Stephanie and Matt
How We Met
Trickery. Pure and simple. But I'll get to that later.
Stephanie and I both went to the University of Pittsburgh for undergrad, and while we had a number of mutual friends and had attended numerous parties together, we had never met until one night in February of 2012. We were at a party, and a friend of mine introduced me to her. I remember thinking, "Wow, she's beautiful. Out of my league, but beautiful nonetheless." She seemed polite and had a really bubbly personality.We exchanged the usual pleasantries, but didn't talk all that much. By the end of the night, we simply said our goodbyes. So, I went home and did what any logical person would do at that juncture: sent her a Facebook friend request.
Needless to say, I woke the next morning and saw she had accepted it. We didn't really have much contact with the exception of exchanging a few Facebook "likes." Apparently, my posts were "witty" (I remind myself of this when she tells me I'm NOT witty). Then one night, I received a message on Facebook from Steph. It said, "Hey! Are we still on for tennis this weekend?" NOTE: I do play tennis. So, at this point, I thought, "Um, yes, hello, let's play tennis." And then, before I had a chance to respond, she typed, "Oops, wrong Matt! Sorry about that!" It was only an accident. Game over. Strike three. Do not pass go.
Well, you would think, right? Well, despite the misdirected message, we talked for two hours that night and then two hours the next night. We transitioned to Twitter mentions until I finally mustered the strength to ask for her number. About a month and a few dates later, I asked her out on Pittsburgh's Hot Metal Bridge on July 15, 2012, and she accepted (it was also four days before her birthday; I am not a smart man). A few weeks into our relationship, she confessed something to me. The Facebook message was no accident. She had simply "decided" she was going to date me, so she took a risk and sent me the message. Played me like a fiddle. However, after all this time, I think I've proven myself to be the "right Matt" after all.
how they asked
Steph fooled me into dating her with a tennis ruse, so I decided to reciprocate. After dating for over five years, I decided it was time to pull the trigger. We only looked at rings twice, but I knew generally the type of vibe she was feeling for a ring. Plus, I didn't want her to have all the power in ring choice.
I finally picked out an oval diamond, which I knew was her favorite. So, I thought to myself: what's a unique way to propose that's not overly cliché but still maintains a sense of romance? What was something that both of valued equally? Something that was meaningful. Maybe I was watching one of those Roger Federer watch commercials or something, but I had a Eureka moment: a tennis ball ring box.
A few Google searches and a trip to Reddit paved the rest of the way. I ventured out to a crafts store, and while I was a fish out of water there, I managed to obtain foam, gorilla glue, and red felt. One night when Steph was out of the apartment, I went to work. Have you wondered what the inside of tennis ball looks like? Well, it's not that interesting, folks. Kind of smells weird. That's about it. Then I started carving away at the foam to serve as the base for the ring to sit. I wasn't a boy scout, so this task was daunting. When you add a four-month-old kitten into the mix, who tries to EAT the foam you're cutting away, the task becomes near herculean. When I had two halves of sphere-like foam, I glued them to each half of the tennis ball, leaving one of the pieces of foam more hollowed out. I then glued on the red felt, cut a slit for the ring, and voila!
When I had the finished product, I realized I needed a plan. Since Steph and I had played tennis dozens of times during our relationship, I told her that I really wanted to play one last match of tennis before the warm weather ended. I bolstered that fib with the fact that two of our very good friends were moving to South Carolina, and that they wanted to play with us. In reality, they got to the local tennis court about a half hour earlier than us and staked out a hiding spot.
After FINALLY convincing Steph to play that day, I led her to the court. I wanted her to come to MY side of the court, so I told her, "Hey come look at the crack running across my side of the court. Not fair." Steph being stubborn, she stayed on her side, found a similar crack, and said, "No way, there's a way bigger one on my side!" Well, it's not love if you don't have to work for it, right? Preferences be damned, I came to the center of the net, recited my prepared "speech" without a hitch, and she said, "Um, no way?" Kidding, guys, just making sure you're paying attention. Of course, she said, "Yes!" and we celebrated one of the best days of our lives. Needless to say, she finally got that tennis match she wanted. Final score? Love all.

This 'If Diablo 3 Were a Girl' video humorously imagines the long anticipated Blizzard follow-up to Diablo 2 as a seductive blonde hell-bent on getting a former player back onto the addictive game. They dramatize the interaction between the two as though they were ex-lovers, resulting in steamy moments. After some easy convincing, the player is ready to get it on with the personification of the fantasy game only to be shown "Error 37," a code that appeared frequently halting players from being able to sign-in to the game in real-life. The frustration reaches its apex as the player is kicked in the balls, which is not unlike the feeling of not being able to play Diablo.
'If Diablo 3 Were a Girl' was made by YouTube channel I F*cking Hate That. Those impressed by this video should check out the equally funny parodies found on their account.

