Almond Foams
Spumini Mandorlati
What I love about these bite-size meringue and almond cookies are their delicateness and their almost ethereal texture and taste. And I also love the name given to them by my Tuscan friends and super cooks Giovanni and Iris Lodovici, spumini mandorlati, the literal translation of which is "almond foams". This exquisite cookie calls for only four ingredients, is quick to put together, but requires a 45-minute baking time to produce a dry, crisp spumini that literally melts in your mouth like foam.
1 cup whole blanched almonds
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 225ºF.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Grind the almonds in a food processor until very fine and transfer them to a medium-size bowl.
In an electric mixer whip the egg whites until they are foamy. Gradually whip in the sugar, a little at a time, until the egg whites begin to form peaks and appear shiny. Whip in the flour a little at a time. Fold the nuts into the egg-white mixture until they are well blended.
Use 2 teaspoons to spread small rounds of batter onto the parchment paper, spacing the spumini about 1/2 inch apart. They will spread a little. Or fill a tipless pastry bag with the batter and pipe out 1-inch rounds.
Bake the spumini without opening the oven door for about 45 minutes, or until crisp. They should remain pale in color.
Allow the spumini to cool completely on the baking sheets, then carefully remove them from the parchment paper.
Note: These are perfect to serve with fresh fruit, ice cream, or sherbets.

Fair Youth Artwork, New Trailer Video & Tonnes of European Shows Added
So this is what Fair Youth will look like. The artwork for the release has been lovingly created by our good friend Fraser at WeTheConspirators, and it totally reflects how we imagined it would look.
He's been working on all the visual material for the record, including this second teaser video, which we can finally show you – filmed during the various recording sessions for the record, and featuring a tiny bit more music from 'Fair Youth'.
We've also added a bunch more shows to the tour, this time in mainland Europe. Check the full list of dates so far via the medium of this lovely new album themed poster, or head over to the SHOWS page.
One Comment
I cant even begin to tell you how excited I am. Excited both for the new music, but to see how this new entry in your history has progressed from your beginnings. Watching you guys evolve has been a lot of fun.
Congratulations on the new album!1↑

Title: Development of a Pulsed 2-micron Laser Transmitter for CO2 Sensing from Space
Author: Upendra Singh
Organization: NASA Langley Research Center
Co-Authors: Jirong Yu, Yingxin Bai, Mulugeta Petros and Robert T. Menzies
Carbon dioxide (CO2) has been recognized as one of the most important greenhouse gases. It is essential for the study of global warming to accurately measure the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and continuously record its variation. Studies of the carbon cycle are limited by the tools available to precisely measure CO2 concentrations by remote sensing. Active sensing, using the Integrated Path Differential Absorption (IPDA) approach, permits measurements day and night, at all latitudes and seasons.
Most active sensors under development use a continuous-wave (CW) laser with the goal of making column integrated measurements. This approach is limited in that the topographical scattering target must be at a known distance (requiring an ancillary laser altimeter) and cannot distinguish the desired signals reflected from topography from those reflected from clouds or dense aerosol layers. There exists a critical need to develop energetic pulsed transmitter for use at 2μm to make accurate column-averaged measurements of CO2 from space, as well column and profile measurement of CO2 from ground and airborne platform.
The development of a high pulse energy 2-μm laser transmitter for high-precision CO2 measurements from space leverages years of NASA investment in solid-state laser technology. Under NASA Laser Risk Reduction Program, funded by Earth Science Technology Office, researchers at NASA Langley Research Center developed an injection seeded, high repetition rate, Q-switched Ho:YLF laser transmitter for CO2 Differential Absorption Lidar/IPDA (profile/column) measurements from ground and airborne platforms. This master-slave laser system has high optical-to-optical efficiency and seeding success rate. NASA LaRC's 2-micron pulsed laser transmitter possesses advantages over current passive and CW active sensors. First, the pulsed format provides a built-in means for determining range to the scattering target and effectively filtering out the scattering from thin clouds and aerosols, thus eliminating a source of measurement bias. Second, by concentrating the laser energy into a pulse, sufficient backscatter signal strength can be obtained from aerosol scattering rather than relying on a hard target at a known distance. Third, the absorption line at the 2.05 µm band is ideally suited for the CO2 concentration measurement. In particular, the weighting function of 2 µm is optimum for measurement in the lower troposphere where the sources and sinks of CO2 are located.
The planned laser transmitter development will lead to a Tm:Fiber pumped Ho:YLF laser transmitter capable of delivering 65 mJ at 50 Hz at on-line wavelength and 50 mJ at 50 Hz at off-line wavelength. The planned laser technology development and performance capabilities are a major step forward in the laser transmitter requirements called out in recent comprehensive system studies, e.g., the European Space Agency (ESA) exploration mission studies, A-SCOPE, for future CO2 column density measurements from space. The planned laser technology development is relevant to NASA's earth science priorities, such as NASA ASCENDS mission for space-based CO2 column density measurements. This presentation will provide an overview of the current status of laser transmitter development and describe future technology development to meet the transmitter requirement for a space-based column averaged measurement of CO2 concentration.

