Montgomery, Alabama.
The Red Lady of Pratt
many years now, the Pratt dormitory has been the persistent haunt of a
ghostly spirit known as the "Red Lady." While no one knows the source
of the disturbances for sure, the legend suggests that the "Red Lady"
was a quiet, unpopular, and lonely student.
Try as she might she found
it virtually impossible to make friends. In fact the more she tried,
the more she was ridiculed and ostracized (teens can be very cruel and
stupid at times). They also found humor in the fact that she never wore
any color but red, and taunted her over that as well.
To this day, students have reported
surprise, late night encounters with a young woman dressed in red who
seems to quickly vanish through closed doors and even through walls. In
recent times, and in a few isolated cases, a chilling blast of air rips
through rooms in the dorm, and strange creaking sounds come from various
corners of the room when ever malicious students pick on, or harass
Ghost on the Green:
addition to the "Red Lady," there is another ghost on campus. The "Ghost
on the Green" appears to be the specter of a young man. This legend
offers that a young man was shunned by a girlfriend that had criticized
him for being too needy and too clinging. After she broke off the
relationship, the young man tried and tried to get her to see him again.
She repeatedly refused. Unable to cope with the rejection, the young man
went to the campus green in the dead of night and shot himself in the
head. While it was certainly a tragic event for the college, life goes
on and soon the campus was back to normal . . . well almost anyway.
While no one has reported seeing vaporous figures or glowing orbs, many
people claim he still walks the green. Crossing the green at night has
become a very nervous topic of discussion at Huntington. Each year,
quite a number of students report getting very spooked, feeling
something suddenly tugging on their clothes, mussing up their hair, and
even blowing in their ear.

University of Notre Dame: South
Bend, Indiana
Founded over one hundred years ago,
The University of Notre Dame,
has a long and grand tradition of academic excellence. As one might
imagine its list of alumni is long and varied with a good number of
scholars, athletes, and celebrities, in the mix. As a natural occurrence
of life, many of these past alumni have crossed over into the afterlife
while other, more restless spirits, have decided to linger.
example, the ghost of the famous Notre Dame football player George Gipp
is said to haunt the stage and greenrooms at the universitys dramatic
theater department in Washington Hall.
The ghost has been know to materialize momentarily from time to time and
frighten students working on stage sets late into the night. In most
cases the student gets a very strange sense that someone is standing
behind them, when they glance over their shoulder they catch a fleeting
glimpse of the spirit. At other times, people report strange
unexplainable noises, like small metal objects being dropped and then
scrapped up.
While Gipp was certainly a great football player, he was also known as a
bit of the gambler and party hardy type. In Gipps day, Washington Hall
served as a mens dormitory, and was the place where George enjoyed much
of his rowdy free-wheeling youth.
long before the university came into existence, the Patawatami Indians
inhabited the area and the shorelines of what is now known as the St.
Joseph River. The Patawatami lived here for hundreds of years and they
buried their dead in the area of the campus. It is believed that the
tribe still inhabits the ground. Ghostly images of these Native
Americans, especially in the area around Columbus Hall, have been
reported over the years, by many credible witnesses.
Columbus Hall is
one of the original, early buildings on the campus, on numerous
occasions the ghostly figures and their spectral horses, have been seen
riding up and down it's stone front steps.

of Dayton -
The Theta Phi Alpha House
According to reported accounts, the Theta Phi
Alpha house is hunted by what is believed to be the ghost of a older man,
who, in a strange sort of way seems to watch over the girls. The history
of the house and the nature of the haunting is not known, however, a
possible explanation for the haunting could be that the ghost is the
departed father of a past resident of the home.
For quite a number of years now, the girls who have lived in the home have
reported similar recurring phenomena. Heavy objects, such as
furniture, are mysteriously re-arranged while the girls are out of their
rooms, and at times various other heavy items are moved or tipped
over. Small objects frequently turn up missing, but after a few
minutes of searching, are usually found in rather odd places. Lights
inexplicably turn on or off on their own, at just about any time during
the day or night, as if some unseen person is merely walking in or out of
the rooms.
many instances the girls claim that they can literally feel a presence, a
somewhat uneasy feeling or a sense that they are just not alone. A
frequent unnerving experience is that a cold spot occurs in various parts
of the house from no apparent physical cause. Often times, if the
girls go to bed on a night when these cold spots are occurring in the
house, they report that they wake up in the morning feeling strangely
drained of all their energies and feel like theyve had no sleep at all.

State University
Normal, IL.
The library at Williams Hall, is said to be haunted by the ghost of Angie
Milner, the schools first official librarian. This haunting tale
is quite reminiscent of the opening library scenes in the popular movie
Ghost Busters. (Wonder where they got the idea?)
years, and on many occasions, students have reported incidents where books
have been mysteriously pushed (by an unseen hand) from stacks or from shelves, one by one,
and onto the floor with a loud bang. At other times, library workers have been startled to find
books arranged in unusual and precarious stacks. (Ohhh no, not
phantom book stacking?)
On occasion, people studying in the more secluded parts of the library
have been startled by a sudden icy chill on the back of their neck and a
fleeting glimpses of a vaporous or misty shadow, always just
out of the corner of their eye at the edge of their peripheral vision. When they turn toward the direction of the
movement, nothing is ever really there that they can fully describe.
Paranormal researchers have studied, scanned, and taken electronic
readings in Williams Hall on several occasions. The results certainly
support the theory that there are some rather interesting energy anomalies
present in certain areas of the library.
At one time students used to dare each other to spend the night alone in
the dark library of Williams Hall and seeking out the ghost by whispering
"where are you Angie Milner?" Apparently, few ever lasted
the night. (Don't even think about doing this without
permission, University officials will quickly have you brought up on
charges these days.)

