Based on decades of research, it is now known that the most effective program for the reversal of chronic insomnia is called "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia" or CBT-I. However, this treatment is rarely available to the general public as CBT-I is usually only offered by specially-trained psychologists or as part of research studies. People using CBTI report improved sleep, often in as little as 2-3 weeks and maintain good sleep for years.
Sink into Sleep breaks CBT-I down into a step-by-step, easy format, allowing the reader to follow the same effective program that patients in the clinic do. Although Sink into Sleep is anchored in the science of sleep, the tone of the writing is reassuring and encouraging filled with first person accounts and easy to use worksheets.
Much, Much More Than a Workbook, Sink Into Sleep features:
"Explores options for those who have been deprived of the sweetness of sleep and how they can steps to a more restful life. Highly Recommended."-Midwest Book Review, January 2013
"I am excited about Judith Davidson's new self-help book, Sink Into Sleep. Dr. Davidson has done an excellent job presenting cutting edge treatment methods in a down-to-earth, straightforward manner. I am certain this book will help many insomnia sufferers regain control of their sleep and overcome their nightly struggles." -Jack D. Edinger, PhD, CBSM, Professor, Section of Sleep Medicine, Division of Pulmonary Medicine, National Jewish Health, Denver, CO; Adjunct Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC
"Based on scientifically-proven psychological and behavioral principles, Dr. Davidson eloquently describes an effective self-help program for overcoming insomnia. This step-by-step guide will be of tremendous help to those millions of people who suffer from insomnia and provides a concise, clear, and highly effective self-help program for insomnia. Sink Into Sleep is an invaluable resource for anyone with sleep difficulties...and for therapists treating them." -Charles M. Morin, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Canada Research Chair on Sleep Disorders Director, Sleep Research Center, Université Laval, Québec

This club sucks if for some reason the bouncer or the Asian mafia there doesn't
Like your look. I was there and only for maybe 15 or 30 min. In that time I met some great fun people. Then I needed to use the restroom which is down a sketchy hallway. As I left 2 thugs grabbed me ,beat me and broke my rib. For no apparent reason. I was leaving the next day or I would have pursued an assault charge. I am planning on calling the local police there. But I am thinking it won't go anywhere. You are warned.
Horrible service. Almost 1.5 hours for dinner. Every time is a long wait. Wish we had a better pub in West Ashley
Terrible company! I scheduled to have my two units delivered two weeks in advance and they did not show up on the scheduled date! I had movers all set up and I had to get out of the house I was renting. Needless to say this caused me a lot of problems. When the units did show up, one was leaking. All I ever got from Units was the run around. If there is ever a next time I would spend a little more and go with PODS!
I missed this shop so much when it was under a different name. Call me slow, but I just found out that Richard had reopened a sandwich shop again. (My grapevine is a little slow) It was great news to me. My lunch spot changed as soon as I heard Richard and Gloria were back making sandwiches. There are very few good sandwich shops in the area. This place more than fills the void! The Turkey Rasberry Chipolte or the Chicken buffalo wrap are my favorites.
It is great to have a small business that takes pride in their work. Food chains get boring. Richard's Coffee and More brings back a little spice to the Park Circle area. Be prepared for a local business supporting the local community with a smile and great food. Cheers Richard....Glad to have you and Gloria back! I will make sure to come through the doors more often!
We've been to Rutledge Cab Co twice. Our first trip was the second weekend they were open….Yep, had to wait an hour but the bar was full and fun so it wasn't a major hardship. Enjoyed the food and service, they were jammed so we gave them a break on having to wait longer than expected for our meal. We had dinner there last night, it was awesome. Fish Sandwich was the best I've had. Our friend loved the Chopped Salad. We got seated right away and the service was smooth. Looks like they've got it together. I really wanted to like this place...... Looks like Wagner Terrace has a new hangout and a good one at that.
I've eaten here about 5 times and have had excellent service and food each time. Last time I had a confit of pork shoulder. I think it was likely the best pork dish I've ever tasted. It's a destination dish. If you ever see it on the menu, run don't walk.
Wow, I'm pretty surprised at how well-reviewed the Grocery is here. I went with a group of 10, and none of us was particularly pleased with the food. The service was great and the decor was nice, but the food was overpriced for what it was and I feel like there are other restaurants downtown with a similar concept and better execution. I will not be going back.
Our dinner was less than inspiring, the kabobs were ok but boring, the wings were the same as was the burger. The food was just very mediocre. Their house red wine was decent and a relatively good buy. The cocktail I had was unique and I enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty loud inside and outside, but service was good. I will be back to try the all day breakfast options, though.
We had such high hopes for this restaurant based on the CCP's write-up, especially since it said Crust has more than 20 beers on tap (http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/Eat/archives/2013/02/11/crust-opens-tuesday-on-james-island). Well, they only have 6, and they are 6 pretty uninspired ones at that. The bottled beer selection wasn't much better. We started with the Bibb and beet salad, which was very good. The pizzas, however, were disappointing - quite blackened (we know, they're cooked in a wood-fire oven, but does that mean they have to be black?) and really not enough of the toppings. The crustacean 'za was better than the butternut one which had just the slightest smattering of vegetables on it - not enough to get past the "charcoal" taste. As I said, we had high hopes, but we won't be back. :-(
We thought RCC was great, and I have heard nothing but positives from everyone else I know who has been there. The grilled spicy wings were great, different than the usual fried variety. Drinks were also good and staff was all very friendly. I only saw a couple of menu items that looked over priced, one of which I ordered but it was still delicious. We will be back soon to try the burger, pizzas, and the BLT benedict...
My husband, two young daughters and I live in Canada and visited Charleston for the first time last week. OMG!!! This city is great. It was great fun walking the streets of the city and seeing all the beautiful homes, court yards and, gardens. Our girls are too young to appreciate the history of the city but they are the perfect age to enjoy the shops and restaurants. A favorite place for all four of us was Sweet CeCe's, in the market area. The weather was iffy one day, so we ducked into this shop for a snack. The girls were treated like little princesses by the staff and, had such fun creating their yogurt cups. Great place to get out of the weather and indulge. This is the best frozen yogurt shoppe we've ever been to in the U.S. or in Canada (and yes, we have them here too!).
I am interested in sweetgrass weaving
what are your upcoming classes for this year?
We live a short walk away, so had high hopes for this new neighborhood hangout. They'd solved their initial teething problems with wait times and service by the time we visited -- waiters were attentive and food came out quickly -- but that's the best we can say about it. The cocktails we ordered -- three different drinks -- were all failures, with strange, synthetic flavors (mine tasted much like toilet freshener!). My wife ordered a spiked milkshake without looking at the price, and was shocked to discover it was $14, more than many of the entrees. The starters and mains we ordered were very bland: diner food that would be acceptable in another setting, but not at the prices we were paying. Everything was under-flavored and lacking in spark. The place was packed -- but I can't see it being that way in 6 months once the early excitement dies down, unless they do something dramatic with the menu. What a disappointment!
Really fun! Looking forward to it! All ages, all skills!
A fantastic venue with a nice atmosphere, a fast wood floor, and plenty of seating with chairs and tables to make yourself comfortable.
Wonderful people, Amazing place!

