Thoughts From Guys On Our IM: How Do You Feel About Waxing Your Crotch?
I'm sure, by now, many of you have either read or heard about The New York Times Style section article on the male crotch-waxing trend. "The below-the-belt treatment — which, just like the women's version, removes either some or all pubic hair — is becoming increasingly popular, and not just among competitive swimmer…

How Much Is Too Much To Pay For Eyebrow Waxing?
Ever since I started rockin' bangs a few months ago, an eyebrow emergency has been steadily escalating on my forehead. If no one can see what my brows look like, what's the point of waxing them? I can save money and time and stop humiliating myself by being such a sissy about the pain! But…

Girl Talk: Why I've Never Been Waxed
I am the only woman in NYC who has never gotten waxed. This is a fact. If someone collected statistics, the numbers would definitely confirm it. You could say I'm a bit of a wild woman. My hair is unpredictable, my nail polish is usually mostly chipped off, I can't do a pantsuit to save…

The Soapbox: Why I'm Keeping My Pubic Hair
When pubic hair first appeared on my adolescent body, I was mortified. I wanted it gone as quickly as it sprouted. It just felt, for lack of a better word, bizarre to have it there. But at the age of 11, waxing was not option. Well, maybe it is nowadays, but in the late '80s,…

Was My Bikini Waxer Trying To Be Insulting Or Helpful?
This has been the summer of strange bikini waxing experiences. First, a waxer I found through a Living Social deal was a double-dipper. Then last week, I tried another waxer, who I found through Groupon. I had a rather pleasant experience, but something the esthetician said has confused me, and I'm not sure if…

It's no secret that I'm not a fan of body hair. It's also no secret that times are hard. So lately, I've been on quest to find a more affordable bikini waxer because it costs about $72 for a Brazilian wax and 20 percent tip at the spa I've been patronizing for the last three…

To Wax Or Not to Wax: Study Examines Hairy Trends

ASARCO sues Cemex for pollution
POSTED: Thursday, April 25, 2013 - 10:47pm
UPDATED: Friday, April 26, 2013 - 6:09pm
El Paso, TX (KTSM) — Lead and arsenic may have seeped into the Rio Grande in West El Paso, but it didn't come from the ASARCO site. That's what lawyers for Asarco are alleging, and they're blaming their neighbors, Cemex.
ASARCO has filed a lawsuit against the company asking the court to order Cemex to help share $19 million in clean-up costs. In 2009 ASARCO agreed to remediate the International Boundary and Water Commission site off of West Paisano, right near the old ASARCO smelter and Cemex. That's where the pollution was found.
ASARCO alleges two Cemex units are to blame. The suit is scheduled to go to trial June 7th.
Comments News Comments
Boy, talk about the pot calling the kettle black. If Asarco wins will they donate the money to the people of El Paso, Juarez and UTEP students who were poisoned by their pollutants. The arrogance of Asarco keeps on going. No tienen verguenza.

This is my current favorite mascara! It's not in the least bit clumpy and it actually separates just about EVERY lash, which is rare for me to find. I love that this gives me length AND volume, but also looks very natural. When I have this on, my lashes are also soft to the touch, which is wonderful. This lasts all day and doesn't flake off or smudge. It also dries quickly -- a SUPER plus. This and Rocket Volum' are my favorite mascaras!

The waterproof version of this is my all time, go to, never fail HG mascara. I have straight Asian lashes, they're long, but straight as an arrow. I curl my lashes first, apply a first coat to hold the curl and then put two more coats (or depending on the occasion). My curl holds beautifully all day with no smudging or flaking! I use an eyelid primer because I have oily lids and don't want my mascara all over my lids, but I have used this before when I'm in a hurry with no kid primer and it still does not smudge! It comes off easily with eye makeup remover with minimal effort and rubbing. I recommend this mascara to anyone who wants fast, clump free, and all day curl hold! This will forever be my favorite, never stop making it Maybelline!

(In case there's a non waterproof one, I use the waterproof formula.) I'm currently on my second tube of this mascara, and I still love it! I've tied tons of mascaras, including internet favourites, but I keep returning to this one. I find it isn't too wet or dry, and gives me a good amount of volume and length without being prone to clumping up. also, unlike Cover Girl mascaras, this one doesn't flake or smear on me. So far, this is my HG mascara (especially now that my waterproof Big Fatty from Urban Decay was discontinued)!

