text: I followed the tutorial on the developer.android.com site. The first one, about creating my first application. I finished the tutorial and the app worked fine. However, for some reason, the program now crashes every time I start it. I get the message in quotes from the title. Anyone know what can cause this?

Nexus Plans
by, 04-27-2011 at 05:01 PM (6956 Views)
Hey guys hope all is well. I have a huge plan that would fix the Nexus. This is a good plan because it ends the stable with a bang and allows them to go their separate ways which is what we all want.
Now lets dicuss the issues with the Nexus
1. They were jobbed out
The WWE allowed Cena to single handedly take them out and move on with his career. Also creative let Orton punt kick one Nexus member week by week. How can they be dominant if they can't even hold off two people.
2. Too many extras
The Original Nexus was absolutely amazing. Danielson, Heath Slater, Wade Barrett, Skip, Darren Young, David Otunga, Justin Gabriel and Michael Tarver. They are average in the ring but are very entertaining and I loved them.
Now they've added MM, Husky, fake-Batista and its very played out
3. The Corre
Horrible, enough said.
So here's my grand idea that would shake the "Universe" Up.
Have the Raw GM put an end to both the Nexus & the Corre. Keep them off television for about 6 months. Keep Danielson on television because remember he disassociated himself with them.
Have Danielson get attacked randomly by Sheamus, Ezekiel Jackson, Mark Henry, Kane, The Big Show, Husky Harris, fake-Batista & The Matermind CM PUNK.
These wrestler tie into feuding with the Nexus because Punk is their former leader, Kane & The Big Show took the tag belts from Slater and Gabriel so this time Show & Kane are heels, Sheamus was one of the original people the Nexus first attacked, HH and fake-Batista were with the New Nexus, Exekiel Jackson was a Corre member and Cm Punk was the first person the Original Nexus attacked and the former leader of the New Nexus
The reason for their brutal attack can be because Danielson gets alot of attention because he's wrestled over the world. They can say also that they earned their spot from being tough. They could also just be bullying Danielson because he's a small guy and they all are huge.
So basically this goes on for weeks and a week before Summerslam, Danielson challenges them to an 8 on 8 elimination tag match. They wonder who his partners will be and out of nowhere..."WE WALK ALONE FROM THE UNKNOWN".......
OUT COMES WADE, GABRIEL, DARREN, SKIP, TARVER, OTUNGA, and SLATER
They charge the ring and take out the bad guys and then have their match the following week at Summerslam.
At Summerslam, allow the Nexus to go over in this one to help them out. After they win, have them disband and go their own direction. It will give guys like Gabriel, Slater and whom I consider a future star, Michael Tarver a chance to be pushed as well. This will put them over and the Nexus mess can be over.
This will send a positive message to the parents and the kids. Eventhough we hate PG Wrestling, we can all agree that bullying is wrong.
Imagine what the kids and the parents will think when they see the biggest former bullies(The Nexus) come together to take out the other bullies. This shows that even bullies can have a change of heart and do whats right...
Ok maybe that was a bit corny but I would love to see the Nexus....excuse me THE ORIGINAL NEXUS have one more run but as a face.
Thanks for reading and please leave feedback

Forty years ago, Ed and I became good friends. I was serving an inner-city parish in a changing neighborhood and Ed was a Redemptorist priest serving the same community. Along with the Lutherans, Ed and I developed an ecumenical outreach ministry for neighborhood children and youth. This ministry became a beacon of hope. We both understood that appearances as well as actual actions can make all the difference in terms of effectiveness. That's when Ed found himself in a dilemma.
Along with Ed, two other clerics served his parish. Each of them needed a vehicle. They devised an inclusive vehicular program. They leased one Ford, one Chevrolet, one Plymouth. All three were stripped down models. No wheel covers, just dinky hubcaps like cop cars. No radio, no air conditioning, cheap vinyl upholstering. Basic transportation. The cars got them where they needed to go and demonstrated the appropriate humility expected of clergy who, along with the vows of celibacy and obedience, promised to live in poverty.
One day Ed told me their whole car thing was falling apart. The auto dealers from whom they leased these plain Jane models informed them they couldn't afford to lease those cheap cars to them anymore. Here was the problem: At the end of the lease period it was impossible to sell these cars. Their car-buying customers wanted better-equipped models. The dealers said, "Here's what we will do. We will lease you a fully equipped model for less money than you are now paying for these cheap things."
Now Ed and his fellow clerics found themselves on the spot. I just love this. They decided to spend more money to continue leasing the ugly, stripped-down models. Mind you, humility doesn't come cheap. They decided that appearances mattered more than the substance. They feared that if the poor they served saw them driving a fancy car, it would create an impression that they were living high on the hog. There would be no second chance to make a first impression. The had to spend a lot of money to look cheap.
So now the state airplane fleet has been grounded. The reason the fleet exists is because it is a proven time and money saver for the state. Florida is huge and Tallahassee is inconveniently located in terms of population centers. When three or four state employees travel in one airplane the cost is less than for all to fly by commercial carriers. The efficient use of time and financial resources make owning the state air fleet a no-brainer.
Except for appearances.
So it looks like this is a clash between cash and flash. Florida will experience the kind of financial loss Alaska did when then-Gov. Palin put the state plane on e-Bay. It was eventually sold at a huge loss to the state; but, hey, what does fiscal prudence matter when you can maintain appearances?
Florida will ignore the cash and go for the flash. For mere appearance's sake, efficiency and effectiveness will be sacrificed. Travel-weary state workers will be compelled to spend useless hours motoring along mind-numbing Florida highways.
The whole purpose behind this scheme is to please the antigovernment, antitax mob by punishing public servants. And hang the expense.

