Stylish Sports Bras The New Movement in Sports Bras by Jaime Young 2/04/13 63 Reactions 3.3K Shares Print 3.1K 110 44 0 0 There's a new wave of sports bras out there, and they aren't designed to be covered up. In fact, they're so good-looking, they might inspire you to get in shape and start wearing them solo. You'll find a supportive sports bra here regardless of the activity, whether it's running or yoga. A few are so versatile they can support you through a triathlon. Lululemon Flip Your Dog Bra What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The design of lululemon's Flip Your Dog Bra ($52) is meant to keep everything in place. Feel comfortable knowing that whatever you do, this bra won't be moving. 1 / 7 Athleta Seamless Glow Bra What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Say goodbye to bra lines with this Seamless Glow Bra ($44). The straps pair perfectly with a racerback tank, and the keyhole opening helps with ventilation. 2 / 7 Champion High Impact Bra What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The mesh detailing on this High Impact Bra by Champion ($22) brings in air right where you need it most. Forget adjusting yourself in this number — the ladies will stay right where you want them to. 3 / 7 Adidas Supernova Racer Bra What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 With enough coverage to keep you comfortable, the Supernova Racer Bra ($40) is perfect for any activity. Wear it on your run and then jump into Warrior I pose — versatility at its finest. 4 / 7 Lululemon Ta Ta Tamer II What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Finally, a supportive sports bra that's just as cute as your bedroom collection. The Ta Ta Tamer II ($58) from lululemon promises to keep the bounce off your bust while you focus on the rest of your body. Adjustable straps also make this bra an option for days when a racerback tank are in order. 6 / 7 Zobha Anya Bra What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 With a back like this, you may not want to cover up the Anya Bra ($58). A traditional front helps with support, while the back says everything: strong, classy, and a little bit daring. 6 / 7 Prana Sophia Bra Top What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The simple Sophia Bra Top ($45) is as relaxed as your practice.

B-D cups), I noticed that only 2 of them come in sizes over a D cup (and of those 2, only 1 comes in a DD cup smaller than a 38 band). S-M-L-XL bras often don't support well over a B cup, because if you buy the proper band size, the cup size is usually wrong. It would be wonderful to see a post of bra recommendations for full-figured and full-busted women. Link Love Running a race?

Why We're the Leader in Dart Boards:
Had enough of the bent up darts and broken boards at your local pub? Are you the owner of said pub, looking to please fed up customers who are threatening to buy their own dartboards and beer? There are plenty of reasons to shop at Dartboards.com, and we can solve them all.
Drive yourself to your local sporting goods store and strike up a conversation with the salesperson there. What are they offering in darts and dartboards? What can they tell you about the relative merits of one dartboard over another? We'll comfortably wager they won't have much more to say than that the expensive one is the "nice" one. They're liable to talk your ear off about basketball hoops and baseball mitts, but that's not what you want. For informed information, honest opinions, and, most importantly, the right product for what you need, Dartboards.com is the place to shop.
Look at our expansive list of brands offered and the scores of products available from each. You will not find such selection of huge names like Halex, Viper, Arachnid and Accudart under the same roof- or anywhere for that matter. In fact, you might consider yourself lucky to find a selection of even one top dart name within driving distance of your home.
And as far as support after the sale, we're always available to help- just a phone call or email away. Whether you're in need of further instructions on an installation problem or advice on your next purchase, we've got people to help you. Dart related problems are what we do best, but if you need help solving your kids' homework problems or advice on selecting a radial tire, we'll do what we can.
"My son loved the Bristle cabinet set that I sent him for his birthday. He has it hanging up in his dorm room. His dorm mates told him that he has a cool mom for sending him that gift."

