An issue of Weight
FightHype Community
Jun 15 2009, 07:52 PM
i really dont know what to think
i think a Pac vs Mosley/Cotto would be great
i even think PBF vs JMM would be competitive at 140/143
but it seems fighters are getting criticised for entertaining the idea
i totally agree with the weight divisions, i think there is a little too many in the lower weight classes
but all in all its in the best interest of the fighters
the questin is what really is feasible
here's the crazy thing Hatton apart from PBF never really warmed to taking on welterweights, there's a big reason for that given that people like Pwill (6'1") would simply be too big for Hatton
but all of a sudden Mosly, Cotto and even Margarito wanna fight Pac????
i think Pac's best weight is 140 - 142
he fought at welterweight but was under the limit
also in this day and age of nutritionist and dieticians its much easier for fighters to dehydrate and rehydrate in a short period. this is exactly why there are natural middleweights in that division
im not sure so hopefully somene like hype, lightsout or johnnyblaze can confirm this but i think todays welterweights are bigger and more powerful than those of the past
that being said it does drain some fighters making weight
if mosley comes down to 144 and losses the weight will get blamed
conversely Pac will get credit for beating a larger guy
shoudl the reverse happen then the same principle applies, Pac is too small and Mosley beat a great figther
i really think its unfair to both fighters whatever the outcome, cause whilst one side appluauds the achievement another will surely criticise the outcome
that being said i really really wanna see the fight the happen and cant criticse the little guy going after the big guy or the big guy going after the pound for pound best

At the final camp of the expedition Sanjayan reflects on the meaning of the journey and what lies ahead for this vast land and the people that call it home.

Sanjayan found a kayaking legend who would teach him everything he needed to know before the expedition on the river. Well, he did leave out one minor detail.

Cool Green Morning time:

The buggy evening, without a spot of wind, was transformed near midnight into a gale. We had picked out campsite designed for the views and to catch the slightest breeze; we were unprepared for the hard rain.
Written by Sanjayan | August 3rd, 2011(2)
Overnight, a storm gathered in silence and quickly pounced. The hot windless evening of yesterday has been replaced by lashing rain and gale force winds. Our tents are anchored with heavy rocks, and yet we fear to leave them empty for too long lest they are tossed into the river.

So far there are two constants in the campsites that have been selected, they are poor for fishing and great for bugs. But once they settle in, what is life like in one of the most remote spots in North America?

My First Trip to MozCon Will Not Be My Last
I've been to multiple SEO-related conferences over the years. The first 2 in Europe that I went to really opened up my eyes to having an SEO thought process and approach. However, over the next few years I quickly grew tired of hearing the same things being said over and over again. They started to feel stale to me and I thought that perhaps I would just start skipping them and just read the takeaway blog posts and tweets that would follow. The truth is that so many conference sessions (and not just search marketing ones either) over-promise and under-deliver. It's the exception, not the rule, to find a conference where a majority of the sessions are well-presented, inspiring and give practical, tangible, and actionable suggestions/ideas.
MozCon 2013 was one of those exceptional conferences.
I loved this conference. I really liked the format and prefer the single track model. I think it helps the organizers ensure that they deliver high quality presentations consistently. While almost all of the MozCon 2013 content is published live, so much of its value came from the people you'd meet and the dynamic energy and details from watching and listening to the speakers. I'm really glad that the session videos are available for attendees. I'll definitely be going back to re-watch some of the presentations. There is so much information to take in, it is difficult to capture everything and absorb it all at once.
So, I suggest you look through the presentations, but I'd like to highlight the most important things that I learned.
Takeaways from MozCon 2013 (mostly following the conference agenda)
Bottom Line: Marketing is changing. If you want to succeed you need to build loyalty through long-term branded relationships. To do so you need to work relentlessly looking to be creative and authentic. Don't accept a lack of resources as an excuse to not do something. You just need to be even more creative. Finally, start moving right away and iterate. Strategies not executed could be wonderful but they are worth no more than a paperweight. Start doin' something because inspiration is everywhere.
Now, on to the show….
- Brand marketing & SEO have converged because "Web Marketing is Becoming Brand Dominated". Google favors brands and if you want to compete in Google (and for social media followers) you need to adopt a comprehensive strategy to be authentic to your brand and turn up your creativity. "Create a brand that people know, trust and share" – @randfishkin
- Highly targeted outreach is very powerful and doesn't have to be overwhelming and inefficient
- Followerwonk, and Topsy are indispensable tools for outreach and intelligent social media campaigns
From Richard Baxter, CEO of SEOgadget
- Always use a native speaker who understands the local language: @aleyda laid out a clear map on how to
find the lost ark,approach international SEO. I learned this first hand at my last job (Mecalux / Logismarket). Imagine a British transportation website targeting "lorrie" in the USA.
- See, Think Do: @avinash always brings the house down. That is how people engage in purchasing decisions and that is how marketers need to approach their audiences. Today, most online marketers only target the "Do" phase and are not doing much, and more importantly, measuring any success in the "See" and "Think" phases of engagement.
- Show me with a picture: Whether you like it or not from an SEO perspective, images are what people want and share most often. from @lenawest
- The object oriented web is here: If you are not tagging your HTML with meta-data (based on schema.org), you are missing an opportunity. Find a developer and start implementing this today. Help Google understand the web better and you'll be rewarded. Leverage Freebase, Y! Glimmer and Fresh Web Explorer to find and map entity info to your content. From @MatthewJBrown
- Take the road less traveled: @dharmesh gave us multiple reasons and examples for why you should break from the herd. "Go places others won't. Do things others don't. Experiment early and often because there is an early mover advantage. Remarkable outcomes rarely result from modest risk."
- Embrace openness and uncomfortable transparency. If you are not uncomfortable you are not being transparent enough. The Internet and its increased number of choices and options lead customers to favor those who can most easily trust. Transparency (and authenticity) is the key to building trust among jaded prospects.
- Dharmesh has some bonus slides at the end of his deck and although he didn't discuss this in the talk, there are some gold nuggets to be found like "The most reliable way to out-market your competitors is to out-teach them" (PDF) .
- Only do video if you can't express your idea better in another medium. Phil was very eloquent on this idea and drove home how form drives function in content.
- Any company can afford to do decent video. The challenge is finding the time to learning the skill of filming, composition and editing, but you can always hire freelance to do it at a reasonable price.
- Different video platforms serve different purposes: Use a private hosted video platform for conversion, and product videos. Use YouTube for branding videos, not traffic.
From Phil Nottingham at Distilled UK
- 6 Steps to brand loyalty from @JoannaLord
- Brand Storytelling
- Connect with Customers
- Anticipate Needs / Add Value
- Deliver on Promises
- Be Consistent
- Make it Personal
- Don't just write, curate You don't always have to be cranking out brand-spanking new content in social media. Users will also value you curating and sharing the best insights from others on the web
- Use the right metrics in a world where loyalty more than ever, you need to focus on metrics that incent and reward building loyalty. Instead of focusing on short-term conversion rates, you need to obsess over lifetime value, likelihood to recommend to a friend (NPS), churn rates, etc…
- Don't forget how culture, even local culture drives user behavior @TheWebPsych gave us a helpful guide to inform our content and site design decisions by focusing on Hofstede's Dimensions.
- Power Distance
- Uncertainty Avoidance
- Individualism vs Collectivism
- Masculinity vs Femininity
- Long-Term Orientation
- Indulgence vs Restraint
- Be ready (now) for the always on / connected consumer: @willcritchlow did an excellent job laying out the need to be ready (like now) for the multi-channel modern consumer: "Stop thinking about mobile as devices. Start asking if you are ready for the always-connected customer"
- Strong UX considers the audience fully: You need to make the experience usable, pleasurable and meaningful. These are the UX hierarchy of needs from @allisonurban.
- Delight a segment of your audience by going the extra mile with an unexpected gesture. Those pleasurable surprises can quickly turn customers into advocates. You need to nurture the relationship and that is not just done by simply automating email campaigns.
- You don't need special tools to rock on social media - @carriegouldin, formerly of ThinkGeek, showed us that. Good luck on the job search in Seattle!
- Are your company values aligned with success? Every comany has values whether they know it explicitly or not. @SarahBird walked us through the history of TAGFEE at Moz and how culture will enable or hinder a company's success.
- Culture is not the same as perks! Perks may or may not reflect the organization's culture but they are not one and the same. Companies with no money for perks can still have a great culture.
- Automate research data collection: @wilreynolds shared his great ideas on how to leverage web tools to automate data collection for idea, kw and competitive research. While so many of the presentations were fantastic, Wil's was my favorite (I don't think that I am alone either).
From Wil Reynolds, Founder of SEER Interactive
- The Moz community wasn't built in a day: @jennita walked us through the process, learnings and challenges of building the Moz community. So many companies (especially in B2B) are intimidated and do not invest enough in building a strong community. Her recommendations lay out a simple, yet effective plan that any company can follow and be successful. Her main points that should be followed (and really apply to most projects)
- Always start with goals
- Define clear KPIs and consistent ways to measure progress
- Identify internal talent to contribute content
- Do your research before hand
- It's OK to start small. Build momentum
- Building a strong community is a team sport
- Test, test and re-test
- "Mimicking the competition ensures you will always trail them": In a similar vein as Dharmesh, Rand stressed transparency and authenticity as some of the secret ingredients to better marketing. This was a powerful presentation that served as the perfect bookend to the State of the Union talk at the opening of the conference. The full list of secret ingredients Rand walked us through were:
- Transparency
- Authenticity (the LEGO slide was one of the best I've ever seen)
- Generosity
- Fun
- Empathy
- Be the Exception
Read his deck (PPTX file) (and buy the video to watch when it is available). You WILL change how you market if you do.
Day 4 – My Visit to the Moz Mothership
Since my flights with United were delayed (shocker!), I decided to take advantage of the few extra hours and head over to take a tour of Moz.com's headquarters. Abe gave me the tour and was very helpful. The office was a bit smaller than I had expected, (they have a second location down the street where they have a lot of the engineering and product team) but it had a great atmosphere and definitely was the type of modern office that I'd be comfortable in.
Suggestions For MozCon 2014
- More available and better WiFi: It seems that no conference facility can ever anticipate the bandwidth requirements properly. It did get better towards the end of the conference, but just assume that every attendee has three devices online at the same time and 30% are streaming video. Do that, and you'll plan for enough bandwidth.
- More karaoke: I was so bummed that we ran out of time and I couldn't belt out No Woman No Cry at the Wed. night party at the EMP.
That's it.
Jen's team, especially Erica and Charlene, did an amazing job. As the marketing software market evolves and Moz Analytics develops as a GA product (general availability not Google Analytics), I'm sure next year's MozCon will be even more interesting.
And remember to have some fun too.
What do you look for in a conference? How do you decide which to attend? Let us know in the comments.

