Ras-I Dowling still had a reserved parking space out in front of Gillette Stadium as of late Thursday night, even though he no longer had a place on the Patriots' roster.
Dowling earned that parking spot this offseason, when he, along with Tom Brady, Jerod Mayo, Rob Ninkovich and others, was recognized as one of the Patriots' offseason workout award winners. Just as it's been in the two-plus years since he was drafted with the first pick of the second round, though, Dowling's promise and potential just never translated onto the football field in New England.
After two seasons and three training camps filled with endless exercise bike rides and visits to the trainer's room, the Patriots finally shelved Dowling for good this week, ending his frustrating tenure with the team. The decision to cut the 25-year-old corner became a helluva lot easier for Bill Belichick and the coaching staff this preseason, as some unexpected players were able to step up and account for his absence in the secondary.
The obvious stars like Aqib Talib, Kyle Arrington and Devin McCourty are already expected to make a difference in the secondary, but, with questions about Alfonzo Dennard's health — he didn't play in any of the Patriots' preseason games — and potential legal implications from his July arrest, there were concerns farther down the depth chart early in the preseason. The presence of veteran Marquice Cole and third-round rookie Logan Ryan helped to quell those concerns with strong play on the outside this preseason.
Cole, who played sparingly on the corner for the Patriots in 2012, will never be a starter or even a consistent contributor on the outside, but he's proven throughout the preseason that he can be relied on at the back end of the depth chart. A pair of pass breakups and some solid coverage on the outside against the Giants reinforced that notion on Thursday night, confirming Belichick's faith in him.
Ryan, on the other hand, is far from a proven veteran or at the height of his potential yet. The 23-year-old came into camp as wide-eyed and raw as you might expect from a rookie corner, but, five weeks and four preseason games later, he already looks like a different player.
The rookie has played more snaps than any other Patriots defender this preseason, spending time with the first-, second- and third-team defense and embracing every opportunity as a chance to improve. The highlight of Ryan's preseason came in the second game, when he returned an interception for a touchdown against the Buccaneers, but he's made plays since that have just continued to raise eyebrows and hopes. He managed a pair of pass breakups against the Giants on Thursday, sticking with Victor Cruz and the rest of the Giants' receiving corps with a veteran feel for most of the night. He did stumble on a goal-line jam against Hakeem Nicks, allowing Eli Manning to hit the receiver with relative ease for a score early on, but rookie mistakes like that are all part of the developmental process. The key takeaway from the game should be that Ryan responded positively and didn't fall victim to the same mistake again — as he rarely does.
Neither Ryan nor Cole is ready to be a starter for the Patriots right now, but both would be, at the very least, serviceable if forced into extended duty. Sure, it would've been nice to have a depth chart that included the size (6-foot-1, 210 pounds) and skills of Dowling, but, as the old saying goes, you can't make the club from the tub — and Dowling just couldn't stay healthy.
Cutting Dowling couldn't have been an easy decision for Belichick to make, no matter the circumstance. Belichick knows talent when he sees it, and there's no doubting Dowling's pure talent or work ethic as a player — hence the parking spot. The head coach also knows when to cut his losses, though, and the development of Ryan and Cole just helped ease an otherwise difficult situation.

I admit, this gave me a headache.
Pharmacist who worked in Ontario sues Walgreens over vaccination rule.
Edwin DeWitt worked in Ontario for about five years before his refusal to give immunizations prompted a fight with the company that is headed for a jury trial.
DeWitt has practiced Kriya Yoga and followed its tenets since about 1986, when he was introduced to it in college, his lawyer said. One of the general tenets is "to do no harm to himself or any other person," the lawsuit says. Kriya Yoga considers "injectable substances, including medicines … to be toxic and harmful to the human body," according to the suit.
DeWitt started working for Walgreens in Ontario in 2005 and was promoted to pharmacy manager in late 2007. His lawyer, Guy Hallam of Boise's Kormanik Hallam & Sneed firm, said Walgreens never denied the legitimacy of DeWitt's religious objection, but failed to accommodate his beliefs in violation of federal law.
Tip: @PharmacistScott via Twitter
This type of personal beliefs dispute comes up with regards to the dispensing of sell morning-after pills. And, apparently, lawsuits also have been filed that allege discrimination against people who refused compulsory vaccinations.
Many states have passed "conscience clause" laws. But where is the line between doing your job, which is serving the public, and your personal beliefs (in this case, are unfounded in science)? If this guy thinks medicines are toxic, he is in the WRONG profession. Don't sue your employer who is doing the reasonable thing, get the hell out of the job! SHEESH.

Mahalo nui loa to Missagh Rajaei, Assistant Manager at Four Seasons Lanai for allowing us to share his amazing Lanai sunrise photo. It's a stunner!
Missagh's photo proves to us that getting up early for sunrise is a rewarding experience. Due to our jet lag, we're typically up well before sunrise on our first few mornings after arrival. On those mornings, we love to sit out on the lanai, sipping coffee as we watch the island awaken from its calm slumber. It's nearly heaven on earth. (See our post on using your jet lag to your advantage.)
Missagh tells us that this photo is of the first sunrise of 2013. If this scene is any indicator of what 2013 has in store for Lanai, 2013 is going to be a fantastic year!

