A new study by researchers at the Bradley Hasbro Children's Research Center has found that children as young as four can develop full-blown obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and often exhibit many of the same OCD characteristics typically seen in older kids. The study, published online by the Journal of Psychopathology and Behavioral Assessment, is the largest sample of young children with OCD p

Cover blown with this mono shot. Euro rustic. French cafetiere, Zassenhaus grinder, Italian balsamic and a Spanish garlic squisher. All lurking on the windowsill and part of a casual test shot. Didn't really notice until it came out of the camera. Gulp. Not so London Streets now. I'd better post a picture of a red bus quickly, to compensate.

My liberal friends were outraged when rumours about Barack Obama attending a Madrassa or being a Muslim surfaced on the internet, but all week they have been gleefully trading emails of Sarah Palin distortions.There was the doctored picture of her carrying a rifle, wearing a stars-and-stripes bikini while a man in the background drank Schlitz beer.

Still working to fix isolated problems with its latest iPhone models, Apple is fielding a new report Tuesday from Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, which said there have been new cases of iPods overheating and scorching nearby materials.

Strange that almost immediately after losing control of Central Asian Gas and Oil, the BP run BTC pipeline is blown up (sabotage denied by Turkey, but claimed by Kurds) and then a war is provoked in Georgia. And maybe anti-Russian propaganda is the only reward for our oil barons in the White House. But hey it could work, hasn't Iraq and everything else been sold to the public? Here are the smal

Do you like glass sculptures? I think that there is nothing better than one of them to furnish an room and to improve its value...especially if you can find something "unique". Obviously, finding good products isn't too simple: not only forms but also materials (and obviously artists that have created them) are important. After a deep search over the net, I've finally found the Hand Blown Glass si

As season 4 draws to a close, it's a good time to reflect on the vast, three year history of Lost episode recaps on the CDP. With Lost Friday/Monday about to ride off into the sunset for the final time, I thought it would be a good opportunity to showcase those moments where I blew it in the worst way.A show like Lost lends itself to wild speculation and theorizing; we've all done it.

It is really disappointing to observe lately what is going on in the markets, especially commodity markets and energy commodities in particular.

Oh. Me oh my. I thought I had it licked, or at least in control. Thursday past, I discovered the Whole Foods Market on Houston St. and Ave A (?) in The Village. I was down there looking for a dread stylist I found on the net, since I'm rocking dreads now. Anyways, as I was walking up Houston, trying to find the address of this dread diva, there before my eyes it rose up from the concrete...WHOLE. FOODS. MARKET!!!!O.M.G.!!! Ok, you all know I'm a fiend for that place! Here I was on a whole other mission, and out of nowhere I'm greeted by this lovely surprise! :DSo, I went in and completely luxuriated in my WF fixation, still tickled to death by the spontaneity of it all. Too delicious! The one on Houston is sooooo big, and it's nice and relaxed down there, instead of crowded like the on

April 16, 2008A front row seat to an American Idol performance just might be the best medicine. At least that’s the diagnosis from Adam Cook’s friends and supporters in Terre Haute, Ind., who arranged a $45,000 trip on a chartered medical jet to Los Angeles for David Cook’s brother so he could see him perform. Adam, who is undergoing chemotherapy for brain cancer, watched his brother David, an Idol favorite, perform Mariah Carey’s hit “Always Be My Baby” from a front row seat during Tuesday’s live broadcast. “I am blown away,” he said in an interview Wednesday with B1027.FM, a local radio station that helped facilitate his trip. “The support of the community made this possible, it literally just lifted my spirits to know I’m from Terre Haute. That might sound corny, b

Have you experience mildew odor of air that’s coming out from your vehicle A/C vent? If so, then your vehicle A/C system has a drain pan problem, your evaporator drain pan is probably not draining due to a clog somewhere on the drain pan. Evaporator is the main component of the A/C system that makes the air blows cold from you’re A/C vent, the process is that when the A/C is turned on, an air is blown from the blower and passes through the fins of you’re A/C evaporator which then comes out thru you’re A/C vent as cold air. During the process especially on hot and humid days, moisture is formed on the evaporator and drips down to the evaporator drain pan, which then pass through a hose all the way to the streets. When the drain pan does not drain due to clog, the moisture will ge

