Warning! Loud Music Will Damage Your Brain ~ Better Health, Better ...
Warning! Loud Music Will Damage Your Brain
Music is good for body and soul just as food too is good for our body, but no matter how good a thing is, too much of it is always dangerous to our health. The same thing apply to music, too much of it causes damages to our brain. Loud music in particular is detrimental to healthier lifestyle. Researcher in the latest publication have sound a very serious warning concerning loud music most especially listening to loud music played on headphone.I know a lot of youth out there have been accustomed to the use of headphone which is not bad if you use it appropriately, like using only one of the earpieces when you?re walking outside the street and trying to be considerate in other not to disturb others within your vicinity. Listening to loud music played on earphones has been found to cause similar damage to nerve fibres as degenerative disease Multiple Sclerosis. If you don?t know what multiple sclerosis is, please read it here in a better understanding of multiple sclerosis.
According to the new research; according to new research, it?s also destroying your brain. The amount of damage loud noise does to the nerve fibres that carry signals from ear to brain is reportedly comparable to Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Any noise that is above 110 decibels strip the myelin coating that protect the nerve, this is very similar to the person suffering from multiple sclerosis, a disease condition in which the immune system attack the brain. The damage caused by the loud noise can be reversible after three month but may not be for everybody. You can image being deaf for three months, what will you feel like?
In the cause of interaction with people who have experience this form of deafness, they made a statement that I found worthy of letting you know and so, I?m just putting out three of their responses for you to really understand the extent this menace has gone in the society
First Response: this is also why I actually think I'm like 10-15% deaf.. this is going to be noted to play my music not as loud through my head phones now... I knew of this as my father and mother had always taught me growing up.. but as a kid you don't really care what parents say? but wishing now I had listen.. you grow older and well you learn. Second Response: Showed this to my 17 year old son, he said he doesn?t care, I told him he will lose most of his hearing by the time he is 30, he said he will be old by then and not listen to music so much. I know he is my son, but what a stupid txxt he is. Third Response: I went suddenly completely deaf in one year 6 months ago. They don`t know the reason. Apparently in 85% of cases they never do find out the cause and put it down to a virus or something, but I never realised how much I took my hearing for granted until it was gone. I am still struggling to adjust. They think now it is permanent. Please everyone, take note of this. It is really much harder than you would imagine to live with damaged hearing. Now that you?ve read that, if you want to continue using your earphone, please DO NOT LOUD IT, this will help prevent your brain and your ear. Please use the comment box below for your contribution and don?t forget to share it with your friends and loved one using any of the social network icon you can find in any part of this website.

Louie, Season 3
My favorite moment in this whole episode was when Louie?s impossibly young-looking agent Doug pops his head out from behind Garry Marshall so he can blurt out an incredulous ?No?!? after Louie turns down what sounded like an offer to host the Late Show on CBS. Which is fitting: ?Late Show: Part 1? was Edward Gelbinovich?s finest half-hour. C.K. even gave him some extra screen time by showing an extended take of his backstage reaction shot as the credits rolled. I?m a little surprised that Gelbinovich?s two upcoming credits on IMDb are playing characters called ?Burnt Child? and ?Skinny Kid,? but perhaps this episode will be his breakout moment. And Jonah, he only looks prepubescent: Those basso pipes of his command authority.
My second favorite moment was that tornado of cosmetic preparation that swirled around Louie before he walked out on the Tonight Show stage. This was, as Allison mentioned, very much a showbiz episode?and that whole scene with Garry Marshall was a tour de force (even if I half-wish C.K. had cast Paul F. Tompkins in that part). Its most striking showbiz lesson concerned the proximity of wild, improbable success and painful, desperate failure. ?You?re gonna crack your head on the ceiling, and you?re gonna go down, probably for good,? Garry Marshall tells Louie. Then he paints a picture of life after the road not taken. ?In 10 years, you?re gonna be teaching comedy at a community college to support your kids, and falling asleep to the Late Show ? with Jerry Seinfeld.?