I bought this cause I liked how the packaging was like, but as for the quality of the mascara, I wouldn't say that it is my favourite maybelline mascara, I find that it smudges after a couple of hours, I find that it seperates and lengthens but it doesn't add volume. It's gives a less dramatic look than say, the falsies. It is able to hold a curl though.

Absolutely buying this again. I love, love, love to do 2 swipes of this followed by Buxom Buxom lash mascara by Bare Essentials (because alone the latter doesn't do quite the trick). The two together work wonderfully at expanding the lash, making my short lashes longer, and do not clump! I would for sure wear this without the buxom too, especially during the day :)

this used to be my go to mascara but i think they have reformulated it. it still gives beautiful results BUT it flakes into the eye the worst of any mascara i have ever had. if you wear contacts stay away from this one as i have ruined a few contacts. the flakes in this are sharpe and hurt. i consider this the flakiest of flakey.

While your version does save copying the old integer value to a temporary (you realize the temporary sv is allocated at compile-time, right?), it takes two extra ops, which I'm pretty sure costs more cpu time.
And in any case the difference is too minimal (especially compared to lowercasing the string and doing a hash lookup) to justify adding to the code complexity
Makeshifts last the longest.
(it yields the same op-tree btw)
Why the lc? uniq as I know it is not case insensitive. You might want to note that behavior to any potential users.

I got them and they didn't work. I had to drill out the back and tap to change out the lasp on the back with the old ones so they would work.

The Carl Albert State College Vikings baseball team ran its record to 4-0 with a doubleheader sweep of the Bacone College junior varsity Friday afternoon at Ival Goodman Field by scores of 15-0 in five innings and 4-1.
The Vikings will have back-to-back days of doubleheaders with Coffeyville, Kan. The two teams will play a twinbill at 1 p.m. Tuesday in Coffeyville, while the two teams will make-up Tuesday's postponed doubleheader at Ival Goodman Field at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Due to today's 70-percent chance of rain, Carl Albert State College Softball Coach David Holt announced that the two-day Carl Albert Softball Festival, slated for today and Sunday at the Poteau Area Recreational Complex, has been canceled.
This two-day event was to feature not only the host Lady Vikings, but five Kansas schools, two other Oklahoma schools and a Texas school.
The City of Poteau and Mayor Jeff Shockley had become big backers of the event as it was going to be a great way to not only promote the CASC campus and softball program, but the city and its businesses.
The Whitesboro Lady Bulldogs will need one more win to make it to next week's Class B Area Tournament at Kingston.
The Lady Bulldogs defeated the Moss Lady Pirates 45-38 Friday afternoon in the Class B Regional Tournament consolation semifinals at Moss High School.
Whitesboro (15-11) will play Varnum game at 1:30 p.m. this afternoon at Moss High School for the consolation championship, and a trip to next weekend's Class B Area Tournament in Kingston.
WILBURTON — The Arkoma Lady Mustangs and the Cameron Yellowjackets suffered their first postseason losses Thursday night at the Class A Regional Tournament at the new Wilburton Gym.
The Wright City teams both proved too much as the Lady Lumberjax downed the Lady Mustangs 55-50, while the 'Jax stung the 'Jackets 57-36.
BOYNTON — The Bokoshe Lady Tigers accomplished two goals Thursday night at the Class B Regional Tournament.
First, they defeated the Braggs Lady Wildcats 46-34 to advance to tonight's regional title game in Stroud against the Deer Creek-Lamont Lady Eagles at 6:30 p.m. tonight.
Secondly, by reaching tonight's regional championship contest, the Lady Tigers (18-7) has automatically qualified for an appearance in next week's Class B Area Tournament at Cleveland, Okla., since both the regional champion and runner-up advance from the regional tournament.
Hannah Ware's career-high 23 points and six blocked shots proved to be the difference for the Carl Albert State College Lady Vikings as they came away with the season sweep of the Redlands Community College Lady Cougars in a 61-56 win Thursday night at Mick Thompson Fieldhouse in Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference action.
Behind 15 points from Joy Williamson and 50-percent shooting from the field, the Redlands Cougars claimed the 68-50 win over the Carl Albert State Vikings in the second game.
Two years ago, it was Katie Odom. Last year, it was Katie Pierce. Thursday morning at Poteau High School, that number increased to four — the number of softball players who have signed with Carl Albert State College in the last three years.
Poteau Lady Pirates Natalee King and Briley Benson signed letters of intent with CASC.
And it doesn't stop there. Both signees' sisters, Emily King and Breanna Benson, also played with the Lady Vikings.
When the 2012 Carl Albert State College softball season was made, a special event became part of it — its own two-day softball festival.
The Carl Albert Softball Festival will be Saturday and Sunday at the Poteau Area Recreational Complex (PARC).
STROUD — There will be at least one more day of basketball for both Leflore High School basketball teams.
Thursday afternoon at the Class B Regional Tournament, the Lady Savages and Savages each won their elimination games over Carney. The Lady Savages rolled past the Lady Bulldogs 58-35, then the Savages chewed up the 'Dogs 76-56.
STRINGTOWN — The Whitesboro Bulldogs took the first step of a three-step process to get to next week's Class B Area Tournament in Kingston.
The 'Dogs defeated the Battiest Panthers 42-32 Thursday afternoon at the Class B Regional Tournament.
The Bulldogs will play at 8 p.m. tonight at Moss High School near Holdenville in the consolation semifinals against Moss. That winner will then play for the consolation championship — and a trip to next weekend's area tournament — at 3 p.m. Saturday, also at Moss High School. Tonight's loser will be eliminated from the playoffs.

