I wasn't sure how kid-friendly MOCA's 'Under the Big Black Sun: California Art 1974–1981' was going to be compared to the wildly colorful and blockbuster success of 'Art in the Streets'. Aside from a few exhibits guards advised I steer her away from, Lulu seemed to really enjoy the survey exhibition, stopping a long time to observe French artist, Guy de Cointet's installation. The performance video captured her attention and she stood to watch and listen for awhile. I'm not sure she understood any of it, but who's to guess? Lulu also openly enjoyed the punk-rock segment.
Even though a lot of the work was young-spirited, it really wasn't for the young. Needless to say, I'll keep bringing Lulu back to the museum until she doesn't want to go on her own accord.

Lets start at the beginning..
I always said 'I would never get my ears pierced until I found cool enough earrings'. I'd made it into my 20's without ever feeling the need to hang things from my ears. Then, thanks to a uni friend of mine Emma Chandler, I received my first pair of novelty earrings (pictured below) that I deemed cool enough to justified getting my ears pierced.
I still remember the day! I got them both done at once because I hate needles & decided to just get it over with! They said it would 'just feel like a bee sting'. Throughout my childhood (back when I actually used to spend time out in the sun) I got stung by many bees. And that was not like bees at all! The worst part however was having the boring earrings in for a while before I could wear my new awesome ones!
Little did I know back then that this would spark an obsession that has only escalated over the years! I've gone from occasionally finding the odd pair of earrings here & there to actively seeking out the most bizarre & ridiculous I can get my hands on. I have also received many a pair from awesome people along the way - spurring on this obsession even more!
Over the past few years I randomly began photographing my collection for no particular reason other than to share with my friends on facebook. However recently I've started to compile the images of my beloved collection here because I wanted to share my collection with the internets.
Now I feel the need to go beyond just sharing photos and that brings us here (with quite a bit of encouragement from a few friends! Cheers guys!) Look at this if you will as a companion piece & backstory behind the earrings. I'll also include some of the cool stuff I own :) because it's cool stuff! (That way if something ever happens to any of it I can always look back on here & remember all the fun times we had.)
So welcome to my little obscure corner of the internets! I hope you enjoy my collection as much as I do!

[Insert Organization] Kicks Off Stay in Circulation Week in [Insert location], Part of a National Campaign to Raise Awareness about Peripheral Arterial Disease (P.A.D.)
One in 20 Adults Over Age 50 has P.A.D.—A Disease that Raises the Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke
CITY, STATE – [Insert Organization] announced today the kick-off of Stay in Circulation Week, a week of activities aimed at increasing public awareness about peripheral arterial disease (P.A.D.). Local events including [insert examples of events] will take place throughout the week. This effort is part of Stay in Circulation: Take Steps to Learn About P.A.D., a national awareness campaign from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute aimed at helping adults over the age of 50 learn about P.A.D.
"Stay in Circulation Week is an opportunity for our community to learn about P.A.D. and the steps everyone can take to reduce their risk for this deadly disease," said [insert Organization contact]. "We're excited to be part of the national effort to raise awareness about P.A.D. and to help Americans stay in circulation and continue to enjoy life."
P.A.D., a common and treatable disease, is on the rise among midlife and older Americans. In the United States, more than 8 million Americans suffer from P.A.D., which develops when leg arteries become clogged with plaque—fatty deposits that limit blood flow to the legs. Just like clogged arteries in the heart, clogged arteries in the legs raise the risk of heart attack and stroke. Many of those with P.A.D. do not experience symptoms and often do not readily seek treatment. Timely detection and treatment of P.A.D. can restore mobility; decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke; and possibly save lives.
P.A.D. is caused by the same risk factors that lead to heart disease. People who are at risk for P.A.D. include anyone over the age of 50, especially African Americans; those who smoke or who have smoked; and those who have diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, or a personal or family history of vascular disease, heart attack, or stroke.
[Insert Organization boilerplate.]
For more information about Stay in Circulation Week events in [insert name of city/town/area], visit [insert Organization Web site].
Stay in Circulation: Take Steps to Learn About P.A.D. is a national awareness campaign to increase public and health care provider awareness about peripheral arterial disease (P.A.D.) and its association with other cardiovascular diseases. The campaign is sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute—part of the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services—in cooperation with the P.A.D. Coalition, an alliance of national organizations and professional societies united to improve the health and health care of people with P.A.D. For more information, visit www.aboutpad.org.

Adding Style and Function to Your Bathroom
By: Danny Lipford
Bathroom remodels come in all shapes and sizes, from minor facelifts to complete makeovers. If gutting a dated bathroom and starting from scratch isn't in your budget, there are lots of other options available to achieve a new look without breaking the bank.
Begin your minor bathroom remodel by removing any dated wallpaper and painting the room a fresh, new color. Next, replace bathroom accessories—such as towel racks, toilet paper holders, and soap dishes—with ones that have a more stylish design and finish, such as brushed nickel.
Bathroom Faucet Upgrade
Replacing your sink faucet can go a long way toward improving both the look and function of your bathroom. When shopping for a new faucet, be sure to choose a quality model that has brass inner working to provide years of trouble free service.To keep your new faucet clean longer, consider a Moen faucet with built-in Microban® antimicrobial protection to help inhibit the growth of stain causing bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Microban protection continuously works to help keep the faucet clean and won't wash off or wear away during normal use.
Microban protection is available on the Moen Ashville bathroom faucet—which features a classic, two-handle design—as well as the Walden single-handle kitchen faucet. Both faucets are available at The Home Depot in Moen's exclusive Spot Resist™ stainless steel finish, which resists fingerprints and water spots.