Fascinated by a rash of unexplained events on Lake Redemption and undeterred by the locals' warnings or talk of "people in the lake," Syd sets out to uncover the truth. Soon he's experiencing the terrors of the lake for himself, and he's not alone: he rescues David Cooper from the mysterious waters. Trapped with his attractive and willing companion, Syd begins a fight for his life and sanity that can only be won with secrets from beneath Lake Redemption.
A part of the 2010 Daily Dose Set, Midsummer's Nightmare, which includes 30 M/M stories of supernatural romance that may feature an edge of suspense and heart-pounding fear; a taste of the paranormal worlds of ghosts, vampires, and werewolves; and even the stuff of nightmares and dreamscapes.
"Don't get too low on gas. The motors will start to sputter. Do you believe a place can have a soul, Mr. McTighe?"
From outboard motors to philosophy all in one breath. Syd cleared his throat before answering. "I suppose it's not outside the realm of possibility." The question was just sinister enough that Syd wondered if having his back turned to Mr. C was a good idea. He couldn't exactly defend himself while he was leaning over the back of the houseboat, peering at the twin fifty-horsepower engines. One little shove was all it would take.
"Watch you don't foul the propellers while you're beaching the boat. What about ghosts? Do you believe in ghosts?" Mr. C planted one rubber boot on the railing next to Syd's hand. The morning's soft rain dripped from the brim of his hat and pattered onto his yellow slicker.
"Um… no," Syd said, straightening. He backed away from the railing.
"Careful now." Mr. C grinned around the stem of his pipe. "The deck gets slippery when it's wet. Wouldn't want you to bruise that handsome face."
A shiver ran down Syd's spine. He slicked back his dark, unruly hair. "Not to sound like an idiot, but it's a boat. I imagine the deck gets wet pretty often."
Mr. C flashed a set of perfect, white teeth. "That was a joke, son. You know, you're right. You're a little uptight. Could be a vacation on the lake is just what you need."
"Tense. I said I was tense."
"Right." Mr. C climbed the stairs to the wheelhouse and turned a key on the panel. The engines died. "So those are the motors. Now, you won't break any speed records, mind you, but they'll take you anywhere on the lake. That's a thirty-eight mile stretch of water with nothing but unspoiled wilderness around it. No houses. No roads. Maybe another houseboat occasionally but not many. It isn't the season. Bit too cold yet."
Syd had known that, which was why he'd chosen April. Less people on the lake meant a smaller chance of someone seeing him sneak down the Western Finger. "Anywhere on the lake," he said. "Sounds great."
"Except the Western Finger. That's off-limits."
Syd schooled his features into one of his favorite expressions: curious innocence. His job often called for it. "Oh? What's the Western Finger?"
They ducked beneath the overhang, out of the rain. Through the door at their backs was the cabin where Syd would sleep, cook his meals, and pretend to enjoy the view. Since the actual reason for his trip was on a need-to-know basis, and the last person who needed to know was Mr. C, Syd pasted a polite, interested smile on his face. "Is that the name of your secret fishing hole?"
Mr. C touched a match to the end of his pipe and began to puff. "You're not from around here, are you, son?"
Syd slapped his knee. "Aw, what gave it away?"
"Well, your ignorance for one."
"I was making a joke," Syd said.
"Yep, I figured so. I wasn't trying to be rude." Pipe smoke ringed Mr. C's head like a listing halo. With his weathered skin and graying beard, he looked every day his sixty-odd years. "Lake Redemption is plenty big enough for you, Mr. McTighe. She's a long, skinny thing, that's true, but there are more coves and inlets that you can shake a stick at. No need to go snooping around the Western Finger. It's dangerous. You keep to the main lake, and you'll be fine."
Mr. C was pretty sharp for an old guy. Syd toned down his ignorant city-slicker act. "Well, I've heard rumors, but I'm not looking for any trouble. The only thing I'm after this week is time to myself. Some peace and quiet. I was told I could find that here."
"You can." Mr. C puffed on his pipe. "That and more, if you know where to look."
Syd answered with a crisp salute, two fingers to the bill of his cap. And may the old man be a prophet, because Syd was there for more than a few fun-filled days on a pale pink floating RV.
"You all loaded up?" Mr. C fit his rain hat back over his graying black hair.
"Just about." The cameras, high-powered telephoto lenses, and listening devices were in a duffel in his trunk. He didn't want Mr. C anywhere near it. "I can get the last bit myself."
His phone came to life, blaring Jethro Tull. Cursing, Syd snapped it open. "Hello?"
"Find that secret government installation yet?"
