(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Home & Garden/Home Décor/Home Accents
With just the contents of this sturdy steel pail, kids can plant their own Scotch pine Christmas tree.

By planting the seed of her own Christmas tree, a child learns to cultivate more than just a plant; she learns to grow and nurture a Christmas tradition for her whole family. Each kit includes a Scotch pine seed, coconut husks for drainage, growing medium, a reusable steel pail, kid-sized garden gloves, a nametag to personalize, and growing instructions even the littlest tree farmer can follow. Makes a truly special Christmas gift.

Category: Home & Garden/Home Décor/Home Accents
Incense has been part of traditional Christian celebrations for centuries. The twelfth day of Christmas is the festival of Epiphany, on January 6, which celebrates the day that the Magi visited the infant Jesus and presented their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. German Christians often mark the occasion, and the end of the Christmas season, by burning incense in "smokers" or Räuchermänner.

A music box plays "Silent Night." Handcrafted at a 133-year-old family-owned studio in Bethlehem.

It's not just the best-selling electric vehicle. It's not just the best-selling green car. Nope, the Tesla Model S EV managed to hit the top of Norway's list of all vehicle sales in September, Agence France-Presse reports, citing Norwegian research firm Opplysningsraadet for Veitrafikken (OFV).
In raw numbers, it's not a lot of cars. Norwegians bought 616 Tesla sedans last month, meaning that the Tesla EVs accounted for about one in 20 new cars sold. It's a rough comparison, when we look to the US, the four Toyota Prius variants accounted for about one in 70 new cars sold here last month. All told, EVs accounted for almost nine percent of new-vehicle sales in Norway last month, the AFP says, easily outselling hybrids, which accounted for about seven percent of new car sales in Norway.
Tesla's numbers held steady after topping Norway's new-vehicle list for the first half of September, beating out the far more conventional Volkswagen Golf in the process. Tesla has only been selling the Model S in Norway since August and began deploying its network of Superchargers last month, saying at the time that about 90 percent of the country's population lives within a 200-mile radius (or a really fun two-hour drive in a Model S) of a station. We have to wait and see if these high initial sales represent much more than pent up demand that finally gets access to the slick EV. One way to find out will be to compare Model S sales during the first six months it's available with the quite-popular-in-Norway Nissan Leaf EV. We'll let you know around February.

Implementation of Immersive Audio Applications using Robust Adaptive Beamforming and Wave Field Synthesis
An immersive audio system oriented to future communication applications is presented. The aim is to build a system where the acoustic field of a chamber is recorded using a microphone array and then is reconstructed or rendered again, in a different chamber using loudspeaker array based techniques. Our proposal relays on recent robust adaptive beamforming techniques and joint audio-video source localization for effectively estimating the original sources of the emitting room. The estimated source and the source localization information drive a Wave Field Synthesis engine that renders the acoustic field again at the receiving chamber. The overall system performance is tested using a MUSHRA-based subjective test in a real situation.

Going Mental
Stop Subjecting Your Baby To Mozart! (Give Her Drama Lessons Instead)
Listening to Mozart won't make your child a mathematician, but Shakespeare can help make her more social.
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think's contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.
Big Think's Edge learning platform for career mentorship and professional development provides engaging and actionable courses delivered by the people who are shaping our future.
Unlocking the secrets of your brain
Listening to Mozart won't make your child a mathematician, but Shakespeare can help make her more social.
Recent discoveries in the field of neurobiology can tell us much about the causes of the current financial crisis, and how to treat it, says a former UBS exec.
We now have the power to map the brain, peering into the human mind to decode words from silent thoughts. But what will human consciousness look like, if we ever finally catch a glimpse of it? Neuroscientist Joy Hirsch kicks off the debate.
Every Wednesday, Michio Kaku will be answering reader questions about physics and futuristic science. If you have a question for Dr. Kaku, just post it in the comments section below and check back on Wednesdays to see if he answers it.
Big Think's newest blogger and atheist-in-residence, Adam Lee, asks magician and author Penn Jillette how he reconciles his atheism with his libertarian philosophy.
Humans are hardwired to get a pleasure buzz from uncertainty. Neuroscientist David Linden explains how tweeting is like watching the ball spinning in the roulette wheel.
Berkeley scientists say with MRI and computer models they can reconstruct our visual experiences, paving the way to reproduce our mental movies, such as dreams and memories.
Can the way we think actually change the wiring, activation patters, and physical landscape of our brains?
Neuroscience and psychology have identified willpower as essential to success in school and beyond. Like a muscle, it can be developed through exercise, and exhausted through overwork.