Furniture Style Bathroom Vanity
Another great upgrade that can really make a bold statement and enhance the décor of your bathroom is replacing the bathroom vanity.Furniture style vanities, such as those made by Virtu USA, have become more and more popular in recent years, compared to traditional built-in bathroom vanities.
Virtu USA bathroom vanities are individually crafted from quality materials. They come in a wide range of styles and finishes, from time honored traditional to sleek ultra modern.
Bathroom vanities from Virtu USA provide plenty of storage space with smooth action pullout drawers and easy closing doors. Sink tops are available in both natural stone and manmade materials.

Tankless Hot Water HeaterTo make your bathroom experience more enjoyable and reduce your monthly utility bills, consider replacing your standard tank type water heater with an energy efficient tankless model from Rinnai.
Unlike tank water heaters, which have to keep a supply of water heated even when not in use, tankless water heaters heat water only when needed and provide an endless supply of hot water that's perfect for taking long, lazy showers or filling large garden tubs.
Tankless water heaters from Rinnai have a lifespan of up to 20 years, much longer than that of traditional tank type water heaters. The smaller footprint allows Rinnai tankless hot water heaters to be mounted on a wall either inside or out.

I want to remove an old bathtub and install a combination tub/shower. The problem is, I have a window above the tub where the shower paneling will be placed. Is it possible to install a small tilt out window above the paneling for venting ? My house is brick and the window opening is 32″ X 42 1/2″ outside. Please advise what to do.
Thank you…..Jim L.

I purchased a used mobile home in 2005. The home was manufactured in 1995. Both of the bathrooms are bad. The one in the master bedroom is unusable. The other is almost as bad. The kitchen is also in bad shape. Would it be possible to take care of three rooms for less than 20,000?

The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has issued Decision No.2788, replacing Decision No.21, on interest rates in 2015 for housing loans within the housing support package, in which interest rates remain unchanged.
The VND30 trillion ($1.43 billion) housing support package was launched in January 2013 with loans bearing an interest rate of 6 per cent per annum, with the package aimed at removing difficulties in the construction and real estate industries. More than a year of implementation, however, loan disbursement was low. A report from the Ministry of Construction said that as at October 15, 2014, the central bank had disbursed just VND3.58 trillion ($170.46 million), or 12 per cent of funds in the package. This prompted the government to loosen lending conditions.
Since August 21, 2014, households and individuals have been able to access loans with 15-year terms instead of ten-year terms. The potential applicant pool was also expanded. Low-income earning individuals facing difficulties in taking out commercial loans for housing (including house and land) will be able to access loans if the purchase does not exceed VND1.05 billion ($49,120). Urban dwellers with land but not the financial capacity to build, renovate or repair the house can also access loans.
The SBV has also indicated that more commercial banks will become involved in the package.

Environment Minister Hon. Wayne Panton says there's no room for complacency when it comes to ensuring our marine environment is safe.
The minister was discussing the recent damage to Eden Rock by a cargo ship on last night's The Panel. The owners of Saga have accepted liability for the damage.
This is not the only instance of marine life damage by a ship over the years. The minister says it's easy to become complacent with the number of ships in and out of the port, which is why vigilance must be maintained.

awesome movie. :)
I read a few of the books and they are short and entertaining. This movie has a simple plot, but it's cute. The casting was well done; Emma Roberts is a good Nancy and Max Thieriot made a cute boyfriend for her. I also liked seeing the actresses they chose for Nancy's friends -- all very popular on Nickelodeon/ Disney Channel 5-10 years ago.
i have watched this sooo many times loved it !!
This was a very cute movie. Even my 11 year old son liked it and he gave it the very good rating.
this is the best mystery movie ever.it is recommended for any age old or young.i would rate this a 100 out of 100.Emily Roberts is a very good actress.
Loved this movie!!! Even my Mom stopped to watch it, and asked me what had happened. Totally, completely, incredibly awesome!!!!!
this is a fantastic fabulous movie iv seen it alot

Carson Drew: Phone call. Long distance from Scotland. Something about the Loch Ness Monster and some missing diamonds.
Nancy Drew: Another case!
Nancy Drew: Ned can I ask you a question?
Ned Nickerson: Mhm.
Nancy Drew: Can you tell when a girl looks at you and is thinking how much she likes you and is wondering if you like her and thinking how important it is for you to say how you feel before she says anything more about how she feels about you or anyone else they might be jealous of because she's already said how she feels how she's said in her own way?
Ned Nickerson: Uh, can you repeat the question?
NoticesAdd Notices
Frightening or Intense Scenes: There are definitely some frightening and intense scenes in this movie (it is a mystery movie), when "ghosts" appear, when a bomb explodes, and when Nancy is captured by bad guys.
Other: Ned in the end kisses Nancy. Just for the people who disagree with that.

