I am impressed by the Real Housewives of Orange County’s Tamra Barney and her decision to remove her large breast implants in favor of going au naturel. Yes, she still had a breast lift, but the fact remains that the woman – now in her early forties – has had an epiphany of which many other women should take heed. Breast implants – especially large ones – can have a variety of health and comfort complications that aren’t worth the benefit, and many women are having them removed, too.

Child Rape: Penn State Assistant Coach Should Have Done More

Mike McQueary should have physically stopped the rape

I am sickened by the claim from Penn State’s Assistant Coach that he helped stop the child molestation being perpetrated by former Penn State Coach Jerry Sandusky. Do you know why?

For those of you who have been a little out of the loop on the Penn State scandal, let me give you a short background. Former coach Jerry Sandusky has been charged with multiple counts of child sex abuse over several years, leading to the resignation of at least two members, the firing of the Penn State President, and the firing of legendary coach Joe Paterno.

Black Friday Now Bleeding into Thanksgiving Holiday; Price-Matching Helps

Black Friday Specials | The Secrets of Price-Matching

As retailers gear up for one of the largest shopping weekends of the year, stores who traditionally opened early on Black Friday will be starting their specials even earlier this year: on Thanksgiving.

The store openings and specials have been starting earlier and earlier each year. Now Wal-Mart has revealed their Black Friday specials, some of which will begin at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving night. Target bumped its opening up this year too, opting to open at midnight. Best Buy, Macys and Kohls (see Kohls printable coupons) are also opening early this year, and I’m wondering when its all going to end.

“Notorious and Notable” at the Museum of City of New York

“Notorious and Notable: 20th Century Women of Style” is an exhibit drawn from the Museum of City of New York’s vast collection of costumes and textiles along with jewelry sourced from private collections through the National Jewelry Institute that attempts to showcase the style statements of 80 of New York’s celebrity women from the last century. More of a historical documentation than a pointer towards fashion trends, this exhibition is mounted on mannequins lined up in rows on both sides of an aisle, giving a viewer the experience of walking through the lives of those showcased.

Cloud computing is a term we’ve all heard recently, and if you’re like most people, it’s just the techie stuff that makes our mobile devices and other computer stuff work. It really means nothing other than that. But, now someone told me they have cloud service for their phone systems, too, so I was wondering just how the cloud computing system actually works, and if I needed to know more.
