What do you think each and every one of us can do to counter the impact and influence of porn as default sex education, everywhere?
Today hardcore porn is more freely and widely available online than ever before, thus accessible by kids at earlier and earlier ages (the average age at which porn is first viewed online is 11; a friend of mine recently found her 9-year-old son watching hardcore porn on her iPhone). At the same time, we do not as a society talk about sex openly; the majority of parents are too embarrassed to teach their kids about sex, and sex education is generally not taught in schools in a realistic and directly relevant way. As a result, and I can testify to this through my direct personal experience of dating younger men, an entire generation (guys and girls alike - girls watch and are as influenced by porn as guys are) is growing up believing that what you see in hardcore porn is the way that you have sex, with some very fundamental, ingrained negative impacts. As someone working to counter this with my venture http://makelovenotporn.com, I would love all thoughts and ideas from the TED community as to how we can collectively address what is, quite frankly, the single biggest impact technology is currently having on the most fundamental aspect of huma behavior - our sexuality, which informs everything to do with how we feel about ourselves, other people, our relationships, our lives and our happiness.
This is a global issue that is currently impacting everywhere.
We'll start this conversation at 1pm EST on Wednesday December 7. I am very much looking forward to conversing with all of you!
Closing Statement from Cindy Gallop
Everybody - I loved this conversation! Terrific free and frank exchange of views, many aligned. I found this enormously helpful, both to me personally as I take MakeLoveNotPorn forwards, but also in the context of the many friends I have who are all tackling different aspects of this whole area in different ways, and will also find a lot of this useful. Many thanks to everyone who participated - I really appreciate it. I hope to continue the conversation in due course, and certainly to add to and expand it when I and my team launch http://makelovenotporn.tv in spring 2012.

Dec 7 2011: Sebastien - do check out the 'About' page on http://makelovenotporn.com for just some of the emails I receive daily from young and old, male and female, all around the world, that demonstrate that this is indeed an issue. One that would never have crossed my mind if I had not encountered it personally. (I am not 'assuming' anything. :)
Cindy Gallop 200+Dec 7 2011: I freely admit I do have a specific personal bias: the issue I personally am tackling with MakeLoveNotPorn is not porn. The issue I am tackling is the lack in our society, as I mention above, of an open healthy dialogue around sex and porn, which would then enable people to bring a real-world mindset to the viewing of artificial entertainment.
Dec 7 2011: I think it's about taking more responsibility for our children's education all around. If you don't teach them about sex, someone else will be more than happy to do so and make money doing it. My concern with porn is how phallocentric it is. The woman is the center of attention but yet the pleasure is very male centric. Of course it's catered to males because of market demands and I think that biased view might be the most dangerous part. In pornography female pleasure comes second (if at all) and girls who receive a pornography education might see this as the norm thinking her pleasure as secondary.
Dec 7 2011: A lot of what I see on your webpage and talks is about the normative, what is considered "normal" by people. Now this of course has an impact on what they think is right or wrong. So this issue IS about morality after all. I personally believe that "dialogue" and "testimony" don't make science. They are not sufficient to point out there IS an issue, more that just behaviors shocking to our moral judgment. If we want to have an honnest debate about porn, it has to be grounded in psychology and medecine...
Dec 7 2011: Sebastien - I put http://makelovenotporn.com up on no money nearly three years ago now as a very basic, clunky, minimal website, and I have to admit I had no idea at the time of the extraordinary response it would engender. I'm happy to say that its next iteration as http://makelovenotporn.tv - launching spring 2012 - will correct what you are concerned about, and I hope you'll find it more relevant (I actually managed to find some funding for this after failing to for a very long time - people go all funny around anything to do with 'sex' and 'porn', as you can probably imagine :)
Dec 7 2011: Sébastien, I think you are totally correct that truly founded-opinions can only be based on scientific and psychological study. I think however that you have not researched the topic as fully as you should. Gail Dines is a sociologist who, unlike Cindy, is against porn culture entirely. She has studied and performed decades of research on the subject. This is a link to her website that might give you some more insight into just how damaging porn can be:
Dec 7 2011: Color me unconvinced. Your link seems more like a knee jerk reaction to social conditioning that sex is supposed to be something. Sex is always and has always been what you make of it. trying to put reins and blinders on it only drives it underground which is what got us in this mess with the kids in the first place. Drag it out into daylight and talk about it with an open mind. The answer is non-judgmental dialogue.

Ducks at Oilers, G26/07-08
Rage, anger and disappointment set aside, Chris Pronger is a beauty player. They say time heals all wounds (a lie) and that the sun will come out tomorrow (true).
For the diehard Edmonton Oiler fan, the fall from G7, SCF to today is almost beyond belief. We still sometimes sit in stunned silence, unable to believe what has happened to the town team.
None of it really matters. "At the end of the day" Chris Pronger got his Stanley, Edmonton remains a city (like Green Bay before Favre) that has a memory bank of rich and wonderful times and 27 miles of (mostly) bad road since spring 1990.
As time goes by, I have found a place in my heart for that beauty team that gave hope to youth and stirred powerful feelings in the aged a couple of springs ago. Pisani turning into Lafleur at the Red Wing blueline, Roloson going stone cold on Cheechoo, Pronger looking like a giant on the blueline, Smyth & Horcoff with the heart and Hemsky with the dagger.
The perfect note was held only for a moment in time, the riff was brief and had no sustain. The town that had too much to leave any doubt in 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988 and had some luck in 1990 ran out of it in spring 2006 and has since then been in a free fall.
Get well, Fernando, we'll see you soon. You are a champion by any measure.