2 Concerns Individuals Do Certainly Not Realize With Regards To LASIK Eye SurgeryThe eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation includes the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the pupil to light and lodging.
The function of the eye might be evaluated in numerous ways. The patient may be asked to recognize illuminated letter or objects of varying sizes on what is known as the Snellen chart.
On the other hand, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of ways. Stress within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In specific illness, especially in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased markedly.
However, it must be well bore in mind that a client with an eye problem might have other problems also. Often other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can alert the physician and the patient to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other signs present themselves.
As a result, one's dependence on sight is emphasized when one deals with a possible or short-lived long-term loss of this important sense. When restorative steps are sought, particular forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some people are troubled with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgical operations were established to motivate decreased usage of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Essentially, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another form of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is check out here corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive errors in the cornea are permanently transformed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main function of this surgery is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, enabling much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that people must know. Probably, the primary reason why this kind of eye surgical treatment has become well accepted is because the majority of its cases had achieved success.
However, in spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgical treatment includes the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate portions of the eye, many individuals state that the operation can be very dangerous.
In other words, a simple error could practically cause an person's life time loss of sight. It is crucial to think about many elements prior to deciding whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the best restorative measure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a best treatment
LASIK eye surgery might fix your vision but it does not necessarily mean that it can give you a twenty-twenty. Even if statistical reports show that 70% of the patients may have 20/20 vision, this does not always imply they have ideal vision too.
Offered all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not always be the ideal eye surgery the way the majority of people view it
Alternatively, the examination of the structural part of the eye may imp source be made in a number of ways. It needs to be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye issue might have other problems. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a repercussion. The look of the eye can signal the client and the doctor to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction.

After the many conspiracy theories regarding the ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion and other traits of the close to 3,000 victims of 9/11, their lives cut short while performing mundane tasks in their cubicles in either of the twin towers, here comes a new study delving into the psychology of those who after working for years in the same boring jobs, were reduced to ashes in a matter of seconds.
"Imagine how many of them must have been looking bored outside of their cubicle window as the first plane was approaching" said Dr Phil, one of the leaders of the study. "We now have some idea, after interviewing their loved ones, and even the ones they hated and were hated by, that most of them were a sorry bunch."
"Do you know how many of them had appeared in my show before that fateful day?" continued Dr. Phil with a shrug, "I have not said so, out of respect for the survivors, but you'd be surprised, and so was I."
According to the survey, many of the surviving office workers started feeling a lot better about their jobs after witnessing the fate of their peers on 9/11. This new level of optimism that rose from the ashes kept many of them going for longer than what they'd otherwise have.
"True there are still some that want to jump off the empire state building instead of carrying on with life in an existential quandary, full of loathing and self doubt, stuck in a meaningless and pitiful existence. Some of them still look out of their window wandering if someone else will put them out of their misery," added Dr Phil.
"For a moment or two during my day, even I have such thoughts."

Eyebrows are significant to humans because of their physical and psychological functions. They prevent small objects, moisture and dust from falling into the eyes and detect objects closer to the eyes. In addition, the various shapes the eyebrows form on a person's face depict his feelings.
The eyebrows have a curved shape with a sharp end to direct moisture, such as sweat and rain, away from the eye. This makes the moisture flow along the nose and away from the eyes. Eyebrows also have ridges that help shade the eyes from sunlight and dust.
The shapes of the eyebrows help in non-verbal communication. They assist in facilitating expressions and communication.

Post one bug, and everyone demands you post another even more frustrating one. Our bad, should have had this up already. Seems iPhone 3.1 users, mostly iPhone 3G users from what we can make out, are experiencing random freezes and complete shutdowns of their iPhones, and nothing, not reboots, not restores are fixing it.
TiPb did hear a few accounts of freezes during the 3.1 beta on all versions of the iPhone, but that's the point of betas -- to identify and fix bugs before the software goes primetime.
Seemingly random, intermittent bugs, however, can be some of the toughest to figure out, especially for users, so if you're suffering from frozen or shut-down iPhones, let us know which device, and any pertinent details like clean 3.1 install, restore from backup, etc. and if you've stumbled onto any fixes of the more-than-temporary variety, please do share.

May 18, 2017
It is with great sadness that we inform you that Professor Aysel Badir, from Turkey, passed away on 16th May 2017 after a two year struggle with cancer. Aysel Badir, a Professor at Koç University, School of Nursing in Istanbul, was a leading and inspirational Turkish nurse who was passionate about advancing critical care nursing practice through research and education in her country.
Aysel was one of the founding members of the European federation of Critical Care Nursing associations (EfCCNa). Through her enthusiasm, energy, vision and leadership she helped the Turkish Critical Care Nursing association to establish a strong network of collaborations within Europe, and worldwide. During her tenure in EfCCNa she contributed to supporting and promoting the aims of the Federation leaving a positive and lasting impression. Since 2005, she had dedicated her time to be with her son and continue her scholarly pursuits including research, publication and overseeing a major review and validation of nursing curricula at her University. In recognition for unique talents and outstanding research contributions to Turkish critical care nursing, she was awarded a professorship in 2015.
We will remember Aysel as a warm, friendly, cheerful, resilient and charismatic critical care nurse; an individual with an exceptional vision whose legacy will not be forgotten by EfCCNa and Turkish Critical Care Nurses. Our thoughts, sympathies and sincerest wishes of comfort are with her son Yitigan.

It is a very fine and elegant pattern and I had been wanting to use it on something for a while. Having come across a photo of some 1940's cocktail sweaters with diamond patterns with embellishments inside the diamonds I had an aha! moment and produced this sketch.
Having bought a skein of Weaver's Loft Gaia Worsted at a fiber festival, I decided to try a swatch of the pattern and embellish it with Lazy Daisy flowers. I was really excited about it.
I contacted the Weaver's Loft to see if they would be interested in providing yarn support for this project and they generously agreed. To support my generous sponsor visit their website here www.weaversloft.com
I got to work on a prototype and had some trouble coming up with a button band I liked. So I invented one. It's a double knit strip with that gets sewed to the cardigan with mattress stitch.
I've made a couple of video's to give a tutorial for the technique.
I also made a video tutorial on how to embroider the cardigan
And finally after weeks of terrible weather, I got to do a photo shoot with my friend Shelby as the model. She was wonderful and we had an excellent time. All the clothes except the cardigan were actually hers. She's a stylish lady.

