Giving faux fur an outing for fall
Resident Image hair salon and market publisher Melissa Magsaysay calms your sartorial woes within the weekly Your Hair salon blog column
What's your deliver the fur/faux hair trend? My sister just purchased a jacket with a link faux fur scruff of the neck and cuffs we all were arguing in regards to this looking cheap (I locate it looks kind of cheap; she says it's "in" right now). Don't you settle this reasons? KM, Santa

I agree with the two of you. To your sister's are directed, the fur (and a lot more politically correct) imitation fur trend within full force correct now fall, coming in starting from swing coats right onto duffel bags. But Alongside this think that faux fur can simply go very wrong if a list some cheap acrylic mess that looks more like several Chewbacca costume than the trendy piece d from clothing.
So items Maggie is on parade in her new dress to buy a jacket or cosy sweater trimmed with or made entirely related to the faux fur that season, first purchase that it doesn't feel as if a can of the company's Aqua Net was removed all over lighting up. That tacky-to-the-touch experience of equals tacky about sight as in most cases. The texture ought to always be as soft and plush as is possible.
The pieces I'm hoping particularly love at whatever time faux fur are jackets plus a removable faux fur collars. This army- lilac bomber jacket approximately Rebecca Taylor ($495, pictured bottom right) offers an optional faux fur collar that looks real and lays nice and flat so the type wearer doesn't sense that she's giving a genuinely piggyback ride down in a Muppet. Plus there are options -- collar on constitutes a statement, collar off might be a more understated or and ultimately you have a little more bang for your buck.
There are a hard faux fur guaranteed treatments on QVC (yes, I discussed it, QVC) that actually be ideal. Rachel Zoe, as their

Voice, my favorite origin of wear this faux fur trend is by using a "Mad Men-esque" rotate. This simple sable skin tones swing coat on the Wink ($288, top picture) abilities short sleeves possibly a 1960s appeal that works with skinny browning pants and flats in addition to a high-waist pencil dress outfit and heels.
Don't exaggerate with the made up fur trend (or advantage from any trend, within matter), because it's one that will definitely you looking like a fur-swathed company victim.

By Sharon Wilson, organizer for EARTHWORKS' Oil and Gas Accountability Project
If you've been following this blog for very long, you know how I love industry's own literature for disclosing how destructive their processes are. But, before we get to that, can we pause for a common sense moment?
I'm not a scientist and I don't like playing scientist but sometimes I have to employ common sense and fourth grade science until the scientists catch up. So let's talk about fracking earthquakes: These diagrams were drawn by a petroleum engineer. They show how fracking causes earthquakes but they don't tell nearly the whole story.
Some people are highly invested in blaming the earthquakes on injection/disposal wells. At all costs, industry wants to point to anything but fracking as the cause. I don't think it's as simple as injection/disposal wells versus fracking because everything is connected. I would also caution you against too eagerly pointing to injection wells as the only cause unless you want a whole new marketing scheme from industry to convince us how useful drilling waste is. The fact is shale gas extraction produces massive amounts of toxic waste and it's got to go somewhere.
What follows is some common sense that may not be perfectly scientifically accurate but just like the early posts about the hydrologic cycle, I'm circling around it.
Read More: FLOWBACK—How the Texas Natural Gas Boom Affects Health and Safety
When Adam was about 8 years old, I put him on a little league team. Since we home schooled, he was always eager to share what he learned with his teammates. Our lesson for the day was how air has mass and weight. When he excitedly shared his discovery that air does indeed have mass and weight, they all laughed at him including the adult coaches. So, some people lack knowledge of even basic elementary science.
Methane/natural gas has mass and weight. So does condensate and all the water and fluids they are withdrawing. When you pull that mass out, it creates a void. What do you suppose happens when you have a void under the earth down somewhere in the strata? They do put fluids back in but it doesn't always equal out and it's not always in the same areas. When they extract mass the ground will sink a little…or a lot. When they inject mass the ground will rise a little…or a lot.

Keeping Dogs Safe While Outdoors
Almost exactly a year ago our little dog ran into the street and was hit and killed by a car. We now have Morgan who is about 10 months old. We've been tethering him to a stake but plan to put up a fence so he can run and get a little more exercise. What else can we do to keep him safe yet allow him to exercise outdoors?
Outdoor exercise is on the minds of pets and people as the weather warms. It's as beneficial for our animals as it is for us. But they also face dangers from cars, fences, other animals, insects, and heartworm disease. You cannot provide 100 percent protection for your dog but you can take some steps to minimize the possibility of a tragedy like the one that took your old pup. Fencing an area where the dog can run is a good start. Training to avoid warm weather hazards also is important. Start gradually by taking Morgan on short walks through the neighborhood. This will make him familiar with his surroundings in case he escapes from the yard. The walks also will limber his joints and muscles for more strenuous exercise. Make sure that Morgan is up-to-date on his vaccinations and is taking heartworm preventative medicine. His rabies and (if required in your area) dog license should be securely fastened to his collar along with your name and phone number. Neighborhood children, meter readers, and others who may go in and out of the backyard may leave the gate open and let Morgan escape. A sign or chain should take care of the situation. Check Morgan regularly for ticks, fleas, and other pests, especially if you are in a wet or woody area. You will protect him -- and help keep the pests out of your house. The best protection against insects is a bathed, brushed, and trimmed dog. As the temperatures rise, it will be crucial to have shade and a ready supply of water in the yard for Morgan. Heat stroke can be a serious threat in hot, humid weather. Among the most common complaints of dogs in summer are rashes, itching, and shedding. The culprits usually are fleas, insect allergies, some plants, pollen, and heat. Severe problems should be treated by a veterinarian. Make sure Morgan is indoors when your yard is treated with herbicides and pesticides. Until the chemicals dry, they can get on the feet of a dog who will lick them and get sick. If you take these precautions, Morgan should have a safe, happy and healthy summer.