We already know Seinfeld himself will appear at some point?he managed to tape an episode somewhere in his busy schedule of driving cars and getting coffee?and that his role will be ?very different from what you?re used to seeing him do.? So I can envision two very plausible trajectories from here: 1) Louie goes for it, losing the weight, giving his all?and then bombs, after which he gets some kind of stand-up-life lesson from Seinfeld and walks off into a more modest sunset with his two daughters, and maybe Liz; or 2) Louie agonizes over the decision, knowing that late-night talk-show host is not really his calling, but finding it hard to resist the big paycheck and the professional validation. Then he turns it down.
Or perhaps 3) Leno will somehow sabotage both Louie and Seinfeld, and screw up CBS?s plans.
Speaking of which: Do you think it stung Conan O?Brien just a little to see C.K. recreate his ?Everything?s Amazing and Nobody?s Happy? moment in an episode that guest-starred ... Jay Leno? That career-altering riff was delivered on Late Night with Conan O?Brien, and, as you may have heard, Conan and Leno don?t exactly get along. Also, Conan gave C.K. his first big comedy job. Perhaps this is neither here nor there?and, in any case, C.K. has defended Leno and the ?old, shitty? show he hosts before. Plus it makes more dramatic sense to stage this scenario on the Tonight Show than on TBS. But I found it hard to stop thinking about this.
Also: Do you think C.K. wrote those dumb bits we saw Leno do, the before-and-after joke and the Velveeta coupon typo? If so: pretty good parody of Leno?s Tonight Show. If not: pretty good self-parody of Leno?s Tonight Show.
In any case, I?m eager to see how things play out. And I?m glad you pointed me to Matt Shafeek?s essay about ?slow comedy,? Jonah: C.K. has said this three-episode arc is ?what we put the most effort into? when filming this season, and I suspect he will unfurl its pleasures patiently. This felt like prologue. The scene-setting music?not to mention that intense cliffhanger?hinted at dramatic things to come.
One last aside before I go: I was glad to belatedly get Louie?s rationale for not doing any Blu-ray-player research before that disastrous trip to Best Buy or wherever in ?Dad.? He doesn?t want to go to Amazon and read ?a really long review written by an insane person who?s been dead for months because he shot his wife and then himself after explaining to you that the remote is counterintuitive.?
They?re all the same, these machines. They?re all made from the same Asian suffering.

Syrian activsts say rebels shot down warplane
BEIRUT (AP) ? Syrian activists say rebels have shot down a regime warplane over the northern province of Idlib.
The government had no immediate comment, and the report couldn't be independently confirmed.
The Local Coordination Committees, an activist group, and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights say the plane was seen crashing Thursday near the Abu Zuhour air base.
Idlib-based activist Alaa al-Din says the warplane was shot down by heavy machine guns.
A video broadcast on Al-Arabiya shows what appears to be a parachute and rebels cheering and claiming it belonged to be the pilot. The video's authenticity could not be verified.

(AP Photo/Samsung)
NEW YORK (AP) ? Fresh off a legal battle with Apple, Samsung is announcing a new version of the Galaxy Note, an offbeat, oversized smartphone that's become a surprise hit.
Samsung, the world's largest maker of phones, is revealing the Galaxy Note II at a trade show in Berlin. The 5.5-inch screen is narrower but longer than on the first version. The processor is faster, and the software has been further adapted for the included stylus ? the phone's signature feature.
While Apple has been releasing a new smartphone model each year, Samsung makes several to target different types of customers. That includes low-end phones for price-conscious customers. As a result, Samsung has been selling more smartphones than Apple this year.
The Note runs on Google's Android operating system but isn't among the phones that Apple is asking a judge to ban from the U.S., after a jury in California ruled last week that some of Samsung's Android phones violated Apple patents. The jury awarded Apple $1 billion in damages in a high-profile case that could force Samsung and other Android phone makers to rethink their designs.
The Note is designed to work well with a stylus for jotting notes and drawing on a screen, while styluses for other devices tend to be an afterthought. The Note's large screen also makes the phone more like a tablet and more suitable for playing games and consuming content. Samsung started selling a tablet version of the Note this month.
Samsung Electronics Co. says it has shipped 10 million first-generation Galaxy Note smartphone in one year.
Samsung says the new phone will go on sale in Europe and Asia in October. It did not say when it would launch with a U.S. carrier.