text: West Village Newspaper Publisher Slugs State Senator Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 19 Aug 2013 post a comment George Capsis (pictured), the 87-year-old publisher of the West Village's WestView News was not arrested, but he was issued a violation for harassment after he slugged Democrat New York State Senator Brad Hoylman and an activist holding a sign in support of New York City mayoral candidate Christian Quinn. Capsis is upset over hospital closures, which he says the Democrat Quinn hasn't done enough to stop: "My wife died two days ago. She was at a hospital in the Bronx. I had to travel an hour and a half to get to see her," Capsis explained, saying his wife Andromache Capsis died of lung cancer at the age of 87."If this hospital had existed, I could have walked two blocks and spent time with her in the last hours of her life." The blue-on-blue violence occurred at a rally in support of Quinn's record. No word yet on why Capsis smacked Democrat Brad Hoylman. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

Restaurant serves booze to toddler
Updated On: Oct 12 2012 05:27:01 PM EDT
A restaurant in Wales is apologizing after accidentally serving whiskey to a 2-year-old.
Sonny Rees had to be taken to the emergency room after imbibing the booze at his second birthday party at a Frankie and Benny's restaurant in Swansea, BBC News reported.
His mother tasted the boy's drink after he was making funny faces and said he was clearly intoxicated.
Sonny was monitored for a while at the hospital and later given the all clear, The Associated Press reported.
Frankie and Benny's called it a case of human error and told the BBC it was looking at what systems need to be put in place so that something similar doesn't happen again.

X-DCPlusPlus 0.831 [rev12]
The upper side of a portable app
Since this is the portable version of DC++, it means that you are not required to go through the installation process. Aside from that, you should know that the Windows registry and Start menu/screen are not going to suffer any changes, and no leftovers will remain after its removal from the drive.
You should know it is possible to place the program files to an external storage device (e.g. pen drive) and thus, run X-DCPlusPlus on the fly, on any machine you have been granted access to.
Clean interface
The interface you are met with presents a simple and well-organized design, as it encloses a menu bar, several buttons and several tabs displaying various information. Nonetheless, using it further might prove to be a bit challenging to novice users, as some computer knowledge might be requited.
Connect to a public or private hub
As all these types of programs, you should know there is a list of public hubs you can use, yet you are required to input a name, select your Internet connection type and share some files, according to the restriction set by the hub you are trying to connect to.
View statistics and set up configurations
It is possible to connect to any user within a hub and view the items he or she has shared with just a few clicks. Moreover, you can use a search function, so as to look for a specific file or directory, view the download queue, as well as all the finished uploads and downloads.
You have access to network statistics, and from the settings panel you can choose directories to use and impose limits such as maximum number of simultaneous downloads, speed at which to drop sources and time period at which to check items.
To wrap it up, X-DCPlusPlus proves to be an efficient and well-rounded piece of software, dedicated to people interested in downloading and sharing files. Although it may not always be friendly with your system's performance, the response time is good, and the interface is intuitive.

