It was my favorite eyeliner. It has good quality, and the eyeliner is so smooth on the skin. However, it smudges and disappear after 3-4 hours of application. I have found other eyeliner that is better, a Japanese brand called Kate

This is a high quality traditional kohl that lasts surprisingly well, great for everyday use. The beauty of these is the quality vibrant pigmented color does not fade, plus the smooth texture that blends and smokes well. You need to use less product, so the result is more "close-to-your-skin" natural texture. More elegant less cakey flakey for older skins yet the same lasting color impact compared to standard or waterproof pencils.
Can tend to smudge in hot weather on my oily lids but I just set with powder and then I don't find it a problem. If I want waterproof I use creams and gels not pencils as I've never found ANY pencil liner (including waterproof, and I've tried hundreds over the years) that doesn't smudge on me somewhat.
I love the extra length you get with these, it makes them last twice as long as other brands so they are much more economical than you think and you don't have to shop as often.
The regular shades are all are so flattering especially when you don't suit the standard black they have a great range. I also love how they regularly put out more crazy limited edition shades now and then. I've picked up a few and have surprised myself how many times how many times I've worn them with more wearable shades to accents and lift a basic look. They work surprisingly well with the more wearable shades in each collection.
I'm actually glad these are an option I prefer over waterproof pencils because they have actually have problems we don't always think about:
1. Waterproofing ingredients are effective but act as "fillers" making the color pigments more sheer. This causes you to have to cake on extra layers of color to get the same color which doesn't look as classy and you go through product super fast
2. Waterproofing ingredients irritate sensitive eyes (they are what is used in hairspray) and over time, promote permanent irritation and aging red veins in even normal eyes (this is something no-one really thinks about)
3. Waterproof pencils are so smushy soft you can't sharpen to a precise point so you can't get an elegant thin line
4. Waterproof pencils are annoyingly hard to sharpen, you get alot of wastage and you go through pencils fast
5. Waterproof pencils dry out fast and are useless after a couple of years as the materials evaporate and the lead shrinks and breaks up. In contrast, I can still use my oldest Lancome kohl pencils which are nearly 8 years old (I always sharpen first for remove a clean layer for hygiene of course).
Of course waterproof pencils are quick and easy, I'm not knocking them they are just expensive and have a few other hidden pitfalls that its good to know about when choosing your makeup.

This was alright. I wasn't very impressed for the price. I bought Black Ebony and it doesn't fit the description, it's a deep grey. It felt harder without being a rock, but it was difficult to get a deeper color without going over the same area at least 3 times. It stays put pretty well for a non-waterproof kind of liner, especially on my undereye. It doesn't work well for tightlining.

I love this eyeliner! Applying it is incredibly easy, and I can make a perfect, dark line (people often ask me how I apply my "liquid eyeliner" so well). I don't mind the bit of smudging that occurs throughout the day, but I would not recommend this liner for someone who leads an active lifestyle/needs to look professional all day. Definitely expensive, but I can make my pencil last 6 months so I think the price tag is worth it.

I have been trying FOREVER to find an eye pencil that would actually stay on my super-oily eye area, and this one actually works for me, including on the waterline and inner eyelid. I was misled into trying only "waterproof" pencils, but even Lancome's own waterproof one failed on me (along with Tarte, all drugstore brands, and a few others I can't even remember). For some reason, the kohl here matters more than the fact that it isn't technically waterproof. Even if my eyes water in the wind, there's barely any liner lost, and (important!) if it does fade, it doesn't transfer to my brow or fall on my upper cheek--it just disappears. No primer is required, though I'd never found an eye primer that did anything for me anyway.
This is more comfortable going on than the Make-Up Forever Aqua Eyes, which is the only other pencil I think is comparable for staying power. Also, while it is more expensive than most pencils, you also get about 20% more product since the pencil is extra long. It's very concentrated and doesn't require sharpening often, adding to how long each pencil will last.
I have both Black Coffee and Black Ebony. No complaints about either color.

terrible and very disappointing, especially considering Lancôme is not exactly budget-friendly. this eyeliner creases and moves like there's no tomorrow - though i have oily eyelids, using primer makes my eye makeup stay for a whole day without creasing or any problem. that is, as long as i don't use this eyeliner, because then four hours later i'm a panda bear. would never purchase again.

Got this as a sample from my Lancome guy. I have been using the shade "Black Coffee", for my brows. This is actually a really great color if you have black eyebrows, however it needs to be blended which is pretty annoying. I will not be buying this when my sample runs out, too expensive for the quality.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination, Olive, Warm Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium Eyes: Brown
Worst eyeliner I have ever used. I use eyeliner on an almost daily basis as I have small eyes. This one is not only difficult to apply - it tugs, applies patchy, and scratches the skin and chunks of eyeliner crumble off as you apply it - but it also really irritates my eyes. It ends up on my eyeballs and feels "oily" and causes some annoying temporary visual disturbance. I used it to line near inner rim once and my eyes were red for 3 days. On the upper lid it looks greasy and smudges in less than 5 minutes. I had to apply this repeatedly, and press harder than normal to get it to actually look black enough and even then it looks gross, flaky and cheap. For this price, it is absolutely awful and I don't ever want to go near it again.
Terrible, terrible product. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Another reason I avoid Lancome.

This was a very disappointing purchase. It was very hard to apply and is hard to get a dark enough color. After about an hour and a half it all wore off! Not worth the money at all.