I'm procrastinating to all hell. Why you ask? Because I have a great idea for a short story that I haven't worked on because I have myself convinced that I need to be working on well…work. So, I do my best, read a couple articles here or there and something on Facebook or here in the blogosphere catches my eye…and I'm gone. Done.
Catch this undergrad. It's imperative that you look where you're going when you decide to climb onto an elevator. That way you won't tick off the grad student that although not in charge of your grade, can get a hold of the guy or gal in charge of your grade.
Two delightful weekends with bf has made me skippy. We put together Easter baskets for my nephews this weekend and thanks to my man, I am officially the coolest auntie on the planet.
Mental note to all you men out there btw: If you KNOW that you disagree with your fine lookin' honey on things like politics, don't bring it up. ESPECIALLY if you're in a long distance relationship allowing her a bit more freedom. That freedom can come in and bite you in the butt. Case in point this weekend. Now, has Michael Steele said some dumb crap: Yes. Is he a complete nimrod? I don't think so…at least not yet. Michael don't steer me wrong man, I'm routing for you, fuck it, the whole damn state of Maryland is routing for you. We recognize you might be the fall guy, but we're hopeful for the best.
I finished the Wicked Years yesterday. I haven't decided if I will review all three books or just stick to the last two I read or just do one big review. It will come eventually. For now I'm reading Denis Leary's book, very fun.
News on my big test: I passed. Thankfully. More news on what's next in the never ending hoops that I need to jump through to get through graduate school with my doctorate to come.
Speaking of which: I'm contemplating compiling a book. Titled like most of my threads that I write about school: Tales of a Wannabe Grad School Dropout. For those of you that are out there reading that are grad school people like me, let me know you're feelings.
The weather is typical Maryland hellish weather these days. It's screwing with my system.

Civil War Search Engine Idiosyncrasies--Be Careful!
The National Park Service has a "Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Data Base" that can be accessed by clicking on the following link: http://www.nps.gov/civilwar/soldiers-and-sailors-database.htm. You then click on the "Soldiers" photo shown in yellow below.
That then takes you to the "Search" Template. I used this web site to find the record for Spear Dean, who I discussed in my blog of 16 September which can be accessed by clicking here.
It is interesting to note that there is only one search mode. There is no "advanced search" or choice to do an "Exact" or "Soundex" search. Also, notice that I have highlighted in yellow above information about how you can obtain copies of the full service records.
I was searching for my gggrandfather, Wesley Ritchhart and entered his name spelled just that way. I got no results; but knew he was in the Civil War. I then entered Wesley Ritchart and still didn't find him, so I entered Wesley Richhart and got the following response:
Note that his alternate name was listed as Wesley Richheart. I am not sure what the alternate represents; but the search engine doesn't appear to be using soundex. As I was doing the searches I noticed that Ira Richhart came up for both Richhart and Ritchhart and Samuel came up for both Ritchart and Ritchhart so the engine must include some spelling variants; but they didn't seem to work for my Wesley.

Dick Eastman Announces Eastern Caribbean
Cruise for December 2014--lots of time to plan!
Dick Eastman's Newsletter contained the following announcement:
"A new genealogy cruise was announced today and it looks like a good one. I'll be there as one of the presenters. This cruise will start December 7 of 2014, almost 16 months from now. I'd suggest the time to start planning is NOW.
Leaving from Fort Lauderdale, the ports of call include: San Juan, Puerto Rico; Basseterre, St. Kitts; St. Maarten; plus three days at sea (with genealogy presentations all thee days), returning to Fort Lauderdale on December 14. That strikes me as a good balance between genealogy and sightseeing."
More details can be obtained at: http://www.cecruisegroups.com/genealogy-cruise-2014.html.
I think that may be too close to Christmas for a lot of folks. But a great time to go to the Caribbean if you live back East!

You know you have a big star on your hands when even their press conference has a light show.
But then Jennifer Lopez has never done things by halves.
Named 2012's most powerful female celebrity by Forbes magazine, the singer-actor-dancer is in Melbourne for the Australian leg of her first world tour.
She addressed the local press at Rod Laver arena on Tuesday for 13 minutes (including five and a half minutes of questions from the official comperes) on staying grounded, handling the paparazzi and performing live.
"This is something that I had to do," she said of her decision to do her first world tour 13 years into her career.
Dressed neck-to-toe in white leather (with lace platform heels and gold accessories) she said the pre-tour training had been tough.
"I really wanted to be able to sing the show live," Lopez told reporters from a velvet throne.
"I didn't want one to suffer for the other which is what you see sometimes."
By the time she reached Melbourne, Lopez was already part-way through the seven-show Australian leg of her 80-city world-wide tour.
The Australian reviews have been, without exception, raves lauding the 43-year-old as "one of the slickest performers in the business".
Lopez (self-described as "just a girl from the block who kind of made good") said she feels titles like most powerful female celebrity reflect years of hard work.
When asked the obligatory "What have you enjoyed about Melbourne" question, she gave a glimpse of the work ethic that helped propel her to the top of music and box-office charts and a smaller glimpse of her family life.
"I have four shows in the next five days so what I want to do is give really good shows to my fans," Lopez said.
"But the kids are out right now and they'll get tell me about it."
Her four-year-old twins have been touring with their superstar mother since June.
After more than a decade at the top she said she had learnt a thing or two about how to manage the ravenous media monster that can be "very kind" and sometimes "very very not kind".
The minutely choreographed press call shows brand Lopez is able to exert some measure of control over the media.
But there was a moment of panic when press-handlers realised superstar sweat stains had shown up in some of the photographs.
They worriedly asked photographers to show them the digital screens on their cameras.
"Feel free to re-touch that," one yelled to them as they left.

