So. I've been gone all day today, and I came home to a bunch of super sweet messages from people who read my Four Months fics the past couple of days. There are some words I wrote about this under the cut.
Thank you. All of you. The people who read my stuff, and reblog my stuff, and like my stuff, and take the time to send comments. Thank you, very sincerely, from the bottom of my heart. I've noticed that a lot of people in the past week or so have been writing these sort of posts in which they thank Glee for changing their lives in some way, or talk about how great the fandom has been, or what they learnt the past year and change in this fandom. The thing is, I don't have one of those stories. I knew who I was, I have a girlfriend, I didn't see something in Santana or Brittany that I'd been afraid of accepting in myself. That's not to say I don't identify with certain characteristics or elements of the storyline, because why else would I be here, right? But I didn't have the same formative experience as other members of this fandom. But I think that's okay. We all respond to things in different ways. We all have individual experiences. Just because I didn't have that hurt locker moment along with Santana doesn't mean I don't have anything.
The thing I do have, as you may have gathered, is my fic. Before I got involved with this fandom I had tiptoed around in other fandoms writing little bits of stuff, not with any degree of skill but just because I still had that stupid childish 'I wanna write stuff' dream floating in the back of my head, that had kind of existed in some form or other since the first time I got lost in a really good book as a kid and forgot to come out again when the other kids wanted to go play outside at recess.
I'm quiet, and dorky, and shy, and words and books help me make connections I can't always make in other situations because my brain doesn't always work the way it's supposed to for whatever reason. And the thing is until now I've always written in a vacuum, maybe showing stuff to my girlfriend (although mostly not) and hiding it in the back of a drawer somewhere, or on a folder on my computer. I think I was supposed to stay in the vacuum, because really the point of those childish dreams is you put them away with the toys you had as a kid and grow up.
Until fandom dragged me out of the vacuum.
It wasn't always good when I started, and sometimes I look back at those fics I wrote a year ago and think how awful they are or what I'd do differently, or whatever, but people left comments. People said they liked what I did. People had feelings, and made connections, and it started to feel pretty good being out of the vacuum.
Look, I hold no illusions about great artistic skill, or there being some kind of merit to what I do. I write fanfiction about characters that I care about infinitely more than the show ever will, and I do it to plug gaps and fix flaws and because it helps me work things through and make sense of the things I see on my tv every week. That said, I think I've gotten better at it over the last year, and that's partly because of an engagement with fandom, the wonderful writers I've met and read, the friends I've made, who make me want to be better and inspire me all at the same time.
The point of this, the part where I started, was thank you. I talked earlier about making connections, and coming home to find people in my ask commenting on my fic. The thing they all said was that this fic made them cry, and I know we talk about creys a lot in this fandom, and that we're a pretty hysterical bunch, but even if only half of them were true—fuck, if only one of them were true—it means that in something I wrote I made a connection, which is all I have ever wanted since I was that kid who wouldn't put the book down to go play outside. And that is worth everything in the world to me.
The one thing that this year gave me, besides a kind of confidence in my basic writing level that I have never really been aware of having for any other skill, is the feeling that something I did had the same kind of resonances somewhere, for someone, that things I have read had for me. It makes me think that maybe I can write that novel, or maybe this isn't just me shouting into a vacuum and scribbling stupid things that don't make sense to anyone but me. I think I learnt how to communicate better. I think I learnt how to write better. I think I learnt how to just be better, on a much more general level than I can really express.
I don't really know the point of this, or where it's going, but I had to try and write something to explain why every single comment I ever get means the world to me, only if it's just a fucking smiley face and nothing else. Everyone else is saying thank you, and being a better person, and on some level this is really insignificant compared to all of that and the kind of stories you find from people in this fandom, but.
I like words and I write words and I connect through words.
Thank you for connecting to mine.

Blue Jeans Energy Drink, which is imported from the Netherlands, is one of those products that appears to have had zero modifications (aside from an English and FDA compliant label) from its original European format. The formulation, which has a berry flavor and a strong "energy" aftertaste, also feels like a straight European import. It's neither good or bad – just somewhere in the middle. Same goes for the packaging. Who does "Blue Jeans" appeal to? It's hard to put our finger on the potential customer for this brand. Whoever the intended target is, we definitely feel that something is lost in translation. Unless, of course, this is simply a value product, hoping to catch the consumer seeking the cheapest way to get caffeinated. Overall, it has a decent taste, but we struggle to see the niche for this product.