I got this from a friend to try out since she didn't like it and I have to say I understand why. It is not very smooth and I feel like I have to press really hard to be able to apply and and I think it's simply not worth the money.
It also smudges and doesn't stay on your eyelids especially when you have oily lids like mine.
If you want to have an eyeliner that's truely black go for the MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack or if you want to have a pencil eyeliner try out the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Billy Gibby, AKA 'Hostgator Dotcom', Wants To Finance Removal Of 20 Facial Tattoos With More Tattoos
A man in Anchorage, Alaska, who tried to raise money by selling more than 20 facial tattoo ads, is now hoping to raise money to get them removed.
To do this, Billy Gibby -- aka "Hostgator Dotcom" and "Billy The Human Billboard" -- is going back to the inkwell and is selling branded advertising on other parts of his body.
"I'm trying to get rid of the ones on my face," he told The Huffington Post. "I regret them because I only did them because of my mental illness."
Gibby, 32, started getting branded tattoos in 2007.
At first, he sold them for $300 to $1000 at first, before his price slipped to $75, according to the Anchorage Press.
His tattoos include a full back tattoo ad for GoldenPalace.com as well as 24 facial tattoos representing various companies, including porn websites.
In his effort to raise money to feed his five kids, Gibby even changed his official name to Hostgator Dotcom in 2009.
GALLERY: BILLY GIBBY WANTS HIS FACIAL TATTOOS REMOVED (Story continues below)
Billy Gibby, whose legal name is actually Hostgator Dotcom, is tyring to raise money to remove his facial tattoos, which are actually branded ads.
Gibby has more than 20 facial tattoos, which he sold for as much as $1500 and as low as $75.
Gibby, 32, is now hoping to have the facial tattoos removed and hopes to raise $4,000 by selling ad space on body parts he can cover.
Gibby has space on his chest, arms and hands, but said anyone who wants to tattoo his butt or sex organ will have to pay $1 million.
Lance Custen, CEO of HostGator.com, believed that the tatted ad was a good investment when the company inked the deal with Gibby.
"Billy, or should I say Hostgator Dotcom, is a great guy and we couldn't pick someone better to brand our company name. He's a successful boxer, a living organ donor, and has a great attitude," Custen told AOL News at the time.
Curiously, the deal did not include a web page for Gibby, which means his main method of promotion is his Facebook page.
Gibby/Dotcom is happy with his name, but is considering adding another advertiser to his legal name if it will help raise the funds to get his facial tattoos removed.
"I've gone to various tattoo removal specialists and one offered me a discounted deal of $4,000," he said.
Gibby/Dotcom said he's been told getting all the tattoos removed from his face will take 18 or 19 treatments spaced about two months apart.
It's hard to raise the money, especially since the sequester has caused him to lose his job doing mental health peer support.
He's been trying to get a grant from a mental health trust set up in the state of Alaska, but, so far, hasn't been successful.
So now he is offering to sell other parts of his body to advertisers willing to cover the cost of getting the facial tats removed.
"I have space on my arms, hands, chest and the legs," Gibby/Dotcom said. "I won't take ads from companies that are racist and I won't do political ads either."
Gibby/Dotcom also doesn't want to consider tattoos on his buttocks or penis, but admits everyone has their price.
"I'd need $1 million to do that," he said.
Although he made the decisions to get the tattoos on his face during a period when he was suffering from mental illness, Gibby/Dotcom said he hopes his decision to have them removed sends a message of tolerance to others.
"People shouldn't judge people by looks," he said. "They should get to know one another. People look at me like a criminal when I go into store. I did this to keep my family from being homeless."

So..how can twitter be used for fundrasing??
In preparation for my panel talk tomorrow night I decided to compile a list of ways I have seen twitter used for fundraising, and a short summary of my thoughts around each one.
Seven Ways to Fundraise:
1. HoHoTO – This "holiday party that twitter built" was a grass-roots twitter-led fundraiser for the Toronto Daily Food Bank. We used twitter and other social networks to get the word out, sell the tickets, allow people to make donations, and engage the community in various ways. The party was streamed live, people could request songs, twitter about the event (we had two huge screens to display the twittering), bring their ideas forward prior to the event, add their photos to the HoHoTO Flickr pool, jump on board as organizers and sponsors, and just be creative – the open-source way. The cause was local, organizing committee was solid and some members (like @rhh) were very well known and respected in the tech community, timing was right, and the community wanted it. Timelines were tight, but we tried to make it work for us. This also helped to address constant HoHoTO twittering. There was just a lot going on!
2. Tweetsgiving – OMG, it is still accepting donations! Fantastic example of a creative fundraising effort that raised $10,000 in 48 hours to build a classroom at the school in Tanzania.
3. Twestival – is a recent example of international fundraising efforts via twitter. All cities were provided with guidelines, branding, and other tools to put together this somewhat franchised event, raising $ for charity:water. The challenge for the organizers was to make it fit the community, and make it more local, – wasn't easy give the international/remote cause. Which is why they had a bit of difficulty getting the word out in the beginning. Twestival showed that even if things don't spread as wildfire right away, and you keep working it, the effort is not lost.
4. @Armano's #Daniela was an amazing success story and demonstrated the value of having a strong support network. People are currently better at building such networks than organizations (at least on twitter), so it is even more important to get people like @armano on your side. @armano = every twitter user. Potential downfall is exhausting your network. It is hard enough to build a community so that when the time and oportunity come to leverage what you built, evaluate the pros and cons. Is there any other cause you would do this for? How can you make it work? Would you do the same if you knew you couldn't ask for anything else for at least another year?
5. Beth Kanter's Send A Young Cambodian Woman To College campaign. Beth Kanter gives so much to the community that anything she asks can hardly be ignored. Yet she is humble and careful to not ask too much or too often.
6. The Frozen Pea Fund (also see http://frozenpeafund.com/) is another phenomenal success story. Twitter avatars with pea theme that came to be known as "peavatars", helped spread the message and became a symbol of fight against breast cancer. The story of peas was compelling enough to gather support for the cause and generate medi coverage no one thought possible.
7. @mrsrosey - "follow me and I'll donate campaign on Twitter to support Breast Cancer" (currently at 11 followers, down from 170) – for more, see Beth Kanter's post. This one generated a lot of controversy. Nobody seemed to know much about the woman with a relatively new twitter account, who pledged to give $10 for each new follower she gets to charity. There was no confirmation of this campaign on the charity's site, some thought this was a lame way to attract new followers, others thought she was creative in her fundraising approach. However, little is known about the results of this campaign. Currently, @mrsrosey is down to 11 followers. Her profile page isn't personalized and the account looks abandoned. The approach used had a potential to generate results, but the trust wasn't there and that seemed to bring the end of what looked like a creative effort.
Lessons learned:
1. Engagement is more powerful and valuable than $.
2. Build trust. More transparency is better. Let people know what you are doing, why you are doing it, when, where, and how. Prove it with documenting your actions or reporting on your progress. Showcase your digital assets (photos, videos, etc.) that help make your point more transparent, human and clear.
3. Who you are matters. Be clear on your identity and your connection to the charitable cause or a non-profit you are supporting. If you can, get acknowledgment of your efforts on their site, so that people know you are legitimate.
4. Prove it. Show people where you want your donations to go and how much you have already raised. Especially if it is a personal campaign. If you are in Canada, use CanadaHelps.org to do this, and you will be taken seriously not look like a fraud.
5. Say THANK YOU and keep in touch with your community. Nurture and grow what you have, like you would care for your dream garden. Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin are just your gardening tools.
Tools used:
Do you know of any other examples of twitter fundraising? What caught your attention? Did you participate?