Lefty hurls 5 2/3 two-hit innings; Johnson, Gardner, McCann go deep
NEW YORK -- There was a spark of defiance in Joe Girardi's voice on Friday afternoon as the Yankees manager defended -- yet again -- a decision to keep his team in rotation, handing the ball to Vidal Nuno for the opener of a three-game series with the Red Sox.
It was a move ripe for second-guessing, and there was plenty, but it also turned out to be the correct call. Nuno spun 5 2/3 innings of scoreless two-hit ball in his best outing of the season and the Yankees hit three home runs, fueling a 6-0 thumping of Boston on Friday.
"It's a confidence booster, to show that I can still belong here and attack these guys," said Nuno, who retired 10 straight through one stretch and exited to a standing ovation from a sellout crowd of 48,522.
Kelly Johnson and Brett Gardner hit back-to-back home runs off Red Sox starter Brandon Workman, and Brian McCann added a long two-run shot off Craig Breslow as the Yankees won their second consecutive game.
"Obviously a good thing," said Johnson, who snapped an 84 at-bat homerless stretch with his first blast since May 3. "We scored a lot of runs. One was all we needed."
Girardi bristled in a pregame news conference when he was quizzed on the decision to stick with Nuno, who was hammered in his previous two outings and has struggled mightily at Yankee Stadium, where he compiled a 7.09 ERA coming into Friday's effort.
Nuno's excellent 91-pitch outing provided Girardi with a prime opportunity to gloat, though he did not snap up that bait. Rather, Girardi acknowledged that while Nuno may not possess electric stuff, he seems to have the guile to keep big league hitters off-balance.
"He fights," Girardi said. "It's not a guy that throws 95 [mph], not a guy with a wipeout slider. It's a guy that just goes out and competes and finds a way to get it done. He's beaten a lot of the odds, in a sense."
Nuno walked two and struck out five, authoring another chapter of frustration for the Red Sox, who entered play on Friday ranked third to last in the American League in runs scored.
"We felt like, coming into this ballgame, we had a chance to do something against their starter, but he made some pitches against us," Red Sox manager John Farrell said.
New York's bullpen was stellar. Dellin Betances provided 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief before turning over duties to Adam Warren in the eighth, and Matt Thornton worked the ninth to preserve Nuno's second win of the year and his first since May 7.
In his most recent outings against the Athletics and Orioles, Nuno said that he had been trying to overpower his pitches, leaving balls up in the zone that were hit hard. He credited McCann's game-calling for Friday's bounceback, saying that he did not shake off a single sign from the veteran catcher.
"I really don't shake," Nuno said. "I just trust him."
"He really answered the bell tonight," McCann said. "He came out, established the strike zone, established what he wanted to do and got big outs after big outs."
New York produced four runs in seven innings against Workman, who returned from a six-game suspension to make Friday's start.
The Yankees gave Nuno a quick lead in the first inning as Derek Jeter singled in his first at-bat as a 40-year-old, moved to third base on Jacoby Ellsbury's double and scored on a Mark Teixeira sacrifice fly.
Johnson connected for a two-run homer to right field off Workman in the fourth and Gardner followed with a full-count blast that also found the right-field seats, marking the fourth time this season that the Yankees have hit back-to-back home runs.
In the eighth, McCann teed off for his ninth homer of the year, which landed in the second deck in right field.
"I got a 3-1 fastball, kind of in the middle, and was able to drive it, which I haven't been able to do a lot of," McCann said. "So that was good -- to actually drive a baseball."
Girardi saw the power display as a reason for the club to have faith that the offense will come around.
"I believe they're going to come," Girardi said. "We went through some times that we were up and down, but I really believe that these guys are really going to contribute and put up numbers."

When the Sounders Academy U18s started play last weekend one youngster scored in each of their games. Ike Crook's two goals bring him to at least 23 in Academy competition. He was possibly one of the smaller players on the field. It's something that Crook has been true for half a decade.
When Adrian Hanauer speaks about the future of the Academy and eventual Homegrown Player signee in general he always says something to the effect that it will take time to see the full potential of the Academy. Now entering its third season in the United States Soccer Development Academy system, Sounders FC are having years of impact on the young men's lives. There are several players like Crook though that entered the USSDA before the Sounders did. Crook is a unique veteran going all the way back to its formation. At the age of 13 he played on a U16 team. Now he's in his fifth season of Academy play.
Sounders FC Academy Technical Director Darren Sawatzky explained via email how the years have changed Ike's game. "Ike's will to win and his competitive spirit have grown immensely. He also understands more each day how to manage games (when to speed up play, slow play down, when you need a sense of urgency etc.). Ike also gets better each day technically because he works at his game and you will rarely see him miss an optional training."
Some of that may be influence beyond his time in the Academy. Ike's father is Billy Crook. One of the many locals who played for the Seattle Sounders of the NASL. Billy Crook is also a coach in the Sounders Academy system.
If* Crook is going to take the steps into a future as a pro there will be questions about his size. He's certainly small, though still young. There will not be questions about his understanding the game. Generally a winger (positions fluctuate more at the Academy level in order to better develop talent) his style of play is a combination of Joao Plata and Mauro Rosales. He can slip between defenders with the ball at his feet or if given space deliver good crosses at his level. Unlike those two players Crook has some spunk and drive to defend. He earns more cautions than average, but it comes from an intensity and drive to help the team win the ball back. Crook will not lack for motivation.
He is undersized. In America sports height and weight measurables sometimes surpass the actual performance on the field. Crook's performance demands attention. He's been successful at every level so far.
*There are a lot of ifs when it comes to a future signing and projecting talent at a top pro level is more art than science. What is provided here is an example of the style of play that Ike Crook offers, not peak level of performance or what should be expected of him in the future.
Fittingly Sounders fans will get to see their Academy team at home for the first time this season on September 22nd at 1PM on Starfire Sports Field 11 against the Portland Timbers brand new Academy team.