Addressing senior executives from both client and agency businesses, Hayward set the tone of the peer-to-peer style of the event, noting, "today we are all pupils and we are all teachers".
The leader of JWT, which this year launched Brand Toys characters ranked on Millward Brown's BrandZ, warned marketers against following the safe path of the known and to explore new opportunities.
Hayward said: "People talk to me about marginal gains, incremental gain, doing the same thing only better – and I find that deeply disappointing and depressing.
"If you look at our role in the world today, what the world needs more than anything else today is brands making, big, big moves."
Hayward is chairing the first day of BrandMAX, which aims to be a "collective rethink" by way of a series of keynote speakers, workshops and hub sessions taking place over the next two days.
Noting how brands outside the existing establishment appear to be more playful than those within it, Hayward said: "I would argue it is almost the moral obligation of marketers to be thinking big and thinking fast.
"To really transform the brands that they're working on and attack them with more ambition.
"There are so many opportunities. It feels to me that while we have some fantastic case histories … the best is still yet to come.
"I think Andy Fennell of Diageo used the phrase, 'the Golden Age of Marketing is about to hit us' and I think he's absolutely right."
Other speakers at BrandMAX today include: MediaLink's chairman Michael Kassan; Tourism Queensland's Steve McRoberts; SapientNitro's Paul Bennett; VCCP's Charles Vallance; BMW's Richard Hudson; Nike's Ed Elworthy; Wieden+Kennedy's Neil Christie; Anomaly's Carl Johnson; Expedia's Gurmej Bahia; Walkers' Miranda Sambles; AMV BBDO's Adam Tucker; and John Lewis Partnership's Andy Street.
Later tonight, BrandMAX delegates will attend a gala dinner to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Brand Republic and the opening of Brand Republic's Hall of Fame, which will celebrate the brands, individuals and businesses that have innovated and succeeded in the past decade.
Haymarket's Brand Republic Group includes Brand Republic, Marketing, Campaign, PR Week and Media Week.

5 Most Expensive Styles Your Closet Aspires
Coco Chanel famously said, "Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It's the opposite of vulgarity." I couldn't agree more.
Life without aspiration and luxury is boring and oh-so-bland. While indulgence in all things fine may be a little hard to fulfil, aspiration isn't. Besides, don't most indulgences begin as aspirations anyway?
Keeping that in mind, MensXP presents a wardrobe that'll give a billionaire some serious blushes. Have a cool million to spare, anyone?

New York City Prysm said Tuesday that American Eagle Outfitters has chosen Prysm's freeform display solution to transform its new flagship store in the SoHo of New York City.
The American Eagle Outfitters store is the first installation of the Prysm Laser Phosphor Display solution, which incorporates high-definition stackable display building blocks.
Multiple displays, each standing 7 ft. tall, are arranged across the three-story, 24,000-sq.-ft. retail space. Three columns in the main entrance work as both window displays and in-store branding. Four columns are presented at the escalator gateways inviting customers to make the transition from each level of the store.
Prysm said its display solution is made up of four key components: One or more display building blocks, image processor, user-friendly set-up and remote-monitoring software, and flexible frame options.
At the core of the Prysm LPD display solution is a 25-inch diagonal building block. Solid-state lasers deliver brilliant image quality, which is viewable from nearly a 180-degree angle and uses up to 75% less power than traditional backlit or projection technology-based products, according to Prysm.

Celebrating the Journey is where you begin living your life.
For a few hours Danny Boyle put on a celebration of Britain before the world at the London Olympics Opening Ceremony. During those few hours through music, dance and theater Britain remembered who it was. As the days, the weeks, pass at the end of the Olympics, like a dream Britain will forget who it was.
Individual or nation is neither an event, or a list of facts in a book, but a living experience, a journey of becoming through the doing.
Put it another way, the sprint king Usain Bolt, remembers who he is because he is celebrating his journey as a sprinter through the experience of doing every moment, every day. Usain Bolt is in a daily state of becoming through the participation of his sport of sprinting; he is the sum of all those world records, medals and victories. Bolt celebrates who he is, and what he is by the active daily participation in his journey of sprinting.
I purchased the paper weight "Celebrate the Journey" to remind myself that the pursuit of my dreams is like an ongoing journey of becoming, and its celebration is through the active living of that dream through the doing every moment of every day.

'Bones' episode bumped after massacre
UPI reports the Fox network pulled Wednesday's new episode of Bones, saying its story was not suitable after this week's massacre at Virginia Tech. The episode was to center on the discovery of human remains on a college campus, a storyline that is obviously inappropriate to air at this time, E! News says. "Out of sensitivity to the victims and families touched by this senseless tragedy, we felt the change was appropriate," a Fox spokesperson said. A repeat will air in the show's time slot.

