Do you trust genetically modified food?
- Rmis32 Aug 19, 2011 09:14 AM
"Engineering Food for All" in today's NY Times advocates limiting the regulations that raise costs and discourage utilization of GMF's. With rising populations, the author claims that GMF's are both desirable and necessary to deal with increasing demand. Further, she claims that despite extensive studies, there is no evidence of harmful effects. Are you comfortable with GMF's? Do you find the author's contention convincing?
Personally, I'd love to enjoy the benefits of this innovation and I have no knowledge of harmful effects, but based on the food industry's propensity to innovate for economic and marketing reasons, rather than healthfulness and quality , I'm still skeptical.
This might be of interest (and is good for a laugh).
re: pikawicca
I'm no expert, but here goes...
I don't believe eating GMF's will have any negative effects on my health, but I will do everything possible to avoid eating them.
BUT, my reasoning for NOT eating GMF's is that they aren't part of what I see as sustainable farming practice. Their use encourages the practice of monoculture farming - growing only the same crop on the same soil, year after year, rather than growing a variety of crops and rotating them to keep the right mix of nutrients in the soil.
I don't think we know enough about the long-term effects of this practice on the environment to fully embrace it at this time.
I'd be interested to know the percentage of GMO's that are used for animal feed, ethanol and high-fructose corn syrup in North America. If we as a society decided to eat less meat, drive less and cut down on soda/soft drinks and processed/prepared food, the land used to produce these crops could provide more "real food", and that would be a big step toward feeding the growing world population.
I also have concerns about the ethical practices of some of the producers of GMO's. It is my understanding that farmers are not permitted to use seeds produced by their GMO crops, and must continue to purchase them from the companies. How does that help a third-world farmer out of poverty?
There is also the issue of GMO seed contaminating the fields of other farmers who have chosen to use conventional or organic methods. Google GMO & lawsuit, or Monsanto & lawsuit, and a bigger picture will present itself.
I'd be interested to hear how others feel about this.
As others have noted, the most significant negatives of GMO foods aren't the health effects of consuming that food, but their effect on the food system. They reinforce, big time, the growing corporate concentration, industrialization, and genetic uniformity of food production.
The spread of GMO crops threatens the very possibility of organic, traditionally grown crops nearby, and the companies that control the technology (aided heavily by the US government under the last three administrations) have demonstrated over and over that they're out to crush independent farmers and those working to preserve a food system outside FoodInc.
Large-scale planting of GMO crops designed to withstand application of herbicides have resulted in weeds resistant to those herbicides, massively speeding up the resistance cycle.
Nina Fedoroff (author of the op ed linked in the OP) -- like many other top scientists in an increasingly corporatized academia -- is personally invested in the success of biotechnologies. E.g., She was a long-time board member of Sigma-Aldrich before resigning to take the State Dept. advisory job, and will probably return to that board once she steps down from the govt post. http://investor.sigmaaldrich.com/rele...
re: ellabee
This is even more outrageous.
"Percy Schmeiser is a farmer from Saskatchewan Canada, whose Canola fields were contaminated with Monsanto's genetically engineered Round-Up Ready Canola by pollen from a nearby farm. Monsanto says it doesn't matter how the contamination took place, and is therefore demanding Schmeiser pay their Technology Fee (the fee farmers must pay to grow Monsanto's genetically engineered products). "
re: Rmis32
Monsanto is pure evil.
re: Rmis32
"chemical tresspass" is just as strong an argument,granted most cave when the biggies wave a big stick
There are many cases where farmers have won the argument.Spray drift from a conventional farm to certified organic isn't OK.
Slightly lean towards favoring.
On safety.
It's a guarantee that all of us have used GM products. GM bacteria and other organisms are used in production of a lot of drugs and supplements. There's really no debating the safety aspect.
On farming.
Crop diversity has gone downhill way before GM crops. At the same time, we see new ones being cultivated, either through traditional methods or in the lab.
On the farmer.
Last I checked, it's still a choice for them. Use GM seeds and purchase seeds every season or use traditional methods.
On the ecosystem.
Just about every time human beings decide to release an animal into a new habitat, things end up going wrong. So, for that (very long history of human stupidity) reason, I really don't like the thought of GM animals that have an edge in reproduction, growth and development.
On marketing.
Why the *&%$ don't they spend some time creating a GM crop that just flat out tastes better/stronger than the produce we have now? If they were extra tasty, then there would be more support for the stuff. If GM resulted in quick growing bluefins and being able to cultivate truffles, then it's an easy prediction that support will grow.
On necessity.
Spare me. We already produce enough food to feed everyone happily. But, that's a different topic.
Since the beginning of agriculture GMF has existed, without it we wouldn't have corn.
re: kpaxonite
Yes, we have been selectively breeding the food we grow since agriculture began, but that is different from manipulating the genetics of our food organisms.
Another scary GMO piece in this week's news:
(had to get it from a UK publication - I imagine it didn't make headlines on this side of the ocean)
re: hungryjoanne
Selective breeding is by definition manipulating the genetics of food organisms.
re: limster
I disagree... just think about animals. Zorses, bengal cats, and mules. The genetics have undoubtedly been modified of the original animals to the extent that they qualify as a different species.
re: kpaxonite
Er.....I think you meant to disagree with the post above, since we both consider selective breeding to be genetic manipulation?
re: kpaxonite
The issues revolve around who controls the modified material, who owns it, and how it's used, not primarily the fact of genetic modification itself.
re: ellabee
How are those issues different from the patent issues surrounding the software and hardware that we use everyday to post on this forum? How many of us are dedicated Open Source users?
re: paulj
Precedent, for one. Telling farmers that they have no rights to their own seeds goes against 10,000 years of tradition.
Also it's harder to enforce fairly and worse for the world at large, which has relied upon individuals 'modifying' produce since the beginning of agriculture. Processes very similar to modern genetic modification (in effect, if not in execution) have revolutionized our species' food supply again and again and allowed for the population our planet now supports (meaning your very existence and mine, most likely). Do we really want the rights to that process to be controlled by an aggressive giant corporate monopoly that legislates and litigates any competition into bankruptcy?
re: cowboyardee
Farmers have long been at the mercy of their seed suppliers, especially tenant farmers with little to no capital.
At the root of Monsanto's power in this area is the idea of intellectual property rights, i.e. their patents and licensing arrangements. They may be particularly skilled at exercising these rights, but I doubt if that use is unique. Just because you own a computer running Microsoft's operating system, does not give you the right to duplicate it, or write new software using their patented ideas.
Who's the primary competition to Monsanto? DuPont isn't closed to bankruptcy is it?
re: paulj
Being 'at the mercy of their seed suppliers' and having no rights to the seeds they themselves grow is a fundamentally and radically different state of affairs. And that's not to even mention farmers being sued out of business for accidental crossbreeding of seeds they obtained elsewhere. Find me examples of seed suppliers successfully suing individual farmers for patent infringement before Monsanto started doing so in the mid-90s. Timesaving hint... they don't exist.
Comparing intellectual property rights for software companies to intellectual property rights for a seed company is so fundamentally different that the analogy falls apart. For one, the software industry has no millennia-old precedent for patent-free development by individuals. For another, software is not a living organism that reproduces itself, leaving the question of rights quite murky when nature is left to do what nature does. If Microsoft Vista was able to form some unholy hybrid with Linux all on its own, and then infect home computers in Missouri, I'd feel a little different about Microsoft suing for patent infringement.
But most of all, farmers' free rights to their seeds has been one of the driving forces behind agriculture since the beginning of human civilization, and a great boon to mankind. We're seriously flirting with ending that just so a huge and already profitable corporation can sell more pesticide and herbicide.