After FIPB nod, ByCell plan may hit DoT wall
Thomas K. Thomas
New Delhi , Jan. 7
THE Switzerland-based investment company ByCell Holdings AG's move to invest Rs 457 crore in setting up cellular network in India could hit rough weather with the Department of Telecom saying that the decision by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) to approve the proposal was despite the department seeking more time for examining the proposal.
"Telecom is a security sensitive sector and we had sought deferment of a decision for studying the proposal at the FIPB meeting," said senior DoT officials. They added that the proposal by ByCell could be looked into again when the company along with its Indian joint venture partner approaches the department for licence. There have been numerous instances in the past where FIPB had deferred or denied approval to proposals in the telecom sector, when DoT had raised objections.
The Finance Ministry said on Friday that it had given the approval to ByCell Holding for investing Rs 457 crore in a new joint venture company to offer cellular services in the country.
ByCell Holdings has been permitted by the Government to pick up to 74 per cent stake in the new joint venture, which is planning to offer cellular services in 13 States, including Assam, Bihar, North-East, Orissa and West Bengal.
While no details are available about the Indian partner in the joint venture, as per information available on the Internet, ByCell manages investments in the areas of the information technology and telecommunication. The company has been registered in Switzerland.
However, not much is known about the company. According to the FIPB, the proposal did not merit any further examination because it was as adhering to all the parameters laid down in the present FDI policy of the DoT.

By Jenn Pelly on February 26, 2014 at 11:27 a.m. EST
Last night in New York, David Byrne was among a group of artists to perform at Le Poisson Rouge for a concert and rally organized by Content Creators Coalition-NYC. The goal was to raise awareness of and support for a terrestrial radio performance royalty—in the U.S., only the composers of songs get radio royalties, not the performers. (For example, Whitney Houston never got a royalty every time her cover of "I Will Always Love You" was played on the radio.) The organizers of the event are demanding Congressional action to change this.

By Carrie Battan on October 11, 2013 at 12:38 p.m. EDT
David Byrne's soapbox this week is not limited to discussions of the creative class and wealth inequality in New York. Today The Guardian has published a very long op-ed by Byrne on the much fussed-over topic of digital music streaming, and whether or not dominant services like Spotify and Pandora will actually work to benefit smaller acts in the long run. He references discussions started by other artists, including the Black Keys, Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich, and Damon Krukowski.

A few years ago, Peter Gabriel released an album on which he covered songs by a number of artists, among them Arcade Fire, David Bowie/Brian Eno, Lou Reed, Bon Iver, David Byrne, and the Magnetic Fields. It was called Scratch My Back. Now, he's announced the details of the follow-up, on which many of those same artists turn around and cover Peter Gabriel songs. It's called And I'll Scratch Yours.

San Antonio police make third arrest in illegal poker operation
Adolph Pruneda, 70, charged with keeping a gambling place
SAN ANTONIO - A third suspect has been arrested in connection with an illegal gambling operation on the near Northwest Side, San Antonio police said.
Adolph Pruneda, 70, has been charged with Keeping a Gambling Place, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
The arrest stems from a raid last month where SAPD vice detectives busted an illegal Texas hold 'em operation at a building in the 5000 block of Interstate 10 West near West Avenue.
The affidavit stated detectives found gambling paraphernalia including chips, cards and a lock box containing $3,600.
The Bexar County Appraisal District lists Pruneda as the owner of the location. The affidavit stated other suspects involved in the investigation identified Pruneda from a photo as a participant in the illegal poker games and the property owner. A total of ten people were rounded up during the raid.
Last week, KSAT reported on two other arrests connected to the operation. Jeremy Stewart, 38, was accused of being the card dealer and Nidsa Ruiz, 36, was accused of being a waitress at the location.