SINGAPORE and HAMILTON, Bermuda, August 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
AziPac Limited ("AziPac"), the Seacrest Capital Group backed E&P company focussed on offshore exploration in the Asia Pacific and Bay of Bengal regions, is pleased to announce the acquisition of a 25% interest in Block 127 PSC, offshore Vietnam.
AziPac, through its subsidiary Azimuth Vietnam Limited, has signed a farm-in agreement with Mitra Energy Ltd. ("Mitra"), the operator, for a 25% participating interest in Block 127 PSC, offshore Vietnam. As part of the deal, AziPac will pay a working interest share of the approved past costs and carry part of Mitra's costs of acquisition and processing of a 3D seismic survey, scheduled to be acquired in the second half of 2014. Acquisition of the 3D survey will complete the work programme obligations for the current Exploration Phase which expires on 24 May, 2016. Block 127 is located in the Phu Khanh Basin, off the SE coast of Vietnam. The basin remains relatively underexplored and recent 2D seismic confirms the potential of the basin in terms of prospectivity.
Upon completion of the farm-in, the participating interests in the PSC will be as follows:
Block 127 PSC Mitra Energy (Vietnam Phu Khanh) Pte Ltd 75% Azimuth Vietnam Limited 25%
This farm-in remains subject to the approval of Petrovietnam and the Government of Vietnam.
Frank Inouye, Managing Director of AziPac, commented:
'We are very pleased to have acquired an interest in this highly prospective licence in one of the most exciting hydrocarbon exploration provinces in the world. Vietnam has experienced a renaissance in E&P activity recently and we look forward to working with Mitra Energy to fully evaluate this block.
Block 127 is the second asset AziPac has acquired since we created the company earlier this year. Along with our interest in the Bone PSC in Indonesia, we have what we believe to be a solid platform for future growth in the region.'
Notes to Editors:
Seacrest Capital Group is a leading energy investor specialising in offshore exploration, leveraging its proprietary assets and relationships to build a diversified, global portfolio of regionally focussed oil and gas exploration companies. Since 2011, Seacrest Capital Group has invested in a number of successful start-ups in the United Kingdom and Norwegian North Sea, West Africa, South America, Ireland and South East Asia. As a result of Seacrest's support, AziPac is in a strong position to take advantage of and build on further opportunities as they arise in the offshore Asia Pacific and Bay of Bengal regions.

Chipotle celebrates 20th anniversary with 'Adventurrito' treasure hunt. (Photo: Business Wire)Over the course of the first 19 days of the contest, Chipotle will be giving away free burritos for a year (that's one burrito a week for 52 weeks) to 20 contestants each day. On the last day of the contest, the first 20 players who finish the puzzle first will be awarded the Grand Prize of free burritos for 20 years (that's one burrito a week for the next 20 years). If you're counting, that's 21,788 free burritos in total, enough burritos to feed one person for 419 years. Beginning on Chipotle's actual anniversary, July 13, 2013, and continuing for 19 days, Chipotle will unlock a daily puzzle at 20:20 MTN time each evening at Adventurrito.com. Once the puzzle is unlocked, players who attempt to answer the puzzle before 20:20 MTN time on the following day will be entered into a daily lottery to win a year of free meals at Chipotle (20 lucky winners will be selected each day). If a player has answered all of the 19 daily puzzles correctly by 20:20 MTN time on Thursday, August 1, the 20 th puzzle will be unlocked and the player will have a chance to solve the puzzle and win the grand prize.

- 1 large head garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided use
- 1/2 to 1 cup matzo cake meal (see cook's notes)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 5 pounds beef brisket
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 3 cups dry red wine (a whole bottle to you and me)
- 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
- 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
- 1/2 cup Asian Duck Sauce (see cook's notes)
- 3 dried bay leaves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 quart chicken stock (preferably homemade)
Cook's notes: After Passover, flour may be substituted for matzo cake meal. If kosher-for-Passover duck sauce is unavailable, substitute with apricot jam.
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Roast garlic: Slice off top of garlic head to expose all cloves. Place garlic on a square of aluminum foil, and pour 1 tablespoon of the oil over exposed cloves. Twist foil tight, and roast for 40 minutes. Open foil and let garlic cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 325 degrees.
3. Meanwhile, sprinkle brisket on both sides with salt and pepper and liberally with matzo cake meal, shaking off any excess.
4. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large covered casserole or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add brisket and sear, turning often, until well browned, about 6 to 8 minutes per side.
5. Transfer to a platter and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat. (I usually have nothing to pour off.) Add onions, reduce heat to medium and sauté, stirring often, until golden, about 10 minutes.
6. Pour in wine and stir to pick up any browned bits on bottom of casserole. Stir in tomato paste, onion soup mix, duck sauce and add bay leaves and thyme. Squeeze roasted garlic into the pot. Discard paper from garlic.
7. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring often, for a minute or two. Pour in the chicken stock and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and add brisket. Cover tightly with foil, then cover pot. Transfer to lower third of oven and cook until meat is firm but not quite done (about 3 hours).
8. Remove pot from oven. Transfer meat to a cutting board and allow to cool 15 minutes.
9. Meanwhile remove and discard bay leaves. With a slotted spoon or small strainer, transfer about 3/4 of onions with any chunks of garlic into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour mixture back into pot. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary.
10. Slice meat. Transfer slices back to pot and continue cooking until tender (about 1 hour longer).
11. Cool and refrigerate overnight. Remove as much fat as possible. Reheat and serve.

LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins is the Nintendo 3DS prequel to the Wii U title, LEGO City Undercover (click here to read that review), and tells that tale of how our hero, Chase McCain, first met his nemesis, Rex Fury. Can this new edition hold its own or will it be left to gather dust?
As the prequel to LEGO City Undercover, this new edition goes back to the start of Chase McCain's career as a police officer in LEGO City and are joined again by the same characters, such as Chief Gleeson and Deputy Dunby. To get you started, you are tasked with running errands, helping citizens and solving small crimes which soon leads to taking down gangs and tracking the masked villain, Rex Fury. It takes a while for the game to get some traction and actually get fun but even then I felt like a child who had to have a parent hold their hand to cross the street. There was markers telling you where to go, arrows telling you where to use items and a trail of coins leading you to a specific place to go.
There was also a lack of talking scenes; during missions it was all down to text conversations which seemed to linger on forever, but the scenes with voices were great, riddled with cheesy jokes and puns to make you giggle. All though I did enjoy the general story, I did not like the instructions introducing you to the controls and the usage of, often they came far too late or just were not present, leaving you to figure it out on your own.
Running through the streets as Chase with the circle pad was great, I loved diving round corners and running down criminals as it was just so smooth and simple but the same can not be said for the driving. Most of the cars available were too fast for the main traffic, forcing you to dive in and out or the other cars and if you hit a vehicle then controls seems to go haywire, right becomes left and left becomes right or just completely ignoring what you want to do all together. At one point I was so annoyed I just ran across the map instead of dealing with it and if I was having so much trouble with it, I can't help but think how younger players would handle the difficulty. One thing the younger audience would find easy is the fighting, I would often just mash Y and zone out until it was over, however, I did enjoy some of the finishing moves, there was a wide range and they were varied so you did not see the same again and again.
What I liked most about this game was the style, it is so bright and stylish, even though the maps were so big, I found it easy to find my way about as there was not the same two building and every street is different from the last, keeping things fresh. Even though everything is built out of LEGO, as is the usual for LEGO games, everything felt well put together and well designed. From the start and all the way to the finish, you are always kept amused with movie references, funny cut scenes and brilliant jokes.
To sum up
It seems that for every good point, there are two or three bad little points, but LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins is a good little game for people who wants to sit back, relax and enjoy a LEGO game and kids who want an easy game. Even though it is riddled with technical issues, my biggest problem is that it lacks the personality that it is trying to hard to prove is there.