On DuPont: you are correct. DuPont is doing just fine. They are not merely the primary competition to Monsanto; they are the only major competition. They are doing fine because two companies effectively dominate the market for agricultural seeds in the US (while also having substantial interest in various other agricultural and non-agricultural sectors both domestically and internationally). You think this entails real economic competition? I think it's exactly what antitrust laws are supposed to protect us against. These companies are as powerful or more so than those of the robber baron era, and probably have a great deal more influence on our government.
re: cowboyardee
I share cowboyardee's concerns.
But I am even more worried about the longterm impact of unleashing these new forms of life into the wild.
The law and its interpretation are easily changed.
Not so easy to control plants and animals once they get loose from where they were originally intended to go.
This development may be irreversible, and we may well come to regret it once that genie's out of the bottle.
re: racer x
Quote Racer x: "But I am even more worried about the longterm impact of unleashing these new forms of life into the wild."
Quote, Me: "For another, software is not a living organism that reproduces itself, leaving the question of rights quite murky when nature is left to do what nature does."
Amusing thought: it occurred to me that we have a real-life version of Jurassic Park playing out. Except that when 'life finds a way' as it tends to do, rather than admitting fault, the responsible party just sues everyone in the affected area.
re: ellabee
There are abuses like this that don't involve large companies or GM crops. Take, for example the mayocabo or peruano bean. This is a light yellow bean that rivals the pinto and black for popularity in Mexico. But we are seeing it in the USA only recently because a seed producer in Colorado held a patent on a yellow bean, and was able to block the importation of this bean. After an extended fight, his patent was invalidated, basically on the argument that he could not have bred a new bean in the short time between when he bought some samples in Mexico, and when he filed the patent.
Selective breeding is genetic engineering. We have taken over the selection of traits, as opposed to the environment, and therefore created monstrosities that are perfectly wonderful for our needs. (Would a cauliflower survive in nature? I've seen heirloom Brandywines half the size of a football...would it be recognized by anything that would normally eat the pea-sized ancestral tomato? Most people don't think of selective breeding in this way, however. Its OK to selectively cross whole genomes, because its natural. Taking out a gene or 2 at a time and transferring those is unnatural, and therefore bad. Hmmmm.....viruses have been doing it for us for eons. Bacteria exchange genes like they were those silly bracelets you get at 7-11. Much of our DNA, and that of nearly all organisms, includes samples of DNA that were transferred to us courtesy of viruses. That said, though....I am definitely not in favor of unregulated use of transgenic foods. potatoes with Bt genes and glyphosate resistant genes give me the creeps. But would I take rice with beta carotene? That doesn't disturb me in the least.
re: EricMM
There is a HUGE difference between doing classical genetics (cross breeding) of plants and injecting foreign DNA into them from other, non related species.
I don't trust genetically modified food and I certainly don't trust the companies that make GMO's to care about either the safety of the food or my health and well being. For them there is only one concern and that is $$$.
pandoras's picnic basket aside,we already are
selective breeding,domestication,seed selection,hand pollination
corn has been under cultivation so long the definitive plant parent is still a mystery
how much inter/intra species genetic manipulation is too much????good question
if the cancer cure is OK,why not the tomatoe or pig
with a PHD in Bio-Chemistry,a past in public health all over the world, trained chef living on a 42 acre farm,THESE ARE NOT EASY QUESTIONS ,WITH ANY QUICK ANSWERS
re: lcool
The question you ask limits ing the focus to the genetic manipulation itself, when it is the system of ever-increasing concentration of corporate control of food crops in which GMO technology is embedded, and the way that it's being used as a tool to further that control, that makes it so dangerous.
Your varied, impressive credentials ought to assist you in taking a wider view of the issue.
re: ellabee
The long of it and the short of it should be informed choices.I won't pretend there isn't a problem with available information.Much is just as hard to find as they can make it,get away with.
They don't call it AGRI-BUSINESS for nothing.Just because I don't approve of the concept doesn't mean I know where to draw the line and would admit it.My personal choices don't include electrocuted chickens or any other large factory model that delivers all for the sake of cheap.With a USDA that is without teeth and woefully understaffed you have a recipe for ? during a recall rather like sitting on a tablesaw and wondering which tooth got you.Who to blame?Is the US Congress qualified to write or legislate rules change?
We grow,raise,consult and teach from soil to table and happen to be old enough to remember the older,good and bad.
My wider view would include most if not all monopolies or near enough monopolies to control a crop or product can be problematic.Pineapples,cane sugar are two that come to mind that most people I know simply don't think about.A list of irrational crops because of pesticides,herbicides,human rights or just plain monoculture stupidity would be how long?
Then there is the stuff you never get to say where an advertiser can pull the plug.Therefor the media stance is unlikely to change.
The crucial point that those who equate the time-honored traditions of selective breeding with modern lab-based genetic modification of food miss is that we have had generations upon generations to observe the effects of selective breeding on our well-being. Such is not yet the case with the kinds of genetically-modified foods that the author of the article is advocating. How can she claim that "now the evidence is in. These crop modification methods are not dangerous," when it might take decades before serious ill effects of genetic manipulation arise and longer still before they are recognized for what they are?
And let's also remember that the new varieties of food produced by traditional methods of agriculture and animal husbandry have always been slow to disseminate across the reaches of humanity. If a particular new variety were to cause a problem, the effects would be relatively limited geographically. There would always been some isolated areas that were untouched.
But the world is a much smaller place today than even 50 years ago. The author freely admits that "in 2010, crops modified by molecular methods were grown in 29 countries on more than 360 million acres." Like other skeptics in this thread, I worry about the disastrous effects the global food supply could suffer if serious defects of certain genetically-modified foods weren't recognized until after the genetically-modified foods had replaced traditional foods.
I believe lab-based genetic modification may hold great promise.
However, I completely disagree with the author's assertion that "it is time to relieve the regulatory burden slowing down the development of genetically modified crops. The three United States regulatory agencies need to develop a single set of requirements and focus solely on the hazards — if any — posed by new traits" and that "above all, the government needs to stop regulating genetic modifications for which there is no scientifically credible evidence of harm."
By all means, scientists should continue to try to develop new varieties of food using genetic modification. But the process must absolutely be tightly regulated, and all the effects of introducing these products into the food supply must be carefully studied -- not just effects that are thought to be hazards. What might not seem to be a hazard today might be recognized to be a hazard in the future. If no one is looking for problems, it will be harder to spot them when they occur.
It wasn't all that long ago that medical researchers were fined for lapses in the conduct of a gene therapy experiment that led to the death of a patient volunteer.
When the stakes are so high, and the financial motives so overwhelming, allowing innovators to police themselves is just foolhardy.
As for the problem of being able to find food for all the hungry mouths as populations grow, there are other potential solutions.
We (humanity) already know how to safely control reproductive rates. The question is whether we have the collective will to do it.
Another concern I have is that the few real choices we currently have when we buy foods will be further limited in this new era.
We read of widespread fraud in the labeling of fish.
How will we know whether the foods in the market are traditional foods or are genetically-modified foods? Just because the grocer claims a food is non-genetically-modified does it make it so? How will the grocer or his/her supplier even know, especially with foods being imported from the other side of the globe (I saw South African oranges in the local Costco here in Miami today!)?
re: racer x
1) No such thing as traditional foods.
2) Deal with it. Or grow and raise your own food.
(in response to your second post..i agree with the first one)
re: kpaxonite
"Traditional foods" in that sentence means food produced without using the kind of genetic modification that the author of the article was discussing.