Too Faced Tinted Beauty Balm! Perfect for the the cruelty-free, no-makeup makeup look! »
I love makeup! I love eyeliner, blush, lipstick, lipgloss, and mascara! It will be a glorious day once I learn how to use false eyelashes. (Dear Cally, can you help me?) The thing I don't like however, are concealers, powders, foundations, the act of contouring; they're all beyond me and I dislike how they feel like a mask on my face. Never mind the fact I walk everywhere, and these things usually just melt right off. Fine, it's also that I just like to roll out of bed and go. Bedhead is still chic, right?
I do like the look of a finished face, though, and that is why I am a fan of tinted moisturizers; I used to use Laura Mercier, but in recent times, that company has gone the route of animal testing as "required by law." What's a would-be low-maintenance vegan to do? Consult my secret weapon, Logical Harmony, of course! Tashina has been forever telling me to try Too Faced Beauty Balm. I love their mascara, so I don't know why I was so hesitant. Just kidding, I know exactly why: It's kind of pricey. It's difficult for me to buy expensive makeup, for fear I won't like it or I'll choose the wrong color.
My favorite vegan mascaras! It took a while to find them, but now we're inseparable.
Long story short, I finally made the big purchase and I love it! I like the soft tint of it, and it's super lightweight on my skin. My vegan moisturizers don't have SPF in them, and so I'm digging the SPF 20. Sometimes I just mix a little in with my day moisturizer. Then I add a little pressed powder, some blush, lipliner, lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, and I'm set! Low maintenance, see?
I was worried about choosing the right color, because even though I'm told I'm pale, I like to believe I have sun-kissed skin all year round. I got the tint one shade darker than the absolute lightest shade, and the tint is perfect! I probably could have even gone a shade darker and been OK, because the color and coverage is not as heavy as a foundation. On the other hand, I may have been in trouble if I'd gone with, say, Beach Glow. That would have been just ridiculous on my end (and something I've done rather recently).
If you are in the market for a new day moisturizer, or a tinted moisturizer with light coverage and an SPF — protecting your skin from sun damage is extremely important! — I recommend the Too Faced Beauty Balm. When I ordered mine directly through the Too Face website, it came with two free samples, which was not too shabby. I don't know if Too Faced does that all the time, but it was a great gesture (i.e., way to get me to buy more products from them).

Breaking news: animal testing may soon be required by law in the US! »
Last night, Tashina Combs posted a devastating piece on Logical Harmony about the possible state of animal testing on beauty products in the United States. The thought of more unnecessary animal testing, of it being required by law on all personal care products, is heartbreaking. The eloquent breakdown of the difficult-to-decipher wording that Logical Harmony provides of The Safe Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Act is extraordinary; again, please check out the blog post here. Tashina also provides tips for what we can do to make our voices heard on this very important issue. She points out that not only will animals be harmed, but also the small vegan businesses that strive so hard to bring us cruelty-free beauty and body products!
No animal testing or ingredients on this counter! Wait, is Tom's of Maine iffy? Do we use Tom's of Maine?
Please, please, please check out Logical Harmony's post on the subject. There is no way I could do her article justice by trying to summarize it, so I'm not going to. However, let's read it, share it, and make ourselves heard! NO to increasing animal testing in the United States! No no no!

Product Review: Own eye cream! »
A little while ago I wrote a review on Odacité skin care, an organic, vegan line that I think is just marvelous! I did, however, take issue with their eye cream; it was a little too heavy for my combination skin. As I was trying to wean myself off a former, non-cruelty free line, I found myself in a dilemma of epic proportions: WHAT DO I DO ABOUT MY DELICATE AND NEEDY EYE AREA?
Enter the mastermind behind Logical Harmony (and my personal vegan beauty and lifestyle guru), Tashina Combs. I tweeted at her in a panic, and she was like "GIRL, I got you! Try Own Lifting Eye Cream!" So I did. I had my mom buy me a tube for my birthday and I've been smitten since. This summer romance is going the distance! (Unlike the one I had involving a human being, but oh well!)
I think Tashina does a great job of reviewing this Own eye cream, so I'll go ahead and direct you over there, as I agree with everything she says about it! I'll add that it's perfect for skin that is a bit on the oily side, as it's quite light, and it's perfect for someone who wants their eye cream to absorb quickly. Own is a San Francisco based company — their products are sold all over the place, including Whole Foods, Ulta, Amazon, and as well as little internet marketplaces all over a quick google search. I am also a fan of the fact it won't cost me an arm and a leg to replace my tube once it runs out (anywhere from $15 - $25, depending on the retailer). I look forward to trying more of their products in the future!
Hey, and while we're on the subject of Logical Harmony beauty reviews, check out her "October Empties" video. I love this concept — people show off their empty cosmetics, describe them, and tell the viewer whether they'd buy them again or not. So, a vegan doing one? SOLD! (Vitamin E as eye make-up remover? Who knew?)
I'm always on the hunt for new, cruelty-free, beauty products to try, so please, let me know your favorites!