"Beauty and the Beast" opens Tuesday at Costa Mesa's Segerstrom Hall, and the national touring production marks the 20th anniversary of the show, whose spectacularly successful 1994-2007 Broadway run was Disney's triumphant musical-theater debut. That led to a string of hits from its new entertainment division, Disney Theatrical Group, including "The Lion King," "Aida" and "Mary Poppins."
From our vantage point, the transformation of Disney movies into musicals seems as natural and inevitable as the company's move into full-length animated films back in the 1930s. But like that development, Disney's rise as a producer of big-budget theatrical ventures was far from a sure thing; indeed, the company wasn't initially enthusiastic about the prospect.
Rob Roth, who directed both the original Broadway production of "Beauty and the Beast" and the current touring version, was working on live shows in Disneyland when an idea struck him: his company should produce a show on Broadway.
"I was only in my 20s but we had done a number of large-scale shows in Disneyland," Roth said. "We went to Michael Eisner (Disney's CEO at the time) and said, 'We should be on Broadway.'"
Eisner wasn't so sure, Roth recalled. "He said, 'I personally want to do it but it's a bad idea for the company. It's so hard to make money in musicals, and so many shows flop.'"
But his boss didn't close the door completely, Roth said. "He told us, 'Keep working and ask me again.' We kept asking Michael. Finally he said, 'If you were going to do a show, what would you do?' We said, 'Mary Poppins.' He told us, 'OK, go away and start developing it.'"
Roth and his colleagues were only about 10 days into the project when the movie version of "Beauty and the Beast" opened in 1991.
"We were floored. That weekend, Eisner came to Disneyland to see a rehearsal of a rock 'n' roll version of 'The Nutcracker' that I was working on. When he saw me he asked, 'Have you seen "Beauty and the Beast" yet?' We said we loved it. He said, 'I think that's the one (for Broadway development). Stop working on "Mary Poppins."' We started right away."
The show that changed everything
The original production's cast included Seal Beach native Susan Egan as Belle, the bookish heroine. Surprisingly, it wasn't a part she coveted.
"I thought, 'I'm not the prettiest girl in the village. I have spiky red hair and freckles. And I was a total Sondheim snob. I thought, 'They're going to put a cartoon on stage?'
"My agent told me to shut up. He said, 'You never know what's going to happen.' Thank God I listened."
Besides Egan's Tony-nominated performance, critics and audiences loved the show's imaginative costumes, especially the household objects from the Beast's castle that magically come to life. Costume designer Ann Hould-Ward won a Tony for her efforts. She thinks her whimsical costumes for the 1987 Stephen Sondheim-George Lapine musical "Into the Woods" got the attention of Disney.
"They probably thought, 'She's done fairy tale stuff before reasonably successfully.' 'Into the Woods' was a re-interpretation of characters that are largely from graphic illustrations in fairy tales."
Hould-Ward spent a lot of time talking to the creative team behind the Disney film. "It had been an incredibly successful movie. Therefore, I knew I would disappoint people if we didn't achieve the same thing."
As Hould-Ward toiled to make candlesticks, clocks and teacups meld with performers, she experimented endlessly; choreographer Matt West and the actors gave her valuable advice. (The costumes, as well as other design elements, have been substantially altered for the current production to take advantage of new stagecraft technologies, Hould-Ward and Roth revealed.)
Through it all, Disney was patient and supportive, the designer said. "They were most receptive and responsive throughout the process. They knew their product from a commercial point of view and trusted me on the artistic end. They didn't interfere at all."
Roth said Eisner intervened just once during the design and rehearsal phase.
"At the end I wanted the footstool to turn into a dog which would run onstage. I thought it was going to be great; I started auditioning dogs. Michael called me and said, 'I've been thinking about this. Dogs and cats can't act. When they appear on stage they'll pull you out of the emotional reality of the show.'
"He was right. And on everything else, he trusted me. He was very happy with the result, and so was I."
Audience and critics were too. "Beauty and the Beast" ran for almost 5,500 performances, making it the eighth-longest-running production in Broadway history.
It seems surprising now, but Broadway was not initially receptive to Disney's presence, Egan said.
"From the beginning (Disney) wanted to do things their own way. They didn't need (Broadway producers') help or their financing. That caused some resentment."
But the show's success proved that Disney's model was not only viable but a winner, Egan noted.
"Every movie studio came to Broadway after that with their source material and their money. The theater scene became revitalized. We attracted lots of families – excited kids and parents who had never been to the theater before."
Eisner soon brokered a deal to renovate a tattered venue in Times Square, which ushered in a period of renewal for the faded neighborhood and for Broadway theater. "Our show really changed everything," Egan said.

It's easy to talk intellectually about parenting challenges. It's another thing completely to find ways to overcome them. Lately, phone etiquette has taken center stage in my house.
I hear it from my friends all the time: "He won't put his phone down. He's on it constantly. He completely ignores us."
We too have had the same intermittent issues in my house. For a while, I ignored them preferring to think that's what teenagers do these days, it's just part of our culture. My husband kept wanting to make a plan — guidelines, rules, something to make it better. But I just kept my head in the sand and decided that I had two good girls who worked hard in school and never got in trouble and I didn't need to put more restrictions on them.
But this week, things came to a head when a family dinner turned ugly. My husband and I found ourselves speaking into a black hole as our girls sat with their noses buried in their phones as we tried to hold a conversation with them. He had had it, and frankly so had I, but I was too exhausted to do anything about it.
He wasn't.
And, so, now we have a phone contract in our home signed by everyone in the family.
I won't bore you with the details, but it basically states that having a smart phone is a privilege and responsibility granted by us and paid for by us. If they don't follow the rules as we state them, they lose their phones, no argument. The rules are pretty simple — speak to everyone with respect, no phones at the dinner table, no digital communication that is inappropriate (foul language, hurtful or disrespectful texts or posts), and no phones behind the wheel of a car (when they get to that point).
Both girls signed the contract without argument. While it won't guarantee perfect behavior, it guarantees the consequences for bad behavior.
So far, so good, although it's only been a few days. One side effect is that it has whetted my 10-year-old's appetite for contracts.
I found the draft of one by my computer the other night written by her that guarantees that she can ride in the front seat of my car when she turns 11. I had already told her that would not happen until she turns 12. The contract states the penalty for me not allowing her to ride in the front seat is 50 cents a week.
So, in honor of her effort, I signed it and told her I would gladly pay $24 a year to keep her safe. Let's just hope she doesn't come up with more contracts that cost me money!