In 1963, Alliluyeva began a romance with Indian communist Brajesh Singh, whom she met when he visited Moscow. In 1965 Singh moved to Moscow to work as a translator, but the couple was forbidden to marry. When he died in 1966, Alliluyeva insisted on returning Singh's ashes to India. She stayed in New Delhi for several months before deciding to defect, leaving her two children behind. On 6 March 1967, she went to the U.S. embassy and announced her intention to seek political asylum, an event that stunned the world and provided a propaganda bonanza for the West.
Although Westerners anticipated that Alliluyeva would provide insights into the workings of the Kremlin hierarchy, she insisted that her father had kept her shut off from his political life. In her initial meetings with Western reporters, she did strongly denounce her father's cruelties. Alliluyeva then went to the United States, where she secured citizenship. In 1970 she married architect William Wesley Peters. Taking the name Lana Peters, she gave birth to a daughter, Olga, but this marriage also ended in divorce in 1971. Alliluyeva then lived a relatively sheltered life until she moved, with her American-born daughter, to Cambridge, England, in 1982. As with fellow dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Alliluyeva was first warmly received in the West but was viewed differently when she became critical of Western society.
In 1984, Alliluyeva returned to the Soviet Union, was granted citizenship, and settled in Tbilisi, Georgia. In 1986 she returned to the United States. Alliluyeva spent time in Britain in the 1990s and now lives in retirement in Wisconsin.

|Blockade of the neuropeptide Y Y2 receptor with the specific antagonist BIIE0246 attenuates the effect of endogenous and exogenous peptide YY(3-36) on food intake.
MedLine Citation:

|The gastrointestinal-derived hormone peptide YY (PYY) is released from intestinal L-cells post-prandially in proportion to calorie intake, and modulates food intake. Peripheral administration of PYY((3-36)) reduces food intake and body weight in rodents and suppresses appetite and food intake in humans. PYY((3-36)) is hypothesised to inhibit food intake via activation of the auto-inhibitory pre-synaptic neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y2 receptor (Y2R) present on arcuate (ARC) NPY neurons. We aimed to investigate the feeding effect of PYY((3-36)) following blockade of ARC Y2R, using the specific receptor antagonist BIIE0246, in the rat. We found that pre-treatment with BIIE0246 (1 nmol) into the ARC attenuated the reduction in feeding observed following intraperitoneal injection of PYY((3-36)) (7.5 nmol/kg) (0-1 h food intake: BIIE0246/PYY((3-36)): 3.8 +/- 0.4 g; vs. Vehicle/PYY((3-36)): 2.7 +/- 0.2 g; P < 0.05). We found plasma PYY levels to be maximal at 120 min post-initiation of feeding. On investigation of the endogenous role of the Y2R, we found that ARC administration of BIIE0246 alone significantly increased feeding in satiated rats compared to vehicle-injected controls (0-1 h food intake: BIIE0246: 4.1 +/- 0.7 g; vs. vehicle: 1.7 +/- 0.7 g; P < 0.05), suggesting that Y2R antagonism disinhibits the NPY neuron thus stimulating feeding in otherwise satiated rats. These studies suggest that the Y2R plays an important role in post-prandial satiety and provide further insight into the mechanisms of action of PYY((3-36)).

They're undergoing some reconstruction which made breakfast a little cramped, but it's nice that they're upgrading.
Was not acknowledged, nor did I receive points or a welcome package.
Love this area when working in Houston, I'll be back.

Wonderful staff and very friendly. Nice clean rooms with ample parking. The only blemish is that the pool access was not working properly and the door handle was broken. We had to get a staff member to open the door for us. Not a huge inconvenience, since they were so happy to do it. Would recommend this hotel to others coming to Houston.
Great place to stay

The overall experience of this facility was excellent. The management and workers were very friendly and attentive.

|Pyreburn Oil (10)
DescriptionI'm new to this gig. Very new. But ya know what? That gives me perspective!
These shaman buddies of mine have come upon somethin' great, but they're too single minded! They lean on the elements and they forget to make use of the common materials all around them.
In the ruins to the south, I saw those Twilight goons tote in barrels of flammable oil! They used it when they razed the town. I say we use it when we raze them.
I wonder what happens when you douse an elemental with that stuff. Jumbo-super-bonfire-elemental? I'm thinkin' so. We'll have to try.
Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Can you think of all the uses for this stuff? I definitely can't. But I can think of a lot, and I'm liking the possibilities.