Incarcerated rapper Lil Wayne has penned a final letter to fans as he rests 48 hours away from being released back into the free world after serving eight months behind bars.
In his letter, Wayne reflects on the early days in Rikers Island.
"As I greet you all in my last days on this island, I must reflect. I think back to when I first arrived and I had no clue of what I'd be experiencing. I was never scared, worried, nor bothered by the situation. For that, I thank God, my family, and you, my amazing fans. I prayed for you all every night, as I'm aware that I was in your prayers as well. The very first day that I received mail, it was about 300 pieces or more! I smiled like a child of Christmas. But when I began to read them, my heart smiled. I laughed with some of you, reasoned with some of you, and even cried with some of you. I responded to as many of you that time would allow. I plan to keep reading and responding after my release. I thank you all for being so very supportive, as I never imagined how much impact my words and life can have. With this knowledge, I vow to continue to be me! For you have assured time that I don't have to change for no one but God. I will be the same Martian I was when I left, just better. You fans are more than amazing, and I will for to the end of the world for your love. This isn't the last of weezythanxyou.com I will continue to thank you when I'm home." (Weezy Thanx You)
This week, Wayne revealed what he would do following his release from jail.
"Not sure about the concert yet. And the first five things I will do is kiss Reginae, kiss little Dwayne, kiss Neal, kiss Kameron and kiss my wonderful mother Cita…All artists and friends were very supportive. Thank God I've gotten two visits a week since the day I walked in. I'd have to say the visit from Diddy was most surprising because there's a lot that you're required to go through and to think he did just to see me is more than cool. But again, everybody has been more than supportive. I never felt alone." (Billboard)
Cash Money Records' Baby recently talked about how jail has changed Wayne.
"Lil Wayne is writing furiously in anticipation of his post-prison return to Hip-Hop, family and the free world. "He hasn't written out rhymes since the Hot Boys," Birdman told Rolling Stone in the November edition of the magazine. "There's a different swagger coming from Wayne, different things to talk about." (All Hip Hop)
Young Money CEO Mack Maine recently discussed a rumored "Welcome Home Weezy" concert being nixed.
"It's not gonna be a concert, he's gonna do a party," Mack Maine confirmed in an interview. "We wanted to do a concert, but we just decided to do a party. We might do a family party. We just gonna celebrate him coming home and just party-party and work- work. Just wild out and celebrate, fly to Miami, fly to where we live. Of course, he gotta make sure he sees his immediate family, his kids and stuff. Just basically have a good time." (VIBE)
Lil Wayne is expected to be released from jail on November 4th.