My lower eyelids hang too low showing the white of my eyes way below the coloured iris. This is not normal. My eyes get sore and red a lot and I have wrinkles under my eyes way to early.
What is this problem and can I get it fixed through my doctor?
My lower eyelids hang too low showing the white of my eyes way below the coloured iris. This is not normal. My eyes get sore and red a lot and I have wrinkles under my eyes way to early.
What is this problem and can I get it fixed through my doctor?
If the lower eyelids are hanging too low, you will need a canthoplasty and/or a canthopexy. These are incisions made towards the outer corner of the eye, which will allow the lower eyelid to be changed, tucked up, and put back into a normal position and get rid of the scleral show. These surgeries can be rather difficult, and they do tend to change the shape of the eye, making the eyelid more almond-shaped. Make sure you are going to a surgeon who has done many of these type of procedures such as an oculoplastic surgeon.
Learn more: http://www.seattlefacial.com
The rejuvenation of your lower eyelids is a difficult task in anyone's hands. A board certified oculoplastic surgeon would be the best place to start.
Best regards.
Dear Billabongirl
You are describing some type of lower eyelid support problem with the lower eyelid sagging down to create inferior scleral show (showing the white of the eye under the iris).
These types of situations usually have a lack of bone projection at the top of the cheek and a relative prominence of the eye.
The eyelid skin collects in lines in these sagging lower eyelids. Many would propose addressing this type of problem with a lower eyelid tightening procedure. This may or may not be appropriate for you.
Much depends on the nature of the cheek bone anatomy and the prominence of the eye. Who ever you decide to see, make sure you understand what they are proposing to do and that they can show you before and after photos of patient who had what is proposed.
Dr. Steinsapir
Having the white of your eye showing on your lower lids can be a sign of a loose lower lid that may need tightening. I assume from your post that you have not had any eyelid surgery in the past, as this can be a complication of a lower lid blepharoplasty in a patient with a previously lax lid that did not have a lid tightening procedure performed at the same time.
If you have never had eyelid surgery before, proceed with great caution. I would first recommend a consult with an Ophthalmologist to evaluate your chronic eye irritation, and then consult with a surgeon well versed in lower lid surgery. You will likely require some sort of lid tightening procedure with little or no skin removal.

I am loving this post! Thank you, Ruth!! Better living through chemistry, you know! Ah, the good old atomic age when science was king! I remember it well. So many atoms; so little time.
Perhaps Tom would enjoy the book I bought myself for Christmas this year: "Our Friend, the Atom". It's a Walt Disney book I remember checking out from the school library as a kid. The illustrations were even better than I remembered. I think it's the same vintage as your cool chemistry text find; another mid-century classic.

Target Shopping: Watching Sales, Stacking Coupons, and Using Your REDCard Equals More Savings
If you haven't already checked out the "How to save money at Target" piece that was posted earlier this week, make sure you do. There are some great tips about shopping at Target.
I went through my receipts from the past couple of months (because I have to keep everything for my daycare), and thought I would share some ways I saved money by stacking coupons , checking clearance aisles, following sales, and using my REDcard at Target.
- Clorox Wipes $2.24. Paid just $1.00 after stacking coupons
- Tide laundry detergent on clearance for $5.58. Paid just $3.83 after stacking coupons
- Kraft salad dressing $1.59. Paid just $0.72 after stacking coupons
- SoBe water $1, and bought 10 and received a $5 gift card
- Yoplait Gogurt $2.69 (not on sale the day I shopped, but I needed yogurt for my boys). Paid $1.94 after stacking coupons
- Oscar Mayer Lunchables $1.00. Paid just $0.45 each after
- Cascade dishwasher detergent $3.50. Paid $2.50 after coupons
- Duracel batteries $7.49. Paid $4.99 after coupons
- Vitamin water $0.88, paid $0.59 after coupons
- Herbal Essence Shampoo $2.50. Paid $1.25 after coupons
Diapers are also good products to stack coupons on at Target. I almost always have manufacturer and Target coupons for diapers that I give to my friends. Also, I often see gift card promotions on diapers.
I got my Target Debit card about a year ago. I like that they now offer a debit card so that I can deduct my purchases right out of my checking account rather than get a statement each month. Since the first of this year, I've saved $35.86 by using my card! I'm sure this number will continue to go up as I start my Christmas shopping.
Bargain Buys
Start watching for sales on some of your favorite Thanksgiving foods. I know Walmart has already dropped prices on items such as stuffing and soups. I haven't been to Target in a few weeks, but my guess is that their prices have started to drop too.
This week at Target there are gift card promotions on Dunkin Donuts Coffee, Tide, Bounce, Charmin, and Centrum vitamins. You may also find free Hungry Jack pancake mix (target coupon), cheap Philadephia Cooking Cream (Target coupon), and $1 4packs of Activia (10-2 Smart Source).

Act powerful, be powerful
Open, expansive postures reflect and signal power (picture Wonder Woman). They are expressed by individuals who already feel powerful.
Powerless people do the opposite — contracting, hunching, and making themselves smaller.
When it comes to power, the mind shapes the body, a finding supported by extensive peer-reviewed science. This, to most of us, is not so surprising.
But what is surprising, when it comes to power, is that the body also shapes the mind. Dana Carney (UC-Berkeley) and I, both experimental social psychologists, have conducted research showing that adopting these postures — "power posing" — actually causes people to become more powerful: After sitting or standing, alone in a room, in a high-power pose for just two minutes, participants in our experiments resembled powerful people — emotionally, cognitively, behaviorally, and even physiologically.

About ten years ago I started to fall in love with paper scrapping. I collected a lot of scrapbooking material and made quite a collection of pages. After a while I found myself having less and less time to spend on my hobbies and a few years ago I discovered the ease of use of digital scrapbooking. By making scrapbook pages on my computer, I can scrapbook whenever I have a spare moment, wherever I am.

