Love Color and Fit
These jeans are a perfect fit for my body type with a small waist and wide hips. The color is rich although I haven't washed them as yet.
Houston, TX
Great figure shaper
When my husband saw these animal print jeans on me he said "Wow, where did you get those sexy pants!", I said "You bought them for me at Christmas!", He replied, "I'll buy you ten more pairs because they look great on you!" Unfortunately, they only come in one color so I have to be happy with one red pair, which I Love the fit and feel. Wish you had them in more colors so I could take advantage of my husband's offer!!!

MPD's Guide to St Patrick's Day
Off-Base March 17th, 2010
It's that time of year again, St. Patrick's Day. Along with Cinco De Mayo and someone else's birthday, it's one of the world's greatest excuses to get drunk for no real reason. Many children have been sired on this day and many people have gotten their first taste of the long arm of the law during a St. Patty's Day celebration. It's a shame really that some people have to ruin a perfectly good drinking day by getting into some sort of trouble. Luckily, your past problems will remain there because from today and on into the future you will have this guide to get you through. You are welcome.

Juggling Helps to Donate to Ankeny's Miracle League Field & All-Inclusive Playground
On August 17th, twelve Iowa Rush players juggled for a great cause in the first ever Juggle-thon! Their efforts helped to raise $750.00 for the Ankeny Miracle League and Playground, which is a facility specifically designed for children with disabilities. The Miracle League Field & All-Inclusive Playground is located in Hawkeye Park in Ankeny and will provide children with special needs and their families:
· A non-competitive co-ed baseball league
· A custom field made of cushioned, rubberized turf that is flat and free from obstacles
· A network of "Buddies" to teach, assist and protect players during play
· A 100% accessible playground on a rubberized surface
· A playground that focuses on maximum "play value" with an emphasis on inclusive play
· A sensory rich playground experience catering to kids with physical, cognitive and sensory disabilities
Iowa Rush was able to present our donation last Saturday, September 7th, to Ryan Penning and the Ankeny Miracle League at their home opener. Joining Executive Director Paul Fabry and Chair of the Fall Family Fun Day Committee Candice Fabry for the check presentation were three players who hit the 1,000 juggle mark at the juggle-thon (left to right in photo); Ashley Harrington, Emma DeCosta, and Luke DeCosta.
Iowa Rush would like to thank all the players who participated in the Juggle-thon, and all those who donated to the Ankeny Miracle League Field & All-Inclusive Playground. For more information on the Ankeny Miracle League Field & All-Inclusive Playground, please click on their website: http://www.ankenymiracleleague.com/.
We look forward to holding future Juggle-thons to benefit great causes and efforts in our Ankeny community and the greater Des Moines metro area.

right now,my life is a complete mess.the only thing that keeps me sane is music, strangely sad songs.do you gain strength from sad songs?what's the saddest song you ever heard?
right now,my life is a complete mess.the only thing that keeps me sane is music, strangely sad songs.do you gain strength from sad songs?what's the saddest song you ever heard?
Right now I must think of "Haven" from our beloved The_Pianist "Geri".....
Never forget...how I started to cry in front of my PC while hearing this wonderful piece of music...
Fast Car by Tracy Chapman
Not only are the words sad, but the melody is very haunting.
You look like a perfect fit/ For a girl in need of a tourniquet/ But can you save me/ Come on and save me
If you could save me/ From the ranks of the freaks/ Who suspect they could never love anyone - Aimee Mann "Save Me"
Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday
Seven trees
Bearin strange fruit
Blood on the leaves
And blood at the roots
Black bodies
Swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin
From the poplar trees
Pastoral scene
Of the gallant south
Them big bulging eyes
And the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolia
Clean and fresh
Then the sudden smell
Of burnin flesh
Here is a fruit
For the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather
For the wind to suck
For the sun to rot
For the leaves to drop
Here is
Strange and bitter crop
As singed by billie holiday
Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter cry.
many songs from nick cave *sigh*
Check out my very own Body Hair Lovers and Photography Groups!
I also deal with tough times with sad music. It almost inspires me. I dont think that makes sense, but it works!
One of my all time favorite sad songs is Breakdown by Mariah Carey
Everything Will Be All Right - the Killers.
I cannot leave here, I cannot stay
Forever haunted, more than afraid
Asphyxiate on words I would say
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share for you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me
I cannot stay here, I cannot leave
Just like all I loved, I'm make believe
Imagined heart, I disappear
Seems... no one will appear here and make me real
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me
I'd tell you how it haunts me
I'd tell you how it haunts me
Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams
I'd tell you how it haunts me
Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams
You don't care that it haunts me
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me
Just how much this hurts me
Just how much you...
AFI - This Time Imperfect
Fade to black by Metallica
Life it seems will fade away,
Drifting farther everyday.