Macon – The Greater Atlanta Christian boys had been in a few battles like this. They had already endured one of the most ambitious schedules in the state. So when Bleckley County erased a big lead, made a run and tied the game late in the third quarter, the Spartans never blinked. The result was a 69-52 win in the Class AA championship game.
Bleckley tied the game 40-40, much to the delight of the partisan, purple-clad fans from nearby Cochran that flooded the Macon Coliseum. GAC just kept grinding, kept scoring and kept denying and wound up outscoring the Royals 29-12 the rest of the way.
"We weren't going to be denied," said GAC guard Collin Swinton, one of only two seniors on the roster. "We had worked too hard and been through too much."
It is the third championship in four seasons for No. 1-ranked GAC, which has been motivated since its untimely exit in the second round a year ago. The Spartans (29-3) have now won six championships. No. 9 Bleckley County (28-4) was making its first trip to the championship game.
GAC's depth was simply too much for Bleckley. The Spartans had five players score in double figures: Troy Morrison with 17, Cam Boyd with 13, Isaiah Wilkins with 12, Justin Lewis with 11 and Swinton with 10. Wilkins had 12 rebounds and four assists and Morrison added eight assists.
"This is a very unselfish team," said GAC coach Eddie Martin. "They really play for each other."
Bleckley County was led by Rydealous Taylor with 20 points and seven rebounds and Demario Beck with 14 points and nine rebounds. Taylor made five of his team's eight 3-pointers.
The first quarter belonged to GAC from the opening tip. Boyd stroked a 3-pointer to start the scoring and Wilkins scored six of the next eight points as the Spartans started with an 11-2 lead. Bleckley missed seven of its first eight shots and was denied any rhythm by the GAC defense, until the Royals made a couple of short jumpers late to cut GAC's lead to 14-8 after one period.
GAC grew its lead to 21-11 before Bleckley found its stride. The Royals went on a 11-1 run and tied it on Beck's 3-pointer with 59 seconds left in the half. GAC took a 24-22 lead into the break when Swinton hit a pair of free throws.
Bleckley came out firing in the third quarter, making five of its first seven shots. The Royals surged ahd 30-26 on a pair of 3-pointers by Taylor. The senior went on to make four treys in the period. But it wasn't enough to keep GAC at bay. Led by Lewis, who scored three baskets in the final three minutes, the Spartans took a 44-40 lead into the fourth period.
GAC kept its momentum going by outscoring Bleckley 12-2 to open the fourth quarter. By the time the Spartans opened a double-digit lead at 52-42 with 5:43, they were content to be more patient on offense. It resulted in a basket by Swinton following a series of nice passes and a pair of free throws from Morrison after he was hacked under the basket.
Bleckley County (52): D'Andre Pitts 2, Rydealous Taylor 20, Demario Beck 14, Savon Walters 4, Jaderrick Farrow 9, Trinity Gilbert 1, Shunkendrick Brown 2.
GAC (69): Justin Lewis 11, Troy Morrison 17, Collin Swinton 10, Cam Boyd 13, Isaiah Wilkins 12, Garrett Covington 2, Tyler Hamilton 2, Charles Botchway 2
Halftime: GAC 24-22

Another example of the playing field not being level. All public schools should protest until private schools are put into a separate catagory. The private schools are winning the majority of all state championships. This is not fair.
March 9th, 2013

Wait until you see GAC next year!
March 9th, 2013
12:59 am
@ Tom. GAC lost two top players > one transferred to Buford last
year, and this year's top scorer I believe sat due to grades.
If you really believe that top public school programs don't have the
welcome mat out for transfers, let me know what the Easter bunny
brought you.
"This isn't fair" comes from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue a lot so
tell us how fair you think that is. Crybaby
March 9th, 2013

Maybe they should have 384 divisions so every team wins the state title. State championships are diluted enough. You must be the parents that started the participation trophy campaign. Should every private school be forced to be the same size too?
March 9th, 2013
7:16 am
Private schools should have to at least play in one class bigger, bring back the multiplyer rule…Majority of private schools rule in the lower classes simply because the rural counties simply cant go and pick up the "stud players" that lives in other counties …… Not a hater, enjoy watching some of these teams like GAC play ball, all i say is make them play up
March 9th, 2013
7:22 am
is the playing feild level in any sport this is why you have winners and losers with ghsa dont ask dont tell policy on trasnfers every program in ga. has the exact same oppurtunity to win it just depends on your coaching and how attractive you make your program to the elite players
(scholarships , national tournaments , uniforms, travel, and coaching) stop crying and get your boster club and school board to open there wallets and see what happens for your program.
March 9th, 2013
7:27 am
@hoops fan good point but it would be fair to the smaller private schools who dont recruit but i do belive ga should have a champions divison which certains teams are drafted into based on there dominance in a sport nomater the classifacation just the best of the best playing for a championchip
March 9th, 2013
7:43 am
Small rural pubic can not recruit because the distance for anybody to travel would be to great.
March 9th, 2013
7:49 am
@Pope Small rural schools have a fifth of the number of kids to pull from that GAC and other private schools pull from. The multiplier rule worked but the GHSA in their infinite wisdom pulled it. GAC and others need to put on their big boy pants and go play teams that pull from the same talent pool as them. I find it funny schools founded on Christian principles have no problem living in the gray area of the rulebook. Don't worry, GAC is not alone as this is the case all across the country with these private Christian schools that recruit to dominate sports. By the way, I'm a Christian so I am not a religion basher!!!
March 9th, 2013