My child is a dependent receiving Social Security benefits. How do I report these benefits?
You aren't taxed on Social Security Benefits for your Dependants. Since your child is the person with the legal right to receive these Social Security Benefits, they're only taxable to her. These benefits are reported on her return if she files a return. This is true even if the benefits are deposited in your account.
Your child's Social Security benefits are tax-free as long as her provisional income is less than the base amount. The base amount is $25,000 for a single person. Provisional income is the total of:
- 50% of her Social Security benefits
- Other taxable and tax-exempt income
So, if your child has other income besides Social Security, she might be taxed on some of her benefits. Her other income might include taxable scholarships and wages from a job. Also, your child's Social Security benefits might be a factor if you can claim her as a dependent. For the support test, the Social Security benefits your child spends on her own support are considered provided by her. This is regardless of whether the benefits are taxable.
Ready to file?
You've got your forms. And we've got your back. There's only one thing left to do. Let's do this.
So how much will you get (or owe) this year? That's the million-dollar question. We happen to have three very useful calculators to help you estimate your refund or balance due.

SAN DIEGO, May 12, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Good news for small business owners: the number of consumers willing to go out of their way to shop at small businesses, even if it costs more, has increased in the last year, according to survey results released today by The UPS Store ®. Small businesses are not only viewed as important and valued by their owners, but also are increasingly valued by their communities for their impact on the economy. The survey indicated that 89 percent of consumers said doing business with small businesses in their communities is important and 90 percent of all respondents agree that small businesses are important to the U.S. economy. America's small businesses create two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year, and are responsible for more than 55 percent of all jobs in the U.S.* A noteworthy survey finding was that consumers are increasingly willing to spend more and go out of their way to shop at or use the services of a small business. Specifically:
- The number of people who paid more for a product or service in order to support a small business over a large corporation increased by 41 percent from 2013 to 2014.
- The number of people who traveled out of their way to support a small business over a large corporation increased by 36 percent from 2013 to 2014.

A pulled calf muscle is a really common sporting injury that can cause long-term problems if not effectively managed. Other common terms for the condition include a calf muscle strain or torn calf muscle.
Essentially, what all these terms refer to is when the calf muscles are pulled beyond their normal elastic limit, overstretching them and damaging some or all of muscle fibres.
With a calf strain there is usually sudden, intense pain, the area may be tender to touch with swelling and bruising and walking is often difficult. There are three grades of calf muscle strain, depending on how much of the muscle is damaged.
Here we will look at what muscles make up the calf complex, how they are injured, the common symptoms experienced, what the best treatment options are and how to prevent pulled calf muscles happening to you.
The calf is made up of two muscles, gastrocnemius and soleus. The deep soleus muscle arises from just below the knee joint. The gastrocnemius muscle sits over the top of the soleus muscle and arises from just above the knee. Both muscles join together around the mid-calf level to form the Achilles tendon which attaches the calf to the foot at the back of the heel.
The calf muscles work together to pull the foot downwards into plantarflexion. They play an important role when the foot is pushing off the ground when walking, running and jumping and help to stabilise the ankle.
A pulled calf muscle usually happens suddenly due to injury, but can develop gradually from overuse. A calf muscle strain most commonly affects the larger, more superficial gastrocnemius muscle but can affect the soleus muscle as well.
Acute calf muscle strains occur when the muscle is suddenly overstretched, usually when changing direction or accelerating e.g. sprinting or jumping. Athletes participating in sports such as tennis, basketball, football or track events are commonly affected by calf muscle strain due to the sudden bursts of speed required when moving from a stationary position.
Calf muscle strains can also developed due to repetitive overuse of the calf muscles usually with running and jumping, especially if the muscles are weak or tight. Pulled calf muscles are the most common cause of calf pain in runners.
There are three grades of calf muscle strain:
Grade 1: This is when a torn calf muscle affects only a few of
the muscle fibres (up to approximately 10%)
Symptoms: Mild pain may be felt at the time of injury or may not develop until after activity has stopped. The calf may feel tight and painful to move and it may be accompanied by cramp. Symptoms usually last from a few days to a couple of weeks
Grade 2: More fibres are damaged but the muscle is still
intact (10-90% of the muscle fibres)
Symptoms: With a grade 2 pulled calf muscle a moderate, sharp pain is usually felt at the time of injury and there may be resultant swelling and bruising. It will be painful when the calf muscles contract or are stretched and the region is often tender to touch. The affected person will usually walk with a limp due to pain and weakness. Symptoms usually last 4-6 weeks
Grade 3: Complete rupture of the muscle i.e. all the fibres
are torn.
Symptoms: When suffering from a completely torn calf muscle, pain will be severe and immediate. The person will be unable to walk on the affected leg. There will be considerate bruising and swelling. There may also be a bulge in the calf just above where the rupture has taken place as the muscle tissue pings up into a lump
Treatment for a pulled calf muscle aims to prevent further injury, aid healing and ensure full recovery to prevent long-term problems.
The most important treatment for a pulled calf muscle is rest. It sounds simple, but it is vital to rest to allow the muscles to heal and to prevent the injury getting worse. Returning to activity too soon can turn a grade 1 torn calf muscle into a grade 2 or a grade 2 to a grade 3.
You will probably need to rest for 2-3 weeks with a grade 1 calf muscle strain, longer for a more severe injury. Avoid any activities that cause pain and do not stretch the muscle. You should not return to sport until you are pain free. Stretching should be avoided until you can plantarflex your foot against resistance without pain e.g. pushing up onto your tiptoes. Do not return to sport until you have been given the all clear by your doctor or physical therapist
Ice should be applied to a pulled calf muscle as quickly as possible. Either use a specially designed ice pack or wrap ice cubes in a towel and place them over the affected area for 10 minutes. Leave 2 hours between applications. To find out more about how to use ice safely and effectively, visit the ice treatment section.
Wearing a compression bandage such a tubigrip or a specially designed calf wrap will help to reduce swelling and provide some support to the pulled calf muscle. The compression helps to limit swelling by reducing blood flow. Tubigrip should not be worn at night.
To find out more about how tubigrip works and what size is right for you, visit the tubigrip compression bandage section
Keep the injured calf elevated above the level of the heart to help reduce swelling associated with a pulled calf muscle. Ensure that the back of the knee is supported when in this position to prevent knee pain.
Your doctor may advise medication to help reduce the pain and inflammation associated with a pulled calf muscle. Over the counter medication such as paracetamol/acetaminophen or ibuprofen/Advil is usually sufficient. Always consult your doctor before taking any medication.
You may need to use crutches for a few days to keep the
weight off your leg and prevent further damage to the strained calf muscle. These should be provided by a health care profession to ensure they are the right height and so they can teach you how to safely move around and go up and down stairs.
Wearing a heel pad in your shoe helps to raise the heel and therefore decreases the tension through the calf muscle. It is best to wear a pad in both shoes otherwise you will end up with one leg slightly longer than the other which can lead to back problems.
Once the pain from your pulled calf muscle is settling, you
can start gentle movement and strengthening exercises. These should be carried out under the
guidance of your doctor or physical therapist.
Any exercises that cause pain should be stopped immediately. When appropriate,
resistance exercises e.g. using theraband are important as they help the fibres
to align properly as they heal and prevent the build-up of scar tissue. Once these are pain-free, you can start calf stretching exercises.
It is important to continue rehab even once the symptoms have gone to ensure you regain full strength and flexibility in your calf muscles or you run the risk of suffering from further pulled calf muscles in the future.
A sports massage, carried out by a fully trained professional can aid healing of a pulled calf muscle by improving blood flow, stretching the muscle and preventing the build-up of scar tissue.
Your physical therapist may also use ultrasound to help promote healing after a pulled calf muscle. It is thought that Ultrasound can help to improve blood flow to the area and breakdown any cross-fibres that have formed in the muscle allowing the collagen fibres to heal in the correct alignment to ensure good strength and flexibility in the muscle.
Whether you have suffered from a pulled calf muscle in the past or not, prevention is better than cure. By ensuring that your muscles are warmed up before commencing exercise, you reduce your risk of suffering from a calf muscle strain.
You also want to make sure you calf muscles are strong and flexible so that they can cope with strain you put them through:
1) Strengthening Exercises: exercises to improve the strength and endurance of the calf muscles will reduce the chance of injury
2) Stretching Exercises: regularly stretching your calf muscles, especially before and after exercise reduces the strain on the muscle and improves flexibility.
To find out how to effectively strengthen and stretch your calf muscles, visit the calf workout section on our sister site
A pulled calf muscle is the most common cause of calf pain, but there are other, potentially life threatening causes of calf pain. Visit the calf pain section to find out more.