Mars Postponed: Launch Delay Gives Little Company Another Chance to 'Wow The Public'
(Page 2 of 2)
Cameron to create a movie about Mars. "We proposed this integrated camera system that could do the science imaging that NASA wanted, but also had this zoom capability," Ravine says. "It would have functionally been HD video from Mars."
After NASA eliminated the zoom lens capability last year, Ravine says, "Our ability to wow the public went away." As for Cameron, Ravine says, "We didn't lose him formally, but he's working full-time now on another movie."
If you have seen any aerial images of Mars over the past 15 years or so, the chances are high that Malin Space Science made the camera that captured them. The company's technology has helped revolutionize our scientific understanding of Mars' planetary geology. These images, for example, taken by the company's camera aboard the Mars Global Surveyor, show gullies formed on Mars by flowing water.
These images show sedimentary rock formations on Mars, which means bodies of water existed on the red planet for long periods of time.
And these images, taken two years apart, indicate that the Martian South polar ice cap is receding.
Are people really interested the landscape of a barren, frozen planet so far away?
The chief scientist for Phoenix Mars Lander estimates that between 50 million and 60 million people actively followed the mission, which sent its last signal back to Earth last month.
The company was founded by Michael Malin, who was working as a planetary geologist at Arizona State University when he received a MacArthur "genius grant" in 1987 for $250,000, no strings attached. Malin used the funds to start his own company in San Diego, generating revenue entirely from government contracts—building cameras for deep space probes and providing services to plan missions, acquire data, and process, analyze, and archive the pictures.
The company, which today has 30 employees, has been trying to transition from its traditional base in academic space research to something more commercial, Ravine says.
"I feel really grateful to get the opportunity to work on these projects in a small team, and a small company environment," Ravine says. "We really get far more responsibility here than we ever would if we were at a place like JPL, Ball or Lockheed," referring to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Ball Aerospace and Lockheed Martin.
Part of the reason for seeking more commercial work, Ravine explains, is the disappointment that seems to go with launching U.S. spacecraft toward Mars. "They can crash," Ravine says. "They can blow up. They can forget to turn themselves on." And oh, yeah: "They can get delayed."

Mr and Mrs Shin'ichi Shioyasu standing on the right of the core of the workforce—showroom staff in purple and workshop staff centre and left.
In Pursuit of Excellence
The Shioyasu Kobo is one of the bigger true lacquer workshops and pervaders of true lacquerware in Wajima, with a history going back some one-hundred and fifty years. It is a large enough organisation to be a focus for tourist buses bringing people who are on tours of Wajima and the surrounding Noto Peninsula. It is therefore little wonder that there is everything from chopsticks to tables and accessories to grand true lacquered screens in the expansive showroom, with a band of dedicated staff ready to help customers with their purchases.
Pieces to wow the public take pride of place in the showroom.
But the mini-tour of the premises begins at the doors to the workshops, which occupy the back of the building. Although many of the Japanese tourists who come know a good deal about the origins of true lacquer and how it is used, there are a surprising number who know little more than contact with this refined sap from the lacquer tree can cause a skin rash. In fact some even think that inhaling the air heavy with its scent may also be harmful.
One of several old design manuals to fall back on when necessary.
On the day back in June when I was working under Masahiko Sakamoto, I was genuinely taken aback by how limited the average person's knowledge of true lacquer was. Mind you, of course a good many people were much more interested in why a bearded foreigner was in a workshop that was usually the exclusive domain of Japanese craftspeople.
With the workshop tour over, the visitors move into the showroom to be astonished by some of the trophy pieces on display and then generally buy at least a pair of chopsticks or perhaps a soup bowl or two.

But as a commissioning body, Shioyasu Kobo contracts out work as necessary to any number of other craftspeople rather than completely relying on those working on the premises on Route 249 leading south out of Wajima. There are those who turn the wooden core of many of the items, as well as specialist decorators on hand to provide just the right set of skills to complete a job and satisfy the needs of the customer. And, strictly speaking, the desire to satisfy the customer is very high on Shin'ichi Shioyasu's agenda. In fact, the situation is the same whether one or many craftspeople are involved in the completion of a product. It must be of the highest possible quality and can in no way be questioned as to its degree of excellence. That, in actual fact, is the core of the Japanese work ethic in a nutshell.
Accessory to please those with a contemporary taste in true lacquer work.