Comments about Scott Stiletto Socks - Women's:
Super cute socks, the name Scott is inside of the heart so don't buy them if you have an ex-boyfriend names Scott! Also, I'm on the thinner side and they were a little tight around my calves, not to the point where they are unwearable just a little uncomfortable.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Gijzer Very friendly and safe family-run hostal. It`s not in the city center but easely reached by taxi for (no more) than 50 pesos one way. Make sure the driver knows where he goes. Once there you`ll enjoy the peace of not being in the city center. Food is good and cheap. Breaktfast and dinner. Small lokal shop is nearby. I will recommend this place very much. I`ll stay there again when I`m in Oaxaca.

jonathaneg Fantastic place, well maintained and cared for, and even somewhat idyllic. It was both calm and social at the same time, with a super friendly staff. The place is rather gorgeous, even. My only complaint is that the coffee was . . . well . . . typical Mexican coffee. They should offer gourmet coffee, like 5 pesos for a mug, or something.

Much of the time migraines aren't caused by anything except hereditary issues. The best thing to do is to work with your dr, and if he or she can't help you, ask for a referal to a headache spec/neurologist who can help quite a bit in most cases.View Thread
You buy it in sheets and then put them in water until they puff up. Then carefully cut between the rows and cut it into strips. Then get some handkerchiefs and roll the strips into them and freeze them. You can wrap them around your neck or head. Sometimes when I feel generally lowsy when I wake up even in the wintertime I put an ice wrap around my head and I feel better that day.
If you're getting a migraine wrap the ice wrap around your head and you might feel better. Not if you have a really bad one but on a "yucky" kind of day when you are ok to function.
They even have some dry ice ones but I'm not sure if that works the same. They sell the ice sheets at fairs but you can go to their website which I'm not going to put up.View Thread
The ice wrap is a strip of special polymer that doesn't leak which I soak in the sink until they puff up. Then I cut them into strips (they come in sheets) and wrap them in a bandana and freeze. I usually wear one around my neck and one around my head. It also helps my headaches even when I'm inside.View Thread
But you know, if they actually did a STUDY, and on a supplement or herb, that's refreshing because they aren't doing enough of those on that type of thing. The whole reason nobody knows whether something will help or not is because the Feds don't do studies on them. You could get one herb from one company and the same herb from another, and not be sure you got the same dose, or whether they picked it at the right time, etc.
I might go back and get the Co Q, and try it again if they did a study on it, hopefully it was double-blind.View Thread

Anyone know where you can get the GHDs they are using?
Rogue sells 6 different models, from 3 different makers. Prices range from $560-1075.
I hope you took the time to watch yesterday's video on the CrossFit initiatives in Kenya. CrossFit is more than a fitness company. CrossFit does more than program for fitness. CrossFit does more than promote fitness. Watch the video.
On to the WOD! A task specific WOD where we are given the work to be done and asked to do it as fast as possible. There are 4 movements done in order (one round), and the WOD asks for 3 rounds. If it was me and I was a Newbie, I'd surely be looking at that demo video with Kristan Clever (Hi Cleverhandz)!
Dumbell Squat Snatch 35lb. First of all, 35lb. is really a lot of weight for a one-arm DB snatch if this is a new movement. Practice with a trivial weight and then do the WOD with something light, say 15-20lb for men and 10-15 for women. The first set is with your right hand on a DB resting on the ground. In one movement you lift the DB from the ground while simultaneously dropping under it, finishing in a full squat with the DB held aloft and your elbow locked out. (That's right, someone just used the word "aloft" on a fitness blog) This is done 15 times before moving on to the sit-ups.
Once again, any Olympic lift, with a barbell, Kettlebell, or dumbbell is so complex that it is devilishly difficult to describe with words. Watch Kristan's video. Go to "Exercises and Demos" and search for DB Snatch. This is a really good exercise for strengthening the lateral stabilizers of your core. They're gonna feel weird!
After 15 one-arm DB Squat Snatches with your right arm move on to 15 GHD sit-ups. JUST KIDDING! You're a Newbie; doing GHD sit-ups in a WOD is gonna wreck you. Even if you are a really experienced CrossFitter, unless you regularly and routinely do GHD sit-ups you should NOT do them in this WOD for time. The possibility of localized muscle trauma and some really weird dissecting swelling fluid (do you have any idea what connects below to the space just in front of your abs?!) and even Rhabdo is much too high. Use an Abmat or substitute another type of sit-up.
From the sit-ups move to 15 one-arm Squat Snatches with your left arm. After you have finished those it's time for 15 Toes-to-Bar. We've done these this month, right? Frankly I can't remember—January gets kinda longish about now. Hang from your pull-up bar and swing your legs up so that your toes touch the bar. You can bend them and then kick, and you can kip any way you'd like.
Phew, made it through. Oh oh…it said 3 rounds! You do all of that 3 times before you hit "stop" on your stopwatch. This is one of those WOD's that makes experienced CrossFitters smile when folks say we don't do "Abs" or "Core", that we never work the lateral muscles. Tellin' ya, you'll get it after a few of those one-arm thingies!
Here you go then, CrossFit's version of working the core. 3-2-1…Go.
Did the Fight gone bad today since I missed it Friday because of work.
Box jumps 1&2 set 12inch 3 20