For a lot of business owners, the decision to expand online is an easy one. On occasion, though, just analyzing the pros and cons can keep you up all night. The process doesn't have to be that hard. Because I live in a virtual world (I would grocery shop online if I didn't live in the middle of nowhere), I think it's important for every business to have an online presence.
The reasons for building a Web site can range from generating sales to providing simple information. Let's look at a few questions you should ask yourself as you decide what direction you should go with your Web site.
Optimization? Yes. Yellow Landing Pages? No.
Can you handle an increase in sales? Do you have the staff necessary to fill orders and ensure your customer service is up to par? If you're living in a hyper, fast-paced world, then maybe selling online shouldn't be your goal. Instead, strive to provide information to your existing customer base: store hours, maps, specials and an e-newsletter subscription form. If you make this information available online, you can even save some time answering phone calls from people asking the questions your Web site answers. You need an easily updatable and small Web site to accomplish this.
Don't forget the search engine optimization tasks necessary to ensure your clients can find you online. If you're just working to provide information to existing customers, you should be able to be found for queries for your brand or business name. So what's the best way to be found? You've probably been approached by your Yellow Pages provider to build some sort of landing page through them. I generally advise against this — you can do much better with a simply built site done by someone who understands usability and search engine optimization and rankings.
Some people, including Bill Gates, predict Yellow Pages searches will die off in five years or so. I don't know if it will be that extreme; what I do know is the ideal domain you should have will probably not be available, or will be very expensive in five years. Do it now — save some headaches down the road and get in the game early rather than late.
Search Engine Friendly Merchandising
If you want sales from your Web site, make sure your products can be listed in a search engine in user-friendly manner. Navigation should be simple, each product should have its own page, and the checkout process should be smooth and require as little input from you as possible. Ideally, you'll get an email or notice that says, "Mail X to Y and you're done." This type of site will require a bit more of an investment, but in the long run, adding and removing products will be easier, and it will therefore be simpler to keep your product offerings up to date.
Not every Web site is going to convert right from the go-live date. It can happen, but it takes careful preparation and some really good marketing plans to achieve those results. If you plan to use your Web site casually with the purpose of offering phone numbers, product overviews, and a map to your location — then the return will be realized much more slowly.
Invest Time, Not Just Money
If you need the Web site to convert from the beginning, then you must consider more time investment. Prepare a budget and run some regionally targeted pay-per-click ads or an aggressive email marketing campaign to let everyone know your Web site is live. If you're a dry cleaner in downtown Denver, you want your site structured, optimized, and marketed in a way to ensure you're going to come up in multiple search platforms for "Lodo dry cleaner" or "downtown Denver dry cleaner." Neighborhoods have colloquial names that you must consider. Red Hook in Brooklyn or Union Square in San Francisco would be examples.
Some ideas I really like for local businesses using Web sites would be to promote "Online order & delivery" or "online order & pickup." Supermarkets in bigger cities have a great program wherein you order your groceries online, the staff assembles and packages the product, and it's delivered or you pick it up. Providing convenience to your customers should be your utmost goal, whether you're looking for sales or just looking to answer some questions.
Don't Spoil Your Site. Content Has An Expiration Date.
Honestly — and I've told hundreds of people this — if you can't commit the resources and time required to keep your Web site updated and looking fresh, it's not worth the money to get one in the first place. I can drive a million visitors to your site, but if your specials are outdated by six months and you no longer sell 50 percent of the products listed, it's not going to convert into sales, and you're going to spend a lot of time answering phone calls and smoothing ruffled feathers. Your ultimate goal should be a site that you can use, and not pay someone to update it every month.
There can be immense benefits to brining your business online — there can also be pitfalls. Being prepared for your step into the virtual marketplace can make the transition less painful and more profitable. Ask yourself these questions before you begin the process and have fun with it. If it's a chore, it won't provide the results you're looking for.