Getting lost within myself,
nothing matter noone else.
I have lost the will to live.
Simply nothing more to give.
There is nothing more for me,
I need the end to set me free.
Things aren't what they used to be.
I'm missing one inside of me.
Deathly loss, this can't be real.
I cannot stand this hell I feel.
Emptiness is filling me,
to the point of agony.
Growing darkness taking dawn.
Yeah I was me but now he's gone.
No one but me can save myself,
but it's too late.
Now I can't think,
Think why I should even try, who knows?
Yesterday seems as though it never existed,
but death greets me warm.
Now I will just say goodbye...Goodbye.
This song drove multiple people through the world to suicide.
Monkies for marshmellows,
Blink 182-Adam's Song. For a while I used to listen to the song and never pay attention to the lyrics until one day I did and I realized what a sad song it was.
I think "My My Hey Hey" by Neil Young is very sad cos I always think of the tragic suicide of Cobain. Almost makes you feel suicidal
I think "Heroes" is really sad as it's about a couple expressing their love in a repressive communist regime. They get shot later on in the song. Bowie's vocals have never sounded better or more desperate than before. Brian Eno's influence in this song is perfect with the synthesisers.
"I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME" -- Bonnie Raitt
There are so many sad songs. I seem to gravitate toward them. Right now, it's a song on the Annie Lennox CD "Bare". It's called "Oh God (Prayer).
Oh God
Where are you now
And what are you gonna do
About the mess I've made
If there was ever a soul to save
It must be me
It must be me
Dear God
Oh how can I survive
Will I make this drop, this dive
When it all comes to this
I'm looking down at a big abyss
Where you don't exist
You don't exist.
But if you hear me
If you can see me
I know I can't be that strong
Cause everything I ever did went wrong
Everything I ever did
Went wrong
Oh God
Now where do I come in?
Gone and broken everything
So I hope you understand
Someone needed a helping hand
It must be now
It must be now
This song wrenches me everytime I hear it. It's almost tangible sadness makes my heart sink.
the intermezzo from Callaveria Rusticana, by Mascagni
"The Rose" by Bette Midler. It's a beautiful song, but when bartending I saw it really bring down the mood in the bar everytime it was played on the juke box.
I second that. I love that song, but it's very depressing. It's so powerful, and the way she sings it, OMG. It's definetely a quality song.Originally Posted by SomethingBlue
olk old song called "Blowin' in the Wind".
"The answer my friend, is blowin in the wind, the answer is blowin in the wind".
"Picture" by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow always makes me sad.
this woman's work by kate bush
Its a toss up between Gladys Knights" Sorry Doesn"t Always Make it Right" It starts off kinda like somewhere over the rainbow, but changes into a masterpiece after the eighth bar. "Baby there's no easy way to here the words I'm sorry , I don't love you..... Or the other one is Larry Gatlins "The Heart". This was from his first album, when he was a hungry young artist. ...I know I had it happen to me time and time again, and it feels like being turned down by your one and only friend. So don't fool yourself by saying that it won"t hurt the pain ain't real. So easy to hurt, but oh so hard to heal...
WowOriginally Posted by ihahp33
You know I have listened to that song hundreds of time and never notices it till I read your post. Then I read the lyrics, and you are right. It is sad.
I think one of the saddest I have ever heard was not really a song as such.
Its a work by Barber called Adaggio for Strings. Whenever I hear that it just makes me totally sad. Its a great piece tho, just very sad.
As a second, I would have to pick Go rest high on that mountain, by Vince Gill.
I heard that one night while I was talking to the bf of one of my friends. I had just been informed that he had been attacked and nearly killed, just for being gay. His bf was telling me about this, that song started to paly, and I was a bawling wreck.
Can't Cry Hard Enough by Williams Brothers (revived by Bellefire)
as well as Bridge Over Troubled Waters by Simon and Garfunkel
- they both remind me of my cousin who died of leukemia... her favorite songs
Tracy Chapman's fast car is an obvious pick Another one I like is
Roy Orbison - Crying,
or the spanish version on Mulholland Drive:
I have a whole folder of depressing MP3s on my computer for those moments when ya just feel like feeling sorry for yourself. Among the contents:
Tori Amos - 1000 Oceans
Tori Amos - Winter
Sarah McLaughlin - Angel
Dido - White Flag
Mariah Carey - My All
Also, for some reason, a lot of love songs depress me, such as Monica's "Angel of Mine" and things like that. I'm not sure why, really....
Travelin' Soldier-Dixie Chicks
"Everybody Hurts" - REM
I have many... two I'll share right now are "Hey Jupiter" by Tori Amos & "Never thought I'd see the day" by Sade
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer - Stevie Wonder. Only because, he did leave in summer :-(
Porn for Patric: is my blog about porn sites and porn stars, guys I find hot and some of my photography
Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. Good call. It's very sad.Originally Posted by acenchad2
Also "You Were Mine" by the Dixie Chicks.
