My friend is fighting for her life. Prayer requests are going out and prayers are going up. Family members are flying to be by her side. Facebook is lit up with posts of love and support for her and her family.

Words. Prayers. Hope. That's all we can offer.

This morning I took my usual walk with our dogs around a cemetery at a little Methodist church across the street from our home. My friend is on my mind. I'm remembering we went to a little bar in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, our hometown. Читать дальше...

It allows pirating at a simple click of a button and is causing Hollywood a headache.

This year I gave up my gym membership. Why? Not because I’m too lazy to exercise. In fact, I like exercise, need exercise. Without a good amount of it, I get the heebie-jeebies. Even with it, I still get the heebies, but at least that’s better. Anyway, what I’m too lazy to do is go to the gym. It’s just too much of a hassle to drive there, go to the locker, remember the combination, change clothes, wait your turn for the elliptical, the treadmill, or whatever, all the while with the heebie-jeebies unassuaged.

Allen Johnson and his dog Co-Co in the early 1940's

Allen Johnson Jr., 79, has lived a life filled with adventure, travel and success, but he insists, "My life peaked at nine." He has written a memoir and books of poems and essays, often reflecting on the unfettered joy of growing up under the "benign neglect" of his parents and the loving guidance of black employees in his parents' large Alabama home surrounded by forest in Mountain Brook, an affluent suburb of Birmingham.

Knowing your face shape can come in handy, especially when deciding on a new haircut or which bangs hairstyle works best for you. But discovering whether you have an oval or diamond-shaped face isn't always as easy as looking in the mirror.

In the video above, the team at Birchbox shares a simple trick to figuring it out, and like many great moments in life, the process involves taking a selfie.

You'll need a camera or phone, a sheet of paper, printer and permanent marker. Читать дальше...

Labor Day is upon us, which sadly means that summer is coming to a close. It was great while it lasted -- there were many delicious seasonal foods enjoyed, but all good things must come to an end. Before we say goodbye to the most abundant of seasons, there's one last chance to indulge in summer's greatness: Labor Day.

Who doesn't like French fries? The answer is no one. Unless maybe you're a monster. 

We've all been calling grilled cheese sandwiches by an entirely false name. These sandwiches are great, there's no denying that -- but unless you're actually grilling your sandwich outside or indoors on a grill pan, these beauties are usually pan-fried in a skillet, and not grilled at all. We're not here to discuss the how and why of this strange fact, but we are going to present a novel idea: grilling the classic grilled cheese sandwich.

Rules are made to be broken -- especially when it comes to fashion. You should definitely wear white after Labor Day, and you can rock mom jeans. Also, contrary to popular belief, you can absolutely wear florals in the fall.

If you struggle to touch your toes, this yoga sequence is for you.

 In the video above, Udaya instructor Caley Alyssa demonstrates a gentle yoga sequence that'll improve your range of motion and help you get a lot more bendy. The positions will be more difficult at first; your hips and back may feel tight and you might struggle to get your hands past your knees, especially if you sit for most of the day.

Don't let the strain discourage you -- it's entirely normal... Читать дальше...