Gawking tall and Careful What You Witch For
|By Amy Alkon
Gawking tall
Q: You were too conventional when you said that a man who is in a relationship but stares at other women is rude. I want a woman who is sexually loyal, but who stares as hard as she wants at men she finds appealing, and I will do the same (with women). It's a way to have fun together, to have life be an uninhibited overflowing of joy. I have no desire to actually have sex with another woman, but men evolved to stare and women evolved to be stared at. The human animal has such a lengthy evolutionary history that the more we allow people to safely express all sides of their nature, the happier they are. You're usually pretty good, but work a little harder to help people attain expressive freedom versus repressive pain. —Enjoying Sexuality
A: I'd probably be less "conventional" if I were around 13 or 80, the ages at which adolescent rebellion seems to strike — both perfect times to act out by donning the t-shirt "Ask me about my nipple rings."
These days, I find it often makes sense to follow convention — all that boring stuff like stopping at red lights, greeting people with "Hello" instead of "Dirtbag!" and motioning the waiter over instead of beaning him on the head with a roll. In giving advice, however, I don't care about what's conventional or unconventional, just what seems to work. In this case, for most men, that's whatever keeps their wife or girlfriend from keeping them up all night with her weeping.
Careful What You Witch For
Q: If you love someone, and they hurt you, why do you survive on the desire to see them wounded? The man I've had a passionate on-again, off-again relationship with for eight years recently told me our getting back together was a mistake, and that he's taking up with another woman...my competition. I love him, and want to be nice about it long enough to get some cold revenge.
A: If you love something...slash its tires? Oh, wait -- I think that's not quite how it goes. A lot of people feel like you do, and justify it with stuff like, "You know, there's a thin line between love and hate." No, there isn't. There's just a thin line between not getting what you want and hating the person who isn't giving it to you. If your love for somebody is contingent on being wanted by them, you don't really love them; you love being wanted. And while we're on accepted wisdom that isn't actually wise, revenge is not "best served cold" (or with a glass of Prosecco); it's best not served at all. You've got limited time on the planet, and spending it prosecuting the past is just going to mire you in feeling rejected. And what did the guy do that was so terrible? Start loving somebody else? That's exactly what you should do, and maybe can, if you work on accepting that it's over and move on -- and not just because the judge orders you to stay 75 yards away at all times.

Both of the last machines I bought (an IBM X3550 and an HP DL380) come with hardware raid solutions. These are an utter nuisance because: - they can only be configured from the BIOS (or with a bootable utility CD). Linux has very basic monitoring tools, but no way to reconfigure the array, or add disks to empty hot-swap slots while the system is running. - If there is a Linux raid config program, it's not part of the main packaged distro, but usually a pre-built binary, available for only one release/kernel of the wrong distro. - the IBM one had dodgy firmware, which, until updated, caused the disk to totally fail after a few days. - you pay a lot of money for something effectively pointless, and have less control and less flexibility. After my experience with the X3550, I hunted for any server that would ship without hardware raid, i.e. connect the 8 SATA hotswap slots direct to the motherboard, or where the hardware raid could be de-activated completely, and put into pass-through mode. Neither HP nor IBM make such a thing. Richard > > - Jeremy >

Before a foot had trodden on the hallowed Donington turf, many an armchair promoter and naysayer wailed at the 2014 offerings. With competition from other festivals and the memory of 2013 there was always the expectation that this year would be a quieter one for Download. Well as quiet as a rock and metal festival can be.
Santigold has written for other artists including Lily Allen and Ashlee Simpson, but now she's got a new record Master of My Make Believe, as well as single Disparate Youth.

AmazingOkay first off this is a really well made product. There's a pretty good amt of retinol and Green tea in it and a great moisturizing base.. How do i Know? I read the ingrediants list and the potency is listed in order. I used this product while being on accutane ( befoer I could use prescription retinoids) and it was awesome, my skin started to become more even and seemed like it was retaining mo...read morere water, so it was smoother and healthier looking. And i've been on accutane before so I know it wasnt just the drug. This product is best for those that dont mind waiting longer than a prescription would take, but it's worth it. Especially if prescription retinoids dont agree with your skin. It's probably one of the best over the counter retinoids I've seen mainly because it also contains an antioxidant like green tea which also helps with sun damage/photosynthesis... I personally think the SPF version is better because theere's not point in using retinoids without sunscreen but you can still use it in conjunction with an SPF product of any kind. — 9 years, 5 months agoZuleikha | 19 reviews

Earbits brings its music to iOS
iOS comes with its own built-in music solution in the form of iTunes, but sadly for Apple, not every customer wishes to use it, or at least not full-time. But the mobile platform allows other services to compete for your ear and now one which has already established a presence on both the web and Android is making its case to iOS users.
Earbits, an online radio and music marketing platform, is available worldwide, aiming to showcase independent artists, and promising music from more than 12,000 musicians. Much like other similar services, Earbits works on recommendations, with a premise of allowing the customer to discover new music based on current tastes. It does so not only by using what you listen to via the service, but also by examining songs stored on your device.
"Consumers can play Earbits curated channels or songs on their mobile devices, switching seamlessly between their music and Earbits' catalog. Unlike other streaming music apps, the Earbits iPhone and iPad app is available worldwide and without commercial interruptions", the music service explains.
"The Earbits Radio iOS app puts artists in the center of the experience, providing simple ways for listeners to engage with them", claims CEO Joe Flores.
The service, which was started back in 2010, is making its first foray into the iOS world, but has become established on other platforms already. Customers can grab the app now from iTunes.