Simon Rabinovitch in Nanjing for the Financial Times gives us another example of the Chinapocalypse genre, looking at how the city's GDP has been powered by furious construction of new metro lines:
The Chinese government has been talking for years about rebalancing the economy to unleash more consumption and it has made some progress toward that goal, but over the past few months it fell back on investment to head off the risk of a slowdown.
Investment in fixed assets such as rail lines and apartment towers accounted for 56 per cent of the country's growth in the third quarter.
But Nanjing, a city of 8m people, also underscores the limits of this economic model. Bills are starting to come due on Nanjing's ambitious subway plans and the government says it cannot fund the expansion without raising ticket prices.
So a few points on this. Right now Nanjing has a two line Metro system. When the current stimulus binge is over, it'll be a six line system. That's for a city whose population is somewhat larger than the metropolitan area of Madrid. Madrid has a 13 line metro system, that serves about 630 million riders annually. Nanjing's existing two-line system serves about 340 million riders a year. So expansion to six lines is not some kind of obvious overindulgence in mass transit. But the system is going to need to raise fares in order to increase its revenue base. And guess what happens when a transportation operator raises fares and increases revenue? Household consumption goes up!
You invest to do a better job of serving your customers, and then with a better product to offer the customers consume more.
Now I don't know anything about Nanjing and it's possible that these four new lines are all hideously misdesigned and the whole project is going to turn out to be a fiasco. But the bare facts of the story sound like a large recently-poor city is investing a ton of money in physical infrastructure because it's badly under-endowed with infrastructure, and as that infrastructure comes into place the local economy will pivot away from investment (in new infrastructure) to consumption (of the services the infrastructure provides) which is exactly what you would expect to see happen.

|175 not out: Scottish Church College, Calcutta
Old is gold
As part of the 175th year celebration of the Scottish Church College, a cultural evening was organised by the former and present college staff at Rangana Theatre on July 31. Students too participated in the glorious evening. Manoj Mitra, the famous playwright, director and actor, and an ex-student of the college, was felicitated on this occasion. After the felicitation, we staged a play based on Ogo Badhu Sundari, that starred Uttam Kumar and Santosh Dutta.
The play was a huge hit and the performance of the teaching and non-teaching staff was highly appreciated.

Meeting a legend
On July 18, aspiring journalists of the new batch of our college had the opportunity to interact with Dr Mario R. Garcia, a legend in the field of journalism and the CEO of Garcia Media. He is credited with designing famous newspapers around the world including The Wall Street Journal and The Hindu.
During his lecture session, he stressed that in journalistic writing ?less is best? as an eye-track research has suggested that new media consumers are mere ?scanners of newspapers?. According to him this is both the ?best? and the ?most challenging? time for journalists and that now one ?just cannot survive writing narratives?, one needs to be a ?storyteller?.
He also told the students to approach criticism in a professional and practical manner and not to give up at any point. The 2006 session of Asian College of Journalism (ACJ) has certainly got off to a flying start.

Destination West
It was a lazy Sunday morning on July 30. The weather was gloomy and it was drizzling when we reached Gorky Sadan to attend the Princeton Review seminar on ?Destination Abroad ? Test Taking and Applications? presented by Careergraph. It was a packed house. The speaker gave us invaluable advice on cracking the GRE, GMAT and SAT.
She gave hope to even average students by stating that the tests were all about techniques and strategies and not about content. Like so many others, it has always been my dream to go to the US to pursue my MS degree. However, the whole process of applying to foreign universities had always seemed like a daunting task. But now, thanks to the seminar, I think I know the path I should take to realise my dream.

Double-clad fibers with a doped single-mode core and a noncylindrical multimode chaotic cladding are shown to provide optimal pump-power absorption in power amplifiers. Based on the chaotic dynamics of rays in such fibers, we propose a quantitative theory for the pump-absorption ratio and favorably compare the predictions of the theory with numerical results obtained through an adapted beam-propagation scheme.