Georgia labor officials say the state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate has risen slightly to 8.6 percent.
The December figure is up one-tenth of a percentage point from 8.5 percent in November. The rate was 9.4 percent in December a year ago.
State Labor Commissioner Mark Butler released the new numbers Thursday morning. He said a combination of factors led to the increase. They include what he called a modest increase in new layoffs, along with a small job loss driven primarily by seasonal layoffs in education.
Despite the increase, Butler said it was the best November-to-December job market report since 2007.

Of course, with the Rockets playing like a NBDL team last night and losing for the 5th time in 6 games (in overtime! by 1 point!)... it's making it very hard to remain positive. Did we seriously just let Carmelo Anthony get 16 rebounds!?!? Well, chucking 34 three-pointers and missing 22 of them might be one of the reasons.
Ahhhh... trying to remain positive here. Without further ado - the People That Piss Me Off this week:

Merry Christmas, everyone!!!

Could Northern Illinois cost its conference a BCS payday? If NIU beats Kent State in the MAC Championship, it's unlikely a conference representative will rank high enough (No. 16 or better) to automatically qualify for a BCS spot. And so far, the Huskies have put that windfall in doubt, leading, 17-10.
Kent State bolted to a 10-0 lead thanks in part to a NIU turnover, but 192 total yards from Huskies quarterback Jordan Lynch and a Spencer Keith interception have boosted NIU to 17 straight points. That NIU has outgained Kent State by 195 yards (245 to 50) also does not bode well.
A Kent State loss likely means Oklahoma or Clemson to the Sugar Bowl against Florida, while a Kent State win could mean the Golden Flashes get into the Orange Bowl and Louisville goes to the Sugar. Lots and lots of things are on the line at Ford Field.

On the Waterfront
Canal 125
125 Caledonian Road, N1 9RG, 020 7837 1924
Located in the depths of King's Cross, Canal 125 is a lively bar without attitude. It has high points aplenty, from good-natured staff to a bracing selection of cocktails, but pride of place goes to the two terraces overlooking the canal.
Deep Bar
The Boulevard, Imperial Wharf, SW6 2UB, 020 7736 3337
Attached to a fine fish restaurant, this smart bar is a worthy destination in its own right. Fat leather couches spill onto the riverside terrace, while tasty marine snacks are offered up alongside a small selection of the main restaurant's wines and a worthwhile list of contemporary cocktails.
The Dove
19 Upper Mall, W6 9TA, 020 8748 9474
This waterside charmer's lovely terrace has seen many a famous face – from latter-day lovers Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor to Ingrid Bergman, Ernest Hemingway and Graham Greene. Drink Discovery and London Pride from local brewer Fuller's, while munching on traditional pies, such as steak and ale.
The Grand Union Public House
45 Woodfield Road, W9 2BA, 020 7286 1886
The Grand Union's trump card is its canalside terrace, complete with alfresco tables and a dedicated bar, where a DJ competes against the roar of traffic. Fuller's London Pride and Honeydew complement the simple but tasty pub grub (sausages, burgers and speciality pies).
The Mayflower
117 Rotherhithe Street, SE16 4NF, 020 7237 4088
A top spot for American tourists, for The Mayflower is from where the Pilgrim Fathers set sail in 1620 (well, from an adjacent quay). Still, it's worth jostling with them for seats on the riverside terrace, to down pints of Greene King IPA and Old Speckled Hen.
The Riverside
5 St George Wharf, SW8 2LE, 020 7735 8129
On a sunny day there are few spots to rival outside this quiet pub beneath a chic new riverside development, with a lovely vista over the Thames. Drinks are as you would expect in a Young's pub, though food is a touch on the ordinary side.
The Trafalgar Tavern
6 Park Row, SE10 9NW, 020 8858 2909
Expect good beer and classic English pub food – steak sandwiches, salads and fish and chips – in historic, well-preserved surroundings. The Tavern's popularity can be a bother come summer, but there are few better riverside spots for open-air drinking in Greenwich.
TS Queen Mary
Waterloo Pier, Victoria Embankment, WC2R 2PP, 020 7240 9404
Views from the sundeck of this permanently moored converted Clyde passenger steamer offer a stunning sweep upriver from Cleopatra's Needle westwards. The house wine is at virtually duty-free prices (£7.95 a bottle).
The Waterway
54 Formosa Street, W9 2JU, 020 7266 3557
The Waterway's USP is its vast canalside terrace, which is packed from spring through to autumn. You can quaff Beck's Vier and Adnams alongside a well-rounded selection of wines – though expect a long wait for service.
Ye White Hart
The Terrace, SW13 0NR, 020 8876 5177
The wooden balcony of this villagey Barnes pub is rammed on Boat Race day; tables line the river and there's a barbecue in the garden. It's a Young's house, so expect Bombardier and Waggledance.
Best of the Beer Garden
The Albion
10 Thornhill Road, N1 1HW, 020 7607 7450
This wisteria-covered, 18th-century inn has a raffish past – at the end of the vast beer garden is a barn where the Sex Pistols once played. Nowadays it's a prime spot for a pint each of prawns and Black Sheep.
The Anglesea Arms
15 Selwood Terrace, SW7 3QG, 020 7373 7960
Apparently the Great Train Robbery was plotted at this South Ken local, but today's crowd is definitely not strapped for cash. The terrace is jam-packed on summer evenings and there's a lively selection of real ales (London Pride, Hogs Back Bitter).
The Devonshire Arms
37 Marloes Road, W8 6LA, 020 7937 0710
This modern pub has a shaded garden terrace that hosts barbies. There's Leffe, Hoegaarden and Grolsch, guest ales and a reasonable Old and New World wine selection.
The Engineer
65 Gloucester Avenue, NW1 8JH, 020 7722 0950
A pioneer in the gastropub revolution, The Engineer's pretty garden has separate areas for diners (booking is essential) and drinkers. Tequila-cured salmon on sweetcorn blinis with cucumber and crème fraîche washed down with a glass of crisp white is perfect on a summer's day.
The Freemasons Arms
32 Downshire Hill, NW3 1NT, 020 7433 6811
On a sunny day the Freemasons Arms, just across the road from Hampstead Heath, gets packed with punters vying for its picnic tables; there's even an outdoor bar catering for thirsty sun-worshippers.
The George Inn
77 Borough High Street, SE1 1NH, 020 7407 2056
The George is now London's sole surviving galleried coaching inn – hence its National Trust status. You can sit in the sun-soaked courtyard and sink pints of Greene King, Abbot and various guest ales.
Henry J Beans
195-197 King's Road, SW3 5ED, 020 7352 9255
Don't be put off by the smell of stale booze as you walk in – there's welcome escape in Chelsea's biggest beer garden out back and cheap drinks ensure a cheerful atmosphere.
Paradise by way of Kensal Green
19 Kilburn Lane, W10 4AE, 020 8969 0098
With bohemian charm plus good food and a snappy cocktail list, Paradise is a top spot. There's also a pretty garden and decked roof terrace tailor-made for sun-seekers.
The Ship Inn
41 Jew's Row, SW18 1TB, 020 8870 9667
An alfresco joy with rose-lined patios and split-level decking onto the Thames. Factor in an all-day barbecue plus a beach shack-style cocktail bar and you have one of south London's hottest alfresco destinations.
White Horse
1-3 Parsons Green, SW6 4UL, 020 7736 2115
Known for its barbecues, the terrace gets overwhelmed on sunny days. There are also over 100 bottled beers, a handful of serious cask ales and a blockbuster wine list.

