If you could see yourself, would you see rape?
Sex with someone who doesn't want to is rape.

Hi Anon
I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you.
Being forced or pressured to have sex when you don't want to is rape and it is a crime. Understand that this was not your fault. There was nothing you could have done to prevent this. Try and find someone you trust to talk to before your birthday. If you can't tell your mum, speak to someone else. It could be another relative, a teacher, a close friend, a youth worker or anyone else that you feel comfortable with. It doesn't have to be someone in authority, just someone that you think you can talk to and that you feel comfortable with and trust.
You can also call ChildLine on 0800 1111 to talk about any problem or go to www.childline.org.uk where you can contact ChildLine by email and text, chat to a counsellor online or post to the message boards.
Alternatively you can call National Freephone Rape Helpline to talk to an advisor on 0808 802 9999 7 days a week between 12pm – 2.30pm and 7pm – 9.30pm.
Hi, i've had one near miss and i've also been anally raped by my ex boyfriend, i told him that i didn't want to do it as i didn't feel comfortable but he went ahead and raped me. I'm still suffering the health complications the rape left behind not to mention the emotional scars. Also the near miss was another exReply
This is a fantastic campaign to help highlight the reality of sexual violence; rape is rarely committed by strangers and often by someone known to the victim. I hope this campaign will help young women recognise rape/abuse and to come forward and seek help. I also hope, this advert will act as a mirror to young men, to show the consequences of rape.Reply

When i was 11 i slepted at my friends house and there was just me my friend and her brother in the house .. well my friend went in the bath and i stayed in her room while she was in the bath .. and then there was a knock on her bedroom door and her brother who was 18 at the time came in and closed the door he didnt say anything till he go on the bed he said to me "i like you" i knew at the time that it was wrong for him to like me in that way . Anyways he got on top of me and pushed me down and thats when it happened when he raped me .. in my mind i was screaming out for help but my body just froze but even if i could shout for help it still would of happend. When it was over he got up and left the room . But i just couldnt move my body had shut down i was just laying there feeling as though my childhood had just been taken away from me just like that! I never told my friend what her brother did to me i just couldnt risk our friendship. This is the first time i've ever spoken about this to anyone , now at the age of 14 this is my way of letting some of my feeings out ..& getting help . And maybe one day i will be able to tell my pearents.Reply

I am very sorry this has happened to you. I know how you feel, I had a similar experience when your age, I as you felt too confused and ashamed to talk about it, I know now, after more than 20 years, I could have healed a lot quicker if I had reached out to my mother. Please I urge you to be brave and speak about this to either of your parents, most of all they will tray to help you to get over this. Also, remember that you have done nothing wrong, and so you have nothing to be ashamed of or regret, this was not your fault you were a victim of some one else's illness. Your childhood has not been taken away from you and you can recover from this, but you need the help of your parents, I now have a daughter and if she was in your situation I know I would be the best person to help her.

at the park my bf was being silly and then he pulled down his trousers and pants. thankfully
some mates were with us. then he put hand up my top and undid my bra. i am only 11 so at first it was funny, then when my friends left i did up my bra then i stand up but my bf pulled me back down and i he went to take my top off but i jumped up and i run for my life.
the next day he said that i made him take off HIS top and trousers and i run out offschool crying. i told my mum and she told the scholl.
everthing is better now. my bf is now my ex and he is now in the poilce books.

If anyone forces anybody else to have sex it is rape. It doesn't matter if it's a stranger, boyfriend or husband.

Hi my friend was 15 and was going through a hard time and she ended up sleeping with a 25 year old guy who worked at the gym she went to. He didnt know she was under age, but when he found out he didnt walk away he got into a relationship with her. They moved in together almost a year ago when she was still fifteen. She's still with him and is only sixteen. Would the earlier encounters when she was 15 be classed as rape?Reply
Bec - 30/04/2012
i believe this is called statory rape as she was under the age of consent. if it was proved they had a sexual realationship under the age of 16. he could be proccescuted and b on a sex offender register.