Scaled - 30# kettlebell sq snatches.
Scaled dumbbell squat snatches to 20lb dumbbells. Definitely noticed form decline on last round. Did butterfly sit-ups instead of GHD. Final time was 20:40. Definitely room for improvement.
Right arm snatches were a lot better (based on form) than the left. These ate up the majority of my time because of form issues. Should have went down in weight... instead I performed about 10-15 extra snatches with each arm so I could only count the really good ones. Total time of 21:55, no subs.
No ghd so did it on a ball with my feet jammed.
I now know what she means with the cramp in her hands.. lol
Loved the wod
14 kilos dummbell
No GHD so i did regular sit ups
12:55 rx
15# dumbbells. They were harder than I thought but not bad for the first time. Everything else rx
13:43... What a butt whooper!!!
sub'd 20# kettlebells for dumbbells, all else as rx'd
No dumbbells (or kettle bell) and no GHD. Have everything else. Any good substitution ideas that will work similar areas?

Michael Fall @29,
Which movements? Unfortunately I can't open the tri-screen of DBsnatch yet (I will after a software download) to compare with Kristan and Chad, but those GHD's and TTB's looked fine to me without the need to go back in time.
Got a couple of examples?
No dumbbells, did 35# kettlebell squat snatch instead.
subbed situps for GHD's and T2B
09min21 as rx'd
Scaled to power snatches, all the rest as Rx'ed. Same as last time.
24 seconds slower than last time.

2 reps 165 lb snatch emom for 20 min then wod rx 5:24
10:25 as Rx'd.

As I get better, these workouts are definitely getting tougher.
KTE subbed for T2B. Believe issue is with flexibility?
12:53 Rx'd
DBSS slow in 2nd & 3rd sets. GHD and T2B all unbroken.

As rx'd 12:40. This one sneaks up on you in the second round. Quads and abs!
Started out with 30# kb for squat snatch but was too much, & after first round went to 8# DB (only other grippable wt that I had). Rest as Rx'ed.
13.30 I tought it will be easier (dumbell snatch was hell)
First round done with 30# KB. Thus was a little too much for single handed squat snatch for me so switched to only other grippable weight I had, an 8# DB. All rest as RX'ed.'ed.