Pete Townshend Attacks Music Piracy, iTunes At UK Symposium
Pete Townshend is lashing out against illegal downloading and the Internet's role in music distribution.
The BBC says the rocker took aim at iTunes, calling the Apple music store a "digital vampire" that "exists in the wild west Internet land of Facebook and Twitter." The Who guitarist suggested the company do more to earn its "enormous commission," and provide guidance and support to new artists who show a lot of promise. Townshend also expressed his dismay at how people now seem to feel entitled to the music they previously had to pay for, saying he wondered "what has gone wrong with human morality and social justice."
In addition, Pete accused the Internet of "destroying copyright as we know it." But he added that the problem is a "dilemma for every creative soul" because "a creative person would prefer their music to be stolen and enjoyed than ignored." Townshend made his remarks in an address he gave Monday at the BBC 6's inaugural John Peel Lecture, a new UK music symposium named in honor of the famed British DJ.

Passage of the law means that same-sex partners will not only be free to marry in Argentina, but will also have the same legal rights and protections as traditional married couples.
Following the vote, Maria Rachid of the Argentine Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Federation declared that her country would now take its place in the world as "a more just and democratic country," adding that the law "not only recognizes the rights of our families, but also the possibility of having access to health care, to leave a pension, to leave our assets to the people with whom we have shared many years of life, including our children."
Argentina's President, Cristina Fernandez, had made passage of the law a priority for her administration and called the vote "a positive step that defends the rights of the minority." But as debate played out across Argentina, the issue had become a divisive one even among her own supporters, and observers were speculating that Fernandez's government could suffer severe backlash for her endorsement of a lifestyle many of her fellow countrymen find repulsive.
Outside of Buenos Aires, a city that has gone out of its way to make itself attractive to homosexual tourists, Argentina retains a strongly conservative base that includes both Catholic and evangelical Christians, and as the campaign for homosexual marriage heated up this group came together in a strong display of opposition. Led by Catholic Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, some 60,000 Argentineans demonstrated in the nation's capital prior to the vote, with Bergoglio emphasizing that children in Argentina "have the right to be raised and educated by a father and a mother," and that "everyone loses" with the legalization of homosexual marriage.
While some opponents of homosexual marriage had proposed the option of legalizing civil unions such as exist in Uruguay and parts of Mexico and Brazil, homosexual activists emphasized that nothing less than fully legalized marriage with all the benefits would do, and with some last-minute political maneuvering a coalition of homosexual-friendly politicians gave them their desire.
Argentina now joins nine other countries that have legalized homosexual marriage: Belgium, Canada, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, and Sweden. And while no similar federal law has been passed in the United States, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and the District of Columbia (Washington, DC) have all passed legislation legalizing homosexual marriage.

And the Babe of the Week Is… Wendy Fiore!
Wendy Fiore proves without any reasonable doubt that having a giant set of melons, bazongas, hooters, or whatever you want to call them gives you the competitive edge you need to defeat your opponents. At least, when it comes to Babe of the Week.
Tourniquette Suicide — Today's Suicidegirl
Meet Tourniquette – She's in the business of Visual Merchandising Outsourcing and Industrial Design. Sounds confusing, doesn't it? Well, one thing that's not confusing is why we love that one of the things she cannot live without is her tongue piercing...
Vote for Babe of the Week – Alba, Wendy, Piyanuch, Joanna, Danielle, Amanda
Babe of the Month may still be raging on, but that doesn't mean we can forget about all the other hot chicks vying for your attention.
Vote for Babe of the Month – Danni Gee, Christine Dolce, Deziree Ramirez, Nikki Nardini
All throughout the month of April, you've been voting for the hottest of hot chicks in our Babe of the Week competition. Four ridiculously sexy bombshells quickly rose to the top of the pack — the always topless Danni Gee, 'Naughtiest Cybervixen' Christine Dolce, Deziree Ramirez from 'The Real Housewives of Dallas' and the hottest spokesmodel ever Nikki Nardini.
Rebecca Hall — Crush of the Day
Fresh off the domination of 'The Avengers' at the box office, all types of rumors involving super hero flicks is flying around like The Wasp on a coke bender. The latest confirmed piece of news is that Rebecca Hall has signed on to star in the third installment of the Iron Man movie franchise. Hall is also our 'Crush of the Day.'
Vote for Babe of the Week – Amber, Alexandra, Leslie, Erika, Challis, Ellysa, Destiny
If you've seen Erika Othen splashing around in her bikini, then you're probably just as excited for warm weather as she is. But that's not the only thing she's excited about.
While we haven't received any actual responses from her, we're sure she's pumped for Babe of the Week. Why wouldn't she be?
Bella Heathcote of 'Dark Shadows' — Crush of the Day
Isabella "Bella" Heathcote is an Australian actress best known for playing Amanda Fowler on the Australian television soap opera 'Neighbours.' American audience will be introduced to Bella this weekend after the opening on Tim Burton's 'Dark Shadows' featuring Johnny Depp. We knew about Bella long ago, but just got around to making her the 'Crush of the Day.'
Danielle Houghton — Babe of the Day
Danielle Houghton is a 19-year-old model and Hooters girl from Whitewater, Wisconsin.
Amber Nichole — Babe of the Day
Amber Nichole is a model from Las Vegas, Nevada. She has been features in Muscle & Fitness, Maxim, GQ and Player magazines.
Satelina Suicide — Today's SuicideGirl
Meet Satelina, a SuicideGirl from the Ukraine that loves veggies and doesn't do drugs.
Ashley Greene — Crush of the Day
Ashley Greene is an actress and model, and her latest movie 'LOL' with Miley Cyrus will get absolutely demolished at the box office this weekend by something called 'The Avengers.' We feel bad for Ashley, not just because she had to hang around Miley for so long, but because of the upcoming box office butt-kicking. So Ashley is our 'Crush of the Day.'
And the Babe of the Week Is… Nikki Nardini!
Spokesmodel Kacie McDonnell and sexiest springboard diver Nikki Nardini were the last two women standing in the latest Babe of the Week competition. While both ladies put it a good fight, both winning the hearts of voters everywhere, it was Nardini who ultimately pulled ahead to win the title.