College - Olivet Michigan
This quaint little Michigan village was founded
in 1844 and around the same time, one of the more prominent residents
established the small Liberal Arts College of Olivet. Today the campus is
quite charming consisting of many old and original buildings with a
long, colorful, and mysterious history. Over the last 150 years there have
been countless eyewitness accounts of vaporous apparitions and objects
materializing and passing through the walls. As convincing evidence that
something very unusual occurs at Olivet, photographs have even been taken
by startled students and paranormal researchers alike. In a well known
photograph taken in one of the old sorority houses, the image of a ghostly
face can be seen coming right out of the wall.
At Shipherds Hall,
campus security guards have been repeatedly shaken up during semester
breaks by the sounds of faint music coming from somewhere in the building.
Every time they search the deserted building, they are unable to locate the
phantom sounds. In several instances, they return to their other duties,
only to hear the eerie music again.
accounts reported at the college seem to have a consistent theme; objects of all
descriptions seem to be moved around and rearranged inexplicably. On many
occasions students return to their rooms in the evenings and find their
things moved or hidden. In several incidents roommates have had heated
arguments over this, each accusing the other, only to be stopped
mid-debate when they see an object slide across a desk or curtains
rustling (when no breeze is present). These strange ghostly events are not
isolated to the college grounds, they are also reported by town residents
who occupy the older homes throughout the town.

Modern politicians share colorless language of transparency
Any old-timer will tell you there was an era when jargon did not infect politics.
Everybody was straightforward with the spoken word, even if he was a sidewinder in the halls of government.
Richard Nixon was a young vice president when he gave his no-nonsense assessment of what the public should expect from politicians as a group.
"The issue of honesty in government is not a partisan one. You are going to find dishonest people. Some of them are going to be Republicans as well as Democrats," Nixon said.
Plainspoken as they come, he might have foreseen the Watergate scandal 20 years in his future.
Nowadays, politicians are not so inclined to talk about honesty in government. Their lexicon is different.
Transparency is their preferred term. Openness, the poor cousin of transparency, gets its share of play. And accountability is more popular than openness.
Some modern politicians prefer the double-barrel approach to these terms.
"We must operate state government in an open and transparent manner," Gov. Susana Martinez once said.
State Sen. Howie Morales, D-Silver City, has had his doubts about progress in that regard.
"I think that it has become less transparent than it has been in the past," he once said. "That needs to change because our voters, our constituents and our taxpayers deserve to know what's going on with our government."
Nobody can question the value of government transparency, or can she?
State Sen. Linda Lopez, D-Albuquerque, wondered last year about Republican Martinez's motives for hiring people to webcast legislative committee hearings.
"In addition to transparency, most of it will be used for campaigning," Lopez told the Albuquerque Journal,
State Attorney General Gary King broke down the intricacies of the new lexicon.
"My test for government transparency is, if you're thinking about doing something as a government official and you would be embarrassed to tell your mother you did it, then you shouldn't do it," King said.
Sage advice. After all, moms have long been the standard for those who write about politicians, as in: "If you're mother says she loves you, get another source."
Martinez, Morales, Lopez and King are all running for governor in 2014, so discussions about transparency are second nature to them. But the master politician of the last century might not have known what they were talking about.
Ronald Reagan was more direct with language. Upon becoming governor of California in 1967, he made no mention of transparency in a bare-knuckles inauguration speech.
"We can provide jobs for all our people who will work and we can have honest government at a price we can afford. Indeed, unless we accomplish this, our problems will go unsolved, our dreams unfulfilled and we will know the taste of ashes," Reagan said.
Twenty months into a four-year term, Reagan was running for president. Perhaps he had not been transparent enough about his national aspirations while campaigning for governor.
Transparency and accountability no doubt are good for the country, but they have turned our politicians into robotic orators. We seem to be without officeholders who can explain a budget problem or a dire circumstance with a pithy line.
Abraham Lincoln was one who never bothered with 50-cent words to turn out a million-dollar sentence.
"I can make more generals," he said, "but horses cost money."
His language was transparent to all.

My LUSH Jar
Just a short & sweet post today. I thought I would show you how I store my LUSH bath products. I needed something that kept them dry & I wanted to be able to see what I had. This Jar is quite large, I need to buy a few more so I can fill it (any excuse to shop in LUSH). It reminds me of an old school sweetie jar. I bought it from Wilkinsons for £6 & I have bought my mum one for her Christmas and I am planning on putting a few of her favourite LUSH products in. I know she will love it.
How do you store you LUSH products?
10 Responses to "My LUSH Jar"
I do the same thing with a jar I got from Laura Ashley in the sale but I always find that if I leave it too long, the scents kind of mingle.. Maybe it's just me! <3
Very clever idea ! I love lush , so gorgeous
How cute is this! I love this idea for storing those gorgeous products, it would be a waste to keep them hidden away.
This is such a cute idea! Mine just sit wrapped up on a shelf, I've been trying to think of something to do with them
I also love storing my things like that! :))
I love the jar, it is so cute. I now need one haha. Great idea to keep your Lush goodies in there, I bet the jar smells gorgeous

Trying To Find A Business Model That Works
Last night's panel produced by Mediabistro.com and sponsored by Demand Studios focused on finding a business model for news on the Web but — like most panels of its kind — no real conclusions were reached.
The panel was moderated by BusinessWeek columnist Jon Fine, and featured (in photo from left to right) "rogue girl blogger" Maegan Carberry, NYU professor Jay Rosen, Mediaite.com Editor at Large Rachel Sklar and NewJerseyNewsroom.com's Matt Romanoski.
Moderator Fine started the panel off with some scary statics — comparing the amount of ad sales money generated by the New York Times versus the Huffington Post. The Times made over $1 billion in ad revenue last year. he said. How can an online media company compete with that?
Some suggestions were tossed around, including asking readers to pay for content. Sklar suggested that media companies should make it easy for readers to purchase access to information, replicating the "buy" button on Amazon.com or iTunes that is connected to saved credit card information. She also suggested charging for "freemium" or extra content, and said she wouldn't mind paying a few dollars a month to use Twitter, Flickr or YouTube.
"I wouldn't mind paying for Twitter because they I would own my Tweets if anything ever went wrong," she said.