GAC returns every player but two next year; and only lose one starter. Cameron Boyd is just a sophomore.
March 9th, 2013

1) GAC does not give scholarships. This is a fact – not an assumption. Some private schools do, GAC doesn't.
2) GAC does not recruit. There facilities are incredible, they're located .5 miles from I-85, they're 20 minutes from downtown Atlanta, they're in one of, if not the best county in the state, there academics are on another level, and they are relatively inexpensive when compared to other Atlanta area private schools.
3) This is not some "rich white kids" private school like many think. The halls in school are filled with every race, ethnicity, color, etc… that you can think of.
4) This team isn't filled with D1 transfers. They had zero transfers this year and only 1 player on the team hasn't been their since 9th grade.
5) They have a coach that's not too far off from winning 700 games. He puts them in big national tournaments, plays a tough non-region schedule, knows college coaches from all levels, and gets them mentally and physically ready to play at the next level. He doesn't just "roll the ball out" like some do. Coaching matters.
6) Their students grow up in a Christian environment. This is more important than any of the other things I've said. Yes, they have kids that do bad things and adults as well. It's called being a sinner. Only 1 person ever walked this earth that wasn't a sinner and that's the very person that these kids learn about and are taught to strive to be more like every day.
7)Nobody ever complains about the bad private school teams…only the good ones that win. Magnet schools and city schools have unfair advantages and without the high tuition.
Life's not fair and never will be.
Congrats to GAC on their championship and congrats to Bleckley County for an outstanding season.
March 9th, 2013

@PopeUGAXXIII; Transfering into a public school must be justified with a bonafide resident address in that particular school zone. A kid can not live in one school zone and attend school and play sports in another different school zone. That rule does not apply to private schools. That is the point I was making about the playing field is not level which gives private schools the advantage. Check out the GHSA policy on transfers so you will know what you are talking about.
March 9th, 2013
12:14 pm
If you transfer into a private school you still have to move. You can't just leave a school and enroll at a private school and be eligible. Your options of where you can live are bigger but the expense of moving is still there.
March 9th, 2013
2:53 pm
I grew up near Cochran and keep up with Georgia High School from afar. Smaller towns have to win the genetic lottery to go very far in the state playoffs. It was Bleckley County's first time ever in the Championship. This is a county that has been around since 1915. Schools like GAC and Buford and other schools (however you might want to justify it) have a yearly unfair advantage by virtue of the Atlanta Metro Population is over 5 million people which is more than the rest of the entire state combined. It's math and access. Yes, a kid has to live in a certain jurisdiction (right?) but seriously, what kid is going to leave Norcross for Cochran. Come on. I ask the fans of the big city schools to try and put yourself in the shoes of the kids and families of these small town/county schools who make it all the way to the championship maybe once a generation, or in the case of Bleckley County, once a century. And they play against these farm system schools who are national teams really. As opposed to having this totally uplifting, unifying experience, they can't help but feel it was never about true and fair competition. This glorious once in a lifetime (or two) experience will always be accompanied with a bitter pill. Enjoy your nearly yearly glory but it surely isn't God's.