Gas prices finally drop -- a tiny bit
Prices rose every day for the previous 27 days, and they're likely to start climbing again.
This is one streak we're glad to see come to an end: After 27 days of going nowhere but up, gas prices have dropped by an itsy-bitsy 0.3 of a cent.
The national average price for regular gas is now $3.764, according to AAA. The average a month ago was $3.478. A year ago it was $3.509.
Here's where you'll find the highest average gas prices around the United States. We've included diesel for a quick comparison:
Gasoline | Diesel | |
Hawaii | $4.377 | $4.886 |
California | $4.346 | $4.498 |
Alaska | $4.179 | $4.457 |
Connecticut | $3.997 | $4.372 |
New York | $3.992 | $4.380 |
Oregon | $3.956 | $4.345 |
Illinois | $3.943 | $4.041 |
Washington | $3.939 | $4.387 |
Michigan | $3.914 | $3.981 |
Washington, D.C. | $3.886 | $4.212 |
One day does not a trend make, and the experts say we can expect to see gas prices march upward into unprecedented territory. The Associated Press says, "The Oil Price Information Service predicts the nationwide average could peak at $4.25 per gallon in late April, beating the record high of $4.11 per gallon set in July 2008." (Post continues below.)
Today's slight decline wasn't universal. California's average went up 0.3 of a cent, to $4.346 a gallon, the Los Angeles Times said.
And there's not even a whiff of good news for owners of diesel pickups. The price of diesel went up 0.1 of a cent, to a national average of $4.084.
There are, however, states where the average price of gasoline isn't yet close to the $4 mark. The states with the lowest gas prices, according to AAA:
| Gasoline | Diesel |
Wyoming | $3.227 | $3.938 |
Colorado | $3.255 | $3.828 |
Montana | $3.344 | $4.041 |
Utah | $3.475 | $4.064 |
Idaho | $3.496 | $4.171 |
Missouri | $3.535 | $3.868 |
Oklahoma | $3.555 | $3.879 |
South Carolina | $3.562 | $3.940 |
Arkansas | $3.574 | $3.957 |
Mississippi | $3.588 | $3.946 |
New Mexico | $3.588 | $4.079 |
Minnesota | $3.588 | $4.030 |
Motorists have responded to the rising price of gas by driving less. Gas consumption last week was 6.3% lower than it was a year ago, according to MasterCard SpendingPulse.
Why are gas prices heading to the stratosphere? The L.A. Times summed it up well:
The reasons for the high fuel costs are many and too numerous to mention in every article. They include the high price of oil, which accounts for 80% of the cost of gasoline. Refinery shutdowns have also affected fuel supplies, as have a record number of U.S. exports of fuel distillates such as diesel.
Investment speculators, hedge funds and other are also driving up the price of commodities futures with billions of dollars in long-term bets that the cost of gasoline and oil will continue to rise.
More on MSN Money:
We have no shortage and demand in the US has dropped due to more nigher mileage cars being sold. So are the oil companies letting out just enough to match demand and keep the price up here? THe law of supply and demand no longer applies. Gas should be way down but its not going down, maybe all the cutting back and buying high mileage cars aren't really doing anything but giving Haji, Apoo or Takimoto more gas from the USA. All the while the oil companies get tax payer subsidies. Sounds pretty $hitty to me and people need to be looking at the oil companies.
gas prices increase by .50cents a gallon and when they decrease by .20cents after the increase a gallon we figure ahh we got a bargain now. how easy we are manipulated by the government.where are the smart people of this country? how long do the people of the united states allow this to happen. we are now producing oil in our own country but selling it to other counties for a profit. why sell it for $4.00dollars a gallon when you you can sell it for $9.00a gallon elsewhere and deprive the american people of their own product. just because the people in washington screwded our economy from the get."unbelieveable". wake up america." a true patriot".
But don't take my word for it....do your own homework and do your own search.
Now he blames the prices on the problems in the Middle East. Thank God he's got you idiots, who hang onto and believe his every word.
So.....Obama lovers.....how does that help me when I go fill up my Jeep Liberty in the morning?