We honestly don't know
where to start with this one, except at the beginning. Chicago city
officials confirmed Tuesday that an intoxicated man was able to
sneak through a security gate at Midway Airport this weekend, where
he proceeded to then take a stroll along the runways.
A Southwest Airlines employee spotted 22-year-old Mark Mechniek
Sunday afternoon, standing between two runways. The employee
alerted the control tower, who sent out several security officials
to remind Mechniek -- with force -- that he was NOT free to move
around the airport.
Runway 4-Right was closed during the security breach, Chicago
Aviation Department spokeswoman Wendy Abrams told the
The security -- ahem -- guard who was manning the gate Mechniek
walked through has been placed on paid administrative leave. The
officer has been on the job since July 2001, Abrams added, and
officials believe Mechniek was able to walk through the gate while
the guard's attention was diverted by a vehicle leaving through the
gate at the time.
As for Mechniek, once he sobered up he was charged with reckless
conduct, and trespassing on airport property. He also confessed to
being intoxicated.
Southwest Airlines has expressed concern over the security lapse
-- not because of any threat Mechniek might have possessed to an
aircraft ("the blast from the jet would blow [him] over like a
leaf," one pilot colorfully said) but rather by who else might
be able to gain access in a similar manner. Say, someone with a
shoulder-fired missile.
"We leave the security of the airport up to the Aviation
Department and the [Transportation Security Administration]," said
airline spokeswoman Marilee McInnis. "We have full faith in their
abilities and the job they do. In a situation of this type, we hope
this will be used as a learning opportunity for the future."
Perhaps Mechniek -- a Polish citizen who reportedly lives about
a block from the inner-city airport -- was interested in buying the airport, and
simply wanted to have a look around?

The Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation
In 1972 Ernst von Siemens, the grandson of the industrial entrepreneur Werner von Siemens, established the foundation that bears his name. Every year the Foundation awards the Ernst von Siemens Music Prize to a composer, performer, or scholar who has made outstanding contributions to the world of music. Known as the "Nobel Prize of Music," the award has increasingly drawn international attention over the years and will be accompanied by a € 250,000 cash endowment in 2013.
In total the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation is awarding 3 million euros. This year around 2,6 million euros are being distributed to support contemporary music projects in more than twenty countries all over the world. Along with commissioned works, concerts and events are also supported, as well as educationally valuable projects that give children and adolescents access to contemporary music. Competitions, academies and workshops where music students and young composers, conductors and instrumentalists can demonstrate their skills, individual academic publications and complete editions also sponsored. In addition, numerous festivals receive yearly grants from the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation in recognition of their contribution to contemporary music.
The Foundation's Board of Trustees includes the composers Wolfgang Rihm, Peter Ruzicka and Isabel Mundry, the musicologist Hermann Danuser (Humboldt University, Berlin), and the cultural managers Thomas von Angyan (Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, Vienna), Ilona Schmiel (Beethovenfest Bonn), Nikos Tsouchlos (Megaron Athens) and Winrich Hopp (musica viva, Munich). According to the Foundation's bylaws, the chairmanship of the Board of Supervisors is held by the president of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts, and one of its members must be a descendent of the Siemens family.
To date there have been thirty-eight recipients of the Ernst von Siemens Music Prize. The laureates include Benjamin Britten, Olivier Messiaen, Mstislav Rostropovich, Witold Lutosławski, Luciano Berio, Hans Werner Henze, György Ligeti, Claudio Abbado, Maurizio Pollini, Helmut Lachenmann, György Kurtág, and Daniel Barenboim, to name only a few.

New Seizures

On the 11th of this month(March) I started having seizures. Unknown why I am having them.

Hi, Jen! I am so sorry to hear about your recent health issues, especially the siezures and migraines. What a horrible combination!
I've thought about you so often lately, and have been checking around the village in search of any newest messages you've written. Lo and behold, I surely didn't expect what I just read! I wish I lived closer so I could pop over and visit with you.
I'm glad you are staying with your mom under her watchful eye when these siezures striie. I'll be saying some prayers that the EEG you'll have with the specialist on the 16th will pinpoint the problem and you'll get some positive answers.
I will bookmark this board so I can come back often to check up on you. Please know that I'm thinking of you, Jen, and wishing you all the best. Do keep us posted on what the doctors find out as soon as you know! Hugest HUGGS....

Twisted Sister was huge in Long Island but no where else. Outside of the Island, no one really heard of them. A friend of mine persuaded me to go out and see them. When Dee came out and the lights went on, I was like, 'What the fuck is this?' After I gave it a chance, I thought, 'Hey they are pretty good.' I started talking to Fatty and Hillary in between sets and they became good acquaintances.
I would bullshit with Fatty more than anyone else because we had the same sense of humor and a lot in common. He became my mentor as far as rock and roll goes. I had a strong desire to learn what went into setting up the stage. Kev showed me a few things here and there. John Russo was the guitar tech at the time, he also showed me a few things. So little by little, I was taking it all in.
Now we are getting into the winter of 1978-79. Twisted Sister starts their assault on the suburbs. John Russo leaves and Mark Mendoza takes over guitar duties. One of the first shows Mark works is Emit's Inn in Jamesburg, New Jersey. I think there was about 30 people in the audience. Dee was trying everything to get them motivated. Nothing was working (send in the nuns), so he got down off the stage, stayed behind the police barriers they had everywhere they went, and started working the "crowd" in his own special way. Well, one of the hillbillies didn't like it at spit at Dee. Dee flipped out and took a swing at the jackass. Out of no where comes this giant fuzz ball of hair. Mendoza picks the guy up by the throat, escorts him out the door and animalizes him a tad.
Well, the show's over and the feeling was this guy was gonna come back with some mountain folk. It was time for Altini to give a hand to pack up and get the fuck out of there.
Until next time,

Part 2: Animal At Emit's

History's Creative Thinkers in Humorous GIFs and Smart T-Shirts
If you're anything like me, you're completely obsessed with the creative figures in history.