1994 Dodge Stealth Coupe R/T 2dr Coupe
I've had my Stealth for 16 years and I still love it!
The style is a classic sporty style that will never go out of style. This has been the most dependable vehicle I've ever owned!
The only negative I could come up with is that the turning radius is huge and it isn't very comfortable for traveling much more than 1 1/2 hrs.
If you take a road trip in a Stealth, you do need frequent breaks to get out and stretch your legs!
Don't count on taking anyone in the "backseat" because there is absolutely no room!
But then again, it's a sports car so what do you expect!
I can't say enough positives about the 1994 Dodge Stealth, it's paid for itself many times over!

1994 Dodge Stealth Coupe R/T Luxury 2dr Coupe
Have had no problems with this car since I have bought it. I've owned it for about 6 months and it has been very dependable. Handling and power is impressive. Turns heads at every corner. Very pleased with performance. Needs few repairs done only because of its age and mileage. Really is a great buy for the money and performance. This style is very rare to see and I am a proud owner. I plan on keeping this car for a long time.

1994 Dodge Stealth Coupe 2dr Coupe
Bought the car after highschool, owned
it for about a year and a half and had
virtually no problems. Only ones were
fuel filter, and carbon build up in the
intake caused stalling. Car was great
fun to drive, superb ride although soft
handling due to non-turbo suspension.
Car was very reliable, heater and A/C
took a while to come on but both worked
flawlessly. The V6 had great power, and
torque whenever you needed it in any
gear. All nessesary features were easily
accessable to the driver. Front seats
held two adults comfortably, however
rear seats seemed they were added merely
to lower insurance costs. Even without
ABS option the brakes performed

This car has been a reliable, solid
performer. People always think its
newer than it is, thanks to its
sensational styling. If they ask, I
tell them about its outstanding comfort,
excellent build quality, mechanical
toughness and relatively good fuel
efficiency. Bought new, at over 100,000
miles it has proven to be a great ride
and a great buy too.

This has been a solid car since it was
new. It's fun to drive, looks good,
and built well. It's got 84,000. Yes,
I paid dearly for the timing belt and
new tires...but it's better than a new
car payment. The driver's leather seat
needs repaired; the leather has torn
and cracked.

I got it to work in Rise of the shadows, here is how Im pretty sure I did it.
1) Get map preview extractor from petro's site.
2) BEFORE you place any structures (such as base sites, flags, reinforcement points ETC) SAVE YOUR MAP.
3) use Map preview extractor on the map and then resize it to 512x512.
4) Put that map in the textures folder and name it the same as the map name.
5) in the XML code for that planet there should be a line that asks for map preview or something along those lines, change the line to the map/images name.
Thats how im pretty sure I did it!