Turning chemistry inside-out: Self-assembling smart microscopic reagents to pioneer pourable electronics
ScienceDaily (Aug. 29, 2012) ? First place in an EU competitive call on "Unconventional Computing" was awarded to a collaborative proposal coordinated by Prof. John McCaskill from the RUB Faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry. The project MICREAgents plans to build autonomous self-assembling electronic microreagents that are almost as small as cells. They will exchange chemical and electronic information to jointly direct complex chemical reactions and analyses in the solutions they are poured into. This is a form of embedded computation -- "to compute is to construct" -- in which, for example, the output is a particular catalyst or coating needed in the (input) local chemical environment.
The EU supports the project within the FP7 programme with 3.4 million Euros for three years. Four research groups at RUB will join forces with top teams across Europe, from Israel and New Zealand.
Self-assembling electronic agents
In order to create this programmable microscale electronic chemistry, MICREAgents (Microscopic Chemically Reactive Electronic Agents) will contain electronic circuits on 3D microchips, called lablets. The lablets have a diameter of less than 100 ?m and self-assemble in pairs or like dominos to enclose transient reaction compartments. They can selectively concentrate, process, and release chemicals into the surrounding solution, under local electronic control, in a similar way to which the genetic information in cells controls local chemical processes. The reversible pairwise association allows the lablets to transfer information from one to another.
Translating electronic signals into chemical processes
The lablet devices will integrate transistors, supercapacitors, energy transducers, sensors and actuators, and will translate electronic signals into constructive chemical processing as well as record the results of this processing. Instead of making chemical reactors to contain chemicals, the smart MICREAgents will be poured into chemical mixtures, to organize the chemistry from within. Ultimately, such microreactors, like cells in the bloodstream, will open up the possibility of controlling complex chemistry from the inside out.
Computation intertwined with construction
The self-assembling smart micro reactors can be programmed for molecular amplification and other chemical processing pathways that start from complex mixtures, concentrate and purify chemicals, perform reactions in programmed cascades, sense reaction completion, and transport and release products to defined locations. MICREAgents represent a novel form of computation intertwined with construction. By embracing self-assembly and evolution, they are a step towards a robust and evolvable realization of John von Neumann's universal construction machine vision. Although these nanoscale structures will soon be sufficiently complex to allow self-replication of their chemical and electronic information, they will not present a proliferative threat to the environment, because they depend for their function on the electronic circuit layer that is fabricated as part of their substrate.
RUB collaborators
For the project, Prof. Dr. John S. McCaskill (Microsystems Chemistry and Biological Information Technology) collaborates with Prof. Dr. G?nter von Kiedrowski (Bioorganic Chemistry), Prof. Dr. J?rgen Oehm (Analog Integrated Circuits) and Dr. Pierre Mayr (Integrated Digital Circuits). McCaskill's and von Kiedrowski's labs at RUB have already joined forces in previous European Projects forging a path towards artificial cells. The ECCell project, for example, that finished in February this year, has laid the foundation for an electronic chemical cell. There, the electronics and microfluidics were exterior to the chemistry: in MICREAgents this is being turned inside out.

pharon square: Etch-a-Sketchy
I am still in vacation withdrawal. I know, I know. No one feels bad for the girl coming off a week-long vacation to the beach. But I may get some of you with this.
When I got home on Saturday afternoon, I didn't go home. I got my car from my brother's house and I realized I didn't want to go home to an empty apartment with no food. I drove around for a bit before I decided that I needed a craft to get my mind off of the end of my vacation. I went to, let's see here...one, two, three, eleven, TWELVE stores looking for supplies. Four hours later, I went home to get started.
I dropped my suitcase in the middle of the floor and unpacked my craft supplies. The project I was most excited about was etching glass. FUN, RIGHT?! So I got my glasses out, turned on?an Extreme Couponing marathon and got to work.
Hold up. Apparently, the glass etching cream I got also goes by the name Agent Orange. According to the label, it's the most dangerous substance known to man. I was instructed by the bottle to wear goggles, long-sleeved shirts and latex gloves. I had zero of those supplies on hand.