The Vegansaurus Top 15 vegan celebrities! »
LA Weekly just posted their top 10 vegan celebrities, which got me wondering why they should have all the fun. As many of you pointed out, a few of those celebs aren't even vegan anymore (Alec and Olivia, I'm looking at you.) So … drum roll, please … we at Vegansaurus have put together our own top 10 list, only it contains 15 of our favorite vegan celebs! What do you think? Does this make you love us more? Hate us? Feel nothing? Ha! I bet you can't stop reading anyway!
In no particular order (I'm very sensitive myself and do not want these beautiful specimens of veganism to feel jilted), I present you with…THE VEGANSAURUS TOP 15 VEGAN CELEBRITIES!
The first two are the winners of a little poll we conducted around the first of year, asking you about your favorite vegan musicians. You guys went totally bonkers for
1. Moby! This guy has been vegan for what feels like forever, which roughly translates to about 18 years. He's co-owned a vegan cafe and co-written a book, all the while working as a recording artist, hot dang! I went to a BBQ he hosted at SXSW last year, which was pretty fantastic, and maybe one of my favorite meals from 2011. Keep doing you, Moby; keep doing you.
2. Ted Leo! Now, don't get upset, but I don't know much about this guy. That doesn't matter, however, because you, our lovely readers, LOVE this guy. You couldn't hold back your devotion in our poll! Please, feel free to school me about Ted Leo in the comments, I will not mind. According to this interview, he loves Millennium (holla!). Maybe us S.F.-dwellers will run into him there. Jealous?
And now for our picks:
3. Bill Clinton! Need I say more? The Vegan Fox (formerly Slick Willy, right?) is on Team Vegan, hurrah!
4. Fiona Apple! Angst sounds so sweet mixed with a vegan diet. My Tumblr and Twitter feeds are still filled with people going nuts about her new album, and that dropped like four months ago! Has anyone seen one of her epic onstage meltdowns? I'm not hating—I have epic meltdowns every day of my life, as witnessed by my friends, family, roommates and co-workers.
5. Alicia Silverstone. She videotaped herself feeding her kid like a goddamn bird, which grossed out pretty much everyone who saw it. I still shudder, thinking about it. In other news, she loves Food For Lovers queso, wrote a pretty awesome vegan lifestyle book, and STARRED IN CLUELESS (not to mention those Aerosmith videos).
6. Woody Harrelson. Raw vegans tend to be pretty sexy (hey Sarah E. Brown, I'm winking at YOU), and he especially did not disappoint while kicking undead ass in the movie Zombieland! Looks like he even got his hands on some vegan Twinkies for a scene in said movie. HEY WOODY, I MAKE THOSE FOR A LIVING!
7. Tony Kanal, the bassist for No Doubt! This one's for me and my girl Tashina, the biggest No Doubt fans you may ever meet. Don't hate, celebrate! Gwen Stefani was just photographed leaving a vegan restaurant in L.A.; maybe that was Tony's influence? (Though I hear Gavin's a longtime vegetarian.)
8. Joaquin Phoenix! He narrated Earthlings! He's totally crazy (by which I mean a crazy-talented actor)! Isa Chandra Moskowitz has made eggrolls for him!
9. Emily Deschanel! She's so beautiful and articulate, and her penetrating stare scares the shit out of me! She weathered a vegan pregnancy AND LIVED TO TALK ABOUT IT! Take that, everyone who says it's not possible! Ha!
10. Scott Jurek, because vegan athletes/authors are superstars! Read all about Rachel's love for Scott here! To quote the post, "Scott Jurek could basically kick your ass any day of the week, including days where he hasn't slept the night before, has a broken ankle, and already ran 75 miles." Dang.
11. Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres! They are so great about making veganism look fun and accessible. There is so much to love about this superstar couple and the work they do for animals. Too bad about the restaurant deal falling through, but yay for vegan dog food!
12. Erykah Badu! She's every vegan jazz musician's No. 1 crush, or maybe that's just my old roommate Jeremy. Remember when she busted onto the scene with "On and On" then sent everyone into a flurry with her video for "Window Seat"? This "Queen of Neo-Soul" is truly an inspiration when it comes to forward thinking politics and raising her vegan family!
13. Alanis Morisette! I had a co-worker at the Chicago Diner who thought the lyrics to You Oughta Know were "… and the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me". HA! Now you'll always sing that, instead of the right words, JUST LIKE ME! It's a curse I bestow on you. Also, Alanis is quite lovely, and wasn't she great on Weeds? Oh yes, and of course You Can't Do That on Television!
14. Russell Simmons! Man, do you follow this guy on Twitter? He's like a guru for people who don't believe in gurus (me)! And seriously, wasn't the best part of Kimora Lee Simmons' show when he came on and moderated the crazy? Our Megan is always covering Russell's vegan moves here on Vegansaurus, so I'll just direct you to one of my favorite posts of hers, also featuring Martha Stewart! Keep giving us your vegan recipes, Russell! Keep giving us your wisdom!
15. Thom Yorke! OBVIOUSLY, right?! Most everyone's favorite band has been Radiohead at some point, hasn't it? He ate at Café Gratitude once, when I was working in the Central Kitchen of Scandal. Everyone went nuts, as to be expected. I'm never around when the celebs come to the restaurants I work at and it's not fair, because I just love them so much! Actually, scratch that—M.C. Hammer came into Source recently (and I didn't recognize him without his signature pants).
Honorable Mention:
Brad Pitt! I was shocked to find out he's vegan. On second thought, it made sense. He would just quietly be vegan, helping to rebuild New Orleans, raising a family, and avoiding Jennifer Aniston's rabid fan base of haters.