Dave Woolford, who in well-chosen prose brought Blade readers a thorough view of the game, the match, the race during more than 39 years as a staff sports writer, died Friday in his Fort Myers, Fla., home. He was 78.
The cause of death was not yet known, his wife, Sue, said. The last nine years, he underwent chemotherapy for myelodysplastic syndrome, which affects blood cell production.
BLADE Enlarge
Mr. Woolford, a longtime Maumee resident, covered Mid-American Conference sports at the University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University and then Big Ten football and basketball. He'd been a voter for the Heisman Trophy and coordinated voting in Ohio for that college football honor. But his real love was auto racing.
Mr. Woolford covered auto racing for 36 years at The Blade. He won more than three dozen writing awards and was a former auto racing and motor sports writer of the year. He also belonged to the panel that each year chooses a driver of the year.
"Dave Woolford was one of the original good guys in motor sports journalism," said Bobby Unser, a three-time Indianapolis 500 winner who broke the 200 mph mark at Michigan International Speedway. "He always asked really, really good questions, was a good listener, and had a passion for motor sports. He truly loved racing and the drivers respected him, for sure."
For a 1982 piece about advances that made 200 mph commonplace at the Indy 500, Mr. Woolford wrote, "What was once a race where men drove their cars is now a race where the cars drive the men."
John Robinson Block, Blade publisher and editor-in-chief, said Mr. Woolford "was a gentlemen's sports reporter. I'm proud that he was at The Blade."
Mr. Woolford, hired by The Blade full time in 1964 to cover hockey, retired from the newspaper in April, 2003, after 39 years and four months on the job, Dave Hackenberg calculated in a column about his colleague's departure as the end of an era.
Mr. Woolford "covered virtually every sport at every level through nearly four decades of service. He did it with class, dignity, and professionalism, putting the same effort and attention to detail into his final bylined story as he did his first.
"Football players retire when they lose a step, baseball players when they lose their eye, hockey players when they're out of teeth. Dave Woolford never lost a thing," wrote Mr. Hackenberg, who retired in 2016.
Mr. Woolford took the job seriously, Mr. Hackenberg said Saturday, "but had more fun doing it than just about anybody I've been around. When you walked into work a shift in the office and Woolford was there, you knew you were going to have a good night."
On assignment, he was meticulous, took his time, and "always met deadline," said Dennis Horger, a retired sports department colleague. "I would call him a craftsman as a writer. No one put more effort into a story each day than Dave Woolford."
"Dave was as likable a newspaper guy as ever interviewed a celebrity or a nobody and as ever typed a witty phrase or catchy lead sentence," said Mike Tressler, who recalled that they were Blade sports department rookies together. "Dave was my first and best friend at The Blade."
Covering a beat, day by day, Mr. Woolford got to know the minor league hockey players and the race drivers, and in turn they bared their souls to him, said John Gugger, a former Blade sports columnist.
"He was a tough guy to follow, because he had the rapport with the players and the insight," said Mr. Gugger, his successor on the hockey beat.
He was born Jan. 31, 1940, and adopted a year later by Helen and Roy Woolford. His father was a printer for The Blade and the former Toledo Times and was president of his local of the International Typographical Union.
He was a 1958 graduate of Libbey High School and an inductee of its hall of fame. He received a bachelor's degree from UT, where he was a sports writer and then sports editor of the Collegian. He worked summers in Oregon as a forest firefighter to pay for college.
He was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Maumee, and Gateway Trinity Lutheran Church, Fort Myers.
Surviving are his wife, the former Susan Steele, whom he married May 23, 1964; sons Wade and Bruce Woolford; daughter, Wendy Howe, and nine grandchildren.
Arrangements are pending at the Maison-Dardenne-Walker Funeral Home, Maumee.
The family suggests tributes to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Maumee, or a charity of the donor's choice.

Discussion in 'White Hat SEO' started by nickalexkrier, Sep 20, 2012.
Just wondering if anyone knows if popups effect ranking in google?
As for I know, enduser dislikes popup, so it may lead you to have bounce rate. Obviously bounce rate will effect your SERP.
So my answer would be YES.
Yes, they do unless you use a lightbox style of popup.
Its probably safe to say that yes, popups negatively affect your rankings. Google disapproves ads for landing pages that have popups, their tool bar has a popup blocker built in and popups generally do not contain quality content.
Check out this post on why Google may not like popups,
Hope that helps,

Rita Ora and Rob Kardashian Get Fake Name Tattoos
Rita Ora and boyfriend Rob Kardashian tried to trick the 'net with a photo of fake tattoos. Splayed across their fingers, hers read " ROB K" while his read "RITA," and the caption read: "Shit got crazy tonight… What can I say… #tatmynameonya".
Naturally, the Twitterverse went nuts over the (fading) ink and über cute display of affection, but Rita updated us all hours later saying:
Although we know it's real between Rita and Rob, they haven't quite inked their commitment…yet.

Today's PSA is brought to you by a concerned audience for the benefit of single people, or people who do not live with their significant other. This threat is called the late night texties and can afflict us all. It happens late at night, when you're sitting watching tv or whatever, thinking about the person you'd most like to be with, playing up that dream in your head...we've all been there...I don't think I need to go on. And then you get this great idea, hey I can just text them! Texting is harmless because they don't have to hear the fear and nervousness in my voice, and because of that I can say exactly what I'm thinking with no filter on how this will look in the morning. It's the perfect crime! No kids. NO! Don't do it! Save yourselves! Resist the urge to share your hopes and dreams with someone you hardly know. Ya you're being flirty and fun and way more outgoing than you normally are, but you're coming off a little weird. Granted there are times when this can actually help your relationship, maybe after you've talked to the person more than once in a real live conversation, but mostly, you come off just a little bit creepy because you're thinking about that person a lot and you're telling them everything you're thinking. It's like drunk texting, but worse because you're coherent. Just say no to the late night texties.
*Ashamed as I am to admit this, I have actually done this so it's not totally bratty of me to say...haha it worked once and disasterously not other times.*