"No… honey," Syd replied, winking at Mr. C. "Not yet. I haven't even left the dock."
"Well get cracking, McTighe!" Sam bellowed.
As bosses went, Syd knew he could do worse. At least Sam indulged Syd's crazy ideas, even if he didn't always keep the faith. He often referred to Syd as his 'crazy crusader'. Syd let it slide. Putting up with the man's off-color humor was a small price to pay for writing for one of the best magazines in the country.
He caught Mr. C's eye. My wife, he mouthed, pointing to the phone. Mr. C nodded, dropped onto a bench, crossed one ugly rubber boot in front of the other, and settled in to listen. Syd rolled his eyes as he turned away. When he got around to writing this piece for the mag, he'd have to remember to include old Mr. C: Lake Redemption's own Captain Ahab.
He put the phone back to his ear. "I hear what you're saying, babe, but I'm just not ready to forgive you. Have you seen the counselor yet about that internet porn addiction thing?"
"I can quit anytime," Sam said. "So I take it you've got company? Can't talk right now?"
"Something like that."
"All this covert crap is going to make me gray before my time." From the other end of the line, Syd heard the scratch of pencil on paper. "Call me when you find something."
"Sure, sweetheart. Was there anything else you wanted me to know?"
"Last night I dreamed I owned a castle on the moon, complete with my own harem of green, three-breasted women." The distinctive click of Sam's Zippo preceded his phlegm-filled inhalation. "Does that count?"
"Bye, baby." Syd snapped the phone shut. "Sorry about that, Mr. C."
"Sounds like your woman's giving you trouble." Mr. C hoisted himself up, and Syd followed him back out into the drizzle. It was a short jump from the boat to the floating dock. Mr. C alighted with a ballerina's grace. Syd almost landed on his ass. The steady smack of water on fiberglass followed them down the walkway, past three other boats, and onto the gravel parking lot.
"Yeah, we're having a few problems," Syd said, sticking to his story. "You know, normal couple stuff."
Mr. C scratched at his beard. "Women are complicated."
Were they? Syd rarely gave them more than a passing thought. "I suppose," he hedged.
They stopped beside Syd's car. But for the occasional fat drip that bounced off Syd's windbreaker, the rain had stopped. "Could've sworn you were gay," Mr. C said, his tone so even that Syd replayed the scene in his head twice, positive he'd misheard, before answering the question with one of his own.
"What made you think that?" he asked, tacking on an amused laugh.
Mr. C puffed on his pipe like a locomotive. Then he pointed to the rainbow bumper sticker on the back of Syd's Taurus. Did We Vote No On YOUR Marriage?
Oops. "It's my wife's car."
"Ahhh." Mr. C nodded. "Now I see your problem."
It was a tossup which was worse: playing the pathetic straight man who'd married a lesbian or blowing his cover to save his dignity. Sam was going to have a field day with this. "It's a long story. I'd rather not talk about it."
"No doubt."
Syd retrieved the last bag from the car and hoisted it over his shoulder with a grunt. The seams were stretching between the handle and the bag, but then it hadn't been designed to hold $2,000 worth of camera and spy equipment.
Mr. C eyed the bag. "What you got in there? Rocks?"
"Books." Syd hoped that would satisfy the old man. "Take care of my car," he said with a wink.
"She'll be safe here. Not a soul around for miles. Just me."
They backtracked to the boat together. Mr. C watched Syd stash the duffel in the main cabin, then pointed at the wheel house. Syd took a deep breath as he climbed the steps. He'd never driven a floating camper, but how hard could it be?
Mr. C hopped back onto the dock and loosened the forward line. "All right. Just like I showed you. Start her up. Keep it in idle speed."
Syd obeyed. The twin motors roared to life.
"That's good, Mr. McTighe. You're a natural," Mr. C called.
Natural what? Syd prepared to shout back, then he saw it. The placid surface of the lake hiccupped, and a line of water, maybe two feet high, rushed toward them. Shock stole Syd's chance to shout a warning. The wave hit, lifting the floating dock clear out of the water, exposing the pontoons beneath. The houseboat rocked like an amusement park ride, and Mr. C went flying.
Had he not been vaulting through the air right toward the houseboat, Syd would've missed the expression on his face. Not fear. Resignation.
He landed in an ungraceful sprawl on the platform above the motors, and the tossing boat tipped him helpfully toward the churning water between them.
"Mr. C!"
Beneath Lake Redemption is a creepy tale filled with hot men, secrets, ghosts, and the allure of a great ending. While I enjoyed reading BLR quite a bit, I was feeling slightly ambivalent about it until the ending. I loved the final touch and that really brought me around to the cleverness and interest the story shows.