Sunday musings...
1) Horses. There is a love between a rider and a horse that is difficult for those of us who don't ride to understand. Very powerful.
2) Horsesh!t. Perhaps the ubiquity of this is why?! I don't think my shoes will EVER be clean again.
3) Reduction. My life is now reduced to little more than let the dogs out...let the dogs in...let the dogs out...
4) Delayed gratification. This is a game well-known to anyone who postpones real, post-educational employment. Doctors, lawyers, PhD's. I think there is a different sort of this for folks who serve in the military, whether or not they go on to school after they muster out.
Most folks who play this game intuitively get it without any assistance. While I enter yet another inning of this seemingly never-ending game I believe I am also about to learn what it is like to "coach" it.
5) Deprivation. "Eating healthy is too expensive." How often have you heard some version of that phrase. Whether it be Zone, Paleo, Whole 30, or just "stay out of the middle of the grocery store", this is uttered with some degree of exasperation and oppression with a kind of mind-numbing, self-fulfilling frequency.
How so? Per the folks at Whole Foods, regularly skewered for being too expensive (seriously, they sell fancy potatoes), on average we in America spend 7% of our disposable personal income--that's SEVEN--on food. 50 years ago that number was 16%. We now spend less than 1/2 of our after-tax income on food compared with what we spent 50 years ago.
And eating well is too expensive.
If we dig deeper into that stat alone we see that modern food production has decreased the cost of food relative to both income and inflation. The cost of producing food of all kinds has risen much more slowly than income. Why? Partly because junk carb-laden food is cheap. High-fructose corn syrup costs a fraction of grain sugar. Corn-fed protein with or without pharmaceuticals is grown faster and cheaper than grass-fed. Stuff like that. Less expensive to produce/incomes risen at a greater rate across the entire spectrum, top to bottom.
How then is it too expensive to eat a more healthy diet. We have 9% of our after-tax income to play with, right? Is some other necessity (shelter, transportation, medical care, etc) eating that up? What are we doing with that 9% that we can't find some of it to eat better? Ah, Grasshopper, now we begin to see. It's a 'Nando thing, superficial. It's not how healthy you are, it's how you look, or something like that.
Some stuff might be more expensive, but the seemingly obvious culprits are actually false targets (eg. healthcare which for this audience represents only a tiny % of new cost c/w 50 years ago because of insurance, govt. programs, etc.). Nope, it's how we CHOOSE to spend that freed-up 9% .
Think about that household in the 1960's or even the 70's. One car. One TV. One radio. Once purchased all data was free. A pair of shoes and a pair of boots. Sneaks if you were a jock. You didn't get your hair done if you were a guy, you got a haircut. You didn't get your acrylics touched up every 2 weeks; if you wanted long nails you grew 'em. Stuff like that.
Fast forward to today and think about the stuff you've acquired, stuff you are convinced you can't live without, stuff that costs money that you choose to spend every single day. The ratio of drivers to cars in a household is seldom less than 1.5/1. The ratio phones to people over the age of 10 is seldom less than 1/1. It's not enough to have a phone, or even a phone with an unlimited text plan, nope, it's gotta be a phone that will let you post your thoughts on today's weather in Bimini to FB. Right now, from anywhere. If you don't have Netflix available on each of the 4 flat-screen TV's in the house you are considered a Luddite.
Listen, I certainly am not saying that all that stuff isn't great, that it's not a ton of fun and really convenient (as I type on one of the Apple products that literally litter our household, through my WiFi network, in front of my LightBright lamp), or anything like that. What I most certainly AM saying, though, is that people who whine about how hard it is to afford to eat better almost always do so via a FB post from their iPhone 5 while sitting in the salon having their hair done, hungover from too much Bellevedere they consumed last night while noshing on Doritos smothered in Cheez-Wiz.
9 %. The stark reality is that we have let our things become more important than ourselves.

T2B was hardest.
33 pound dumbbell
13:40 (last time 13:10 with a ghetto rigged GHD)
Hoped for 12 minutes, but was even slower than last time. Not enough space in front of the pull-up bar made kipping T2B awkward. And maybe I wasn't recovered well enough from 5 hours of ski mountaineering yesterday.
Modified - 55# kettlebell snatches (no squat) for dumbbell squat snatches. Time - 11:24.
Hurt my foot playing ball on Sunday, so I had to modify this one. Kb snatches went okay; sometimes they flowed well, sometimes not. Unbroken on snatches until round 3 when forearms started to give out. GHDs felt fine, a little breathy. Toes-to-bar got hard, as I lost my kip in round 2.

15 min Could no do toes 2 hands (more like knees to hip level). had to transition from garage (snatch/situp/snatch) to basement so that added some time (need rest?). great 15 min workout though. this is why i love crossfit.
Dropped the weight to 25lbs. Had a lot of trouble with shoulder flexiblity and keeping the weight all the way above my head. Pretty awful form, but I'm not going to get better at them by not doing them, right?

My squats were about to level, not hip crease below knee but so it goes.