Logical Flaws in Reasoning: Flawed Reasoning, Arguments, and Attitudes
Barnum Effect & Gullibility
A common reference point as to why people believe the advice of psychics and astrologers - not to mention many other nice things said about them - is the 'Barnum Effect.' Named after P.T. Barnum, the Barnum Effect is based upon his famous saying 'There's a sucker born every minute.'
Black & White Thinking
Human beings have a need to categorize everything; this is not a fault but rather an asset. Without our ability to take isolated instances, gather them together in groups, and make generalizations, we wouldn't have math, language, or even the ability for coherent thought. Without an ability to generalize from the specific to the abstract, you...
Excess Verbiage
This is less a flaw in the reasoning process than a flaw in the argument or deliberation process. Just because too many words have been expended on explaining an idea or position doesn't mean that there is either anything wrong with the conclusion or with the process which led a person to that conclusion. It is, however, a barrier to communicating these ideas to others.
Unskilled and Unaware: Overconfidence in Self-Assessment
Being mistaken about something is not by itself a flaw in a person's reasoning process, and neither is being unskilled when it comes to constructing and analyzing logical arguments. However, the worse a person is at such tasks, the less likely they are to realize it, the more likely they are to overestimate their abilities, and the less likely...
Bias and Vested Interest: Interpreting Facts Unreasonably
An important thing to watch for in arguments - both our own and those offered by others - is the influence of bias or vested interest. Both are variations on the same sort of problem, although there are differences that require mentioning each separately. Bias occurs any time that facts are interpreted in a way that unreasonably favors one position over another; vested interest is a cause of bias in which one will personally and specifically benefit if people adopt a particular position.
Subjective Validation: Seeing Patterns & Connections That Aren't There
Subjective Validation is also sometimes called the 'personal validation effect' because it refers to a process by which people accept some claim or phenomenon as valid based solely upon a few personal experiences and/or subjective perception.
Propaganda and Persuasion: Misuse of Language and Meaning
When most people think of propaganda, they tend to think of the posters and songs created by or with the aid of a government during wartime, yet the truth of the matter is that propaganda has a much broader application. It refers not only to efforts by a government to get people to adopt certain beliefs or attitudes, but it can also be applied...
Self-Deception: Sometimes We Mislead Even Ourselves
If deception is the process of misleading others in order to get them to accept something as true even when it is false, then self-deception is the process of misleading yourself so that you will accept something as true even when you should acknowledge that it is false.
Economy with the Truth: Selectively Withholding Embarrassing Evidence - Flaws...
Everyone wants to be right - this is a truism which hardly seems to need repeating, but it is a vital motive which does need to be addressed. Our participation in debates and discussions is often predicated upon this motive - we want to learn what is right, we want to convince others that we are right, and/or we we want to get others to believe...
Confirmation Bias: Selective Use of Evidence to Support Our Beliefs
Confirmation bias occurs when we selectively notice or focus upon evidence which tends to support the things we already believe or want to be true while ignoring that evidence which would serve to disconfirm those beliefs or ideas. Confirmation bias plays a stronger role when it comes to those beliefs which are based upon prejudice, faith, or...
Avoiding the Question: Not Answering Challenges to a Claim
When trying to make a case for some idea, we encounter questions which challenge the coherency or validity of that position. When we are able to adequately answer those questions, our position becomes stronger. When we cannot answer the questions, then our position is weaker. If, however, we avoid the question altogether, then our reasoning process is revealed as weak.
Anecdotal Evidence & Testimonials: Lack of Independent Confirmation
Whenever we offer an empirical claim as true, we are expected to support that claim with evidence - pieces of information which, when taken together, tend to point to the truth of our claim. Evidence which proves our claim is best, but not absolutely required.
Wishful Thinking & Rationalization
It seems unlikely that, for anyone alive today, the world is exactly the way they wish it would be in every detail. Because there is discordance between what is the case and what we wish the case would be, we all engage at some point in time in wishful thinking: the desire that our situation be something other than it really is.
Vagueness: Inhibiting Communication Through Lack of Precision
Generally speaking, the best arguments also tend to be the more precise arguments. Precision in arguments is an important step in making them more coherent and more comprehensible. Precision means that both the arguer and the listener are able to develop a better grasp of what the argument says and means. It follows that vagueness in an enemy of...
Sophistry: Deliberately Flawed and Fallacious Arguments
An argument which appears to be quite valid but is in reality invalid is one which suffers from any of a number of fallacies or other flaws. We should expect to see this sort of thing because most people do not reason very well and no one reasons perfectly. Fallacious arguments, then, are natural - but what is not so natural is to offer fallacious and flawed arguments deliberately.
Repetition: Argumentum Ad Nauseam
Sometimes, people seem to think that the more they repeat an idea, the more likely it is that someone else will believe it. In other words, they are trying to convince people of something not based upon reasons or evidence, but instead upon sheer repetition. But why do some think that such a tactic will work?
Pedantry: Details at the Expense of Substance
Very often, debates become embroiled over what appear to be very minor issues. Sometimes this may be appropriate and sometimes it may not - when it is not, there is a strong possibility that no further productivity will occur in the discussion. When someone moves a discussion into an inappropriate and unproductive focus on minor issues, he can be accused of pedantry.
Why People Are Irrational about Politics (and Religion)
How can people agree that rationality is important but ignore rationality when it comes to important beliefs? The answer has to do different types of rationality: epistemic rationality vs. instrumental rationality.

Cook: Bass Pro Development heats up
The Bass Pro Shops in Denham Springs is becoming what the developer Jacob Fa-Kouri envisioned when he began the project several years ago. Not only is the commercial area anchored by Bass Pro, it now has Sam's Club coming later this month. Joe Moore with Re/Max First continues bringing in deals for the project, with his latest being the sale of a one-acre parcel on Bass Pro Boulevard directly behind Back Yard Burgers. On June 1, Fa-Kouri sold the one-acre site to S.L. Shaw Properties LLC and Mitch Rotolo for a total price of $807,602, or about $18 per square foot. The new owners intend to develop a 10,000-square-foot center on the site. Moore has already leased most of the space prior to construction. The new center will have a Rotolo's Pizzaria restaurant along with a national cell-phone retailer and yogurt shop. "We have had strong interest in the development in recent months after we improved the master plan and marketed the property more aggressively. Recent traffic counts show that over 22,000 cars per day exit on Range Boulevard at the Bass Pro area, and the visibility is excellent so demand has been strong," Moore says. A groundbreaking will take place Wednesday.

