouse can claim depends on whether or not the couple has young children and, in a few states, on how long the couple was married. In most states, if the deceased spouse left a will, the surviving spouse must choose either what the will provides or the elective share. (See also: dower, curtesy)

text: I am passing along this video series for people who are interested in recording their own music, on a budget, for RBN. I noticed quite a few people not knowing how to exactly make a good recording of their songs and this video series, taught by Dave Ellefson (Megadeth) is a great way to gain knowledge on the recording aspect of music. Plus it shows the standard for the way songs should be recorded for RBN. Perfect for those of you who want to make it big on the network.

<xi:include href="Include.xml" xpointer="//include[@name='LevelRequirement']/*" />
<xi:include href="Include.xml" xpointer="//include[@name='ReturnRules']/*" />
<equip when="precast">
Click on the opening 'rules' tag and it shows the closing tag as the /> of the AutoChangeGear line. Click on the 'spellcast' tag and it shows the /> of the LevelRequirement line as being the close. The 'spellcast' to 'LevelRequirement' segment is foldable; the 'rules' to 'AutoChangeGear' is not. The 'equip' tag set below that folds properly.
Given the post about using single quotes in attributes, I tried removing the single quotes from the @name portion, but that didn't have any effect.
Is there a change that could be made in the XML wordfile that would fix this, or is this a genuine bug? Or is there something else I'm missing?
This is a recent problem, but I'm not sure if it first started with the update to 17.30 or not. While I've only rarely used the include tags until recently, I do not recall ever coming across this problem when they were present before. I re-downloaded the xml wordfile from the main site to be sure I had the latest version.
Variant on the code sample:
- Code: Select all
<xi:include href="Include.xml" xpointer="//include[@name='AutoChangeGear']/*" />
<equip when="precast">
Clicking on 'xi:include' shows that it recognizes that entire line as its own tag.
Click on <rules> and it marks it as ending with the /> on the AutoChangeGear line (as in the first example).
Click on <spellcast> open tag and it believes that it is closed with the </rules> tag, and folds accordingly.

New book by White published by Oxford University Press
Michael J. White
The second edition of
Political Philosophy: A Historical Introduction
Michael J. White
, a professor at the College of Law and philosophy professor at Arizona State University, recently was published by Oxford University Press.
The book's first edition, published in 2003 by a different press, traced the development of political theory beginning in Greece in the fifth century B.C. through the 18th century philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and the 19th century German philosopher Karl Marx. Rousseau's political philosophy influenced the French revolution as well as modern liberal political theory. Marx's ideas played a significant role in the development of 20th century socialism and communism. The first edition concluded with consideration of the political theory of John Rawls, a 20th century Harvard philosophy professor who achieved eminence as an exponent of contemporary Western liberal political theory.
Alistair Hannay, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oslo, called the first edition "a masterpiece of clear thinking.
"This well-written text will challenge many to reflect more closely on matters often too quickly decided. The result is more than one might ever have expected of an introductory text of this size; indeed a better introduction to the subject is hard to imagine," according to Hannay.
White's new book expands the roadmap to include a chapter on Roman philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero, who lived during the first century B.C., on Marsilius of Padua, a 14th century proponent of an entirely secular conception of politics. White also wrote a new chapter on John Stuart Mill, a 19th century social reformer and defender of individual liberty.
"Cicero represented the Stoic tradition in his political thought, and I concluded that he is a very important figure in the transition between the political theory of Greek and Roman antiquity and the emerging Christian political theory," White said of his decision to include Cicero in the book.
White said the addition of Mill was necessary because of his role as an expositor of a dominant contemporary political problem: that of the proper relation between the autonomous, self-defining individual and the state conceived as a coercive instrument for promoting the common good.
A major theme in the book is both controversial and important, White said. "Political theory ultimately is dependent on our conception of what human life, more generally, is about," he said. "In other words, political theory relies on what I call a 'normative anthropology,' – a conception of what human life is and ought to be all about."
White claims in his new book that one can't really understand political philosophy or political theory without consideration of the ethical, metaphysical and theological dimensions of human life.
White was encouraged to write the second edition by
Jeffrie Murphy
, a longtime colleague at the College of Law and ASU Regents' Professor of Law, Philosophy & Religious Studies. The book is "a major contribution to the field," said Murphy.
"There are many analytic philosophical books on political philosophy and many historically oriented books on political philosophy. What is uniquely valuable about White's book is its brilliant combination of both of these approaches," Murphy said. "White is an extremely talented philosopher in the analytic tradition but, unlike most people in that tradition, he also possesses strong scholarly expertise in the history of philosophy. Because of this, I cannot think of a better introduction to political philosophy than his new book. It would be a mistake, however, to regard White's book as simply a textbook, since it is much more than that. Although written in a highly accessible way, it is sophisticated to a degree that will make it a valuable resource even for those who are scholarly specialists in the subject."
Much of White's new book is drawn from the teaching and research he has done in the field over the past three decades. The book bridges several historical and philosophical disciplines including some areas of political science, history, sociology and ethics.
"What political theory is really concerned about is the analysis of basic concepts that arise in relation to political institutions, such as justice, rights, duties, the nature of state, and the proper limitations on political authority," White said. "But human beings are not just citizens of some polity although, indeed, all of us do live in some polity. The question is how the political dimension of our lives fits with other aspects of our lives."
The book should appeal both to devotees of politics and political theory and to those who don't care much about everyday politics. "Political theory can show us the limitations of politics," White said. "Today, especially, we denizens of first-world countries perhaps expect too much from politics. A study like the one I attempt can help us to realize that there are some good reasons why our political aspirations should be more modest."
The book is available at
Oxford University Press
and at
and other booksellers.