@Dirk You want to tell me with a straight face Caleb King didn't get recruited or helped with tuition at GAC or that his brother was deserving of being hired as a coach at GAC?
March 9th, 2013
3:29 pm
Come on folks; Milton obviously was the only school to have undue influence on players; that's why the players who transferred were found to have made a bonafide move. And they were certainly given scholarships since it's a public school. What did Milton have to offer? I will say a possible solution in just basketball is to have a super league based on your success and transfers, starting with 9th graders.
March 9th, 2013
6:11 pm
Outside of GAC winning AA, and then A already being split anyway, which pretty much guarantees a Private school wins anyway (AND A PUBLIC SCHOOL DOES TOO), not ONE other private school made it past the Elite 8 in any classification (on the boys side). I do not remember a private school football team playing in the State final in AA-AAAA (exclude 5A and 6A because no private schools are that big) either. A is already split, and it doesn't seem like Private schools in AA-AAAA are winning ALL the state titles so far this year. Wrestling went to Publics across the board. GAC is the only Private school winner in bball looking at AA-AAAA. Football had no Private winners at all outside the sure thing in A. Softball was pretty much sweep by Public schools in AA-AAAA. I think the multiplier should come back, and we should go back to 5 classes.
March 9th, 2013
7:11 pm
I for one am TIRED of our public schools playing these private schools, they have the cards stacked against us, if there is a LAW SUIT filed include me in on the petition. These private schools KNOW they can dominate our public schools it's time for this to STOP. I am going to personally call GHSA next week, then if what I hear isn't what I want to hear, I am going to start the petition in Augusta, GA about this LOPSIDED mess. GAC, Wesleyan all those schools need to be playing each other. TIME OUT of this CRAP.
March 10th, 2013
1:47 pm
It doesn't really matter what GAC does or does not do. They better be counting their blessings that Jordan had a bad game against Bleckley so they didnt have to play them.
March 10th, 2013
4:32 pm
Good points made by Dirk and Tom also has a correct statement on
having to relocate either for public or private schools. From a scheduling
standpoint, GAC played 9 games against Georgia teams AAAA or higher
along with 2 holiday tourney games aginst strong Alabama teams. This
team is always ready come tournament time and plays under control at all
times. I'm not saying they would have beaten either Johnson or Savannah
in the AAA championship, but it would have been interesting.
As far as Caleb King goes, give it a rest – that's nearly 5 years old, and
most folks don't seem to recall that he also moved from Columbia over to
Parkview in the 8th or 9th grade.
March 11th, 2013
8:50 am
@Pope, Caleb was five years ago but you claimed in your post GAC NEVER recruits??? How did Caleb end up at GAC? Did he pay his own tuition and how did his brother get a coaching job there without a degree?????
March 11th, 2013
9:32 am
Funny to hear the private school b.s. Nobody recruits more than city schools like Buford, Gainesville, Calhoun, etc. If private schools have to play up, then every school that has a kid transfer would have to play up. You see transfers more at the above mentioned schools, plus the 6A Powers like Wheeler, Norcross and Milton (RIP David Boyd) Boyd recruited at every school he was at (Tucker, Berkmar & Milton) Funny how all those schools never won again after he left but they were not private schools either. In almost every case, the private school kids are there prior to 9th grade and end up losing their studs to the Public Schools. Now go pick up your free phone whiners.
March 11th, 2013
2:22 pm
Caleb King??? What year is this? Was he a basketball player? Whens the last time GAC won a football championship? (I honestly don't know – maybe they never have??? I have no idea) What I do know is that King had to leave Parkview because he wasn't going to be able to pass all of the GA high school graduation tests. GAC isn't required to give those. I don't know about his brother either but you don't have to be a teacher to be a coach. It's called being a community coach and you take classes and get certified to do that. But I still don't know what that has to do with anything now. And once again, nobody is complaining about the schools who lost. Just the winners, of course.
March 11th, 2013
2:52 pm
@ Walker, gotta love the snob factor you elite private school pricks have sometimes! Not every one in the rural parts of the state is unemployed and living off the government! Actually a good many of us don't believe in government wiping their tail! I agree with you about the city schools and they do recruit just like the privates but at least most of them play in 5A or 6A except for the wimps in Buford and a few others.
@ Dirk, I know what a community coach is and I know about Caleb and the grades but the original poster claimed GAC never gave schollys and recruited. I am pretty sure Caleb throws a wrench in that claim!!! I don't like any recruiting in high school sports and think it is very sad that people take pride in the win at all cost plan some private and public high schools use.to have the best team!!!
March 11th, 2013
3:16 pm
i dont mind anything GAC's basketball program does. I think that kids choose to go there instead of being recurited. we hear the same crap at athens christian all the time too. parents and kids will find winning programs. period. you want kids to transfer to your school year after year? then win more!! the only issue i have with GAC is the fact they are still in AA. Everytime i go by their school they are adding classrooms and buildings but yet they always seem to stay a few kids under the maximum enrollment for AA. I agree that private schools should play up a class. I hope Athens Christian goes up to AA.
March 11th, 2013
3:21 pm
And as far as recruiting goes in atlanta…AAU and AAU coaches are more responsible for that than anyone. high school coaches arent even half of the problem. these kids watch Lebron wus out and go team up with other players and they wanna be like them so maybe one day they will have big rims and a fancy car.
March 11th, 2013
9:15 pm
@public school you have my vote.. Take Gordon Lee Class A Girls Public Champs what a story. Do you think they would have had a chance against ST.Francis or SACA ? NOOOOO. I feel sorry for Thomasville girls a 49 points loss to Wesleyan.Wesleyan has a great coach but she couldn"t win like that at a public school in AA or A. EARLY CO. Girls the last public school to win a championship in AA in 2003. All i"m saying private school play up…AAA or higher

2012 Winter Issue 5 (February 10, 2012)
The leisure hive: rethinking the weekend
The cliché is that Carleton students "work hard and play hard," that we spend all our time during the week on our workload and so we need to move just as far in the other direction during the weekend – we need to play beer pong or go to a Sayles Dance after a week of reading Adorno and pipetting lizard blood, as if that will reset us.
On internet cooking
I'm bringing up my sole cookbook this week because I've only recently discovered another resource for recipes: the internet. Sad, right? I didn't even consider it last term. I'd heard about "Epicurious" and other similar websites in passing, but had never investigated.
What is design?
There are two other types of reasoning that are well taught in college: inductive and deductive. Inductive reasoning is the process of using logic to infer implications made by specific arguments. Deductive reasoning is posing specific statements and testing their validity. Abductive reasoning is making something and seeing what happens.
Politics and Money: The MN Connection
Hey Carleton. Happy Friday, I hope this article finds you in good spirits – winter can be a tough term so be good to yourself. So here is a litany of things that are very serious issues going on in the world: in Libya chaos ensues for a struggling new government; Northern Mali is under fire from hundreds of Tuareg rebels, South Sudan is succumbing to civil war and maybe even worse.
Lost and Found
Even before the buzzer ended the third losing game, Julia Bakker-Arkema '14 was sobbing on the court. While her parents assured her it was only a game, Julia insisted that no, it wasn't. At Volleyball practice on Monday, Julia's coach had asked her to remove the ring that she never removed. It was the ring that Julia's grandparents had given it to her on her sixteenth birthday.