This One's for My Skinny Sisters.
I am a size zero.
I am as active and inactive as anyone else.
There are stretches where I don't use my body and other days where I find myself on my mat twice a day.
My metabolism is on steroids: I burn through sugar faster than a tub of Ben and Jerry's in the hands of a woman watching chick flick re-runs after a break up.
I have never shoved my finger down my throat, or been on a diet.
I have tried to gain weight through certain parts of my life—feeling self conscious of my weight and envious of women with beautiful full hips. I tried protein shakes, lifting weights—but saw little changes in my body weight. I became more muscular and fit, but my thin ass stuck around.
Some days I steam kale and eat like my body is a temple and other days I eat popcorn for dinner. I eat whatever I want, when I want and feel good about it.
I'm just little.
I used a picture of my back for the feature image of my last article "A Take No Shit List For Your Well Being."
A woman commented on the article saying,
"Wouldn't it be even better if the picture were of a person more realistic? This size zero blow dried super tan model just turns me right off the content."
I was the size zero in that photograph.
The day I took the image holding my hands powerfully above me amongst mountain peaks I had hiked 24 kms into a valley in Jasper National Park to camp in the bush. I hadn't showered, I was sweating, I was greasy from bug dope and covered in dirt. Nothing was blow dried or airbrushed. The article was about standing in our power—and in that image I was gloriously basking in my own.
I am also not a model. I am a real breathing woman that walks amongst this earth beside all of you.
Size zeros are real women too. Models, for that matter, are real women to.
I understand that our world might be sick of media shoving glorified, thin, air brushed models down our throats, but is the solution to throw all skinny women under a bus because they don't have hips to hold on to?
We are the reason skinny woman splatter front pages of magazines. So instead of spiting fire at a woman because she gets paid to be photographed or has a Thumbelina waist, why not revolt against the seeds we planted that grew into an existence of a world obsessed with exploiting woman and body image.
In her article "The Beauty Myth," Naomi Wolf reported that, "thirty-three thousand women told American researchers they would rather lose ten to fifteen pounds than achieve any other goal."
Through repeated images of excessively thin women in media, advertisement, and modeling, thinness has become associated with not only beauty, but happiness and success.
From my skinny ass to you: that's horrendous bollocks.
If we want to radically shift our world we need to begin stepping over body image—trivial measurements of our worth and beauty, and relentlessly love ourselves.
"Authentic self-love is crazy sexy, whatever your body looks like." ~ Bryan Reeves
We live in a world where we are quick to judge a women by what the label on her pants say.
A woman's "realness" and divinity has diddly squat to do with her waist size.
I want skinny to stop being idolized by the world and I also want women to stop throwing it under the bus.
I want us to all love our juicy souls and fleshy bodies and ride the bus together free of compare, resent and judgements.
The solution isn't to pass a thin woman on the street and tell her to "eat something."
I have been self conscious of my body for most of my life. I tip toe and refrain from saying it out loud, because people get offended that someone who's "skinny" could struggle with body image.
Yes, "size zeroes" have issues with self acceptance and body image too. You won't automatically be at home in your body when you shrink your waist—that's not how it works.
We all have to love the crap out of ourselves every damn day.
I get flack about my weight all the time. This summer I had a man walk beside me after a delicious, stretchy yoga class as I basked in the sun drinking coffee and remark,
"Jesus, gain some weight."
I have people make jokes at the expense of my size on a weekly basis. When I suggest eating a big ol' greasy burger with poutine at the restaurant I serve at, people scoff and say, "sure, like you eat the likes of those." They laugh, naïve that what they are doing is in fact misplaced and even abusive.
When I was younger, the girls on my volleyball team laughed at my skinny, knobby knees and flat chest. My nickname was "twiggy."
I hated my body.
I will never forget the older boys at school who sneered and laughed and bullied me growing up because I was skinny—the ones who inspired my self esteem to build some nasty beliefs about myself that I am still undoing.