Top of the World by Dixie Chicks is very sad too.
The Day B4 U came, by ABBA.
thanx for the post of the spanish version of crying.the first time i heard that version in the movie,i cried.i am such a sucker for sad songs.
"These are the Days of Our Lives" by Queen - resleased just after Fred died.....
two songs by barbra streisand: "some good things never last" and "with one more look at you". the latter one is makes me cry though.
Just like Japanese Porn. Weird but Hot.
too many to mention. right now I am listening to My Chemical Romance's "Ghost of you" and that one's "sad" too. one of the best songs on their album.
I would say for me it has to be Memories from Andrew Lloyd Weber.
"Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun"
Especially this part...
"Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning"
The reason is that my mother died on A Sunday morning just as the sun was rising.
The Morning After (Maureen McGovern)
Forever Young (Alphaville)
Help Me Make It Through The Night (Gladys Knight)

Yes I remember that. They mentioned it while they were sniffing glue and talking about the guy's gay brother.Originally Posted by hella
As usual your music picks are always amazing.
Bjork - Scatterheart
Ani difranco - Sorry I am
Fiona Apple - Never is a Promise
PJ Harvey - Is that all there is
The saddest songs i have heard are the following:
''My Immortal'', Evanescence
''Listen to your Heart'', D.H.T.
I'm so tired of being here
suppresed by all my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish you would just leave
cause your presence still lingers here
and it wont seem to leave me alone
these wounds wont seem to heel
this pain is just to real
there's just to much that time cannot erase
When you cried i'd wipe a way all of your tears
When you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
And i held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me
By your responating light
But now i'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
these wounds wont seem to heal
this pain is just to real
there's just to much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that your gone
And though you still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years but you still have
all of me
Buy the evanesence album and experience for yourself
all done on piano
May it be with Enya.. Cant count all the times i cried to that song.
Carnival Town with Norah Jones always gets me in a sad mood;
Round 'n round
Has got you under it's spell
Moving so fast...but
Going nowhere
Up 'n down
Ferris wheel
Tell me how does it feel
To be so high...
Looking down here
Is it lonely?
Did the clown
Make you smile
He was only your fool for a while
Now he's gone back home
And left you wandering there
Is it lonely?
Norah Jones gives me the chills everytime I hear her.
if by Bread
and there is this country song, im not a big country song fan but at the time of my life that this song came out, it really got to me. I think it might be Alen Jackson. it was so sad and about him loosing the person he loved and at the same time was happy for them having someone new, because the person he loved happyness was more improtant than his, it really got to me, because someone that loves you that much, wow, I have loved that much and just dream that someday someone will love me that way.
Family Portrait - Pink
My immortal - Evanescence
and enya's songs
I keep asking myself, wondering how I keep closing my eyes but I can't block you out, Wanna fly to a place where it's just you and me Nobody else so we can be free...
The Carnival is Over - The Seekers
Lullaby in Blue - Bette Midler!!!!
Roy Orbison - Crying,

Do you love what you do?
Do you go to work every day and try to master your job and feel deeply that it matters? Do you believe that you can, through sheer excellence, make it matter even more?
Roger Ebert did.
He loved everything he ever did, and made it matter to all of us, perhaps because he chose wisely.
Roger loved the movies and big ideas and great conversation and hard work. He loved the very idea of living a full and examined life, and he was an inspiration to millions of others. Movie fans adored Roger, of course, but so did all of us who at times can feel that electric surge that is life itself.
Speaking of the vitality of youth, Dylan Thomas once wrote — and Roger would appreciate the literary allusion — "The force that through the green fuse drives the flower drives my green age." That was Roger, a life force, and it did not fade as his green age grew grey.
Roger grew up in Urbana, a pudgy only child, a questioning Catholic boy, in the thrall even then of movies and journalism and ideas, and blessed even then with a stunning work ethic. As a kid in high school, he would work all night covering sports for the local paper, then hit the bars — underage — with those glamorous local reporters he couldn't get enough of.
Roger moved on to the big city, Chicago, and could never get enough of that, either. He cranked out the smartest stories for the Sun-Times, always delivered in deceptively simple Midwestern prose. Then he'd schmooze into the wee hours with the likes of Nelson Algren and Mike Royko at Riccardo's and the Billy Goat and, best of all, O'Rourke's.
But when the drinking got the best of him, Roger quit cold. He wanted to do so much more of everything else — he knew he had it in him — and the drinking got in the way.
Roger was unafraid to try his hand. There was his great TV movie review show, "Sneak Previews," with his unlikely friend and competitor, Gene Siskel. There was an awful screenplay. And a better novel. And an excellent blog that should have won him his second Pulitzer Prize.