Manufacturer's Description
When your gear feels right, your work more smoothly. This idea inspired the design of our Pro Messenger AW. Its durable, yet soft exterior is reminiscent of classic canvas, but it's actually a modern performance fabric. It's built to fit pro-sized camera gear in configurations you've told us work best. And it has an innovative flap that effortlessly folds in half to quiet your moves and quicken your pace. The innovative FlexFlap Design⢠allows you to shorten halfway, attach four silencing fasteners, and grab camera gear without calling attention to your work. When you move from one location to the next, attach as a full flap for extra security. And if you need complete access to your gear, fold the flap behind the grab handle to easily work out of the bag. Discreet and flexible details begin with the unobtrusive profile and custom performance fabric, a specially milled material that's lighter in weight than canvas and resistant to abrasion and moisture. Interior dividers are padded and adjustable to fit a variety of pro-sized gear in a number of configurations. A Dual-Purpose Pocket transforms from handy storage space to travel-friendly trolley sleeve with a fast unzipping.

Missile Defense:
DOD's Report Provides Limited Insight on Testing Options for the Ground-based Midcourse Defense System
GAO-14-350R: Published: Apr 30, 2014. Publicly Released: Apr 30, 2014.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
DOD was directed to report to the congressional defense committees on the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system's test program, including: an explanation of testing options if planned tests do not demonstrate the successful correction to a problem that caused a flight test failure in December 2010; and an assessment of the feasibility, advisability, and cost effectiveness of accelerating GMD's flight testing pace. The GMD is a missile defense system designed to defend the United States against a limited intermediate and intercontinental ballistic missile attack from nations such as North Korea and Iran.
DOD's report included the development of one option to mitigate the vibration problem that was determined to be the root cause of the December 2010 GMD flight test failure. However, the report included few details on how or when this option would be developed and tested. For example, it included few details about its (1) development and testing strategy, (2) cost, schedule, benefits, and risks, and (3) impact on new production and fielded ground-based interceptors. GAO requested additional information from DOD but DOD did not provide the requested information in time to assess the development and testing plans for this option. In addition, DOD experienced a setback in July 2013 when an already fielded version of the GMD interceptor failed a flight test. As a result, DOD's testing options using that GMD fielded interceptor were limited. GAO believes that until DOD completes its ongoing failure review and determines the root cause, developing additional testing options using the GMD fielded interceptor would be premature.
DOD's report also provided decision makers with limited insight into the feasibility and no insight into the cost effectiveness of accelerating GMD's testing pace. DOD's report did not provide a complete assessment as to whether it is feasible to increase GMD's testing pace--limiting the report's usefulness for decision makers. In addition, although DOD's report included some basic cost information, it did not provide decision makers with an assessment of whether increasing GMD's testing pace could be cost effective. The report provided insufficient information to assess whether accelerating GMD's testing pace is prudent because it did not address the potential full cost, benefits, and risks of testing acceleration.
Why GAO Did This Study
Section 231 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 required the Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense committees a report on GMD's test program that included information, such as test options and an assessment of the feasibility, advisability, and cost effectiveness of accelerating GMD's testing pace. In addition, GAO was required to brief the congressional defense committees on its views of DOD's report and submit a written report as soon as practicable after the briefing. GAO assessed: (1) the extent to which DOD's report identified testing options and known risks of the GMD system, and (2) the extent to which DOD's report assessed the feasibility and cost effectiveness of accelerating GMD flight testing.
To conduct this work, GAO reviewed DOD's report for testing options if flight testing does not demonstrate the successful correction to the problem that caused a GMD flight test failure in December 2010. GAO compared information in DOD's report to a generally accepted definition of the term feasible and guidance on the elements of a cost effectiveness assessment to determine whether DOD's report contained an assessment on the feasibility and cost effectiveness to accelerate GMD's testing pace. GAO also interviewed DOD officials from Missile Defense Agency and the Office of the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation.

