Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

A 12-week London
study was recently conducted involving 58 type 2 diabetics with
hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels over 7 percent. Hemoglobin A1c is
a marker for long-term glycemic control in diabetics.
After 12 weeks
on 2g of cinnamon per day, study subjects had significantly lower
HbA1c levels, as well as significantly reduced blood pressures (systolic,
SBP and diastolic, DBP).
The researchers'
u201CIntake of
2g of cinnamon for 12 weeks significantly reduces the HbA1c, SBP
and DBP among poorly controlled type 2 diabetes patients. Cinnamon
supplementation could be considered as an additional dietary supplement
option to regulate blood glucose and blood pressure levels along
with conventional medications to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus.u201D
In related
news, a new study out of the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill points to a connection between magnesium in the diet and lowered
risk of diabetes.
According to
u201CIt's plausible
that magnesium could influence diabetes risk because the mineral
is needed for the proper functioning of several enzymes that help
the body process glucose.u201D
studied magnesium intake and diabetes risk in about 4,500 men and
women aged 18 to 30. None of the participants were diabetic at the
start of the study.
Over the ensuing
20 years, 330 of the test subjects developed diabetes. The people
with the highest magnesium intake — about 200 milligrams for every
1,000 calories consumed — were almost 50 percent less likely to
develop diabetes than men and women who consumed about 100 milligrams
per 1,000 calories.
The study also
revealed that as magnesium intake increased, inflammation levels
decreased, as did insulin resistance.
NOTE: Reuters reports one wildly inaccurate conclusion:
that consuming whole grains (which are high in magnesium) is associated
with lower diabetes risk.
This is simply
not true.
If you're looking
for ways to increase the magnesium in your diet, avoid grains and
opt for healthier choices like avocados, almonds, certain types
of beans and peas.
Medicine: A Journal of the British Diabetic Association October
September 24, 2010
Care August 31, 2010 [Epub Ahead of Print]
Dr. Mercola's
As I discussed
in yesterday's article on the
insanity of Avandia, drugs are not the answer for type 2 diabetes.
In that article, I described the natural and most effective way
to address type 2 diabetes. If you haven't already read this article
I would strongly encourage you to do so.
The two reports
above are related in the sense that they demonstrate the power of
natural therapies — as opposed to drugs – to combat this epidemic
However, like
drugs, supplements such as cinnamon or magnesium should not be misconstrued
as cures. They are safer alternatives than drugs, but you cannot
properly address your diabetes if you still maintain a sedentary
lifestyle and a poor diet – with or without helpful supplements.
How Cinnamon
Can Benefit Diabetics
have investigated the "insulin-like" effects of cinnamon for a number
of years now, and as the latest study in Diabetic Medicine shows,
cinnamon keeps proving it's a viable contender in the fight against
Among this
spice's most impressive health benefits is its impact on blood sugar
and ability to improve glucose control.
For example,
just half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day has
previously been shown to significantly reduce blood sugar levels,
triglycerides, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and total cholesterol levels
in people with type 2 diabetes.
Another study
found that the spice increased glucose metabolism by about 20 times,
which would significantly improve your ability
to regulate blood sugar. Cinnamon has even previously been indicated
as a potential insulin substitute for those with type 2 diabetes
due to a bioactive component with "insulin-like" effects.
cinnamon lowers your blood sugar by acting on several different
It slows the
emptying of your stomach to reduce sharp rises in blood sugar following
meals, and improves the effectiveness, or sensitivity, of insulin.
It also enhances
your antioxidant defenses. A
study published last year stated that "polyphenols from cinnamon
could be of special interest in people that are overweight with
impaired fasting glucose since they might act both as insulin sensitizers
and antioxidants."
Yet another
bioflavanoid compound called proanthocyanidin may alter the activity
of insulin signaling in your fat cells.
have suggested people with diabetes may see improvements by adding
1/4–1 teaspoon of cinnamon to their food, and I see no reason
not to give this a try if you enjoy cinnamon (along with doing the
other essentials
to improve diabetes, including eliminating fructose and grains
from your diet and exercising daily).
Other health
benefits of cinnamon include:
- Supporting
digestive function
- Relieving
- Relieving
pain and stiffness of muscles and joints
- Anti-inflammatory
compounds that may relieve arthritis
- Helping
to prevent urinary tract infections, tooth decay and gum disease
- Relieves
menstrual discomfort
- Blood-thinning
compounds that stimulate circulation
Clearly, adding
ample amounts of cinnamon to your diet is an incredibly inexpensive
and great tasting tool for diabetics, and the likelihood of this
food causing any long-term complications is very small.
Just remember
that unless you're adding it to a proper diet — high in vegetables
and extremely low in fructose and grains – you likely will
not experience any benefit whatsoever.
Whole Grains
Do NOT Lower Your Diabetes Risk!
makes a grave mistake when claiming that "the results may explain
in part why consuming whole grains, which are rich in magnesium,
is associated with lower diabetes risk."
results they're talking about is that people who consumed the
highest amounts of magnesium, from foods and vitamin supplements,
were half as likely to become diabetics over two decades as those
who consumed the least amount of magnesium, according
to a recent study.
According to
the researchers, magnesium may decrease your diabetes risk because
magnesium is required for the proper functioning of enzymes involved
in glucose processing.
This has nothing
to do with whole grains, and does not support the claim that whole
grains are good for diabetics.
In fact, if
you're diabetic or want to avoid becoming diabetic, then grains
— including whole grains – are at the TOP of the list of foods
to AVOID, right after fructose and other sugars.
Because just
like sugar, grains typically are a primary cause of insulin insensitivity,
which is at the root of diabetes.
Sources of Magnesium
As for magnesium,
study found that those who consumed about 200 mg of magnesium
for every 1,000 calories consumed were 47 percent less likely to
develop insulin resistance and diabetes, compared to those who consumed
half that amount of magnesium.
In addition,
the researchers also discovered that as magnesium levels rose, markers
of inflammation decreased.
Magnesium serves
many important metabolic functions in your body, but if you want
to increase the magnesium in your diet, please stay away from grains
and opt for healthier choices, such as:
- Avocados
- Almonds
- Green vegetables,
such as spinach
- Raw broccoli
- Black beans
- Peas
Other Great
Anti-Diabetic Foods
Aside from
cinnamon and magnesium-rich fare, other foods shown to be particularly
beneficial for diabetics include:
- Broccoli
– Eating
broccoli could reverse the damage that diabetes inflicts on your
blood vessels. The key is likely a compound in the vegetable
called sulforaphane.
encourages production of enzymes that protect the blood vessels,
and reduces the number of molecules that cause cell damage –
known as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) – by up to 73 percent.
with diabetes are up to five times more likely to develop cardiovascular
diseases such as heart attacks and strokes – both of which
are linked to damaged blood vessels.
— Researchers have found that bacterial populations
in the gut of diabetics differ from non-diabetics, and that
modifying your gut microflora with probiotics
and prebiotics can help improve the health of diabetics.
A Mediterranean-style
diet rich in vegetables can also help ward off diabetes.
The benefits are likely from the use of healthy fats and increased
veggies – NOT from the large amount of grains. Swapping
out your grains and sugar for high-quality sources of protein,
healthy fat (which INCLUDES saturated fat) and vegetables, can
set you off on the right path.
you'll want to customize your diet according to your nutritional
type. To help you do this, I now offer the entire
online nutritional typing test for FREE!