text: A musician, professional songwriter, music teacher, composer or agent must carry elegantly designed and customized business cards to local club events, cultural activities, charity concerts and other functions for creating a buzz among people who can give you the right break. Refrain from making your music business cards overtly fancy. A logo along with a single compelling image conveying symphony, melody and artistic creation works well. Flamboyant cards which look more like presentations of modern art can take the prominence away from your name and make it difficult to read. Performing arts professionals can also include a picture of themselves on their cards to foster familiarity and recognition among hundreds of other artists. If you want your cards to flaunt a vintage appeal, go for templates with pictures of an old-fashioned piano surrounded by symbols of musical notes or templates that exhibit images of classic musical instruments like a charming trumpet. Singers, musical instrument players and other performing artists can grab templates with a glamorous looking microphone, a brightly lit dance floor or a guitar. The silhouette of a band of musicians and pop divas can create the perfect high energy vibe associated with modern musical trends. Design your cards using harmonizing shades that blend together like singular pieces of musical instruments to create a dazzling orchestra.

Dwayne Morgan picked up a UConn offer Saturday and is planning several official visits in January.
"UConn head coach Kevin Ollie offered and called [Saturday]," Dwayne Wise, Morgan's AAU coach, told SNY.tv.
The 6-foot-7 small forward out of Baltimore St. Frances is ranked as the No. 18 player in the Rivals150 for 2014.
He now holds offers from UConn, Maryland, Georgetown, Florida, LSU, UNLV, Indiana, South Florida, Seton Hall, Missouri, N.C. State and San Diego State.
Under a new rule that allows juniors to begin taking official visits in January of their junior year, Morgan will take officials to UNLV, Missouri and Indiana next month, Wise said.
He will also take an unofficial to South Florida next month while at a tournament here.
Morgan has already taken unofficials to Georgetown, Seton Hall and Maryland.
"He's a hybrid wing with range," Wise said. "He's very athletic defensively and can guard the 2-4 spots. He can be as good as Rudy Gay with continued development."

Other than Freeman, Hill and White, the Jets seem to be looking for a UDFA they might get lucky with.
This is a more extensive list then I had seen up to this point, nice work Steiny!
Still disappointed a few of my favorites didn't make the list......
No Tre Mason?
Thanks Steiny! Your work is always appreciated.
I wouldn't mind a RB with one of those 6th round lottery comp picks, but wouldn't particularly like taking one any time before that, unless it's someone who can also make significant impact on KR/ST.
With all the talk about WR/CB/TE, I do think OL has been overlooked somewhat, and I think the Jets will draft OL earlier than most are expecting.
TOJ had some great articles about the top OL prospects:
@ramble914 Good call. Does seem like he visited with the Jets.

RELEASED: Nov. 10, 2008
EAU CLAIRE — There is still time to register for the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's Winterim 2009, a three-week session that will run Jan. 5-23 and offer more than 60 classroom and 17 online courses.
Winterim, which has been a part of the academic calendar at UW-Eau Claire since 1996, originally offered only 13 courses.
Winterim offers exciting opportunities for students, said Interim Provost Marty Wood. During Winterim, students can earn up to three credits, enroll in high demand classes, experience smaller class sizes and enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere, he said. With more than 60 courses to choose from, there is a class of interest for everyone, he said.
For example, Dr. Ali Abootalebi will again offer "Arab-Israeli Conflict," while Dr. Geoffrey Peterson will teach "Film and Politics." Lecturer Steve Spina will teach "Introduction to Religions of the World," and the MBA program will offer "Understanding a Diverse Work Force," taught by Jesse Dixon, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
"Classical Mythology" — a popular class that focuses on Greek and Roman myths and legends that have a central place in the Western tradition — will be offered for the first time during Winterim this year. The class will be taught by Dr. Matthew Waters, associate professor of foreign languages and history.
Student registration began Oct. 6 and open registration began Oct. 17.
Information about these and other course offerings can be found on UW-Eau Claire's Registrar's Web site. Currently enrolled students and special students — including those not currently enrolled at UW-Eau Claire — can register up until the first day of class, but early registration is encouraged.
For more information, call the Registration and Scheduling office at 715-836-2425.