I will never forget the women who came up to me in a shopping mall when I was 14 and put their hands around my ankles, measuring the size of my legs and shrieking disgustedly at my size.
I wonder if they would have done the same if I was a 300 pound woman?
There seems to be an awful lot of light on bullying of people who swing to one side of the scale—but what about the other?
A friend of mine told me the other day her nine year old sibling is constantly bullied at school and wears baggy-sleeved shirts in shame of his body. His teacher even brought up that he was "too skinny" in front of his whole class. Allowing and encouraging a class full of fragile, thirsty minds to hear his idiocy and carry on treating others abusively.
After a self growth course this year, a woman approached me and thanked me for sharing my struggle for self acceptance and love about my size zero skinny ass; previously she had had no idea that thin women got bullied too. She had been on the other end of the getting-made-fun-of weight spectrum and was shocked to hear me speak of my own path of accepting and loving my own body.
This just in: we all have to walk a journey to self love and acceptance.
We all have insecurities and parts of our bodies we might feel ashamed of or wish were just a little big bigger or smaller.
We all must face discrimination, assumptions, judgements and deal with other people's opinions of our shells.
We are dealt genetic cards at birth and show up in all shapes and sizes. Some of us have petite bums, some of us have asses to hold on to, some of us are dealt pancakes, some of us get tits that inspire other women to take fat of their ass and sew it to their chests. We are all so damn perfect and worthy of walking this planet free from harassment.
So unless we figure out a way to turn back time and negotiate our genetics with the universe, I get double A boobs and this skinny ass.
And all of it is just a shell—like wrapping paper tossed aside on Christmas morning to uncover the juicy and sweetest parts of our souls.
I still get in fights with my self esteem from time to time, but I am ferociously learning to take myself as I am and to love myself up—in all my phenomenal skinny glory.
"Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful." ~ Sophia Loren
The first step in disintegrating body image discrimination is connecting with our own raw hearts before we speak. The solution is being able to see women in all shapes and sizes and refrain from making unjustified assumptions on their diets.
The solution is not to wonder how much she eats and if when she gets up to pee halfway through her meal if she is going to shove her finger down her throat in the company of a toilet.
Skinny is not superior. It's just another measurement floating around in the genetic universe.
Our souls, our beauty, and our brilliance is not measured by something as trivial as our waist size or our exteriors.
"Size does not make a difference—we cannot take our bodies with us into eternity."-Thomas Voelker
The solution is to just really love each other, exactly as we are.
I am writing today to say all bodies are beautiful, but I am speaking specifically to speak to my scrawny sisters—those of you who get flack all the damn time—and are too afraid to speak out against outrageous, malicious comments, opinions and jokes because you are "lucky" to be little.
You are extraordinary in all your skinny glory; you are magnificent in all your Thumbelina smallness. I love all hundred and five pounds of each of your size zero asses—don't spend a moment in shame when faced with other's disposable opinions of your exterior.
And to those of you who poke fun at my slim sisters, my brosistas, or myself—with preconceived misconceptions that your imposed opinions are somehow justified—hear me roar.
I will not stand for your harassment. I will not cower down from your inappropriate stares at my lanky legs and knobby knees, I will not bend over and take your foolish, atrocious assumptions on what my body "should" look like. I will not shove my head in the sand and be assaulted by your blatant ignorance.
My skinny, healthy ass is marvelous as it is.
And so is yours.
So let's all get on the damn bus together and build a world that isn't measured by the width of our hips.
Let's build one that is measured by the walloping, insourmountable beauty within our hearts and the undeniable succulence of our souls.
More love—less of everything else.
"Though she be but little, she is fierce." ~ William Shakespeare