Should I Do Foster Care?
Child Foster Care Licensing Information
Agreement Between Foster Parents and Placement Agency
Perspective on Foster Care and Adoption
Information Sessions: We will share information about our foster care program, the children in foster care, their families, the re-unification process, and St. Louis County's expectations of foster families. Information sessions are scheduled several times each month.
Contact: Jessie Schunk 218-749-9793 or toll-free 800-450-9777 x7793 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here are some Child Foster Care Questions Jessie will ask when you call to inquire and/or register.
Application: Your decision to do foster care begins when you return your application. It takes between 90 and 120 days to be licensed from that point. Part of the application process is a thorough background check. You will need sign some release forms and be fingerprinted for your background checks.
Home Safety Inspection: A licensor will visit your home to begin licensing and determine if your home needs a state fire marshal inspection.
Home Study: A licensor will conduct a home study with you and your family to get to know you so they can determine what types of children would be a good fit in your home. This home study process generally takes about 6 hours and happens in a series of visits.
Training: St. Louis County requires about 30 hours of training in the first year of licensing. Some training needs to happen prior to getting children, the rest within the first year.
Recommendation for licensure: Following completion of the Home Study and the related licensing requirements a recommendation is made to the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS). The final decision is made by the DHS Division of Licensing.
Minnesota Rules for Foster Family Settings - Minnesota Administrative Rules Chapter 2960 covers the Licensure and Certification of Programs for Children. Parts 2960.3000 to 2960.3100 establish the minimum standards that a foster family setting must meet to qualify for licensure. Parts 2960.3200 to 2960.3230 contain requirements for foster residence settings. Additional licensing requirements for foster family settings that offer treatment foster care are in parts 2960.3300 to 2960.3340.
General Child Foster Care: Families who are willing to open their home to children who are unknown to them. Families may take one child, sibling groups, or children from multiple families. Placements generally last between 3- 9 months. When reunification is not possible, foster families can be an option for permanancy.
Respite Foster Care: This program relieves birth parents and foster parents for a specific relief period, often one or two weekends a month.
Contact: Jessie Schunk 218-749-9793 or toll-free 800-450-9777 x7793 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