Why would they keep this kind of cash at home? I'd be terrified to walk out of the bank with $208,000. I'd be nervous with even $1,000. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to keep this kind of cash. If you want to take it elsewhere, get a cashier's check or arrange for a wire transfer.
Now, to even imply in this article that the bank should somehow remedy the Heflin's financial loss is ridiculous. This is the same man who withdrew more cash after he was already robbed of $82,000. Didn't he learn his lesson the first time? The bank didn't force him to cash out anything. You should be talking about remedy from the Thomases.
I really do feel sorry for the people, but their actions sure were stupid.

Bluffton ran through the first half of its schedule with ease to the surprise of virtually no one. Now comes the real test.
The Bobcats are preparing for their first Class 4-A bout Friday night against Beaufort High, a game coach Ken Cribb calls the true measuring stick so far for his football program. A win would give Bluffton — which is already presumed the favorite in what has been a down year in Region 8-AAAA — an early advantage in league play.
"The coaching staff is very experienced and very successful," Cribb said of the Eagles. "It's no secret what Beaufort's going to do. They may throw a little wrinkle at you here or there, but for the most part they're not going to get away from what they do. ... (We have) a lot of respect for their program.
"That's the kind of what we set a standard to, to become a dominant team like Beaufort's been."
Hilton Head Island High, meanwhile, already got its early league up in league play after knocking off Stall last week. The Seahawks will face a much stiffer test this week in Region 8-AAA, as they travel to James Island.
A win would be the fifth this season for the Seahawks, which would surpass last year's win total.
"They're a good football team," coach B.J. Payne said of James Island. "They're not a lot of thrills, bells and whistles. They line it up and bring it at you."
Beaufort High (3-3) at Bluffton (6-0), 7:30 p.m.
The Bobcats are gunning for their third consecutive 7-0 start, and this would probably be the biggest. Bluffton is looking to make an early statement as the newest members of Class 4-A and to a man are out to prove they belong.
"We're having some success and we're proud of it," Cribb said. "We've worked hard and we earned it. But it seems like we get a lot of unwarranted attacks. Look at three years ago, look at the scores and we're having trouble with Ridgeland, Hardeeville and Wade Hampton.
"Hilton Head used to beat (Bluffton's) brains out. All of the sudden we're having success. We're not claiming to be world champions. We're having fun with what we're doing."
Bluffton is planning on having some more fun Friday night at Bobcat Stadium. To do that, Cribb and Co. will have to get past a Beaufort High team that has tasted its share of success this season in what has so far been an up and down season. They lost last week to undefeated and second-ranked Goose Creek, 65-14.
"You can't gauge them by Goose Creek," Cribb said. "They'd make the Dallas Cowboys look bad. I know they've been up and down a little bit. But they're a confident team in what they do."
Cribb wants to see Bluffton — which moved up to No. 5 in the 4-A rankings this week — come out sound in the tackling department. He wasn't pleased with what he saw in the fourth quarter last Friday against Hilton Head High, when the Seahawks ran for touchdowns of 40 and 60 yards, and the Eagles will look to take advantage of that behind senior tailback Jaclay Mixon.
"We're going to have to block and tackle very well," he said. "One, they're huge. So we're going to have to reach down a little deeper. They're going to be harder to move."
Prediction: I don't think this is as going to be as big of a win as some are expecting, but I expect the Bobcats to move to 7-0 nonetheless. I'll take Bluffton, 34-16.
Hilton Head High (4-2) at James Island (3-3), 7:30 p.m.
B.J. Payne isn't expecting the book to be thrown at he and the Seahawks Friday night at James Island. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
"It's a veteran offensive line, they're all seniors," Payne said. "Their smallest lineman is the center at 5-6, 270. They're like 240 across the board. Their fullback is about 5-9, 200. They line it up and pound it at you. They're a wing two team.
"There's not a lot of bells and whistles. They've done it against everybody."
So expect James Island to pound away at the Seahawks' defense, which has shown the propensity to give up the big play this year. But thankfully for Payne, Hilton Head High has had some success this season against teams like James Island.
"We've got to get stops," he said. "When we get in third down situations and we have a chance to get off the field we have to get off the field. Luckily for us, they're not a big play offense. That's probably what we're better at defensively."
Prediction: The Seahawks know what they're going to get offensively from quarterback Michael Julian and tailback Khalil Lewis. The question is how their defense will respond. I'm not sold just yet, and think Hilton Head High loses a close one. James Island 30, Hilton Head High 28.

I do not wish to turn this forum into a debating zone of sorts and while I do appreciate the comments made by Beng, I do not appreciate his most uncalled for sarcasm.
I merely said that Anwar is not ready to put his trust in the medical attention given to him by the government. Doctors currently being appointed by the government to handle Anwar's medical case are most unsatisfactory and their actions most questionable.
I wonder if Beng has heard of what one 'government-appointed doctor' did for Anwar including declaring that 'Anwar is ready to attend court' without even first meeting Anwar himself. After that episode, can Anwar still trust these government-appointed doctors?
And even if Eric Chia is imprisoned, and he demands that he be treated overseas, that is his right. And please be informed that Anwar's spinal case is not some 'vague pain'. It is also not the case of getting 'complementary and alternative treatment'! Anwar's trust of the local docs will never coincide with his trust of the government.
Can it be proved that if Anwar accepts the government's offer for local treatment, he will be accorded the best local doctors in the field? Could the government not appoint the doctors of its choice? Would Anwar have a say in which doctors are to be appointed to hold the knife? You tell me.
If Beng is unbiased, I demand that he brings to public view his comments regarding Endon Mahmood and her preference for overseas treatment.
Personally, I would not bring myself for treatment to a clinic where doctors are hotheaded and emotional. Then again, one has to be a patient to understand that concept.