Sounds like business as usual between bankers and the courts.
Reading between the lines, attorneys will get half the settlement, victims will get a pittance, the bankers get a gentle slap on the wrist and the government legal system declares a victory. If I was the chief justice, there would be a different settlement: attorneys would get a pittance, victims would get paid in full plus 25 percent interest, the government legal department would get some teeth with real regulations and bankers would go to prison. No fines, no good behavior, no Club Fed, no bail. All pensions and golden parachutes would be liquidated, all attorneys disbarred, everyone's career — over.
Real justice would be served.

President Barack Obama announced Tuesday he will nominate Judge Sonia Sotomayor of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2d Circuit to the Supreme Court, setting her on course to become the court's first Hispanic and third woman in history. Conservative groups have vowed opposition or tough scrutiny, but supporters said her lengthy resume and her lesser-known qualities of collegiality and persuasiveness could make her a powerful force on the Court for years to come.

Ones and 0hs, and 0hs and ones -
Oh look! We share a love of puns!
0hs and ones, and ones and 0hs
We kiss through poetry, touch through prose.
Who would have thought, through gigs and RAM
I could tell you who I am?
Could tell you things so deeply hid.
Should I press "send"? Too late; I did.
Our laughter rolls round cyberspace;
It's our own very special place
Where we can share our thoughts and hopes
And have a few illicit gropes.
Not between sheets but between screens
We snuggle up; what does it mean
To you, my dear? Is it just fun?
I know I'll never be "the One"
Not in real life, but in the ether
Could I be your verse and you my meter?
If I should feel a little sad
And look for you in my iPad
Will I find your cheeky smile?
Of course I will - it's safely filed
Along with words, my bits of you
To cheer me up when I feel blue.

we all missed that. I refer readers to 'bing' binary systems as they relate to celestial mechanics and computer science. 5ed for depth
by HarryHill03/03/13Well byte me LoL
I also liked the line "Could I be your verse and you my meter?" although it seems to me it would be more effective as a statement rather tham a question. ie: I could be your verse and you my meter.

So the clean undies & socks just get tossed on the bed. Along with the clean clothes. And the dozens of stuffed toys who are too big to fit in the condo construction but are such BFF's with the Webkinz that live there that they cannot stay anywhere else because they'd be lonely. And who am I to argue with lonely Webkinz? It's bad enough I broke up the family via this never-ending divorce. I cann't break up the stuffed toy families, too. That's too much destruction for me to bear.
But even if the bedroom didn't have an enormous condo in it, I still wouldn't fold my underwear. That's simply wrong on every level of operation.
Except my white socks. Those are in a shoe box in my top drawer. Everything else is chaos.
People fold underwear? That's just so wrong
I fold. Even thongs. I'm kinda OCD about some stuff though, so there's that.
'til the roof comes off. 'til the lights go out. 'til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth
I fold. Even thongs.
is that even possible? What do you do, tie them in a bow?
Undies are just thrown in, they are a total jumble, and so are bras....after hand-washing and hanging them.
However, my closet is organized by color and by style.....
I have intermittent OCD......
my closet is organized by color and by style.....

Nope. Fold the long (crotch) part up to the waist and sides in. More like an envelope.

I know this really doesn't have a whole lot to do with interior design, but I just stumbled on it looking through this great paper company's website, MaeMae Paperie. Whether it is for stationary or making hanging tags or anything that just needs a cool looking stamp, this is it. It would look great on a hanging tag for your favorite pair of jeans in that boutique you love or even on a Christmas card to impress all of your friends at your impecable design sense.

Getting ready for baby

Hi I'm due to have baby #3 in may . Since my last child was five years ago I have no baby items left , I'm just wondering what items big and small do you have on your list of things to get . I'm also debating if we should get a capsule or a convertible car seat . All ideas and suggestion would be greatly appreciated .
#2Posted 08 December 2012 - 08:34 PM
A capsule is good because when bub falls asleep in the car you can just take the capsule inside with you and leave bub in it. They are good for up to about 6 mo ths. You may be better off renting one (try your state's ambulance service).
A rocker (you don't really need one of those ones that rock themselves) A playmat with dangly things above it. Bub won't be interested in the dangly thing for a while so just don't use the bit that goes over the top for a while. The mat part is good for tummy time. Microwave steriliser if you are bottle feeding or plan to occasionally express. Chair for bub's room for feeding A lamp (not too bright) for night feeds Wraps, you can buy these in packs at Target, BigW, KMart. As bub is due in May you will need flanalette ones. When our bub was born in March we only found flanalette ones at BigW until winter started. Cube style shelving units from Ikea are good #3Posted 09 December 2012 - 03:23 PM
I have to try and convince dp we should get a capsule

gdcalc is a financial, statistics, scientific and programmers calculator for Unix and Linux with both RPN and algebraic modes.
The GUI was written with glade and uses the Gnome/Gtk+ toolkit - so it may well be compatible with themes and other whiz-bang features of those systems.
gdcalc has both Algebraic notation (ie. conventional, TI or Casio style) and Reverse Polish Notation (RPN or Hewlett-Packard style). If you've not heard of RPN before, you are probably familiar with algebraic calculators.
Very briefly, while simpler and more natural to use, RPN calculators need some study eg. they have an Enter key instead of the equals key.

Now that you've had an overview of Fireworks' Live Filters, let me demonstrate in more detail some of the more important of these filters, starting with Beveled Edges. Applying a beveled edge to an object gives it a raised look as you can see here in these three button examples. There's a raised look to it, it has a drop shadow here in the lower right-hand corner. You can actually create an inner bevel or an outer bevel. Let me demonstrate by starting with a simple rectangle, flat rectangle, with rounded edges. As soon as I apply the rectangle to the canvas I have this Filters option down here. Click on the plus sign, which is the Add Live Filters, or Choose a Preset button. I have a list of my Live Filters. Let's choose Bevel and Emboss. Notice that there are two bevels and two embosses. I'll be reviewing the embosses a little bit later, but let's start with Inner Bevel. That gives me a flat inner bevel by default, but I can open this drop-down and choose a Smooth Inner Bevel, Sloped. Frame 1 is interesting. That's the image that you would put in a two-frame animation. You'd place this image in Frame 1, then use a Behavior, which I'll cover later, to animate that when you roll over it. Frame 2 is the Frame 2 image, they're a little bit different, so that simulates a nice animation, and then there's a Ring Inner Bevel, as well as a Ruffle Inner Bevel. Probably the most common one you'll use is the Smooth, and then there are options here for setting the width of the bevel. Oftentimes my students will overdo these bevels and they kind of look like candy lozenges, but the default settings I think are pretty good, gentle and subtle. You also have a Percentage Contrast here. Default is 75 percent, but you can increase that to give a little bit more contrast between those dark areas, and then you have below that a Softness value. Default is three, but you can bring that all the way up to 10, or zero. Then you have an Angle. You probably want to keep the angle at 135, and that will give you your drop shadow, your darkened area down and to the right, which is the default on most operating systems. Let me now demonstrate an Outer Bevel by drawing another rectangle with rounded edges there, choosing from the Filters area the Add Live Filters button, click on that and choose Bevel and Emboss. This time let's do Outer Bevel. The default is to do a flat outer bevel with a red border, but I can click on that color chip. Let's choose a darker blue like I had over there on the Inner Bevel, like so, and I think that width is much too thick. Let's do five or four pixels. Again, I have a Percentage Contrast, and a Softness as well as an Angle. I'm going to keep those to the default. I can also do a Highlighted Outer Bevel, an Inset Outer Bevel, as well as an Inverted Outer Bevel. Probably the best way to experiment with these is to try these with various roll-over animations, which I'll be covering later in the Behaviors section of this tutorial, but there's my Inner Bevel, and there's an Outer Bevel. Let me now move on to the next movie and review the Emboss options: Inset Emboss, and Raised Emboss.