CATEGORIES ReviewsLet's face facts, the post-apocalypse doesn't look much fun, does it? This certainly seems to be the case in director John Hillcoat's, The Road, adapted from Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer prize-winning novel. Starring Viggo Mortensen, there's awards buzz surrounding the film, but does it deserve such acclaim.
See what we thought of The Road now...
The Road (15)
Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Robert Duvall, Charlize Theron
Director: John Hillcoat
Film Length: 112 minutes
What¹s it all about? Cormac McCarthy¹s novels have had mixed fortunes in their translation to the big screen. Billy Bob Thornton had a bumpy ride wrestling with western All The Pretty Horses, although those privileged to see his original three-hour cut say it¹s much more powerful than the chopped-down version eventually released by the Harvey Weinstein-era Miramax. The Coen brothers¹ No Country For Old Men memorably cleaned up at the Oscars in 2008. Now director John Hillcoat (The Proposition) and screenwriter Joe Penhall (Enduring Love) take on McCarthy¹s most revered book of all. In a post-apocalyptic world, an unnamed man (Mortensen) and his son (Smit-McPhee) trudge through a desolate landscape searching for food, warmth and shelter.
What¹s good about it? Full credit to Hillcoat and his production team for their wide-screen visualisation of the dying planet, strewn with ash and charred vegetation. Especially if you haven¹t read The Road, the depiction of this bleak world where the only rule of law is the gun, and the weak are turned into sex slaves or eaten packs a powerful punch. McCarthy¹s vision of societal breakdown is entirely credible and quietly devastating.
What¹s not so good? In the book, McCarthy created tension with a forensic focus on the man and boy¹s possessions. The loss of a tarpaulin or a can of food was felt so keenly because you always knew exactly what they had and needed to survive. Hillcoat and Penhall didn¹t choose that route, which is fair enough, but they failed to provide an alternative that similarly grips in the moment. A much-contested voiceover the star, director, writer and backers disagreed about whether to have one sets a tone of overly deliberate ³poignance², as does the intrusive score.
So who¹s going to see it? Fans of the book will be curious, and everyone who intended to read it but never did will want to check it out. The Road lands smack in the middle of awards season, but so far isn¹t racking up the nominations that would help sell it to the upscale audience that last year saw, say, The Reader (£5.8m at UK box-office). In other words, it might well struggle.
Rating: 7 out of 10

Judge Fights To Save Comedy Career
February 25, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
SOUTH HACKENSACK, N.J.,(UPI) — The New Jersey Supreme Court is set to hear the case of a judge who was ordered by an ethics board to give up his second career as a stand-up comedian.
Vince Sicari, a municipal judge in South Hackensack, has been performing stand-up comedy for years under the name Vince August, and his gigs have included warming up crowds for Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" and regular appearances on ABC's "Primetime: What Would You Do?" where he portrays many bigoted characters designed to get reactions from unsuspecting members of the public, The (Hackensack) Record reported Monday.
The state ethics board told Sicari he would have to give up his second career to keep his position on the bench. The board said Sicari's comedy and acting work could make defendants question his impartiality.
"It seems a bit unusual that a United States Supreme Court justice can appear on the show but a municipal court judge making [$13,000] a year can't warm up the crowd," E. Drew Britcher, Sicari's lawyer, said of his client's work for "The Colbert Report."
Britcher said Sicari would not speak publicly on the matter as the litigation is pending.
The New Jersey Supreme Court is set to hear the case Tuesday.

An Old Chicago Slaughterhouse Transforms Into A Futuristic Vertical Farm
The Plant
Oh, and did we mention that it used to be a meatpacking factory and slaughterhouse?
With a five-person staff and over 1,500 volunteers, these environmental warriors have started transforming the Peer Foods meatpacking building into the paradigm of green food production.
The facility has a vegetable farm, a tilapia farm, a beer brewery, a commercial kitchen and Kombucha brewery, all of which have been entered into a symbiotic relationship so that all waste is reused to the benefit of The Facility.
The Plant will also bring in around 125 new jobs.
The Plant will not be complete until around 2017, but already in just a couple years the site has come a remarkably long way from its meatpacking roots.

New law gives North Carolina public college students the right to a lawyer in campus courts
Posted Aug 27, 2013 5:59 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Students at public colleges in North Carolina generally have the right to a lawyer in campus disciplinary proceedings under a new law signed by the governor on Friday.
The law (PDF) says students in disciplinary hearings have the right to representation, by lawyers hired at the students' expense or by nonlawyer advocates, report Inside Higher Ed and the Washington Free Beacon. There are two exceptions where there is no right to a lawyer—when the campus court is a student honor court fully staffed by students, or when the allegation concerns academic dishonesty.
The law is believed to be the first of its kind, Inside Higher Ed reports. Previously lawyers were allowed to attend disciplinary hearings, but only in an advisory role.
Campus officials who disagree with the law say disciplinary hearings aren't the same as court hearings. There is a finding of responsibility rather than guilt, the penalty in the most serious cases is only suspension or expulsion, and the goal is to teach good citizenship rather than punishment.
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education had supported the law. FIRE senior vice president Robert Shibley says the law will help level the paying field. "Students across America are regularly tried in campus courts for serious offenses like theft, harassment, and even rape," he said in a press release. "Being labeled a felon and kicked out by your college carries serious, life-altering consequences." He elaborated in an editorial published by the Herald-Sun.
Shibley wrote that many students are unwittingly giving up their Fifth Amendment rights by testifying in campus proceedings, and the disciplinary findings can affect their ability to get an education and find a job.

St. Just in Roseland Tourist Information
St. Just In Roseland has an exquisite 13th century Church set above the tidal creek of the Percuil River. The beautiful Churchyard, which slopes down steeply from the road, is luxuriantly planted like a sub-tropical garden, with many species rare in England.
The path from the road to the Church is lined with granite blocks carved with quotations and verses taken from the Bible. Because the slope is so steep, as you stand at the lych-gate on the road, looking down to the Church, you find you are looking down on the Church Tower.

Definition: A neoplasm is an abnormal growth of tissue caused by the rapid division of cells that have experienced some type of genetic transformation or mutation into sets of cells with identical genetic make-up (mitosis).
These rogue cells, called neoplastic cells, do not behave and are not controlled like normal cells. They live longer and divide faster. These growths can be pre-malignant, malignant or benign.

Favorite Find Friday: Paintbox Manicure
Written on August 8, 2014 at 9:00 am , by Molly Ritterbeck
This past Sunday, I competed in the New York City Triathlon (you can read all about it here) and though the race itself was awesome, it required a ton of preparation leading up to it. Aside from the weeks of training, I had to make sure I had all the right gear (because let's be honest—when you look the part, you feel more confident). So in the final weeks, I grabbed some race day essentials: a Zoot wetsuit and Speedo goggles for the swim in the Hudson river, a Timex water-resistant watch to keep tabs on my pace, a cute and colorful Specialized #aeroiseverything tri kit for the bike and run legs, a bag of my favorite all-natural hydration mix from Skratch Labs along with four water bottles (I'm a salty sweater!) and—my favorite accessory of my race day look—a Paintbox gel manicure to match my kit! I know, I know, you don't necessarily need a fresh mani before a big race but I've made it a personal tradition because it helps calm my nerves. I went to the high-design nail art studio here in New York City with some friends on a day I was feeling really anxious about the race. Doing something fun and pampering was just what I needed to get my mind off any triathlon-related worries. I opted for gel so it would stay intact through swimming, biking and running, and I brought a picture of my kit so the manicurist could match the colors. My friends and I nicknamed the design my "racing stripes" and honestly, it really pumped me up for the big day. I got a ton of compliments from a few girls in transition so it helped me make some friends, too (always a plus when you're racing solo!). Just like an amazing hair day can give you the confidence to crush a job interview or land a hot date, a cool nail design can actually give you that little extra boost for a big athletic event. So next time you sign up for one, go ahead and treat yourself!