text: ferozepur: it was a remarkable show of unity by the various factions of the newly formed panthic morcha, here on monday, on the occasion of the beginning of a series of state-wide dharnas launched by it. the panthic morcha is agitating against the alleged sell-out of riverwater rights of punjab to the centre by chief minister parkash singh badal as well as against the union home ministry's move to grant amnesty to policemen and officials who were allegedly responsible for the killing of sikh youth in fake encounters. addressing an impressive gathering, prof prem singh chandumajra, secretary, sarb hind shiromani akali dal (shsad), said they had formed the panthic morcha to prevent the congress and sad from capturing power in the ensuing assembly elections in the state. he further said the morcha would take up the issue of the river water dispute, transfer of chandigarh and punjab-speaking areas to punjab, unemployment and farmers' loans. president of sad (amritsar) and panthic morcha member simranjit singh mann, in his address, critisized the non-performance, corruption and nepotism of the badal government. while the common man was being deprived of basic amenities badal and his party were busy accumulating wealth through unfair means. mann said the farmers were frustrated and educated youth disillusioned. he urged the people to vote for the panthic morcha in the assembly elections. another senior leader of the morcha, ravi inder singh, pointed out that there was hardly any difference between badal and the congress, as, according to him, while the congress betrayed the interests of the state, badal betrayed the interests of the panth. among the others, former m p bhai dyan singh mand, inderjit singh zira, kernail singh bhawra, capt rode and jaskaran singh addressed the gathering.

Homes of the Rich and Famous
By Jspace Staff on 1/20/2012 at 11:49 AM
Everyone wants to see the rich and famous. After all, spotting celebrities is probably one of the biggest draws to coming to Los Angeles in the first place. So where does one go to see their houses, albeit from afar? There are several tour companies to pick from. Even people who couldn't care less about celebrities will appreciate the architecture and designs of the beautiful mansions shown on the tour.
Anyone familiar with TMZ (celebrity gossip brand) will appreciate the TMZ Tour. This is the opportunity to find out everything you ever wanted (or needed) to know about celebrities in two hours. Find out where celebrities party and see the hottest spots in Hollywood. The real fun of the tour is that the TMZ guides are ready to stop the bus at any moment to interview celebrities. Imagine being part of celebrity news! One of the best parts of the tour is the price—it's only $49.
The Ultimate Dreams Homes Tour run by Another Side of Los Angeles Tours was created to give tourists an experience beyond the typical. What does it include? A tour of Rodeo Drive, Sunset Strip Homes, hotels and lots of celebrity homes. Don't worry about being hot or uncomfortable; these tour buses or vans are air-conditioned. Some of the tours are personalized: One guest was a huge fan of "Glee," and had an opportunity to see where the show films. At $250 for two hours, these tours are a bit pricey. But for an even more high-end experience— at $1996 for four people—you can be whisked away to the glamour of Los Angeles in a stretch limousine. Part of the fun of the tour is getting the backstories of celebrities and movies. Don't worry about getting hungry—the tour includes complimentary snacks and bottled water.
The Legends of Hollywood Tour gives passengers personal attention from Mark Morris, a tour guide with several years of experience. Travel in first-class style in a Mercedes Benz Sprinter with a 32" HDTV flat screen TV. The best part of the tour is that only 11 people can fit in the car so there's less of a chance of sitting next to someone really annoying. Night tours are also available. One of the most unique parts of this tour is the multi-media aspect—watch scenes from a movie, see the locations they were filmed and listen to the soundtrack at the same time. For a private tour at just $159 an hour, 11 people can create their own itinerary.
Cheaper tours are also available. The Hollywood Double Decker Tour only costs about $38.95 and shows at least 45 celebrity stars homes. Free pick-up at hotels in Hollywood makes it even a better deal. It hits all the famous spots, including Grauman's Chinese Theater, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Rodeo Drive and Sunset Drive.

The top photo shows a mud horse (with basket and nets) from an exhibit at the British Museum. Below that is Adrian Sellick, reposted by the Telegraph to be the last mudhorse fisherman in England -
Mr Sellick, a father-of-four, fears the mud-horse method will be lost forever when he finally gives up as there is currently no one interested in learning the trade...A large photoset showing Mr. Sellick at work is posted at grovelinda's Flickr photostream.
'It is difficult work, you lie on your belly on it and push with your feet across the beach, but you sort of pick up techniques from watching. I don't believe you could do it unless it was in your blood, I am the fifth generation of my family to use the mud-horse and I could never give it up.''
While researching that topic, I kept encountering unrelated material about a "grass-mud horse," such as this YouTube video (subtitles NSFW)(content repeats after 0:53):
This rather bizarre entity is explained at China Digital Times, first with these lyrics:
There is a herd of Grass Mud Horses*and these footnotes:
In the wild and beautiful Ma Le Desert**
They are lively and intelligent
they are fun-loving and nimble
They live freely in the Ma Le Desert
They are courageous, tenacious, and overcome the difficult environment
Oh lying down Grass Mud Horse
Oh running wild Grass Mud Horse
They defeated river crabs*** in order to protect their grass land
River crabs forever disappeared from Ma Le Desert
* Grass Mud Horse (草泥马) is phonetically equivalent to "F**k Your Mother!" in ChineseSo the song and the videos and the phrase "Grass-mud horse" are vehicles used to protest internet censorship in the P.R.C.
** Ma Le Desert (马勒戈壁) is phonetically equivalent to "Your Mother's C**t"
*** "River Crab (河蟹) " is phonetically equivalent to "harmony (和谐)." Chinese netizens say their deleted posts have been "harmonized," or "eaten by the river crab." So "river crab" became a code name for internet censors.
"Grass Mud Horse (草泥马)" is not an uncivilized word and is not officially banned, therefore it can be sung publicly. Although many people use "Grass Mud horse" as an alternative curse or just use it randomly, this word and its deviant expression already generated a pattern of discourse and sub-culture. "Grass Mud Horse (草泥马)" represents such information and opinions which cannot be accepted by the mainstream discourse, and "the Song of the Grass Mud Horse" has become a metaphor of the power struggle over Internet expression.This alpaca-like animal appears to be the representation of a grass mud horse:
and this CNN video from last year summarizes the entire meme:
I expect TYWKIWDBI will now be banned in China...