How to Prevent Bone Problems?
Your body can sometimes struggle to use the calcium found in milk, which is why a few of these other foods that are rich in calcium could be just what you need to get that daily amount.
Bone diseases, one of the most frequent being osteoporosis, are often due to genetic factors, infections, poor bone development, or poor nutrition. While the first cases are harder to avoid, you can take care of your health to prevent bone problems in the future.
In this article we will explain which nutrients need to be included in your diet or in some sort of supplement so your bones don't have any deficiencies in the future, as well as what you should avoid or limit to better prevent bone problems.
Despite the importance that calcium is given when it comes to bone health, there are other essential nutrients that are equally as important. In fact, you need a balanced dose of all minerals for your body to have strong and healthy bones.
Remineralizing foods
- In spite of the fact that milk and its derivatives are rich in calcium, some studies have shown that this is not easily digestible for the body as an adult. For this reason we recommend other foods rich in calcium, such as sesame seed, which has more calcium than milk and is more digestible.
- Algae: Algae is one of the richest sources of minerals among foods (spirulina, kombu, sea spaghetti, nori, wakame, agar-agar, etc.). These can be included in any kind of stews, rice, soups, pastas, vegetables, and any dish that requires cooking.
- Cooked carrot: This is even richer in calcium than when eaten raw.
- Peruvian Ginseng: This has a lot of calcium and iron and is also an excellent hormone regulator. It is great for those who have uncontrolled hypertension or an overactive immune system. One should take care of how much they eat.
- Horsetail: Rich in silicon, a mineral that supports our bone structure. You can drink two or three cups a day.
- Sea water: A natural and balanced supplement that can be found at health food stores. We recommend that you take a tablespoon before every meal. You can use it to season foods or instead of sea salt and table salt.
A protein-rich diet
Protein is necessary for bone health, but you don't just get it from meat, fish, and eggs. In fact, an excess of animal protein can aggravate or speed up cases of osteoporosis. We recommend some of these vegetable sources of protein, which are easily digested by your body:
- Legumes
- Alfalfa sprouts
- Avocado
- Dried, raw, unsalted fruit
- Spirulina
The importance of vitamin D
Vitamin D is necessary to absorb calcium and magnesium into the bones. The body naturally produces it when exposed to sunlight, which is why we recommend you spend time in the sun every day in the morning or evening (and apply sunscreen, of course). If you live in a region that is not very sunny, you can eat eggs and oily fish (sardines, herring, salmon, tuna) every day or take a supplemental vitamin, which can be bought in pharmacies and health food stores. We always recommend you consult with your doctor before taking even natural supplements.
Demineralizing foods
Just as we should eat foods that add minerals, we should also limit or avoid foods that remove those nutrients from our bones. They are as follows:
- Alcohol
- Tobacco
- White sugar
- Coffee
- Carbonated and sugary beverages
- Processed foods
- Pre-cooked foods
- Fried foods
- Salty foods
- Bran inhibits calcium absorption. It is true that you need to eat whole grains, but you should avoid products that have added fiber (like crackers and bread) or eat them separately from foods rich in calcium.
- Vegetables with oxalate (spinach, beets). You can also eat them apart from those that are rich in calcium.

Breaking News Emails
MAINZ, Germany — Beer companies in Germany woke up to a $150 million hangover Monday when five breweries and seven people were fined for illegally fixing prices by the country's cartel office.
In secret phone calls and private meetings the breweries agreed to raise the cost of the amber nectar by five to seven Euros ($7 to $9.50) per hundred liters of beer, according the Federal Cartel Office known as the "Kartellamt."
"While we have seen this type of manipulation with other consumer products, it is the first case in Germany's beer industry," Kay Weidner, a spokesman for Germany's anti-trust authority told NBC News.
The country's Federal Cartel Office told Reuters on Monday that unlisted brewers Bitburger, Krombacher, Veltins, Warsteiner and Privat-Brauerei Ernst Barre GmbH as well as seven individuals in the industry received fines as part of a settlement agreement.
"In 2008, a price increase was agreed for bottled beer with the intention of making the 20 bottle crates one euro more expensive," Andreas Mundt, the head of the German anti-trust authority said in a statement.
"The key witness in this case was the German division of Belgian based beer giant Anheuser-Busch," Weidner said. "In half of the cases that we deal with, our investigations are based on testimonies from key witnesses," he added.
Sure to provide a bitter aftertaste to beer lovers is the fact that the cartel office also said that further investigations are under way against two national and four regional German breweries.
The country is Europe's biggest producer of beer and has the third-largest per-capita consumption after the Czech Republic and Austria.

Buenos Aires (AFP) – A footballers' strike which has paralysed the Argentine league spread to the third and fourth divisions on Saturday, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) said.
Players are striking over unpaid wages despite a $22 million government payout to help solve the impasse.
Union representatives (FAA) claim some players have not been paid for four months because the state had failed to redistribute broadcasting revenues to their clubs.
As a result of the strike, only amateur matches were played at the weekend.

Fantastic bed! My daughter loves this as do I, it is really well made and heavy and was relatively easy to assemble. It gives my daughters room a really magical feel, would definitely recommend.
So easy to use and produces simply excellent pizzas. Wood fire oven pizzas taste so much better and in the UUNI they cook very quickly indeed, (you'll need to turn them every thirty seconds or so for the perfect pizza). Well made product and only took fifteen minutes to assemble - even the correct tools were provided so no digging around in my toolbox.
I love our igloo. Not too hard to put up, it's lovely to sit inside as the nights are drawing in. It's like a conservatory. Spacious too. We've added some fairy lights and candles. There is a slight smell of pvc but the fragranced candles disguise it. Looking forward to using it in the summer too and will buy the canvas cover. I may even put some flooring down to make it even cosier!
Amazing first class customer experience!! Very helpful and honest staff. I will look here again!!