After running a sawmill for 15 years in Corvallis, Mode and Babe sold it, retired, and bought a 74-acre parcel of land just because they wanted it—even though they had no plans for its use. At the urging of their friends, Mode and Babe decided to build a nine-hole golf course, not letting their lack of experience with the game dissuade them. Since that spontaneous founding in the 1950s, Marysville Golf Course has been operated by the same family and has served Eugene-area golfers with a nine-hole USGA-rated course that's appropriate for all ages and experience levels. A first-come, first-served policy rewards early risers and sleep-skipping permagolfers, and new sand traps and greens comprise an elegant landscape over which golf balls briefly orbit before being dragged down by gravity. Additionally, a covered driving range allows for long-distance putting during thunderstorms or temporary ice ages, and the pro shop carries name brands such as Nike and Callaway in addition to a selection of new and used clubs.
A USHPA-certified advanced and tandem instructor, John of Oregon Hang Gliding School has taken to the skies on hang gliders since 1990 and taught the sport to newcomers since 1997. He also advises the curriculum for a university engineering program laying out pointers in a systematic way, and discouraging the use of protractors as weapons. Under John's guidance, students begin with introductory lessons and ground school before advancing along the path to earning individual pilot ratings.
The Catalina Hotel perches on the shoreline of Miami Beach's South Beach, a spot well-known for its hot nightlife, gorgeous beaches, posh shopping districts, and celebrity sightings. Daytrippers can head over to popular clothing-optional Haulover Beach for an extra afternoon helping of vitamin D, or they can get acquainted with the city by hopping on a colorfully narrated duck tour, on which travelers cruise by million-dollar houses before dramatically splashing into the surf on a bus that turns into a boat.The Catalina Hotel is a short walking distance from all of South Beach's vibrant charms—stepping out of the hotel, guests find themselves surrounded by options for fresh seafood and exquisitely crafted cocktails at every turn, as well as the pulsating beat of club music wafting through the night air. Clubs in the area stay open late, encouraging nights of dancing that end as the sun comes up over the water.
With 35 years of kid-entertaining experience, The Little Gym provides a safe and noncompetitive environment wherein wee ones and maturing moppets can exercise their brains and bodies. Visiting youngsters glean social, intellectual, and emotional skills from the facility's professionally developed parent-child program, which features diverse activities in gymnastics, dance, sports, and parent-child yodeling for mountain-echoing communication more effective than a squeal. With student to teacher ratios of 7:1, kids can also safely fly solo in programs that cater to differing ages, levels of muscle development, and hatred of vegetables. Each session's hands-on activities keep the indefatigable energy motors of little tikes revving, facilitate bonding, and boost listening skills, attention spans, and confidence. Check the complete class schedule for a list of all courses and to confirm times.
Each noncompetitive Curves facility invites female fitness-seekers to move through a 30-minute circuit of hydraulic resistance machines designed to promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. Shunning cumbersome weight stacks, the hydraulic gadgets adapt to each exerciser's body weight and fitness level to complement her individual abilities, subsequently decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. And because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing unsuspecting grapefruit. Experienced trainers are always nearby to help clients manage their machine maneuvering, and a soundtrack of fun, upbeat music includes cues to let women know when it's time to move on to the next station or break for an air viola solo.
Snuggled up next to the gorgeous Yaquina Bay, Oregon Coast Aquarium showcases the intricate sea life found on the Pacific Coast. Visitors can peer into the personal lives of outgoing ocean dwellers in the Passages of the Deep, which guides guests through the underwater ecosystems of the state's coast. Disciples of the sea can chat about the Wall Street Journal 's recent article about the ink market with the giant Pacific octopus or watch public feedings of the largest sea otter community in the state—featuring the antics of the cheeky charmer northern otter Mojo. Merry mariners can swap shanties with the sleek and vocal sea lions or harbor seals, and touchy tourists can acquaint themselves with tide-pool residents in the Rocky Shores touch pool.