To all who reads this story: sorry if the grammatical errors make it hard read. It is a work-in-progress. |

PEPPZ 5 years, 1 month ago
I once dated someone exactly like this with almost the same symptoms and behavior. Very difficult for me to deal with because on one hand the unstoppable self-regard, selfishness and her spoiled nature (sorry) made me angry towards her but on the other hand I wanted to help and change her because I knew something was wrong. So on one hand I felt kinda bad for her because she obviously had some issues but on the other it was very difficult to deal with someone who blames the "issues" for all her flaws and shortcomings. I guess I didn't know what was the disorder and what was real and eventually it was too much for me. I don't mean to offend you bleeding but reading your story really made me remember what it was like with that person so I was just conveying my experiences. |

Perfectly understandable Peppz, even though it is a work of fiction there are elments of me and others I know in there, but perfectly understandable what you went though it dealing with her at the time, your reaction is one I wanted, because I was trying to convay a confusing, but selfish person taken over by an illness beyond her control. |

Hello Chuck- I'm getting errors. Below is the output from the MKBasic test, as well as my LocalConfig.py. All the tests complain about this: ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 25: Duplicate entry '1' for key 1. I think the problem is actually a bug in MySQL.

College of Medicine
This unique part-time course covers all aspects of Trauma Surgery, from initial resuscitation to final recovery.
Part-time study: This course is only for part time study and a follows an 18 month programme.
Morriston Hospital is one of only 6 centres in the United Kingdom housing all surgical specialities required to provide comprehensive care for trauma patients, and hence is the natural home for an MSc in Trauma Surgery. The shortening of medical training is placing greater emphasis upon post-graduate education. A Masters Degree embracing the principle surgical disciplines involved in UK Trauma care aims to set new standards in this field and lead into high quality research.
Trauma surgery is a practical discipline, and much of the educational sessions will be given to Moulage scenarios and surgical skills simulations. These methods will be familiar to candidates, but the course will weave these experiences together into Moulage skills practicals. The experience gained in these simulations will cement the factual knowledge acquired, with its clinical application.
The taught element of the programme lasts 18 months, followed by the dissertation. There are 7 short blocks of study over the 18 months. Modules include: Trauma: the disease; Trauma: the turning point; Healing & rehabilitation; Regional Trauma; Definitive Reconstructive Trauma Surgery; Evidence based health & social care; Health research methods & dissertation preparation. There is an opportunity to pursue an MSc after completion of the first 18 months, which would require submission of a dissertation over a further 12 months.
Applications are invited from those pursuing a career in Trauma & Orthopaedic, Burns & Plastic, or Maxillo-facial surgery. Candidates for the course must have ATLS and have obtained or nearly completed Part 3 MRCS (or equivalent for Maxillo-facial surgery candidates), and must be able to demonstrate a track record clearly indicating the intention to pursue a career in one of the above specialties. Applications will include a structured CV in order to assess the clinical experience and career pathway. Two references from Consultants in the relevant field of interest will be used to confirm clinical experience, career pathway as well as academic ability. Candidates must provide proof from their relevant employers and supervisors (Postgraduate Dean and College Tutor) that the candidate will be released from their obligations to attend the course.
A limited number of Bursaries towards fees are available within the University, to assist candidates meet the course fees. Details of how to apply will be given to successful applicants. Bursaries apply to EU applicants only.
The College has an interdisciplinary approach to clinical, health and experimental research, which is also at the heart of its six storey state-of-the-art Institute of Life Science. In an effort to develop radical research solutions to old medical problems its research enterprise is driven by 22 internationally recognised professors, supported by 180 research and teaching staff, academics and clinicians.
Assessment is designed to give students the opportunity to demonstrate their achievement of the module learning outcomes. Different assessment methods utilise different abilities and qualities of the students and a range of methods will be used in programmes in order to be fair to all students. For this programme unseen written examinations, moulage skills practical examinations, essays, research proposal and a portfolio with specific learning outcomes will be used as assessment methods.
Information regarding dates and times for Enrolment can be found on the Student Records webpages.
Applications should be made through UCAS.
Please see this page for information on studying at Swansea University

Burnaby Now story about a boy who loves the Beatles
- Published on Saturday, 17 March 2012 05:13
- Category: Burlesque
The Burnaby Now published an article about a wee boy who took guitar lessons at a little music shop in Burnaby so he could learn all the Beatles songs he could.
"Morris took guitar lessons at a small guitar shop in Burnaby to learn as many Beatles songs as he could. "Now I get to play this music at a beautiful theatre and for some of the best burlesque artists in town," he said."
We've now been covered in three local papers: The Surrey Now, the Burnaby Now, and the New Westminster Newsleader!
You can read the entire Burnaby Now article on their website.
Surrey Now and New West articles on Beatles Burlesque
- Published on Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:34
- Category: Burlesque
Both The Surrey Now and the New Westminster Newsleader published articles on Beatles Burlesque this week.
In the Surrey Now, Tom Zillich writes: "Blue Morris is on a mission to fuse the music of The Beatles with bumping, grinding burlesque dancing." ... I sure am!
You can read the entire Surrey Now article on the Surrey Now website.
The New West Newsleader asked me about my experience with live music and burlesque and how I got involved with that. I told her that I wanted to bring live music back to burlesque because that's the way it was done in the old days. All that bumping and grinding would have made the records skip.
She quoted me on that, though I don't think I said it with enough humour. It comes off as though I was serious. haha.

text: Great attentive service. We hardly ever had an empty glass (which is something a lot of places don't pay attention to). Food was excellent. Chicken fried chicken, biscuits, okra, veggies and fries. Everything was cooked well and hot. Great place to stay if you're in the area, especially since most everything else is fast food.