Audrina Patridge poses for PETA's campaign encouraging people to adopt from animal shelters. Or at least that's what they'd have you believe, and I'm calling bullshit. There's no way that's Audrina. The real one could fit at least four-five dogs between her breasts. If not eight. No dice, PETA. Just for that, I'm eating a burger – at a cock-fight. I went there.
Audrina Patridge believes in Doggy Heaven. Or something.
Cute puppy, who's the other dog?
That doesn't look a bit like her. More JLH in the face than AP.
That photo belongs on PhotoShop Disasters. WOW. Awful. She sucks, anyway.
Aha , didn`t even realize it`s her til I read it , sure thats how she looks. Gotta wonder when greenpeace starts usin half naked girls for their "save the rain forrest" and stuff like dat campaigns.
Looks like a weird Cameron Diaz/Eva Longoria mix…?!
I hate that (insert racial slur here) dog. That dog is a slut!
so what happens to the dogs who aren't bought because people chose to adopt dogs instead? are dogs at the pet store immortal?
Yeah, you should ONLY adopt dogs.
That is if you're really looking for a dog with behavioral problems, that will urinate on everything you own, that will be violently aggressive with other dogs, that you'll eventually take BACK to the pound.
It's not like there's this black and white dichotomy of "animal shelter = good, breeder = bad". In fact, MOST professional breeders would never DREAM of treating their animals in the ways that shelters do…and then kill them.
Animal shelters are horrible, depressing, medieval places and should be abolished. I'd never adopt an animal from one any more than I'd waltz down the the local mental hospital and ask to adopt a lunatic.
If she is beautiful enough to be a celebrity than why does she need to be airbrushed, photoshopped, etc?? The hottie at my local cafe is flawless, so why is this freak even bothering???? Audrina is disgusting, her face is fucking munted, her tits go west and east and you can see her fucking ribcage between them!! This is some sort of twisted conspiracy….are they all this good at giving blowjobs to Hollywood execs under their desks or WHAT?? I dont understand how ugly, freaky looking googly eyed sluts can get famous whilst there is amazingly beautiful women everywhere I go….that aren't famous.
I hope the dog bites her already fucked up face right off!!!! Alien looking WHOREBAG.
is that even her?
its so weird all this is happening when Lauren is out of town
Once an angel, always an angel. Love you Audrina! xoxo.
Nice, #11
I'd like to do her "doggy" style. i bet it feels like "heaven" inside her pussy. I bet she has the pussy of an "angel". …Alright, I'm done.
She adopted a dog and named him "Gaptits McThinlips".
She can believe in whatever she wants to in my eyes.
She's so hot…..
Whoof! whoof! I need background singers for a new song!
Has anyone every benefited from the addition of an upper lip like she has? It truly makes all the difference. They even enhanced it a little for this image. Oh, and she once displayed her snatch through a see-through bikini. I really like her.
That doesn't look like her at all? It almost looks like a cartoon.
Another chick in a Self portrait/ lay outs…Im sure this will be hanging in her living room!
I'm kind of sick of seeing celebrities on here I've never heard of. Is it me?
LOL! Her head's too big.
it'd be such a nice message from PETA if they only did their homework. i recently murdered aka purchased a puppy from a breeder, but only because most shelters and adoption agencies make it harder to adopt a puppy than adopt a kid (i mean just look at angelina…don't see a flock of dogs running around her at all times). because the shelters made it so hard on me and i got turned down for 4 different dogs that would've had a great home, i ended up buying a pup and he's happy as a clam and spoiled while those other dogs are probably still in their shelters living in their own crap…poor guys
Actually this is a great opportunity to admire the Photo Technician's skills, they should start putting their initials in a preferred angle.
So, was she Shirley's OTHER daughter? Considering how poorly Laurie played the tambourine, she must have really sucked as a musician to not be included in the family band. Wonder if Ruben banged her after one of their concerts.
Peta, you continue to be an embarrassment.
Get back to painting up nubile naked models with tiger striped titties and putting them in cages in public places. That I approve of.
Or maybe start recruiting an army of smoking hot PetaWhores who use their bodies to convince guys like me to become vegetarians – by fucking us. They could pay us surprise visits at our homes, and if no animal products are found, we are rewarded with some free sex.
Does she have a mustache??
Ironic advert considering I just read this;
"PETA's "Animal Record" report for 2008, filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, shows that the animal rights group killed 95 percent of the dogs and cats in its care last year. During all of 2008, PETA found adoptive homes for just seven pets.
Just seven animals — out of the 2,216 it took in. PETA just broke its own record."
How can anyone be stupid enough to support these people?
OK #14, you're trying way too hard.
You're the guy who used to make all those awful jokes in class, followed by that nervous self-depricating laughter, aren't you?
P.S. You might want to look into a hooker. If you're that hard-up to get laid that you fantasize about this chick, just go ahead & drop a Benjamin & be done with it.
Good point, #28. PETA is just a holding tank for belligerent morons who want to be activism middle-management, instead of actually helping animals. They want to do policy but are too good to shovel shit.
But you can't slam shelter dogs. Many of em end up there because idiot owners bought from puppy mills online or in sacchrine cutesy boutiques, and failed to train them. Some idiots don't realize the commitment to training dogs.
But you can't say all dogs there are inherently bad. I used to go to a HS shelter to spend time with and play w/ the dogs so they get some interaction. Most dogs get comfort from interaction, incl. w/ humans. There were some magnificent, calm & loyal animals there.
So help curb careless overbreeding by puppymills and give shelter dogs a chance (after you realize the commitment you're making). Don't do it b/c PETA tells you to, but because dogs should be more than a cute disposable commodity.
I mean, has anyone even noticed that she no longer has an elbow, and her arm looks like it's about 4 inches long? There really is nothing anyone can do to make this stupid-looking cunt look any better, anyway.
I love animals but I can't stand PETA and all their "shocking" stunts (which, for some reason, usually involve degrading women in some manner). Cute doggie though ^_^
I would have never guessed in a million years that that "picture" was supposed to be Audrina Patridge. Even after reading that it was her, I still don't see it. The airbrush team went a little overboard on this one!
Cute dog. Flying…stunning face. I love her. It's lucky to see more about her on rich kiss.c om. Her profile is hidden now. What a pity!
PeTA can lick my asshole. The only thing they know how to do is take people's money.
you can't recognize her without the awful cleavage
1.)I'm not a PETA supporter #28 BUT The story from the website IS a bullshit lie created by the website is on – a far right conservative organization involved with discrediting anything perceived as liberal agenda, using fear uncertainty lies. We are working to out them and their benefactors and shut it down
2.) Superficial, a cock fight? How manly is it to watch two guys duel with their pork swords, hah there, I went there, hah
3.) Lucky lucky lucky dog – for five minutes – then she stubbed a cigarette out in its butt (the cat was hiding under the couch) and tried to make it into a handbag.
We really love our pets, but other than that, we have much more serious fucking stuff to focus on than "animal rights."
Sorry, PETA, but it's that simple. You know it, don't you? That's why you stoop to such extremes to try to attract and hold our attention.
It's not working.
But thanks for the celebrity skin.
Stupid PETA. Everyone knows Speedy Gonzales is a mouse, not a dog.
Why are these people more interested in animal rights than, say ,the rights of abused children? That would be a nice ad. Abuse your child but don't you dare touch the dog. Pathetic.
PETA is chick full 'o nuts. One of their recent stunts, aimed at dog beeders, is to sneak through dog shows opening cages while the owners aren't looking, They claim this will deprive the breeders of their income and bankrupt them, not to mention cause chaos at the dog shows.
Problem is, letting breedable dogs run free means PETA is just adding to the problem they are blaming on the breedersr: adding to the population. The show dogs escape into the wild and end up just making more dogs for shelters to find homes for.
PETA has always seemed like it's run by radical people with an agenda, who spout flaming crap that blinds impressionable kids — and dumbass models — with rage.
she's pretty enough on her own, but this is so airbrushed it looks like a fucking CARTOON!!!!
buy animals means killing animals? you mean like at the butcher's when I buy tasty red meat and dodo eggs?
buying animals means killing animals? you mean like at the butcher's when I buy tasty red meat and dodo eggs?
That website is not bullshit or right wing, and those numbers are a matter of public record. How the hell are you supposed to fake something that is in black and white in Virginia's hall of records? PETA is a bunch of murdering fuck heads, and they have stated, proudly and publicly, that the animals they killed were better off dead then living in servitude and subservience to mankind.
I'd hit it.
#11 that is fucking hilarious haha
again: DON'T DO THIS AGAIN.
"PETA" sucks on all fronts!!
Good for her
But good god, what happened to her face? She looks completely different, I thought it was Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Peta doesn't suck.
That looks like a "virtual Audrina" really strange.
Whoof,whof,whooof! This is the new title of the song!