On December 29th, 1964 – 49 years ago today – the original filming model of the U.S.S. Enterprise was delivered to the Howard Anderson Company. There, it would be used as the centerpiece for optical effects scenes to be included in the pilot episode of what was hoped to be a new television series, Star Trek.
Model maker Richard C. Datin, Jr., who worked for the company and oversaw the efforts of craftsmen Mel Keys, Vernon Sion, and Volmer Jensen, constructed the 11-foot "miniature" from a 1-foot prototype Datin himself built. The prototype and the larger model were of course based on the design created by Star Trek production artist Walter M. "Matt" Jefferies.
Later, Datin would make a few minor adjustments to the model prior to its use during the filming of the original series' first pilot, "The Cage." He subsequently would make alterations to the model for the second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before," and again once the show sold to NBC and filming began on the series' first season.
CLICK TO ENLARGE (L-R: Richard C. Datin, Jr. Mel Keys, Vernon Sion)
The model has been on display at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum since the late 1970s. Originally, it hung in one of the first-level galleries, where it remained until the mid-late 1980s. After an extensive restoration, the model was returned to a 2nd floor gallery in the Air & Space Museum as part of a larger exhibit commemorating Star Trek, which ran between February 1992 and January 1993.
The first time I saw it up close and personal was in early 1986, at which time I snapped these two pictures with one of those old-style 110 cameras. The pic on the left was me standing in front the gallery's entrance, and the right was taken from an adjacent stairway landing.
After a major restoration, the model was displayed as part of a temporary Star Trek exhibit during the mid 1990s. These days, it can be found on display in the lower level of the museum's main gift store.
The museum also maintains a blog, which includes a couple of features detailing the museum's first restoration of the model:
Blog.NASM.SI.edu: Restoration of the Starship Enterprise
Blog.NASM.SI.edu: X-Ray Analysis of the Starship Enterprise
There's also an information page about the model's history and its current display.
Physical model work for film and television is pretty much obsolete, replaced by computer-generated imagery which allows for the realization of visual effects unimagined at the time of the original Star Trek series. The newer medium has continued to improve with leaps and bounds as technology advances, producing results which at times can be breathtaking. Still, it's difficult for me to imagine harboring feelings for a computer-generated spaceship that rival the nostalgia I hold for artifacts like the original Enterprise.
Happy Birthday, Big E!