We've been driving our Tesla in Belgium for more than six months and have racked up nearly 20,000 kms. Every working day I drive it to my job and to my business appointments – no problems whatsoever. It's perfect for our daily use in and around our home in Ghent. But we were curious to know whether it could "go the distance," so to speak, and serve as a road trip car.
Almost four years ago, while I was surfing the web, I discovered a relatively unknown startup company with the keen aim to build a fully electric sports car. I loved that idea from the first second. When I read the key figures I was totally convinced.
Der Devisenhändler lebt in der Nähe des Schwarzwalds. Dieser "Extremfahrer" fuhr mit seinem letzten Auto 902.000 km und hat bereits 65.000 km mit seinem Roadster zurückgelegt.
Hansjörg is a stock broker who lives near Germany's Black Forest. This "extreme driver" drove one of his previous cars 560,000 miles and has already put about 40,000 miles on his Roadster.
I slipped into the driver's seat of a Tesla Roadster for the first time seven months ago. As the green technology reporter for Silicon Valley blog VentureBeat, I expected to drive it for a few hours before writing a basic review. What I didn't expect is that a) I would fall in love with the car (and its rollercoaster acceleration), and that b) this one afternoon would set me on track to where I am now: starting as the newest member of Tesla Motors' communications team.
I've been a Corvette guy since 1988. A 1988 C4, a 1998 C5, and finally, a 2006 C6 Z06 that I picked up at the factory in Bowling Green, Kentucky and drove home to California on what is left of the old Route 66.
I love powerful, fast, good looking, American-made muscle cars. My wife, Sharon, on the other hand… not so much. She tolerates them.
In early 2010, Tesla teamed up TAG Heuer to honor the premium watchmaker's 150th anniversary. Together, the companies created the Odyssey of Pioneers, an around the world journey in the one-of-a-kind TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster. The trip began in Basel, Switzerland, in March and over the past months, the car, piloted by Tesla Technician Luke McClure, has traveled over 10,318 miles through Europe, Russia, and Asia.
The Model S is the premium sedan evolved. It will raise the bar of vehicle efficiency, meet the highest standards for safety, and provide more cargo space than any other sedan. It will be as beautiful as it is functional. Here's how we will build it. The Model S will be produced at the new Tesla Factory in Fremont, California. Everything from body panel stamping to final quality testing will take place at the Tesla Factory. We will also work to set environmental benchmarks for energy efficiency and emission levels.
Written by Vincent and Maggie Argiro
Our Tesla journey began like so many others, years ago, when the Roadster was not yet in production. For all of us, the car was more a dream than a fully tangible reality. Our Tesla dream was deferred further when we decided to move from the U.S. Midwest to Western Canada.
Paolo is an insurance agent from Rossano Veneto, about 40 miles from the canals of Venice. His Arctic White Roadster Sport was one of the first Teslas in Italy – and we expect it to become one of the most high-mileage Roadsters in Europe at this rate! Versione Italiana As a long-time technology fan, and contrary to what everyone else around me was saying, I knew what I could have expected from an electric car. But the Tesla Roadster has exceeded every expectation. What an incredible car! But let's back up.
Paolo è un agente assicurativo che vive a Rossano Veneto, Vicenza. Il suo bianco artico Roadster Sport è stato uno dei primi Teslas in Italia - e ci aspettiamo di diventare una delle roadster più alto chilometraggio in Europa! English Version Da appassionato di tecnologia, contrariamente a quel che la gente diceva attorno a me, so cosa potevo aspettarmi da un'auto elettrica. Ma la Tesla Roadster ha superato ogni mia più rosea aspettativa! Che auto incredibile!
Easter Monday 2010 saw the first official motor race that included Electric Vehicles in the UK. Held at the Historic Goodwood Circuit, Tesla Motors became the world's first electric vehicle manufacturer to enter competitive motorsport in the UK.
Roadster owners are a fascinating group of people with varied backgrounds and great stories to tell. I've had the pleasure of getting to know many of them over the past year delivering cars from our Menlo Park store. After rejoining our headquarters Customer Service team, it's the daily interaction with our owners I miss most. When asked to help host the March 21st Road Rally for local customers, I didn't hesitate.
The Swiss are known for their timepieces and punctuality, but I was surprised to see so many arrive so early on March 20th at the Muensterplatz in Basel, Switzerland for the first leg of The Odyssey of Pioneers. "We couldn't wait for the beginning of the Road Rally. We were so excited to meet the other customers and see their Roadsters!" I heard many times.
This blog post is a follow up to last week's post "How We Went Out for a Pizza and Came Home with a Roadster"
The Tesla snowmobile
On December 4th our Roadster was ready, but were we? We live in the hills nine miles from and 1800 feet above downtown Boulder. It had been snowing all week. There were cars in the ditch on our road. My m-coupe is moth-balled for the winter. How could we get our Tesla home?
They say time-travel is impossible.
I know, I know, "Star Trek", "Men in Black"... I mean, for real!
But time is a relative thing. And, as Robert Lamm wrote and the band Chicago sang, "Does anybody really know what time it is?"
At Tesla we believe that the future of the automobile is electric. The revolutionary Roadster is a first great step in that direction. We took an uncompromised approach to designing and building the Roadster to show that an electric car could surpass gas-powered cars in design, performance, durability, and plain driving fun. Many Roadster owners around the world tell us the car has to be driven to be believed, and after living with the Roadster they can never go back to an old-fashioned car.
Michael Thwaite is a petrol-head who became a volt-head after seeing "Who Killed the Electric Car?" He's not sure he'll ever go back.
At Tesla we're proud of our Roadster. "Fergus247" put it best in his comment about our recent video, "Imagine if all car companies loved their products this much. Hell, imagine if everyone producing some kind of product loves it like Tesla loves theirs." It's true. I look forward to driving one of our cars every chance I get, and get a thrill every time I'm behind the wheel. I think everyone who can should be driving a Roadster. It's a feeling all of us share at Tesla. So you could say we're biased. That's where car critics come in.
The Tesla Roadster goes more than 200 miles (380 km) on a single charge. The average person drives about 40 miles (60km) in a day. This leaves a range of about 160 miles (257km) after an average day of driving in a Tesla Roadster. Meaning that at the end of the day when a Roadster is plugged in to be charged up, it is really only to top off the battery.
Why is this significant?
It is important to understand the amount of energy a battery draws when charging and how this affects the electricity grid.
At the North American International Auto Show in Detroit Tesla had many stories to tell. We displayed three cars, each representing a facet of the Tesla story. VIN 1000 embodied a significant production milestone. The Road Trip Roadster, filthy from its drive to Detroit, was a testament to the durability and toughness of our technology. The Model S symbolized Tesla's future – the ruby red car dazzled media, fans, and industry leaders alike.
For 20+ years, Eric has lived his dream in the Visual Effects industry. It wasn't until he rode in a Roadster at its Santa Monica debut that he found a new passion. Eric is co-founder of Tesla owner's Socal Greenspeed Club and thinks the future is electric.
Stefano Durdic is a serial entrepreneur based in Lombard, Illinois. The Chicago Tribune recently described him as an electric car evangelist. He prefers "EVangelist."