The warning label on the glass etching bottle warned me that I could go BLIND if the cream got in my eye. BLIND! How can I do crafts if I'm BLIND?! WTF, glass etching cream?! It also warned that the cream would damage any fricking thing it came into contact with. It may as well have said, "This is acid, lady! ACID!"
I got nervous. I emailed my sister Padrin who made me this baller casserole dish for Christmas. On it, she etched "Pharon's Kickasserole". She knows me too well. So I figured she was a pro. I was all "Hey, sis. What's up with this glass etching stuff? Will I go blind?" And she was all "You're a spazz. Cover your workspace and use some common sense."
Maybe she DOESN'T know me that well.
So tonight, I started the highly toxic process of crafting. I put on 12 sweatshirts, my sunglasses and taped Ziploc baggies on my hands. I put the cream on the first glass and let it sit. As the deadly substance gradually ate away at the glass, I had a major panic attack.
How do I dispose of this?! If it's toxic enough to blind/maim/circumcise me, what will it do to my plumbing and trash can??
See, when your glass is all eaten away into an adorable pattern, you're supposed to simply wash the cream down your drain, throw away the stencils and wash the glass. Easy peezy, right?! WRONG. If this stuff is going to do the kind of damage it promises on the warning label, how are you supposed to just spill it down your drain!? I held my breath,opened all the windows in the apartment, got my fire extinguisher ready and pre-dialed 911 before I turned on my kitchen faucet. Before sticking the glass under the stream of water, I put a Tupperware container over my mouth and nose, securing it with a cute new scarf I bought. I was ready.
NOTHING HAPPENED. The cream slipped down the drain harmlessly, my limbs were all in tact and there was no sign that the etching substance destroyed my sight or fertility. And my glass was downright etchin' adorable.
In closing, I would like to say that if you are GOING to put a warning label on a stupid crafting product, do not allow insanely fearful people to purchase that product without thorough training. Or hey! Maybe just write "Listen, don't get this in your body, but it's totally fine and can't even eat through Scotch tape." WHICH IT CAN'T. (Um, if you claim that your product can eat your soul from the inside out if you get it on your arm, but it can't penetrate through a sliver of transparent tape, you have over-warned your customers.)
But yeah. My glasses are crazy-cute. If not highly toxic.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Expecting Ann Romney and Michelle Obama to pick out a nice frock and take the stage to assure Americans that their men are swell husbands and fathers may sound like a holdover from the 1950s, but it's a relatively recent convention tradition.
Among first ladies, politically savvy Nellie Taft was the first to attend a national convention ? and it was the opposing party's. Gazing up silently from a front-row seat in 1912, she intimidated Democratic speakers into muting their criticism of her husband, Republican President William Howard Taft.
Eleanor Roosevelt's unscripted plea for unity quieted a 1940 convention upended by war in Europe. In the television age, first lady Pat Nixon said a few informal words, and petite Nancy Reagan greeted her husband's colossal image on a video screen.
It wasn't until 1992 that Barbara Bush pioneered the wifely testimonial.
She was assigned a prime Republican convention slot in hopes that her matronly charm would steady her husband's wobbly re-election bid. Mrs. Bush praised "the strongest, the most decent, the most caring, the wisest" man she knew and declared, "However you define family, that's what we mean by family values."
"She's the first first lady to have prepared remarks," said Carl Sferrazza Anthony, historian of the National First Ladies' Library. "And without saying anything overtly political, she's talking about the political issues of that period."
George H.W. Bush lost. But Mrs. Bush proved the potential of putting an adoring spouse in front of millions of TV viewers.
So every four years, the wives come out.
"The wives are in a unique position to talk about their husbands in more personal terms, rather than policy terms," said Martin Medhurst, distinguished professor of rhetoric and communication at Baylor University. "And a lot of people vote on personality."
In 1996 both the first lady and her rival, Elizabeth Dole, spoke at a convention. Dole, wife of Republican candidate Bob Dole, left the stage to mingle Oprah-style with the crowd. First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton talked up her husband, Bill, and responded to conservative criticism of her credo "It takes a village to raise a child."