Jessops goes into administration
Jessops, the photographic retailer, has today fallen into administration, marking the latest casualty to hit the nation's high-streets.
Jessops: camera specialist goes into administration
Jessops has 192 stores in the UK and employs around 2,000 staff. The camera retailer has in recent years been hit by increased competition from internet retailers and supermarkets. Its demise marks the first high-street casualty of 2013. PricewaterHouseCoopers (PwC) has been appointed as the administrator.
Rob Hunt, joint administrator and partner at PwC, told the BBC: "Out most pressing task is to review the company's financial position and hold discussions with its principal stakeholders to see if the business can be preserved.
"Trading in the stores is hoped to continue today but is critically dependant on these ongoing discussions. However, in the current economic climate it is inevitable that there will be store closures."
Jessops demise follows that of Peacocks, the value fashion chain, Blacks Leisure, the outdoor goods specialist, video games retailers Game Group and Clinton Cards, the greetings card retailer.

I had twin girls that went to Columbia Christian School. We loved everything about the school. Unfortunately we had to move due to my husbands job. I highly recommend the school!
Our children love this school. The students are challenged a lot more here than in the public school, although this sometimes means more projects, reports, and tests. Each grade also takes a couple of neat field trips per year. Excellent learning environment with very few discipline problems.
The curriculum isn't as fast paced as it should be and is not at all helpful in furthering ones academic career. Most of the staff and students can be very judgmental and hypocritical. I made many friends at this school but cannot look back at my experience very happily.
My child just started going to CCS this year. It has been the best thing we could have done for our child! We love this place! She is a straight A student, however, she has to really work hard to get there. The work is a challenge, the teachers are great and the classmates are, for the most part, very well disciplined. I wish we had started her in this school. We never want to go back to public school again.
This is a great school. We recently had to move, but the number one reason that I would move back would be so that my kids could once again go to this school. There is wonderful parent involvement, and an outstanding faculty and staff. My kids now have to attend a public school, but I can proudly say that they are comfortably ahead of the class, especially in reading. Their success is due to their teachers, and their own determination to do their best, which has been instilled by their teachers from Kindergarten and up. If you are looking for a school with a family type atmosphere, this is the one for you. I hope that my review will help some of you make the decision to allow your kid(s) to be a part of this wonderful school.
I have 2 children at this school. I highly recommend it. Great teachers. Currently have great basketball, baseball, and soccer programs. Parental involvement is encouraged.
I go there and my name is Micah Garland. I love it.
This is a great school 2 of my children go there. And have been for 6 years and intend on staying there. There is a great inviroment for everyone. Oh and they no longer use paces or the ACE program it is now A BECKA. This school is really a great place to send your children and feel safe about it.

This is a very average mascara. I don't really have any complaints but its nothing to rave about either.
Very good one! Adds lots of volume without creating those few but thick spider legs from my lashes, lifts lashes, removes easily, doesnt irritate eyes.
Down side: After all day long my lashes are not as black as they were when I colored them with this mascara (naturally my lashes are light brown) and they are a little bit ''landed down". Still a very good mascara, repuchased it more than one time.
One bottle lasts for ~ 3 months using it 5 days/week.
I didn't get the amazing effect everyone else experienced. I usually wear Shiseido Makeup Base with the Lifting Mascara and I guess my lashes are depended on those two products. LAsh Blast didn't do anything for me. it weighed my lashes down and didn't even keep the curl. The one good thing it did was make my lashes very soft opposed to the Shiseido mascara. I will not be repurchasing.
I like my lashes to be super thick and this doesn't give the full effect but it makes them "pop" a little more than without. I tried this over my HG mascara and damn it gives me that "wow" look that I love. I will be buying lash blast again but I only gave it a 4 because stand alone its not that amazing.
More reviews by CarlieJacobsLove
One of the better drug store mascaras.
From the reviews I've read it doesn't seem to work for everyone, but it's fantastic mascara for my lashes. Just enough volume and great length without clumping or flaking. I like the oversized wand seems to help me coat from root to tip without overdoing it with too many coats. I can get by with 2 coats and get great results! The oversized packaging is really nice I can reach in the bottom of my traincase without even looking to snatch this one up.
I will be repurchasing!
My go to*great priced* mascara
I find these Cover girl are great price for department store and are awesome on the lashes.
This seems to be a love it or hate it, but I like it a lot. I keep trying other mascaras and go back to this. One, I have long lashes but they are fine, and this slips an even coat on my lashes root to tip without clumping. If I go dramatic and wear a few layers I can add them on and it still doesn't goop up. Its not waterproof (if I cry it will run) but it won't come off with a little sweat or me rubbing my eyes. Its my go to for now.

Never again. Cover girl mascara is terrible. Their makeup is terrible!
After time, I experienced:
-Bloodshot eyes that burned like crazy by the end of the day.
-Permanent eye veins for the duration that I used it which was a long time by the way.
-Eyelashes were brittle and falling out.
-It was terrible to try and remove, and the consistency is so tar-like. Heaven forbid you accidentally get some in your eye- ouch!
-I was replacing one tube of mascara every 2 weeks because I thought the product was getting old and causing these issues. No, its just a crap product!
I'm not entirely sure this product caused the vision issues I had experienced, but since I have stopped using it, I have had no issues at all. So perhaps there is a link between the two and that we're in fact NOT supposed to put chemicals so close to our eyes. Hmm.
It is cheap for a reason and there are soooo many chemicals in that tiny tube! Save your money up and spend it on a good quality mascara because you deserve it! I'm sure their product is strong enough to cause blindness. All in all, it's awful and if I could give this product a rating of zero, I most certainly would.
I have spent a small fortune trying different kinds of mascara; I had fallen in love with Lancome , but the high cost really annoyed me. Then I tried Lashblast, not expecting much. I am absolutely amazed. I LOVE it. It's thick without ever being clumpy, goes on fast and evenly with the wonderful large thick brush, and stays put ALL day without flaking, smearing, or smudging. (And I have oily skin, so this was incredible). The colors are beautiful; the brown is a true lovely soft true brown, and the Deepest Black is really beautiful on my blue eyes. To top it all off, it comes off easily with soap and water or non oily eye makeup remover, and doesn't cause any problems with my contact lenses. And for all this, I only pay $ 7.00 at Walmart. Absolutely fabulous product! I buy 3 to 4 at a time. I was so impressed with the thickening regular Lashblast that I tried the 24 hour formula. It's INCREDIBLE. Seriously. I don't usually like waterproof mascaras, because they are too hard to get off, and not worth the trouble. This IS. It has all the great qualities of the thickening formula, but hold up beautifully through an entire long rainy day, or an entire day outside in hot humid weather gardening or playing tennis or bike riding. Great product!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The brush was too fat and the hairs too short and far apart to make a difference on my lashes. I felt like I would have to use the whole bottle to notice a difference. I have fairly long, black lashes. If I could wear falsies everyday I would, but its not practical for my job. Perhaps a good match for someone looking for a more "natural" look? I fell in Love with Too Faced, Better than False Lashes. Nothing compares.