It's debatable whether Taylor will get anything close to his asking price.
Kimmel and Trump sold their places before the real economic collapse. And Taylor's property doesn't even have coveted direct oceanfront, as Kimmel and Trump had.
The last picture clearly shows S. Ocean Blvd. running between the house and beach.
I'm thinking he'll get closer to $50 million - maybe.

Random Inspo
Just some random inspiration, which I really need right now. My social life is officially over since I'm locking myself up for the rest of the month to try to finish the first version of my thesis. I'm a little behind so it will be less fashion, more thesis this month but I'm trying to keep it unnoticed by you guys. I mean, I will still have to wear outfits right, why not shoot them? Anyway, when my brains are doing research all day I will need a little inspiration from time to time. This is what inspires me right now.
Vests, vests, vests. Can't get enough of them. This is one of the fanciest (and most expensive) ones out there. Isabel Marant, of course!
Would soooo wear this. I've been looking for the perfect pair of cream colored jeans for a while now, but no luck so far.
Will I ever get enough of ombre nails?
Oh, those Alexander Wang Joan's.. Wishful craving..
More vests. Can't get enough. Will spice up any outfit stat.
Loving these very long bangs. Might not be very practical though..
Loooving these all denim looks from Ksubi AW2012

Remember Meera Vasudev? She is known to us as the actress whom Blessy introduced to Malayalam films opposite Mohanlal in the much acclaimed film 'Thanmatra'.
Meera, after making a very impressive debut, acted in a few more films and had soon disappeared from the film scene. She had acted in films like 'Ekantham', 'Oruvan' and 'Vairam'.
Following her divorce, Meera had taken a break from films, but the now the actress is back to give Malayalam films a second try. She would be seen doing a key role in the film '916′ that is being directed by K Mohanan

When it rains, it pours. (Ed. Note: Please note absence of Click Rain-related pun on top of that cliché. You're welcome.) Join us in welcoming our third new hire in as many months: Social Media Strategist Lauren Glover A new USD grad and Kappa Alpha Theta alum, Lauren puts the "social" in social media. Her marketing skills and flair for all things social make her perfect for handling a variety of social media and marketing initiatives.
And yeah, she's totally wearing a glam-o-rific evening gown in her staff bio avatar, but don't let appearances fool you—Lauren loves skiing and pizza and cars (think Megan Fox, without the dead weight of those pesky Transformers). We're glad to have her, and hope that you'll enjoy working with her as much as we do.
P.S. Lauren's husband's name is Danny Glover, not to be confused with Danny Glover.

I've now listened to my lectures and thought the whole thing over. I must confess that I felt a bit insecure after giving them, for I had so much to say and, in order to make it fit, got off my notes fairly frequently. After listening, I think the lectures came off well, but I did notice a number of places where I misspoke. Again, I had all the info in my notes, but I did not always use these notes, which is, I guess, just how it goes.
Here are the mistake that I have found:
1. In my first lecture, I refer to a "William of Greenwich" as a critic of Geoffrey of Monmouth. This should be William of Norwich.
2. In my second lecture, I say that Henry of Navarre was killed by a Jesuit because he was suspected of retaining Catholic sympathies. Obviously, I meant to say that he was suspected of still holding Protestant sympathies.
3. In my third lecture, I briefly reference the Prussian Union, saying that it was a plan of "Kaiser Wilhelm." I should have said King Frederich Wilhelm, as I meant Frederick William III of Prussia, not one of the later German "kaisers."
These could probably have been understood by some people anyway, because of their context, but I wanted to at least acknowledge the mistakes.

I'm looking to lighten up the trigger pull on my S&W 686. Should I just put in one of Wolff's mainspring and rebound spring kits? I notice it comes with one mainspring, and three rebound springs. Why three? Also, will the reduced powder mainspring cause misfires? Thanks-