Burmese Tragedy
Burmese Tragedy
When Burma negotiated its political independence from Britain in 1947 there was finally hope that the Burmese could have both freedom and economic prosperity. But it was not to be. The Burmese revolutionary hero, Aung San, was assassinated even before the official independence day, and years of fragile democracy and civil war culminated in the army taking control in 1962, with General Ne Win creating a kind of hermit kingdom, isolating Burma from the world.
The recent devasting cyclone in Burma that left as many as 100,000 dead in the Irawaddy Delta is only the latest Burmese tragedy. There have been glimmers of hope in the past, especially in 1990, when a rare democratic election was won by the National League for Democracy. The NLD was led by Aung San Suu Kyi, daughter of Aung San. Though she was prohibited from standing for election, the NLD won over 80% of the parliamentary seats. But the generals refused to recognize the election results and have kept Aung San Suu Kyi under almost continuous house arrest ever since.
The international community has struggled to find a way to help the Burmese people. Even much of the humanitarian aid for the victims of Cyclone Nargis has been refused by the paranoid Burmese junta. Economic sanctions have failed, since Burma's vast natural resources are eagerly consumed by China. Recent attempts to prevent the importation of Burmese gemstones into the USA and the European Union may make the west feel like they are taking action, but this only serves to further limit the livelihood of ordinary Burmese. With the protection of China, Burma can withstand any international pressure.
The situation in Burma is indeed tragic, and it is hard to see much cause for hope in the latest catastrophe. But sometimes tragic events have positive outcomes. It has happened before. India's aid to Pakistan after the 2005 earthquake helped to bring the two archrivals closer together. The same happened in 1999 when Greece was the first country to come to Turkey's aid after a devastating earthquake, leading to a breakthrough in once-hostile relations between the two countries. The Burmese generals are now being forced to open the doors to accept international aid for their suffering people. But the generals have also demonstrated their utter callousness to their own citizens, including younger member of the military. It will not be forgotten. In a country that recognizes the power of karma, the generals may well have sealed their own fate.

Rare and Unusual Gems
The demand for fine tanzanite continues to exceed demand. Nonetheless, much of the tanzanite in the market is mediocre: small in size, uninspring in color and indifferently cut. It wouldn't be so bad if tanzanite weren't so expensive.
Here is one of the finest pieces of tanzanite we've been able to buy in the last year. At an impressive 5 carats, this stone has a deeply saturated violet blue, the most desirable tanzanite color. The portuguese cut maximizes its brilliance. But what makes this piece especially rare is that it is graded IF -- internally flawless.
For more information about tanzanite see our Tanzanite Information Page.

Regulation concerning data protection continues to be a priority in light of the challenges posed by the use of new technologies, and the need to safeguard personal data.
In Europe, the European Commission (EC) has outlined its proposals for a comprehensive reform of European data protection rules to increase users' control of their data and to cut costs for businesses. Proposed changes include mandatory appointment of a Data Protection Officer, the introduction of a right to be forgotten and fines of up to two percent of global turnover for companies that breach the rules. The legislation is divided into a Directive and a Regulation. The Regulation addresses rules around the processing and free movement of data by firms, whilst the Directive focuses on the processing of personal data by competent authorities for the purposes of the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences.
In the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has been given the power to fine companies in breach of data privacy rules up to £500 000. Additionally, in May 2011 ICO published a Code of Practice concerning data sharing within the UK. The code covers both routine and one-off instances of data sharing. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) recently announced a partnership with 26 major organisations, which will work with the Government to develop midata, which will give customers greater access to their personal data. This follows a speech by the deputy commissioner of ICO, David Smith, in June 2011, in which he stressed the need for banks to provide customers with better access to information held on them.