You know those nights when you have an entire meal planned out in advanced, but when dinner time roles around you just don't feel like eating that oh-so-exciting dish? Well, last night was one of those nights. As delicious as sun-dried tomato and feta stuffed chicken sounded, I just wasn't in the mood for those flavors. I wanted spice and citrus. I decided to save that for another night. Instead, this is what I came up with.
The cilantro vinaigrette pulls this dish together. It adds a nice tangy flavor that is a great compliment to the spicy shrimp. Roasting the tomatoes gives them move flavor and juice, making this recipe even more delicious! I was planning on eating this with guacamole and salsa, but tasted it and realized it didn't need any additions and was perfect as is.
Chipotle-Lime Shrimp Taco Salad with Cilantro Vinaigrette
Serves 4
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- salt & pepper
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
- 1 1/2 lb raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 tbsp chipotle chili powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 limes
- 1 cup frozen yellow corn
- 1 cup yellow onion (roughly chopped)
- 6 cups shredded romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a Mexican blend)
- 2 cups of tortilla chips
- 1/2 cup Cilantro Vinaigrette
- Preheat oven to broil. Place tomatoes in a small pan and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder and garlic powder and coat the shrimp. Note: Use more or less seasonings can be used to suit your own personal preference.
- Broil the tomatoes in the oven until shriveled (about 5 minutes).
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a saute pan and cook the shrimp with the juice of 1/2 a lime (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Heat another tbsp of olive oil in another pan and cook onions, corn, and beans until heated through (about 3-5 minutes).
- Spread tortilla chips evenly among 4 plates or bowls and top with lettuce.
- Place shrimp, tomatoes, onion, corn, and beans over the lettuce and sprinkle with cheese.
- Drizzle cilantro vinaigrette over the dish and garnish with lime.

Iraq Success 'Catastrophic': Bush
by Roy Eccleston in New York
GEORGE W. Bush has admitted the US failed to plan for a speedy victory in Iraq, describing the sudden collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime as a "catastrophic success". In a rare concession from the President, who dislikes admitting error, Mr Bush told Time magazine that his planners had not considered the prospect of a quick collapse. "Had we to do it over again, we would look at the consequences of catastrophic success – being so successful, so fast, that an enemy that should have surrendered or been done in, escaped and lived to fight another day," he said. Mr Bush sought to blame the prolonged war -- in which 969 US troops have been killed so far -- on an over-quick victory that meant the US ended up having to fight "a third more" of Hussein's Baathist supporters than military planners had expected. Democrat vice-presidential candidate John Edwards seized on the comment, made as the President prepares for a high-profile week with the Republican Party's national convention in New York. "President Bush now says his Iraq policy is a catastrophic success," Senator Edwards said Monday. "He's half right. It was catastrophic to rush to war without a plan to win the peace." Mr Bush said he believed the war on terrorism would be a long-lasting ideological struggle, but he declined to call it a fourth world war, saying: "I'm not the historian -- I'm the guy making history." The President will outline his second-term agenda and remind Americans of the threat of terrorism in his pitch to the convention. The slogan for the event, on banners hung around the convention hall inside Madison Square Garden, is "Fulfilling America's promise: a safer world, a more hopeful America." Mr Bush enters the week in the most hopeful shape he has been in for some time, thanks largely to a mix of strident attacks on John Kerry's war record by a group of White House-linked ex-Vietnam veterans, and some stumbles by the Democratic candidate. The polls are still mostly showing a tight race, but any movement has been in Mr Bush's favor recently. The Bush camp's key re-election message is that he is the best man to keep the US safe, and that Senator Kerry is too indecisive to be trusted. That is why Mr Bush came to the Democratic stronghold of New York leading up to September: it is where the terrorist attacks occurred three years ago next week. Underscoring that message, Republicans opted to kick off their week with Vice-President Dick Cheney and former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani speaking at Ellis Island, against the backdrop of New York missing its World Trade Center towers. Mr Cheney wasted little time working that fact into his speech, warning of the continuing threat to the US -- "and a sure reminder of that is the skyline of this great city, which was altered so violently on September 11, 2001". Mr Bush, he said, echoing the twin themes of the week, was "strong and steadfast" and also "compassionate and concerned". The main speakers in the three nights preceding Mr Bush's Thursday speech mainly aim to soften the hard edges of the President, whose critics say he has never lived up to his promise to be a "compassionate" conservative. Apart from Mr Giuliani, who favors abortion rights, the speakers include Arnold Schwarzenegger of liberal California, Laura Bush, and former Vietnam veteran John McCain of Arizona, whom Senator Kerry reportedly considered as his running mate. © Copyright 2004 The Australian ### |