On Thursday, August 7th, I'll be at the Clarins' counter at Saks Fifth Avenue from 12pm-7pm chatting with women just like you! For the past few years, I've participated in Beauty Editor Day and it's always an amazing experience. Whether you want a new makeup look (I'm the master at smoky eyes!), need skin care advice (on zits to wrinkles) or just want to ask me your burning beauty questions, book a 20-minute appointment here. Participants get a cool free gift but even more exciting, the proceeds from your $30 session go toward Look Good Feel Better, a charity that helps cancer patients regain confidence during and after treatment. Post-consultation, you'll look gorgeous and feel great, I promise. Hope to see you there!

Favorite Find Friday: SwimSpray
Written on July 18, 2014 at 2:51 pm , by Molly Ritterbeck
The past few weeks, I've been training for the New York City Triathlon, which means a lot more time spent in the pool than I'm used to. And though training has reminded me that swimming is one of the best total body workouts, it's also pretty tough on your hair and skin. Not only am I extra dry, I've been walking around smelling like a pool all day—ick. So I tested out SwimSpray ($15, swimspray.com), an 100% natural vitamin C spray that neutralizes the odor of chlorine on your hair, skin and suit. After swimming, simply rinse off, spritz the solution on the chlorine-smelling areas (I spray it in my hair and over my skin before jumping in the shower and on my bathing suit before washing it) and then shampoo or wash as usual. Since the formula is all natural (made up of just vitamin C and water) it's great for kids and the convenient spray bottle packaging allows you to spritz the little ones even when they're squirming all over in their suits. I would thank the makers for helping me deal with that unmistakable chlorine stank, but honestly—I think my cube neighbors are more grateful!

Big News for Breakouts: Dial Launches New Acne-Fighting Line
Written on July 15, 2014 at 9:25 am , by Molly Ritterbeck
We all know Dial as a classic hand soap brand, accompanying sinks for years. Personally, we love their body washes and lotions (like the Frozen Yogurt Body Wash and 7-Day Moisturizing Lotion), but now—they're breaking into the acne business with three new products clinically proven to give you clearer-looking skin in just three days. The new Acne Control line features a dermatologist-developed formula with two-percent salicylic acid, which helps slough away excess oil and dead skin to prevent breakouts. It's available in three forms: a face wash, body wash and body and face bar, so whether you're seeing pimples pop up on your face or struggling with bacne, there's an option for you. The best part–everything is under $7 and available at mass retailers so you can get your hands on it (and get clearer skin) fast! We're going to toss one in our gym bag to help prevent breakouts from tough sweat-sessions at the gym!

Favorite Find Friday: Band-Aid Our Veteran Heroes
Written on July 4, 2014 at 9:00 am , by Molly Ritterbeck
Independence day is a once-a-year opportunity to celebrate our freedom and enjoy time spent with family and friends. But we would never have that freedom if it weren't for the brave men and women who serve in our military. When this holiday rolls around, I'm always looking for ways to sport some red, white and blue and I was excited when the Band-Aid Our Veteran Heroes Adhesive Bandages ($3, drugstore.com) came across my desk. These fun band-aids feature patriotic stars and stripes and military-inspired designs like camo (so fun for kids!). But the best part is: Band-Aid is partnering with Team Red, White & Blue, an organization that helps enrich the lives of American's veterans by connecting them to their communities through physical and social activities and will donate 5% of the purchase price to a charity supporting vets. When you pick up a box of these, you can feel good knowing you're contributing to a great cause. So for any scratch, scrape or cut that happens over this holiday weekend, slap on one of these to show your support and have a safe July 4th!

Download This: A New App Lets You Try On Makeup Before You Buy!
Written on July 2, 2014 at 1:51 pm , by Molly Ritterbeck
Bold lip and eye looks can intimidate even us makeup junkies. How do you know if that fuchsia lipstick you saw your coworker applying in the bathroom will look as chic on you? L'Oréal Paris is finally putting an end to the makeup-purchasing guessing game! Introducing the first-ever virtual makeup tester app Makeup Genius (available to download for free here). This app allows you to test out L'Oréal Paris products before you buy them and experiment with full-faced beauty looks you've been dying to try. Makeup Genius transforms your smartphone's front-facing camera into a virtual mirror that allows you to see what the products would look like on. But this is not like the virtual makeup tools of the past where things look wonky and don't quite line up. This is a first-of-its-kind augmented reality tool that captures head movements, tracks facial points and examines skin texture for exact feature display in order to get a perfectly accurate read of your face. (Honestly, you have to see it to believe it!) The steps are simple: just scan your face, choose a product or a look offered in the catalogue (you can scan L'Oréal products while at the store, too!) and begin testing out your personalized makeup look. I was able to sit on my couch in sweats and try on dozens of lipsticks, eye shadow palettes and foundations without having to venture into the overwhelming beauty aisles at the drugstore or the somewhat terrifying makeup counters for some new finds. Amazingly, all of the makeup applied virtually moved with my face, in real time as if it had been expertly applied and I was looking in a mirror. I was able see how the colors looked with various facial expressions and in different lighting. After finding a look you love, you can buy your desired product directly through the app, making your beauty shopping hassle-free. So for all you crazy busy beauty addicts out there, your new look can now be tried, tested and purchased all from the comfort of your couch! Now that's genius!
Check out these fun pics of me playing with the app:

Favorite Find Friday: St. Tropez Gradual Tan Everyday Body Lotion
Written on June 20, 2014 at 9:00 am , by Molly Ritterbeck
Anyone who knows me, knows I am a huge fan of St. Tropez self-tanning products. This obsession started at a young age when I read about the amazing bronz-ability of their self-tanner in a magazine and begged my mom to buy me a starter kit on eBay (!). Ever since, I've been hooked. Their spray tan formula is one of the best, drying in just 60 seconds! (You can find salons that use it here). I often turn to the Self-Tan Bronzing Mousse ($32, ulta.com) for weddings. It's so easy to apply and the color develops into a rich brown tone, never orange. But lately, I've fallen in love with the St. Tropez Gradual Tan Everyday Body Lotion ($30, ulta.com). Usually, I apply this after I shower to give my naturally pale skin a healthy glow all summer. But I also use it to prolong the results of a spray tan. I usually get sprayed before a beach vacation but after several days of swimming, showering and shaving, my color starts to fade and I don't want to bother with a full self-tanning routine (I'm on vacation, after all!). So I stash this in my bag and apply it everyday as my body lotion. Not only does it keep my color looking fresh and my skin radiant, it also hydrates for a baby soft feel. Forget the bronze, that's gold medal level to me!

Favorite Find Friday: Dr. Jart+ Water Fuse Beauty Balm SPF 25 PA++
Written on June 13, 2014 at 9:00 am , by Molly Ritterbeck
I've been upfront about my love affair with full-coverage foundations and powders on the blog (see: here and here), so when the BB cream craze blew up, I really wasn't that interested. BBs, which stand for beauty balms, are like a one-step, does-it-all miracle worker for your skin. While offering universally flattering sheer coverage and SPF protection, most also boast hydration, antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients. This all sounds amazing, except for the fact that they lack the full-coverage I prefer. I never found one I could make an exception for until I tried Dr. Jart+ Water Fuse Beauty Balm SPF 25 PA++ ($34, sephora.com). It's like a huge glass of H2O for your skin in a tube. The moisturizing formula has a unique water bead technology that hydrates and maintains healthy moisture levels throughout the day, resulting in a dewy, fresh look. People have actually been asking me what I'm using on my skin! It glides on smooth (you can literally just swipe it on with your fingers!) and has SPF 25 for added protection from the sun. The coverage is sheer but I use it on the weekends when I just want to even out my complexion without piling on makeup. It's made up of 50 percent water and actually has a cooling effect when applied so it's great for neutralizing redness after a workout. I'm hooked!