The American Public Works Association (APWA) received a $130,000 federal cost-share grant from the USDA Forest Service to fund an outreach program that aims to help public works departments improve tree care projects.
The program, "Urban Forest Management and Public Works: Improving Communications and Building Capacity," is a joint venture between APWA and the Society of Municipal Arborists (SMA); the goal is to ensure better care of the nation's urban forest through enhanced communications.
"Although public works and urban forestry professionals are often housed in the same city department, they don't always understand how to combine their talents and resources for the benefits of the communities' trees," says SMA executive director Jerri LaHaie, CAE. "This grant gives us the opportunity to create an ongoing dialogue between those professional groups, which will result in ideas for leveraging dollars, equipment, and person-power for better managed urban forests."
The endeavor includes an educational campaign, a Webcast, and other forestry education and outreach projects designed to train the public works community. Slated to run for 18 months, it will be led by an advisory group that comprises APWA and SMA members. Eventually, all program materials will be available in a comprehensive toolkit.

Witness the History of the Hair Bow
Lady Gaga seems to be everywhere these days, and recently, she was spotted partying with Paris Hilton, wearing what can only be described as a bow made from hair. And this isn't the first time we've seen the singer (or Paris, for that matter) all tied up in a bow. Is this larger-than-life hairdo becoming her signature style? Have a look at my slideshow to see which other stars have rocked this unusual look.

I'm not a big lady Gaga fan. But I respect her for what she does and a lot of people love her. I absolutely love the hair bow. I've seen this way before lady Gaga did it. It's huge in Japan. You have to keep an open mind to other cultures. And just because something or someone is different doesn't give you the right to criticise them. She is very bold for wearing this because of people like most of you above. She's dresses how she wants and doesn't care what people think. Dare to be different!

people need to quit hating on lady gaga. shes her own person and deserves to be treated with respect just like everyone else. just because shes famous and takes things to a new level, doesnt give any one of you the right to put her down like that. so step off your pedastools and leave her the f*** alone if all you wanna do is leave negative feedback on her. and for the record... I LOVE THE BOW!

The only time hair should be used as an accessory is demurely wrapped around a ponytail holder. Otherwise, WTFBBQ.

These are definitely strange. If you want actual hair bows check this out www.weeones.com. Now THESE are cute! And there is a new trend of teens wearing bows. The forward thinking teens are taking girly bows and wearing them with edgy outfits for a whole new look.