All rape is awful and yet I NEVER see anything about gay Rape. I am gay and have been raped so I can say easily that the support for women far out ways the support for gay men. I feel simply because there is this lack of support I can not tell anyone and I have high anxiety when I see this guy.Reply

I only come on here to give advice, but having a friend who was once raped I know how your girlfriend feels. I think the best thing to do is one day to go to her and if she tries to stop talking and go away hold her, gently of course so she doesn't get worried, but hold her and tell her that her ex-boyfriend was messed up and you love her and you'd never let anyone do that to her because she deserves so much more, and ask her to tell someone because you heal so much more when there's someone to talk to about it

HUNTINGTON, Ind. — Huntington University will dedicate two significant renovation projects during Homecoming & Family Weekend on Oct. 5-6 in honor of those who have been so committed to the university. In 2010, Huntington made renovations to Becker Hall to update the building and to create space to house the digital media arts program. The biggest renovations were to Davis Hall, the third floor of the building, which now supports a film studio with a greenscreen, a stadium-seat theater, faculty offices, editing rooms and an equipment cage. At 10 a.m. Oct. 6, the DMA department will be named the Martin Center for Digital Media Arts in honor of Jerry and Elsie Martin and their support of the recent capital campaign. The ceremony will be held on the third floor of Becker Hall. Over the summer, the university renovated and resurfaced the track and field stadium. At 11:30 a.m. Oct. 6, the stadium will be named the King Track and Field Stadium in honor of longtime HU coach Tom King. The ceremony will be held at the track. King first came to Huntington in 1970 as the dean of men. Over the next four decades, he coached more than 94 All-America Scholar Athletes. His athletes have earned more than 53 All-America honors, including four-time national shot put champion Jim Arnett, two-time national champion John Ngure and national runners-up Danielle Vohs and Jenny Keil. Teams and individuals coached by King have competed at the national level many times. He has also been named MCC Coach of the Year in 32 of the past 44 years.The dedication ceremonies are open to the public.

For those who would like home control, security and automation but can't afford five-figure systems, an affordable, cloud-based home control system called G2i (for Generation 2 Interactive) is being be rolled out.
The system uses wireless technologies and allows mobile control via cloud-based processing that CEO Reed Stevens says will be faster than competing systems by communicating to a cloud server in real time. The system runs on the iControl OpenHome platform that has been utilized by service providers ADT and others to offer similar services.
For a base price of $1,000, plus installation and a monthly fee, buyers will get a light dimmer or plug-in lamp module, three door and window sensors, a motion detector to automatically enact events, a wireless security camera, 7-inch touchscreen and base station. A wireless thermostat and door lock will also be offered. Apps for iPhone, iPad and Android-based devices are also available.
Light switches are from Leviton, the thermostat from RCS Tcehnology, sensors from DSC and the door lock from Yale. The light switches and thermostat communicate via the Z-Wave wireless mesh technology, while the touchscreen and cameras use Wi-Fi and the sensors can use an existing security system platform. Stevens says all the products in the G2i platform have been tested to be compatible and work together.
The G2i system can be used with existing compatible security systems from GE, Honeywell and DSC.
The systems will be offered by a network of custom electronics dealers, under G2i branded divisions of their companies. The divisions will be run as separate arms from their higher-end custom installation businesses, with different staffing, marketing and service.
Custom electronics profession Richard Millson of Vancouver, B.C.-based Millson plans to install G2i systems in $300,000 to $400,000 condos in multiple dwelling unit (MDU) buildings in the Vancouver area.
Stevens is the son of Chris Stevens of iControl and will create a separate G2i arm of his family's custom electronics business, Phoenix Systems in Palo Alto, Calif.

Risk Management Forum: Desperately Seeking Liquidity
Troubled markets drive defensive tactics.
which is our low-cost nuclear generation portfolio. There's a lot of value to that. It's derived from fundamentals in the industry and commodity prices for gas or coal, whatever's on the margin. Focusing on protecting that value, and ensuring reliability in T&D, allows us to provide certainty in earnings.
That's not to say there isn't a new credit environment, and a changing economic environment. It's very volatile and in some measure distressed.
We continue to evaluate the value of what we have and how to assure certainty around that value. We manage commodity prices, the value of the fleet, and obviously electricity fundamentals, which are changing. If you talk to any CRO or leader of a marketing entity or utility executive, they'd give you a different scenario of risk from two years ago or even seven months ago when natural gas prices were above $10 in forward curves. You get new information and change the future outlook.
We're the lowest-cost generator in the stack, so it runs first. If we run it well and keep it on line, which we do well, it will provide value in many scenarios. It's not the same concept for natural gas and some coal plants, and clearly peaking or older steam generation plants.
We're looking at an environment where liquidity isn't the same as it was. Fewer entities in the market are trading commodity products as aggressively as they were. The further out you look in time, the more clearly visible that becomes.
We've gone through these cycles. We've seen trading entities trying to add value as intermediary or some other kind of marketers. We've gone through these cycles before and the market model for electricity is alive and well.
Fortnightly: How has the Wall Street meltdown affected market liquidity, counterparty credit risks, and access to risk-management services from financial firms?
Cornew: Liquidity isn't like it was nine or 12 months ago, but we can still actively participate in the business. Counterparty entities still are out there and are willing to engage. It's somewhat like what we saw post Enron, but I think not even quite that drastic.
We're clearly seeing some pullback from [financial company counterparties]. We're seeing entities that are either not there, or are there at a different level, or are getting in or out of certain elements of our business. Certainly some financial entities have had their issues, and commodity trading gets downsized in their platform. Other entities are entering, especially foreign banks. We're definitely seeing the players are changing.
Our credit requirements always have been very stringent, and they considered the tail risks. We've managed our credit exposure well, and it's well diversified on a counterparty basis. With some entities we're seeing that as their credit outlook changes we have to modify and change with it. But it's not a big impediment for us at this point. In this market Exelon is a sought-after counterparty. Other folks are looking to us.