Easter, of course, is about rebirth. About rolling the stone away and finding new, uplifted life. I won't belabor the metaphor, but on some level it works for where I was at last night. As the day drew to a dreary close after various rain showers and even a spattering of hail, I didn't feel like going out. I wanted to stay home and curl up with a book, warm and comfortable.Yet, there was this group called Brass Menazeri in town from the Bay Area. I'd been playing their CD, and greatly enjoying their take on Balkan and Romani brass music. So I dragged myself downtown and into the icebox of Art House Designs, where a smattering of people lined the walls around the open floor, and a few people wandered around carrying various windings of shiny metal tubes.I love live music. And just being the

Today my routine for checking out a swimming pool light.Just like the one in the image to above.The tools, if you can't use these tools you should not try to work on your own pool light.Screw drivers, medium size straight and slotted, voltage meter/tester, electrical tape, needle nose pliers, thick towel, sharpie pen, safety glasses and gloves.First I look at the pool light.If it has water in the fixture, that's a problem.A new fixture may be in order, often after being wet inside they are ruined.If I see no water in the fixture and the bulb is not clearly blown. Blown looks like a dark spot one the bulb if you can see past the lens.When I arrive I ask to see the pool light switch. I always start there. Pulling out a light to find a tripped circuit breaker is not a good thing.I test the sw

Today I got totally blown away by my 4pm little girls class!! They left me speechless? The youngest girl (Yu) who just turned 6 is the best of them all. They really want to do diaries so I said "You can't do that till you can read". Well.....BAM!!! They can read? Not just read.....I mean READ!!One of them is 8 and she has an 11 year old brother. (Siblings are VERY competitive....apparently?) because last week I said, "your brother is doing this already , so c'mon...let's go already! Well, a week later and she is reading about as good as him. I guess I found her "button". I will only push when necessary ...**cough**.This is the second class in 2 days that has jumped a level like it wasn't there.

I’m going to be frank. I’ve had a lot of awesome stuff on Toy Bender in the past, but I think this is the most awesome and mind blowing thing I’ve run across so far. Oh yes, your eyeballs did not deceive you. I’ve run across pics of the coolest Lego set ups in the history of Lego. It’s a massive aircraft carrier of almost unbelievable proportions. This thing is so massive that the nerd who built it is dwarfed by his mad creation: (more…)

The Bank of America 500 weekend started out great for Ryan Newman with his fifth Bud Pole Award this season and his seventh pole at Lowe's Motor Speedway. In all three weekend practice sessions, Newman was in the top 10. But everything soured just three laps from the checkered flag Saturday night when he cut a tire while leading, dropping from first to a 28th-place finish."I couldn't tell if it felt a little spongy before, but obviously, the car was plenty fast," Newman said. "I felt it pop and it spun around and hit the wall. We tried to complete some more laps after that, but that was it."When the green flag waved at the beginning of the scheduled 334-lap race, Newman started strong, leading the first nine laps.Newman reported the car was a little loose at first, but then it went to the tight side. However, when Newman came in for his first pit stop during the second of 15 caution flags, crew chief Michael Nelson called for right-side tires and fuel only,

I tried to avoid posting about the new Autopilot Advertising by Eva & Jules of Ezines-R-Us because I didn't want this Blog to become an advertising board. After spending some time setting up my Autopilot Advertising, I realize it would simply be an injustice to my readers and subscribers if I didn't mention it. I'm just blown away by Autopilot Advertising.You snooze you loose and I didI've had something very similar of my own brewing in the background for our future site All Pro Ads. We even decided on the same script several months ago. But as we were sitting on our hands taking our time Ezines-R-Us built an amazing package of advertising benefits that include memberships to many sites. I'm not at all insinuating Ezines-R-Us took my idea, the concept is not new at all. We were simply thinking along similar lines and they worked hard to get it done.It was a no-brainer!I joined the second I realized what it was. I'm well aware of the benefits such an advertising

For the second time in a month, saboteurs blew up sections of the Premex oil pipeline resulting in many factories forced to suspend operations. The explosions took place in the provinces of Veracruz and Tlaxcala where members of the People’s Revolutionary Army (EPR) carried out the raids. They announced the destruction of pipelines was part of their “national campaign of harassment” against the federal government. America continues debating issues related to Mexican immigrants while failing to address more important needs –how to stimulate the Mexican economy in order to produce jobs and meaningful living standards for its inhabitants.