Manchester, United Kingdom, 2008/10/29 - RTS Life Science announces new technical paper discussing volume and precipitate identification of samples in storage.
RTS Life Science, a worldwide supplier of automated sample management and drug delivery testing systems, today announces the availability of a new free of charge technical paper about the analysis of sample volumes in a store. Entitled Applying Vision Technology to Calculate the Volume of Sample in a Tube, the informative poster discusses the benefits of RTS innovative vision system technology. The poster is now available free of charge in downloadable PDF format via the website or via e-mail.
Presented for the first time at the Drug Discovery 2008 conference in September, the technical poster is authored by Julio Maher, Simon Sheard, David Harding and Sue Jones of RTS Life Science. The detailed poster describes how RTS partnered with a major pharmaceutical company to upgrade its tube store with a vision system that routinely and accurately audits tubes to calculate sample volumes and identify any particulate matter.
Calculating the precise volume of a residual sample in a tube has always been an inexact science. Traditional methods include weighing, software or manual analysis. All of these techniques can prove both time consuming and inaccurate. RTS Life Sciences technical paper demonstrates how a large pharmaceutical company eliminated these lengthy approaches by incorporating novel vision system technology into its sample store. Using a camera mounted in the store, RTS implemented an image analysis stage between sample storage and picking that allowed the volume of liquid in the tubes to be calculated to an accuracy of +/- 10ul.
By applying vision technology to its tube store, the pharmaceutical company can now be confident about the volume of samples in the tubes it receives. As well as eliminating previous lengthy manual steps, the unique vision system technology also alerts the customer to tubes where compounds have precipitated out of solution.
With 25 years of experience delivering automation solutions, RTS Life Science is a major supplier of large scale sample storage and testing within the laboratory environment. For more information about RTS Life Science or to download the poster in PDF format please visit the website or alternatively please e-mail lifescience.info[.]rts-group.com.

Kim Kardashian 'still doesn't trust Blac Chyna'
Kim Kardashian allegedly accompanied Blac Chyna to the doctor's office to make sure she wasn't faking her pregnancy.
Kim Kardashian is reportedly less than delighted by the news that her brother Rob is set to become a father with fiancee Blac Chyna.
While Blac shared the happy news with the Kardashian family weeks ago, a mistrustful Kim allegedly made a show of befriending the glamour model so she could accompany her to a gynaecologist in Los Angeles to confirm she wasn't faking it.
"Chyna told Rob's family a few weeks back, but Kim wanted to make sure she wasn't faking it," a source told Britain's Heat magazine.
"Kim doesn't trust Chyna, so she acted like she was taking her under her wing and offered to pay for her to go to the same OB-GYN (Obstetrician-Gynaecologist) as she used for (her son) Saint."
Once it was confirmed that Blac was telling the truth, the source said Kim is now left with no choice but to "make nice for the sake of Rob and her niece and nephew".
Blac is already a mother to son King Cairo, three, by ex-boyfriend Tyga, who recently split from Kim's half-sister Kylie Jenner.
Blac and Rob got engaged in April (16) after just three months together. The pair made their red carpet debut as a couple at an event to celebrate Blac's birthday and the launch of her emoji app Chymojis in Las Vegas earlier in May (16), where the blonde star revealed Kim has been giving her pregnancy tips.
However, the insider says Kim's interest in Blac's pregnancy doesn't mean that she and the reality star are firm friends now.
"No one in the Kardashian or Jenner family is thrilled about this baby as it means Chyna will now be around forever. Everyone's trying to be happy for Rob but it's so hard," explained the source.
Meanwhile Blac is extremely happy about her double joy of marriage and a baby on the horizon. And so keen is she to become a Kardashian that she's already moved to trademark what will be her marital name – Angela Renee Kardashian, reports TMZ.

Fischer's lovebirds are a delightful treat for birders planning a Tanzania wildlife safari. These colorful birds are typically seen in pairs, as they mate for life and stay close by the side of their partner. You will not likely see lovebirds mingling with other parrot species. While they have much love for one another, lovebirds tend to get into trouble with other parrots.
You'll be able to distinguish Fischer's lovebirds from other parrots by their coloration and diminutive size as well as their propensity to pair off. Fischer's lovebirds are only about six inches tall and have vibrant green bodies with splashes of blue feathers in the wings and tail. The yellow collar and olive green head offset the brilliant red beak, which is surrounded by orange feathers. The eyes pop as well, as the skin around them is white and featherless.
These birds tend to spend their time in higher elevation grasslands and savannahs of northern Tanzania. This is the only place where this particular species of lovebird occurs naturally, but there have been sightings of Fischer's lovebirds in other areas of Africa. They tend to travel in small groups, but the size of their flocks can be bigger when they live near a more widespread food supply. Lovebirds eat seeds, fruits and grains and never stray far from the safety of thorny bushes when they are feeding. During breeding season, these lovebirds take to the trees, finding hollows in which to build their nests. They have also been known to nest in cliffs and buildings. A lovebird will lay between three and eight eggs at a time and the chicks will be born about three weeks later. It takes another five weeks before the babies are ready to leave the nest.
IUCN Redlist categorizes this bird species as critically endangered mainly because the birds were hunted and captured to be exported around the world as pets. While this practice has been put to a stop, the wild population is still small enough to be threatened. Fischer's lovebirds are most commonly spotted at the Ndutu and Serengeti National Parks in Tanzania.