Love the look of letterpress printing and want to dig in for yourself? Unfortunately, we all don't have the space for a 1500lb letterpress, limiting our access to this beautiful craft. Come to my studio in Oakland and spend the afternoon learning about how to set lead type and the magic of letterpress printing. If you have a special paper you'd like to print on, bring it, otherwise I will provide a rainbow of ink, 100% cotton paper, a variety of lead fonts and all the tools that you will soon know what to do with.
Each student will learn how to set type, how the press operates, and set up a short phrase or a few images to their liking. We'll then take turns printing 20 copies. You will be given the opportunity to set your own piece within certain length and size parameters- so think of a project!
NOTE: This class takes places in Oakland.

The wounds of sexual assault, molestation, and rape are like ghosts haunting a woman's life. The pain and trauma are too much to think about—and then there's the fear. She's afraid her partner will find out and/or think less of her—or worse—leave her because of it.
The haunting ghosts of sexual wounding sneak into your consciousness and create emotional and energetic blocks that stop you from giving all of who you are to your beloved. They show up as disturbing thoughts, memories, and images that cause you to recoil from your beloved's touch—or if you allow him to touch you, you check-out or go numb. These same blocks create a fog of perception that prevents you from seeing your beloved for who he really is. Instead, the ghosts of your past color your perception and taint the image you hold of him so that he can never really satisfy the emotional vacancy you feel inside.
Women who've been assaulted, molested, or raped often feel ashamed because they are emotionally and sexually contracted and don't know what to do about it—or even what's wrong. You don't want to think about being a failure in your love life, or that your situation is hopeless. You want to feel safe and whole again.
Women suffering from sexual wounding often hear from the man in their life: "I don't know what's wrong with you." They live with confusion and frustration, suppressing their fear and settling for a less than completely happy life. Secretly you know that fully enjoying life and being with your beloved requires that you deal with this trauma—but it scares the hell out of you!
Sexual wounding is not a subject that can be easily talked about with friends, parents, or husbands/boyfriends and so it tends to go un-dealt with, which only makes it fester in the background until it creates problems in your love life and in your relationship with your partner.
Experience Safe Sexual Healing
You are likely here because you are one of these women who have been sexually abused or molested and you are anxious to feel whole again. You've probably been living with the pain and frustration of sexual wounding for years. Maybe you've raised a family who are now grown up and out on their own and you're ready to rid yourself of the ghosts of sexual trauma and become whole again. You're eager to resolve this issue so you can show up fully and experience your love life without contraction or limitation.
I know what it's like to be the clueless man in relationship with a woman who has experienced sexual wounding—longing to feel her love more completely and not knowing why I can't or what to do to help her. The distance between us could not be bridged by any amount of loving, or patient acceptance, it just wasn't enough. The ghosts of her molestation experience were like a wall keeping her from fully expressing and feeling her love regardless of how much I loved her or wanted to help her.
It wasn't until years after our divorce that I began to understand. Through my own process of healing and receiving counseling I realized what was the secret cause that was sabotaging my relationships—sexual wounding. It was too late for my marriage, but I could be a positive resource for other people suffering from this insidious influence.
At long last there was something I could do to help. I learned how to be a healing influence and facilitate a process of reclaiming wholeness by getting trained and certified as a sexual healer. I discovered that it is my calling and life purpose to help others in their process of reclaiming wholeness and that I am gifted with deep empathy and soul-to-soul listening.
It is possible to reconnect with the parts of you that have been impacted and suppressed by sexual assault and abuse. I can provide you with a safe environment to heal from past trauma and wounding—returning you to wholeness and feeling fully alive again.
If you're ready to begin the journey of reclaiming the parts of you that are blocking your happiness and fulfillment and fully show up in your relationship—I can help you do that.
When you're ready to begin, let's talk. Fill in the contact form below and we'll set up a free 'insight' session by phone or Skype. If that goes well for you, we can set up a program of in-person sessions with me here in the San Francisco Bay area (or if you're not local, by phone or Skype). I'll answer all your questions and give you an idea of how your sessions will go. Read more about sexual healing >>
May you be blessed and feel all of the love, eros, and aliveness that lives within you!