You might lose yourself for hours down a rabbit hole of Wikipedia exploration initiated by Isaac Asimov's affinity for small spaces. That's why I think this series of animated GIFs will not fail to amuse… nor will the exquisite series of T-shirts that inspired them. [Read more…]
Momentage: A Community for the New Creatives
When we all saw the awesome new idea of Instagram hitting the scene like it did a few years ago, it has always been hard to imagine someone creating something to rival it. While some have ripped off the idea, designed it somewhat differently, and slapped a new name on it, feeling like they've added to the conversation, in reality, they may be missing the point. They're just repeating the person who spoke before them. This is not the case with San Francisco based startup Momentage. Momentage is a community for the new creatives. [Read more…]
Brock Davis Turns the Ordinary Into Extraordinary on Instagram
When life hands you lemons, some make lemonade, but rather than go the traditional route Brock Davis might hand the lemon a guitar and some sunglasses and put it on a graphic tee. Davis' ability to constantly think out of the box has helped him create ground-breaking work as a creative director, gaining international acclaim, winning just about every prestigious award in advertising possible. When he is not working on ads or editorial work, the Minneapolis-based artist keeps his creative juices flowing with t-shirt design, stop motion vines, and the clever iphone photography shown here. There is no such thing as ordinary through the eyes of Brock Davis and he shows there is more to everything than what meets the eye. [Read more…]

Imaginative Pairings of Everyday Objects with Simple Illustrations by Javier Pérez
Sometimes everyday objects can have more than their intended purpose, especially when in the hands of creative artist Javier Pérez. Much like the works of Alex Solis, Perez layers simple objects with marker drawings to give them new life.

Alice C. Linsley
No. Abraham was known by the Hittites as a "prince of God among us" (Gen. 23:6). He is a pivotal figure of biblical history. He is the ancestor of many peoples and he is a descendant of Nilo-Saharan peoples who dispersed across the ancient world. His ancestors were known by various names: Habiru (Hebrew); Horim (Horite); Shasu of Yahweh, Anu or Hanu (Ainu), and the Tera-neter (priest of God). Tera-neter refers to a ruler-priest of the Anu, a pre-dynastic people of the Upper Nile. Abraham's father has the title Tera, which means priest. The Ainu spread abroad, taking their religious beliefs and practices with them. They migrated to Northern Japan and into Eastern Canada. In the Japanese language "tera" means priest.
This essay responds to the comment made by Fr. Robert Hart at The Continuum that Abraham was a pagan who converted to monotheism. Fr. Hart, who I respect very much, believes that Abraham was a idol worshiper. He writes: "Abram was a pagan, a worshiper of idols, until God revealed Himself to him, and revealed His purpose through him. The text is clear that he had, until then, worshiped his father's gods."
First, it is incorrect to apply the term "pagan" to Abraham since the term comes from ancient Rome. Pagan refers to adherence to the old gods after the Christianization of Roman towns. (I've written about the contribution of Biblical Anthropology in the determination of anachronisms here.)
Second, the Online Etymological Dictionary explains that "pagan," from classical Latin means "villager, rustic, civilian," from pagus "rural district," originally "district limited by markers," related to pangere "to fix, fasten." Pagan, like villain, boor, rustic, expresses a class hierarchy from a time when common country folk were regarded by the urban elite as being of low birth, having rude manners, and lacking urbanity and sophistication. This doesn't apply to Abraham who maintained an army of at least 300 trained warriors, controlled a substantial holding between Hebron and Beersheba, negotiated water treaties with rulers, and maintained two wives and two concubines in separate households.
The verse to which the Fr. Hart is referring is Joshua 24:2: In olden times, your forefathers – Terah, father of Abraham and father of Nahor – lived beyond the Euphrates and worshiped other gods.
The short answer to the question: "Was Abraham an idol worshiper?" is no! Fr. Hart has been reading commentaries influenced by the Talmud and midrash. Matthew Henry perpetuates the notion that Abraham worshiped idols in his commentary on Genesis. He writes, "God made choice of Abram, and singled him out from among his fellow-idolaters..."
We should exercise suspicion about such claims. Scripture does not designate Abraham as an idol worshiper. Other than the Joshua 24 statement, which has another explanation, there is not a shred of evidence that Abraham or his father were idolaters.
Abraham's calling does not constitute a turning away from the tradition of his Horite forefathers (Horim). Abraham's people did not worship idols. They were priests of the Proto-Gospel and recognized as unique and especially pure in their worship and religious practices.
This peculiar verse: "In olden times, your forefathers – Terah, father of Abraham and father of Nahor – lived beyond the Euphrates and worshiped other gods" must be understood in the context of the Deuteronomist account, which begins in Deuteronomy and ends in II Kings. These books share a common concern with idolatry and recognize that on that side of the Euphrates, people worshiped the moon as equal to the sun. This is historically accurate. The moon god was honored in Ur and Haran, but never among the Horites, and Terah was a Horite.
The implication is that Terah fell into worshiping contrary to Horite tradition while living "beyond the Euphrates." This represents the Bible's criticism of Asian dualism in which the sun and moon were regarded as equals.
In the binary worldview of the Horites the sun was regarded as superior to the moon. This was not an arbitrary preference, but an observed reality since the sun gives light whereas the moon's light is reflective or refulgent. Horite recognition of the sun's superiority is expressed in Genesis 1:16: "God made the two great lights: the greater to rule the day, the lesser light to rule the night."
Further, in ancient Horite symbolism, Ra's right eye is represented by the sun and the left eye is represented by the moon. Together they are the eyes of Horus, but the moon eye is weaker than the sun eye. It is idolatry to regard the weaker as worthy of equal honor. This explains why Abraham's father was accused of idol worship in Joshua 24.
Many words that pertain to boundaries and measurements are derived from Horus: hour, horoscope, horologion, horotely and horizon. The association of Horus with the horizon is evident in Har-ma-khet, meaning "Horus of the Horizon." His being was one with his father Ra.
Both Teran and his father Nahor were of the Horite ruler-priest caste which is the foundation of the priesthood of Israel. They were servants of Elohiym, which is the plural form for God and a term associated with the divine council of Horites.
Nothing is said in Genesis about Abraham worshiping other gods. This verse represents a criticism of Terah's association with Asiatic dualism. The implication is that Terah fell into worshiping contrary to tradition of his Horite ancestors. Even this is no substantiated by the text since Terah means "priest" and he was clearly of the Horite ruler-priest caste.
The criticism apparently is based upon Joshua 24:2, a later assessment of the differences between the binary worldview of the Horites and the dualistic worldview that developed in regions to the east where the Horite priests migrated. In the Nilotic tradition of the Horites the Sun and the Moon were viewed as a binary set, the Sun being the greater of the two lights.
In a dualistic view, the Sun and the Moon are equals so both are worthy of veneration. In a binary view, one of the entities of the binary set is always superior and to venerate the lesser entity is a form of idol worship. This is what stands behind the Joshua 24 criticism of Terah's residing in Mesopotamia. Note is is not a criticism of Abraham.
There is no other verse in the Bible to support the view that Terah, a Horite ruler-priest, worshiped the Moon god contrary to the practice of his Kushite ancestors who regarded the Sun as the emblem of the Creator. Abraham's Horite ancestors didn't worship the moon was done in Ur and Haran, and later in Mecca. The Horite ruler-priests were devotees of Horus whose emblem was the Sun. Sometimes their God is named "Na-Pir" which means May the God of the Ha-piru/ Hebrew be exalted.
Genesis is about Abraham's Horite caste and the promise that the Creator made to their ancestors in Eden (Gen. 3:15) that a woman of their people would bring forth the Seed of God.