Inspired by AJDaGreat, I'd like to know what everyone's criteria for judging greatness are. I'm going to list some of my own below, and add whichever you think are important too. I'd like to know, so when we talk about great, we know what we're talking about.
Some qualities I consider when determining greatness, to get people started:
Is the message clear/important/universal?
Is it well acted/well written/directed/edited, etc.?
Is it beautiful or artful?
Does it affect people emotionally/spiritually?
Does it affect people intellectually?
Does it stand the test of time and not seem overly dated?
Would it be equally as appealing to people of different cultures, races, genders, backgrounds, etc.?
Do you consider any of the above, if so which? And what other things do you consider when looking at greatness as opposed to your favorites?
Let's have a big discussion (I hope). Oh yeah, and remember to see Bowling for Columbine. I mean it!
"Is the message clear/important/universal?"
To be honest, I don't think the 'message' necessarily has anything to do with a film's (or work of art's) greatness. It can, especially as it is worked into the aesthetics of the piece, but to elevate the message so highly is frankly to lower art to the level of propaganda, which I have little tolerance for.
Other than that comment, I'll try to steer clear here, since my thoughts on this matter are very well documented elsewhere on this site (for the record, excepting purely nontextual elements (ie, nostalgia, you were watching the film when you first fell in love, etc. etc.) I find any attempt to divide 'favorite' from 'greatest' silly and futile, usually either a) overvaluing the opinion of others over your own or b) using some basis for judging a work beyond the simple (yet complicated) question of 'does it work?" Great acting and directing mean nothing if it don't add up to something.).
Oh, and I LOVE Citizen Kane, and not because I admire how it was made (though I do), but because I love the film. That's why I think it is great.
MHO, natch!
Shalom, y'all!
L. Bangs
As you noted, I know we've discussed this extensively elsewhere, but I can't find those discussions! Do you remember where they are?
Does it affect people emotionally/spiritually?
When I think about greatness, I try to remain objective. Sometimes it's hard to decide whether a movie is really emotionally moving or just specifically appeals to me.
Does it stand the test of time and not seem overly dated?
I don't think datedness should really be an issue. I don't like when a movie is criticized as being dated because it captured the essence of the time period it was made in. It's not like the moviemakers were really thinking about predicting how the world will change in the future.
Well, that's my two cents
As far as datedness goes, I find it to be very important. If something is truly great, I don't tihnk it ever feels date. Think about books - something like The Gilgamesh Epic, centuries old, and yet it's theme and content still seem so relevant. What's the point of a movie that won't be relevant to another age? You can watch it as history, but can you still watch it as entertainment or art?
I usually try to stay away from these type of discussions as much as I do cucumbers. I hate cucumbers. but I am feeling a little adventurous tonight.
I am a firm believer That personal favorites and greatness have to be the same thing. Of course all of it; personal favoritism or greatness, is a completely subjective decision. What is great for me has so much to do with what I believe and what I have experienced in my life.
So Lbangs is correct when he says message should have nothing to do with it but he is also wrong if that message touches the viewer in some way that viscerally, emotionally or intellectually that viewer is effected then it has to be great for them. But another viewer could be left unaffected. Ultimately a movie that attains true greatness touches many.
As to Citizen Kane and the "sterile" feel of it. Jen you are correct that is one of the effects Welles may have been seeking as ultimately Kane's inability to connect is his undoing but the vibrancy of that story is what I have always loved about it. Somehow I think all the camera techniques that have been ballyhooed these many years has in some ways made the script and the characters underrated. If that is possible.
Ultimately almost anything can make a movie great. The performance of Peter Lorre in M. The musical soundtrack of Goodfellas. The Theme song to High Noon. Hell the Dog in Umberto D. made that a great movie for me.
So greatness seems like it should be an objective discussion but I have never been able to reconcile the true subjective nature of any artform with that reasoning. Ultimately I guess as a good determining factor for greastness may have to be how objectively it appeals to the most subjective opinions. That which can touch the most viewers without selling it's soul is probably great.
I knew this topic had the smell of a cucumber to me.
y'know, slice the cucumber up, put some ranch on it, shroud it in iceberg lettuce and you have a palatable dish.
i'm just sayin', is all.
"but he is also wrong if that message touches the viewer in some way that viscerally, emotionally or intellectually that viewer is effected then it has to be great for them. "
Well, not exactly. When the message enters into the emotional impact of the film, it enters the aesthetics, and as I said, it then can add or detract from art. Take the message from many early Dylan songs, and you spade the songs. Why? The message is sown into the fabric of the art.
When people start claiming that a piece's message can make it great or lessen it in and of itself, I always ask them what message their favorite symphony has, or what exact messages architecture attempts to communicate.
And yes, this is all *very* subjective. I fear too often attempts to separate 'favorite' from 'great' is an attempt to find objective truth where, in the matter of taste, there is no objective cold-stone-hard truth. In that realm, the best we can do, I believe, is construct a list of the most 'important' or 'influential' films, which is what I think most people are heading towards when they speak of 'great', although the two are not the same. The original Jazz Singer, with its sections of spoken dialogue, is certainly one of the more influential films ever. As for great, er..... No.
Despite the lack of objective fact, I still feel our commoness allows us to discuss, debate, and often communicate very well about matters of taste, about the strengths and weaknesses of a particular piece of art. More than most post-structuralists would admit to, that's for sure. It is all symbols, but most of the symbols have been shared for centuries, and we have much more cultural inheritance in common that most people realize. Language and art may be incredibly slippery, it may be a miracle we ever communicate at all, but regardless, that miracle occurs to some degree a trillion times every day. That's sorta how I feel about talking about art - subjective, sure, but we share more territory than we think, and thus discussion, debate, heck, even critiques are still pretty valuable.
So, I think (I could be wrong, but I think) you and I are closer here than it may appear.
And I also think I'm beginning to babble...
Shalom, y'all!
L. Bangs
No Mr. Bangs I agree we are very close in our opinions. Personal favorites inherently must be considered the greatest or you are not being true to yourself. But ultimately greatness is measured by the collective or the more people who consider a movie great in some way determines the success of an artistic endeavor. Unless the audience is not meant to be the collective.
Now I know I am babbling.
I may just be entirely too pompous to go with that, or maybe I've just read to much Soren K. :)
I mean, most of the work usually consider truly great (and this goes for literature, art and music, as well as other art media) still only is loved by a small number of people in practice, though by a great number of people in lip service. Do we narrowly define the audience that determines greatness, and won't we largely end up including people more like ourselves anyway?
If only the critics liked Mulholland Drive, does that count? If The Breakfast Club is consider the greatest film of the 80s by most of the folks in my peer group, does that count?
Honest questions with no dagger in cloak...
Shalom, y'all!
L. Bangs
Kierkegaard ..ahh beware of those existentialists. A certain recipe for pomposity.
I say Mulholland Drive is great irregardless to the critic's community opinion. (Not to mention, I think there are many non critics who loved this movie.)Ultimately great has to be a personal subjective decision. I love Mulholland Drive not because the critics love it but because it is a movie that touches the film freak in me and it was a visual smorgasboard.
Breakfast Club too can be be great for some. It did do a reasonably good,if not trite, job of disecting High School life. And the best thing about it is I suspect that disection is universal in place and time.
I certainly do not dismiss others opinions on the merits of art but I guess with age comes a certain feeling of self worth that maybe I can not do a great job of defining greatness but I know it when I see it, or hear it, or read it.
Good answer.
I should also add that I do not discount the opinions of others. They often alter my own, and regardless, even though I hold to my opinions on matters of greatness, I am usually humble enough to accept the possibility of being wrong.
In other words, I believe wholeheartedly, but I'm just barely wise enough to realize I could have it all wrong, even though I don't think I do (or else I would believe differently).
That comments pretty much applies to all my religous and philosophical beliefs (accepting aesthetics as a branch of philosophy)...
Shalom, y'all!