Letting go is so much easier when you are lying on a butcher paper covered table, and stuck with needles. Why is that? I can let go at my Acupuncturist's office, but in the real world, things weigh heavy on my heart. Maybe I should take the needles to go? I even asked. She said it is illegal, but the good news is…it is completely legal in Japan. Why are things that make us feel good illegal here? Just a thought. Maybe a move to Japan is in order.
As I lay on the table with needles all over me (thank God there are no ceiling mirrors so i could see just how great I looked), I thought about letting go, which probably only makes it all the more difficult to actually let go.
I let go of anger or grudges I have held towards people that have hurt me, my husband and my son this past year. I let go of trying to figure out why people hurt one another in general. And when I did (and just stopped thinking, in general), all was calm. Well, the scented eye mask and tranquil music probably helped, not to mention the fifty or so needles in my arms, legs and who knows where else, as well.
I was hoping I could take my new attitude out the door sans needles. I made it to the car and still felt great. So far, all was not lost. I realized that letting go of my perceptions and expectations of others or how I think things should really be (my way, of course), made a difference in how I felt.
It doesn't change the way things really are, just how I perceive them. Lesson Learned: Letting go doesn't come without a price. And a hefty price left at the Acupuncturist's. But, well worth it.

I've forgotten how to talk on the phone. Is that bad? Look, I get the basics. It rings, I answer. But how do you convey emotion? There are no emoticons, no lol's.
How do you know when the other person is thinking, or if the awkward silence is due to the fact you have just said something to upset him/her. There is no indicator to let you know. Text messages and emails are so much easier. Getting right to the point. No beating around the bush. No small talk.
Here's the start of pretty much every phone call.
"Hi, Mihal, it's me."
"Oh, hi (fill in name here)." Although you already knew who it was from caller ID, you still pull the surprised tone.
"Did I catch you at a bad time?" How do you answer this one? "No, I was just sitting here in anticipation, waiting for the phone to ring, clearing up my schedule completely, in case anyone happened to call."
You get my point, there is too much wasted time. And when you're a mom, every free moment equals longer mom naps. The longer the conversation, the shorter my nap. With a text message, it's simple and straight to the point. "I'm running late." "Be there in five minutes." "Call me." "I'm going to bed." "Your test results came in positive." There's no need for small talk…ever, in my opinion.
During the day, I am so busy running around, even in my own place (either I'm overdoing myself or I really need to get on ADHD meds). I hardly have the time to just "chat." And I mean this respectfully to anyone who calls me (or used to call me, until they read this). Most of my conversations are done while driving (yes, on a headset or speakerphone) from place to place, with my son in the back seat asking me to turn up his music (and he's only three, so I'm sure this will get worse).
Being that my time is limited, I don't have time for small talk. How am I, what am I up to, how's my day been so far? Let's just fast forward to the reason you called…am I late on my phone bill? Do you need advice? Just keep the questions short and quick and I'm good. That is why email works so much better for me. I can keep in touch with all my friends at 2:00 a.m.
Even important messages aren't phoned in anymore like, "Happy birthday," or "Grandma just died." What are phones good for anyway? I'm sure we could reach emergency service quicker by sending an email, rather than dialing 911 and waiting on hold.
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing as personal as actually hearing someone's voice, but what's more important, being personal or productive? Exactly!
And with emails, you never have to be interrupted by "the other line." I never really understood call waiting. You are on the phone, but interrupt the conversation to answer another one, in case it is more important? Waiting for a better one to come along? If you were enjoying the conversation you were already having, would you be so quick to get "the other" call?
Emails and texts just make it that much easier, and no one has to know if you were interrupted during their email or even in the bathroom while typing it.

My son loves pancakes. Who doesn't? Anything with "cake" in the name has to be good, right? But making them, that's another story. Whether you are making one or fifty, you still need a bowl, a measuring cup, a spoon or whisk, a ladle, a frying pan and a million paper towels to wipe off the entire counter and stove top from the batter you have splashed in an attempt at flipping the damn things. (Ok, maybe it's just me.)
So you can imagine how excited I am when I discover new "instant" pancake mixes. (I don't get out much, can you tell?) Instant is not always so instant, of course. The instant mixes usually require adding eggs, oil and water. How is that saving me time, when I have to hunt down the extra ingredients and make sure my fridge is always stocked with eggs? (Ok, got the water part down, but running to the market for eggs if you're out, defeats the whole "instant" notion.)
So, leave it to Israel to come up with an "add water" version. Wow, like those little plastic pegs you drop into water and miraculously turn into dinosaurs or giraffes or pancakes? Well, not quite that simple, but simple enough.
It's Kahan's Instant Pancake Mix. You just add water and stir, but still have to ladle the right amount of mix, of course, fry and flip. Now, I know that I can have pancakes ready any time. Tap water is always on hand and best for us…or so we are told. No plastic bottles to recycle. See, so you are even helping the environment.
Just when I thought I couldn't be more excited about pancake mix, I happened to stumble upon an even greater invention (now keeping Kahan's on hand for pancake emergencies). I discovered Organic Batter Blaster (OU Pareve) at Whole Foods. I know what you're thinking, the name doesn't make it sound so appealing, but it makes for a catchy jingle: "Make better breakfast faster…Batter Blaster." (I didn't make that up…see for yourself @ batterblaster.com and make sure the sound is turned up on your computer when the site loads.)
What's so great about this one, you ask (besides the jingle)? I'll tell you. There is no need for any additional ingredient or dishes, just a frying pan (flipping still required, though). Batter Blaster is convenient in a whipped cream-like spray, where you simply squeeze out the mix onto a greased frying pan. (Sounds appetizing?) Figuring out the right amount or shape to squeeze out is a little tricky, though, so the first or second, third or fifteenth pancake won't be perfect, but walla…eventually you'll get the hang of it, and create instant spray pancakes. (Just don't confuse the whip cream with the pancake mix or things could get messy as you top off your ready cakes)
Now, my son enjoys pancakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner…poor guy, until they create instant mac and cheese in a spray can, of course. I will keep you posted when I hear of anything.