Father's Day Gifts Your Dad Will Totally Love
Written on June 11, 2014 at 2:17 pm , by Molly Ritterbeck
Beauty—er, grooming—products probably aren't the first things that come to mind when hunting down the perfect gift for your dad, but since men rarely buy these goods for themselves (after all, there's no grooming aisle at Home Depot), they make amazing presents. So spoil him with these foolproof Father's Day finds. No matter what type of guy he is, we have something he'll totally gush over.
The Role Model: What little boy doesn't want to be just like his dad? Create an Instagram-worthy moment for father and son to share by getting him Harry's Father-Son Shave Set ($30, harrys.com). This kit contains a limited edition three-blade Winston razor for the big guy, a toy razor for the little guy and a how-to picture book so they can "shave" side by side. Too cute for words!
The Jetsetter: Whether he's flying from one business meeting to the next or driving to see different clients, this on-the-go dad might run into some snags along the way. Keep him prepared for anything with the Pinch Minimergency Kit for Him ($13, pinchprovisions.com). So small, it can be stashed in a carry-on or glove compartment and includes 13 must-haves: lip balm, dental floss, breath freshener, stain remover, mending kit, safety pin, extra buttons, shoe shine towelette, nail clipper, hand-sanitizing towelette, deodorant towelette, adhesive bandage, and pain reliever.
The Classic: This guy is simple but he cares about his skin and he doesn't like all the girly stuff his wife uses. Stock him up with a dopp kit—grab the new PC4MEN Complete Skincare Kit ($98, PC4MEN.com), which includes complexion-perfecting essentials (face wash, shave gel, after-shave, sunscreen and night cream) that are free of fragrance and irritating ingredients so he can always put his best face forward. Bonus: he gets to keep the preppy travel bag, too!
The Man's Man: Beer, bacon and the great outdoors. Sound like your guy? Give him a little taste of his favorite things with a Yankee Candle Man Candle ($28 each, yankeecandle.com). Allow him to escape in his man cave with scents like On Tap (the cool, golden smell of a freshly poured draft) MMM Bacon! (the mouth-watering aroma of sizzling meat) and Camouflage (a natural woodsy fragrance that'll transport him to the wilderness).
The Gym Warrior: This guy makes pancakes in the morning, reads bedtime stories at night and yet he still finds time to fit in a sweat session every dang day. Turn his quick locker room shower into a spa-like experience that invigorates the senses with Organix Citrus Mint 3 in 1 Shampoo + Conditioner + Body Wash ($7, drugstore.com). The three-in-one formula saves him space in his gym bag and has citrus extracts to stimulate his hair and skin and refreshing spearmint and peppermint oils to re-energize after a hard workout.
The Sophisticate: Sleek and suave, smart and stylish—what man doesn't want to be just like Bond, James Bond? He's every guy's favorite spy and now you can help your favorite father unleash his sense of sly adventure with the James Bond Quantum 007 Fragrance ($40, kohls.com). The fiercely masculine scent has a mix of earthy moss and a touch of lavender while notes of British crisp apple and sandalwood give it a modern twist. Offer him a spritz and then follow it up with a martini—shaken not stirred, of course.

Karina Smirnoff: How She Stays So Fit Plus Her Best Beauty Secrets
Written on June 4, 2014 at 12:10 pm , by Molly Ritterbeck
Photos Courtesy of Karina Smirnoff
As a pro dancer on ABC's hit show, Dancing with the Stars, Karina Smirnoff is an expert on two of our favorite things: fitness and beauty. As she prances around the dance floor making a fast-paced foxtrot look easy, she's glammed out in full hair, makeup and of course, bronzer from head-to-toe. We recently grabbed a few minutes with the Ukrainian stunner to chat about how she stays camera-ready through tough routines and how she likes to stay fit off the dance floor.
You have to keep your skin camera-ready through sweaty performances. What's your skincare routine like?
"Yes, the sweat is not only mine, it's usually your partner's too! It's definitely not the most glamorous part of the show but in the very first season of DWTS, my skin actually started breaking out pretty badly because you have heavy makeup on for hours, especially on the day of the show. We get our makeup done at six, seven or eight in the morning and we don't go live until five p.m. and then comes touch-ups, where they put more and more on you. So my skin was breaking out really badly. But you find a way to keep it healthy and clean and right now, I'm obsessed with the Apothederm Acne Clarifying Treatment ($33, apothederm.com). I use it two to three times a week during the season and it keeps the blemishes away. I always wash my skin when I'm off the air and try to take off all the makeup. I use an exfoliant or the Clarisonic brush (prices vary, clarisonic.com), which is amazing because all you do is hold it to your skin and it does the job. There are different types of cleansers that have some parabens in them but Apothederm doesn't and it's incredible. It lifts all of the makeup off of your skin. And if you use it with the Clarisonic, which you don't have do it every day but maybe once or twice a week, it gets out everything from inside the pores as well. I love when you have time off and you can use a mask and sometimes, I even make my own mask when I go to a sauna. I mix salt with honey and use it as an exfoliant on my skin but its also very moisturizing because of the honey."
You wear some pretty intricate hairstyles on the show. Do you have any tips for keeping them in place during such active performances?
"Yes, besides hairpins and bobby pins, they have these little metal clips with teeth (similar here: L. Erickson Mini Mini Metal Jaw 8-Pack, $18, franceluxe.com) and they are the size of your pinky nail and they hold onto your hair so well to keep it in place. And not to mention, the excessive amount of hairspray! I can't go out to places that have live fire just for the sake of catching my hair on fire!"
Everyone on the show is so bronzed! What is the self-tanning routine like?
"We get spray tanned on Sundays for the show during the season with a great company called South Seas Tanning, which gets you darker but it doesn't get you nearly as dark as what we actually look like on the show. So there are different bronzers that I mix to create my own concoction for the body and you put it on and it dries so it doesn't get on your clothes. It gives you that shimmery, glowing skin. I mix Rimmel Sunshimmer Instant Tan (available in the UK, boots.com) with South Seas Beach Bling Shimmer Lotion ($18, southseas.com), that's the one that keeps it dry and then I add LORAC TANtalizer Body Bronzing Luminizer ($32, loraccosmetics.com). I mix it all in my hands. I wear gloves because it's easier and you don't have to wash your hands after and then you just put it all over! I love to look tan. But the funny part is I never spray tan my face, I only spray tan my body so you kind of have the floating head when the face is pale against the rest of the body, but I don't want to clog my pores."
The show is so glamorous but on a day when you're not feeling your best, what's one beauty move you do to boost your confidence?
"Oh, well, I always believe that a great pair of heels and mascara is all a girl needs to feel sexy!"
What's your favorite mascara?
"I really like the new Blinc Mascara ($26, sephora.com). It's not like a normal mascara. This one has an ingredient [tube-technology] so when you wash it off, you don't get raccoon eyes. It gets soft and just comes right off like gel. I also like Marc Jacobs Gel Definition Mascara ($26, sephora.com) and Stila mascaras ($22 each, stilacosmetics.com). L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Power Volume 24H Mascara ($8, lorealparisusa.com) is great, too. It makes your eyelashes look twice as long!"
So when you're not dancing, how do you like to stay in shape? What are your favorite workouts?
"I do everything, from martial arts to Krav Maga, to yoga to jogging, running, hiking. I like to spice it up and keep it different every time because I get bored really fast. And the ADD doesn't help that either! So I try to do different stuff every time but to me, the best workout is dancing. That's why I have the DanceFIT-KS. It's a dance-inspired workout because it's moves that dancers use to keep in shape and no matter how often you do it, your body never gets used to it because you never use the same muscles twice. We do dance camps, too and we take it to different hotels in the summer. It's a win-win situation, with the travel, the amazing vacations, you get to work out, stay in shape, meet new people."
Do you have any favorite snacks that you like to fuel up with before a workout or performance?
"I do but when you perform and dance you don't want to feel full. Me, personally, when I eat, all I want to do is sit on the couch with the remote control. I get into the couch potato mode. And when I dance I don't want to feel hungry but I want to feel light and alert. So I try to snack on things like pineapple or watermelon because they're diuretic and go right through your system. I eat nuts a lot, like walnuts because they are a brain food and we could all use a little brain food! Sometimes I even do dried cranberries because they are a great source of energy. And you can never go wrong with dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is a divine food."