Review: Colerain proves laughter the best medicine in 'Arsenic'
There is nothing comparable to a good laugh. Laughter is the best medicine, and can cure anything from heartbreak to an illness even if just temporarily. Few things help us forget about our complicated lives more than sitting in the audience of a show and just laughing. Colerain High School's recent production of the classic black comedy "Arsenic and Old Lace" surely would have helped anyone laugh their troubles away.
"Arsenic and Old Lace," a three act play that originally appeared onstage in 1941, chronicles the misadventures of a Brooklyn family over the course of one action-packed night. Mortimer Brewster, a theater critic who lives in New York, travels out one night to pick up his fiancé for a night on the town at his aunt's house when the escapades begin. Mortimer finds himself having to deal with his younger brother who is convinced he is President Theodore Roosevelt, his two seemingly sweet aunts, who reveal themselves to be killers, and the arrival of his notoriously hot-headed brother Jonathan.
Colerain High School's performance was driven by their excellent cast which was firing at all cylinders. Each member of the cast was able to act with the chemistry of an actual family, making their performances of possibly unrealistic character so real and their jokes so piercingly funny.
Ryan Mulvaney delivered a spirited performance as Mortimer, the only relatively sane Brewster. From Mulvaney's dramatic movements to his animated facial expressions he was able to rivet the audience with a fantastical amount of physical comedy. Beside him were Macartney Greer and Kim Estenson who were enchanting as Mortimer's aged aunt's Abby and Martha respectively. Greer and Estenson were able to transform into these feisty women before the audience with an outstanding level of chemistry. The honesty and dedication to their roles was evident and well worth their while in the end.
Vaysha Ramsey-Anderson's Lt. Rooney and the Police Women of Brooklyn each delivered an entertaining performance that never in the least failed to make the audience smile. But the real stand out supporting cast member was Teddy, Mortimer's youngest brother who believes he is Theodore Roosevelt. Micah Price's performance as the flamboyant Teddy was never dull, as he constantly brought energy to the stage and never once failed to make the audience weak with laughter. Though some of the lines were often repeated, Price was able to keep each delivery fresh and new before sooner or later "charging" back up to his room.
Myriah Kissel and the light crew were creatively able to dim the lights when they were supposed to be off in the Brewster house without completely blinding the audience from what was happening. The lighting was coupled with the excellent set designed and developed by Megan Graff who masterfully created a versatile and well-built set for this single set show. Even with some small microphone problems, the cast and crew kept complete control of their show.
Colerain's performance of "Arsenic and Old Lace" took anyone who was able to view it a place of laughter and joyful bewilderment. The cast and crew were able to truly turn in a well-rounded performance of a difficult production with apparent ease.

The wife of a New York City man who was pushed onto subway tracks to his death by a mumbling stranger says she and her husband had argued before the tragedy.
Ki-Suck Han of Queens died at a hospital shortly after being hit by an oncoming train Monday at the Times Square subway station.
His widow tells the New York Post she tried to call him after their 11 a.m. fight, but he never picked up.
The Post says one of its freelance photographers was on the platform as the ordeal unfolded. Umar Abbasi says he tried to warn the subway operator by flashing his camera. One of his photos shows Han on the tracks, arms on the platform, looking at the train as it bears down on him.

This is great stuff! A bridge at module system level is a good start. What we need next are bridges for higher level APIs (for example the Java Model to reuse development modules).
After Sun's Glassfish developers picked OSGI instead of NetBeans Module System it was to be expected that NetBeans will support OSGI somehow and possibly migrate towards it. The two module systems are quite similar (minus the specific cornercase situations for each of them) but I'm glad we have Jaroslav Tulach implementing this. It's not as easy as he makes it appear.
I would say this also has a good stategic position in regard to the Oracle merger. Oracle already has noticed they were diluting their efforts by supporting too many IDEs and launched JSR 198 long ago. Not sure what came out of that but they will soon be in position to introduce better interoperability among IDEs.
thanks for adding the links above..i needed more information about it
I'm impressed. Thanks for sharing that video.

Suggesting Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin have encountered writer's block (likely while trying to find a way to write out Will Smith's character – now that the Fresh Prince has let the boys know he's not coming back to kick E.T's ass some more), or that Fox likes a little more story with their special-effects these days (it definitely helped cement "X-Men : Days of Future Past"'s as May's leading box-office champ), Carter Blanchard has been hired to do a rewrite on the "Independence Day" sequel.
Fox have already committed to a release date on the follow-up to the 1996 cash-cow, so it might simply have come down to finding someone who could type more than 300 words a minute.
Emmerich's busy on another film at the moment ("Stonewall") so he probably just hasn't had time to rework the script, while Devlin's probably busy… negotiating with stunt-men.
Blanchard's credits include upcoming tentpole fare like "Spyhunter" and Mark Millar's "Kindergarten Heroes".
While Smith won't be reprising his cocky pilot role for the sequel, original alien-busters Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman are said to be locks.
"Independence Day 2″ is skedded for a July 1, 2016 bow.

Reading Camp is a program designed to give tools and hope for a better future to 4th and 5th graders lagging behind their peers in reading skills. Professional teachers conduct the program, assisted by volunteer "Cadets," older high school and college students (ages 17-22) from synod congregations with an interest in elementary education. "Cadets" work with the teachers they are partnered with for 3 hours each morning and interact with students throughout the day on general camp activities, including leading "Read Aloud" story sessions each evening.