The Ultimate: Strawberry Ice Cream
* * * * * Toscanini's
Our exhaustive search for strawberry ice cream exemplars—with fresh dairy taste, balanced berry flavor, lively tang, and luscious texture—yielded two standouts: Toscanini's and J. P. Licks. It was such a close call that it required repeat tastings, all in the name of, you know, due diligence. But the bright fruity notes and dreamy creaminess of the Tosci's version broke the dead heat. Owner Gus Rancatore's flawless formula consists of a custard base blended with sugared strawberries and a handful of raspberries for complexity, punched up with lemon or orange zest, or, when the mood strikes, a dose of limoncello. Toscanini's, 899 Main St., Cambridge, 617-491-5877, tosci.com.
Pink-Slipped [The Runners-Up]:
* * * * 1/2 J. P. Licks: But for just a tad more zing, this creamy contender might have triumphed.
659 Centre St., Jamaica Plain, 617-524-6740, and other locations, jplicks.com

|Herbal Supplements and Lupus
The information on this page is reprinted with the written permission of the author. The Lupie Bin makes no representation or warranties with respect to any treatment, action, or application of medication or preparation by any person following the information offered or provided within this article.
How many of you take herbal remedies or other dietary supplements? How many of you are on prescription medication? If you've answered yes to both of these questions read on. Many people assume that because herbs are 'natural', they must be safe to take. Wrong. Belladonna is 'natural', and is also know as Deadly Nightshade. And it's not called 'Deadly' for the fun of it!
Of course, many herbs are safe to take and can do people a lot of good. I personally take different herbal remedies, along with my prescription medications. I must admit that when I first saw some of the information in this article I was shocked at how dangerous it can be to 'blindly' take supplements. I would always advise people considering taking any form of herbal remedy, dietary supplement, or other complementary therapy, to first consult their doctor, and wherever possible, to seek advise from a registered professional, be that a herbalist, aromatherapist or other practitioner.
As you will see from the list below, many herbs interact with Non- Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), and blood-thinning drugs, which, of course, many people with lupus take.
Bromelain (Pineapple enzyme) - May increase the effect of blood- thinning drugs (e.g. Warfarin, Heparin).
Cat's Claw - May increase the risk of bleeding if taken with blood- thinning drugs (e.g. Warfarin, Heparin).
Cayenne Pepper - Reports of possible interaction with MAO inhibitors and antihypertensive therapy (used to lower blood pressure). In large quantities, may cause damage to liver and kidneys.
Chamomile - Contains coumarin, but chamomile's effects on the body's anticoagulation system have not been studied. If used with anticoagulants such as warfarin, close monitoring by a doctor is advised.
Devil's Claw - May interfere with antacids, cardiac or diabetic medications. Use with caution is taking NSAIDs, which can irritate the stomach, as it can stimulate stomach acids.
DHEA - May cause liver damage if taking azathioprine or methotrexate. Can increase insulin resistance or sensitivity in diabetics.
Dong Quai - May interact with blood-thinning medications (e.g. Warfarin, Heparin). May increase sun sensitivity.
Echinacea - May be toxic to the liver if used for more than eight weeks. Should not be used with drugs that can cause liver problems, such as anabolic steroids, amiodarone, methotrexate and ketoconazole. Should not be given with immunosuppressants such as corticosteroids and cyclosporine because it can stimulate the immune system.
Evening primrose oil and borage (GLA) - Should not be used with anticonvulsants because they may lower the seizure threshold. Not recommended for patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. May increase the effects of anticoagulants and NSAIDs.
Feverfew - Effect on migraine headaches may be compromised by non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen. May increase blood-thinning effect of Warfarin or other anticoagulants, including NSAIDs. Not to be used if pregnant, as it may cause miscarriage.
Fish Oil (Omega-3 fatty acids) - May increase the blood-thinning effects of anticoagulants and NSAIDs.
Garlic - Should not be used with warfarin or other anticoagulents, because it affects clotting. May also interact with hypoglycemic medications, and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Ginger - Should not be used with warfarin because it affects clotting. Do not use if you have gallstones. Large quantities may interfere with cardiac, antidiabetic or anticoagulant (Warfarin, Heparin) therapy.
Gingko - Can inhibit clotting so should not be used with aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or with anticoagulants such as warfarin or heparin. Also should not be used in conjunction with anticonvulsant drugs used by epileptics, such as carbamazepine, phenytoin and phenobarbital, or with tricyclic antidepressants.
Ginseng - Should not be used with warfarin, heparin, aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs because it can inhibit clotting. Also may cause headache, tremulousness and manic episodes in patients treated with phenelzine sulfate. Should not be used with estrogens or corticosteroids because it may add to those drugs' side effects. May also interfere with the heart drug digoxin or with digoxin monitoring. Should not be used by diabetics because it can affect blood glucose levels.
Goldenseal - Should be avoided by people with high blood pressure. May interfere with anticoagulant therapy (Heparin).
Karela - Should not be used by patients with diabetes because it can affect blood glucose levels.
Kava - Should not be used with the tranquilizer alprazolam because it may result in coma. Do not take with sleeping medications or tranquilizers.
Kelp - May interfere with thyroid replacement therapies.
Licorice - Can offset the effect of the diuretic drug spironolactone. May also interfere with heart drug digoxin or with digoxin monitoring. Potassium loss due to other drugs, e.g., thiazide diuretics, can be increased.
Melatonin - Appears to boost the immune system, so should be avoided by people with autoimmune diseases, including lupus.
St. John's Wort - Can produce skin reactions to light so fair-skinned users may wish to take care and anyone taking other drugs that cause light sensitivity, such as piroxicam or tetracycline, may want to avoid this herb. The active ingredient in St. John's Wort is uncertain, so it should not be used with two common types of psychiatric drugs called monoamine oxidase inhibitors and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Tannic acid in the herb may inhibit absorption of iron. Can block the effects of drugs, including oral contraceptives, tricyclic antidepressants, cyclosporin, several heart drugs and warfarin.
Stinging Nettle - May increase the effects of tranquilizers and sedative drugs. May decrease the effect of certain cardiac and diabetic drugs.
Valerian - Should not be used with barbiturates, such as thiopental and pentobarbital -can cause excessive sedation. Do not use if taking tranquilizers or sleep medications, as it increases the effect.
White willow bark - Aspirin is made from the drug salaicin, which is contained in White Willow Bark. Do not take with aspirin or other NSAIDs, as it increases their effects. May increase the effects of anticoagulant drugs (e.g. Warfarin, Heparin).
Vitamin A - People with osteoarthritis shouldn't exceed the RDA (700 mcg for women, 900 mcg for men).
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) - May interfere with diabetic drugs.
Calcium - Do not take if you have a history of kidney stones.
Vitamin E - May increase risk of bleeding in people taking anticoagulants (e.g. Warfarin, Heparin).
Magnesium - May interact with blood pressure medications.
Zinc Sulfate - May interfere with glucocorticoids and other immunosuppressive drugs.