Scotch Single Malt - Islay - 2013
International Wine & Spirit Competition
Insider knowledge: Bowmore Tempest 10 Year Old - Batch 4 whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Bowmore Tempest 10 Year Old - Batch 4 whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Nose: Vanilla, citrus and gentle sea breeze. Sweet oak and a hint of anise.
Palate: Warming with nutmeg, sweet toasty spices and a little smoke.
Finish: All the elements hang on, citrus, vanilla, sea air, pepper and gentle smoke. Perhaps the best part.
Overall: Another wonderful bourbon aged Islay dram from Bowmore, but this time we seem to be in the eye of the storm rather than the crashing waves of the tempest.
Was "forced" to buy this bottle after having a dram at the distillery. I wasn't planning on buying a Bowmore but this changed my mind. A brilliant Islay whisky.

Often times meeting stress has little to do with the actual meeting and much to do with the little details required to be ready and on time for it. Panic can arise when you realize you can't find the location address or you're circling the area trying to find a place to park or you realize you never took a moment to find the document you need to review. Fortunately, there's an amazingly simple solution to eliminating much of your pre-meeting stress. It's a smart calendar app called Tempo that acts as your personal business assistant providing everything you need, right when you need it.

Are you worried about the amount of sleep you get at night? And do you feel your sleep patterns are having a negative effect on your working life? Don't worry. It's possible to rid yourself of bad habits and increase your productivity and efficiency levels at the same time. You Are Sleeping Too Much We all know we're supposed to sleep eight hours a night if we're going to be healthy, wealthy and wise. Don't we? Recent studies on sleep deprivation appear to tell us differently. For some reason, we still cling to the old myths and worry about a perceived lack of sleep and the effect on our waking hours. According to a study by the Scripps Clinic Sleep Center in...Read More
Earlier this year, Dan Pink shared in one of his newsletters about how he uses text expanders to dramatically reduce the amount of time he spends replying to e-mail. I'm not the most tech-savvy person, but the idea of having short abbreviations for frequently typed text appealed to me. So I started using a text expander this summer and was AMAZED at how easy it was to use and how much easier it made responding to frequently asked questions. As I often do when I find something to be of great benefit, I started telling everyone who would listen (even some who wouldn't!) about it. But I found that few people were giving text expanders a try because they either...Read More

Last week, I shared about making more professional connections. But once you've met new people, the whole idea of keeping in touch can fill you with a sense of dread, guilt or fear if you don't have the right strategies in place. To help you out, here are 8 Tips on Effectively Keeping in Touch: 1. Remember that you don't need to keep in touch with everyone. It's OK to sort through business cards at the end of a networking event and to decide who to follow up with for further discussion. 2. You don't need to keep in touch with everyone on the same frequency. It's good to have a few people that you connect with more regularly, but...Read More

It is not until we look fear in the face that we really start living.
I am going to start aiming to drink a liter of water a day. With warmer weather coming I want to make sure I don't get dehydrated.
I want to flip tires! Something about them just makes me tingle all over inside
Getting an oddly satisfying feeling from chipping at my nail polish right now
Life is too short not to do things that make you happy. Worry about the person who matters most and that person is yourself. The people who truly care and really matter will still be there at the end of the day. Those who aren't? It's their loss. There are plenty of people in the world waiting for their first chance so don't hold on to the people who don't want to be in your life or respect you enough when you were in their life. Do what you want to do. Live for you and no one else.
I finally got my kipping motion down!! I can kip 3 pull ups in a row because I was finally able to get all the movements to flow. Of course like the first time I kipped sloppily and got my chin over the bar by mistake is the same way I got this move down. It was an accident but an accident I appreciate it lol. Also, I can do 5 strict pull ups from a dead hang!! OH YEA! The aim is for 10 by the end of March.
I was talking to a crossfit newbie. She just recently joined and today was her 4th or 5th class. She's a cute little thing with so many questions and concerns, comparing herself to the rest of us who have been doing crossfit for months in a sense of worrying she'll never get on our level. I had a great talk with her and I was so honored when she told me I was the reason she signed up. It was so sweet to hear her saying I inspired her to join the box. I told her the best advice I could give her was not to compare herself to the rest of us because crossfit is so individualized and something that may be easy for her might be hard for me and in due time once she learned all the movements and kept with her training she'll be more than proud of her progress. Feels good to know I move people even while I'm busy focusing on myself.
No prob! Thanks for asking its actually not really coming along I keep fluctuating between 105-110 have yet to ever break 110 ugh but I'm still trying lol. One day! = )
I think today I will start on the 1000 pull ups in a week for the 1000 Rep Club. I did 1000 push ups in 5 days = ) Let's see about these pull ups.
Anytime! I love their crop pants…soooooo comfy! Perfect for crossfit = )
Hey thanks for the tip. This is actually my moms recipe and her cooking, when I cook for myself I stick to paleo but there's always a good cheat meal ready if I want it in my house lol
Today's WOD:
5 rounds of:
5 deadlifts
5 hang power cleans
5 push press
5 back squats
We were supposed to increase our weight after each round but my shoulder was acting up so I did 45lbs for my first round and then 50lbs for my second round and and the rest. The purpose was to transition into all these lifts and do the whole round unbroken. I did all 5 rounds unbroken with a few minutes rest in between each round.
Post WOD I decided to work on some stuff so I worked on my push press and back squat.
1 rep max push press 65lbs-PR
1 rep max back squat 105lbs-PR and Body Weight