This image is being posted to participate in a project by a fellow photographer that he has titled: Blown Away.This image has overexposed highlights along the upper edge of the pink blossom as well as the upper part of the stem where it is attached.Try as I might with Photoshop, I wasn't able to "fix" this problem, which could have been avoided when originally taking the picture.The image was darker originally, and any lightening that I attempted to do in the post processing only made the over exposed part more predominate.I have been trying to make a practice of bracketing exposures when shooting the images so I can study the differences.One thing about overexposed areas - the camera picks up no details whatsoever, and any attempt to gain them in post processing is useless - they are just not there. Better to underexpose in this instance so when the image is lightened, there will be some details to work with.

Brian Auer over at Epic Edits has started another photography blog project entitled “Blown Away”. “The topic is overexposure and the subject is a photo of yours. I want you to post a photo that exhibits overexposure, or blown-out highlights. If you need further definition or examples, visit my recent post titled “Should You Expose For Shadows Or Highlights?“. The image can be overexposed by the camera (which is really the intent of this project), or through post-processing.” Deadline is September 1st.

So I finally inspired myself to process this photo of the crow. After my article on exposure and after looking through gobs of underexposed and overexposed photos on Flickr, it put me in the mood for doing some blown out highlights. The article also inspired me to start up a group project called “Blown Away“, which asks readers to post an overexposed photo they’ve taken. So here’s one of my entries for the project. This photo was taken at the Petrified Forest, and it was really just an accident. I was going for the bird, but I wasn’t really going for overexposure of the background — my camera just happened to meter that way. So because of that, it’s the only shot I took with these exposure settings. I’m a little disappointed that I centered the bird in my rush to get a shot before it flew away, so I ended up cropping the image for better composition. The JPEG (1) was seriously blown out, but that’s what we’re going for

(Typically we file the stadium news under The Marquee to your right, but I felt this was a bigger deal; not just parking lots getting redesigned and who's got good wieners.)With the Orange Bowl deteriorating and lacking modern amenities such as luxury suites and video replays; the Miami Hurricanes will be moving to Dolphin Stadium starting in 2008. A proposed $206 million renovation plan put forth by the city of Miami was not enough to keep the University from leaving.

It’s that time again! Time to participate in a super-fun project here at Epic Edits. The last project on reader websites went pretty good, so I can’t imagine that you guys would let me down now.

It’s getting hot out there, and while driving your car, it might be even hotter! If you are driving a car without air condition, it might be hard to keep yourself cool, and what do you do? - You roll down your window, of course. I believe that everyone gets annoyed with the wind blowing up in their faces and into the ears, which almost makes you deaf. The only reason why you don’t roll up your window, is because of that chance you take - that you might drown in your own sweat, because its so damn hot! If you want to avoid this from happening, you could lean more into the middle of that car - but who wants to drive like that for 45 minutes? - NOT ME! I have been asking my friends and colleagues at work, and no one actually knew about this trick I am about to share with you. You can avoid being blown away wile driving in your car, with your window rolled down. All you have to do, is to roll down the window behind the drivers seat. By doing this, you make the air go in on yo

The clock has struck 12, and my normally unremarkable, mild-mannered Blogger dashboard has begun to emit a pulsing glow of newfound power. That's right; I'm guest-blogging on Blown Coverage today. And it just so happens that I have the honor of contributing Blown Coverage's 500th post. A-Rod: still stuck on 499. We are setting the pace.For those of you who don't know me, (most of you, I'm afraid, since I haven't yet introduced myself) I am the one and only Class Act from Between the Lines. One of the perks of the guest-blogging biz is the shameless self-promotion, so while I have the pulpit I'll just let you all know that BTL features humorous and informative critiques of sports journalism and sports media commentary, mostly about baseball, and often from a sabermetric perspective. The downside of this approach is that we can't avoid having a symbiotic relationship with the writers and on-air "talents" we so despise; if they don't say anything dumb, we usually don't say anyth

ORGANISERS said overnight that bad weather, rather than any grand planning on their part, has left Carnoustie in “great shape” for the 136th Open Championship which tees off tonight (AEST). Open Championship committee chairman Martin Kippax said that every player he had encountered had praised the Scottish links course’s condition, in sharp contrast to the brickbats it received when the event was last held there in 1999. But he denied there had been any concerted plan by the Royal and more…

My ears were practically blown back by the mesmerizing torrent of sound...That's how I felt when I stopped by Tucson's Access Tucson TV studios last night and happened upon Dan Harrigan's Noche de Sonora show...featuring that night Bisbee's Latin fusion band La Mezcla...