One year playing with the Voltric 70
I have been playing with the VT 70 for 12 months now. I'm mostly a single player, pretty hard hitter looking for control.
After trying several rackets from Yonex and other brands, i made the choice of the VT70 for its high performance & maniability!
This heavy head racket provides power for smashes but still allow a lot of controls, especially in the drop shots.
Is the VT 70 fragile? or more fragile than other rackets? i have been playing a double game recently and after a choc with my partner's racket, the frame of my VT 70 just broke on the lower part of the frame! Those unfortunate contacts happens to every badminton player but i was surprised to see that the racket of my partner was still OK. Am i unlucky? Was there a small default in my racket or am I just being unlucky? I'll never know...
Anyway, after borrowing a few other rackets and reconsidering my racket's choice.I decided to go for the VT70 another time.
Anyway, i had such a

How did Hurricane Sandy change Mansion Beach?
Last October, Hurricane Sandy bore down upon the northeast coast with the potential for wreaking great damage. Portions of New Jersey, Staten Island, and others fared the worst, and luckily Block Island received only a glancing blow. The most striking images of that storm that we will all remember include the road damage along Corn Neck Road just north of town, and along Spring Street near Pebbly Beach. Careful observation, though, shows many other significant changes that might otherwise go unnoticed. What follows is a case study based on repeated measurements of Mansion Beach. It turns out that Hurricane Sandy eroded the Mansion Beach dunes by a full 33 feet.
I first visited Block Island in 1978, and have returned practically every year. My wife has been coming to Block Island almost every year since 1956. We co-own the Appleby Family Cottage, which was built in 1968 in Sheep's Meadow. As a geologist, I have studied many beaches and learned the value of preserving their history by periodically measuring the beach profile — each profile is one snapshot in time. I wish I had begun measuring Mansion Beach back in 1978, but I only began constructing beach profiles there with the help of the family in 2007. Normally we collect data in May when we come to open the cottage, and again in August, when we spend our vacation at Block Island. Consequently, I have precise (plus or minus a few inches) beach profiles, collected two times nearly every year, for the last six years.
As the seasons come and go, the beach responds to both the erosional ravages of winter and the gentle growth that occurs each summer. In some winters the collective result of nor'easters is to remove so much sand that a layer of underlying cobbles is exposed along the upper beach. The missing sand is transported offshore and stored in shallow sand bars, although some of it no doubt gets lost forever to deeper water. Then, during most summers the gentle waves slowly move sand back onto Mansion Beach, eventually covering the cobbles. This is sand that was stored in the offshore sand bars, along with new sand that can be seen eroding from the Clayhead bluffs to the north and that gets transported southward along the beach. Our beach profiles record this evolution, and show that while the beach adjusts from season to season, the scarp separating the vegetated dunes from the beach has been nearly stationary.
This year's Mansion Beach profile was astonishingly different. The illustration shows beach profiles measured in August, 2012, and May, 2013 (please note that the profile is drawn with vertical exaggeration — the vertical and horizontal scales are not the same). Each profile begins at the same benchmark and ends at the water's edge. The August 2012 profile was typical for a late summer beach, with a lot of sand above mean high tide, and no rocks exposed. The Memorial Day (May 27) 2013 profile is a deeply eroded one, with about 20 meters of exposed rocks (mostly cobbles with smaller pebbles toward lower beach) and a large volume of "missing" sand both from the dunes and from the lower beach near the water's edge. The profiles show that the scarp retreated 10 meters, or about 33 feet, from its former location.
These two profiles show that the bluff retreated sometime between the two measurements in August 2012 and May 2013. Reports from our neighbors in Sheep's Meadow, though, indicate that our footpath to Mansion Beach, which was formerly gently sloped, was transformed into "a sharp 10-foot drop" during Hurricane Sandy. We conclude that the storm excavated a huge amount of previously constructed dune material, without much regard to the stabilizing blanket of dune grass that we hoped would help make the dunes stronger.
A major question is whether the dunes will rebuild seaward, or whether this year's loss of seashore is irreversible. No one can predict for sure, but with a steady rise in sea level (at a rate of about 1 foot per century here in Rhode Island), even if there is a steady supply of new sand coming from the Clayhead bluffs, the prospects are that Mansion Beach may need to adjust to a new normal. And with each major storm or storm season, it may have to do so again and again.
Measuring a beach profile
One of the simplest ways to record the shape of a beach, and to monitor how the beach changes with time, is to make repeated measurements of the beach profile. This involves picking a fixed inland point (like a tree) and surveying a straight line across the beach toward the water. Measurements of horizontal distance and vertical-elevation change can be made with a surveyor's transit (a telescope-like instrument that is usually attached to a bright yellow tripod), but this method involves expensive equipment. A simpler way is the Emery method, named for the late K. O. Emery of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.
Measuring a beach profile with the Emery method involves two people each with a meter stick, a yard stick, or some other standard measuring stick. At Block Island, we measured beach profiles with sticks that are 1.4 meters long. Beginning at the fixed point (benchmark), one person places a stick on the ground, straight up, and the other person measures 1.4 meters toward the sea and places a stick straight up at that point. Now, this second spot will either be higher, lower, or the same elevation as the first spot. The way to determine which is the case is to imagine a perfectly horizontal line through the top of the lower stick, and measure how much the higher stick pokes up above the line. The two beach profilers accomplish this in an ingenious way: the one with the first stick crouches down to line up the ocean horizon with the two sticks. The line from that person's eye to the distant horizon is horizontal. By sighting the horizon, the person can read off how much higher or lower the second stick is, and this value is recorded in a notebook.
After the measurement is taken (horizontal distance, and elevation change), the inshore person moves up to 1.4 meters beyond the other person, places the stick straight up, and the new inshore person makes a reading of the next elevation change. In this way, by taking turns and moving 1.4 meters closer to the water with each measurement, the pair can collect and record the data needed to plot a beach profile — it only takes about 15 or 20 minutes. The measurements are easily entered into a computer spreadsheet and plotted (see the figure accompanying the article).
David A. Vanko, Ph.D. is the Dean of the Jess and Mildred Fisher College of Science and Mathematics at Towson University. He is a geologist who researches deep-sea volcanism and hydrothermal systems. Vanko speculates that sea level at Block Island will rise between about 40 and 80 cm by the year 2100.