Review: Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish
Gemma didn't get on with the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser when she tried it in the past (due to breakouts). So it fell to me to assume testing duties for the Liz Earle range when we were sent a batch of goodies a month or two back.
My first impression was excellent, due to the care with which the items were packaged and the amount of information we were given to support our review. Obviously this is a marketing/PR rather than a retail experience, but if regular customer service is at a similar level, buyers can expect very lovingly-wrapped packages. (EDIT - I've been informed that the packages for customers and reviewers are made up by the same people, so you will get the same 5* treatment we did. )
Cleanse and Polish has been frequently compared to Eve Lom's famous balm-like cleanser. There are several botanical extracts common to both, including eucalyptus, chamomile and hops. But in terms of the finished products, they're pretty different. The fact that they both involve using a muslin cloth for removal is the main similarity. (And both are cleansers, but as we know, there's a world o' cleansing options out there from soap to scrubs.)
Instead, the product on my shelf I'd be most inclined to compare this to is Ponds Cold Cream (which I really like). Both are opaque, white creamy products that are applied liberally all over the face including the eyes, massaged on and then removed with a wet cloth/flannel.
Liz Earle's cleanser has a lighter texture than Ponds, and more botanical ingredients. It's also free of mineral oil, which a lot of people choose to avoid (and which is a major component of the Ponds). It's more expensive, but then so are the ingredients.
So far so good. The packaging of the Cleanse and Polish (and Liz Earle's brand in general) is dominated by a pale mint green colour, which is reflected in the colour on the edge of the muslin cloth (two are supplied with the 100ml C&P starter kit, £13). The tubular bottle has a great pump dispenser, which hygenically releases a suitable amount of product at the press of a button. Ergonomic packaging seems to be a strength for Liz Earle, e.g. the fantastic twist-top bottle of the accompanying toner (Instant Boost Skin Tonic).
Eucalyptus is definitely in the ascendancy with C&P. When I came to apply the product for the first time I was quite taken aback by how strongly mentholated it smelled. It's a testament to this brand's reputation that I was actually prepared to put something that smells like Tiger Balm or Olbas Oil on my EYELIDS.
Needless to say it has no negative mentholy effects on delicate tissues (otherwise you'd have heard about it much earlier in the review!) but it does smell quite strongly, which may affect the experience for some people.
As with Eve Lom's cleanser, the hot cloth removal process is very satisfying and leaves the skin with a very fresh, cleansed feeling. The additional step of the Instant Boost toner is a welcome one and makes the clean feeling even better, but I'd be happy to use the C&P alone as I think the muslin cloth step is enough if done thoroughly.
I had no trouble with breakouts using C&P over a few weeks, and it did remove makeup very effectively also. I wouldn't repurchase, however, as the scent of eucalyptus is way too strong for my taste, but if you like that kind of smell, I recommend trying this, especially as it won't break the bank at £11.50 for 100ml.
You can buy Liz Earle direct at lizearle.com or via QVC. It's also available in branches of John Lewis and at the Liz Earle London and Isle of Wight stores.

Have you used the No 7 Radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleanser? I've just started trying that and really like it, just wondering how they'd compare and whether it'd be worth spending a bit more on the Liz Earle?ReplyDelete
I haven't tried it, but I am aware of its existence. It's £5 voucher season so I may well indulge! Thanks for the recommendation.ReplyDelete
I love Cleanse & Polish! I've been using it since Jan. I keep recommending it to all my friends. I personally love the eucalyptus smell! It adds to the "decongesting" experience.ReplyDelete
I started using C&P about 10 years ago (purchased via QVC) and was an avid fan throughout my teenage years. These days however I do find it to be slightly too heavy for my skin to use on a daily basis. I am a huge Instant Boost Skin Tonic fan though!ReplyDelete