She's been one 2012's rising stars and now Hunger Games actress Jennifer Lawrence has been voted the 'world's most desirable woman' by AskMen.com. J-Law, who was announced as the face of Dior's handbag range earlier this year, beat off competition from Mila Kunis, Kate Upton, Rihanna and Emma Stone who have all had a phenomenal 12 months of career and style hits. But while we were obsessed by Emma's Spiderman promo wardrobe and Rihanna's 777 tour left us with plenty to talk about, it's Jennifer who has most impressed with her glamorous red carpet gowns, savvy film choices and on screen talent.
The 22-year-old is clearly popular with the boys too, which we imagine has more than a little to do with her killer body, showcased in recent flick Silver Linings Playbook. AskMen.com's editor-in-chief James Bassil revealed "Overall, there's a sense that she's a little more authentic than other actors. She's fresh because we haven't seen her all over the gossip pages for the past three or four years." Jennifer certainly doesn't air her personal business to the press and has kept her relationship with Brit actor Nicholas Hoult, who she's been dating since 2011, firmly under the radar. We'll have to wait until 2014 to see the pair reunited on the big screen in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Not only is Jennifer a favourite with the lads and the fash pack, there are also whispers that the film industry could give her the seal of approval with an Oscar nomination next year. One of her most memorable style moments came in 2011 when the blonde bombshell wore a red Calvin Klein dress to the Academy Awards. J-Law better start working on her Oscar's dress shortlist and acceptance speech for 2013!

3 September 2007 Scottish Enterprise
$1m investment into Scottish nanotechnology centre
Semi Scenic, the Lanarkshire based semi-conductor support specialist, has secured a contract worth more than $1 million dollars to supply essential components to the UK's flagship micro and nanotechnology project based in Scotland.
Semi Scenic has agreed the deal with Semefab (Scotland) Ltd, the Glenrothes semiconductor manufacturer at the forefront of the UK's centre for micro and nano technology (MNT) network. The announcement comes as Semefab plans to further expand its operations and investment in the £15 million UK MNT project. It has acquired a 3000 square metre facility adjacent to its existing premises in Fife which will enable it to roll out the next phase of the project.
Scottish Enterprise has invested £3 million and the Department of Trade and Industry a further £3.6 million in Semefab Ltd to establish a UK centre of excellence in Micro and Nanotechnology processing. The centre provides SME companies with integrated facilities for the process design of prototype MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) devices.
MEMS technology has a variety of uses and is an important component of bio and gas sensors, car air bags and flat screen televisions. Future applications are likely to include the discovery of new drugs, detecting toxic agents in the atmosphere and turning mobile phones into navigation tools more effective than GPS.
Hailed as the first project of its kind in the UK, the facility in Fife offers open access cleanroom space for potential MNT innovations to help secure Scotland's and the UK's position as a leading force in micro technology in the 21st century. By offering open access to high specification design and fabrication facilities, the project aims to speed up the development process and break down barriers to market entry for SMEs within the sector.
Semi Scenic will supply wafer etch tooling for the MEMs applications, a fundamental constituent in developing the overall project. Semefab selected Semi Scenic as a strategic partner due to the company's comprehensive equipment support and commitment to ongoing process development.
Don Nicolson, Managing Director, Semi Scenic, said: "Semi Scenic are absolutely delighted to be given this opportunity by Semefab and this contract is a testimony to our highly skilled workforce as well as our unique business model. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Scottish Enterprise for their invaluable support over the years. It is very encouraging to see this business being concluded between two Scottish companies. We look forward to building on our partnership with Semefab and sharing in their bright future."
Ian McNaught, MEMS Business Manager for Semefab (Scotland) Ltd said: "The dry etch capability is a key component of our MEMS strategy and I am very pleased to be working with a capable and responsive Scottish organisation.
Semi Scenic competed against worldwide competition for this business and I am confident that Semefab (Scotland) shall receive world class service and support.
As we develop future technologies I am looking forward to partnering with Semi Scenic in order to achieve maximum return from our dry etch investment. I believe their flexible approach to process development and support shall complement Semefab's own innovative engineering and development teams. Semefab placed the order under a very tight timeline and I am encouraged that Semi Scenic delivered the first two tools ahead of schedule."
Semi Scenic is an expanding young company based in Scottish Enterprise Technology Park in East Kilbride. It employs a highly skilled workforce, dedicated to providing a first class service to its customers across Europe. Scottish Enterprise Lanarkshire has worked closely with the company and has played an important role in the company's growth. Liz Connolly, senior operations director, Scottish Enterprise Lanarkshire said:
"Securing this contract demonstrates the confidence, drive and ambition of Semi Scenic and I am delighted to share their success. This is a superb example of a small technology company realising its potential and adding great value to Scotland's economy through a strategic partnership with Semefab. Enabling technologies such as micro and nanotechnology is one of Scottish Enterprise's priority industries and its development is key to the future growth of our economy."
The project will ensure Scotland has a leading role to play within the DTI's UK Micro and Nanotechnology Network, which aims to capitalise on the growth opportunities within the global nanotechnology market which is expected to exceed $100 billion over the next ten years.