"The face-off between Elizabeth Dole and Hillary Clinton in 1996 is probably the rhetorical high point of those conventions," said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, an expert on political speech and director of the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center. "Each one very effectively makes the case for her husband, and the press played it as the battle of the wives."
And what wives: Both went on to serve in the Senate and run for president ? stirring thoughts that someday a man will grace the convention stage as the nominee's supportive spouse.
No matter what Mrs. Romney and Mrs. Obama say this year, they won't match the gravity of the first convention when a first lady spoke.
Adolf Hitler's forces had overwhelmed Western Europe and begun bombing the British coast when Democrats gathered in Chicago in 1940. The delegates rallied behind Franklin Roosevelt for an unprecedented third term but rebelled at his choice for running mate and fought over how to help Britain without being drawn into war. The president stayed away, instead dispatching Mrs. Roosevelt to persuade the fractious crowd to unite for the good of the nation and a world in peril.
"We cannot tell from day to day what may come," she told them. "This is no ordinary time."

Give Your Body A Kick-Start With These Excellent Nutrition Tips ...
Staying healthy and eating right is not rocket science. Here are a few suggestions for choosing better, more nutritious foods. You will learn there are a lot of easy things you can do in order to get the proper nutrition.
Choosing the right nuts can boost your nutrition. Almonds are a natural snack food with high fiber and great crunch. A good portion size is a small handful of the natural nuts.
TIP! Make sure that you get enough selenium from your diet. Selenium, a mineral, can help build up tissue elasticity, so that your skin ages more slowly.
Inventing new ways to prepare your meals can be of tremendous benefit to a nutritious diet. Instead of deep frying foods or using tons of grease when cooking, simply boil or steam the food. Doing this will eliminate a lot of fat off the foods. Selecting healthy methods of preparing food will ensure that one?s diet remains nutritious.
Staying motivated and dedicated to your weight loss program is crucial for success. These are two very important factors for success. You have to be motivated to stay on track. It may be useful to set aside a specific daily time slot for your workouts. Choose a good time of day, and also an exercise you like doing.
A friend can be a great support system while you adjust to a big change in your life, such as your new diet. Your ally may have already lost weight and can help push you, or it can be someone who seeks the same results as you do and will help you when you are feeling hopeless. Having a support person is an important part of effectively losing weight.
Wheat Flour
Try replacing some of the white flour in your baked goods with whole wheat flour to boost their nutritional content. Whole wheat flour not only has more nutrients and fiber than white flour, but it is also less processed.
Some low fat diet foods are high in sugar, and possibly also sugar substitutes, to replace the flavor lost in lowering the fat content. If they say they are low calorie, then you need to look at what is utilized in its place.
TIP! Add Greek yogurt to your diet because it is a good source of protein. Greek yogurt can act as a low-calorie replacement for sour cream in your favorite recipes, especially if you purchase the non-fat variety.
Liquid intake is an often overlooked factor in nutrition. Find out how many calories you consume each day just from beverages. There?s more than enough sugar and caffeine to derail your diet, so cut back on soda and coffee. Alcohol never helped anyone?s diet either, so try not to drink alcohol as much, and definitely not at night.
Corn Syrup
When looking for ways to reduce your sugar intake, you should focus on avoiding foods and beverages that are loaded with corn syrup. Condiments, such as ketchup, contain corn syrup, so take care to read the nutritional labels of all foodstuffs and products you are eating.
TIP! Any time you consider purchasing an item at the grocery store check its label. Just because something says that it has reduced fat doesn?t mean that it is full of healthy ingredients.
Vegetables of all types, even canned vegetables, are great for your health. They are packed with vitamins and minerals that keep you healthy and satisfied. You should eat several portions of vegetables every day, such as through a salad or vegetable-rich soup.
Dairy is important, but be judicious about what dairy you eat. for example, choose products that are low in fat (such as skim milk rather than whole milk). You can improve your joint and bone health by eating dairy, but you can also get a lot of fat from it.
When you begin using the above tips in your daily life, you?ll find it easier to make nutritious choices without having to think much about it. Once you get the basics, it gets easier to incorporate good nutrition into your daily life. Good health to you!
