Think about your role in the fight and try to identify at least three things you know you did wrong. This will help you to build a genuine apology for her later. Sometimes fights happen when we are in a bad mood, tired, or hungry. Were any of these conditions relevant in your case? Did you fly off the handle with your mom simply because you have a bad day at school?...

Take a look at the inexpensive pine tree. All pine species have the longer needles than other Christmas trees, which some species like the Scotch Pine are sharp and require gloves. Others like the White Pine are soft but the branches are weak and can’t hold many heavy ornaments. Consider the popular and expensive Fir family. This Rolls Royce or Cadillac tree family gets it’s name for it’s soft non-prickly needles....

For example, if you have a text file, you’ll see “Text Document (. txt)” to the right of the “Type of file” heading. If you see “File folder” listed as the file type, you’ll have to close the Properties window, click once the file you want to check, and then right-click it again and click Properties. For example, if your file is on the desktop, your command might read cd C:\Users\YourName\Desktop....

If you’re addicted, try limiting, rather than deleting your Minecraft experience. You might try putting a strict limit on the amount you can play each day; that way, you’ll have lots of other time to do other things. While it may seem hard at first, the self-restraint you’ll learn from this will actually help you in many other ways. Because there is a monetary value associated with a Minecraft account, it may be preferable to give the account away to someone who might get enjoyment out of it, rather than deleting it completely....

Just the same, a big responsibility you have in the quest for the right treatment is to clearly describe your back pain to your healthcare provider. Sometimes that can be an art form in itself. To prepare for that all-important conversation with your healthcare provider, you might consider keeping a pain journal for a few weeks leading up to your appointment. In fact, many people who live with persistent pain are long-term committed journal keepers....

If another Democrat had won the White House, Hillary would be on his (or her) short-list for the cabinet. But in the Clinton administration, Hillary has a wider role to play. The expectation among friends and aides is that she will act as an unofficial chief of staff. Not that she will have an office in the West Wing, but she will find a way to oversee everything. And having an old family friend like Mack McLarty as chief of staff makes it an easy fit....

It is caused by a lack of ganglion cells (nerve cells) at the end of the colon and rectum. Normal peristalsis requires these ganglion cells, so without them, you don’t get the wave-like contractions of the intestines that move things along, causing them to become contracted and blocking the passage of stool out of the colon. This leads to constipation, which is the classic symptom of this disorder. Symptoms Newborn babies will usually pass their first bowel movement (the black tarry meconium) within the first twenty-four hours of life....

So what will work? The new government of Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani is betting on what U.S. officials would identify as a classic counterinsurgency strategy: deploying the military while winning hearts and minds by pouring aid into the tribal regions where extremists hide out. The Bush administration adopted such a policy for the Sunni insurgents in Iraq, but for some reason it’s not entirely ready to do so in Pakistan....

As most U.S. military experts now acknowledge, these tactics violated the most basic principles of counterinsurgency, which require winning over the local population, thus depriving the bad guys of a base of support within which to hide. Such rules were apparently unknown to the 4th ID commander, Maj. Gen. Ray Odierno. The general is a particular and deserving target of Ricks’s book, which is perhaps the most exhaustive account to date of all that went wrong with Iraq....

Stanford was a 41-point underdog with a walk-on quarterback heading into Los Angeles in Harbaugh’s first season, but the Cardinal beat the Trojans, 24-23. Can Harbaugh have similar success in his first season at Michigan, when he’ll have to take on the power program that Urban Meyer has built at Ohio State? SN’s Matt Hayes says Harbaugh history could repeat itself. MORE: Five teams to watch in recruiting | SN early Top 10 | 10 burning questions...

Despite an unblemished 16-0 record and the fact that he holds the WBA junior lightweight championship, Garcia has been installed as a prohibitive 9-1 underdog in this all-southpaw matchup. Those odds suggest that this is simply target practice for “Tank” Davis. Yes, the real Garcia fight — against Ryan — is mooted to take place in the spring with both sides reportedly having reached an agreement in principle. These fighters have been on a collision course for years and their showdown is one of the most eagerly anticipated in world boxing....

This article describes the different types of skin lesions that can appear in people living with HIV and how to manage these symptoms. HIV-Related Herpes Herpes is an extremely common viral illness. It refers to infections caused by two different types of herpes simplex virus (HSV)—HSV-1 or HSV-2.

The child, named Olivia, was born with the virus. Earlier attempts to adopt out the girl had not been successful, with prospective parents apparently being wary of the child’s HIV status. That all changed after married couple Damian Pighin and Ariel Vijarra agreed to adopt the girl when she was only 28 days old. They said that they knew the adoption was right when they instantly felt affection towards the child....

Abu Ahmed is one of Hizbullah’s point men in the reconstruction of the dahiye , the Shiite-dominated southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital that housed Hizbullah’s offices and TV station that were hit hardest by the Israeli attacks of recent weeks. Outside his office, many neighborhood residents have lined up with deeds and other official papers to request compensation. Abu Ahmed claims that Hizbullah is paying out an average of $12,000 dollars, roughly equivalent to one years’ rent in the neighborhood, to families who lost their homes during the monthlong war....

The Latino workers, who comprise two-thirds of the plant’s labor force, traced their disgruntlement to the beginning of the month. That’s when Smithfield began mailing out scores of “no-match letters,” indicating discrepancies between the names and Social Security numbers workers furnished to the company and records on file with the Social Security Administration. Those laborers who were unable to rectify the problem were dismissed. According to Smithfield, it was all done to comply with an employer program run by the Department of Homeland Security....