Active Questions
|Dating / 9:23 AM - Tuesday July 09, 2013
How long does it take you to get over a long term relationship?
How long has it taken you to get over a long term relationship? Does it change the type of person you would seek the next time?
- Asked by lasuz, Female, Who Cares?, Los Angeles, Retired
Wow, I've never seen such insightful answers to this. Especially nico76 - so right - sometimes the several-month relationships that are not quite yet over the honeymoon phase are the hardest to get over - you still are SO into the person, and you've spent just enough time with the person to really fall in love, but not enough time to see the deep, dark sides that would be a deal breaker.
- Response by over40dating, Female, 46-55
In only one particular case was it long and difficult to admit that somehow I was unsuccessful in maintaining an LT relationship. The lesson learned? One cannot control others, cannot manipulate feelings in others and cannot lose sight of the fact that one does not possess another person. It was years ago, but a terrific lesson in sociology and psychology which I have not forgotten over fifty years later.
- Response by rekkonball, A Guy Critical, Male, 66 or older, Retired
I would takeoff 6 months to a year.
- Response by ddkk, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 36-45, Philadelphia, Political / Government
It's been awhile since I've been in a long term one. Maybe because it took me a long time to get over it. It's not so much that I had to get over him. Things had fizzled out before we officially broke up. He's happy with someone else now, and I'm happy for him. I think it was more a matter of needing to reflect on what went wrong...why we chose each other in the first place, when it was clearly not a good fit...why we stayed together as long as we did...and what I should be doing differently. There were certain qualities about him that I really liked, and others that I discovered will never work for me. Since then, I've tried to view every guy I've met or dated as an individual, rather than comparing him to my ex. But I think I have a better idea than before of what works or doesn't work for me. It's still an ongoing learning process though.
- Response by uniquelyme2, Female, 46-55, Artist / Musician / Writer
It took me about 5 months to get over and get past my last girlfriend.
- Response by hopefulromantic47, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, 29-35, Teaching
You know what they say about the best way to get over a man....
- Response by hubbyochris, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 46-55, Cleveland, Executive
I usually give it a year or two and it has been more. I give myself enough time to lose that familiarity of the person. I like to be past all of the emotional upset and really back to myself again. I don't think that is effects the person I seek to be with. Basically its always the same. I find myself with musicians a lot for what ever reason but I am attracted to kindness, humor , men that like to adventure.
- Response by morningdust, Female, 56-65, Self-Employed
The only LTR I had to get over was thru death.It is some what the same. You have to learn to live with out him. I would have loved to find some one just like him.
- Response by frenchkiss49, Female, 66 or older, Tampa, Who Cares?
I was with a guy before I met my husband in 2001. We actually were together way back when I was 19, for 2 years. However I married someone else w/ my 1st marriage. After my first marriage
- Response by suzyscorp, Female, 46-55, Who Cares?
Actually many years...not the person per se ..but the following devestation that ensued as a result of it...like a pebble in a pond, the bad stuff kept going and going...
- Response by englishrose4945, Female, 66 or older, Miami, Alternative Medicine
Actually it depends. I've had one where it took me only a few weeks because I realized he was a jerk.
- Response by seductivepisces9, Female, 36-45, Who Cares?
I've only been in two relationships, each about 6 months apart. The first wasn't exactly long term, although it wasn't light dating, either -- it was about 9 months. I honestly wasn't over it when the next relationship came along, although the wanting her back part was over fairly quickly. I think it was about 6 months into the second relationship before I forgave my first girlfriend. The second relationship was 3 years. I proposed. She freaked out and hasn't spoken to me since. That was February last year. It doesn't hurt anymore, but there's still no one else I'd rather be with.
- Response by ryanthegreatarj, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 26-28, Student
I would say 25%-35% as long as you dated... to get fully over (IF you do not meet someone else).
- Response by wakeforester, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 36-45
when i fall i fall hard...it takes me forever!
- Response by jamiesangel777, Female, Who Cares?, Los Angeles, Other Profession
If you loved them a long time. If you didn't not so long.
- Response by hands, A Creative, Male, 46-55, Hong Kong, Who Cares?

Oh hes coming along, any day now... maybe this game, maybe that game...
THen I read the following and had to laugh... Doc talking about Shaqs return:
"I think right now there's a chance," said Rivers. "He's feeling a lot better. We'll see."
Asked if O'Neal had been doing much running, Rivers said, "About as much as you and I have been running, and I'm going to take a guess and say that's very little."Let me digest this for a moment.... theres a chance hes back... yesterday I read he may play game 2 but for sure game 3..... and now youre telling me hes not even running??? I mean, if its so fragile that youre afraid to have him even run, how the heck can there be any anticipation he may play in the next day or so???
C's brass have been using this schtick for too long.... same as they did with KG.. Just wish they would ufts (in reverse) with the tease

Magdalen B. "Mag" Kasper, 89, of Morse, died peacefully with her family at her side on Friday, March 14, 2014 at Solon Nursing & Rehab Center.
Visitation will be Tuesday from 3:00 to 7:00 pm at Lensing Funeral & Cremation Service in Iowa City. A rosary will begin at 3:00 pm. Mass of Christian Burial will begin at 10:30 am Wednesday at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Solon. Reverend James Vrba will officiate.
Burial will follow at St. Joseph's Cemetery in Iowa City.
Memorials may be directed to The Morse Community Club, St. Mary's Church in Solon or The Mercy Foundation - The Legacy Award for Outstanding Nursing Care.

Mag actively served others in her many pursuits - the farm, her garden, her family and her church. Mag and John always enjoyed their trips to the northwoods and had wintered in Port Aransas, Texas for several years. Her family lovingly remembers her as the "Energizer Bunny". She made the greatest pancakes but overcooked the steaks.