Just like taking in proper nutrients for our overall body fitness, it?s just as essential to analyze and improve our mental fitness in order to live a fulfilled and meaningful life. One of the simplest to do so is by taking the Mental Fitness Challenge (thanks to Orrin Woodward and LIFE). The pre-challenge survey contains critical questions regarding our mental strengths in 13 inter-connected areas and what we need to work on. The actual challenge is a 90-day program containing audio CDs, tracker sheets, books and very uniquely, the ability to invite others to give you something called 360 feedback where they share their honest (hopefully) observations of your strengths and weaknesses.

Brazil's Rousseff Inviting Private Sector ? Miami International ...
Posted on August 27, 2012 by The Victoria Law Group
Rousseff is applying a formula that, if done in a correct dosage, could be very beneficial for any country. For anyone who follows Brazilian politics, the juxtaposition was surprising: a left-leaning president from the Workers? Party, which has its roots in the 1980s trade union movement, auctioning off government property to private investors while jilted public servants protested outside.
Yet the scene was no accident. Rousseff has in recent weeks deepened her embrace of the business world while playing hardball with her leftist base, a bold shift she hopes will protect public finances while providing a needed jolt of investment for Brazil?s lackluster economy.? Meanwhile, the rest of the world wants to make sure Brazil gets 2014 and Rio 2016 right.? After that, all will be forgiven.

You And I Are One. . . | Life, Love and Relationships
And Two Shall Become One!? This common belief in marriage is a great concept ? unless there is a debate about who gets to be ?the one?!??? When this power struggle begins, codependence and counterdependence (unhealthy behaviors we talk about in therapy) begin to develop.? I often see couples where over time the counterdependent person has gained all the power in the relationship, while the codependent person has given up most every aspect of themselves trying to please the other person.? ?Harville Hendrix aptly coined this dynamic as, ?You and I are one ? and I?m the one!!?
In this scenario, the counterdependent (I?ll use ?He? only because it?s more commonly men, but certainly not exclusively!) demands all the power in the relationship, and the codependent (She) gives up all of their power.? ??She does everything he asks, desperately trying to please him.? Instead of achieving the harmony they are seeking, he is still unsatisfied and she is growingly more and more frustrated at not being able to please him.? Her subconscious belief is that she can only satisfy herself if she satisfies him.? The silent anger that is growing inside of her comes out in unhealthy and juvenile ways; cut-off, rage, criticism, control, cynicism, or other passive aggressive behaviors. ?Her behavior pleases him even less, so they are further and further from their goal.
This is not to say that a counterdependent is a selfish, power-hungry clod.? Quite often the contrary is true . . . down deep he is really just an insecure little boy looking to be loved by his bride.? He is, however, going about it in equally as juvenile a way with a belief that his way is the right way.? When she questions his way, the insecure little boy inside of him is threatened.? His response is to convince her that his way is right so that he will be good enough to be loved.? The bigger his insecurities, the bigger his argument to sway her.? The bigger her insecurities, the less of a fight she will put up and the more of herself she will give up.
The net result is that he persuaded her to be more like him, but he still isn?t happy.? Why?? He doesn?t really like himself that much.? She gave everything she could to get his love, but still isn?t happy.? Why?? She doesn?t really love herself.? They both were looking for love but this cycle prompted them to love each other LESS, not more!
How do you fix it?? We can?t really change these cycles unless we remove what is driving them in the first place!? We must first start with learning to like and love ourselves before we start demanding that someone else do it.? By demanding that someone else love us when we don?t love ourselves is to ask the impossible! ?Most of the couples that come into my office have been doing this same thing over and over again but expecting different results.? ?Try working first to like what you are asking your partner to like, then strive to love who you are before expecting your partner to love you!

Pasta with sausage and cherry tomatoes - Tora's real food - Yes
Just a few days ago, it seemed, long months of summer stretched out before me. And now I find myself a week from the first day of school, preparing to shift into the high gear of fall, planning meals, schedules, days. How does time get away like that?