Join us for a canoe, bicycle, and tenting adventure around and between our 2 northern camps. The week begins at Lake Luther with 1 day biking the 25 miles to Lutherwald. We will then travel back to Lake Luther on the Pigeon River for a 2-day canoe trip including an overnight at a campground along the river. Participants will need a good multi-speed bike and helmet. This program is not designed as a serious athletic challenge. The focus is fun! $325. 2014 Flyer
A great first camp experience for those entering grades 1-3. A shortened week allows four busy days of general camp activities geared towards a young age group. Enrollment is limited in order to keep living groups small and allow for extra individual attention. Activities: arts and crafts, singing, Bible study, games, swimming. $180.
A Christian camp experience filled with all our great activities - only the kids come home at night. Parents arrange daily morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up times to fit their schedule (normal 8:00am and 5:00pm). Campers have a full day of camp activities and make new friends as they are lead and supervised throughout the day by our trained college-aged summer staff. $180 2014 Flyer.
A lively week packed with activities for upper elementary youth entering grades 4-6: hiking, swimming, arts and crafts, Bible study, singing, campfire programs, small group and all camp games. $325.
A week geared for young teens entering grades 7-9, involving more advanced activities and more individual choice than for younger campers. Activities included: Bible study, canoe/hiking trips, swimming, a cookout/campout, campfire programs, and special evening activities. $325.
A program for "learning-abled" kids who are lagging behind their peers in reading skills and "just aren't getting it." Reading camp provides a fun and innovative atmosphere where one professional teacher (assisted by a high school or college-aged "cadet") works with three students. For three hours each morning, students rotate through 6 different Reading Centers where one particular reading skill is practiced. Reading Camp is not an educational "boot camp" but true Lutherwald camp experience with swimming, boating, hiking, arts and crafts, games, music, campfire programs and a chance to make new friends. 2014 Flyer
Reading Camp is a free week of camp for those entering grades 4-5 and for grades 6-7 who come recommended by their teachers and parents.
A Sunday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon camp week for younger campers (grade 1-3) where grandparents are welcome at camp. Our college-aged staff run the program. Grandparents can be a background presence with no responsibilities, just a chance to be near their grandchildren and attend meals and campfire programs with them. Grandparents stay in comfortable accomodations at Kempski Retreat Center. $105/grandparent 2014 Flyer

One of the most asked about services currently lacking from the Android platform has been Netflix and will likely continue to be Netflix for the foreseeable future. Netflix announced on Friday that they are getting closer to a release on Android, but that security and piracy concerns have made it difficult to lock down a common Digital Rights Management (DRM) system, meaning they can't get major studios on board yet.
They did give a little bit of positive news though, saying that after working in a device-by-device manor, they will be releasing a Netflix app to select Android handsets in early 2011. They didn't specify which devices, but I'm sure we can guess what some of those will be…
We live to get Netflix on new devices, so the current lack of an Android-generic approach to quickly get to all Android devices is frustrating. But I'm happy to announce we'll launch select Android devices that will instantly stream from Netflix early next year. We will also continue to work with the Android community, handset manufacturers, carriers, and other service providers to develop a standard, platform-wide solution that allows content providers to deliver their services to all Android-based devices. I'll keep you updated on our progress.
Ummm…finally? Anyone want to start a list of devices? Droid X, EVO, Incredible, Galaxy S lineup, Galaxy Tab?

text: ABC Unmasked: Enhanced Video Shows Zimmerman Head Gash Print article Send a Tip by John Sexton 2 Apr 2012 post a comment Today, ABC has made an astounding about-face on a story related to the Trayvon Martin shooting. Less than a week after proclaiming that new video showed no signs of injury to Zimmerman the night of the shooting, ABC has now released an enhanced version of the same video. The new video clearly shows a bloody gash on the back of Zimmerman's head. Here's the lead of the story ABC published Wednesday March 28th: A police surveillance video taken the night that Trayvon Martin was shot dead shows no blood or bruises on George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who says he shot Martin after he was punched in the nose, knocked down and had his head slammed into the ground. [...] In the video an officer is seen pausing to look at the back of Zimmerman's head, but no abrasions or blood can be seen in the video and he did not check into the emergency room following the police questioning. Obviously, the bombshell ABC is touting here is that the video appears to contradict claims that Zimmerman was injured and acted in self-defense. They present the video as evidence to the contrary. By that evening, the Daily Caller and others began to question what was visible in the video. By Friday March 30, just two days after ABC published its scoop, MSNBC ran a story contradicting ABC and showing evidence of an injury on Zimmerman's head. Now, five days after their big scoop, ABC has posted new video under the headline "George Zimmerman: Enhanced Video Shows Injury." As you'll see, ABC makes no mention of the fact that their previous story was wrong. And thus far, ABC does not appear to have published a print version of the story. Keep in mind that the claim Zimmerman was injured was widely known before ABC posted the video. In other words, they knew what they should be looking for in the clip. And yet it seems they were unable to find it for five days, even though other media outlets pointed it out within 48 hours. At this point, ABC needs to explain why it took them until today to correct the record. Enhancing 4-5 minutes of video is not a five day job. This is one of several missteps by major media in this case. Earlier, NBC deliberately miscut George Zimmerman's 911 call in a way that insinuated George Zimmerman was profiling Trayvon Martin because he was black. NBC has now launched an internal investigation to find out how the botched audio wound up on "The Today Show." Notice that in both instances the initial media error works against Zimmerman. Suspicion of Zimmerman's story is certainly appropriate, but what ABC and NBC have done goes well beyond that. They have carelessly -- or deliberately -- put out false and misleading information in a way that pours fuel on the firestorm surrounding this case. That may be good for ratings. But it's unprofessional, and worse, deeply unethical. ON BREITBART TV Now ABC News Says Police Video Confirms Zimmerman's Injuries