Nastiest Lawsuits in Country Music
The music business is a high-stakes, high-risk venture, and it's not unusual for artists to wind up in court to defend their interests, as we'll see in this gallery of the nastiest country music lawsuits.
The music business is a high-stakes, high-risk venture, and it's not unusual for artists to wind up in court to defend their interests, as we'll see in this gallery of the nastiest country music lawsuits.
When Kellie Pickler had the chance to perform with Kenny Rogers last year on Nashville's historic Ryman stage, the decision was easy.
In the 98 Country Classic Bonus this week, hits from 1977 from Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Ronnie Milsap, Waylon Jennings and Glen Campbell.
Another country legend has stepped up to take on the ALS ice bucket challenge. Although Kenny Rogers wanted to donate instead of doing the actual challenge, his kids gave him a big, cold surprise!
Forget green lizards -- Geico is using country superstar Kenny Rogers to help sell their insurance, and they're doing it in a really hilarious way.
Kenny Rogers is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, successful in both pop and country, and a legend in his own right. But, he wasn't always the confident superstar fans know today.
Performances from Kenny Rogers and Corey Smith, a surprise from one-third of Lady Antebellum, and an all-star version of 'Wagon Wheel' were amongst the many highlights at Darius Rucker's fifth annual charity concert for St. Jude on Monday night (June 2).
Kenny Rogers had cancer cells removed from his face on Wednesday (May 14).
Kenny Rogers was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2013, calling it the high point of his career. Now, the famed museum is brightening up his 2014 by honoring the singer with his own exhibit.
Due to an untimely bout of sickness, Kenny Rogers has canceled his Valentine's Day performances with the Nashville Symphony, scheduled for this weekend.
Just when you think this little dude is through with his interpretation of the 'The Gambler' by Kenny Rogers, he breaks into the next verse and another round of the chorus. That's pretty good for a kid so young. There are a lot of life lessons to be learned from this hit, and little Liam seems to have a handle on them at a young age.
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton are ending the year with their third Grammy nomination. The duo are nominated at the 2014 Grammys for their song 'You Can't Make Old Friends' and are feeling the excitement as they look toward a potential win.