That's what advocates for the abortion industry, like former NARAL Pro-Choice America head Kate Michelman are tripping over one another to be among the first to assure us. This comes from an e-mail in my inbox from the Women's Law Project:
Kate Michelman, renowned feminist and co-chair of the Women's Law Project's program, WomenVote PA, expressed her thoughts regarding how Gosnell's trial served to emphasize the structural flaws and weaknesses regarding access to reproductive health care and the pitfalls of increased restrictions. "The tragic circumstances that led to women choosing to go to Gosnell's clinic over reputable health service providers are a foreshadowing of the future if opponents of women's reproductive rights succeed in legislating reproductive care clinics out of business," said Michelman. "There will be many 'Dr. Gosnell's' who will step into the void created by anti-abortion policies and take advantage of desperate women risking their lives," she added.

Vitamin D explained: Why it's so important
Apr 30, 2012, 8:32 a.m.
There's a veritable alphabet soup of vitamins in the market, and it's likely very few of us know precisely what they do -- with the exception of vitamin C, which most of us rush to take whenever we feel a cold coming on. But even then, its effectiveness as a cold-stopping agent is a matter of dispute among medical professionals and those we rely on to tell us what's best for our bodies. Lately, those same folks have been proclaiming the virtues of vitamin D. The obvious question now is: What does vitamin D do and what are the various vitamin D benefits as we get older?
One of the biggest vitamin D benefits to those of us who'd like to stick around for a long time and still stay strong and healthy in the process is its beneficial impact on bone health. Vitamin D accomplishes this task by helping our bodies absorb calcium and phosphate, which in turn keeps the body's bones strong and makes them far less susceptible to breakage.
Additional vitamin D benefits
As if that weren't enough to sell you on its benefits, recent studies say vitamin D may also be beneficial for a number of other important health functions, including:
- Immune functions
- Brain functions
- Nerve center functions
- Muscular functions
Vitamin D consumption methods
So how do you get vitamin D into your system? There are actually three uniquely different methods of accomplishing that end.
Eating certain foods, like fatty fish, meat, eggs and mushrooms. Wouldn't you know it? Some of the foods that we're told to stay away from actually contain something our bodies need. This is probably the best evidence that proves that moderation is the best method of achieving longevity.
Exposure to sunshine. This is one area you'll have to tread lightly on. The older we get, the more susceptible we become to the effects of the sun. If you don't want to have a knock-down, drag-out brawl with your dermatologist, it's best to discuss this with them at length before stripping to your skivvies and taking an hour-long sunbath -- even though that length of time may not necessary to get your vitamin D fill. Doctors say that 15 to 20 minutes of exposure to sunlight per day should do the trick.
Taking vitamin D supplements. The trouble with opting for this approach is that it's possible to overdose on vitamin D. Therefore, before taking any supplements, consult your doctor to the right dosage for you.
Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency
Even if you do get enough sunshine and eat all the right things, it may be entirely possible that you can a vitamin D deficiency. If you're suffering from any of the following symptoms, you might be experiencing a deficiency:
- Bodily aches and pains that range from mild to severe
- Pain that's felt in your hips, ribs, feet and thighs
- Weakness and lethargy
- Osteomalacia, which is a softening of the bones
Who's at risk?
Some people bring about vitamin D deficiencies simply by their actions or habits. Ultimately, you may not need to take vitamin D supplements if you make some changes in your life. The three factors that can lead to lack of vitamin D in your body are: staying out of the sun too often, not eating any dairy products, or eating a strict vegetarian diet. Whether or not this sounds like you, it's important to see your doctor before treating yourself to determine the best course of action.