I've never seen it done and not thought, "Well, that makes her look pretty goofy." It's just to big... Maybe a tiny bow made from a loose hanging tendril or pinned loosely to the back or side of the head would be alright or cute... But this just looks monstrous.

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- A New Zealand air force plane has spotted objects in the new search area for the missing Malaysia Airlines MAS, -1.85% Flight 370, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said in a post to Twitter on Friday. A ship is being sent to confirm the sighting, but this is not expected until Saturday, the AMSA added. The New Zealand P-3 patrol plane is returning to Perth, Australia, with images for analysis, CNN reported. Earlier on Friday, authorities said they had moved the search for wreckage to a different part of the Indian Ocean, almost 700 miles from the previous area, after new information about the missing jet's speed emerged after analysis of radar data. Flight MH370, carrying 239 passengers to Beijing, was lost March 8 soon after takeoff in Kuala Lumpur.

Type 1 Diabetes Investigators—Aided by JDRF Research Project—Are First to Identify "Killer" T Cells within Human Islets
Researchers recently demonstrated for the first time a direct association between human beta cell destruction and CD8 T cells, which are cells that play an important role in the body's immune system. This autoimmune "attack" is a hallmark of T1D and it results in the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. In their investigation, the researchers used human tissue samples from the pancreases of T1D organ donors obtained through nPOD, a JDRF collaborative research project. This new study provides evidence that CD8 T cells are present in the islets of the pancreas that contain beta cells. These findings are important for future research on preserving beta-cell function and establishing biomarkers for therapies for T1D.

El camino del Rey - Brightcove
Not without a parachute and some experience of base jumping :)
Good plan, with only one minor problem: sheer cliffs, no shore!Quote:
not that you couldn't just fly the thing to the shore
Yep, this is turning out to be a very complex stunt you've volunteered to do :)Quote:
I guess you could just call a cut scene but it is hard to direct and base jump from a shear cliff face at the same time.
David Hicks
The boat could have a remote cable gun that fired up a light but strong cable into the air just as you were coming towards it.
If you were really good with the parachute you probably could make it to shore as there would be a huge thermal updraft created bu the sun heating up the cliffs all day. The trick would be not getting snared in the rocks.
I recon the stunt is totally doable, 5 or 6 years of training and anyone could do it... Easy :D
Cool.. yea i would do that
I love mountain walking anyhow so that would be great fun!
Might be a lil scared on some of those metalk pipes but i would do it :P
This was posted on another forum I frequent. Another user has altered his holiday plans and is going to have a look just based on that film. He is a climber, and lives in Spain anyway. We're waiting for the pictures!