Patent Act: First to file and its exceptions
On March 16, 2013, the United States will transition from a first to invent system to a first to file system under the America Invents Act ("Patent Act"). As the March 16, 2013 date approaches, inventors and businesses should consider the following things when implementing a patent protection strategy.
General rule and the exceptions
Under the Patent Act, any disclosure dated prior to the filing date of the inventor's patent application will considered prior art and bar the inventor from being granted a patent on the invention unless one of two exceptions applies. Hence, the general rule is that you must be the first to file.
First exception
Under the first exception, if the prior art disclosure is 1 year or less prior to the filing date of the inventor's patent application and the prior art disclosure is the inventor's own disclosure or from someone who derived the information from the inventor, then the prior art disclosure will not be considered prior art for purposes of patentability and will not bar the inventor from obtaining a patent. As such, even if the inventor is not the first to file, the inventor can still be awarded the patent.
Caveat to the first exception
The caveat is that the first exception will apply to the extent that the inventor can prove that the prior art disclosure is actually that of the inventor or from someone who derived it from the inventor. Accordingly, to be on the safe side, inventors and businesses should keep track of the names of individuals to whom a disclosure is made and the exact subject matter being disclosed to those individuals.
Second exception
Under the second exception of the Patent Act, if the prior art disclosure is 1 year or less prior to the filing date of the inventor's patent application and the inventor publicly discloses the subject matter of the disclosure before the date of the prior art disclosure, then the prior art disclosure will again not be considered as prior art for purposes of patentability. As such, even if you are not the first to file, the inventor can still be awarded the patent.
Caveat to the second exception
The caveat is that the second exception will apply to the extent that the inventor can establish an earlier public disclosure date. This exception appears to encourage early publication of an invention since the inventor's own publication will not be used against him/her under the first exception and the inventor's earlier public disclosure can be used to overcome a third party's prior art. However, the courts have yet to construe what is a sufficient public disclosure under the Patent Act that can be used to overcome prior art. Also, keep in mind that taking advantage of this exception may be a wavier of foreign patent protection.
Definition of public disclosure
Under current U.S. Patent Laws, a printed publication is one that can be found by those interested in the subject matter. The expectation is that the legal definition of public disclosure used in the Patent Act will be similar to the legal definition of printed publication. If so, then if you publish your invention on the Internet on a random website, then can those interested in your invention find it on the Internet? Based on my experience, Google does not immediately index all web pages. Even if a web page is indexed, the information might be ranked on the 100th page. Is this a sufficient public disclosure to fall within the second exception? At this point, no one is sure. The provisions of the Patent Act must be litigated and the courts must decide the issues on the merit.
Patent strategy
In developing a patent protection strategy, if an inventor or business is considering taking advantage of the public disclosure exception, then the better route would be to file one or more provisional patent applications early and often at least until the courts define public disclosure. Moreover, be aware that the public disclosure option will only be good for what it discloses just like a regular patent application.
I invite you to contact me with your patent questions at (949) 433-0900 or email@example.com. Please feel free to forward this article to your friends. As an Orange County Patent Attorney, I serve Orange County, Irvine, Los Angeles, San Diego and surrounding cities.

Sleep Well Double Sublime Memory Foam Mattress Topper
by hannahlucy i love love love this mattress! would NOT be without it! it uses NASA technology using your body heat to molds to fit your body, so you get no back aches or anything because it gives you so much support, and is so snug and warm! prevents tossing and turning in the night so you wake up feeling refreshed, and you don't have to turn these ... mattresses over, some people may want to but you don't have to :) the only problem is in the summer you wake up boiling hot, but its amazing in the winter! what i do is put a smaller thinner quilt on in the summer so i don't get so hot. I went away for only five days a few weeks back, and my back killed being without this mattress, as soon as i got home the first thing i done was collapse onto my bed :) feels like heaven, literally! my nanny has one of these, and so does my mum, i got everyone to try it and they just HAD to get one!:) you seriously won't regret buying this mattress, worth the money and you won't have another bad night sleep again! haha i feel like i'm trying to sell this to you, but really do it! :D hope this helps.