And we who were lucky to work with him, we who felt such intense pride in being Chicago Sun-Times journalists simply because Roger was one of us, we were all better for his example and friendship.
Roger grew wiser with age. A bit less prideful. A good deal more forgiving. You could see it in his film reviews which, frankly, turned more thumbs up over time. Roger did not agree this was so — he was as tough as ever, he would insist. But he also once wrote, late in life, that while it is easy to find fault in a film or in any work of art, our obligation to each other is to see and appreciate that which is great.
That was our Roger. To his dying day, he could grow as excited as a little boy at a carnival when he discovered something of true excellence. And then he would tell everybody — he just had to.
In so doing, Roger Ebert achieved a rare greatness of his own.

Think you can put social media in a box? Taylor Swift proves otherwise
The Prime Minister might be prepared to shake off social media as 'electonic graffiti', but the traditional media impressions gained by the Taylor Swift Hottest 100 campaign tell a different story, argues Patrick Baume. The P.M. again called social media 'electronic graffiti' over the weekend, after he faced extensive social and traditional media criticism over his decision to award Prince Philip an Australian knighthood, on the same day Triple J shot down the #Tay4Hottest100 campaign. So if both ends of the cultural spectrum are saying it's ok to 'ignore' social media, there must be some truth there, right? -
New gadgets and gimmicks to keep us watching sport live on TV
TV networks are investing in new gadgets, camera angles and social media devices to keep viewers hooked on live sport. In this cross-posting from The Conversation Marc C-Scott of Victoria University looks at what's coming next. Australia's love of sport appears to be more from in front of a TV screen than actually attending any event live, and that could be on the increase given some of the new technology heading our way. Samsung has confirmed that its new Sports Live app – on display at this year's Consumer Electronic Show in the US – will be available in Australia later this year, but for which sport codes has still to be announced. -
Sustainable competitive advantage: the fallacy
The speed of change in business means the notion of businesses having a sustainable competitive advantage is no longer a reality argues Dan Monheit. Sustainable competitive advantage. What a beautiful, romantic, delusional idea. An idea that somehow still gets plenty of airplay. -
Content marketing predictions: Why I've ditched my crystal ball
Last year Cameron Upshall made a series of bold predictions on how the content marketing world in Australia would develop in 2014. Here he bemoans the lack of change. Australian brands had a fair old crack at content marketing in 2014. But unfortunately the market didn't mature as fast as I thought it would in 12 months. This means the content marketing milestones I predicted we would reach by now are still a fair way off. -
Why #tay4hottest100 is good for Triple J
The campaign to get a Taylor Swift song into the Triple J Hottest 100 has created a lot of column inches in recent days. Matt Saraceni argues the controversy is good for the station and how it should capitalise on #tay4hottest100 come Australia Day. If Taylor Swift places Number one in the Triple J Hottest 100 -- I will eat a hat. Any hat you care to name I will consume it. There is absolutely no way that will happen. I'd bet a nudie run on it. In fact I am. However, "Shake it Off" appearing in the countdown will be one of the best things to happen to Triple J and its audiences and everybody should be hoping it happens. Let me explain…. -
A first look at Stan
Yesterday streaming service Stan invited some members of the public to have a first look at the new platform. Mumbrella editor Alex Hayes looks at what it has to offer. Of all the streaming services being talked about at the moment (and yes there are a lot - Presto, Netflix, Quickflix etc.) the one that's most intrigued me is the joint offering from Nine Entertainment and Fairfax Media - Stan. So when I got the invite to have a preview of it which went out to the public yesterday, I leapt at it. However, my initial impressions were not good. -
Suffering from a talent crisis? Get off your backside and grow your own
The industry constantly bemoans a lack of skilled new employees. In this opinion piece David Ponce de Leon argues they need to do more to help nurture the talent. The skills shortage issue continues to be a challenge for different sectors of the communications industry and at the dawn of a new year the topic seems to be heating up again. Everybody is talking about how hard is to find the right talent or the right skills for their own particular business needs. It's almost as if a good old whine about the skills shortage 'crisis' has become the norm. -
Never tell anyone outside the agency what you're thinking
It might not be the mafia, but agencies require a cone of silence about their internal workings to the outside world argues Eaon Pritchard. At the beginning of 'The Godfather', Santino 'Sonny' Corleone is in a clandestine meeting with Virgil 'The Turk' Sollozzo in which they discuss a potential partnership in Sollozzo's nascent heroin business. -
Virtual Reality: changing games or game changer?