1986: Some municipal lot with a chain-link backstop and three rows of bleachers on one side. I'm playing second base for the Diamond Cutters, a work league softball team for General Motors outside of Pontiac, MI. Some middle-aged guy with coaches shorts and kneepads is tucking in his shirt on first, having hit a blooper to get on base. I nod to Scotty playing short; get ready for a double-play ball. The batter smacks a one-hop rocket up the middle of the infield on my side. I've got no time to get in front of it. In two steps, I backhand the ball; the momentum carries my glove around in front of me. Without even thinking, I take the ball in my free hand and flip it behind my back like Pete Maravich. Scotty's on a slow run, does a little skip step and catches the ball on his right hip with his arm already cocked. In one fluid motion he rifles it to first about 50 feet ahead of the stunned runner. Nonchalantly, I nod once more to Scotty – two down.
Yes, that really happened. Once. I've had my moments, and that was one of them. The groan from the other dugout was priceless. I was good enough in those days to stop that particular grounder and I just got lucky on the toss. Scotty and I had played together enough to completely trust each other and, frankly, he was really good. That's why he was at short and I was at second. But a lot of things went right on that play besides my stop and his catch. Timing is so important for the shortstop. His steps have to be just perfect to step on the bag when the ball arrives and have the lead foot out front for his throw. The ball has to come out of the glove just right and lead him into his wind-up without twisting his shoulders or causing a double-pump. The more the left shoulder faces first on the catch, the easier the whole motion is. And that day in 1986 was the smoothest double play I ever experienced myself.
Look up "behind the back double play" on YouTube; it's a meme.
So who were Tinker, Evers and Chance? Or as I thought when I was eight years old, Tinkers to Evans to Chance.
Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers and Frank Chance are, arguably, the best-known Chicago Cubs of all time yet last played together in 1912. They were good, but they are remembered because of an eight-line poem.
"Baseball's Sad Lexicon" first appeared over 100 years ago. It was written by Franklin P. Adams, a New York Evening Mail columnist who had been born in Chicago (and was a Cubs fan). Those were the days when the Cubs were a dynasty, unlike today where the Cubs are synonymous with *not* winning the World Series. From 1902 to 1912, shortstop Joe Tinker, second baseman Johnny Evers and first baseman Frank Chance were the best double play combination in baseball.
For the New York Giants, the combo's proficiency caused much frustration and inspired Adams to write the poem:
These are the saddest of possible words:"Tinker to Evers to Chance."Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds,Tinker and Evers and Chance.Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble,Making a Giant hit into a double—Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble:"Tinker to Evers to Chance."
Adams conceded: "I wrote that piece because I wanted to get out to the game, and the foreman of the composing room at the Mail said I needed eight lines to fill. And the next day (an editor) said that no matter what else I ever wrote, I would be known as the guy that wrote those 8 lines. And they weren't much good, at that."
The poem has been altered slightly over the years. Researchers, Bales and Wiles found the original version. They suggest a different seventh line: 'Words that are weighty with nothing but trouble' which I prefer.
Words that are weightyNonetheless, even though I had never seen or heard that poem until just now, I knew that Tinker, Evans and Chance meant double play. Of course, I also thought some guy named Taylor was significant.
My shortstop's name was probably not Scotty. I can't remember.

"It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all—in which case, you fail by default.
The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity… Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone's total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes."
JK Rowling, Harvard University, 2008.
"A key component of wisdom is fearlessness, which is not the absence of fear, but rather… not letting the fears in our heads get in our way. Not letting that voice of doubt, which I call the obnoxious roommates living in your head, have the last word. Because, as French philosopher Montaigne said, "There were many terrible things in my life, but most of them never happened."
Arianna Huffington, Sarah Lawrence College, 2011
"I used to worry about all kinds of things, but I can remember the moment when I calmed down. I had just moved to San Francisco, and one night I couldn't sleep so I was on my laptop. I read something online that said 'There are 30,000 days in your life.'
At first I didn't think much of it, but on a whim I tabbed over to the calculator. I type in 24 times 365 and —oh my God, I'm almost 9,000 days down. What the hell have I been doing? That night, I realised there are no warmups, no practice rounds, no reset buttons. Every day, we're writing a few more words of a story. So from then on, I stopped trying to make my life perfect, and instead tried to make it interesting. I wanted my story to be an adventure — and that's made all the difference."
Drew Houston, Chief Executive of Dropbox, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013
"What I regret most in my life are failures of kindness. Those moments when another human being was there, in front of me, suffering, and I responded… sensibly. Reservedly. Mildly. Or, to look at it from the other end of the telescope: Who, in your life, do you remember most fondly, with the most undeniable feelings of warmth? Those who were kindest to you, I bet. It's a little facile, maybe, and certainly hard to implement, but I'd say, as a goal in life, you could do worse than: Try to be kinder."
George Saunders, Syracuse University, 2013
"A few weeks after Dave died, I was talking to my friend Phil about a father-son activity that Dave was not here to do. We came up with a plan to fill in for Dave. I cried to him, "But I want Dave." Phil put his arm around me and said, "Option A is not available. So let's just kick the shit out of option B." We all at some point live some form of option B. The question is: What do we do then?… Build resilience in yourselves. When tragedy or disappointment strike, know that you have the ability to get through absolutely anything. I promise you do. As the saying goes, we are more vulnerable than we ever thought, but we are stronger than we ever imagined."
Sheryl Sandberg, University of California at Berkeley
"Celebrate idleness. Yes, idleness! The students of creativity have long known what neuroscientists can now actually prove: Our greatest insights and discoveries have come not when we are doubling down staring at a computer screen, but when we sit back, rub our eyes, go for a walk, read a book or give our children a bath. Isaac Newton did not discover gravity in a laboratory. He was sitting under a tree. The physicist Richard Feynman did his Nobel Prize-winning work when he was watching students spinning plates in a cafeteria. Often you must slow down for your mind to speed up."
Anne-Marie Slaughter, Tufts University, 2014
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
Steve Jobs, Stanford University, 2005.
"Be bold! Be bold! Be bold!"
Susan Sontag, Wellesley, 1983.