Introduction to Gas Discharge Tubes and Cold Cathode X-ray Tubes
|Gas DischargeTubes
A wide variety of gas discharge tubes were in use prior to the discovery (in 1895) of x-rays, e.g., Geissler, Crookes, Hittorf, and Lenard tubes. What these different tubes had in common was the fact that they were made of glass and were partially evacuated. A negatively charged cathode and a positively charged anode were located at opposite ends of tube. Depending on the type of tube, the residual gas might, or might not, be air. Geissler tubes, for example, usually employed noble gases.
The application of a high voltage, provided by a static machine or induction coil, caused any free ions (electrons and positively charged gas molecules) in the gas, such as those produced by cosmic rays, to migrate to the electrodes. Many of the electrons (originally referred to as cathode rays) accelerating towards the end of the tube where the anode was located picked up sufficient kinetic energy to cause further ionization of the residual gas. The resulting positively charged gas molecules (known as anode or channel rays) were accelerated towards the cathode. Upon striking the cathode, they dislodged electrons which joined the other electrons accelerating towards the anode.
|Cold Cathode X-ray Tubes
Following the discovery of x-rays, the design of these gas discharge tubes was altered so as to maximize and control their x-ray output.
The following diagram illustrates the key components of these so-called cold cathode x-ray tubes.
The original cathodes were flat plates that emitted a broad beam of cathode rays (electrons). The resulting x-rays issued from an extended region of the target upon which the cathode rays impinged. Such x-rays produced relatively poor images. It was soon recognized that better results would be obtained by focusing the cathode rays on a small region of the target. Because the resulting x-rays issued form a small point, the images produced by such x-rays were much sharper. To achieve this, the cathode was curved so that the focal point for the cathode rays was located on the target. For this reason, these tubes were often referred to as "focus tubes." The cathode was almost always positioned on the circumference of the central spherical portion of the tube. In almost all cases, the cathode is made from aluminum because it is less prone to "sputtering" than other metals. Sputtering is a volatilization of the metal - this volatilized metal will deposit on the glass of the tube and darken it.
In the first tubes used for x-ray production (e.g., Crookes and Hittorf tubes), the anode was located off to the side at one end of the tube. The cathode rays streamed past the anode and struck the glass end of the tube which served as the source of the x-rays. Unfortunately, glass could not hold up under prolonged use. One early solution was to position the anode (a flat metal plate) at the far end of the tube opposite the cathode. In this configuration, the anode served as the target of the cathode rays and the source of the x-rays. However, in the vast majority of the early x-ray tubes the target was an auxiliary anode, known as the "anticathode," that was positioned between the anode and cathode.
The term "anticathode" was coined by Silvanus Thompson to refer to the target upon which the cathode rays (electrons) impinged. Sometimes the anode and anticathode were one and the same, but in most of the early tubes they were distinct entities. The anticathode, electrically connected to the anode, usually came in from the side of the tube at a 45 degree angle. The earliest anticathodes were simply flat metal (e.g., platinum) plates. Later versions were more massive to facilitate heat dissipation. In many cases the anticathode consisted of two different metals bonded together: one metal, with a high atomic number (e.g., platinum, osmium, molybdenum, tungsten), served as the actual target for the cathode rays and source of x-rays, while the other metal (copper) helped dissipate heat.
There was no clear understanding as to why it was useful to have a separate anticathode (in addition to the anode). It seems that it was assumed to prolong the life of the tube and/or reduce variations in the gas pressure. In later tube designs (e.g., 1910+), the positions of the anode and anticathode were often reversed so that the anode came in from the side and the anticathode came in from the end of the tube opposite the cathode. Eventually, it was recognized that no useful purpose was served by employing both an "anode" and a separate "anticathode." The device that had been referred to as the anode was eliminated and the "anticathode" (i.e., the target) now became known as the anode.
Regulating Gas Pressure
For proper operation, the gas pressure inside the tube needed to be on the order of 0.2 to 0.5 mm Hg. A tube with higher pressures was too "soft" while a tube with a lower pressure had too "hard" a vacuum. Initially, outgassing from some of the tubes metal components (especially the aluminum) would soften the tube, but over time it was common for the gas pressure to decrease as the residual gas in the tube was adsorbed on the tube's walls and other components. This hardening of the tube reduced the intensity of the x-rays. At the same time, the x-rays became more penetrating (higher energy).
While the long term trend was towards a hardening of the tube, the pressure in the tubes could vary in an unpredictable fashion over the short term. For example, during use the gas pressure could increase temporarily as the glass wall of the tube heated up and released some of the adsorbed gas.
In general, two methods were employed to correct for the hardening of the tube:

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is hopeful he can convince Fabricio Coloccini to stay at St James' Park when they sit down for talks next week.
Coloccini has informed the club that he would like to leave Tyneside this month to return to his native Argentina because of personal reasons.
San Lorenzo are keen on signing Coloccini with his father currently working at the club.
Pardew admits the club will sit down and hold talks with Coloccini next week over his future and he remains optimistic the Newcastle skipper will stay put.
"We're going to sit down next week and hopefully iron out the issues and come to a conclusion where Colo stays," Pardew said.
"There's obviously a problem there in his life.
"The best way to deal with it at times is be on the football pitch and play your best football, and he certainly did that last week (against Norwich City)."

Hairstylist Mark Townsend gave Ellen Page a soft updo for her recent premiere.
THE STYLE A swept back style with a single, face-framing tendril
WHERE The premiere of Inception in Los Angeles
INSIDE SCOOP "Ellen Page decided to wear her hair up because we wanted to show off the detail of her gorgeous Yigal Azrouel dress," said stylist Mark Townsend, who created the look. He misted the hair with beach spray for "incredible texture" before gathering it into a large bun on the back of her head. "I left pieces falling around her face to keep it edgy and modern," he said.Read MoreLess

You are responding to the following review:
Submitted: 05-14-2011 by joe10155
I own 4 Victory Blast kayaks. I have read in many reviews that they are made of plastic. Polyethylene to be exact just like Perception, Wilderness Systems, Emotion and many other kayak manufacturers. If you want Kevlar kayaks go mortgage your house.
The Victory Blasts are a great basic model that tracks very well and my 280 lbs. son had no problem dragging. If you are dragging the bottom then you are in too shallow waters. They have bungee cords on front and back and adjustable foot braces. Very stable with lots of room for storage or just to move around in. Do not stand on seat for any reason. Try to straddle the kayak and set you butt down on the seat. You can get a rectangle shaped pad at Dicks for $5.00 and it comes in different colors. Go to Kmart and get the kayak oar for $29.00. I have stored my first 2 kayaks outside with no protection for 5 year now and the other 2 for 2 year and I live where we get all 4 seasons of heavy weather and there is nothing wrong with them other than lots of scratches on the bottom. I'm thinking about getting them sprayed with Rhino Tough just to see if it's worth it. But like I said before, many kayaks are made from polyethylene and they get scratched up just the same. I love my kayaks and so do my friends and family.