Thoughts of the Day
So today's post is separated into my thoughts of the past few days. They're incredibly random but that's just how I work I guess... Ha I have random thoughts during the day and since I have no one to tell them to they just get logged away until I can write there here : ).
I have lived in two places in my life, New Mexico the driest place in the country, and Arizona the hottest place in the country. And although AZ is more humid than New Mex, come on, who are we kidding, it's so dang hot it doesn't matter. In fact, that there is any humidity at all really amazes me, you'd think water would be smarter than to hang around in that state. (ps this is not a bash on AZ, I love it there, but it's hot) But that's beside the point. The point is, that now I live in Michigan. Great Lake territory, the great North, whatever you want to call it, it is super humid up here. And it hasn't even been that humid since I've been here, weird summer I guess. But yesterday was different. Yesterday it was cloudy all day and rained in the afternoon, so really humid. I didn't realize this. I did my hair all up nice and then went outside and immediately regretted that I didn't have a hair tie so I could just pull my mess of hair back and forget that I had even showered. Because it was a disaster. So lesson learned...haha from now on I'll have to be more creative with my hair. Although I suppose it didn't look too bad...I don't know though because I have no one here to give me an opinion of it. *Cue singing of "I feel pretty, oh so pretty..."*
Regional Cliches
Cliches, ya know I love them. They work because they are true and even though we make fun of them relentlessly, they're true. That being said, they are at times the things that motivate me to wanting to punch people right in the face. I am so unbelievably tired of meeting new people and having them ask me if I like it here, yes I do, and then follow up with, oh just wait until the winter. It's like they're rooting for me to hate myself in the winter because I chose to come to this miserable state. How dare you even think of liking it here! The winters are terrible! Get depressed now! You have no shot at even having the will to live once October comes around. I'm sure they're just being good nice citizens warning me that Michigan has harsh winters. Well thaaaannnkkks, I got that part. We can move on to other topics. I've even tried saying, oh no I am excited about the winter, I love cold weather and I love the snow. Ha. HAHAHAHA. No they say, you don't know yourself, you sad naive little girl, what could you possibly know. There's no way to like this. So while I'm thinking of punching them in the face for the mere case of being in the wrong time after being the 10000th person to spew the same regional cliche, they punch me in the face for thinking I might actually like the cold. I know this happens in every place to every new person who moves, so I am speaking out for the masses! Ha no, but really, cliches are cliches because they're not original. Don't think you are.
And for the record I am excited about winter here.
Boys on Motorcycles
Everyone has their stereotypical 'dream' girl/guy. Guys have cheerleaders, girl in the school uniform, whatever. Girls have firefighters, some girls like guys in other uniforms, I don't but I know many girls who do, and then the motorcycle guy. Monday I drove kind of around town and saw so many guys on motorcycles and yup, still the 'dream' guy. And it's all because you can't see there face. I'm sure 90% of those guys are not good looking at all, but you can't see that. All you see is the leather jacket, or nice arms if they happen to not be wearing a jacket, and so you get to create your own guy. And who doesn't like create-your-own? Plus they all seem to be such jerks, tailgating you when you're going 15 over the speed limit and then powering around you. They think they're cool and since you've inserted your own hot guy under the helmet, you think they're cool too. It's a fascinating adventure in imagination. However, like all dreams, you don't really want to achieve it. If I was dating a guy who rode a motorcycle, and I cared about him at all, I'm pretty sure the motorcycle would eventually have to be let go. Because they're pretty dang scary. I think it would be SO much fun to ride one and go incredibly fast as long as I never had to turn. That would ruin it for me. So me thinking about a guy I cared about turning, probably going faster than me, wouldn't make me happy. So while I don't want this particular dream to come true, it's still fun to think about.
More Men's Fashion
White sports socks, are never okay with black flip flops. Okay, maybe that's too restrictive. Socks are never okay with flip flops of any kind. Ah I'm so glad we got that cleared up.
Although it should never happen, it never fails to make me happy when it does. But honestly how is it comfortable? I've tried to wear socks with flips before, when I'm in a hurry to go outside and grab something and then come straight in. And it's not comfortable. Who wants sock bunched up between your toes? The point of flips is to let your feet be free! Why go and make them more confined by adding socks into the mix? Ah well, I'll just have to accept that I will never understand this.
My skills at Mindreading and the Amazing ability of Hot Chocolate to lift your Spirits
I'm not a good mindreader. It's unfortunate because I have a lot of other skills but mindreading is just not one of them. Honestly though I think it's a really rare skill. I'm almost completely positive that there are way more people who can't mind read, than those who can. That being said, I think it's a really safe to make the assumption that people you meet can't read your mind, and you should act accordingly. It saves everyone time and frustration. I promise. So unless you meet Cris Angel, go a head and just let me know what you want me to do and I'll be happy to do it. It will get done SOOO much faster than if you just wait for me to read your mind. K? Thanks.
As to hot chocolate, it really does make everything better. It's all warm and chocolatey and doesn't expect anything from you. It's fantastic.

Men's Fashion
Okay confession: I love shopping for guy's clothes. I like to think that I have good taste and outfitting guys in really good looking clothes is my favorite thing. I LOVE when my brother-in-law's birthday or Christmas comes along because I always get him clothes and I love shopping for him. Haha while my sister is the easiest to shop for, I like shopping for her husband best. Too bad I've never had a boyfriend who would let me shop for them... : ). I also can't wait for my little nephew to get to be about 10 or 12, because then his aunt is going to get him the most amazing looking wardrobe. He'll be the envy of all the girls he will probably want nothing to do with. So because of this skill that I think I have, I happen to pay attention to guys clothes a lot... and this is what I see yesterday. At my school there are a lot of older men. They're all professors of engineering, 95% of the professors are men, and they're in their late 40's or older. Yesterday I witnessed a man, probably late 50's or older, wearing not just man-pri's (man-capris), but manpri sweats. And then the classic engineer knee socks and loafers. With manpris. Honey. No. Actually the no part was not my first thought. Ha ha my first thought was wow, now I realize why engineers have a bad rap. Ha and then I started laughing. It made my day yesterday to see this old man.

I have no forgotten...
I have not forgotten that I have written nothing about my new habitation, including my house, my room, and Ann Arbor, but I am waiting on pictures from my mom's camera to do all that. Hopefully by the end of this week : ).