Fabulous article – I have experienced almost everything you have written about. I don't know how many times i've been called anorexic or told I look 16 (i'm approaching 30).
I've finally been able to put on some weight, I have tried on/off since I was about 14 to gain weight and nothing worked.. What finally worked? My metabolism slowing down as i've started to get a bit older. I'm now 5'6" and 115lbs, the most i've ever weighed. Thank you for writing this article
i agree with you! But at the end of the day woman are judged left right and center! You said at one point "I wonder if someone would have done that to a 300 pound woman." Well no. But they would say things like
"loose weight" and
"ugly fat ass!" Big woman get judged just like skinny woman and skinny woman get judged just like big woman! None of us get it worse than the other! I think media is to blame not woman! When your skinny you blame big curvy woman for being sexy, but when your big you blame skinny woman for being unhealthy! I think there is a size that we all should be and that is healthy! I think none of us woman are to blame! Its media! By the way i'm on the plus size! And I do tend to think that its good for bigger sizes to be introduced to the media! Not because bigger is better! But because models are skinny! Full stop! Models and media tell the society to be skinny! Thats why big woman get annoyed! Because media are always saying be skinny be skinny!! Thats not right! Thats why big woman get annoyed! I think woman should be less judgemental and more understanding towards each other! Girl instantly judge other girls on there appearance! I think we need to see the good in each other really and stop going on about the appearance of each other! xxx Feel sorry for you though! I got bullied to, I have had many hardships in life and im only 15! Yes very young but thats ho cruel people are! Walk tall and proud girls!! Whatever size you are! xx
Just read this, and am so glad someone has put it in writing. I still feel like I have to make excuses or apologize to people for being tall and thin, including parents an in-laws who tell me I need to put on weight and tell strangers what size I take when others comment. Good night, I'm 36 with three kids…why do people think it's fine to comment, and why does it still bother me?!?!? Spot on that the slightest inking of someone being "overweight" and everyone needs to be supersensitive, but flip the coin and comments can freely fly. Kudos to this post.
I can so relate to this article. I am the same size, and the number of comments people make about my body each week is, well, high. Especially in the work-place. I feel the same way, sort of incredulous and sad that people feel okay making comments to my face. Like the guy who biked past me in the park and yelled: EAT FOOD, into my face as he passed. I'm constantly being told what I should be eating, being nicknamed based on my size or catching men at work talking (negatively) about my size behind my back. I had a client at work tell me I was "hardly 2 shadows". I'm not THAT small. I have boobs, I have thighs. I'm so sick of my body size being brought into conversations or arena where it is not at all relevant. I am capable of feeling just as unsexy as the next woman – clearly my lack of ass, thickness is not to the liking of many, and the (proclaimed) jealousy of others. The bottom line for me is that everyone needs to step back and consider the appropriateness of commenting on a woman's body like we live in an obligation to look like… well, we can never hit that mark, right? Were always going to be "too" something. So fuck off, commenters. Why do you body shame another person?
LOVE this!! Thank you thank you for sharing… ALL the freaking time I get "asked" why I work out, why I eat healthy- to just eat the freaking ice cream- and you know what- sometimes I do- but I ENJOY working out and being active, I LIKE healthy food. so yay- and I will never forget being weighed in 4th grade before I could go down a water slide on a class trip, and not weighing enough and having to walk down the stairs while all my classmates went down the slide. Humiliating for sure……
Just now · Like
Skinny women and fat women and all the women in between are upset about body image issues. When are we going to stop pinning the issue on our weight and admit that we're upset about objectification?
Someone made a comment about your picture basically saying that you were a thin, super tan, airbrushed looking model with pretty styled hair when in reality you were a greasy sweaty mess? How rude! Don't let someone ever talk to you like that!
Thank you. It's ALL written in here, what a great article. Me myself had been, and still fighting with everything of the above, and beginning to gain self-confidence and self-love finally, for the first time in my life… Blessings
Wow never have I related so much to something written about a woman's body! I am in the same boat as you and so happy that your article is being shared! I will be continuing to share with my skinny ass friends as well!
Thank you. Just …. Thank you. I've heard those comments my entire life as well. It's so awesome to have someone stand up for the tiny women of the world!
Having spent time at each end of this "debate" I absolutely understand where is everyone is coming from BUT I definitely have endured more critism and had fewer positive body-image reinforcements being overweight. I mean you can look at television and print advertisement and get the gist of it. Lets stop with the back and forth.
I'm sorry, but your "persecution" is a lot less intense than someone who's fat and black. You get to be a pretty, skinny white lady. Don't even pretend you know what it's like to be targeted. Get over yourself.
Right?!? Thank you