About Ace Cafe London:
The original Ace Cafe was opened in 1938 as a "transport cafe" on the north edge of London. In the 50' and 60's, the Ace arguably became the birthplace of the cafe racer culture and the mods and rockers era as British youth discovered rock n' roll music on the juke boxes at they raced their bikes from cafe to cafe. Time passed, as did the glory days of the British Motorcycle Industry and the rock n' roll scene, but the dream lived on and in 1994, Mark Wilsmore, driven by his passion, staged an event to mark the Ace Cafe's closure in 1969. 12,000 people attended this first Ace Cafe Reunion, which has since been held every year, attracting over 150,000 visitors. It was Mark's vision that brought the iconic cafe, back from dereliction, to the point where today it is the world's most famous and charismatic destination and pit stop for the global "petrol head" community.

ALVAREZ, Martha Cecilia; LOPEZ, Amalia and ESTRADA, Alejandro. Nutritional status of children in Antioquia, Colombia, according to two reference systems. Rev Panam Salud Publica [online]. 2009, vol.25, n.3, pp.196-203. ISSN 1680-5348. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1020-49892009000300002.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the anthropometric and nutritional indicators of a group of children in Antioquia, Colombia, according to the reference standards of the World Health Organization and of the National Health Statistics (NCHS), United States of America. METHODS: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out on a representative, random sample of 2 290 children participating in the supplementary food program MANA in Antioquia, Colombia. A comparison was made of the 50th percentile (P50) for weight and length/height, the nutritional status (weight-for-age, length/height-for-age, and weight-for-length/height), and the mean Z scores according to the reference values established by WHO and by NCHS. Student t and χ2 tests were performed, each using 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). RESULTS: The prevalence of general malnutrition was significantly lower when following WHO standards (5.3%; 95%CI: 4.42-6.30) versus NCHS standards (7.6%; 95%CI: 6.56-8.78; P = 0.0014). Chronic malnutrition was greater with the WHO standards (17.6%; 95%CI: 16.03-19.19) than with NCHS's (12.8%; 95%CI: 11.46-14.25; P < 0.001), and severe malnutrition was similar for both (2.0%; 95%CI: 1.49-2.69 and 2.3%; 95%CI: 1.71-2.99, respectively; P = 0.477). The prevalence of overweight was greater with WHO standards (3.8%; 95%CI: 3.07-4.69) than with NCHS standards (2.3%; 95%CI: 1.75-3.04; P = 0.0035). CONCLUSION: When WHO standards are applied, overweight and chronic malnutrition are more easily detected, than with NCHS'; furthermore, the prevalence rate of general malnutrition decreases beginning at 6 months age, while the overall chronic malnutrition prevalence increases. These new standards constitute an appropriate tool for assessing growth and establishing more objective values for malnutrition prevalence. The Antioquía department should establish policies for health, food, and nutrition that will improve the nutritional status of its children.

See by Chloe Stamped Dotty Carmen Satchel, $495 via Neiman Marcus.
At first glance, the See by Chloe Stamped Dotty Carmen Satchel is a pretty nice choice. The leather is neutral and plentiful, the shape is classic and at less than $500, the price is right. But the more I look at it, the more a couple of things about the design are bothering me, and I'm wondering if I'm the only one.
First, is this supposed to be ostrich? The bag's retail listing makes no mention of the leather's possible faux-exotic intentions, only that it's embossed, and the texture isn't quite right to mimic real ostrich. So depending on who you are, you might look at this bag and think, "Oh, dots," or "Oh, really bad fake ostrich." My compulsion is the latter, unfortunately, and now that I've had the thought, I can't unthink it.
As See by Chloe bags tend to do, though, that's not all that's bothering me. I don't like when designers add on visual features that are usually functional, but do so purely for aesthetic sake, and that's the case with the twee little pockets that you see here. What are you supposed to put in there, a single breath mint? I'll partially forgive the design faux pas because the company saw fit to provide an optional crossbody strap, but still, those pockets bother me something fierce. I kind of want to saw them off. Buy through Neiman Marcus for $495.
P.S. Please consider supporting our small, bag-loving team by clicking our links before shopping or checking out at your favorite online retailers like Amazon, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, or any of the listed partners on our shop page. We truly appreciate your support!