Dear God,
It's been a while. Sorry we've lost touch. I hope you remember me; we haven't spoken since the days of my Holly Hobbie diary and its important content - questions about boys and acne care products. I figured the Internet was the best way to reach you nowadays (and I have since lost the key to my diary). I just have a few questions I was hoping you could help me with. I'm sure you must be busy this time of year, with American Idol decisions for next season, world peace and the whole inscribing in the book of life thing these next few days. So, I'll be quick…or try to be anyway.
1. I don't find enjoyment in activities that I used to or frankly never really enjoyed: laundry, dishes and dusting, to name a few. What am I doing wrong? I've been waiting for things to get better for a few years now. Do I just find new hobbies and give up on these? But, how do other women do it and enjoy it? You know, the women on television. Especially the laundry, they seem happy doing it. I even tried switching fabric softeners, thinking that was the issue, but there was no spring in my step and no snuggly bear jumping out my dryer. Is it me? I want to be like those women in crisp white outfits, whose husbands can't wait to come home to brighter whites. Sure, my husband has never said anything out loud. But I know the truth. I could really use a pointer or two here, please help.
2. Are play dates really necessary? My son seems perfectly happy watching DVDs all day while I write. He never complains. When we finally head out to the park, we usually meet another child with his mom, or at least I think it is his mom, later discovering it's the nanny, when mom finally comes to pick him and the nanny up after her manicure appointment. The freshly mani-pedied mom asks me when my employer will be there to pick me up, or if I need a ride home. Then we trade phone numbers so we can set up the next play date. I get both mom's and nanny's cell phone numbers. So, who do I call? It just gets way too complicated.
3. And lastly, can you explain "Me time?" What is that? And is this something that people actually get? How do I get it and where? Is it available on the Internet? I hear people saying that I should have more me time, but can't seem to find it.
That's it, for now. Enough about me, how are you? I'm looking forward to your response. Feel free to reach me via email, snail mail or burning bush, however you handle things these days.

It's almost New Year's Eve. Not the one where you get inebriated, watch a ball drop, and call it a night after singing Auld Lang Syne. It's Rosh Hashanah, where even after food, family and guilt, the night is far from over as the guilt lingers.
Guilty feelings over things you would've, could've or should've done differently over the past year. Now, it is time to make amends with those that we have hurt, offended or plain right annoyed. Time to forgive and forget. But, is it really that simple? Should we just ask for forgiveness and forgive for forgiveness' sake? (Are you following?)
What about the old adage that says: "Once something is broken, you can fix it, but it will never be the same again." Isn't it just easier to get a new one, whatever it is? I'm just saying…
Happy New Year.

Leashes for children. How convenient, right? Moms are too busy shopping at the mall or chatting on their cell phones to worry about where their child is at all times, so why not just put a leash on him? It just makes sense, because when moms are in the middle of that important phone call about the latest nail colors, they shouldn't be interrupted. They can simply tug on the leash and pull their child back towards them. Even a quick run into Coffee Bean to score that chai latte is possible. Simply tie your child to a table outside. (Don't forget to leave a bowl of water if it's hot).
Absurd, right? Just because something is convenient, that doesn't make it justified. Communication? Discipline? Hand-holding? Keeping an eye on your child the whole time? Are all these things overrated?
I think we've crossed the line between dogs and children. We now have dog parks where owners can unleash their dogs. Some might argue that we have parks where children are unleashed as well, so I'll give them that much. Then there's the doggy stroller dilemma. Does one carry their teacup Chihuahua in a sequined duffel bag or push them in a doggy stroller? And why is this always at the mall? Doesn't putting a dog in a stroller emasculate them, for one? Could you see a rottweiler or pit bull in a doggy stroller? And what is the purpose anyway? They need to nap? They haven't learned to walk yet? Aren't these the reasons strollers were invented in the first place…for babies, the human kind? But I'm getting off topic a little here…back to leashes for kids.
I'm not a big fan of leashes, if you couldn't tell. And the fact that the leash, a.k.a. harness, is attached to Elmo or a teddy bear on the child's back doesn't make it any more acceptable. What next, a muzzle?
I was at the mall the other day, where leashes seem to be the norm, and noticed a mom on her cell phone holding a leash attached to what appeared to be a child. (I couldn't really tell, because this leash extended so far out, it was hard to see whom it was attached to.) Mom was conveniently shatting (shopping and chatting) and tugging at the leash every so often until it would hurl the toddler back to her. Like a yo-yo. At this point I could tell it was a child, when she was flung back to her mother. I decided to wait for mom to finish the call and asked her why she decided to leash her child. Her first response was, "My friends suggested it." Oh, O.K., so that explains a lot. I pushed further. "I just don't have time to keep track of her. And this way she won't run away." So, the message she is giving her daughter is: You will not run away from me, because you can't. If this is her philosophy, I'd hate to see the type of leash she has on her husband.

