You are Gordon Freeman, a young research associate in the Anomalous Materials Laboratory.
You have limited security clearance and no real idea of just how dangerous your job has become, until the morning you are sent alone into the Test Chamber to analyze a strange crystalline specimen.
A routine analysis, they tell you. Until something goes wrong…

New research has found that you can actually “trick yourself” into believing that you are over someone. It’s basically a placebo effect—like when people are given a pill they are told is a drug, but in fact, it is just sugar. Yet they feel better because they believe the pill helped them.

We all hear the reasons that are commonly cited for divorce—stress brought on by money issues, becoming parents, overwork, and/or a lack of sex. While these are all factors in marital unhappiness, several studies point to a one common thread—change. Let’s face it, everyone changes as they mature and grow older, and this leads to a change in relationships. And apparently, when someone changes and their partner doesn’t, or vice versa, it can contribute heavily to divorce.

You might be thinking, well I know that answer. After all common sense tells us that we don’t function the same without sleep. While that is true and simple on the surface, how sleep deprivation specifically impacts communication may surprise and inform you.

A piece titled You May Want to Marry My husband was published in the New York Times Modern love column on March 3, 2017. It was written by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, who finished it 10 days before her death on March 13. What is remarkable about this piece is not that she wrote it so close to her death—it is the topic and how she delves into it that will leave every reader touched and a bit haunted.

Much is made about the importance of friendship to women. Our social contacts and circles are where we draw a lot of support, empathy, understanding, and a sense of connectedness from. But why is it so different for men?

Unfortunately it has more to do with you finding that right person than you may think. As James Carville said, “It’s the economy, stupid.” In a world that is rapidly shrinking, with the world’s economies increasingly interdependent on one another—what happens when U.S. jobs are lost to nations like China, there is a direct impact on our individual citizens.

If you think your relationship is the only one that is lacking a good sex life—think again. A new study has just been published in the journal Archives of Sexual behavior that showed a drop in sexual activity that crosses gender, race, religious, educational and work status lines. Unpartnered folks have traditionally had less sex than partnered ones and though that continues to be true—married people are showing the sharpest decline in sexual activity overall. Ouch, there goes the “marriage advantage.”

If you are single and dating and are not familiar with Tinder, you are rare indeed. Tinder has been ranked as the #1 most downloaded lifestyle app for 2 years and counting. Yet if offers little information to users about potential matches. So why is it so popular?

Are you a successful ecommerce vendor, or a newbie just learning the ropes? Either way, there are always new things to learn about the industry and new ways to improve your operations.

After posting the Hot Stuff pin, I thought it would be nice to create a Jigidi puzzle for the Hot Stuff doll. In between the Richie Rich inflatable pillow and the Hot Stuff doll was the Richie Rich Inlaid Puzzle, so I created a Jigidi for it too, enjoy!

Epic Home Ideas

Welcome to our gallery collection of the most popular types and styles of houses from around the world. According to researchers at ScienceDirect.com, Asia was one of the first global locations to develop rudimentary building design now ironically referred to as first examples of “green architecture” on the planet.

These primitive examples of different types of houses are lost in time as a direct consequence of using organic materials.

Yet as societies advanced... Читать дальше...

I have been seriously considering getting another dog for at least a year now. But with Charlie's fear-aggressive issues toward other dogs, I was skeptical whether we could make it work. Fortunately, Charlie has done great with all the work we've done to get her ready... and it finally happened!

I had been searching rescue ...

On Point, Tom Hill Garden Design

Yesterday, I spent a pleasant day down in Berkshire visiting the inaugural Ascot Spring Garden Show and also The Savill Garden.  It was particularly interesting to me as I grew up near Ascot and Windsor, only moving to Malvern in 2000, so the day proved to be a real trip down memory lane.

In Los Angeles, traffic is inevitable. You’re going to hit it no matter where you’re going or whenever you decide to get to drive. Since I find myself in my car quite often, I’ve taken a serious liking to podcasts. I listen to at least one episode a day and I’ve found that it not only makes my commute go by quicker, but I also feel like I am keeping up with the news, laughing more, and learning something newRead More →

While trying to get back into the swing of things with an at least better internet connection, but still limited on bandwidth compared to what it was, I'm looking to get some much procrastinated organization done. 
I've been lazy for some time with using this busted laptop connected to an external monitor. It's not for lack of having an alternate computer; I have at least enough in my closet to put together three desktop systems, plus a few laptops. 
I've been putting off doing a mass transfer of all the files I've collected... Читать дальше...

Choosing the right design for your figure –

1920s fashion – dress for your silhouette

When planning or selecting clothes, the body should be thought of as a unit.
Garments should be chosen, not as an isolated hat, blouse or skirt, but as part of a whole scheme.
The main parts of the 1920s silhouette are:
1. The mass of the head, including the hair, whether arranged high, low, wide at the sides, or a close crop.
2. The ...

This is a biggie if we are going to propose arming teachers with handguns to combat mass shooters: especially if the teacher has a handgun and the shooter has a rifle.

Let's get some bullshit out of the conversation here since the term assault rifle was a creation of the gun manufacturers. There's more than enough documentation for this with things like this copy of Guns & Ammo. Toss in that the StG-44 is the accepted grandadddy of these guns. StG-44 means Sturmgewehr 44, ...

Lara Zwaan knows her thing and we totally appreciate the simple way she explains her vision. 

As another season of, “The Walking Dead,” comes to a close, it’s time to reflect. This little zombie show that could has come a long way in the past eight seasons.

Marriage is the beginning of a new life between two different persons. It is a remarkable journey of togetherness. This has to be something special. Both of you deserve to make this ‘walking-hand-on-hand-together’ special.