February is American Heart Month, and hospitals across the city are ramping up awareness of the leading cause of death in the country and the number-one killer of New York City women. NY1's Health reporter Erin Billups filed the following report.
Cardiologists at the Mount Sinai Hospital on the Upper East Side are focusing this American Heart Month on women.
"While one in 30 women die of breast cancer each year, one in three die of heart disease," says Beth Oliver, a registered nurse at Mount Sinai.
During 2010 in New York City, there were nearly 1,400 more cardiovascular-related deaths among women than men.
At Mount Sinai's recent "Women From The Heart" seminar, the hospital's top female heart doctors highlighted little-known red-flags for women.
"Pregnancy-related complications are other risk factors," says Dr. Maryann McLaughlin, the medical director of the Mount Sinai Cardiac Health Program.
McLaughlin says women who have had issues with high blood pressure, hypertension and diabetes during pregnancy have an increased risk of heart disease.
"What's important is that women with those complications tell their general doctors about that and more internists and cardiologists ask that as part of their history-taking," says McLaughlin.
Heart experts are also trying to build more awareness among black and Latina women, who are disproportionately affected by heart disease.
"Especially in African-American women, there's increased risk of hypertension. Sometimes that hypertension goes undetected and untreated for years," says McLaughlin. "A lot of women are in denial that their chest discomfort or their indigestion really could be their heart and they need to be agreeable to have the right testing done."
Socioeconomic status and availability of doctors in city neighborhoods where many minorities live are major factors in whether women seek preventative care.
Dr. Joanna Chikwe, a cardiothoracic surgeon at Mount Sinai, says unfortunately the vast majority of women she operates on are minorities, and and when they are in her care their situation is already dire.
"All of these women that come, they often come in their 50s and their 40s with heart disease. It's a story about really poor prevention," says Chikwe. "They haven't looked after their cholesterol, they haven't had a chance to look after their blood pressure. They may not even know that they've got high cholesterol, high blood sugar."

Anti-radiation pills: forget the fridge, bring on the nuke
Not all of us are clever enough to jump into a fridge when we see a nuke heading our way. Post-nuke, then, we're left with two options: succumbing to radiation sickness, or morphing into radiation zombies. A new medication called Ex-RAD now presents a third option, which is to take it and then be just fine afterwards.
The conventional methods of treating radiation poisoning are primarily to just do your level best to not get exposed to too much radiation, utilizing protective clothing and surface decontamination and careful monitoring. If things get bad anyway, there are some treatments for symptoms, but nothing that really goes after the root of the problem: your DNA has been trashed and your cells are freaking out killing themselves.
Onconova Therapeutics has developed and successfully tested a new type of medication that it's calling Ex-RAD that's apparently able to treat radiation sickness much more effectively, whether taken prophylactically before exposure or therapeutically after. Onconova hasn't had a chance to test the efficacy of people yet (since doing so would involve potentially lethal doses of radiation), but it doesn't have any significant side-effects and works wonders in an animal model: after exposing a group of mice to 8 Gy of gamma rays (which is enough to kill 95% of living things within two weeks), the ones that were given some Ex-RAD to munch on boasted a survival rate of 88%.
Ex-RAD works through a "novel mode of action" that "involves the enhancement of cellular DNA repair pathways and key elements of the DNA damage cascade in response to harmful radiation." Basically, it helps prevent DNA from getting torn up in the first place, helps DNA that has been damaged repair itself, and suppresses a protein that triggers cell death. It works best when administered in pill form, making it easy for mass distribution in the event of a nuclear apocalypse Friday after next.
I have a feeling these pills, like all new medications, are going to be absurdly expensive to start off with, but maybe down the road they'll become cheap enough that every time you get an X-ray or a CT scan or fly in an airplane or eat a banana, you'll pop an Ex-RAD pill just to be on the safe side.
*DVICE would like to remind you that getting nuked is rarely, if ever, a good idea, no matter what medication you're currently taking or which kitchen appliances are readily available.

Tips from real users who've been to The Erbore Tribe
The Erbore Tribe
Another Omo Tribe
The Erbore tribe is the most money hungry of all the Omo tribes. You've barely arrived to town and they are already asking for money. They follow you and hit you to get you to give them money. They see the camera in your hand and you have a whole village asking you for money. Actually it was a burden to visit this tribe which must be the distant cousins of the Mursi for as unkind as they are. Of all the tribes of the Omo the most genuine are the Banna, the Hamer and Karo in my opinion.