Virtual reality technology is becoming a hot property. Here Tyler Greerasks whether it will really have a reach beyond video games. One day back in the early 90s I switched off the Sega Mega Drive and got myself along to an exhibition touting itself as the new frontier in gaming: virtual reality. Strapped in to a cumbersome, heavy piece of machinery I played Dactyl Nightmare, a dreadful Cubist nightmare which left me disoriented, ill, and disappointed for the state of the machine-human relationship. Not fast enough could I return to Sonic the Hedgehog and my new-found appreciation for the human-couch relationship. -
Social influencers and the law - where does it stand on disclosure?
After Australia Post was found to be paying for social media endorsements which were not disclosed and with more brands looking to social media influencers in their campaigns, Stephen von Muenster looks at where the law currently stands on the issue. It is evident from a casual gaze through social pages or comms industry commentary that brands are turning to 'social influencers' to promote their products through online social channels with the intent of influencing consumer purchasing decisions in favour of their products. -
The ten ideas from CES I wish I'd had
With over 3,600 exhibitors and hundreds of speakers there were a lot of new ideas and inventions at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas this year. Here Jonathan Pease distills them to the ten he's most jealous of. B BOOTH – They call themselves 'The Talent Discovery Company' and the concept is simple. Imagine a casting booth where anyone can audition for anything they like – modelling, acting, reality TV, singing, etc. -
It's just social media management, right?
While many people don't know the difference between a social media manager and community managers Venessa Paech argues defining which one you need for a role is vital for success. I've led social media and community management for companies, hired, and worked with many social media managers and community managers. Let's be honest – the two roles are often confused. The number of blog posts trying to explain the difference should be a tip-off. -
Credit where it's due: MLA's lamb campaigns
As the MLA unveils its latest Australia Day lamb ad we give Credit Where It's Due to the legacy of clever campaigns which have come before it. Selling lamb is not the most glamorous of briefs for any marketer or agency, but somehow every year Meat and Livestock Australia's Australia Day campaign captures the public's attention. -
How can you charge your mobile campaigns?
While mobile is taking an increasingly large chunk of consumers' time marketers are slow to divert their ad spend. Google's Lisa Bora looks at how it can be used effectively to make compelling campaigns. Does size matter? When it comes to screens, Australian advertisers seem to think so, devoting just 8 per cent of total ad spend in Australia to mobile, despite them taking up a third of total daily media consumption. Will this change in 2015? Many Aussie advertisers say that they recognise the importance of mobile but are uncertain how to proceed. -
Charlie Hebdo offends – and we must defend its right to do so
In this cross-posting from The Conversation Bill Durodie of the University of Bath argues in the wake of the attack on Charlie Hebdo offices by gunmen society and the media have a duty to overcome the censorious culture which has seeped into Western societies. The motive behind the tragic shootings at the headquarters of satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris has not yet been confirmed but it seems clear that there is a link between the publication's stance on controversial content and the decision by several masked gunmen to launch such a murderous attack against the staff. The perpetrators of the attack, in which 12 were killed and several more critically wounded, must be apprehended – but, more broadly, we also need to reaffirm the importance of absolute freedom of expression in an open society – regardless of how offensive it might be to some and, on occasion, how puerile it may become. The solution to bad ideas – as the enlightenment philosopher John Stuart Mill noted – is not censorship but more speech with which to counter them.

Beachwatch 2013 - a great success
On Saturday 21st September Amgueddfa Cymru ran their annual Beachwatch event. This involved fantastic family science activities in the morning attended by 41 members of the public and seven members of staff. Participants looked at strandline and rockpool animals and seaweeds as well as fossilised corals and snails. Inspired by the fossils and shells that they had seen, the children went on to create wonderful pieces of artwork using Plaster of Paris on the wet sand of the beach.
After lunch, the volunteers gathered to clean the beach and do a litter survey recording all the items they found. The beach clean was attended by 59 volunteers including many of the families from the morning activities.
The results will be sent to the Marine Conservation Society who will collect the data from this beach and hundreds of other UK beaches that were cleaned this weekend. As well as making the beach safer for people and marine life, the Marine Conservation Society also use the data to find out where beach litter comes from and contribute to marine conservation.
As you can see from the photo we found a lot of rubbish including 9 tyres, half a canoe and a traffic cone! A huge thank you to our wonderful volunteers, Ogmore Beach now looks even more beautiful!
3 days to Beachwatch!
BEATCHWATCH – Saturday 21 September
10.30am – 12pm. Amgueddfa Cymru staff will be running fun family activities for the public to help them learn about the biology and geology of Ogmore beach. They will be looking at rock pools, strandlines, rocks and fossils along the shore.This year we will also have a fun ART activity involving plaster of paris and seashells. These morning activities are now fully booked, but you can still come along in the afternnoon to help out with the beach clean.
1pm – 2.30pm. Help with the Marine Conservation Society's annual beach clean (Open to all).
Where: Ogmore Beach, Vale of Glamorgan. Meeting on the beach at Ogmore beach car park – down the ramp in front of the lifeguard centre.