This week, Sunday Supper is about fast and easy back-to-school meals to help you get a tasty meal on the table fast. I've made one of my favorite go-to dishes: pasta with sausage and cherry tomatoes, which takes advantage of the tomato bounty that's still to be found at the farmers market. But the nice thing about this dish is how incredibly easy it is to vary, using what's in season and at the height of flavor and nutrition. I've provided a few suggestions for variations at the end of the recipe. And don't forget to check out what else is cooking for Sunday Supper this week. This group of bloggers has really served up a bounty of recipes that should help you (and me) get a delicious dinner on the table fast. ? ?
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork sausage (sweet or hot Italian-style as you prefer, casings removed)
- 1 lb dried pasta (I used rombi in this recipe, but most shapes will do fine)
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 cup half and half or heavy cream (+ more as needed)
- 1 packed cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp ground white pepper
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Start a large pot of water to boil for the pasta. When it comes to a rolling boil, cook the pasta according to package instructions and drain.
- While the water starts to boil and the pasta cooks, start cooking the sausage in a wide, deep pan over medium heat (to render out some of the fat), breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. (If you use turkey sausage, add some oil to the pan before cooking so that it doesn't dry out.) Cook the sausage until fully cooked and nicely browned. Keep the sausage warm on low heat until you've got about 5 minutes left of pasta cooking time.?
- Raise the heat of the pan with the sausage to medium high. Add the crushed garlic to the pan and cook for a minute, stirring frequently. Don't let it burn; burnt garlic is awful. ?
- Add the tomatoes to the pan. Let them cook for about a minute.?
- Add the cheese and the half and half or cream to the pan. Cook until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 1-2 minutes. (Add more half and half or cream if the sauce seems too scanty.)
- Season the sauce with thyme, white pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.?
- Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the sausage, tomatoes, and sauce. Mix in the pasta and let it soak in the sauce for about a minute or two. Taste it to make sure the seasoning is to your liking. Serve and enjoy. ??
Variations
- When the sausage is cooked, add thinly sliced half-moons of two leeks to the pan and let them soften before adding the tomatoes.?
- Add a sliced bell pepper at about the same time you add the tomatoes. ??
- Add a cup of frozen peas about a minute before you add the garlic. ?
- Instead of using tomatoes, add bite size pieces of broccoli or cauliflower early in the cook time.?
- Replace the tomatoes with sliced leeks and sugar snap peas.?
- Add a cup of steamed, cubed butternut squash and a handful of pepitas?after cooking the sauce.?

Improve The Ways You Think About Money - Total Vibration
Money is a part of life. This is something that you just have to accept. This is why it is important to learn how to manage your finances. Focus on gaining knowledge on how to be financially independent. Continue reading to get some tips on how to gain this knowledge and understanding.
First and foremost, create a budget. You will need to make a list of all your monthly income and expenses. Make sure you include any additional income that you have as well. The amount of money you spend should not exceed the amount of money you bring in.
It?s important to then figure out how much your monthly expenses are. It is crucial to not forget things like car insurance, repairs, and gas. Include food costs, whether from eating out or buying groceries. Incidental spending, such as entertainment and minor child care costs, should be reflected too. You want to be as thorough as possible as you create this list.
After you?ve figured out how much money you are spending and how much money you are making, you can begin to think about what type of budget is best for your family. The first thing to do is find out if it is possible for you to eliminate any expenditures. Make your own coffee at home as opposed to buying it at Starbucks. Try to find ways to save money.
Times are tight, so people are trying to save money. If your bills are high, you can take steps to lower them. An easy way to improve your home?s efficiency is to repair or replace an old hot water heater. Take a look at the water pipes in your home. If you find any that show signs of leaking, arrange for a plumber to make the repairs, so you can save money on your water bill. You can also reduce the amount of water you use by only running your water-intensive dishwasher when it?s full of dirty dishes.
Buying an energy efficient appliance can be a good investment. You should also unplug any device that has a light or display that stays on all the time. These two simple changes can reduce your electric bills by a decent amount over a long period of time. You are also helping the environment.
Home improvements can sometimes prove cost-efficient because of the savings they provide in your utility bills. For instance, you will spend less on heating and air-conditioning if you make improvements to your roof and insulation.
Follow these tips to reduce your expenses, and save cash. Although some upgrades can be expensive, they will pay for themselves over time as you save money on your bills.