Just east, on the road that leads towards Sandy Hook Elementary, a host of 27 wooden angel statues sing a silent chorus on the roadside, a tribute to those who died Friday. Police say Adam Lanza shot and killed his mother at the home they shared, before carrying out the rampage at the school where he left 26 dead and also shot and killed himself.
A small bright note is the overwhelming support Newtown has been receiving from around the country and the world -- including truckloads of teddy bears that firefighters are distributing to children's groups, schools and churches..
"The community will go on," Corbo says. "We have to. There are still a lot of children in this town waiting for Christmas to come. You have to move on. For their sake, it's gotta be back to normal as soon as we can get it."

Tangent of argument in radians
Y = tan(X)
The tan function operates element-wise on arrays. The function's domains and ranges include complex values. All angles are in radians.
Y = tan(X) returns the circular tangent of each element of X.
Graph the tangent function over the domain −π/2 < x < π/2.
x = (-pi/2)+0.01:0.01:(pi/2)-0.01; plot(x,tan(x)), grid on
The expression tan(pi/2) does not evaluate as infinite but as the reciprocal of the floating point accuracy eps since pi is only a floating-point approximation to the exact value of π.

Anyone else disappointed that BBM 7 wasn't rolled out for OS 5 today? I have OS 6, but my GF has an older Curve on OS 5 and we were really looking forward to this feature...
Thanked by:xSt0rmTroop3Rx (12-10-2012)
Re: BBM 7
Thanks OP for starting this thread as I was about to start one myself. I am quite peeved to say the least. I have two devices on OS5, a Curve 8330 and a 9550 Storm 2 and all my BBM buddies are posting about how grest v.7 is!
And we know that it WILL be coming. The OP was wondering if anyone else was annoyed that it hasn't come TODAY when everyone else got their updates. OS5 users get the shaft again, I guess. :banghead:***One cannot get anywhere in life unless they are willing to steal the tiger's wallet.*** - 12-10-2012, 03:22 PM Thread Author #4
Wasn't one of the earlier beta's supporting OS5?

I wish there was a way to install 220.127.116.11 which appears to be last version that supported OS 5... but you need a keycode...
Bummed over BBM7. When I go to launch I'm getting an error message that says my "IT administration does not support BBM 7.0"
It will support BBM Voice otherwise they would have just released it.
I read its coming early next year which is a shame.
Hopefully they release a Beta for it So i can access it early.
They did have a beta for OS 5 but it didn't include BBM Voice, and they only released one version.
Have to wait and see.
Shame really. - 12-12-2012, 05:03 AM #12
Having OS 5 seems to suck.
I happened to update my bmm 6 to bbm 7 but it obviously did not work as my phone uses OS 5. The bbm icon disappeared. I managed to get it back but it is now version 5.0.
Is there any way for me to upgrade my bbm to 6? App world is only showing me bbm 7. - 12-12-2012, 08:54 AM Thread Author #14
There is no BBM7 for os5(confirmed with rim) unless you use 126.96.36.199/101. Which is a beta version. I had os5 on my 9700, and can confirm that there was no BBM voice for os5. Just cloud sync for contacts.

If you check Blackberry Beta Zone, there is a beta of BBM 7 for OS 5 that is available (version 126.96.36.199). There are reports of problems with it for the 8820 Curve, but other devices running OS 5 seem to have had positive results.