Kolkata hosts week-long "Seven Sisters Weave" north east fair
Kolkata, Oct 1 : In an endeavor to raise awareness about the northeast, which has a rich and vibrant culture, a week-long "Seven Sisters Weave" fair was recently held in Kolkata.
The fair was organized by the Weaver Studio of Kolkata with an aim of bringing exhibitors and artisans from the Northeast on one platform to showcase their rich handicrafts and handlooms.
The exhibitors benefit from the fair as they get to know customer demands, and the changes they need to make in their products, for markets in Kolkata and in other places.
Soni, an exhibitor from Nagaland, showcased a variety of products like bags, cushion covers, fabrics and Naga shawls. She was thrilled by the response of the people.
"Since "Weaver Studio" is very famous for the textile division and doing a lot for craftsmen so this is a good platform for us to showcase our products here. Nagaland has a rich culture and tradition and the people should know about it, such fair gives us an opportunity to bring our culture here," said Soni.
"We know about northeastern states but to bring their culture here is in the Weaver Studio is a big challenge for them. Due to bad communication they often can't reach to the northeastern states whereas the Northeast is very much part of India but to know about the tradition of is different thing. So, organizing such fair is to give them opportunity to make clients here that they can easily make contact with shops through which they can send their design for sale and exchange of the products," said Darshan Shah, an organiser of the Weaver Studio.
"This exhibition is not only a profit making venture but we would like to exhibit our rich culture and traditional attire of Nagaland also with bags and cushion cover with colourful Naga designs," said Kiniley, an exhibitor from Nagaland.
Many visitors thronged the venue and appreciated the products on display. During the fair, artists from Manipur performed dances like Raas leela, Lai haoraoba and Pung Cholom.
"This is a very exciting exhibition. I love the tradition of the Northeast. they have huge natural resources and craft knowledge, their designs have unique essence and I am looking for the sling bags and cushion covers which we do not get here because it was directly from weave which is very interesting and very thrilled to see ," added Sounak Chakraborty, a customer.
Such fairs not only bring the artisans into limelight, but also provide them a platform to reach out to a new market.

smell (směl)
v. smelled or smelt (smělt), smell·ing, smells
To perceive the scent of something by means of the olfactory nerves. n.
The sense by which odors are perceived; the olfactory sense.
In addition to the idioms beginning with smell, also see come up (smelling like) roses; stink (smell) to high heaven.
the detection and identification by sensory organs of airborne chemicals. The concept of smell, as it applies to humans, becomes less distinct when invertebrates and lower vertebrates (fish and amphibians) are considered, because many lower animals detect chemicals in the environment by means of receptors in various locations on the body, and no invertebrate possesses a chemoreceptive structure resembling the vertebrate nasal cavity. For this reason, many authorities prefer to regard smell as distance chemoreception and taste as contact chemoreception.