Sleep Well Double Sublime Memory Foam Mattress Topper
by mswhizz Memory foam is a type of foam that moulds to the body following the natural contours. This allows your body to relax and it helps the blood flow easily through your viens as there are no pressure points to restrict the flow. As a result of this you tend not to toss and turn so much during the night giving you a more resful nights sleep. ... This foam was discovered by Nasa and they still use it for their astronaughts. The first make of mattress was Tempur. I have recently purchased a memory foam mattress Topper and would not go back to a standard type ever again. I could not believe how comfortable the mattress felt and had the best night sleep ever. When I first lay on the mattress it felt quite hard but as my body heated the foam it started to mould to my body. I also use a memory foam pillow which has been harder to get used to, but once you are used to it you won't go back to a normal pillow. I have read reviews that do state that memory foam takes a while to get used to but this wasn't the case for me. The foam mattress arrived tightly packed and quarter of the eventual size. You have to let them stand for 8 hours for them to fully expand. There is an odour with them at first (not horrible) but distinctive, a bit like surgical spirit mixed with rubber. This smell goes though so don't be put off by it. There are many on the market at the moment and you can get them at all leading stores and ebay and they range from £100 (double size) to £300. The heavier the density the more expensive. I have read that 4cm is enough to give you complete support, as even thicker toppers or full size mattresses do not depress more than this anyway. You may find you need a lighter tog quilt as they are warmer than a standard mattress and if you overheat at night these are probably not for you, as they do hold in the heat. I hope this review is useful to you and thanks for reading it. Read the complete review |
Sleep Well Double Sublime Memory Foam Mattress Topper
by louise1254 This has to be the best purchase I've ever made. I always suffered from a bad back and found sleeping awkward due to struggling to get comfortable. All that changed the minute I put this seemingly unimpressive piece of foam on top of my mattress. I woke up the next day having not woken up once during the night, hurray! The more I used it ... the easier my back pain became. Obviously as the day goes on the pain re-emerges however I now look forward to going to sleep instead of being anxious over whether I'd sleep or be tossing and turning all night. I realised just how much straighter my spine was in the mornings as I have to adjust my rear view mirror when I get in the car in the morning and at night by about 2 inches. Also when I stay away at a hotel or on holiday I realise just how much I miss my memory foam topper as I find it almost impossible to get comfy. So much so I don't really mind coming home just to get a good night sleep again. It helps to distribute your weight evenly so no more pressure on your heavier bits. It also helps to regulate your temperature and moulds into your individual shape. If your partner is a fidgeter then you don't notice them wriggling around either as they are in their own individual island of comfort. Could go on for hours about this but all I want to say is just try it. Read the complete review |

I then decided to just put them on a few different spots to bottom fish only. In all we marked alot of fish, but one spot just turned out to produce a good grouper bite, each one got one keeper grouper and we released 2 just under the 24 inch mark and got rocked on a few more bites, here are a couple of pics.of three happy anglers. for more look up www.miamimuttonman.com

text: Anorgasmia, or the inability to achieve orgasm, is a sexual disorder that affects men and women alike. However, studies have shown that women are more likely to fall victim to this condition than men. It can be the source of sexual frustration and cause the individual to suffer from low libido. Furthermore, if or when sexual excitement is triggered, pelvic pain can result from lack of relief of tension. In other cases, anorgasmia can eventually bring on limited or complete absence of sexual arousal. Because anorgasmia exists in varying degrees, it is classified according to its extent into primary, secondary or situational anorgasmia. Knowledge on what constitutes each category could be helpful. The primary version describes cases in which orgasm has never been achieved. Sufferers of this incredibly rare condition are not necessarily sexually dysfunctional; they can experience low levels of sexual arousal without the peaks required for an orgasm to occur. More often than not, they can still derive some sexual pleasure from kissing, cuddling and caressing, as well as from the intimacy of the act of penetration. While underlying health problems may be the cause of primary anorgasmia, there is often no apparent physical or psychological reason explaining one's inability to have an orgasm. The term secondary anorgasmia refers to cases in which the ability to have an orgasm has been lost. The causes are many and varied in this department, ranging from physical traumas to psychological issues. Depression and grief are examples of psychological complications that lead to secondary anorgasmia. Certain medications and substance abuse may also be the root of this condition. Major health problems that impair a person's blood flow, such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease, can reduce the individual's capacity to feel sexually aroused. Pelvic trauma, surgery, and particular conditions such as diabetic neuropathy might have damaged the nerve endings of the pelvic area, causing inability to reach orgasm. Finally, hormonal imbalances often affect an individual's libido, eventually resulting in anorgasmia. The third variety is situational anorgasmia, whereby orgasm is possible in some situations but out of reach in others. For instance, it could be a psychological response to a particular stimulus, to intercourse with a certain partner, or to a type of foreplay. In most respects, it is frequently just a matter of sexual preference and rarely classified as a serious problem. Recommendations Psychological problems such as inhibitions or trauma are generally handled through psychosexual counseling, whereas depression disorders are better treated with relevant psychotherapy. Hypnosis has also been deemed helpful as a way of curing psychological anorgasmia. Physical anorgasmia that originates in hormone imbalances can be corrected with hormonal patches or tablets prescribed by a medical doctor. Decreased blood flow to the pelvic area may also be remedied by medication. In some cases, a clitoral vacuum pump device can be used with good results. Nerve damage from pelvic trauma or surgery is not as easily fixed. However, research into ways of re-growing damaged nerves is currently underway, suggesting that a cure might be available in the future. Back to Female Sexual Dysfunctions |

An investigation over the death of Yellow Springs resident Paul E. Schenck is over. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine gave the report Tuesday morning. The report sheds light on the six hour standoff with police this summer that ended in Schenck's death, but leaves some questions unanswered.
The Bureau of Criminal Investigation collected evidence over a three month period. BCI concluded that the 42-year-old Schenck was killed by a Greene County Sheriff's Deputy during the standoff and not by his own hand.
The Office of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine's Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has released a preliminary report regarding a July 30 standoff at a Yellow Springs residence that lasted nearly six hours.