First day of Kindergarten
My amazing friend Kara warned me that coming to grad school would be discouraging, that I wouldn't know anything and everyone here was smarter than me. Ha boy, I was hoping I wouldn't have to learn this lesson the first day but I did. Well not really but I did get amazingly overloaded with information. I was kind of already overloaded moving in and unpacking and making decisions about how my furniture would go, and trying to figure out what direction is which in a town with no landmarks. And trust me, that's hard. But I'm getting better and better everyday. So today was my first day. I met with my advisor and then with the post doc that I would be working with. I got my new id card and I got a TON of information about what (I think) I'm going to be researching. It was totally overwhelming though because I don't have an office, I don't have a computer, and I don't know what I need to be doing right now. I kind of felt today like I needed to know what I was doing and start doing it, be self-motivated. It was just way to much information to process in such a short amount of time. But after I got home, I was able to talk to Ab, who just listened to me complain. And I got to talk to my dad who said the only thing that I should be able to do on the first day on my own was find the bathroom. Haha I need to ask questions and not be afraid of anything like that or that I don't know what I'm doing right now (this statement is just as much a statement as it is a mantra I have been telling myself all night)
On the upside I am still super excited to be starting this new thing and I'm excited about the research I'll be doing. And I have all these awesome people in my head who know what they're talking about and ones who are completely outside the situation and can give me an objective opinion on things! So for a first day it was a true first day - fun and new but whoa! Ha pretty sure it will get better though.

Oh Goodness!
So I had Father's and Mother's day covered, and my mom's birthday for that matter, I got them both presents and made sure it was all taken care of. But I was kind of busy and completely preoccupied and just stopped with the present. I was thinking a lot about leaving though at the time so I was thinking about those people and all the things my parents have given me, temporally and otherwise. So here's a little tribute beginning with my mom. One thing that continously amazes me about my mom is how she brings people into her circle. If I tell her about my friends she remembers them and cares about them immediately. I also love that she gave that to me. We definitely have different ways of showing it but I love people and I love doing all that I can for them. Let me tell you, this is not bragging on my part. Ha I hardly do enough, but I do try really hard and I know that that comes from my mother. She also loves to learn about any different thing she can and she also gave that to me. I love every subject under the sun and when I was homeschooled together we saw many amazing different things together. We got to go anywhere that was interesting and even though I liked some things more than others it was still awesome. Another thing that I love about my mom is her talent for all things sewing. She didn't pass her patience for this on to me but I definitely respect it (especially since she is making me new curtains!). My mommacita.
Now my Papa Bear. Most people that know both of us would agree that I have my father's personality. And not just because we share the same career. Well share would be extreme. Technically I'm just following doing the same thing he does; engineering... electrical... mems. Yup I followed it all. But other than that I have the same sarcasm that he has and the same quiet observance. Most times we just like to listen, but get us started on a topic we like and we'll never shut up. Which is how we have conversations that start with me asking how to make his vegetable beef soup in the pressure cooker and end two hours later with a rousing discussion on not only how the pressure cooker works and the atmospheric pressure it works at but also how it could be better. Add Ben in and it's awesome. Those conversations usually end with Abbey asking why my mother asked the odds of anything in yahtzee and begging her to never do it again. We have fun though. I was spending the night at a friend's house recently and her dad said you probably took a lot of things apart as a little kid didn't you. I thought about that and said, well no, I had a lot of questions but I'd just ask my dad how they worked and then he'd tell me. If he couldn't tell me, then I took it apart. Early on I realized that I wanted to be like that, be able to answer any question posed to me. Haha I'm sure some people are annoyed by that though. Overall I am probably most like my papa, and I love it.
When I have a problem, I also ask my dad about it, and he tells me what to do, and how to handle it professionally. Then my mom tells me the other side of the story and that I should be more compassionate, or louder and more assertive as the case may be. It's a wonderful balance and I wouldn't trade it at all. I love my parents so much and miss them a ton. Luckily I have a webcam so I get to see them all the time but at the same time that makes me miss them even more. But like I said earlier missing them gives me an amazing opportunity to appreciate them.