The first Family Dollar store was opened in Charlotte, NC, in 1959. It was a relatively small, self-service operation located in a neighborhood convenient to low and middle income consumers. The merchandise assortment featured basic goods for family and home needs. The no frills, low overhead, cash-and-carry environment provided good value at the lowest price points. As the company opened more stores, it became clear that this merchandising concept filled a niche in the marketplace and held great promise for supporting a chain of much larger size. Refinements have been made through the years, but we have never lost sight of our original concept. From the beginning, all our efforts have been focused on meeting the needs of our customer base for good quality, low-cost, basic merchandise. Those refinements, combined with our mission and vision has led Family Dollar to become a leading Fortune 400 company. Our core values have led the Company to be a strong and stable corporation among the S&P 500.

WBB: Iowa State Knocks Off Texas TechBy Rob Gray, Reporter
AMES, Iowa — Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly made Nikki Moody his quarterback.
The Cyclone point guard's second-half scheme for Saturday's Big 12 game against Texas Tech? Smashmouth basketball. "I said, 'It's like a football game and we're just gonna run it down their throat,'" said Fennelly, whose No. 23 team ruled the paint and coasted to a 67-52 Big 12 win before 11,932 fans at Hilton Coliseum. "That's all I told her, 'Just hand it off, three yards, four yards — just run it down their throat." ISU post players Chelsea Poppens and Anna Prins combined to go 7 of 9 in the paint in the second half as the Cyclones (15-5, 6-4) completed a regular season sweep of the Red Raiders (16-6, 6-4). Poppens scored a team-best 18 points. Prins added 12. They played a combined 10 minutes in the first half because of foul trouble. "Anna and I both got pretty anxious," said Poppens, who added nine rebounds and a career high-tying four assists. Why? The Cyclones made just 3 of their first 15 shots and trailed 20-12 with 6:50 left in the first half. Enter Hallie Christofferson, who scored six of ISU's next nine points and helped cut the deficit to 29-25 at halftime. "It was kind of a miracle we were only down four," said Christofferson, who notched her eighth career double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Christofferson also tied a career high with four blocked shots. "When you really need a play, she seems to be the kid you can count on," Fennelly said. ISU relied heavily on Poppens and Prins after halftime. Moody immediately fed Poppens, who responded with a baby hook and swish to make the score 29-27. That familiar maneuver sparked a 13-2 run that jolted Tech, which drained just 21.4 percent of its second-half shots and trailed by double digits the final 11:24. "We were as cold in here as it it outside," Red Raiders coach Kristy Curry said. The Cyclones shot 64.2 percent (18 of 28) after their frosty 3 of 15 start and outmuscled Tech 18-4 in the paint after the break. " We really came out ready to go and fired up," Christofferson said. "At halftime, everybody knew what they needed to do." MOODY NICKED UP: ISU point guard Nikki Moody dinged up an already ailing right wrist during the second half. Fennelly said she hurt it in practice recently. "She should be fine with a day off," he added. Moody had six assists and a Big 12 season-low two turnovers.