I have the s3, have had it for a few weeks now. I've never had an iPhone, only androids. I really like it. It's fast, crisp clean screen. I did feel really over protective of out until I got the cover I wanted as it is light and very sleek and slippery. The screen is suppose to be made from gorilla glass but up thread someone mentioned a cracked screen and one of my friends has cracked hers as well. I tend to not have things like that happen to my phones though. (My friend always damages her phones almost as soon as she gets them)
The choice for me came down to always having had android phones, I like the ability to customize my screens, icons, etc. Also many of the tech guys where I work were giving up their IPhones for the s3. Based on what I've read and the conversations I had with the tech people I know, they are pretty comparable.
I did have some battery drain issues that resolved after I remembered to tweak some settings. And last night for some reason battery drained completely from 100% to turning itself off in a few hours while I was sleeping. I've had this happen before with other phones and think it had something to do with towers in my area, the issue has stabilized since this morning so unless it keeps happening, I'm not overly worried.
Lastly, s3 is probably cheaper if you shop around for it. I paid $50 for mine at letstalk.com

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- The jury has cleared Jeffrey Mundt of the most serious charges including murder; they did find him guilty of facilitation of robbery and tampering with evidence.
The jury recommends eight years in jail for Mundt. They recommended three years for robbery facilitation and five years for tampering with evidence, to run consecutively.
The judge ordered Mundt to be taken into custody immediately. Mundt had been out on house arrest for more than a year. He will be sentenced on June 26.
During closing arguments, Mundt's attorney Steve Romines said the Commonwealth failed to prove Jeffrey Mundt murdered James Carroll, whose body was found buried in the basement of Mundt's Old Louisville mansion in June 2010.
"Any single fact, document, any single witness, any single cross examination we have shown you is enough, in and of itself, to acquit Jeff Mundt; any one of them. Taken together, it's not even close," Romines said.
Romines said Mundt's former boyfriend Joey Banis, who has already been convicted of the crime, bore all of the responsibility for the murder and cover up.
Prosecutors admit Banis was guilty of murder, but said Mundt willingly participated.
"When Joey Banis showed up, it was a thrill. He liked it. He liked his blue Mohawk, tattooed up boyfriend. and he got into things he probably never would have done without Banis," Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Ryane Conroy said.
The jury began deliberating shortly before 1 p.m. on Wednesday.

Fill The Boot
Brendan Magee was one of the many Marysville firefighters who braved some hot afternoon sun, June 27, to pass the boot to passing motorists at the intersection of State Avenue and Grove Street. The firefighters were in the midst of their annual collection for the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, which continued June 28. Magee and others reported passers-by were being more than generous.

Isotrex, Spiro And Hormonal Acne
Posted 27 December 2013 - 01:34 AM
Posted 27 December 2013 - 08:58 AM
hey we seem to be in the same boat! I started spiro about 2 months ago and am still waiting to see amazing results. I did hear it takes a couple months so hang in there!! the dermatologist put me tretinoin topical in the meantime and now the only acne I have is on my chin as well! Its been only about 4 weeks on the topical and i did go through the purging stage for awhile..but i think it is calming down now!
ps. did your derma tell you that you would need to stay on the topicals..? Or can you come off once the spiro kicks in..?
Posted 27 December 2013 - 12:49 PM
Posted 28 December 2013 - 12:27 AM
my dermo seemed more pushy on the spiro so who knows! yes i love the sun so much and im going to florida for spring break so i just hope this clears soon! can you tell me how old you are out of curiosity? Im 18 and i really hope this is hormonal acne.....
Posted 28 December 2013 - 11:22 AM
Posted 28 December 2013 - 01:20 PM
I'm at the end of my 3rd month on 50 mg of Spiro and its finally kicking in !!! Last month at this time I had a horrible cystic break out and now I only have 1 pimple on my chin that's so small. My doctor told me I can stop with my retin-a and Aczone after 6 months of being on Spiro but so far I am seeing results already. My acne was all hormonal.
Posted 28 December 2013 - 08:06 PM
how do you know that your acne is hormonal? I broke out during my period yes..but there were always a few spots here and there throughout the entire month. My acne is about 99.9% located on my chin so does that mean it is hormonal? Does the spiro just need more time to kick in?
Posted 29 December 2013 - 11:50 AM
Also I breakout in whiteheads every few days I've always got something on my chin I don't have clear days ever the bigger under the skin ones Id say cystic but there not that big but I get them every other week or so that's why I tried changing make up diet cleansers everything because I thought its something else when no it's hormones that need to be controlled
Posted 29 December 2013 - 01:07 PM
yes that lifted my spirits too! and yes..i feel like mine probably is hormonal too because i have a very healthy diet, drink plenty of water and never forget to wash my face but it always came back! maybe i should take an oral antibiotic till the spiro kicks in? or should i just continue with the topicals.....
Posted 29 December 2013 - 02:31 PM
I was suffering with horrible cystic break outs mostly during my periods all around my chin and mouth, the rest of the month I would only get 1 or 2 pimples but nothing serious. My dermatologist said it was hormonal so he gave me the Spiro to add to my regimen of Retin-a and Aczone. I also take one pill of Minocycline 100 mgs a day to help with the initial break out of the Spiro. He also told me Spiro takes 6 months to start kicking in so don't give up!!!
Edited by PinkBunny43, 29 December 2013 - 02:34 PM.
Posted 29 December 2013 - 02:43 PM
okay!! do you apply both the aczone and retin-a morning and night?
Posted 29 December 2013 - 04:08 PM
Aczone in the morning and Retin-A at night
Posted 29 December 2013 - 05:12 PM
okay I was applying the retin-a in the morning as well...do you think i should only do so at night?

