I think i'm starting to become seriously addicted to starbucks caramel frappucinos. the salted caramel that they drizzle overtop of the whipped cream is to die for. for those of you who are avid starbucks fans, they are currently doing a promotion where between 3 and 5 (maybe 6, don't remember) you can go in and order one of their frappucinos (from a specific menu) and get it for half off. what a deal. i needed my may magazine fix so i stopped and picked up harper's bazaar and vogue. i wanted the vogue issue because i heard they had a great piece on alexander mcqueen and reese looked stunning on the cover. the bazaar issue was super as well. the gaga article was amazing. even though i was slightly weirded out over her statement about her cheek bones: “[T]hey’re not prosthetics,” she tells Derek Blasberg.
“They’re my bones. They’ve always been inside of me, but I have been waiting for the right time to reveal to the universe who I truly am. Todmorden: A town where greenthumbs, not sticky fingers, prevail. Here in the United States of Immaculately Manicured Lawns, it can be hard enough as is to grow a small, neatly kept patch of veggies in your front yard without provoking the ire of your neighbors, the local HOA, and/or city officials. So can you imagine an entire town of more than 10,000 people where edible landscaping is the norm? A town that not only encourages front yard gardening but gardening in highly trafficked public spaces like the supermarket parking lot, the doctor’s office, and the railway station? A town where wandering into your neighbor’s yard without permission to grab a couple sprigs of fresh mint, a head of lettuce, and a few tomatoes is totally kosher? This all might sound like some far-fetched, fever dream utopia conjured up by Michael Pollan, but this place does indeed exist.
And it’s called Todmorden. And on the topic of police activity, a somewhat unexpected result of Incredible Edible has been a reduction in vandalism around town.

Writing to Persuade — Author Ross Guberman on What Professionals Need to Know | BNET. How to Master Any Skill (No Talent Required) | BNET. Last Updated Mar 29, 2011 8:52 AM EDT The intersection of talent and effort is a funny place. Think about a skill you've tried to develop, whether business, sports, or personal. At first you improve at a rapid rate. Then your improvements slow down. Eventually, no matter how much effort you put in, you just don't seem to get better. So you do one of two things: You decide channeling your inner Mozart is impossible and you quit, or You decide maybe you haven't really worked hard enough, and you keep digging.
If we keep digging, we still don't tend to improve, mainly because doing more of what got us to the level we have reached rarely results in further improvement. At some point the problem isn't effort; the problem is how we apply that effort. Why? We learn best from making mistakes. Slow down. That's where talent and effort intersect. Take Mozart. Here's a business example, one that might surprise you. Whatever you do, you can do better. Read more: © 2011 CBS Interactive Inc.. Yes, rich kids already won the career game. Here’s why. « Michael O.Church.
Americans like to believe that the modern workplace, like school, is a meritocracy. Sure, some people have a lot of money and don’t have to work, but Americans prefer to believe that, among those who do work, side-by-side in the same environment, it’s a fair competition. To their chagrin, they observe that their co-workers from wealthy backgrounds advance three times as fast, and wonder what the hell is going on. Why does one person, no more skilled than any of his co-workers, advance so effortlessly because of who his daddy is?
I don’t intend to insinuate that companies or managers are knowingly being elitist. Consider two analysts at a prestigious financial firm, both 24 years old and of equal drive, intelligence, and talent. Middle-class kids generally fuck up their first few years of the career game in one of two ways. The rich kid, on the other hand, relates even to the highest-ranking executives as equals, because he knows that they are his social equals. Like this: Like Loading... The Secret to a Happy Marriage: Do the Dishes, Put Out, Don’t Talk So Much. - Ideas Market. By Paula Szuchman Paula Szuchman, an editor at the Wall Street Journal and co-author of the new book “Spousonomics: Using Economics to Master Love, Marriage and Dirty Dishes” (Random House, 2011), will be guest blogging this week on Ideas Market.
This Friday, she will participate in a live chat with WSJ.com readers. Ask your questions here. This Valentine’s Day, skip the chocolate, lingerie and jewelry. A little background. All that stuff is the business side of marriage, and to navigate it successfully, you don’t need chocolate hearts. Herewith, five somewhat regressive, not very romantic, yet extremely effective lessons from economics for a happy marriage with long-term prospects: 1. Well okay, talk all you want about your dreams, ambitions and Egypt’s future. Overloading your spouse with what you consider to be perfectly valid information is a bad idea. 2. Married people exercise less than single people do. 3. 4. Which brings me to my fourth point: Put out. 5. Voicegal's Blog. Eharmony sucks | Single Steve. Ear muffs. Sorry about the aggressive title. Actually I’m not. I lie. I mean, I feel bad if you’re at work right now reading this, and the biggest letters on your screen involve the words FUCK YOU.
That’s always kind of awkward when you’re supposed to be “working”. If that’s the case, please scroll down like 2 inches (that’s what she said) and get those words off your screen. I had some other titles in work for this blog, but they just didn’t capture the essence of what I was trying to say. It’s true, I actually did buy the domain name www.FuckEharmony.com, which I couldn’t believe was still available. As of tonight I was in stage 1, waiting for 748 matches to respond back to me from stage 1. You’re probably thinking Steven, you should be more selective anyways, you can’t just be communicating with every person you get matched with. So all together I have been matched with 1905 and different females. You’re probably thinking well, there has to be a glitch in the matrix. Yep. How To. Cracking The Credit Card Code.

Teen Trends: "Digital Drugs" - Long Island Parenting Teens. Most of us all love music. Have you ever thought that teens could possibly use music to get high? We know there are some bad songs out there that teens listen to and some say they can cause teens to do crazy things. We also know some of the bad language and situations they hear in some of the songs of today.
The newest trend being reported is called “Digital Drugs.” I am sure you’re wondering like me what on earth are these teens doing now. The songs that can be downloaded promise to make the person listening feel as if they were on drugs using cocaine, meth and speed as some of the types of feelings that can experienced. Not many studies have been done on the long term effects of this. If you go to YouTube and put in binaural beats you will find teen videos doing this. What the biggest danger of this besides giving some sense of high is that it could lead to much more dangerous drugs. Asian news and current affairs. Bhopal, BP and karma By Chan Akya BP chief executive Tony Hayward (in a stiff British accent): "Members of congress, I come here not to apologize but to express my irritation at being here in the first place.
BP is a foreign company, and we operated Deepwater in the Gulf of Mexico as an offshore facility regulated as a ship (not a drilling well) under US law. Everything we did was acceptable under US law. We cut corners and costs, in order to produce the oil demanded by your people. Our suppliers such as Halliburton and Transocean are American companies so this is all your fault really. You bought our oil for all this time, and made our shareholders rich, so thank you for that.
"Accidents happen, and I am afraid you will have to live with the consequences of this one. Drivers and the resulting carbon dioxide - or C02 - emissions would have polluted the whole world. "If you don't like my answer, I have one word for you: Bhopal. " The worst such incident by any measure is Bhopal.
Survival of the Tattooed and Pierced? When surveyed, most people say they get tattoos or unconventional piercings to express individuality. But could something more psychologically primal be afoot? Researchers at the University of Wroclaw in Poland measured about 200 men and women—half of them inked or pierced in places other than their earlobes—for body symmetry, or how similar their right and left sides are. (More similarity indicates genetic health and is associated with sexual attractiveness.) Among the research subjects, men with bodily decorations exhibited greater symmetry than those without, whereas no differences emerged in women.
The results jibe with a different theory—getting stuck with needles can endanger one’s health via infections, so the study supports the evolutionary “handicap” theory that only those with high biological quality can afford such risky behavior.