Malpractice Liability for Misdiagnosis
When does a misdiagnosis become an actionable medical malpractice claim?
Getting the right medical treatment often hinges on getting the correct diagnosis in the first place. So in cases involving a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, patients might be within their rights to file a medical malpractice lawsuit, if a doctor's negligence resulted in harm to the patient. But what does a patient need to prove in a medical malpractice case involving the misdiagnosis? Read on to understand how such a case might proceed.
Establishing Liability
If a doctor fails to accurately diagnose a health problem, and that leads to a worsening of the patient's condition, he or she may be liable in a medical malpractice lawsuit. In order to prevail in such a case, the patient (usually through a medical malpractice attorney) will need to establish a few key elements:
- The existence of a doctor-patient relationship. This element is usually pretty easy to establish, even without relying on the detailed paper trail of medical records and bills that follow every patient through the course of their treatment.
- The doctor's medical negligence in failing to properly diagnose the patient.
- Actual harm to the patient stemming from the doctor's negligence in making a diagnosis.
Most misdiagnosis cases will turn on the issue identified in the second bullet point above -- whether the doctor's inability to properly diagnose the patient rose to the level of medical negligence. It's important to note here that a doctor isn't automatically deemed negligent simply because a disease or other harmful health issue wasn't spotted in time.
The key question is whether, in failing to make a correct and timely diagnosis, the doctor also failed to act with the competence that a reasonably skilled physician would have demonstrated under the circumstances. So, on the one hand there are diagnostic mistakes that any doctor would likely have made, and these likely are not compensable via a medical malpractice lawsuit. But on the other hand there are unreasonable errors in diagnosis -- health conditions that a competent doctor would have identified, in other words -- and these could likely form the basis of a medical malpractice claim. In the sections that follow, we'll take a closer look at the difference.
Proving Medical Negligence in a Misdiagnosis Case
In trying to prove that a doctor made a negligent diagnostic error, a patient's medical malpractice attorney will seek to demonstrate that a competent physician, under the same circumstances and when confronted with the same diagnostic information, would have made the correct diagnosis and avoided further harm to the patient. This kind of proof is no easy task, and it usually requires the assistance and sworn testimony of an expert medical witness.
Differential Diagnosis
When assessing a patient's condition, physicians often rely on an organized process of elimination known as a differential diagnosis. After examining the patient and considering all possible health issues, the physician will perform tests to confirm or rule out each possibility, until one clear, definitive diagnosis remains. The differential diagnosis procedure that was followed in the plaintiff's case will be examined by the plaintiff's expert witness, and the expert will seek to establish two things using this differential diagnosis as a backdrop:
What was the appropriate medical standard of care under the circumstances? This is the measuring stick against which the doctor's conduct is measured in any medical malpractice case. The question here is, what would a reasonably competent and skilled physician have done under similar circumstances? Specifically, what health conditions should have been considered in the differential diagnosis? What final diagnosis should have been arrived at?
Did the doctor breach the standard of care? If so, how? Once the standard of care is established -- what a reasonably competent doctor would have done -- the plaintiff's expert will present a thorough analysis of what the doctor actually did. If the doctor missed something in the examination of the patient, in the consideration of potential health conditions, or in carrying out tests to rule out candidate conditions, this is where the expert establishes those errors.
Other Considerations
Many factors play into the determination of negligence in a medical malpractice case stemming from a misdiagnosis. Some evidence may not directly involve the physician, but other medical staff, or even faulty diagnostic equipment. And in cases involving treatment in emergency rooms, urgent care requirements may impede the ability of a physician to conduct a thorough diagnosis, and those factors will need to be considered in assessing the appropriate standard of care. The complexity of a medical malpractice case -- from both a medical and legal standpoint -- merits at least a consultation with an experienced attorney, so that you can discuss the facts of the case and explore your options.

Legal disclaimer: Results may vary from person to person
What is Iodine with Kelp?
Iodine is a trace element that is essential for the production of the thyroid hormones(T4) and (T3). Thyroid hormones are extremely important as they regulate overall metabolic activity including protein synthesis, enzyme reactions, and energy production.
Iodine also helps maintain healthy immune system, breast tissue health, and protects the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine in the environment.
When thyroid hormones are too low, the pituitary gland releases thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH signals the thyroid to increase its uptake of iodine in order to produce more T3/T4. In the absence of sufficient iodine, however, TSH levels remain elevated and can result in goiter (enlargement of thyroid gland) and symptoms of hypothyroidism. These include fatigue or lethargy, low mood, weight gain, edema (swelling, especially of hands), constipation, dry and brittle hair and nails, dry skin, loss of outer third of eyebrows, and increased sensitivity to cold temperatures.
Iodine is found in nature primarily as a salt, such as potassium iodide. (The element, iodine, is actually a gas.) When iodide is absorbed into the circulation from the stomach and duodenum, the thyroid gland stores what it needs in order to synthesize and maintain proper amounts of circulating thyroid hormones. Kelp is a source of naturally occurring iodide salts as well as other trace minerals and micronutrients.

For the ultimate deer-camp celebration, immediately remove your deer's inside tenderloins after getting the deer back to camp. The inside tenderloins are the most delectable cut of venison. They hug the rear portion of the deer's spine on the inside of the stomach cavity. For an appetizer, wash the tenderloin in cold water and pat dry with toweling. Slice cross-grain into medallion-sized pieces and pan fry in butter and garlic. Serve with buttered toast and a cold beverage.
Tracy and I enjoyed these tenderloins this past weekend. Who else had success? What is your favorite way to enjoy venison tenderloin?

Adam and The Ants were a British rock band active during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The original group, which existed from 1977 to 1980, became notable as a cult band marking the transition from the late-1970s punk rock era to the post-punk and New Wave era. By the end of 1979, this early line-up featured musicians Dave Barbarossa, Matthew Ashman and Leigh Gorman – all of whom would later leave the band on 26 January 1980, at the suggestion of then-de facto manager Malcolm McLaren, to form the instrumentalist personnel of Bow Wow Wow. The second incarnation of Adam and the Ants – which featured guitarist Marco Pirroni and drummer/record producer Chris Hughes – existed from about February 1980 to January 1982 and achieved major commercial success in the UK as early leaders of the burgeoning New Romantic movement there. Both versions of the band were led by singer and chief songwriter Adam Ant.
Prior to the Ants, Adam Ant (born Stuart Leslie Goddard) played bass in pub rock group Bazooka Joe, now primarily known as the band that headlined when the Sex Pistols played their first concert on 6 November 1975 at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. After witnessing this,

BACK from hiatus and very much back in vogue, this Olympia, Washington outfit are a prime example of one who've become appreciated further in their absence.
With their first LP in a decade, however, Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker and Janet Weiss are finally garnering the buzz they so richly deserve.
Indeed, No Cities To Love sounds not like a group who've been away doing their own things, but rather one who've spent the intervening years pent up in a cage, itching to unleash their stores of wicked rhythmic riffs and searing punk energy.
At a shade over half an hour, there's also no room for excess baggage, as the trio blast through 10 cuts with the urgency of one eager to remark their territory and reassert their influence.
It's a truly terrific return, and makes for the year's first must-hear album. 8/10. AW

The PC itself attempts to boot up but it will go so far and stall. I have to press the power button to shut it back down then try a new start up and usually have to do this 4 or 5 times before it boots up normally. When the monitor comes up the PC will load properly.This has been going on for a couple of weeks I'd say.
Anyone ever have this problem,or know how to diagnose it? Will all the odd things I've been seeing lately I have to wonder if it isn't time to buy a new computer before this one dies on me.