I think I got this thing figured out. Instead of hating on people who want to dominate maybe I should ask "Can't someone who wants to submit to their lover be allowed to be free?" The truth is about half the population wants to be subordinate and there is nothing wrong with that. Instead of expecting Dale or MWD to hold themselves to some sort of ideal (that I can't even achieve) maybe I should look up to them for admitting the world is how it is. We have liberty guys all over the place complaining about there not being enough ladies in the movement, but maybe libertarian men need to man up. Most women want a strong guy to rescue them, fix problems etc. I'll bet a feminine gay man is like that as well. We should sell subordinate people what they want instead of busting on them for being weak. I submit that maybe offering the bottoms what they are after, a supportive giving partner, would be a good sell. Time will tell if humanity can have a population raised with the NAP in mind and end up in equal partnerships having successful families, but that isn't the world we live in right now.
I never understood why Tops, either Kink or gay, seem to get all defensive when questioned.
If you are a alpha sort of person people just know.
As far as sex parteners go, I think it would be a little wacky to discuss a complete blocking of the sex before I did it with a new person, but if you have pigonholed yourself into only certain acts I guess I can see the practical reasons for having a honest approach.
Discuss. Why is Dale's video funny, and mine slightly disgusting? Or do they make the same point?
Both videos are about happy submissive people.
But once again, I feel the need to distinguish between the meaning of "bottom" in the straight terminology and the gay terminology. It doesn't mean submissive in the gay world. It specifically refers to a sexual position. A bottom in the gay world just means someone who enjoys getting fucked. What a lot of str8 guys will never learn is that the male anatomy is receptive to a lot of sexual pleasure from that act that has nothing to do with domination and submission. Bottoms can actually be dominant. We even have a term for them: "power bottoms".

MIAMI (AP) - A public hearing held in South Florida drew both praise and heavy criticism for the state's new academic standards.
The Common Core State Standards are in the process of being implemented in Florida. They also have been adopted by 44 other states and the District of Columbia.
The standards were developed by a coalition of state leaders and establish what students should know from one grade to the next. They're designed to ensure all students are college-ready by the time they graduate.
Gov. Rick Scott has called for three hearings on the standards amid outcry from tea party Republicans who say the standards represent a federal intrusion.
The first hearing was held in Tampa and the second Wednesday in Davie. The third will take place Thursday in Tallahassee.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will take over the responsibility of matching commercial airline passengers' names to the government's terrorism watch list, according to a final rule issued today by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
"By bringing watch list matching responsibilities in-house," the DHS statement said, "TSA can better remedy possible misidentifications when a traveler's name is similar to one found on a watch list."
Previously, commercial airlines were responsible for checking the names of its passengers prior to boarding against watch lists provided by the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center. But legislation passed in 2004 made DHS responsible for assuming those responsibilities.
Under the program, known as Secure Flight, TSA "will receive passenger and certain non-traveler information, conduct watch list matching against the No Fly and Selectee portions of the Federal government's consolidated terrorist watch list, and transmit a boarding pass printing result back to aircraft operators," according to the final rule.
TSA has received a storm of criticism for innocent people's names appearing on the terrorism watch list, including Congressman John Lewis (D-GA). In April, The Washington Times reported that even federal air marshals have found their names on the terrorism watch list and have been denied boarding privileges.
The agency blamed the airlines for doing a poor job at matching names to the appropriate list. The terrorism watch list contains three categories: the "no-fly" list, where the passenger is barred from boarding the airplane; the "selectee" list, where the passenger must submit to secondary screening before boarding; and the "cleared" list, for those whose names were previously on the list but which were found to present no risk. Earlier this year, the Associated Press reported Rep. Lewis' name appeared on the "cleared" list.
DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff says there will be fewer mistakes with TSA running the program.
"Secure Flight is a critical tool that will further improve aviation security and fix the major customer service issue of watch list misidentifications, a frustratingly common occurrence for travelers under the existing airline-based system," he said. "We know that threats to our aviation system persist, and Secure Flight will help us better protect the traveling public while creating a more consistent passenger prescreening process, ultimately reducing the number of misidentification issues."
The program will be implemented in two phases. Early next year, TSA officials will match passenger manifests to the terrorism watch list on all domestic flights, which will be extended to all international flights by the end of that year.
Although DHS believes the government will reduce the number of mismatches, it will continue to provide redress through its Traveler Redress Inquiry Program.

Everywhere you looked around the vast Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor on Saturday, there was a photo demanding to be taken.
From aerial views of the 'Big House' to close-ups of the action between Manchester United and Real Madrid, the variety of imagery was almost endless.
Throw in the Reds' reunion with Real ace Cristiano Ronaldo, some great goals, a record crowd for a soccer match in the United States and even a couple of local American footballers (Detroit Lions' Ziggy Ansah and Ndamukong Suh) and you have the ingredients for an image-packed gallery.