The determinants of female attractiveness include those features that display good health and fitness for reproduction and the sustenance of infants. These include the following correlates of fertility:
Waist-to-hip ratio
Breast size
Breast symmetry
Body mass proportion
Facial symmetry
Features such as a symmetrical face, large breasts, and low waist-to-hip ratio are commonly considered attractive in women because they are thought to indicate physical health and high fertility to a potential mate.
Although it has been claimed that facial attractiveness and symmetry signal good health, this has been questioned .
Facial alignment
In a study by University of Louisville psychologist Michael Cunningham, dimensions and proportions of what was regarded as attractive emerged with remarkable consistency. The ideal attractive female face featured "eye width that is three-tenths the width of the face at the eyes' level; chin length, one-fifth the height of the face; distance from the center of the eye to the bottom of the eyebrow, one-tenth the height of the face; the height of the visible eyeball, one-fourteenth the height of the face; the width of the pupil, one-fourteenth the distance between the cheekbones; and the total area for the nose, less than 5 percent of the area of the face." Very small differences mattered; for example, "the ideal mouth was half or 50 percent the width of the face at mouth level; if that percentage varied "by as little at 10 points," the face was rated as less attractive. The study found the "beauty of the female face ... is mathematically quantifiable."
Desired traits were large female eyes, small chin and nose, and these "infantlike features draw out in them the same caretaking response a baby would–they make a woman seem cute and adorable."Further, high wide cheekbones and narrow cheeks are "signs that a woman has reached puberty" and "high eyebrows, dilated pupils and wide smile" signal excitement and sociability.One psychologist speculated there were two opposing principles of female beauty: prettiness and rarity. So on average, symmetrical features are one ideal, while unusual, stand-out features are another.
A study performed by the University of Toronto found that the most attractive facial dimensions were those found in the average female face. However, that particular University of Toronto study looked only at white women.
Signals of youth
Because female fecundity typically declines after the late twenties, youth is an important aspect of physical attractiveness. One study across 37 cultures showed men desire, on average, a woman 2.5 years younger than themselves for a wife, with men in Nigeria and Zambia at the far extreme, desiring their wives to be 6.5 to 7.5 years younger. As men age, they also desire a larger age gap from their mates. The reasons for this preference are currently debated.
This preference for youth has also led to a preference of neotenic and youthful-appearing features. High, firm breasts, blonde or long and lustrous hair (or a combination of the three), full red lips, clear smooth skin, and clear eyes, are viewed as attractive in women.
Breast size
ull breasts may be attractive to some men in Western societies because women with higher breast to under-breast ratios typically have higher levels of the sex hormone, estradiol, which promotes fertility.[68] Larger breasts also display the aging process more noticeably, hence they are a relatively reliable indicator of long-term fertility.
Proportion of body mass to body structure
This 1895 advertisement promotes a weight gain product for people who had lost significant weight through disease or age. Maintaining a healthy weight is a determinant of physical attractiveness.
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is another important universal determinant to the perception of beauty. The BMI refers to the proportion of the body mass to the body structure. However, the optimal body proportion is regarded differently in various cultures. The Western ideal considers a slim and slender body mass as optimal while many historic cultures consider an embonpoint or plump body-mass as appealing. Men do not appear to have evolved to hold a particular build as more attractive, but rather to be drawn to whichever build associates with social status
In the United States, women overestimate men's preferences for thinness in a mate. In one study, American women were asked to choose what their ideal build was and what they thought the build most attractive to men was. Women chose slimmer than average figures for both choices. When American men were independently asked to choose the female build most attractive to them, the men chose figures of average build. This suggests that women tend to have misconceptions about how thin men prefer women to be. Some speculate that thinness as a beauty standard is one way in which women judge each other.A reporter surmised that thinness is prized among women as a "sign of independence, strength and achievement." Some implicated the fashion industry for the promulgation of the notion of thinness as attractive.
Waist-hip ratio
Notwithstanding wide cultural differences in preferences for female build, scientists have discovered that the waist-hip ratio (WHR) of any build is very strongly correlated to attractiveness across cultures. Women with a 0.7 WHR (waist circumference that is 70% of the hip circumference) are usually rated as more attractive by men from European cultures. Such diverse beauty icons as Jessica Alba, Marilyn Monroe, Salma Hayek, Sophia Loren, and the Venus de Milo all have ratios around 0.7
In other cultures, preferences vary, ranging from 0.6 in China, to 0.8 or 0.9 in parts of South America and Africa, and divergent preferences based on ethnicity, rather than nationality, have also been noted. The hourglass shape characterized by a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7 has been described as attractive.