How to Get Good Credit at a Young Age
Three Parts:Starting YoungUnderstanding CreditBuilding Credit
Having good credit can open the door to many financial possibilities, such as purchasing a home or car at a low interest rate or receiving a larger bank loan. These benefits are great in building personal wealth and becoming financially independent. For this reason, it would be smart to follow certain steps to get good credit at a young age. Doing so will teach you how to be financially responsible and afford you more time to establish a high credit rating.
Part 1 of 3: Starting Young
1Understand what makes for a good credit score. A credit score is a measure of how responsible you are with credit. Do you pay your bills quickly and in full, or do you just pay the monthly minimum, and late at that? If you fit into the first category, you'll probably have a good credit score, and if you're in the second category, you'll probably have a not-so-good credit score.
- What makes up your credit score? Here's a breakdown of all the factors that go into spitting out a number:
- Payment history — 35%. How often do you pay your bills on time? Late payments hurt your score.
- Debt usage — 30%. How much debt do you have in relation to your overall limit? Low debt and high limits is what you're after.
- Credit age — 15%. How long have you been establishing your credit? The longer the better.
- Account mix — 10%. How many accounts or lines of credit do you have open? The more the better.
- Inquiries — 10%. How often do you apply for new credit? Too many inquiries can hurt your score.
- What makes up your credit score? Here's a breakdown of all the factors that go into spitting out a number:
2If you haven't already opened a checking or savings account, open one. Ask your parents to help you set up your own bank account if you're younger than 18. In today's digital world, it's very hard to maintain good credit and pay off credit cards without the help of a bank account.
- Open both a savings account and a checking account. Put money that you want to save for a rainy day or for investment into the savings account. Put money that you'll use to pay off your credit card or other debt into the checking account.
3If you haven't already, apply for a credit card. If you're younger than 18, have a talk with your parents about co-signing. (You can't apply for a credit card yourself if you're under 18.) Understand a few things about your credit card before you use it.
- You need to have a steady source of income to qualify for a credit card. You parents will be able to apply and then add you as an authorized user, but if you're applying on your own, a monthly allowance from your parents doesn't count!
- If your parents act as co-signers on your account, they'll be responsible for monthly payments. You'll be responsible, too, but any bad decisions will affect them. Understand that before you go on a vicious spending spree and max out your credit card.
- Use your credit card for things you can afford, not for the things you can't. If you want to establish good credit, use your credit card only when you have the cash to pay off your debt. Otherwise, your credit ship will slowly start sinking.
4Apply for a loan on a car. This may require your parents becoming co-signers (and you would have to be 18), but if you have proven yourself to be responsible, your parents should be happy to oblige. Depending on where you live, you may have to hold car insurance and then provide various proofs of identification and income.
- Don't just buy a car because you feel you need to establish good credit. If you're going to buy a car and want to finance it with a loan, this is a decent option. Having another line of credit open will help your score if you repay the loan.
- But know, too, that paying a loan on something like a car will end up being more expensive in the long run than paying for the car with cash. You'll be paying interest payments.
5Use your parents' good credit to give you a boost. Ask your parents to help you build good credit early. This can be done by having them transfer some household bills into your name. The more bills you pay on time and in full, the better your credit score will be in the long run.
- You don't even need to pay for the bills yourself. Have your parents transfer the money into your account and let you pay off the bills.
Part 2 of 3: Understanding Credit
1Understand your credit card limit. Your limit is the maximum amount of money that you can charge to your credit card. As a young person, your limit will probably hover anywhere from $300 to $2,000.
- Don't get sucked into spending lots of money just because you have a high limit. Your limit is something you should be afraid of, not mesmerized by. You should never charge your card for the limit unless it's an emergency.
2Know about monthly payments. If you don't use your credit card during a month, you won't have to make payments on it. But if you do use your credit card, you'll have three options of how to pay back the money. You can pay the balance in full, you can pay an amount smaller than the balance, or you can pay the monthly minimum. The monthly minimum is the amount that you're forced to pay or you'll be dinged with a late payment. Only paying the monthly minimum will make your credit score worse.
3Know that you can pay interest on your credit card. Interest is a small fee that the lender charges you for the privilege of borrowing money. High interest rates are bad. If your credit card comes with a 10% interest rate and you charge your card for $500, you could be hit with $50 in interest charges and still have to pay back $500. You got $500, but you had to pay $550. That's not a great deal.
- Usually, if you don't pay your full balance, your interest rate payments will start kicking in on the amount that you haven't paid. So, if you balance is $500 and you pay off $250, check your interest rate. If your yearly interest rate is 12%, you're going to pay 1% each month: $500 - $250 = $250 x .01 = $2.5 for that month.
- Look for a low-APR card. APR stands for annual percentage rate. It's the interest rate associated with the card (what was discussed above). If your APR is 10% and you charge $1,000 on your card, you'll have to pay $1,000 x .10 = $100 in interest on your card. That's $1,100 for the privilege of spending $1,000.
4Know your credit utilization. Credit utilization is a fancy term that's actually pretty easy to understand. Also called debt to limit ratio, it's a relation of how much debt you owe to how much total debt you can carry. For credit cards, you want a low credit utilization.
- If you have $300 of debt on your credit card and your total limit is $600, you get your credit utilization by dividing your debt with your limit. 300 ÷ 600 = .5 = 50%. 50% is a pretty high credit utilization.
- If you have $100 of debt on your credit card and your total limit is $1,000, your credit utilization would be 100 ÷ 1,000 = .10 = 10%. 10% is a great credit utilization percentage.
- A really good credit utilization is about 10%, but the average credit utilization is anywhere from 25% - 35%. If you're in that range, you're doing good.
5Check your credit score once a year for free. Don't be scared of your credit score. You can check it online for free once a year from any one of the three major credit bureaus, TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian. Know that you'll have three credit scores out there, with each one being possibly different.Ad
Part 3 of 3: Building Credit
1Use your credit card only for items that you can afford. If you use your credit card to purchase things you can't afford, you'll have trouble paying off your credit card balance. If you have trouble paying off your credit card balance, your credit score will go down. If you pay off your balance in full every month, you'll have a great credit score.
2Pay off your credit card on time every month. Memorize the due date for your card, and always pay at least part of your bill before that date. Payment due dates are usually a few days after the beginning of the month, but check your credit card statement to be sure. A late payment will hurt your credit score.
3Wait for a little bit before enrolling in two credit cards. One way to increase your credit score is to have two cards and only use one regularly. There are advantages and disadvantages to this strategy.
- Advantage: Your total credit limit goes up. If you have one card with a limit of $600, your total credit limit is $600. But if you have two credit cards, each with a limit of $600, your total credit limit is $1,200. As we learned earlier, a higher limit will lower your credit utilization, giving you a better credit score.
- Disadvantage: If you haven't established good credit yet, your credit score will take a hit if you apply for a second card too soon.[1] Wait a year or two before applying for a second card. When you do apply, only use that credit card for small purchases.
4Use your loyalty as a bargaining chip. If you happened to forget about a payment and have that looming on your credit score, try to use your loyalty to the credit card company in order to have that late payment forgiven.[2] You'll usually need to submit a request in writing, but it can't hurt to try.
5Dispute any charges that aren't accurate. Sometimes, there'll be a mix up with the credit card company and you'll be charged or penalized for something you didn't buy or wasn't your fault. In these instances, you'll need to be very careful about disputing charges you're not to blame for.
- Call up the small credit and collection agencies on your credit report and calmly ask them to prove you and your address were in fact associated with defaulted payments. Smaller companies are going to have a tough time providing such details, making it easier for it to be removed from your report.
- Do the same for companies that have merged or closed down — if the information about you cannot be verified, you can request for it to be removed and make your credit score better almost instantly.

- Understand that you won't be able to get a great credit score just starting off. You'll need to use credit and loans responsibly for 7 years before your history starts counting for you.