The Journey
As a young woman growing up in Somalia, I have always found it troubling that some people were given advantages and others were denied advantages due to their color or class. I could never absolutely agree that because someone was few shades darker, they were somehow uglier. This view, which was held by way too large of a majority, led many women to bleach their skin so they could become lighter.
Furthermore, most men acted like they could never be told what to do but girls must listen to what everyone tells them to do. When I was really young, I gave men that authority because I was raised that way and it never occurred to me that it wasn't right. But as I grew older and began to understand the consequences of the different treatment, I began to resent it. However, these feelings of mine were not very welcomed in our culture so I began to think maybe this is how it was supposed to be until I came to the United States.
In the US I learned to have a voice and express that voice. As a naturally shy person, I was never really outspoken so I began to write my thoughts and ideas. Since I started college, I have started to seek out non-profit organizations that were international and found that it wasn't really interesting to read stories about what is going on in other countries because it felt like I was just reading the news and the news is filled with mostly depressing stories. I wanted to find more of a real connection, a place where I could ask people's personal stories and I could tell them mine. Then a few months ago, I accidently found Pulse Wire while searching through Facebook. I do not recall exactly what I was searching for but I remember signing up for this website. I immediately felt a great need to be a part of this community because it was exactly what I had been searching for. I started to read through the stories and was absolutely intrigued by the raw and inspiring voices of women all around the world.
After I joined, I began to write much more and for the first time posted my writings for people to read. I had never published anything I'd written (outside school papers) because it always felt too personal. However, reading the stories of women from rural towns as well as women from huge cities, I decided this was the right audience. My personal vision is gaining equality for everyone on the basis of being a human being. This journey has helped me understand and strengthen my views. It has also helped me find people who are as passionate about human rights and social change as I am which I am forever grateful for. Voices of Our Future gives me the opportunity to be able to put into words what I feel is important which is inspiring on its own.
this is the beginning of your
this is the beginning of your writing -you say, in public but i found it a very managed and well written one! I just wonder why did you not gave your writings to any one so that you would be writing from earlier! but its never late to start anything, i see you passing through the long journey with your great power.
And i am also desperate to
And i am also desperate to read about culture and status women in your society. From my childhood i have been only hearing the crisis in somalia, i am so much eager to know about this country. I know i can google it but the surfacial information do not excites me so much , i want to hear from the one who have been spending life in somalia. I will be looking forward to read about the culture, tradition, status about somalia. hope you will be posting it soon.
i will be waiting for it!
thank you
thank you hanna for the information, ACTUALLY i have heard the name of the country many times in my childhood, i just used to think how they would survive, i heard there was the food crisis there, people were dying out of hunger. I also request you , while you write other post in your journal, write some thing about the women and children and the men's status in the society that will be new for us!
thank u so much for now and when you will get time write some thing more about somalia.
all love
so glad you decided to take a
so glad you decided to take a proactive stance and that you are voicing your views!
Dear Hanna
Happy to read from you and your great stroy, we need women like you in our society who can stand bold and speak from the bottom of their heart without the fear of what the public would say about them,
Great work dea n keep it up.
Peace and love,
A Beautiful Voice
So glad you found your voice. Every person is unique and special regardless of physical appearance. Thank you for sharing that message.

Dear Hanna -
It is really neat to read about how stumbling upon World Pulse has been so inspiring to you. Despite being shy, you clearly have a strong voice and I am so glad you have found a place to share it and with such vision.
Thanks you,

Prof. Sarah Brouillette
Spring 2008
Central to our era is the gradual movement of all the world's regions toward a uniform standard of economic and political development. In this class we will read a variety of recent narratives that partake of, dissent from, or contribute to this story, ranging from novels and poems to World Bank and IMF statements and National Geographic reports. We will seek to understand the many motives and voices – sometimes congruent, sometimes clashing – that are currently engaged in producing accounts of people in the developing world: their hardships, laughter, and courage, and how they help themselves and are helped by outsiders who may or may not have philanthropic motives. Readings will include literature by J. G. Ballard, Jamaica Kincaid, Rohinton Mistry, and John le Carré, as well as policy documents, newspaper and magazine articles, and the Web sites of a variety of trade and development commissions and organizations.
OCW has published multiple versions of this subject.

"Winch with remote, "what a combo"
By Billybcool
from Montrose, CO
Comments about BADLAND WINCHES 3500 lb. ATV/Utility Electric Winch with Automatic Load-Holding Brake:
The 3500 lb winch with the wireless remote is an excellent combination. I mounted the winch/w remote on front of my trailer for the prime purpose of loading my Harley Road King (850lb) should it break down and need repair, otherwise I would normally just ride it up the ramp into my trailer.I read previous reviews where the remote had to be rewired to work with the winch. This must have been corrected as all I had to do was plug it in and works great. The remote does have a slight delay and you will draw approx. 6" of wire rope before shutting off, which is no big deal just plan for it.A benefit that could be upgraded is a larger pic of the wiring diagram preferably in color of the solenoid wiring attachment locations.I did use remote at 90 ft away just to test.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great winch for the money.
By GearHead Threadz
from Phoenix, Arizona
I originally purchased the Badland 2000 lb atv winch. After installing it and 3 mins of light use (300 lb pull) it decided it wasn't going to work anymore. After returning to HF where they gladly exchanged it. I decided to upgrade to the 3500lb winch and I must say. This was the best decision I could have made. This little 3500lb winch is impressive. It handles most everything I throw at it. After I figured out the wiring which wasn't too bad with the exception of the white wire for control in the schematic being unclear of location. I wired it up the first time and was successful. Great winch and Great Price. Spend the extra money and opt for the 3500 the wireless remote on the 2000lb is sketchy at best but the 3500lb remote is solid and works flawlessly.

3500lb atv winch
By Jay
from N.C.
I purchased this for my 4x4 atv. I've had other badland winches and they've done fine. This one seems like it should hold up for the light to moderate use it'll get. My only complaint is that the 2 cables (blue and yellow) are not long enough to mount the solinoid at the back of the atv. I had to mount it up front, which was kind of a pain because of limited working room. I could've easily made longer cables, but I needed it for a morning trip, and didn't have time to wait.

By ken
from Elmer, NJ

From the look and style of the editorials that Blush Lingerie produce, you would never think that this brand is so reasonably priced. That's one of the main reasons I love Blush, they have a wonderfully down to earth attitude to creating beautiful, accessible designs; styles that can bring a woman confidence and inspiration. I previously wrote about the brand HERE, highlighting their super sexy secret agent styled campaign back in 2011, a series of sultry bra and brief sets, lace camisoles, dresses and bodysuits. Their mission back then was "to provide flirtatious and affordable luxury to women worldwide with the creation of sensual, voluptuous and urbane intimates". I'd say they have succeeded and built upon this statement; with current collections Paramour, Sinfully Yours, After Midnight and Victory proving that Blush's new mission is to help women find a new source of feminine strength through their lingerie.
My favourite of the new collections is After Midnight, a black and white / blue and black lace and modal series that works just as well under daytime clothes as it might worn to impress in the evening. A close second comes Paramour, with its poetic scalloped lace and retro styling.
Blush is a huge amount of luxe for less. For those of you already planning your Christmas lingerie shopping or looking for that special gift, be sure to check out the full range on their website HERE. They ship worldwide, so there is no excuse not to have the perfect lingerie sent right to your door (alternatively, ask Santa).
I also have an exciting giveaway with Blush coming up over the next few weeks, so keep checking back!