"This magazine is so awesome! After I learned about the Venus Project and the Magazine, I completely changed my view of the world and myself. I appreciate, which others also say, that the Project and the Magazine has pulled me out of deep depression in an unbelievable short amount of time. No Pill or Doctor could have "healed" me better from my detrimental views than the Venus Project! Thank you!"
"The magazine is very rich in content, including links to sources, videos, graphics etc. that satisfy even the most demanding reader and with wonderfully varying subjects/themes in each number. The only magazine I read from cover to cover every time + I love the fact that you store it, so I don't have to – allowing me to go back to older issues if and when I so desire."
"Insightful articles…keep up the Great work! Thx"
"I absolutely love these publications as this truly provides some of the best material to show people everyday that this is a real option as I have heard many time that this is just a "pyramid scheme" or some excuse as shallow as this as they try to reduce the message into something less than it truly is but instead you provide examples and content that are just pointing out the blatant dishonesty we let happen every day because we forgot to continue to progress after the 19 century. Thank you!"
"I just want to say a billion thank you's!! Every article is extremely well written and exciting and thought provoking. I have such hope for the future! Keep doing the great work and I'll keep sharing everything."
"The contents are variable and rich. I like the links so you read on more if a subject interests you a bit over the average, The graphical content is great and gives you a better connection to what you are reading about. Keep up the super work you all have been doing. All the love."
"Very complete jewel"
"Love the articles you publish, you mention very key points without offending anyone's cultural background, which is key to communication in the world we living. Great work, you guys rock!"
"TVPMagazine, Venus project, always and forever. I wish freedom and my gratitude for all of you my brothers and sisters."
"Very progressive, informative and inspiring. Thank you all for everything being done to one day bring paradise to Earth."

I've run across this (and similar) phrases a few times in the past few minutes. This particular turn of phrase comes from Alemseged, et. al. "A juvenile early hominin skeleton from Dikika, Ethipa." Nature 443:296-301. It peppers the paper, but here's the abstract:
One has to wonder if Alemseged, et. al. think that they somehow count as doing better science if they can use more words to say something that can be said quite simply in ordinary English. I suspect that too many evolutionary anthropologists write like this all the time. Why? Because they want to make it impossible for the average layman to read anything they have to say? Because they think redundant bombastic, declamatory, fustian sesquepedelian grandiloquence is a virtue? Stop it. Please! And this is actually one of the more comprehensible passages. Here's what that linguistic abomination means in plain English:
This is what they should have said. Not that "evidence provides evidence". Not that that there is "a tree-climbing locomotive component in the hominid's locomotive repertoire". Where else would that locomotive component be? In the masticative repertoire? Is it possible that the literature over in paleoanthropology is so perverse that they do have to distinguish arboreal components of masticative repertoires from the same components of locomotive repertories because they wouldn't be writing a publishable scientific paper if they said that the damned monkey ate tree leaves?


text: How HBO plans to keep its hits rolling qz.com Jason Lynch: HBO is bringing three dramas to a close over the next several months: True Blood, Boardwalk Empire and The Newsroom. "We think the right thing is to end with creative integrity so that the viewer and creator feels satisfied," said Lombardo, who admitted that HBO made "a mistake" in canceling Deadwood after three seasons, before the story's natural end, which angered viewers. The cancellation of Deadwood was a major (rare) mistake for HBO. Here's hoping they still do a movie to conclude the series one day… I remain intrigued by how they're going to handle the Game of Thrones situation. There's no way the books are done before the television series is. Unless they decide to take a few years off, as they do with Curb Your Enthusiasm — a very different show, obviously. Or, if they do a movie to conclude the show as well… television hbo game of thrones deadwood

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A Jefferson County Circuit Court judge has sentenced an Irondale man to nearly 300 years in prison for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
Charles Tyson Hall was sentenced earlier this week and an indictment stemming from a separate attack charges him with rape, sodomy and sexual torture.
Prosecutors have said 26-year-old Hall of Irondale attacked the girl as she walked home from a school event. Authorities say Hall dragged the girl to a wooded area and threatened to kill her if she didn't cooperate. He stole her wallet and fled the scene.
AL.com reports Hall was identified as the girl's attacker a year later when DNA evidence from another assault matched evidence being stored in a state database.