We are fast approaching the end of 2014, and having some time off work over Christmas gives us the perfect opportunity to look back at the year we are saying goodbye to, taking stock of what we have done over the past twelve months, and to dream of what we want 2015 to be.
For me, 2014 has had some fantastic moments. It all started with a house move in January. After years of commuting for 3 hours a day and living away from many friends, I decided something needed to change, so I put my house on the market and waited for months on end for an offer to come through. It eventually did and last January I finally made the move. It has brought so much happiness to my life! I am within walking distance of my office and my friends, and because of being nearby, I have been able to socialise more, therefore widening my circle of friends and meeting some fantastic people. That same month I got a new job in the same company. It is in an area I'd been interested in for some time, and it hasn't disappointed.
Another highlight of the past year was a week long trip to Southern California to visit a friend. I had such a blast! Our friend Phil, who was hosting, was incredible and organised such a variety of activities. We went sailing, hiking in Joshua Tree National Park, went to see Jimmy Kimmel Live the day he was interviewing Pharrell Williams, had a crazy night out in West Hollywood and even appeared as extras in a friend's film! I have to pinch myself to believe I really experienced all this.
However, whilst the year couldn't have started better, it took a turn for the worse during the second half, when a dear friend passed away. It wasn't a surprise, but it has been deeply painful nevertheless. She was far too young, and her loss was a reminder of how precious our lives and our health are. When you are confronted with something like this, cliches suddenly have a genuine meaning, and you realise that you truly don't know what is around the corner.
Although I haven't been able to articulate this until a few days ago, I have been (and to a certain extent still am) a bit lost for the past few months. My heart is full of hope and vitality, of thirst to do lots of things, but it is also full of sadness. Something I have found to help during this time is doing yoga, exercising and eating healthily, which I intend to make a priority in the New Year.
Moving to a bigger house gave me the opportunity to be creative and my Pinterest is now bursting at the seams with photos of bedrooms, mirrors, gallery walls, DIY projects,.... Reflecting as I like to do, I realised that I have always had a bit of a dormant creative side which I have always been scared to tap into, for fear of not being good enough.
I was trawling through Pinterest and came across this quote from Henri Matisse. It caught my eye because I love this style of illustration, with the handwritten font and bright cheerful colours, but also because of what it said. Creativity does indeed take courage, it requires to take a leap of faith in none other than yourself (why is it sometimes so much harder than having faith in others?) and put your creations in front of others, whether it is a handmade cushion, a room layout, a make up look or a blog post.
This year I am going to take that leap of faith and believe in myself, be ready to make mistakes and embrace my creative side. Writing this blog is only one small part, although perhaps one of the scariest. I have written other blogs in the past, but always kept them anonymous, hiding behind a pseudonym, trying to erase any details that would help anyone work out it was me, and ended up having something that I couldn't be proud of. This time will be different. I have not set myself with a specific topic, or at least not to begin with. I plan to write about what I am genuinely interested about, about the things that help me be happier, and see where that takes me!
If you have ever wished you could be better at something, give it a go this year! All you need is a bit of courage and an open mind. Who knows, there is every chance that you will be great at it.
See you soon,

Before we get to the part of how to choose a foundation, first of all, try and be comfortable in your own skin. Don't try to look like a skin tone that you're not, because what happens then is that the makeup instead of merging into the skin stands out separately, especially in the photographs. You don't want that to happen! So everyone should be aware of what kind of makeup products would suit them and the most important is how to choose a foundation which is just perfect for your skin-tone…
What is your skin type?
There are a lot of foundation products out there in the market, liquid, powder, oil free etc which are suitable for different skin types. So when you're pondering over how to choose a foundation, the first thing you need to know is your own skin type.
If your skin is dry, go for the moisturizing foundation, the one which has a hydrating effect.
If you have an oily skin, use oil free liquid or powder foundation.
If you have a combination skin, use powder foundation.
Choosing the perfect foundation shade…
Now, lets come to the shade of the foundation. The foundation shade must exactly match your skin shade. If it is darker or lighter than that, then it will not look good.
Another thing also that we need to consider is our skin undertone, it is basically the colour that our under-skin reflects.
You should choose foundations with pink undertones if you are fair and go for yellow undertones if you are towards the darker side. Generally foundations are labelled with the tone they carry.
Trying and Testing the Foundation
When you are finally purchasing the foundation, a lot of times the sales girls put it on the underside of your arm, which is generally fairer that the face. So it may end up looking great on your arm, but not on the face.
Try the foundation on your jawline and forehead and let it settle down for sometime. Take a stroll in the mall for 10-15 minutes and then come back and see how it looks on your skin. If it looks caky, or makes you look white or dark, this one is not for you. If it blends with your skin, you're good to go!
Finally…Applying the Foundation!
Now that you've perfected the art of how to choose a foundation, the right appllication of this product is also important. You can use a sponge, your fingertips or a thick brush.
- Wash your face and hands and let them dry
Apply foundation dots around your face such as on your chin, nose, cheeks and forehead.
Spread the foundation evenly with a sponge, your fingertips or the brush.
Make sure that the foundation is spread right up till the jawline and the forehead. Your non-foundation skin should not be peeping out from the corners.
Leave it on for 3-5 minutes and allow it to settle
Take a tissue and dab it on your face so that any excess foundation comes off.
Finally apply loose powder on your face to set the foundation
Tip: Incase your face is very dry and flaky, dab some moisturizer on your face after applying foundation. Just dab it and dont rub it in, that way the foundation doesn't come off.

Wallah! You just got that flawless skin!!!