It's Black Friday every day for sharks swimming in New Zealand waters. So when we realised New Zealand's first-ever Shark Awareness Week included Friday the 13th we thought we'd use it as an opportunity to illustrate that shark finning is still legal in New Zealand waters.

There will be a Lethal Lockdown match at TNA Lockdown 2014 this year. Team Dixie will consists of Ethan Carter, Bobby Roode, James Storm and Rockstar Spud. They will face Team MVP, which will include MVP, Gunner, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards.
After weeks of teasing the move, the James Storm heel turn has finally happened. Impact Wrestling is being taped right now, and the long time TNA star turned on Gunner as he was challenging Brutus Magnus for the world heavyweight championship.
"It's tough, even Hulk Hogan was a tough loss to accept. Sting has been the cornerstone of the company, Jarrett founded the company and I think he might be the best heel in the business, and AJ Styles is just the best athlete I've ever been in the ring with. From three different perspectives it is a tough pill to swallow because they are three of the best. When you don't have them in the company you hope to god that the young talent steps up, guys like Bobby Roode, Austin Aries, and James Storm seem to be stepping up. Will they replace Sting? You can't replace Sting, will they replace AJ? Probably not, AJ is irreplaceable, but will they become their own characters and do really well, yes they will do phenomenally well and it's not about replacing anymore, it's about making new stars."
- Kurt Angle on TNA losing stars recently
Impact Wrestling is being taped in Dublin this week, and James Storm has already landed in Ireland. The longtime TNA star has a heavy schedule of promotional events and media appearances ahead of him. Storm will more than likely be handling the marketing duties in England and Scotland as well.
Some details have emerged about the reality television show that James Storm has been pitching to various Hollywood executives. The show would follow the TNA star as he attempts to open up a brand new bar. Word has it that there are a few studios receptive to the idea.
Another person that TNA wants to push to the main event scene soon is Gunner. Many backstage feel that he can be elevated enough to be viewed as a worthy challenger for Brutus Magnus and the world title. The success of his story line with James Storm should help dictate that.
Since TNA wants Brutus Magnus to have a solid run as the heavyweight champion, the creative department will be lining up some challengers, so he can work memorable feuds. Aside from Samoa Joe, another candidate being discussed is James Storm, who has routinely gotten the best reactions from the live audiences.
James Storm recently revealed in an interview that plans are still in place for him to have his own reality television show. The former TNA World Heavyweight Champion has some more meetings set up in Hollywood later this month to discuss those plans.
"I don't know the situation with the contracts and all that stuff, but you know for me to see a guy that I've been here since day one with is a dark day for TNA because he did help build TNA. Anytime somebody says TNA they automatically think of AJ Styles and the incredible matches he's had while he's been here. Hopefully him and TNA can come to an agreement and he can come back pretty soon."
"It's hard to compare Gunner to either one of those guys just because I was in a tag team with those guys a much longer time. Me and Chris were basically unknowns coming up through the ranks trying to make a name for ourselves and as far as me and Bobby we were already established and we just kind of clicked together. It took us 6-8 months together to finally click but we did and we made a good run out of it. With me and Gunner, it's one of those things that I don't think we've been a tag team long enough to start describing us against my former partners."
"The people. Jeff Jarrett was here a long time, and also (TNA President) Dixie Carter. She's a great boss, very family oriented, and she listens to the wrestlers. We can go to her and talk if we have a problem, which is very cool. TNA was very loyal to me when I had the opportunity to do other things. Honestly, that's above my pay grade, but Dixie Carter always looks after her wrestlers and does what's best for the company. It's not just wrestlers' job, it's hers too."
"I believe Chris brought it onto himself. I talked to him while he was there. Anytime you go up there, they're going to test you, to see if you have an attitude or whatever. And I just heard he failed miserably. He had an attitude while he was up there and you can't do that. You just go up there and you do what they ask of you the best you can, and sooner or later, they'll find a spot for you and do something with you. Just because he had a good run here, he expected to go up there and have a run, and that's not so."
"To me, Jeff knows wrestling. They need somebody like that either in the production side or the creative side . . . because, let's face it, he built this company. It was his hard work and his money that he put into it in the very beginning. I think TNA needs Jeff Jarrett, whether it be behind the scenes or in front of the camera or whatever, but they definitely need him—at least for his advice on the wrestling aspect of it."
"I told him, 'If you guys want to make this as real as possible, is it OK if I just kind of put it in my own words?' And he was like, 'Yeah, whatever you think is going to make it best is what I want you to do.' It's good for a lot of guys who can't come up with their own material to have that script that they can go off of and read the whole thing and memorize it and all that. But for me, I just want bullet points that I can put into my own words and make it me—make it true. People can spot a fake. They know when somebody's trying too hard."
There are talks that TNA could be looking to split Gunner away from James Storm to see if he can become a star as a singles wrestler.
TNA released a video, where Bobby Roode attacked James Storm inside of a bar in Orlando.