On a recent trip to the 99 Cent Only Store, I got more than my share of Ziploc bags and paper goods for under $10. As I was checking out, an elderly gentleman behind me smiled at my son (who is 3) and I. While glancing at my son he said, "They teach us more than we can ever teach them."
I nodded, grabbed my cheap paper goods and headed out to my car. On my way, I began thinking about what he said, and of all the things I have learned from my son.
This is what I came up with as I made my way to the car (it was a long walk):
1) We are born with our personalities, yet spend a lifetime trying to reinvent ourselves with what is deemed appropriate at the time.
2) We are forced to say "I'm sorry," even when we are not.
3) We have to share, even when we don't want to.
4) We learn to lie to please others. "Let's call Auntie X to tell her how much you love that sweater she knitted for you. Of course it is a much better gift than that train set you wanted. Trains can't keep you warm."
5) We learn that we must cover up our feelings. "Please don't yell at the waiter, because he spilled ice cold apple juice on you, Sweety. It was an accident."
6) We learn that being polite often means compromising ourselves. (No explanation needed.)
7) We NEVER get hurt. "I know you fell down, but you're O.K.! Here hold this compress over your bruised ego…I mean knee."
8) We bend the truth to protect our families. "Of course your cousin loves you even though she doesn't send you birthday presents or Hanukkah presents or call or visit or…"
9) First we have to get the icky things done, before we can play. Really? "Put away the toys and then you can go out and play."
10) Authority always wins. "Because mommy and daddy said so." and lastly…
11) Doing things on your own, makes you big.
My son challenges me everyday to be the best person I can be. As cliched as it sounds, it is an extremely difficult task to take on. I can only trust that what I teach him doesn't take away from who he is. I hope that I am on the right track. (From the looks of my list…maybe not.) If I am wrong, (and what parent is, really?), I can only hope that when he is an adult and in therapy to discuss me, his therapist goes easy on me. And to my son; I apologize in advance.

I envy those that think of themselves first. There, I said it! You know? Someone who looks out for number one, not thinking about number two. Now, there's a difference when you don't have a number two in your life, and then of course you are looking out for you and you alone. Are you following?
I know someone who does this with great ease. She gets up in the morning and it's all about her, all day, every day (and no, this person isn't me). I envy her. Why? Her biggest worries are what she is going to do, wear, and eat. She has a number two in her life and in fact, a number three and four and a huge extended family, but it's all about her.
I envy Mrs. #1 because her life is simple and okay, a little materialistic, and 100% selfish. It's not that I want to BE her or even be like her for that matter, but what intrigues me is how carefree a person like this can actually be. Between Botox and teeth whitening appointments, she doesn't really know what to do most of the time (and no, there is nothing wrong with caring for oneself, unless it becomes a little obsessive). In fact, she often forgets that there is a family she has to take care of. I envy the way there is never a care on her mind, even in the greatest of struggles and family dysfunction. The gym? Not for this lady. Too much effort, and why? There is always corrective surgeries and girdles to hide those extra inches or wrinkles.
I am the last person I think about after errands, deadlines, son's activity schedule, chores, and hubby's errands, deadlines, schedule and chores. Then, I come in. And by the time I do, I'm too tired to think about me.
Although I envy a carefree all-about-me lifestyle, I would never want one. I couldn't imagine life without my family and caring for them. I need deadlines, traffic jams, fleeting creative ideas and those that stick. I couldn't imagine life without love and pursuing what I love.

► Transparent larval zebrafish can learn to avoid a shock after conditioning ► Photobleaching of KillerRed-expressing habenula afferents prevents active avoidance ► Expressing tetanus toxin in dorsal habenula efferents prevents active avoidance ► The change from avoidance to freezing occurs after multiple trials
Animals quickly learn to avoid predictable danger. However, if pre-exposed to a strong stressor, they do not display avoidance even if this causes continued contact with painful stimuli [1, 2,1, 2]. In rodents, lesioning the habenula, an epithalamic structure that regulates the monoaminergic system, has been reported to reduce avoidance deficits caused by inescapable shock [3]. This is consistent with findings that inability to overcome a stressor is accompanied by an increase in serotonin levels [4]. However, other studies conclude that habenula lesions cause avoidance deficits [5, 6,5, 6]. These contradictory results may be caused by lesions affecting unintended regions [6]. To clarify the role of the habenula, we used larval zebrafish, whose transparency and amenability to genetic manipulation enables more precise disruption of cells. We show that larval zebrafish learn to avoid a light that has been paired with a mild shock but fail to do so when pre-exposed to inescapable shock. Photobleaching of habenula afferents expressing the photosensitizer KillerRed causes a similar failure in avoidance. Expression of tetanus toxin in dorsal habenula neurons is sufficient to prevent avoidance. We suggest that this region may signal the ability to control a stressor, and that its disruption could contribute to anxiety disorders.

If I backup my documents and pics to the ext hd, can I safely delete them from the resident computer? I know this is probably a stupid question, but I have never used an ext hd. Thanks in advance.
If those pics are personal digital photos in which those are your only copy, you need to visually verify the copy by looking at the reported file sizes in the directory they are stored in.
Such precious data is best to be dual backed up, a second source being burned on dvd from the original copy.
But if single backup is your choice, just verify they did in fact move to the external drive before you delete the masters.
Same goes of course for your documents.

Here's one to make Cleveland fans shake their heads: A partial owner of the hated Pittsburgh Steelers is buying the Browns.
Randy Lerner has reached a deal to sell the club to Tennessee truck-stop magnate Jimmy Haslam III a minority stockholder in the rival Steelers.
Lerner will sell 70 percent of the Browns to Haslam now, with the other 30 percent reverting to him four years after the closing date, a person with knowledge of the sale told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because details have not officially been announced.
Haslam scheduled a news conference at Browns headquarters for Friday .
While the papers have been signed, the NFL still must approve the sale. Getting the nod from 24 of the 32 teams is required, and no date has been set for a vote because the sale has not been presented to the league yet.
Ex-Aggie Wagner may start in Seattle
Seattle rookie Bobby Wagner is being given first shot at taking over as starting middle linebacker.
Finding a replacement in the middle of Seattle's defense was an offseason priority after David Hawthorne signed with New Orleans. The Seahawks opted to try to fill the spot through the draft, taking Wagner in the second round out of Utah State.
Wagner hasn't won the job yet, with head coach Pete Carroll saying that he still wants to see Wagner in preseason games before handing over the job.