The woman suing Michael Jordan for paternity and child support -- claiming he fathered her 16-year-old son -- has dismissed her case against the NBA star ... but he might not be out of the woods yet.
TMZ has learned Pamela Smith has filed legal documents in Georgia asking the judge to dismiss her case against MJ -- and her request was granted without prejudice (meaning she can refile at a later time if she wants to).
It's unclear why Pamela wanted the case dismissed -- considering she had recently asked the court to order a DNA test ASAP.
It's possible MJ and Pamela reached some sort of settlement ... or agreed to halt legal action while they try to work things out. It's also possible she simply decided to walk away thinking she would lose in court. We simply don't know.
Either way, MJ has succeeded in taking the situation out of the public eye ... at least for now.
Pamela's attorney Randy Kessler tells TMZ ... she dropped the case on his advice that "dismissal at this time, without prejudice, is in her son's best interests."
probably paid off or harassed legal action against her in some ways....but damn i wanted to see the DNA test. is he the father or not?
I once beat MJ in a game of PIG. It was easy.
Pay the $ and move on.
Life is good.
It's something supremely sucky about a man willing to pay to insure it's never proven he's the father of a child. But then I don't put anything past this man.
So now the woman's lawyer is tell the truth. He found out that the lady is lying and convinced her to drop the suit. Shame on all of you for believing that mj paid a dime.
Lets not forget about his stillborn baby
WTF is wrong with the whites of his eyes?
It was in the best interest of the teen and his mom that they not be found out to be a liars.
I don't see how it is in her son's best interest to stay in the shadows and not be recognized by his famous father. Money is not everything!
Donating sperm can be expensive to some
In other words, the DNA results are in. Take it away Maury..... Maury: YOU, Michael Jordan, are NOT the father.
Now we can go through this court process and it will cost you money, or you can look at these results and just cancel the whole thing.
Ta da.
Michael is currently unmarried. He is a former pro athlete. No one would give a damn if some unknown kid popped up at this point. If he was married for 20 years, then yes, it would be hushed up. But the case was dropped because the kid is not his. No payoff needed.
Very simple just check back with Pamela in a few weeks, And if you see any plasma and furnitures getting move in along with a NEW car ...well there is your ANSWER.Jordan network is over half billion ,Nothing like pitching some crumbs in hopes to have a headache go away.
I have watched you Michael for every game of your career, when you did not play for a couple of years i did not watch b ball. Then I flipped the channel on and you were wearing 45 it was on again. But the shot you took at Labron and the class that he had in handling it, also kobe's cheap shot at the end of the play full all star game. I'm afraid you wrongfully made that comment! Its kind of Kobe making a comment to another Laker that you do not have enough accolades to speak to me! Both of you need to get real. Personally I think Labrons stats are equal to yours, hes not just a shooter like you and kobe, he can play all positions. Guard center etc. Sorry mike I like you both don't disappoint your fans. Say something unfair and it can take you down a level and I would not want that for you.
Doesnt anyone know that there was already a DNA test done YEARS ago. Yes, he did have one done when his wife found out he had cheated with this childs mother. The test was 99% positive he was not the father of this boy. Remember Keanu Reeves had the same problem. Crazy chick sued him 4 times for child support and everytime the tests came back that he was not the father. Some people are so sick that they believe their own lies.

Cartoonist Bob Flynn interviewed about his tools and process
Submitted by natebramble on August 11, 2009 - 07:48
If you're an art geek, like me, then you'll enjoy the site The Tools Artists Use. It's a web site run by Bill Turner and the site features a series of interviews with artists about the specific equipment and materials the artists use to create their work. A recent post interviews the amazingly skilled cartoonist and illustrator Bob Flynn.
Here's an excerpt from the interview:
When I'm in the studio, I typically draw with 2B pencils, but any old pencil will do for doodling. I sometimes draw with a non-photo blue pencil when I'm really trying to work something out in a study. If I'm inking on paper, I prefer nibs to brushes, though I'm trying to transition to brushes by working with brush pens. I find the Pentel Pocket Brush Pen particularly fun to use.

Liars - No.1 Against The Rush (Vince Clarke Remix)
Electro legend Vince Clarke (he was in Depeche Mode, Yazoo & Erasure - if you don't know him, then read more) has remixes a Liars tune from their upcoming album.
I didn't know what to expect from him in a modern solo form, and sat through the intro beats waiting - but then when the bass kicks in, and then the acid lines and then he puts in the vocal perfectly. Then the incidental synths and marimbas, building to a final guitar section. It's the work of someone who knows the production of electronic music and lovely to know that a legend hasn't lost it.