There are far more factors to consider in this sale. First is that he has wanted to go for some time. Second, his value had risen as high as it might ever be. Third, he is suspended for four months. Those four months are extremely important to Liverpool, who is no in the Champions League and (hopefully) challenging for the title. It would have essentially have been like they sold him this season without the benefit of having the 75M. Barca can afford to take that risk and need to get players in this Summer before their transfer ban goes into effect. No Liverpool fan would say we are better off without the talents of Luis Suarez, but we would have been without the talents of Luis Suarez for four crucial months without the same ability to strengthen. The system that is in place allows players to succeed if they buy in, so the players brought in should allow the goals to be spread around instead of coming from two players. The team is now stronger in many positions heading into this season.
BEFORE this season's Premier League kicked off on 16th August, bookies rated Liverpool as mere fifth favourites to win the title. This was despite it being the second-best side in country last year. The main reason for the pessimism was that over the summer the club sold Luis Suarez (pictured), its star player, to Barcelona for £75m ($124m). This made him the third most expensive signing in football history.
Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool's manager, probably had little choice in the matter: Mr Suarez had been eager to move for some time. But history suggests even when clubs re-invest such riches in their squads, the very best players are difficult to replace. Game Theory has looked at big-money transfers between English clubs to examine what effect selling a prized asset has on a club's fortunes. We have also assessed the ways the selling clubs reinvested their transfer income. The table below compares the change in average league points for the selling club in the two seasons before and after the biggest transfers by Premier League clubs. (Several expensive deals, such as Juan Mata from Chelsea to Manchester United, are too recent to be included.) We also looked at the change in the total wage bill, because the correlation between wages and league position has been shown to be strongly positive in the long term—at around 90%.
Liverpool has been here before. In 2011 it sold another star striker, Fernando Torres, to Chelsea for £50m. The club subsequently earned around 20 points a season fewer. This was despite it reinvesting the money and, in theory, making its squad stronger—evidenced by the wage bill rising by £30m. With Mr Torres acting as a talisman the side finished second. Without him it finished sixth and then eighth.
The club spent £35m of the Torres fee immediately, on a replacement striker, Andy Carroll of Newcastle. Herein lies one problem when replacing stars. The fee was no doubt inflated because Newcastle knew that Liverpool was suddenly flush with cash. Mr Carroll was wholehearted and popular with the fans, but his muscular style of play did not suit the team's system. He scored just six league goals for the club before being moved on.
Aston Villa also fared badly following the sale of James Milner to Manchester City in 2010. Mr Milner had directed the team's play from the centre of midfield in the year before he was sold, for £26m. Aston Villa received another midfielder, Stephen Ireland, in part-exchange. It then spent most of the fee on a striker, Darren Bent, six months later. Yet, as with Liverpool, the mistake was not replacing like with like. Mr Ireland proved defensively less capable, and the team started to ship goals. Mr Bent, meanwhile, couldn't live up to his price tag and fell out of favour. Although the club's wage bill was static, it averaged 20 points fewer for the next two seasons.
More successful was Tottenham Hotspur's sale of striker Dimitar Berbatov to Manchester United in 2008. Spurs spent the £31m it received on three new forwards: Roman Pavlyuchenko, Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane. The latter two had played for the club previously, but Mr Pavlyuchenko was new to the league and therefore a higher risk. Of the trio, only Mr Defoe was an unqualified success, but the club improved their chances of replacing Mr Berbatov's goals by signing a group of strikers. The increase in the wage bill (32%) was higher than the increase in points (14%), but it still represented a decent return. Still, it is not a foolproof strategy. The club tried to repeat the trick in 2013, after it sold Gareth Bale to Real Madrid for a world-record fee. The £90m it received helped it buy half a side's worth of new players. Integrating so many new footballers proved tough, however, and last year, without Mr Bale's match-winning performances, it fell down the league.
The effect of selling a star player isn't isolated to the selling club. There is also the danger of strengthening a rival. Arsenal sold Robin van Persie, a Dutch forward, for £24m in 2012. On paper, it looked a good deal for the Gunners. The fee was high for an injury-prone player, albeit a very fine one, who was nearing the end of his contract. Indeed, the team won more points without him and maintained their fourth position in the league. However, he was sold to arch-rivals Manchester United, where he promptly helped them win the league. Few Arsenal fans saw the transfer as a positive step.
The data presented here are far from perfect. The sample is small and there is plenty of noise surrounding the figures. The cost of a player is more than a reflection of his ability; it also takes into consideration things such as his age, the length of his contract and the desperation of the buying club. What is more, a club's performance can be affected by many other things, such as a change of manager. Nonetheless, it seems fair to say that clubs are better off hanging on to star players when they can, rather than cashing them in and improving the overall squad. Footballers with the ability to change the course of games singlehandedly tend to be irreplaceable. Liverpool may discover that for a second time this season.