The Honorable Patrick Leahy
United States Senator
STATEMENT OF SENATOR PATRICK LEAHY, Habeas corpus was recklessly undermined in last year's legislation. Senator Specter and I urged caution before taking that dangerous step, but fell just a few votes shy on our amendment to restore these protections. It is now six months later with the election behind us. I hope that the new Senate will reconsider this historic error in judgment and set the matter right. It is urgent that we restore our legal traditions and reestablish this fundamental check on the ability of the Government to lock someone away without meaningful judicial review of its action. The time to act is now. The Military Commissions Act, passed hastily in the weeks leading up to last year's election, was a profound mistake, and its elimination of habeas corpus rights was its worst error. Like the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, the elimination of habeas rights was an action driven by fear and another stain on America's reputation in the world. Justice Scalia wrote in the Hamdi case: "The very core of liberty secured by our Anglo-Saxon system of separated powers has been freedom from indefinite imprisonment at the will of the Executive." The remedy that secures that most basic of freedoms is habeas corpus. It provides a check against arbitrary detentions and constitutional violations. This Great Writ is the legal process that guarantees an opportunity to go to court and challenge the abuse of power by the Government. The Military Commissions Act rolled back these protections by eliminating that right, permanently, for any non-citizen labeled an enemy combatant. In fact, a detainee does not have to found to be an enemy combatant; it is enough for the Government to say someone is "awaiting" determination of that status. The sweep of this habeas provision goes far beyond the few hundred detainees currently held at Guantanamo Bay, and includes an estimated 12 million lawful permanent residents in the United States today. These are lawful residents of the United States, people who work and pay taxes, people who abide by our laws and should be entitled to fair treatment. These are people we have traditionally welcomed to our shores and invited to experience the freedoms that made America the most admired country in the world. Under this law, any of these people can be detained, forever, without any ability to challenge their detention in court. I look forward to hearing from Professor Cuellar and others who can elaborate on this disastrous change, and its potentially disproportionate impact on the Latino population, which accounts for so many of the country's hard-working legal immigrants. Since last fall, I have been talking about a nightmare scenario in which a hard-working legal permanent resident who makes an innocent donation to a charity, perhaps a Muslim charity, to help poor people around the world in the finest American tradition. Maybe that charity is secretly suspected by the Government to have a tie, however tenuous, to terrorist groups. Based on that suspected "tie," perhaps combined with an overzealous neighbor reporting "suspicious behavior," having seen people of a different culture visiting, or with information secretly obtained from a cursory review of the person's library borrowings, the permanent resident could be brought in for questioning, denied a lawyer, confined, and even tortured. Such a person would have no ability to go to court to plead his or her innocence - for years, for decades, forever. This is the kind of "disappearance" that America has criticized and condemned in parts of the world ruled by autocratic regimes. That is not America. When I first spelled out this nightmare scenario, many people viewed it as a far-fetched hypothetical, but sadly it was not. Last November, just after enactment of these provisions, this was confirmed by the Department of Justice in a legal brief submitted in federal court in Virginia. The U.S. Government, seeking to dismiss a detainee's habeas case, said that the Military Commissions Act allows the Government to detain any non-citizen designated as an enemy combatant without giving that person any ability to challenge his detention in court. And this is not just at Guantanamo Bay for those whom this Administration likes to call the worst of the worst. The Justice Department said it is true even for someone arrested and imprisoned in the United States. I was shocked when Attorney General Gonzales maintained at a hearing earlier this year that our Constitution does not provide a right to habeas corpus. But more damaging was the Senate's decision over our opposition to remove this vital check that our legal system provides against the Government arbitrarily detaining people for life without charge. This is wrong. It is unconstitutional. It is un-American We all want to make America safe from terrorism. But I implore those who supported this change to think about whether eliminating habeas truly makes America safer in the world, and whether it comports with the values, liberties, and legal traditions we hold most dear. I hope this hearing will help convince all in Congress that it does none of those things. Our leading military lawyers, like Admiral Guter, tell us that eliminating key rights for detainees hinders the safety of our troops and the effectiveness of our defense. Diplomats and foreign policy specialists, like Mr. Taft, tell us that eliminating habeas rights reduces our influence in the world. Immigration attorneys and academics tell us that our Nation's hard-working immigrants are at risk from this change. Top legal scholars, and conservatives like Kenneth Starr, Professor Richard Epstein, and David Keene, head of the American Conservative Union, agree that this change betrays centuries of legal tradition and practice. Professor David Gushee, head of Evangelicals for Human Rights, submitted a declaration signed by evangelical leaders nationwide, which refers to the elimination of habeas rights and related changes as "deeply lamentable" and "fraught with danger to basic human rights." Senator Specter and I have both supported the notion of effective and efficient military tribunals to bring terrorists to justice. Long before this Administration had to be ordered by the Supreme Court to revisit its unilateral practices, both Senator Specter and I had introduced military commission legislation in 2002. The elimination of basic legal rights undermines, not strengthens, our ability to achieve justice. It is from strength that America should defend our values and our way of life. It is from the strength of our freedoms, our Constitution, and the rule of law that we can prevail. We can ensure our security without giving up our liberty. I will keep working on this issue until we restore the checks and balances that are fundamental to preserving the liberties that define us as a Nation. # # # # # |

Alumni & Family Weekend
Thank you for attending this year's Alumni & Family Weekend
This year, nearly 1,500 alumni, students, family, and other members of the College community attended Alumni & Family Weekend, Feb. 14-16. Thank you.
The men's basketball team set the tone with a convincing victory over DePaul before a boisterous, sold-out Dunkin' Donuts Center crowd, which paved the way for multiple jubilant post-game receptions in downtown Providence.
"The weekend was a beautiful reminder that once you're at PC, you're part of the family, and the family is always ready and willing to welcome you back," said Amanda Mathieu '11, who noted one of the highlights for her was the basketball game. "This year's Alumni & Family Weekend really spoke to the endurance of the PC family."