- worth it Review by allie
Quality Price Value
I realized that every winter, I have hard red/white bumps all over my back. I worked with me dermatologist and multiple (pricy) remedies to get rid of it. The ONLY thing that works for me is this lotion. Most lotion I buy is under $10.00, so this is pretty expensive for me (I search everywhere and can't find coupons either) but it is SO WORTH IT if you are like me and willing to do anything to get rid of these gross bumps!

- Miracle Review by Kami

KP Duty moisturizing therapy is a miracle in a bottle. I've tried almost all the products out there for KP, and Dermadoctor is still the only product on the market that has helped reduce my stubborn red dots on the back of my arms, thighs and buttocks!
- Dry skin is soft and smooth once again Review by LC (Australia)
Price Value Quality
I have very dry skin and since using this product my dry skin is soft and smoothy once again. I discovered the product on a holiday in dry old Las Vegas and can get three 14oz tubes shipped to Australia for $21 extra. Arrives in about 8 working days.
It would be good if it could be packed in a tub. When I finish tub of scrub, I'll transfer a 14oz tube into it.
- Best for my dry skin Review by Feebe
Price Value Quality
I've had "chicken skin" and dry skin issues my whole life. I use this right after I towel dry and it makes a huge difference in how "bumpy" my skin is. It's kind of pricey for all-over use, but it's not too bad if you only use it on problem areas.
- the one true help for KP Review by Luminosity
Price Value Quality
We've tried many products for my daughter's KP. KP Duty is the one product that has truly helped. We now buy it in the 14 oz size so we save money while saving her skin. Love it!
- Awesome product, worth every penny Review by Beverly S
Price Value Quality
This product works. In the last 2 years my chicken bumps on my upper arms had become horrible. It felt coarse and very bumpy. The red bumps were so bad I quit wearing tank tops. I did some research on my problem and this product was recommended. I was doubtful it would help but tried the product.
It works, bumps are gone, redness spot gone.
- Great Product / Poor Packaging Review by Jessica
Price Value Quality
This KP lotion is fantastic and I have never used anything that even compares. I highly recommend putting it on IMMEDIATELY after getting out of the shower. The wetter your skin is when you put it on, the less you will have to use (while still obtaining the same results). Considering the expense of this product, I find this to be very important. Directions say to put on twice a day. I get best results doing so, but still get great results and save a little money by using KP lotion once a day and using another (much cheaper) AHA lotion from Walmart for the second application. Also, if you are not applying the KP lotion directly out of the shower, I also find it helpful to mix in a little of my cheaper AHA lotion in my hand to help it spread easier over dry skin without having to use extra KP lotion. Overall, five stars for the product itself! When combined with the KP scrub, the KP on my arms improved about 90% and about 60% on my legs after approximately the first two to three weeks. Product recommendation is to use once or twice a week or as tolerated. I now use both the scrub and lotion three times/week (I started with twice a week to gauge my skin toleration first). It may also be helpful to know that I switched from shaving to using depilatory cream, which has also improved my KP quite a bit. I have tried just about every depilatory cream out there, and my favorite is the Nair Shower Clay in the pump bottle.
Now for the packaging. I purchase the 14oz size because it doesn't take long to go through the smaller 4oz size and because you can save a lot of money per ounce buying the bigger one. However, I wish they would put it in a different container. The tube works well for the 4oz size, but in the 14oz version, it is more difficult to get the lotion out the more it gets used. Aside from just this general difficulty, you also have to squeeze really hard to get it out because the opening in the cap is not quite big enough for the thickness of the cream. I would like to see them experiment with some different packaging, but I will continue to purchase this because of the great product and cost savings. Overall, highly recommended!
- Great larger size Review by Donna