Suitable for all ages, hope to see you there.
A batty summer at St Fagans!
I don't know about you, but I cannot believe how quickly August flew by! It seems as if it was only yesterday that schools were breaking up, but now it is already time for us to welcome school visits again for a brand new school year!
This summer was slightly different for myself in St Fagans. Due to the redevelopment project we have lost use of the Tŷ Gwyrdd eco house, so our summer events this year had a slightly more nomadic feel than normal! It was nice to visit other parts of the museum and to explore some of the wildlife found in different places.
In total this summer, around 1000 people took part in a variety of nature activities within the museum, from minibeast bug hunts in the woods to our very popular twilight bat walks around the site.
The summer began with us re-opening the bird hide at its new location near Hendre Wen barn. After initial worries of whether we would attract similar numbers of birds as the previous location, I was very relieved after spending 30 minutes in the hide and spotting 11 different species. Hopefully we will continue to attract such a wide variety of birds to our feeders. The bird hide is open every day, so on your next visit be sure to pop in and see what you spot!
In August we had a bit of a bat scare at the Tannery. The Tannery building is home to a roost of rare Lesser Horseshoe bats. A small electrical fire broke out one morning in the room directly below the roof space where the bats normally roost. Thankfully a quick response from South Wales Fire and Rescue Service ensured that the fire did not spread. Luckily, the bats had flown to an area of the building unaffected by the fire. The story even made it onto the BBC website! Thanks to Anwen for the pictures!
The bats have now returned to their normal roosting spot and they seem to have been largely unaffected by the event. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for our bat camera which is situated in the building. A combination of smoke and water damage means that we will have to replace the camera, which we will be doing as soon as possible!
Bats at St Fagans seem to be going from strength to strength. We have 11 of the 18 British species known roosting within the museum grounds, including the elusive Nathusius Pipistrelle bat which has been found roosting in 2 of our buildings. Previous to this, there were only 2 known roosting locations for this species in the whole of Wales. This story also made the news recently!
This year we held 3 Twilight Batwalks, all of which booked up well in advance. Thanks to all who came and apologies to anyone who tried to book but were unable to! Next year we are planning on having 4 walks throughout August, with the possibility of more depending on demand! If you came on one of our batwalks, or took part in any nature events this summer, please let us know what you though, either by commenting here or sending an us an email!
Finally a big thanks to our new team of volunteers who helped out over the summer! Having an extra pair or two of hands during workshops and events is invaluable and means that we can offer a better experience to our visitors. I look forward to working with you again in the near future!

One should never underestimate the power of layering. Just as a cool vest can turn a basic tee into something more impactful, so, too, can using both cream and powder eyeshadows up the color and wow factor of your eye look.
The trick to mixing these two textures successfully is all about the application. Watch the video to see just how to do it — you'll be seriously amazed (and stoked) at just how easy it is to do. Bonus (as if you needed one): Layering can also actually make your shadow stay in place longer, as the powder will set the cream and lock it in place. We love a good win-win scenario.

I have created/modified a Lackey LCG plugin based on the plugin originally made my Jaume. There is a new site for it at "http://sites.google.com/site/callofcthulhulcg/". It is currently up to date with all LCG cards through the Sleeper series. I'll be keeping it up to date as new packs are released.
Installing and updating is done through Lackey's auto-update feature.
------- Initial Installation
Instructions for this can be found here: http://www.lackeyccg.com/tutorial.html#installinglackey
------- Install the Call of Cthulhu LCG plugin
1) Start up the Lacky CCG program.
2) Click on the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen.
3) Towards the bottom of the screen is an AutoUpdate section with a button labeled "Update from URL:" In the textbox for that, enter: http://sites.google.com/site/callofcthulhulcg/update/updatelist.txt and click the "Update from URL:".
4) The program will now download the basics of the plugin and inform you that you need to restart Lackey. Go ahead and restart Lackey.
5) When the program restarts, go back to the "Preferences" tab.
6) In the same "AutoUpdate" section, now click on the button marked "Download Missing Card Images"
7) You're good to go.
Step 6 will take awhile the first time you install the plugin as it has to download all the images.
------- Update the Call of Cthulhu LCG plugin
Whenever a new update occurs, you'll most likely want to download the new cards. All you need to do is repeat steps 2-7 above. It will go *much* faster doing the small 20 card updates. It seems a bit cumbersome, but once you get used to it, it takes only a few seconds to do.
------- Working with Nyarlazorbec's Deck Builder
Nyarlazorbec did us all a HUGE favor, and built in an ability to export from his Deck Builder to the Lackey format. There is a deck builder in Lackey, but I feel that Nyarlazorbec's is infinitely better. Plus, it allows you to just do everything in one location and keep it in sync.
1) Build/Update your deck in Nyarlazorbec's Deck Builder
2) Click the "Export" button at the top.