I met them at a campus career fair previous semester. The guy recognized me as I was their career-host. He asked me if I was free for an interview. The first interview was at our campus. There were two guys. Started with personal question, 'tell me about yourself'. Then he went on to C programming. He asked me about bound checking in arrays. If you have a nxn character array and if you have to access a random element in the given random array, how do you do it. I said for eg a 3rd character in a 4th array is a[4][3]. Then he asked me to give a different method. I couldn't. The other method is if you know the address of the first element you can calculate the others since arrays are stored in contiguous locations. He asked me about my technical projects. He asked me about experience with linux. I had none. I think this was the main issue. They looked disappointed when I said no. Apart from that, the other questions were not too hard. He also asked how recursive functions stored their data. I said stacks. that was correct.Interview Questions

COMMON SENSE: Privatizing Piracy Protection
WASHINGTON. Piracy has long been the consequence of disorder. America's first foreign war—undeclared but authorized by Congress—was waged by President Thomas Jefferson against the Barbary pirates. It is instructive history for those who believe that the problem of Somali piracy can be solved the same way. By the late 1700s, the European powers were incapable of maintaining maritime law and order, and Islamic piracy became a flourishing enterprise in the Mediterranean and along the Atlantic coast of North Africa. Despite tribute payments to the "governments" in Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli and Morocco by the British, French and new American governments, merchant mariners were at risk of being taken hostage for ransom and having their ships and cargoes sunk or stolen.
By the time of Jefferson's inauguration, in 1801, American ransoms and tributes amounted to more than $1 million per year—nearly one-fifth of the U.S. budget. Jefferson pledged to end the payments and dispatched—with Congressional approval—the nascent U.S. Navy to protect American-flagged merchant vessels and prosecute a naval campaign against the pasha of Tripoli. It almost worked.
In February 1804, U.S. Navy Lt. Stephen Decatur succeeded in boarding and destroying a captured U.S. combatant—the USS Philadelphia—and liberating surviving members of the ship's imprisoned crew. A year later, a small party of U.S. Marines and mercenaries led by U.S. Marine Lt. Presley O'Bannon conducted an intrepid overland expedition to assault Derna and force the surrender of the Tripolitan leader, Yussif Karamanli. The Mameluke sword he surrendered to O'Bannon is memorialized to this day in the dress sword worn by Marine officers and by the line "to the shores of Tripoli" in the "Marines' Hymn." It seemed like a glorious victory for American arms. But it wasn't.
Though Jefferson had pledged "not 1 cent for tribute," the treaty ending what came to be called the "First Barbary War" provided $60,000 in ransom for the 300 or so American citizens being held by the defeated government. Jefferson and Congress acquiesced because of the value they placed on American lives. It was a precedent that I came to know well.
By 1984, Beirut, Lebanon, was the most lawless place on the planet. Organized terror cells and "freelance" criminal gangs routinely took Westerners hostage and held them for ransom. Those they couldn't "sell" were often killed. Then Hezbollah—the radical Islamic terror group organized and operated by the theocratic government in Tehran, Iran—began snatching Americans. There were no military options, and more than a dozen diplomatic initiatives failed to win the release of any of those being held.
Then in 1985, at the behest of his chief of staff, Don Regan, President Ronald Reagan met personally with the families of Americans taken hostage in Beirut. After hearing directly from the anguished wives, children and other loved ones of those being held, we were ordered to "do what's necessary" to obtain their release. That meant paying ransom. And that's what we did, not directly to the hostage holders but to those who controlled Hezbollah—the Iranians.
Though the initiative resulted in the release of three of the hostages, it also reinforced the idea, begun in the 1700s, that Westerners in general—and Americans in particular—will pay ransom for their citizens. That lesson has been learned well by pirates armed with AK-47s and RPGs sailing from lawless, chaotic Somalia.
Thus far this year, there have been more than 300 attacks against merchant ships and commercial fishing vessels off the Somali coast. Sixty-five craft have been hijacked and more than 300 crewmen have been taken hostage. Shipping companies and insurers are estimated to have paid out more than $40 million in ransoms for the release of ships' crews and cargoes, and insurance rates have reached more than $30,000 per day. NATO, the Indian Navy, the Persian Gulf powers, Russia and the U.S. all have deployed combatants to the area. It hasn't worked. In fact, the piracy is getting worse. On Nov. 18, the same day an Indian naval frigate sank a pirate "mother ship," three other vessels were hijacked.
The U.N. Security Council has resolved to impose new sanctions on "those who support piracy." The European Union promises to dispatch a naval task force in December to the Gulf of Aden. Unless shippers and commercial fishermen agree to convoy their vessels, these measures are all but meaningless. Everyone knows that the only reasonable long-term solution to the piracy problem is to re-establish the rule of law in Somalia. And everyone—including the pirates—knows that's unlikely to happen for years. Advocates of using military force to "clean out the pirates' nests ashore" apparently have forgotten global media opprobrium over collateral damage and civilian casualties. Posting a battleship offshore might send the right message, but we don't have them anymore.
The only reasonable short-term solution is having well-armed security personnel on merchant ships plying these dangerous waters. Because there are insufficient numbers of these men in the armed forces of the nations involved, it will have to be "privatized." Insurers and shippers may not like it, and the global disarmament lobby may find the concept of armed "security contractors" offensive, but until pirates have to pay a terrible price for trying to seize a vessel at sea, they are unlikely to stop.