I use this fabulous cream on my back of arms and on my elbows and on my feet. This cream really is for dry skin and chicken bumps. I love the larger size as it is a better value. I will never be without this cream.

Today I took the train into the city and headed to Daley Plaza to research Probate and Naturalization records in the Archives Room of the Cook County Clerk of the Circuit Court . I requested several Probate records and now have to wait (patiently) for them to be retrieved from the storage so I can view them. In a week or so I will trek back to the city to view those records. I also got copies of a few Naturalization records.
The one thing I learned about visiting the Archives Room 1113 in Daley Plaza is you must get there at 8:30 when they open. There were only two women working the front of the office and both also answered the phones in addition to helping walk-in customers. It did get busier while I was there and one of the women seemed to get a little testy because there were several of us to assist, but when others cleared out, it was fine. A smile and thank you, repeated several times during the record retrieval process, goes a long way.
After my records searched I hiked to Panera across from the Harold Washington Library to meet Thomas MacEntee of The Connected Genealogist and GeneaBloggers to name a few. We had a very nice chat over coffee and then went across the street to the library. I was even given one of his MEET*MEME Trading Cards! If you haven't seen those on his blog, check them out. Very cool! I may have to get some for myself after seeing his! Thanks for the nice visit Thomas!!
On my way home, just as I was about to get off the train, I got a phone call from a local library about possibly teaching genealogy classes next year. Add that to my to-do list for a return phone call. It was a great day!
5 responses to "Thursday Research Trip"
It was so neat to finally meet you! I had fun and there was lots to chat about. And congrats on the genealogy class – that is on my wish list of opportunities for me this next year!
Hi Jennifer! Silly question:did the library contact you out of the blue, or did you make the first contact? I don't think my local library has genealy classes and trying to decide if I should… eek… see if it's something they'd be interested in. Thank you!
Sounds like fun! I haven't been able to get back down to the Daley Center Archives room since June and I've still got several naturalizations to look for. I haven't ventured into the probate realm there yet. I'd be curious to hear about what you find in them since there are quite a few I could order for myself :) Be sure to let us know when you get them!

Great results but some side effects.

Posted by jakuta on Nov 22, 2009
Purchased at iHerb
I have been taking this product for about two weeks and have noticed many positive effects on my overall health. I've noticed marked improvement in stamina and a sustained level of alertness and energy throughout the day unlike a quick spike then fall with other stimulants like coffee. In addition, I've noticed less water retention (probably due to balancing of hormonal levels) and an increase in sexual virility. Also muscle strength and fatigue seemed to improve after moderate exercise. These results lead me to believe that Maca has a positive effect on testosterone production. For the most part I am pleased with this product's results. However, this product gave me lots of gas and constipation. Not a good sign when introducing a new supplement or food to your diet. I tried decreasing the dosage to half a teaspoon but to no avail. I did a little research and found that the indigenous people of South America who use Maca almost never eat it raw but in some cooked form. A Ha! I then cooked a bit of the Maca powder on the stove with some water and made a sort of paste which I then added to smoothies. I still had some gas and constipation but this seemed to lessen a bit. However, by cooking the powder, it gave the Maca a chemical smell that I found unappealing. So in conclusion, if you have a sensitive digestive system like me you may want to try an extractive form of Maca like I will be doing or add this powder to cooked recipes (i.e cookies, hot cereal). This raw form of Maca has a butterscotch smell and taste to it. *One final note* Refrigeration of this product, although not recommended on the package, might be a good idea. I gave a friend a small amount to try in a Ziploc bag and he informed me that in a few days it had molded and he had to discard it.

