"Forget everything you've heard about frankness, sharing your feelings, getting him to express his. Research into the functions of the male mind makes it clear that discussion may be the fastest way to shut down communication. (Oh, you noticed that, have you?)"

"The number one myth about relationships is that talking helps. The truth is, more often than not, it makes things worse," says Love, a tall, lean redhead with a down-home Texas twang and a generous smile. She is cofounder of the Austin Family Institute, and leads workshops around the country when she isn't making television appearances or cowriting books, including the best-selling Hot...

"Britons around the world have inundated the country's 261 far-flung consulates with so many inane calls with such frequency that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has had to put up a statement on its Web site clarifying what situations constitute an actual emergency -- by highlighting what doesn't."

-- A Briton, on vacation in Italy, called to inquire where he can find a particular brand of shoes. -- A mother asked the consulate in Florida to help her son pack his suitcase and give him a ride to the airport because he wasn't feeling well. -- And a British woman in a foreign country wanted the embassy to step in because she was unhappy with her breast enlargement surgery.

"Hundreds of gay men have been tortured and killed in Iraq in recent months, some by the nation's security forces, Human Rights Watch said Monday. Interviews with doctors indicate hundreds of men had been killed, but the exact number was unclear because of the stigma associated with homosexuality in Iraq, the New York-based watchdog group said in its report."

"We have testimony that indicates that the nation's security forces are taking part in the attacks," Long said. The group interviewed more than 50 people who gave accounts of abuses, beatings and stops at security checkpoints, he said.

The advent of state-of-the-art 3D imaging means that these high-tech urns can be made to look like anyone.

"Franco Costanzo (played by Jerry Stiller) might have a bit of an anger problem. In full view of the television cameras at the end of a match against FC Zurich, the Argentinian goalkeeper for Basel was unhappy with teammate Beg Ferati and verbally admonished him. Ferati then pushed Costanzo, who amazingly for an Argentine didn’t immediate flop to the ground, but instead grabbed Ferati’s hair."

Spooky: No matter what i do for the last week plus the posting at the bottom of my FF first page is the "CIA report: Israel will fall in 20 years." It's creepy it's like it's following me, I don't know how it's possible to lock a posting onto ones first page but there it is day after day no matter if i get a thousand posts a day or one. Ahhh

At 80-plus years old Omar Mohammed has never heard of population control. He lives in India's most populous state Uttar Pradesh and has certainly done his part in contributing to India's burgeoning population. "Now you see I have 24 children, 13 boys and 11 girls," Omar says. Omar believes only God can decide how many children you should have. He lifts his hands to the sky and says: "This is His command. It's not my doing, it's His doing."

"Well, Chicago has its fair share of morons, too. And the biggest moron Wednesday was this guy. Not only did the guy throw a beer at a player while the ball was in play, he had enough class to allow another drunk fan to get thrown out on his behalf. And, when questioned by security, he claimed it wasn't him. He obviously forgot that the game was on THREE different television networks (if he even remembered his own name at this point), so the entire country got to see what kind of jerk he is. And this shouldn't be taken lightly. What this guy did was extremely dangerous. And it's not the first time fans in Chicago assaulted someone on the field. Sure, this is just a beer and not a vicious beating of a first-base coach, but it's still a criminal act. And it's the exact same thing that started a melee from which the NBA still hasn't fully recovered."

"The first celebrity gifts on Facebook are now on sale, and who is at the forefront of this e-commerce revolution? Britney, of course. The pop star Britney Spears, who is described on her blog as an "international icon," has loaned her likeness or related images to a series of virtual gifts that Facebook users can send to one another. A couple of them show her singing, a couple others show her on-stage outfits and one perhaps hints at a political message by showing a rainbow-colored balloon labeled "Britney Pride" (Spears has spoken out in support of gay marriage)."

"This is hands down my favorite dessert to make when asked to bring a dish to someone else’s party or when entertaining myself. The reasons? For one thing it can be made ahead and transports well, secondly no one suspects it is gluten-free and everyone loves it even those who sneer at following a gluten-free lifestyle but mostly because it is so fabulous that I can’t resist eating any leftovers and as we all now know, I can’t be trusted with half a peanut butter pie sitting around!"

Hmm Pedro Martinez is about to start for first time in forever for Philies against the wide receiver from Notre Dame making his first ever start (Smardja - or however the hell ya spell that). I dislike Martinez (he was a Red Sock so it's a rule) and I hate Notre Dame. I will route for a 25-25 tie.

House question: Adding blown in insulation to attic. Any ideas for marking the junction boxes so they can still be found after a foot of cellulose fiber is added on top of them?
"A 60-year-old man was found guilty on Tuesday of groping a woman while she was in costume as Minnie Mouse at Walt Disney World. John Moyer, who is a grandfather, was sentenced to two days in jail, which he has already served, 180 days of probation and 50 hours of community service."

"Houston police said George Vera, 25, was arrested Aug. 2 and taken to the city jail. He spent a day there before being transferred to the Harris County Jail. After being there for 14 hours, going through intake procedures, he was taken to the showers, the final step before going to his cell. There, Vera told police he had a 9mm handgun on him, along with 2 clips."

Are we being too tolerant of gluten-intolerance? - By Daniel Engber - Slate Magazine - http://www.slate.com/id...
"Ironically, the people who may benefit most from the current vogue are those who have been G-free all along. The proliferation of gluten-free products has made life for a full-blown celiac easier than it's ever been, and a greater awareness of gluten-related disorders has more celiac patients getting diagnosed than ever before. (There are still thought to be millions of undiagnosed cases in the United States.) Let's hope those gains aren't erased when the conventional wisdom shifts again and we leave this diet craze behind us."

Okay I posted this but I'd just like to say I think the author is a complete moron without a point. And the answer to the question posed in the title is NO. It's still nearly f-ing impossible to live gluten free in CA for those of us who have to.

"The mere fact that someone who cuts out gluten feels better doesn't mean that he has an autoimmune disease or a wheat allergy or some other medical condition. Any kind of restrictive diet can help alleviate gastrointestinal distress. If you're paying more attention to what you eat, there's a good chance your symptoms will lessen. That's not because gluten or red meat or another food is...

and steve's right, it's really hard to find grocery stores in l.a. that cater to people with dietary restrictions. it seems like most places have one or two token items, like a box of gluten-free cookies, but you have to search several stores to find enough food to stock a pantry. i can't imagine what it's like in the rest of the country.

In Ohio, it really isn't that bad, but our groceries are much larger and nicer than the space constrained ones in California

Yeah Jessie it's usually 3 or 4 stores to complete a grocery list on restricted diets here in CA. :(

I like gluten, especially seitan. I think the article is wrong about the digestability of gluten. According to wikipedia: "Worldwide, gluten is an important source of nutritional protein, both in foods prepared directly from sources containing it, and as an additive to foods otherwise low in protein" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

"The Chevrolet Volt, GM's electric car that's expected to go on sale in late 2010, is projected to get an estimated 230 miles per gallon, the automaker announced Tuesday. That exceptionally high government mileage rating could give the Volt a major boost. For the first time, car buyers will easily be able to compare electric cars with ordinary gas-powered cars."