This June we participated in the Minneapolis 48 Hour Film Project for our 5th year in a row! This is one of our favorite local competition film fests, mainly because from the time we turn in our film, it's only a matter of days before we get to see it on the big screen in a packed theater at the Riverview! There's nothing better than seeing your film like that...it's such a rush..
What a BUSY spring we've had! Back in mid-April we were contacted by Simonson's Salon to create two commercial videos that would air for the first time at KDWB's Star Party - and of course we jumped at the chance!

Beauty Without Cruelty Natural Look Tinted Moisturizer Medium 2 -- 1 fl oz
Inaccurate Color
When the other tinted moisturizer I bought from Vitacost was no longer available, I decided to try this, but the color is much darker than I expected when I ordered Medium.
May 5, 2012
Great Moisturizer w/ color!
I bought the medium color as I have a tan in the summer. It was perfect, didn't rub off. I have combination skin and it did shine up a little more in the afternoon which I didn't like, but overall it has great coverage.
June 26, 2009
Doesn't feel heavy at all
I initially decided to use this just on the weekends when I don't wear much makeup. I was surprised, it really had more color to it than I had expected. My regular moisturizer still gets applied first, with the tinted moisturizer over the top. The "medium" is just a little too dark for my "fair" complexion. I wear it during the work week now, too.

In a recent interview with The Gauntlet, Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick took some time to reflect on taking lessons from guitar great Joe Satriani, including seeking Joe's advice on joining a metal band. An excerpt follows:
While we're not sure about the long-term viability of the holiday, today seems as fitting a time as any to look at 11 essential thrash metal albums that any self-respecting metalhead will have in their record collection.
With their new album, The Dark Roots of Earth scheduled for a February 2012 release, Testament - with original members Alex Skolnick and Greg Christian back in the fold - are well on their way to reclaiming the Bay Area thrash dominance they held in the late eighties and early nineties.
Scratch that new Les Paul off your Christmas wish list and add this: Testament's Alex Skolnick and Megadeth's Chris Broderick have just announced the first annual Skolnick & Broderick's Winter Guitar Retreat, which is set to take place at Full Moon Resort in New York's Catskill Mountains from December 26-30.
It looks like the rumors of a tour featuring Anthrax, Testament, Death Angel and Overkill were 3/4 true anyway.
Testament have officially hopped on the YouTube bandwagon and started their very own channel.
Full Metal Jackie, corresponding for Guitar World from the 2011 Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, got the chance to talk with Testament guitarists Alex Skolnick and Eric Peterson.
Thrash metal veterans Testament have have announced the title of their forthcoming new album.
Bay Area thrash metal veterans Testament have just entered the studio with producer Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Arch Enemy, Machine Head) to begin recording the follow-up to 2008's The Formation Of Damnation
After repeatedly coming across Top 10 lists of "Hot Female Guitar Players," I thought it only fitting that I turn the tables. So the following has nothing to do with chops, style, technique or anything guitar-related. It's just a highly opinionated list (with a photo gallery, of course) of hot-looking guys who, oh yeah, also play guitar.

This is where emerging music is headed, so get on the French Express and don't stop dancing until they kick you off the mutherfunking train.

Digital Tattoo Is Conceptual, Questionable
The Digital Tattoo Interface was another entry in the Greener Design Competition that the gravity lamp won second place in. It's an electronic interface embedded under the skin that looks like a tattoo. It's nuts. You could use it as a phone, computer, or traditional tattoo by downloading a picture of a unicorn from the internet. It runs on blood by turning glucose and oxygen into electricity. I don't trust it. Mostly because Jim Mielke, the man responsible for the concept, ends his spiel with "This product is waterproof and powered by pizza." Now get real Jim, who's going to believe that? Everybody who isn't a raving lunatic knows a digital tattoo interface can't run on pizza. Spaghetti-O's maybe, but pizza? You so crazy.