This product is a good Maca product, but Maca causes me to have break outs all over my chest. So I had to discontinue taking it. I was hoping it was only the pill version that caused the break outs, but this version did as well. I really enjoy the benefits of Maca for my hormonal issues, but can't deal with the breakouts. Its weird, because it clears my face, but causes breakouts on my body.

Apparently, it works. But the taste....yuck! (unless you like taste of grass) Now I mix it w/ my morning coffee. Not sure if the caffeine would undermine its effect but I really can't drink as it is and I don't have time to make a smoothies especially for it.
good but bitter

Its likely supposed to be bitter, but I"m having trouble eating it in yogurt without a bit of sweetner. May try it with hot water to be a coffee like drink

RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina authorities are accusing a couple of using zip ties to bind their 4-year-old daughter's wrists and ankles to a baby gate.
Raleigh police say 26-year-old Gerald Thomas Swinehart and 28-year-old Marlaine Victoria Coffey are accused of tying the child to a gate with plastic ties normally used by electricians. They also say Swinehart pushed or kicked the girl so hard her lower teeth broke through her lower lip.
Arrest warrants say the abuse occurred earlier this year. The child was taken into the custody of social services March 31.
Swinehart is charged with two counts of intentional child abuse inflicting serious physical injury and is being held under $100,000 bond. Coffey faces one count and is being held under $50,000 bond. It's not known if they have attorneys.

One eyelet broke. When will the next one happen? I have considered returning ths inferior quality product.
The picture shows a really good looking boot. The description calls this a rugged boot but one of the boot eyelets pulled loose as I was initially trying it on. After examining it I can see the leather quality was poor. The picture looked good, the real thing was not good at all. I immediately boxed it up and returned to overstock. Just not a good product at all.
good looking shoe worth every penny. Wish it was available in black.
These boots are comfortable. I do not usually buy synthetic leather boots because they look too shiny, but these boots are great. My friends all think they are pure leather boots. Good buy. Runs big, I am usually a 9 and I got an 8

Obama - Netanyahu: a tricky relationship
Relations seem to be warming up between Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israeli prime minister was at the White House for talks with the US president. After months of tension, the atmosphere was convivial. But despite this show of unity, political differences remain. And on a more personal level, the relationship between the two men is more complicated than with their predecessors.