text: Fresh Uses for Building ProductsBy Claire Easley A new year is a time for both fresh beginnings and taking inventory of old favorites worth holding onto. In that spirit, we at Builder took a look back at some of the most innovative uses we've seen for tried-and-true products over the past year, as well as some new products that meet old needs. From solving long-endured structural challenges to providing design elements that ring familiar but come with an unexpected twist, these ideas are well worth carrying into the new year and beyond.Concrete MixFor builders aiming to achieve the modernist look of recast concrete but also want to avoid the hefty price tag, Viroc—a composite board made from wood chips and cement—offers a great alternative. The product resists fire, humidity, and fungus, and is low-maintenance and durable. "It's attractive, smooth, sustainable, and a fraction of the cost of cast concrete," Janet Bloomberg, a principal at Washington, D.C. –based KUBE Architecture told Builder. KUBE has used the product for a variety of applications ranging from stair landings to flooring to outfitting entire rooms. "I once made a decision on site to use it on every surface in a dining room," Bloomberg said. Photos: Peter Kerze PhotographyFarm FreshThe farm house may be one of American architecture's most beloved forms, but the style is also known for its drawbacks. "Old wood-framed and fieldstone foundation farm houses were notoriously drafty, as they were built from available lumber by frugal, self-taught, do-it-all farmers," says architect Mark Larson, a principal with Rehkamp Larson Architects, based in Minneapolis. Fortunately, today's building products allow builders to eliminate many of the ills found in the classic design. When building a weekend home for a Midwestern family, Rehkamp Larson Architects adopted the farmhouse form but used SIPs for the walls and roof, which allowed them to achieve almost no thermal bridging while easily allowing for the classic punched windows. Photos: Nathan WebbPushing TinTin has long graced the ceilings of Victorian homes, so when Winchester, Va.– based Reader & Swartz Architects were challenged with converting a four-unit structure from the 1800s into a two-unit building, they decided to reinvent the classic material for modern design. The team incorporated galvanized steel sheets on the exterior as an infill panel wall. Inside, pressed tin-plated panels serve as a sleek kitchen backsplash.Claire Easley is a senior editor at Builder. This article is a compilation of stories by products expert Nigel F. Maynard.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This route sits just left of the Doggfather and yet offers a very different style of climbing. Whereas the Doggfather requires power and control with a V5 crux, Beyond is just sustained crimping with no individual move harder than V3 or V4 but lots of them, one after the other until you are spent. Begin off the ground and do a few techie V1/V2 crimp moves to gain a system of interconnecting rails and flat holds veering slightly left until you have an ok rest. Rest up here, clip and move back right through a reachy sidepull then fire through a wild series of sustained crimps clipping periodically as you go. Eventually you get to a big jug, then a small roof at which point you can rest pretty good before doing a final V2- move just below the chains. Your arms should feel like silly putty on the RP burn.
Just left of the Doggfather.

Environmental Protection:
Opportunities to Recover Funds Obligated for Completed Superfund Projects
T-RCED-97-127: Published: Apr 8, 1997. Publicly Released: Apr 8, 1997.
(202) 512-4907
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) efforts to recover funds obligated for completed Superfund projects, focusing on the: (1) total amount of unspent obligated funds remaining on completed contract work orders and assistance agreements and the EPA offices and regions primarily responsible for administering these funds; and (2) timeliness of EPA's recovery of such funds.
GAO noted that: (1) as of December 1996, about $249 million in unspent obligated funds was potentially available to be recovered on over 6,000 completed work orders and assistance agreements; (2) EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response and its regional offices located in Atlanta, New York, and Philadelphia administer most of the funds; (3) in the early 1990s, EPA recognized the need to take more timely action to recover unspent funds; (4) however, according to the agency's Inspector General, EPA's offices responsible for managing contracts and assistance agreements were not provided sufficient resources to do so, while carrying out their other responsibilities; (5) consequently, in 1994, EPA created the Superfund Deobligation Task Force to respond to a growing backlog of completed work orders and assistance agreements, and the associated unspent funds; (6) since fiscal year 1994, the task force has recovered over $400 million; and (7) however, the task force is not keeping up with a growing backlog of completed work orders and assistance agreements because it is composed of part-time members who perform these activities only when their primary job responsibilities enable them to do so.
Status Legend:
- Review Pending
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendation for Executive Action
Recommendation: To recover unspent funds on inactive Superfund contract work orders and assistance agreements, the Administrator, EPA, should develop a strategy for identifying, deobligating, and recovering unspent funds within the period specified for contracts by the Federal Acquisition Regulation, and for assistance agreements by EPA's Final Closeout Policy for Assistance Agreements.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: EPA has taken the action necessary to successfully implement the recommendation, including the development of an Annual Deobligation Guidance Document that outlines the policy and procedures for recovering unspent funds, as well as decertification priorities for each year.

Protestant theologian, Matias Preisweik, of the Ecumenical Higher Institute has proposed that Bolivia abandon its Christian roots and return to its Andean religion.
During his remarks at a forum entitled, "The State, Religion, and the New Political Constitution," which brought together various religious leaders, Preisweik questioned if, "in this moment of re-appreciation of things Andean, is there not the dream of having a country ruled by the values of its own ancestral and holistic religiosity?"
Although Catholicism is not the official religion, Preisweik stated, the Church "is recognized as the tutelary institution, like the Armed Forces, but in religious matters," and, "it portrays itself as a superior force that intercedes for Bolivians before the Kingdom of God."
He said religious institutions should distant themselves from the State so that secularism can be implemented and so they don't influence legal issues such as abortion.
In response, Archbishop Edmundo Abastoflor of La Paz recalled that the Church does not exercise or hold any political power and that her members live the vocation of service through educational and social works, in benefit of those in need.
The forum took place amidst a national debate over whether accept a proposal to remove religious instruction from schools. The proposal will come before the National Assembly for a vote on August 6th.