How to File
How Do I File?
The International Fuel Tax Agreement Reporting Form (DR 0122) is available on our IFTA Forms Web page. However, the IFTA form DR 0122 can easily be filed through Revenue Online.
Due Dates
These are filed quarterly and are due at the end of the month following the end of the quarter (for example, January - March return is due April 30). If the end of the month falls on a holiday or weekend, the report is due on the next business day. A tax return is required even if a truck is not operated during a quarter.
Penalty and interest will be due if the tax return or payment is not postmarked by the due date. The late penalty is $50 or 10% of the tax due, whichever is greater. Interest is calculated only on a jurisdiction where tax is due.
Starting July 1, 2013, the interest charged for IFTA late payments will be two (2) percentage points above the underpayment rate established under Section 6621(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. For the months of July 2013 through December 2014, the IFTA annual rate will be 5%. The monthly rate is 1/12 of this rate, or .4167%.
To calculate interest on a late filed or amended return, multiply the tax due in Column 10 using the following rules:
For example, if a return was due April 30, 2013 and was filed August 30, 2013, interest for the months of May and June would be calculated at 1% per month and the interest for July and August would be calculated at .4167% per month.

Individual Choice
|How Individual Choice Works
|A brief explanation of Ithaca College's Cafeteria Benefits Plan.
Individual Choice begins with a level of coverage necessary for the basic financial protection of each employee. This basic required coverage includes:
medical coverage (unless you are covered under another medical plan);
- $20,000 of life insurance; and
- long-term disability coverage once you become eligible.
You have the option to build upon these core benefits. With the Individual Choice program, you choose from an array of selections to meet your needs.
Each benefit-eligible employee receives a predetermined number of benefit credits from the College. Depending on the options you choose, your total credits will cover all or part of your flexible benefits package.
If you decline medical coverage under the Individual Choice program, you will receive fewer benefit credits, plus a separate number of cashable credits. You can have your separate cashable credits added to your taxable pay. Alternatively, you can use these credits to purchase other benefits or deposit them into a flexible spending account.

Good news: there's a new version of Top Gear: Stunt School available for iOS (Android coming soon.)
Remarkably, almost two and half million of you around the world have downloaded and played out Top Gear: Stunt School game on your portable iThingys.
So we imagine this is GOOD NEWS for a fair few of you. We've only gone and made a much better version.
Top Gear: Stunt School Revolution is out today, with more over-the-top tracks, more stunts, more cars to customise and wreck in exotic locations (now including Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Grand Canyon, Alcatraz and New York City).
Also: it's free. So watch the trailer above and go download through le Store de iTunes.
The inclusion in Forza Motorsport 4 of our Top Gear track, just off the A3 in a quiet corner of Surrey, means that the TG office are now regularly outclassed online on what should be home turf. Often by 12-year-olds.
This wouldn't do. So we've decided to put together our own downloadable pack of cars to give us an edge (for at least 30 minutes until you all get used to them).
The pack will cost you 560 Microsoft Points and will be available from May 1. See you online…
We just finished a go round of car
soccer football in Forza. We looked nowhere near this competent.
Jeremy "reviews" the UNSC Warthog from Halo which will be available (along with the Top Gear Dunsfold track) in Forza 4.

What is NCAAW?
In October of 2012, Nazareth College celebrated National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week and joined over 1,000 US colleges and universities in recognizing the importance of campus alcohol prevention efforts. Consistent with Nazareth College's strategic plan, this is one effort to educate and prevent our students from misusing alcohol while at college.
Research has shown that the first few months of the academic year are critical times for colleges and universities to convey information about alcohol use/abuse on campus to their students. We do so in an effort to avoid tragedy and create a campus culture that encourages healthy, safe lifestyles. NCAAW is the foundation to building a comprehensive program that keeps alcohol abuse prevention at the forefront and assists students in finding support for alcohol-related issues. Alcohol abuse prevention is not a one-week activity; promoting responsible alcohol consumption is a year round effort.
College Substance Abuse Prevention
During NCAAW, Nazareth's faculty, staff and students came together and led a myriad of events throughout the week. These events focused on sober fun and alcohol harm reduction education. Take a look at what happened on campus:
- Booze Ball tournament: gave students the experience of "seeing through beer goggles" while sober.
- Oktoberfest Jeopardy: tested students' knowledge about alcohol use.
- Drunken Heroes and Temperate Villains: a lecture by Dr. Tom Lappas educated students about the use and perception of alcohol in modern-day television.
- Design on a Dime: the average student spends $900/year on alcohol. This program gave students' ideas about how they could use that money to decorate and design their dorm rooms instead.
- Don't Fall Under the Influence: an educational event held for the O'Connor Residence Hall.
- Mock-tailgates at the inaugural Naz hockey game. Free mocktails, long sleeve Naz t-shirts, and foam fingers supporting Nazareth's One Choice Makes a Difference campaign were given away.
- Other fun, sober events: a performance by the internationally recognized A Capella group "The Exchange" and an on-campus hypnotist (Kevin Hurley) during Family weekend.
Ask your child if they participated in any of these events. And don't forget: alcohol and drug prevention is an ongoing effort from not only the campus community but from parents as well. Be sure to do your part- talk with your son or daughter about their experiences regarding alcohol and drugs at college, listen (don't lecture), find out about your child's concerns, and be sure to make your expectations clear. College is a huge investment of time and money. Let your child know that you want them to succeed academically, to develop personally, and to be healthy while at college.