Three things are coming together for me, undoubtedly in the face of the ongoing tsunami of love.
Those three things are willingness, personal responsibility, and impatience.
I'm willing to carry out my mission, in a way I never have been before. There's less wavering, much more certainty.
I'm willing to take responsibility for the state of my world, never mind simply for my participation in it.
And I'm so impatient to get going that I'll explode if I don't find some useful way of channeling my enthusiasm. (Well, I guess this is the way.)
I flash on Winston Churchill and how, prior to becoming Prime Minister, he had a hit-and-miss record, was considered a pest and a turncoat, and was ridiculed for warning the House of Commons of imminent danger from Germany.
And yet, when he became Prime Minister, it was as if he had been waiting for that moment the whole of his life.
Suddenly, finding himself in a post that gave him scope and space, he became a galvanizing force, rallying the British people and preparing them for what needed to be done.
He said that the Germans would have to come to the War Room and take him out bodily because he wouldn't leave until the Germans were defeated.
I put that vision out in front of me and ask myself to make it true for me as well – that, when the starting flag drops, rather than being vexed and confused, I find myself strapped into the seat I was born to occupy, all else unfolding as it should.
Let it be that folks have to come and drag me out bodily because I've found my calling.

Week 6- Del.icio.us
I've had a del.icio.us account for a while. I stopped using it because it became more trouble than it was worth. All of the sites that I had bookmarked, had to be re-bookmarked and tagged. I think that I would like to transfer my bookmarked sites to a wiki. It will be easier to maintain.

i'm arabic but i talk English all the time just because i love that language , i enjoy it and all. in order to have fun , i play basketball and read books, watch movies and many many series. i'm social , not sooo much like a "popular person" but i have many friends "who doe'snt? right?" unfortunately i can't call any of them a really good friend. i've never been on a date , never been kissed before , never had that kind of relationship with any guy, my sis says it's because i'm always hanging out with boys playing video games and basketball matchs with them and all that bullshit!! , is it my fault that i enjoy their company? my friends tell me : it's mostly because i'm the "thug life kind of girl" , not fragile or sensitive and definitely not a romantic person
what do you think i should change about myself?
Most Helpful Guy
You should not change anything about yourself. You can never be happy if you are trying to pretend to be different than what you really are for the purpose of pleasing someone else. Happiness in a relationship only happens when you find someone who appreciates you for who you are, just the way you are.
I know that this is no consolation to you now, but as you get older, more and more guys will find you attractive.
Most Helpful Girl
Nothing is wrong with you. You're just going through adolescence.

The first Earth Day was celebrated 46 years ago.
At that time, LCSWMA was known as LARA – the Lancaster Area Refuse Authority. Recycling didn't yet exist as we know it today and our Integrated System was yet to be established.
We've come a long way since that first Earth Day.
Today, LCSWMA serves both Lancaster and Dauphin Counties, managing around 900,000 tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) and recyclable materials in a safe, reliable and efficient manner every year. Our award-winning Integrated System helps to keep 96.5% of Lancaster County's MSW out of the Frey Farm Landfill, and allows us to turn waste from Lancaster and Dauphin Counties into electricity, powering the equivalent of 45,000 area homes.
On Earth Day and every day, LCSWMA is committed to doing all we can to manage waste in the most environmentally-sound way possible. Driven by our guiding principles, we are dedicated to the establishment of sustainable systems that provide the optimum balance between resource conservation and disposal of waste.
And while we fulfill an essential public need, LCSWMA is also committed to community sustainability though generating renewable energy for the community and reducing our own energy consumption, in addition to fostering open space through building recreational trails and opening a nature preserve for the public to enjoy.
It is our privilege to serve Lancaster and Dauphin Counties, and together, we can help make our communities a more sustainable place to live, work and play.

New York State Bar Association President Vincent E. Doyle III expressed concern that the Judicial Compensation Commission approved a relatively modest salary adjustment for New York's judges whose wages have been frozen since January 1999.
Judges are leaving the bench voluntarily in record numbers, according to a recent New York Times article. In 1999, 48 of the state's 1,300 judges resigned. In 2011, 110 quit the bench. "Judicial pay scales should not be so inadequate that they encourage top judges to resign - or deter highly qualified attorneys from seeking judgeships," President Doyle noted.
President Doyle said he also was disappointed that the commission called for phasing in the adjustment over three years.
"Judges have waited long enough," he said. "We recognize the state's fiscal problems and that many New Yorkers have been forced to sacrifice."
In a report issued in July 2011, the State Bar Association called for raising salaries of state Supreme Court justices from $136,700 to $192,000 to reflect the increase in the cost-of-living since 1999.
In 1977, the state government became responsible for funding the newly created Unified Court System. Since then, judicial pay raises have been infrequent. "A pattern of long periods of salary stagnation [were] interrupted by occasional 'catch-up' increases," the bar association report says.

Wednesday evening was an incredible evening. Not only did we have the opportunity to create a beautiful centerpiece arrangement with our floral design class, but we also had the opportunity to discuss the importance of sustainability in the realm of floral design.
As we discussed with class participants, the launch of Ovando's Sustainable Collection in 2010 really helped propel our awareness of eco-friendly design…There was certainly a lot to learn! And even while much of the onus still resides with the farms and growers themselves, companies today can no longer neglect their role in the matter.
Ovando's class offered participants insight into the 3 major elements of sustainability: environmental sustainability, social & economic ecology, and product integrity. And albeit an introductory measure, we're happy to say that our Sustainable Collection does make a commitment to work with recycled and biodegradable materials, as well as to work with local growers and rapidly renewable materials. And, if we may say so ourselves, each design is nothing short of spectacular!
For those of you who were unable to make it to Wednesday's evening's class, not to fret…We invite you to our class on floral terrariums on May 18th ! The terrarium may not be quite as delicious as our Fields of Green composition, but it will be certain to woo you nonetheless!