Keep Testosterone In BalanceThe positive and negative effects of the male hormone. By Lynda Liu
Produced by the testes (though women's ovaries make some, too), the hormone propels prepubescent boys toward deeper voices and hairy chests. In a grown man, it fuels a healthy libido, builds muscle mass and helps maintain energy levels. But too much of it -- or too little -- can wreak havoc on a man's behavior and physique. Why More Isn't Always Better According to a study in the April 1999 Journal of Behavioral Medicine, higher-than-average testosterone levels offer certain benefits but also carry some serious risks. Researchers at Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Penn., reviewed the records of 4,393 men between the ages of 32 and 44 who had served in the military between 1965 and 1971. Their blood had been drawn to determine testosterone levels -- which ranged from 53 to 1,500 nanograms per deciliter, with an average of 679. (The normal range in males is 270 to 1,070 nanograms.) Men whose testosterone levels were slightly above average were 45% less likely to have high blood pressure, 72% less likely to have experienced a heart attack and 75% less likely to be obese than men whose levels were slightly below average. These men were also 45% less likely to rate their own health as fair or poor. But the results weren't all rosy. These men were also 24% more likely to report one or more injuries, 32% more likely to consume five or more drinks in a day, 35% more likely to have had a sexually transmitted infection, and 151% more likely to smoke. The news got worse at very high testosterone levels (1000 nanograms), where men were even more likely to engage in risky behavior -- and less likely to reap the positive health benefits of testosterone. The results aren't really surprising, says lead author Alan Booth, PhD -- a professor of sociology and human development -- because testosterone has been associated with risky behavior in many studies. Men with high testosterone levels are more likely to be involved in criminal activity and antisocial behavior, get in trouble in school, remain single, and be unemployed. But this doesn't mean that all men with high testosterone levels are doomed to a bad fate, he said. "There's lots of high testosterone people out there with good marriages who don't commit crimes." Taking all the factors together, researchers found that the healthiest men overall had testosterone levels between 400 to 600 nanograms. They seemed to enjoy the most benefits and experience the least risks associated with the hormone. When Medical Treatment Is Needed Some men may have higher testosterone levels than others, but it's rare that a man's level is so high that he needs treatment, says Eugene R. Shippen, MD, author of The Testosterone Syndrome. It's much more common, he says, to treat low testosterone levels. A man's testosterone level peaks at age 20 and then slowly declines for the rest of his life. A problematic decrease can happen to men as early as their 30s, says Shippen. "It's rare in the 30s, infrequent in the 40s, relatively common in the 50s and pretty common in the ages above." Medically, the condition is known as hypogonadism -- the underproduction of testosterone in the testes -- but it's commonly referred to as "male menopause." This drop in testosterone is accompanied by a decrease in sex drive and sexual dysfunction; a decline in physical energy, strength, and stamina; more aches and pains in the bones and joints; and less initiative and mental aggressiveness. In short, says Shippen, the aging process accelerates. Doctors can treat low testosterone levels with injections, patches, and topical creams or gels. A man on hormone replacement therapy will use it for the rest of his life, in the same way that women taking estrogen do. Know Your Testosterone Once a man is on replacement therapy, it's important to monitor his testosterone levels, says Booth. A man may feel better at first, but if his levels get too high he could become aggressive and angry. In fact, monitoring testosterone levels every five years is a good idea for all men 35 or older, says Shippen. "The reason to do testing in younger men periodically is to establish baseline levels when they're healthy." Doctors can then compare levels as men get older and make sure no significant drops take place.

Montana's Original Governor's Mansion (OGM) is an historic house museum located at 304 North Ewing Street near downtown Helena. Entrepreneur William Chessman built the Mansion as a private residence in 1888. The three-story Queen Anne-style structure was acquired by the State of Montana in 1913 to serve as its first official governor's residence. The home then housed a succession of nine First Families until a new governor's residence was built in 1959. The Original Governor's Mansion Restoration Society began to refurbish the building in 1969 with the support of the City of Helena, and has continued to provide essential community support. Since 1981 the Montana Historical Society has administered the Mansion, and today, the building is carefully restored to its authentic appearance during the mansion's first years as home to Montana's governors.
Step into history with a one-hour guided tour of the Moss Mansion Historic House Museum. The tour captures early turn-of-the-century life as the Preston Boyd Moss family lived it. Visitors see original draperies, fixtures, furniture, Persian carpets and artifacts displayed in the 1903 red sandstone structure. Designed by the New York architect, Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, designer of the original Waldorf Astoria, Plaza Hotels, Williard Hotel, and Copley Hotel. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Please visit the Moss Mansion website.