Editor's Note: This profile of one of our Home of the Year winners originally ran in May of 2012. We're highlighting past winners in anticipation of the May 2013 release of the new Home of the Year winners. You'll want to check back in May, because the new winners are awesome.
What do you expect to see in the smartest home in the country? A ton of technology, right? Our grand prize Home of the Year definitely has that, but it's nearly impossible to see any of it. The Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) speakers that stream music to every corner of this 14,000-square-foot abode blend in with the ceilings. The sensors that monitor the temperature of each room are painted to match the wall surfaces. The keypads and touchpanels that operate the home's lights and audio/ video equipment are virtually nonexistent.
The disappearing act was completely intentional, says Sean Weiner, president of Starr Systems Design, the Baltimore, Md.–based firm that tricked out this award-winning house. The custom electronics (CE) pros at Starr collaborated with the homeowners and the interior designer throughout the six-year-long project to ensure that every piece of technology would fuse seamlessly into the decor, which would showcase artwork and materials from around the globe. One product largely responsible for clearing away the technological clutter was the Apple iPad.
"Six years ago when we started planning the design of the house, iPads weren't around," says the owner. Naturally, at that point, the best option would have been to install several in-wall touchpanels throughout the residence. AMX, the system that was chosen by Weiner to manage the home's lights, A/V equipment, music distribution system, pool and spa controls, surveillance cameras and motorized window shades, offered a variety of sleek in-wall touchpanels that would have served the purpose well. But when the iPad arrived, plans changed.
The early-adopter homeowners jumped at the chance to use their iPads to manage their home's systems. Using AMX's TPControl app, Starr Systems configured the owners' six iPads to function just like any of AMX's home control touchpanels. And Starr Systems left a few of the original AMX touchpanels in places where they felt the owners would benefit from using wall-mounted interfaces (see sidebar).
The iPads have since become the family's de facto interface for managing and controlling their home. An intuitively designed menu presents the owners the key areas of control, like lighting, air conditioning, music, theater and more. From there they can drill down to specific operations for certain devices.
If music is selected from the main menu, the owner can choose where to have it play among the home's 30 listening zones. They can then select which source they'd like to listen to, such as the Sirius radio tuner or an iPod stationed on a Sonance iPort dock.
Lighting is operated the same way: Go to the lighting page, choose the room, select a group of lights to control, then touch a button to tell that group specifically what to do. "We craved simplicity like this," says the homeowner, "because we knew other people besides our family would need to understand immediately how to use the system."
Make no mistake. The iPad may be a convenient tool for operating a large home—and an effective means of keeping walls clear of keypads and touchpanels—but what makes this house tick is the powerful AMX NI-4100 NetLinx controller. It's the brain that ties all of the home's systems together and allows the owners and Starr Systems to easily change, update and add new components as deemed necessary. This ability to adapt was critical to this project, says the owner, as many of the products available today weren't around when the project started six years ago. "Blu-ray players weren't around and neither were iPod docks, so the design was constantly evolving," the homeowner relates.
Even now, after living in the house for a little over a year, the family continues to update the technology. The four Middle Atlantic equipment racks in a dedicated mechanical room in the basement have available space to hold new A/V components, and closets upstairs are wired with HDMI cabling to support additional racks of equipment. "When we initially wired this house in 2008, we weren't sure that the HDMI cabling would be able to transmit audio/video signals as far as we needed them to go, but since then, HDMI transceivers have gotten better, so the infrastructure works, and works well," says Weiner.
Basically, everything in this house works really, really well … and looks good doing it. Nearly four dozen B&W speakers were positioned throughout the residence, evenly blanketing every area with music—without being noticed. The interior designer faux painted the grilles of each speaker to blend in perfectly with the unique texture, coloring and pattern of each ceiling surface. Even the dozen outdoor speakers around the patio and pool received the faux treatment. Several James Loudspeaker units were built into the stonework that surrounds the back side of the swimming pool, then painted to match the masonry so they would go undetected.
The owners discovered that there's yet another effective way to integrate technology into the design of a home. In addition to hiding it or blending it, the technology can be used to complement the decor. Each of the home's Panasonic, Samsung and Runco flatpanel TVs were selected for their decorative appeal. For example, the bezel of the 50-inch Runco display in the family room was custom-finished by the manufacturer to match the magnificent stone hearth. The 55-inch Samsung 3D LED TV in the master bedroom—the rest of the Samsung units are 3D as well—was selected for its mirrored bezel, a look that would reflect the room's modern and airy design. The master suite also received two sets of motorized woven wood blinds. These were customized by Lutron Electronics to hug the shape of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows so that no incoming sunlight would interfere with the image on the TV screen.Facebook and Twitter.

text: I almost forgot, when I was grinding the hodir dailies for the Blowing Hodir's Horn quest I'd dismount way above the giants, fall for a while, then charge in on the nearest mob. It was pretty dumb, and I definitely miscalculated and died a couple times, but it was fun to fall hundreds of yards and take no damage. Death from above.

"An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled-- no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally start living" -- p. [4] of cover.
My book was delivered extremly quick--in perfect shape! This site has always been very realiable to me-i will continue to save money and use this site!!!
I ordered this and compendium 2 for my husband for christmas. When I opened up the box whoever packaged it was careless and folded the box through the cover so the cover was badly torn and the first 50 or so pages bent and torn. Overstock responded promtly and sent a replacement which is now wrapped up and waiting to be put under the tree =] My husband is going to be so happy. The book is a great deal bc its the first 10 graphic novels which sell for about 10 bucks a piece. It has nice glossy pages and a relatively thick cover for being paperback.
Bough it as a Christmas present for my boyfriend :) we watch the season together and I know he is going to love it. I would recommend this to anyone who loves the walking dead
The walking dead is a great series and this is the cheapest way to collect it. I've seen people say it was awkward to read the beginning and end because of how big it is and I was thinking how could it not be and was worried it would be too big but it's actually not awkward to read the beginning pages at all and some how despite how big it is it works. The story itself is great. I love it. It's way different than the show so if you're a fan of the show I recommend this because you're getting a totally different story. There are a few scenes that are the same and a lot of same characters but it also has characters that the show doesn't have as well as the show has characters this doesn't have. Most of the story is different to with just some similar events and locations here in there but again some stuff is here the show doesn't have as well as the show has some stuff this doesn't have. Pick up a copy.
I love the show and couldn't wait till it came back on in the fall and was tired of the library not having the next book in the series so I decided to buy it and found that overstock had the best price of any retailer online or in store. The only bad thing is that it is heavy and is a little awkward to hold while reading at the starting and ending of the book.