Most men exhibit a preference for females of shorter physical stature than themselves. Women 0.7 to 1.7 standard deviations below the mean in height have been reported to be the most reproductively successful. One explanation for this observation is that since most men demonstrate a preference for women shorter than themselves, being shorter allows a woman access to a larger potential dating pool.However, in some non-Western cultures, height is irrelevant in choosing a mate, which suggests that the preference among Western men for women shorter than themselves may be sociocultural in nature.
Long legs
One study suggested men prefer women with longer legs. Research compared the attractiveness of women of similar height but with different lengths of their legs and concluded that men found longer legs to be more attractive. Researchers hypothesized that longer legs were not only an aesthetic feature but indicated good health. Studies have also shown that women find men with long legs more attractive than men whose legs are of average length.
Prototypicality as beauty
Besides biology and culture, there are other factors determining physical attractiveness. The more common features a face bears, the more highly it is usually judged to be attractive. This may be a result of the familiarity of common facial features, an example of the mere exposure effect. When many faces are combined into a composite image (through computer morphing), people usually view the resulting image as more familiar, attractive, and beautiful than the faces that were combined to make the composite.
One interpretation is that this shows an inherent human preference for prototypicality. That is, the resultant face emerges with the salient features shared by most faces, and hence becomes the prototype. The prototypical face and features is therefore perceived as symmetrical and familiar. This may reveal an "underlying preference for the familiar and safe over the unfamiliar and potentially dangerous." However, critics of this interpretation point out that compositing computer images also has the effect of removing skin blemishes such as scars, and generally softens sharp facial features.
Classical conceptions of beauty are essentially a celebration of this "prototypicality." This may show the importance of prototypicality in the judgment of beauty, and also explain the emergence of similarity of the perception of attractiveness within a community or society, which shares a gene pool.
Skin tone preference varies by culture. Many historically favored and continue to favor lighter skin in women. In his foreword to Peter Frost's 2005 Fair Women, Dark Men, University of Washington sociologist Pierre L. van den Berghe writes: "Although virtually all cultures express a marked preference for fair female skin, even those with little or no exposure to European imperialism, and even those whose members are heavily pigmented, many are indifferent to male pigmentation or even prefer men to be darker." A consequence of this is that, since higher-ranking men get to marry the perceived more attractive women, the upper classes of a society generally tend to develop a lighter complexion than the lower classes by sexual selection (see also Fisherian runaway).
Studies have shown that lighter skin has generally been preferred in most cultures and races. Exceptions to this have appeared in modern times in Western culture, where tanned skin is often considered more attractive. Tanned skin has been shown in the United States to be viewed both as more attractive and more healthy than pale skin. Though sun-tanned skin used to be associated with the sun-exposed manual labor of the lower-class, the associations became dramatically reversed in the mid-20th century, a change usually credited to the trendsetting French woman Coco Chanel making tanned skin seem fashionable, healthy, and luxurious.
Today, and in much of the West, though tanned skin remains desirable, lighter skin is often seen as more attractive, especially in African, Asian, and Latin cultures. Skin whitening products sales grew from $40 to $43 billion in 2008. In Africa, skin whitening is not uncommon, but in the African American community, lighter skin is generally considered more attractive than darker skin. During slavery, light-skinned African Americans were perceived as intelligent, cooperative, and beautiful. Regarding this perception of beauty influenced by racial stereotypes about skin color; the African American journalist Jill Nelson wrote that "to be both prettiest and black was impossible."
In Mexico and in Brazil, light skin represents power, as well as attractiveness. A dark-skinned person is more likely to be discriminated against in Brazil. Most South American actors and actresses have European features—blue eyes and pale skin. A light-skinned person is considered to be more privileged and have a higher social status; a person with light skin is considered more beautiful and it means that the person has more wealth. Skin color is such an obsession in these countries that specific words describe distinct skin tones from "hincha," Puerto Rican slang for "glass of milk" to "morena," literally "brown."
In ancient China and Japan, pale skin can be traced back to ancient drawings depicting women and goddesses with fair skin tones. In ancient China, Japan, and Southeast Asia, pale skin was seen as a sign of wealth. Thus, skin whitening cosmetic products are popular in East Asia. 4 out of 10 women surveyed in Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines and South Korea used a skin-whitening cream, and more than 60 companies globally compete for Asia's estimated $18 billion market. This also occurs in South Asian countries, and in India, pale skin is considered more attractive and skin whitening is prevalent. Most actors and actresses have light skin.

Maybe the Reds can turn back the clock tonight and play like the 1990 Reds. Every time these two teams hook up, I can't help think about the 1990 squad, even if I was just a young lad back then. Hopefully Mat Latos will pitch like Jose Rijo and Jack Hannahan will play like Chris Sabo … Continue reading