So, you're saying because people have said worse things to you that its alright for you to continue the cycle. This is not a competition for who is suffering most. She's saying LOVE yourself no matter what shape, size, or COLOR you are. You think being a "pretty skinny white lady" means life is easier and that worse things have not been done to that type of person? How about you get over your close-minded self and realize that you saying that only perpetuates the discrimination. The issues will not go away any time soon in our current world but it sounds to me like you need to change the way you think. Learn to empathize, learn to agree that other people have a hard time as well. Some peoples' situations or experiences may be worse than others, but the only way it gets better for ANY of us human beings is to not treat others' bodies, lives, experiences, or whatever like they are any less or more than our own. The only way we can change the world that objectifies us is to change our own thinking first and personally stop objectifying and discriminating against others. YOUR get over yourself and don't downplay her feelings because you feel pain from your own.
You're kidding, right? The pain of getting harassed, made fun of, ridiculed, looked down upon, laughed at, and mocked is equally as hurtful whether you're skinny or overweight. Being white or black has nothing to do with it. Body shaming is what the deal is. Why people have to justify being rude (that includes playing that damn race card) on a subject in which the author is sticking up for all women everywhere is beyond me. What is wrong with us, sisters? We need to be lifting each other up and supporting one another, not bringing someone down because of something as irrelevant as race, weight, size, religion, appeal… WHATEVER. We are a human race and we need to start sticking together! Rising above the norm of ridiculing others in order to make ourselves feel better and instead being a support system is what is going to change the world for the better!
I get it and got it. People will never understand the horrifying things people say to really skinny people got it my whole life. Didn't gain weight until I was 45 and my thyroid tanked and not working out for 19 years. Now at 47 I could lose about 15 and this little belly is like a foreign appendage to someone who Never weighed over 115 and I am 5'9″. I was very ill and hit 89 pounds and the comments were so unconscious.This angry woman who said get over yourself doesn't understand and I will say even after the continual barrage of naive mean comments over my weight my whole life and trying to keep weight on, I would rather be thin than over weight. Now I just get OMG you look so much better now lol, like I was some horror show before. I will say I like having some boobs now. Lol it's really loving yourself and being healthy that is important! But I get it, I really do.
Absolutely FABULOUS and long overdue! You ROCK!!!
Thank you what a joy to read. I must admit though, there had been times I ran into those skinny women with animosity and then looked at parts of myself that were jiggly. And after a while it occurred to me that I once was one of those skinny ****es – that is before I had my children umpteen years ago. I do, I do still work out and have come to terms with what I cannot do and cannot achieve as far fitness and as afar as liking what I look like. So, here, here! to all women in all kinds of bodies. – Stevie
I think that it is still valuable for you to consider presenting different size, skin tone, and shaped women for photographs in your blog. If a particular image of body is over represented as positive and you have the opportunity and position to present other body types positively, I hope that you will have the inclination to take it up.
All women's bodies are over scrutinized. No woman's body type escapes school, or work, or whatever unscathed. And internalized body hatred causes women to lash out at each other and their own.
But the fact remains that thin, white with a tan women are over represented positively as healthy and beautiful. When someone harasses you for your weight, as a thin woman you have more representation supporting you as great the way you are and as ideal.
If even in some small way, through your blog or other ways, if you could add to presenting other bodies as beautiful too it would go a little ways towards removing the internalized self hatred that leads woman to bite other women over their sizes.
And the taller you are, the worse the skinny comments seem to be. I'm all arms and legs. All skinny. I gave birth to a set of healthy twins and am back to skinny one year later. I've heard all the stupid comments. My thought is wouldn't it be interesting to see if it were socially acceptable to make similar comments of size back to the people who say these rude comments? To have someone say to me, "Oh my goodness, you need to eat something," I'd love to say back, "Maybe you should stop eating so much pie." But oh ho no, that's not socially acceptable to pick on plumper people. Apparently, it's only "acceptable" to pick on skinny people. It's not acceptable to pick on anyone! Thanks Janne for speaking up for all us skinny people!
Thank you! I am a naturally tall woman (my parents are 6'2" and 5'10") who was also born with cystic fibrosis, a deadly disease that makes gaining weight extremely difficult. Throughout my life I have either heard "oh you're SO lucky" (because I have a disease that, in addition to having a life expectancy in the 30s is also, coincidentally, responsible for making me skinny? If that's "lucky", I wish I wasn't!) or, especially more recently, "god, you need to gain weight!" Total strangers feel justified asking me if I've eaten that day, or making inappropriate comments about my weight, never even CONSIDERING that they might be rubbing salt in an already very open wound. It's both humiliating and sad that anyone, regardless of size, should feel uncomfortable about being in public because their body doesn't match some made up idealized version of "normal."
When will we realize that attacking people based on their weight is no more the "solution" to lookism and shallow thinking than drinking a glass of water is the solution to drowning? Beautifully written article.
So much love for this. The thing I've never understood as a (naturally) skinny lady is when people comment things like 'look at that skinny b**ch, she must be anorexic' as if it is okay to ridicule someone for this reason. No. Anorexia is a serious mental health disorder, which should be recognised with empathy, not horrible insults.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. So powerful! No to body shaming in ALL it's forms!

- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
- 24 ounce cream cheese
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
How To Bake Simple Cheesecake Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, chopped walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and melted butter. Mix well and press into the bottom of a 9 inch spring-form pan. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Beat in sour cream and heavy cream. Blend in the flour and vanilla. With mixer on low speed, add eggs one at a time. Pour batter over crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until center is almost set (filling will be soft). Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight before removing from pan.
This is an unbeatably creamy cheesecake which can be enjoyed with or without a splash of cream.

I mix whey protein with milk right before I go to sleep and drink it. Is this ok? Since I go about 8-9 hours without eating due to sleep, I feel this is a good time to digest some protein. Is it OK to drink protein before bed?

There is some good news in New Jersey for children who missed Halloween due to Superstorm Sandy- Governor Chris Chrisite kept his word about postponing it until today.
The governor said delaying trick or treating for five days was a common sense and necessary step.
He also stated that his priority was to protect the public due to on-going safety concerns from the intense flooding, fallen trees and downed power lines.

The most exciting of the new announcements imho. I resisted buying it on Steam because I hoped that Playstation would follow. Just a bit sad it has no online multiplayer (I remember the Polygon debate about why not), would have enjoyed such a game on the Vita.

Multiplayer sensation Nidhogg is coming to PS4
0Author replies
Hello blogizens, we at Messhof are super excited to announce that Nidhogg is coming to PS4! The game has always been best played with gamepads, so we're pumped to be working with Sony on our newest release of Nidhogg.
We have the most fun playing Nidhogg in front of our TV with friends. Sharing a TV and controllers is way more comfortable than crowding around someone's desk and sharing a keyboard. Exclusive to the PS4 version, the built-in tournament mode now indicates your fencer's colour on DualShock 4′s light bar… how cool is that?!
When you're not hosting an awesome Nidhogg tournament at home, you can get some practice in by playing through the single-player training mode, which has a variety of AI personalities you can practice against. Of course, sometimes you want to play against a real human, so playing with your friends via PSN is going to be super sweet.
In the past few months we've been watching Twitch streamers play Nidhogg on their computers, which is usually only set up to be super comfy for one person. Our crystal ball says that with Nidhogg on PS4, we'll be seeing more living room battles. But seriously, guys, the PS4 version is dope, and we're ready to start streaming our own living room parties through Twitch… ASAP.
We think you'll really love the PS4 version as much as we do. For us, a new pool of players to challenge on the battlefield is really exciting. En garde!

Which era had the highest ratio of crooked top level fights?
The Current Era - everyone is juiced to the gills fighting at 1/4 lbs catch weights with weigh in three or four days early so Welterweights come in the ring over 160 and the scoring looks like it is done by a little old lady sunday school class. Don't get me started on the ref's either, they let one guy damn near get killed in the ring and stop another for a flash KD that he is up at 4 on. The alphabet soup constant corruption concerning ratings for a shot at a title seems to be based mostly on hearsay and not actual real life performance in the ring. How can anyone possibly defend this "modern" mess we call Professional Boxing? All this **** is why MMA is even a major sport. IS it really more exciting to watch two grown men play grabass? No - Boxing is just too crooked to be entertaining anymore... Even when (if?) you get the champ off his yearlong vacation to fight some luckless halfwit recently made a contender because the REAL fighters are to dangerous and not big draws... There has always been and will likely always be some corrupt BS in any major money sport, but the current modern level of crooked **** is absurd and detremental to the continued existance of the sport.