3) Choose the "XML online format (LCG only) option and the "File" option.
4) Click "OK"
5) Save the file in the directory: LACKEY_INSTALL_DIRECTORY/plugins/cthulhu_lcg/decks/
( note: LACKEY_INSTALL_DIRECTORY is the location you installed Lackey, something like: c:/lackey )
6) All done.
For more information on Lackey, installation, plugins, etc please see the Lackey page itself at http://www.lackeyccg.com/
For more information on Nyarlazorbec's Call of Cthulhu Deck builder please see: http://eric.minet.free.fr/cocbuilder/

Doctrinal Statement
Paul Quinn College, its students and employees, affirm the Biblical and theological foundations of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and commit ourselves to fulfilling the mission and philosophy of education that reflects our foundations. These beliefs are enumerated in the Articles of Religion, the Standard Sermons of John Wesley, and the Apostle's Creed.
Apostle's Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead; and buried. The third day he arose from the dead' he ascended into heaven and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Church Universal, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.
Foundational Beliefs
The Trinity: There is but one living and true God, everlasting, without body or parts, of infinite power, wisdom and goodness; the maker and preserver of all things, both visible and invisible. And in unity of this God-head, there are three persons of one substance, power and eternity; the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost (Article I).
Deity and humanity of Christ: The Son, who is the Word of the Father, the very and eternal God, of one substance with the Father, took man's nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin; so that two whole and perfect natures, that is to say, the God-head and manhood, were joined together in one person, never to be divided, whereof is one Christ, very God and very man, who suffered, was crucified, dead and buried, to reconcile his Father to us, and to be a sacrifice, not only for original guilt, but also for actual sins of men (Article II).
The Bible: The Bible is primary, authoritative and informative in all matters of faith and practice; all Scripture is given by inspiration of God (2 Tim. 3:16-17). The Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation; so that whatever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man, that it should be believed as an article of faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation. In the name of the Holy Scriptures, we do understand those canonical books of the Old and New Testament, of whose authority was never any doubt in the Church (Article IV).
Creation: God is creator of all. (Genesis 1:1) "All things where made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made" (John 1:3). We agree with John Wesley (Sermon 56) when he said, "When God created the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, at the conclusion of each day's work it is said, 'And God saw that it was good' " (Genesis 1:1-27). Thus, we believe that creation occurred in six literal days.
Redemption: Not every sin willingly committed after justification is the sin against the Holy Ghost, and unpardonable. Wherefore, the grant of repentance is not to be denied to such as fall into sin after justification. After we have received the Holy Ghost, we may depart from grace given, and fall into sin, and by the grace of God, rise again, and amend your lives. And therefore they are to be condemned who say they can do no more sin as long as they live here; or deny the place of forgiveness to such as truly repent (Article XII).
Salvation: We are accounted righteous before God only for the merit of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, by faith, and not by our own works or deserving; wherefore, that we are justified by faith only, is a most wholesome doctrine, and very full of comfort (Article IX).
Second Coming: Jesus Christ his only son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead; and buried. The third day he arose from the dead' he ascended into heaven and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead (Apostle's Creed).
Heaven and Hell: And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." Also he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty, I will give from the spring of the water of like without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death" (Revelation 21:5-8).
Satan: Satan is a real being, a fallen angel, the tempter and the accuser. We believe we are to follow the admonition of James: "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7).

"Yo mama is so fat she can't even jump to a conclusion!"
She will die of boredom if she ever watches a DVD of her last concert. What was that?? But seriously, shes over 50 now and in great shape. I don't see her dieing from anything other than old age or some type of accident. I don't see a state funeral, I see a week long Madonna-thon on MTV. Which will be the first time in 10 years that MTV even played a music video, so I can't wait.
Mariah carrie will kill her beause marilyn manroe told her to do it thoug the piano
I Am The New Ride At Disney Land
The caring idol of the masses now wants to inflict this barbaric mutilation on an innocent child that has NO SAY in what she is subjecting him to in the name of religion.
Polite words cannot adequately express my disgust at this womans utter callousness in even contemplating this action.
She is going to far, first just taking the baby and now this. She needs a reality check, as she just seems to be living in the clouds at the moment. I used to like her but this whole adoption thing has turned me very much against her, she has no idea of the Malawian people or their culture and just does as she wants. Bitch.
I am SO sick of hearing about that tired twat.
Can we please put her and Tom Cruise on a rocketship into the sun?
Gentlemen.... Thank you.
She's rich. And a media darling. Doesn't that give her the right to do whatever the hell she wants to do?
"How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?"
"I don't know. But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't they?"
Madonna is really beginning to piss me off big time. Guy Richie needs to grow some balls and stand up to her instead of letting the selfish bitch have her own way all the time.