63 Tasting Notes
So Allie reminded me I'd forgot about receiving her samples today. (woops! and thank you!)
Pulled this one out since it sounded strange. I'm not usually a maple fan, but I'm noticing a lot of things taste better when just in tea.
Anyway, the smell out of the bag is in your face Maple. No getting around that one.
The Taste, for me, it good. I love the taste of plain rooibos and the maple adds a kick but doesn't overpower. Not 100% sure I'd order it myself, but I do enjoy it.
I've been going so crazy with flavored tea recently I just had the urge for some nice normal green tea tonight! (yeah, I know, who craves green tea at midnight?)
Anyway, big sample of this via Kasumi no Chajin (my green tea lifeline).
Smells real grassy, lighter golden liqueur.
First sip? Hmmmm….I'm not sure. I may have steeped this too short. Though that's still much preferable to leaving it too long. No bitterness, but light on flavor. I keep going back for sip after sip trying to place the flavor. It HAS flavor (though light) but I can't place it. It doesn't taste grassy, or smokey, or bitter. It's smooth and mellow with something. But damned if I can name the something.
Still trying to decide how I want to rate this guy so I'll ramble on for a few more sentences while I brew up my 2nd steep. It does have the "shredded" leaves that I hate so much. Probably mechanically picked (blah!). Ok, final guess for me is it's fine in a pinch but nothing to rush out and try.
Smells of sweet apple (I'd also go with the jolly rancher another reviewed mentioned).
Taste comes out a bit bland. Not much flavor getting through. Added a little sugar to see if that helped (it didn't). Going to say this wouldn't be one I'd consider ordering. I'll happily finish the cup, but that's about it.
Smells heavily of citrus.
So mid sip I'm getting a metallic taste and I'm not sure why. The end is the lemon & grapefruit. I can detect the rose in it but the strawberry is completely lost.
It didn't "wow" me, but it's not bad. Anxious to try the other samples I got from Nina's for comparison.
Another trade from Stephanie
Smells strongly of lemon.
Light liquor.
I get Orange as the dominant flavor and some lemon in the background. Very hard to taste the oolong as the citrus flavors take center stage. It's an enjoyable blend for me. My first time trying a David's Tea I believe and not disappointed.
Figured today was a good day to work though a bunch of samples I've received.
This beauty came from Stephanie and caught my eye due to the coloring of the flower petals in it.
Took one sip first (for comparison) then did as Butiki and other reviewers recommend and added a small amount of sugar. It's very good. I'm becoming a big fan of whites on their own recently and I love the watermelon smell. After the addition of the sugar the watermelon pops much more. This is a good tea that I'll be placing on my "to order" list.
When I first opened the bag of this I was knocked off my feet! It REALLY smelled of Caramel and Appple. I think a blind man who had never tried tea could have easily identified the flavor of this one.
The taste, while not as strong as the smell (sadly) is still true. It's one of the better honeybush I've had and I'm happy I can actually taste the apple in it (a few other teas claiming to be apple flavor left me wondering if they forgot the apple). Good tea all said.
Yet another sample from Lariel
Gives off a sweet smell but I can't exactly place it.
Hmmm…I can not taste ANY mango. Did I do something wrong here? Hair under 2 tsp for 8oz. steeped for 6 min. There's understated, and then there's nothing. This is nothing….
Strong rose smell out of bag.
Taste is of rose and rooibos. I'm losing any and all of the berry flavor somehow. Was hopeful for a bit more flavor (especially from certain ingredients in the blend) as it does seem a tad washed out.

Self-punishment can be beneficial if used the right way. For instance, if you receive a low test score in school, you could punish yourself by not going out with friends until you retake the test and get a better score. This would be beneficial because you would then know the material covered better and by doing so, would improve your grades. On the other hand, I do not believe that physical self-punishment is beneficial.
It is important to have self-discipline in order to achieve success. You should set goals for yourself and if you fail to reach them you should be hard on yourself and punish yourself for not reaching them. This is the only way to get better and ultimately be successful in the end.
I used to be a slacker. To encourage myself to do better I started applying rewards and punishments to myself and it does work. Don't punish yourself in any way that would compromise your health and never hate yourself, always love yourself, apply the punishment to yourself like a loving parent would. For example I may deny myself some of my favorite things if I have not met my self-imposed goals. I may decide that if I don't get X done satisfactorily I will impose no television on myself or I will put favorite foods or activities off limits for a time. Why not just choose to meet them? Because I'm human and have a subconscious, emotions, weaknesses like anybody else. So I forgive myself for my tresspasses against my self and my goals but I also hold myself accountable for them.
When people hurt themselves on purpose, it's a cop out against creative thinking. They believe that sunk costs of pain = opportunity costs of achievement. Just because people try hard doesn't mean they're trying smart. In order to improve, one has to QUALIFY efforts constructively, NOT simply QUANTIFY efforts out there.