Helmet cover on a hardhat?
Sometimes at work I have to wear a hardhat and I was thinking of changing it up a bit, I was wondering if an M1 helmet cover would even come close to fitting it?
I dont have dimensions on the hardhat and I realize that there are a ton of different sizes, just wondering if the covers have adjustment to them and what you guys think. :D
Don't. A hardhat has to meet a number of criteria other than impact resistance to meet the ANSI standard for protective headgear. It includes resistance to electrical current and fire resistance. leave your skid lid alone!
What is a "Skid Lid"? Oh, I know you mean "Brain Bucket"!:D

Did Tripp Palin Use a Homophobic Slur on Bristol Palin's Reality Show?
Tripp Palin has been famous since before he was born. The nation first learned about Bristol Palin's son when John McCain surprisingly made her mother, Sarah Palin, his presidential running mate in 2008. At the time, Bristol was 17 and pregnant with Tripp and many wondered how that would play out politically.
We haven't heard a whole lot from Tripp since. Which isn't surprising, considering he has yet to turn four. But a word he uttered on last week's episode of the reality show 'Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp' has just brought him back into the spotlight.
Read on to hear what the little tyke said in this NSFW clip.
Subscribe to TheFW on
It sounds an awful lot like Tripp called his aunt Willow Palin a homophobic slur that rhymes with "maggot" in that clip. However, it's hard to tell for sure because the word is mostly bleeped out.
Matt Lutz, showrunner for 'Life's a Tripp,' disputes this interpretation. In an email he sent to Gawker he writes that he's reviewed the raw video multiple times and is sure Tripp is using another bleep-able F-word that rhymes with "mucker."
What do you think? We guess Lutz's explanation does make more sense. Even a three-and-a-half-year-old knows his aunt isn't a bundle of sticks and twigs.

This is a perplexing product indeed... yet as most of them out there - it either works for you or doesn't.
For me it - takes time to appreciate it. In the beginning the oil seemed far too heavy as a day moisturizer. But few details in the way of using it are crucial: first of all - to apply the product on the face STRAIGHT after the toner, whilst the face is still wet. That aids the absorption.
Secondly - is to to make sure that the oil is being spread in a very small amount with light patting, starting with the cheeks and sides of the face, getting to the T Zone last, to make sure it gets the least amount of oil.
After the correct usage I noticed that my skin really stoped to overproduce the oil during the day.

This is the absolute worst product if you a problem with acne. At first my skin was so nice after using this oil and then I got clogged pores, pimples. I am trying to return this to Dr. Hauschka - quite expensive and I only used it 8 times.

Note that this product is now called Dr. Hauschka Clarifying Day Oil.
I have skin that's miraculously oily and dry at the same time, with light acne (more during that time of the month) and I just love this product. Paula Begoun of Paula's Choice ("The Cosmetics Cop") has a low rating for this, because of supposedly skin-irritating fragrances, or some such. I find it to be the opposite - it is very skin calming, non-irritating, and gentle, while at the same time doing a very good job of fighting acne. It takes about a week for your skin to calm down and then it just stops producing so much oil and pimples.
I could not recommend this highly enough, it's one of my all-time favorite products.

I have a mini version of this that lasts for a long time. i'm still playing with it but I prefer mixing it (just a tiny drop) with foundation or day cream. using too much makes me oily. this mini version will last me for a year or more. not sure it controls the oil but foundation mixed with the drop of this oil blends like silk and it smells nice.

When I was younger I had oily skin with occasional monthly pimples. At a certain point I wanted to use more natural products and went for Dr. Hauschka. The regimel included cleaning cream, tonic and this oil. Using there products gave me quite severe acne.
I went to dermatologist and received prescription creams that cleared my skin.

I'm loving this oil! I usually mix my own, but this formula is something special. I have been using oils for years and had settled into using pure passionfruit seed oil. Love it still, but needed a bit more treatment around the t-zone thanks to bloody hormones. I use it day and night and I love how my skin feels less goopy without feeling tight. My sun-damaged skin on my neck (think recently plucked chicken) is smoother and less red. (Not what it promises to deliver, but I'm happy to run with it!!!) I love the fragrance - it's sort of floral/herbally green. Kind of thing I would choose in a perfume anyway. I bought it yesterday for 22 euros. It's in a 30ml bottle, and as I only use 1-2 drops, it will last for ages. I think it will travel well, too.

I am a big fan of oils on my face and body and this is one of my favourites. It smells beautifully with sweet, jasmine or ylang ylang like smell (although none of these are listed as an ingredient so it is clearly something else on the list but nethertheless very pleasant and soothing), not overpoweringly so and it does not cost an arm and a leg (looking at you Rodin and Marula oils!) and it is a real pleasure to use.
I am usually fighting with a dry, parched skin but somehow this oil works for me in my t-zone which I usually get congested and shiny. I am using it all over my face and neck overnight and in the morning I am waking up with a nicely plumped up skin although I sometimes need to add their Rose Cream on top (especially under eyes) as this oil has a mild astringent effect on me.
I am a bit wary of using it for the day as I've read that carrot oil might be photosensitive plus I have no idea how it would behave in a combination with my chemical sunscreen.
I do recommend going first with a mini version (5 ml bottle is really cute, affordable and lasts a good couple of weeks!) and then upgrade with the full sized product if you like it.
I promised myself to repurchase it soon but it might be a mini version next as I still have a big bottle of Clarins oil to get my hands onto and Hauschka will have to wait.