The Empowerment Column 2012 ? week 35: ?The Nine of Diamonds ...
By Rev. Thabiti
Las Vegas Informer
As we open our hearts and minds to receive more of this precious gift of Life with all of its wonder, mystery and beauty, we gain a clearer sense that all is well and life is good.? There are infinite opportunities and infinite possibilities available to us during every single minute of our life.? Life is governed and directed by the evolutionary impulse of the ever expanding good and we rest in full acceptance in Let Thy Will Be Done. We are now entering the 35th week of the year and the 35th card in the deck is the Nine of Diamonds.
The Nine of Diamonds is the ?Philanthropist? card
Diamonds symbolize our values or things that are important.? The number 9 is the highest number in the Universe.? We cannot go higher or beyond the number 9 without adding another number or changing the rule. ?The Nine of Diamonds means the Highest Value which in this case means giving.? The philanthropist is one who gives to give in comparison to others who give in order to get.? Giving and receiving are one and inseparable, you cannot give without receiving is the law.? Selfless giving activates a spiritual dynamic that keeps us refilled and without lack.? Giving of oneself in the spirit of service to others leads to greater glory.
A sure way to advance into the higher realm of human experience is by being available in a non-distracted way to Life?s messages being sent to you.? ?Sometimes we may find ourselves in troubling situations because Life is trying to get our attention.? For example, ?what we resist will persist? so let?s be careful not to try to squeeze the infinite vastness of Life into our narrow perception of the way we think it should be.? There?s no need to compete with anyone else when we stay focused on our own self improvement.? The 4 areas of our life to improve and master according to the deck are:?
1.???? ? Emotionally 2. ? Mentally? 3.? Financially? 4.? Spiritually?
With the gift of each day we get better at mastery in these 4 areas.? We are on right on track in ways to reveal more of our greatness.? Today we are better than the person we were yesterday and tomorrow we will be even better, exceeding all expectations.? We give kindness, respect, compassion and forgiveness to our immediate surroundings and this activates a dynamic within the reflective nature of the universe making all of these good, highest and best things return to us.
Giving becomes easier when we dismiss or escape from the illusion of scarcity, lack and limitation.? In truth, there are more stars than we can count, more air than we can breathe, more water than we can drink, more websites than we can click on, more people than we can meet and more opportunities than we can ever learn about.? It is from this overflow consciousness and not the illusion of scarcity that we give freely and often.
Our Life comes each day as a gift.? Life is not a problem needing to be solved.? Life is a gift to be lived, appreciated and enjoyed.? The purpose of all Life is for the expansion of happiness.? The purpose of your individual life is for your soul to become spiritually awake.? Choosing to give and be of service reveals honor and gratitude for Life itself. We now willfully accept the absolute truth about Life for all that it is and for all that it?s not.? Life is sacred, beautiful and better than good unless you choose to use your power to convince yourself otherwise.
Eternal Blessings
This week?s message is dedicated to Shawn Tempesta, Morning TV Show Host and Afternoon Radio Show Host.? He is seen weekdays on ?The Morning Blend? KTNV channel 13.?

Mila Kunis' Ashton baseball date
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher enjoyed a double date with her parents last night (22.08.12).
The couple - who have reportedly been dating since April - attended an LA Dodgers baseball match in Los Angeles with Mila's mother and father and the foursome looked to be having a great time together.
Mila and Ashton - who have always refused to confirm speculation they're an item - donned blue and white Dodger's gear for the event and sat in the exclusive Lexus Dugout Club with her parents, and they were even seen holding hands at one point.
However Mila's parents aren't set to become Ashton's in-laws any time soon as she recently revealed she doesn't think there is any ''need'' for marriage.
The 29-year-old actress isn't keen on tying the knot in the near future because she believes the most important thing about a relationship is the bond between two people rather than whether they have confirmed their love in a contract.
She said: ''I would love to find 'The One'. But I'm not sure about marriage. I see no need. I'll be with somebody because I want to, not because a piece of paper tells me I have to. That said, if the love of my life thinks it's important, then fine, I'll get married.''
Mila previously had a long-term relationship with Macaulay Culkin while Ashton was married to Demi Moore.