"Jim Harrelson founded La Mezcla in 2005, after traveling throughout Latin America and Europe. His influences range from the flamenco guitar rhythms, to Ruben Blades of Panama, and Silvio Rodriguez of Cuba. He was first introduced to Latin music by friends within the exiled Chilean community living in Montreal - His love of music grew as he lived and traveled throughout Mexico, Latin America and Europe. Jim’s unique adaptations of their songs, as well as his own song writing and playing, has won crowds over from Mexico to Arizona and even the streets of Amsterdam. Accompanied by jazz guitar

As they big day draws ever closer, I’ve been finding it harder to relax. I’ve found this particularly strange because if you asked me I’d tell you I’m not at all stressed about becoming a Dad. Quite the opposite, I’m looking forward to it. But then again, I just can’t relax. It’s so bad, in fact, that I’ve started lying in bed, half asleep, and I get palpitations in my chest and a throbbing in my head. Then a big wave goes through my body and I wake up. I’ll lie there for a bit, then the same will happen again. Now, is that an impending heart attack? Or am I paranoid? Am I worried about the baby? Can my body not slowly unwind and needs to do it in a big bang? Obviously as I’m a man, I won’t go to the doctor about this; I’ll either die or get over it. In the mean time, I’ll probably just worry about it a little. This, I believe, is the start of the downward spiral where I worry about being worried which worrie

Even though we live in a tropical climate (read: 90+ degrees Fahrenheit with 98% humidity every day), we have barely used the aircon in our mid-level apartment over the last two years. We have enough windows and doors throughout the apartment to let the air flow freely with just the use of our ceiling fan. Plus, we have the added advantage of having screens on every window and door - including our second balcony, which is all screened in - so there’s no danger of the dreaded Dengue mosquito pestering us. Most of the time, I just prefer fresh air anyway. I hate that feeling of being all sealed in. The first thing I do every morning is open all the windows and doors “to get some air moving” (yet another trait I get from my mother). But, lately it has seemed so hot (though I doubt the temperature has changed very much at all), that we are turning on the aircon almost every day. I’m not sure I like it… What about you? Are you all about the fresh air, or th

So it’s half time while watching Liverpool Vs Milan with my Liverpool supporting friend and some stranger I don’t know that I think is from Hertfordshire…. So he’s quite depressed, losing 1-0 unluckily. I told him Liverpool were doing much better and are bound to score. I don’t really think so. I don’t think they’ll score now. They’ll lose. I’m glad in a way they’re losing because one person

I don't know about you, but if someone told me he's chosen someone else, and says "This is not a rejection at all, but there's someone who's touched my heart deeper." Wouldn't you still feel lower than dirt?Though Andy was as gentle as he could be with Bevin, he could have sprinkled her with gold dust and she wouldn't have noticed. For those of you who didn't watch the show, guess who won the rose.Tessa got the rose and a ring. I don't want to sound like a cynic but how many of these couples in this formulaic show have made it beyond three months?

So, I was feeling a little adventurous and I decided that it would be cool to get some merchandise for this wasteland. You know, shirts, sweaters, caps, mousepads etc etc. So yeah, it's not enough that I force you to read below average writing, but now I'm going to shove you with awkward merch as well.I'm hoping to have it all up in the next two weeks, but I have the work ethic of a passed out snail so it might take a bit longer. Either way, get ready for your Blown Coverage "apparel" and chances are that they will feature simplistic animation like in the picture above.Yes, I really want to make shirt with the word "Lolz" on it....

So does this mean I should cross him off my fantasy baseball draft cheat sheets? I also heard the Devil Rays are still considering making him an offer.

He warned his teammates off, though some were quicker than others to catch on .When one person asked Derek Jeter where he saw them, he said, "Right by my head."                                         He didn’t seem too non-plussed about it, though some said they were a little freaked out. Yankees lose 8-7 on a walkoff RBI by the Reds’ Edwin Encarnacion. The Yankees were very pleased by Carl Pavano&rsqu