It's been about 5 months since I first bought this oil and I am still glad I have it on my bathroom counter ready to use. I went all out and bought the entire Dr. H acne skin care regime and liked it at first. After 5 weeks though not all the products were for me (I can do without lavender moor bath and the cleansing cream, and am debating about the toner) I stopped using the oil in summer since it was just too much for humid weather and my acne prone/pity-folliculitis prone skin but now that fall is back Im starting to use it again and am happy with the results.
A little really goes a long way for now, I use a small drop smoothed out in my hands and then press it on my face, just to coat the skin. More oil than that and my skin won't absorb it thus making for a shinny face. As the weather gets colder and drier Ill use more.
The only other face oil I have liked is Dr Ci Labo's "repair oil" which is similar and more dry, but I like Dr. H's better since it seems to help my acne. I know it sounds weird to put oil on oily skin but drying skin out to "kill" the acne and using oil free moisturizers was the recommended course of action from every dermatologist I saw! It seemed crazy back then to put oil on an acne grease face�but years later I started using non oil free moisturizers and liked how my skin reacted, it was hit or miss a lot but I found Ci Labo's repair oil which I used for 3 years before switching to Dr H's recently. I still take doctors' advice but knowing my own skin better now I adjust it to how I know my skin will react best. For example I went in for acne and pityrosporum folliculitis and my doc recommended washing but no moisturizers, I followed his advice for a week or so but my skin started over producing sebum so I started to adjust back to my old moisturizers and used the drying prescription cream when my skin would get bad. After a few weeks my skin balanced out with my tailored regime.
All in all I think this oil is worth a try. It lasts a long while, and is worth the higher price tag since the ingredients are high quality. The packaging is sturdy, but is glass so be careful about dropping it on the floor or in the sink.
My last advice is not to be afraid to tailor a skin routine for you, even if it goes against your doctors advice. Doctors don't always know best, you have known your body and your skin the longest and chances are you know what's best for it and what it needs and doesn't. Don't be afraid to mix and match, I went all out and did the whole Dr. H acne routine but after spending a lot of money I came to realize the routine all together was too moisturizing, and not putting on a moisturizer at night (per Dr. H's skin care advice) wasn't working for me.

It works perfectly on my combination clog-prone skin. It absorbs quickly and have a lovely herbal smell. It doesn't make me greasy even in the hot weather. I noticed that my skin were more calmer and most of the clogged pores were gone. I would absolutely buy it again.

Problem is that if we ask to remove the loop-aes udebs for .30 for unstable (which is the only real option ATM), they would also be removed from testing. That would break loop-aes support for netboot installs and weekly built CDs based on the alpha1 release. I would personally prefer the problem to remain for daily images over breaking things for the alpha1 release. The crypto people will hopefully come up with some solution for loop-aes support with .32 kernels before Squeeze. But if there is no solution before the next D-I release, we will have to ask for removal of the loop-aes udebs when preparing that release. Note that Luks based encryption is not affected.

Our Merchandising Managers are back from the PPAI tradeshow out in Vegas, and they've returned with lots of new pictures and stories about what to expect this year. For a sneak peek about all the trends they'll be blogging about in the near future check out the Facebook album they created here.
So it's with this spirit of "new-ness" that I've decided to take a quick break from my usual blogging style of pointing out items new and old on our website and how they could be applied to different promotional campaigns. I'm taking a cue from our ever awesome Pinterest account and one board in specific, the Not a Promotional Product… Yet board.
While I try to keep in under wraps in my everyday work life… my dog is a very big part of my life. I drove 16 hours in 2 days just to pick him up from my parents house as soon as I got my first apartment, which was specifically chosen for it's dog friendly policies and it's proximity to the local park. Much like the late and great Gilda Radner of SNL fame "I became one of those people who show you endless pictures of their dog, and all the pictures look alike". I take my pup very seriously and he is the subject of most my photography. So I gave an inner happy shout when we updated our Pets category with everything from new waste bag dispenser to perfectly soft doggy t-shirts. But I'm hoping it doesn't stop there! This water fountain would be great for any pet owner, though I'm pretty sure my own would manage to make a mess.
One of my personal goals this year is to be more creative, whether it's idea for the location of my next impromptu trip or where I'd like to take my next set of pictures at, I want to always have a place nearby to jot down my thoughts. And sometimes, inspiration decides to strike as I'm singing my personal rendition on the Top 40 in the shower. That's where the Waterproof Notepad would be a good thing to have nearby. Until then, I'll make do with the heavy duty Spiral Stone Paper Notebook that, like the name suggest, is made out of natural stones and is waterproof, tear resistant, and smudge proof. So while I can't hang it in my shower, I can pull it out during a rain storm!

Last but no least, like most everyone else who makes resolutions, I want to be a little more conscious about what I'm feeding to my body. I'm trying to cut out sodas, limiting my coffee, and trying to find a little caffeine boost in a better place. Not only is a cup of hot tea perfect for a cold winter afternoon, depending on what tea blend you choose it could deliver a necessary bit of caffeine to power you through the rest of your day. And, like a little kid who needs food coloring of light flavoring in order to drink water, I need to make my tea experiences fun. But I could always use our new TakeOut Tumbler Infuser to make my water a flavorful treat.
Again, these are all items I found from our Pinterest that were inspiring, even if they aren't exactly promotional products, and while we may not have exactly these items on our site it's easy to find an item that gives off the same vibe: whether it's a new dog bowl, tough as nails paper, or a new infuser. But as always, keep checking back to see what new cool stuff we add or leave me a comment about what you look forward to seeing in the promotional products world!