Should school exams be abolished?
Recently I feel like many children have been feeling more and more stressed due to examinations. I also feel that examinations are encouraging children to be taught in a specific way, rather than to be taught to think about the method they use to solve an issue. Examinations focus on certain skills rather than the application of those skills, restricting creativity and lateral thinking. I believe that examinations are doing our society more harm than good.
However it also seems to me that exams also have their benefits, for example, to assess a child's skills and progress, and to prepare children for the pressure of universities, and future life.
Yet it appears to me that there must be some other way to do this, rather than causing a child such trauma about examinations, on top of the hormones, social problems and worries about the future.

Nov 30 2012: "Should school exams be abolished?"
No, they are essential for maintaining a meritocracy, other forms of assessment are too advantageous for pretty faces and smooth talkers. Exams should, in general focus less on memorizing (though in some fields memorizing is the most important) and more on showing you've understood the material and can apply it.
Nov 30 2012: Pure meritocracy is not existent in any civilizations. We have aspects of meritocracy in some countries, but we still suffer from a strong caste and class system in every country. I agree that exams are necessary, but I think the matter in which we test our students is flawed. I do not think exams should abolished but rather transformed to better fit the students and teachers.

I mostly tumbl songs I like on a particular day, but some days I don't find a song, or I am caught up with work, or I am off somewhere doing something. I also like to share images (both static and moving), literature, and recipes.
I am linking to songs on external sites so that you can download them (right click on download and save the file) and make a mix of your own, and listen to it while you run or make breakfast or ride your bike or the subway or anything you do while listening to music. I will try to check the links from the past month from time to time to make sure they still work, but please do let me know if a song has been removed from its original source and isn't working.

Don't Forget to Fall Back This Weekend
Millions of Americans will roll their clocks back one hour this weekend for the return to Standard Time. But as clocks move back and we wake on Sunday morning, after "gaining" an extra hour of the day, will Americans use that extra hour to catch up on their sleep? Probably not. According to the National Sleep Foundation's 2009 Sleep in America ™ poll, two out of every ten Americans sleep less than six hours a night. Even with an extra hour, that's less than necessary for a full night's rest. The National Sleep Foundation recommends the following tips to help ease the adjustment to standard time:

MUSCLE SHOALS — Silver Airways, the Shoals' new regional airline, has been named the 2013 Regional Airline of the Year by Air Transport World, a global airline industry magazine.
Silver Airways began providing daily flights to Atlanta from Northwest Alabama Regional Airport on Oct. 1 after being awarded a $16 million Essential Air Service contract to provide air service to the Shoals, the Mississippi communities of Tupelo, Hattiesburg-Laurel and Greenville, and to Lewisburg, W.Va.
The airline is being honored by the magazine in recognition of its outstanding growth and achievements, as well as its contributions toward elevating the overall regional aviation industry.
"(Air Transport World) awards represent the pinnacle of achievement in aviation," Matthew Ray, the airline's chairman of the board, said in a Silver news release. "Aside from the continued support and appreciation of our passengers, there is no higher honor. On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the nearly 800 Silver Airways team members across the United States and the Bahamas for their hard work and dedication that made this award possible. We started this airline with the goal to build the number-one regional airline in the world."
In addition to the Shoals and Mississippi, Silver also provides subsidized air service to communities in Florida and the mid-Atlantic.
"Underpinning the airline's success has been our unwavering commitment to foster a winning corporate culture, execute an innovative business strategy and establish an independent brand with the strength and flexibility to drive customer loyalty and foster partnerships with multiple carriers," Ray said in the release.
The service got off to a rocky start in the Shoals when the inaugural flight was delayed because of inclement weather.
Since then, the airline has dealt with delayed flights, canceled flights, and boardings that were much less than flights to Atlanta under Delta Connection, which Silver Airways replaced.
Barry Auchly, a member of the airport's board of directors and chairman of the Shoals Air Services Committee, said the airport has seen better performance in all aspects of the operation including on-time schedule.
"We are quite pleased and proud of our carrier being named Regional Carrier of the Year by Air Transport World," Auchly said "To receive this award requires an excellent safety record, innovation and strong leadership by executive management, excellent customer service and (ecological) and technology endeavors. This is a remarkable achievement for a relatively new carrier in a very competitive field."
Airport Director Barry Griffith said the airline's on-time performance has improved.
"We continue to work with them on insuring that passengers are getting the best fair options and better service from Muscle Shoals to Atlanta," Griffith said. "The on-time performance has improved and continues to improve daily."
The awards are determined solely by the editors of Air Transport World based on submissions made by airlines throughout the world. The 2013 awards will be presented March 26 in Washington, D.C.