Topics: Health Costs, Health Disparities, Insurance, Medicare, Politics
Nov 05, 2009
The President Should Be Opposed To The House Bill Kaiser Health News When Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled the revised House Democratic health care bill last week, the Obama White House hailed it as a "critical milestone" in the process. No doubt senior administration officials were relieved to see signs of "momentum" toward passage of something. But if the president really meant what he has said about health care policy throughout this year, his administration would be working to defeat the Pelosi bill, not supporting it (James Capretta). Back To The Future For A Public Option The St. Louis Post-Dispatch While nonprofit Blues made money by enrolling more people, for-profit companies found they could make more by excluding people who were more likely to become sick (11/5). Prescriptions For Disaster New York Post Don't buy the claim that the Senate health-care bill is substantially more moderate than the House measure (Benjamin E. Sasse & Jeffrey H. Anderson, 11/5). Unhealthy America The New York Times An African-American in New Orleans has a shorter life expectancy than the average person in Vietnam or Honduras (Nicholas D. Kristof, 11/4). GOP Ducks Role As 'Party Of Yes' On Health Reform Roll Call Late in the game, Republicans are proposing alternatives to Democratic health care reform, but they're certainly not being bold (Morton M. Kondracke, 11/5). Fixing Healthcare: Primary Care Is Job No. 1 Los Angeles Times Access to insurance … does not necessarily mean access to healthcare. What is also needed is a sufficient supply of primary-care doctors (Basim Kahn, 11/5). Fear Of Health 'Reform' Is Warranted The San Diego Union-Tribune Consider the president's basic promises about his health overhaul: that it actually would save money, that the only new taxes would be on the very wealthy and that individuals would be free to keep their present coverage and doctors. Each of these claims is a myth (11/5).
Medicare And The Hidden Health Care Crisis The Denver Post Next month, sharp cuts in the government's reimbursement rates for certain cardiology services proposed by Medicare will be finalized (Dr. Gary Luckasen, 11/5).

"I ordered these return address labels to coordinate with bridal shower invitations. I was pleased with the understated sophistication and lovely damask design. A definite eye-opener with the dark background."
"These were the perfect address labels and complimented the matching invitations quite well. I am glad I ordered extra because I will be using them to send out my Thank Yous. Really cute and feminine, they are great all on their own."
"Sent these address labels to my mother-in-law as a housewarming gift. They are very pretty and modern. Love them! I increased the size of the font to the largest available and it looked great."
"The address labels are very classy and pretty. I recommend selecting the largest font size... it looks great and is a bit easier to read."

22. Philadelphia Eagles
Player Name: C.J. Mosley
Position, School: Inside linebacker, University of Alabama
The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to seek help at the wide receiver position in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft, but by the time the Eagles have their selection, the first round talent for the wide receiver position is gone. But in a deep draft, someone is bound to fall from projections and in a majority of my mock drafts, that player was the inside linebacker from the University of Alabama, C.J. Mosley.
Mosley is one of the premier linebackers in the draft, and I would not be surprised to find him gone in the top ten. But there are positions with less depth and higher value, so the linebacker from Alabama will find himself heading to Philadelphia. He brings quite a package with him. Scouted as an interior linebacker in a odd front, Mosley is very adaptable and is written as able to play virtually any NFL linebacker position. His football instincts are pure and superior to others in this draft. While he is a good run stopper, he is also incredible in pass defense – in 2012 he recorded two pass breakups and two interceptions while platooning in sub packages. His fundamentals are excellent, as is his work ethic and preparedness. He is competitive, and happy to contribute in his role – making for an outstanding special team contributor.
With the Eagles facing players maturing at a number of key positions, they cannot wait and hope a player falls to them at the instant they have an opening. Mosley will give the Eagles years of solid play.
54. Philadelphia Eagles
Player Name: Ryan Shazier
Position, School: Outside Linebacker, Ohio State University
As teams continue to pour over the depth at quarterback, wide receiver, and line in this draft, the Philadelphia Eagles discover a highly regarded player by the name of Ryan Shazier has, once more, fallen to them in the second round. In seven mock drafts, the outside linebacker from Ohio State University fell to the Eagles four times, and thereby becomes their second round selection in the best player available draft.
Projected as a first rounder (in one mock, he was the best player for the Eagles at 22), Shazier brings ideal fundamentals to the outside linebacker position – explosive acceleration towards the passer, but can retreat, change direction, and accelerate seamlessly. Although he is not ideal in his size, he is extremely productive and is a four down player. He flies around the field and was the Big Ten Conference leading tackler. He will be ideal in a platoon role with the Eagles outside linebackers, eventually earning playing time with his production on an NFL field.