Not a fave Wanted to love, as I love most of the limiteds clothes! Poor fit overall. September 22, 2014
Simple but CUTE on Simple but chic shirt dress. You can add or take away accessories and still look nice. I purchase the navy blue. Can be worn year round. September 18, 2014
Dislike the Fabric I purchased this dress because I loved the style & versatility of it. Fabric is awful, can't get the wrinkles out of it! I'm very disappointed. September 18, 2014
Nice dress! Love the dress but just not as expected. I ordered the green dress and from pictures it looks as though the buttons and buckle on the belt are gold and they are silver. I would prefer gold with the green dress! But I still love the dress and will not be returning it. Just know they are silver and NOT gold. September 5, 2014
Great Quality I got this dress in green and I really love it. It's comfortable, the color is great and the quality is awesome. Two things I did not expect to beware of: the dress does hike up quite a bit when sitting as the fabric is not stretchy at all; and second, the fabric is heavier than expected - great quality, but on a hot summer day, this did not breath at all and made me sweat! Maybe better suited for spring/fall or in winter with tights. September 3, 2014

Dairy News
September 17, 2014The precision of what cows consume can be questionable. However, component fed herds can still apply precision feeding as successfully as herds feeding a total mixed ration. Dry matter intake can be monitored for cows and the weight of a grain scoop can be calibrated with each new delivery.
September 11, 2014A timely reminder of simple practices that can help keep cows milking during the transition to new silage.
August 26, 2014As tie stall dairy producers think about herd expansion they often consider converting their existing building into a milking center. In many cases this is a reasonable idea. However, 'low-cost' should not be interpreted as 'cheap.'
Managing Silage Effluent
August 26, 2014Fall is almost here and with that will come corn silage harvest. One common side effect of silage making is silage effluent. No matter our best efforts to harvest at the correct moisture and in a timely fashion, it happens. If you have a silo, upright or horizontal, you have some amount of silage effluent.
August 26, 2014Synchronization protocols have become a great tool for many breeding programs, but most would probably abandon them in a heartbeat if there was another effective way to consistently predict ovulation and pinpoint the perfect time to breed cows. Activity monitors may provide a solution.
August 26, 2014Scientists from around the globe presented the results of their most recent research at the joint annual meeting of the American Dairy Science Association and the American Society of Animal Science last month in Kansas City, Missouri. This article highlights some of the latest findings related to feeding and managing dairy calves.
What's Old is New Again: Records Never Go Out of Style

Evening Primrose Oil Pregnancy Benefits on Labor
If you've been consistently trying to conceive with your partner, then it is inevitable that you have heard about evening primrose oil pregnancy supplements.
For its popularity, lots of people are inquisitive about evening primrose oil pregnancy supplements. Fertility experts have been recommending evening primrose as a supplement to boost the chances to fertility as well as easier child birth. It has been used over hundreds of years by Native Americans and Europeans. However, it has yet to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration, which result in many critics questioning this natural supplement's actual efficiency.
Evening Primrose Oil Pregnancy Supplements History
Evening primrose pregnancy supplements originated in North America. It is extracted from a wildflower named evening primrose. Technically, this flower is not a primrose. It was first used by the Native Americans as an anti-inflammatory cure to medical problems involving women's health such as pre-menstrual syndromes, menstrual cramps, and fertility. Evening primrose oil was also used as remedy to skin concerns such as allergies, eczema, and dermatitis.
When European settlers arrived in North America, they were impressed by how effective this plant is as a medicine. They brought back seeds and roots to Europe and presented evening primrose to the king. After that, the evening primrose oil pregnancy as treatment became a sensation in Europe and all over the world.
Evening Primrose Oil Pregnancy and Fertility
Lately, fertility experts have been featuring evening primrose oil pregnancy supplements effectiveness as a fertility treatment. According to these fertility experts, the high levels of Vitamin E and gamma-linolelic acid of evening primrose oil can significantly help strengthen a woman's cervix. GLA or gamma-linolelic acid triggers the production of a hormone named prostaglandin, which triggers the manufacture of mucus membrane in the cervix. This mucus membrane thickens the wall of the cervix, which is said to lengthen the life span of a sperm cell. Therefore, it increases your chance to conceive.
Evening primrose oil pregnancy ought to be taken after menstrual period. You'll only stop taking this supplement once pregnancy is confirmed. Once pregnancy is verified, your fertility advisor will advise consumption of another vitamin such as folic acid and others. You cannot take evening primrose oil pregnancy supplement since this supplement would bring about minor contractions, which can lead to miscarriage.
You can retake this supplement on the 34th week of your pregnancy. The evening primrose oil pregnancy supplements will let you get prepared for your labor. It opens up your cervix and allows easier labor.
On the other hand, it is yet to be approved by the FDA. It is recommended that you visit a OB-Gyne first before ingesting any vitamin or supplements. In the event you experience any negative effects or negative complications from using evening primrose oil pregnancy supplements, I suggest you consult a health expert right away.

The Florence city school district is beefing
up security in a proactive approach to campus safety. The measures come after a
father brought a gun to school while eating lunch with his child last month.
In addition to having a school resource officer
at every school, district leaders are implementing a card swipe entry system.
It's just another way they can ensure safety at school.
Superintendent Dr. Janet Womack said the new
entry system gives parents and visitors a single access point. "This will allow
a constant monitoring of that door through a voice system, and ensure that
individuals are buzzed in, then the doors will immediately lock behind them,"
she said.
Womack said the new entry system has been
discussed for several months, and that the school board recently approved their
installation. School officials hope their proactive approach will help ensure
safety for everyone.
"We welcome our parents and our community to
be engaged in our instruction. This is not an effort to keep them out, this is
just an effort to continue to make sure our campuses are safe," said Womack.

Scribblenauts Unlimited continues the franchise's penchant for ridiculousness, though lackluster puzzles temper the excitement.
The 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon was designed to be a great off-roader, with little compromise to make it practical for paved roads. Its navigation system should help out in the wilderness, but Bluetooth seems less useful in a car that you'll want to take beyond the range of cell towers.