Circumcision isn't done here in the UK unless the foreskin is too tight. Why does she feel the need to do this.......after all she's said that David id going back to where she stole him from once he hits 18.
I wonder how much she actually cares about this kid and how much he is just a 'accessory' to her?
Don't see what the big deal is really. Let her circumsize the kid, its not like it matters in the long run.
Maybe she should just give him back and let him live in poverty, as a potatoe farmer, and die of aids at 20. Harsh words, but seriously, if anything those people should appreciate the money and attention they are recieving off this alone.
dont hate.!
Oh please the woman thinks she can do anything she wants because of who she is. When she first got the kid she said she wasn't going to change him or anything, seems she has a short memory.
If she wanted to help those people she should have given some of her vast fortune to help more people rather than take a kid from his home to use as some sort of trophy!!! I would have had more respect for her doing that rather than put this kid through the 'Madonna Circus' which he finds himself in.
I agree with Ehalahpl. In America the majority of us are circumcised and it's done for hygiene more than anything else. She's American, so it makes common sense to do it. I'm sure Rocco is, too, but no one made a big deal about it. Besides, the father has to get used to the fact that once you allow your child to become adopted you have no say so in how said child is to be brought up. Just be thankful David will be alive for more than a couple of years.
All I am saying is this, from the perspective of being a parent. Would you rather:
1. Have your child grow up with the best education, a carefree life, in a safe environment all at the cost of snipping some skin off his penis or:
2. Have him raise up a new crop of potatoes with you, fight all the perils of Africa, and be largely just another statistic.
It is as if his REAL parents are actually the ones being irresponsible to me.
She CANT do whatever she wants, but the fact that people would bash her for imposing her religion on a young child is rediculous, thats is pretty much how its always been.
"Ill simply assert that I believe most gay men possess three genes that arent shared by a large portion of the population. Those genes are Quality, Taste, and Style." - Tim Gunn
Is this really about circumcision or about Madonna?
David Ritchie isn't going to be raised Malawian, but British. After his biological mother died, his biological father -- who was obviously widowed -- gladly sent him away for the boy to escape poverty and all the pains that follow it.
At age 18, David will be able to vote as British, serve in the British Royal military, travel with a UK passport, and do all the things that a normal British citizen can.
That's what adoption means --- beoming part of another family, and their culture by extension.
My cousin and her husband adopted an orphan girl from Russia, but no-one expects them to force her into mink boots and quiz her on the Romanov dynasty while she slams vodka.
Let me see if I got this right:
Madonna is evil because:
She wants to have her adopted child circumsised
She adopted a child from Malawi
Have any of you actually been to Africa? I'm not talking about the southern tip, the islands off Africa or the pyramids. I mean places like Malawi, which have problems with widespread starvation, disease, HIV and high infant mortality. I very much doubt you have. Maybe Madonna could have just thrown some money at Malawi, smiled pretty for the cameras, got back on her jet and left. Instead, she adopted a child and thus brought far more attention to this crisis that had ever been paid to it before. She is also enriching the life of one person, who will hopefully, serve as an example of what the children in Malawi can become if the international community got off it's collective ass and did something concrete for the people other than sending their government money.
As for the removal of the child's foreskin: get over it! I know many of you have strong feelings about this, but calling it "barbaric mutilation" is a bit much in my opinion. She is doing this for her own reasons, be they hygenic or religious. I don't think circumcision is a good thing, but as far a I can tell, nobody has asked me for my opinion on what Madonna should do with her child.
I think "barbaric mutilation" might be what happened to the men and women in Congo who had their arms, legs, feet, ears and eyelids cut off, tounges cut out, fingers snapped off, etc. during the Congo Wars. Or maybe "barbaric mutiliation" describes the damage the US inflicted on people we partially burned alive with Napalm.
Porn for Patric: is my blog about porn sites and porn stars, guys I find hot and some of my photography
This thread reminds me so much of the one about the recent havoc wreaked on that dancing penguin...
OH my God.
I am SOOOOOO Fucking tired of hearing about Mandonna.
She wants to circumcise HER kid.
What exactly is so barbaric about that?
I can see if she wanted to get "Madonna's Kid" branded on his forehead or something. But circumcision? Let's be real. It's 2006. He isn't the first.
Great question
I'm not a huge fan of Madonna as a performer, but I admire her as a business woman.
I also have great respect for her as a mother.
As much as she likes to stire the media into frenzy, you'll never see her let them exploit her children, and you'd only see them wearing outrageous outfits on Hallowe'en, if they so choose to wear them and be photographed.
A good point well made. I have a good freind from Rawanda, and he told me about part of his puberty initiation rite which occurred when he was 12 years old:
He and a group of other 12 year old boys who were also being 'initiated' were marched down to the riverside stark naked. It was at the crack of dawn, and the riverside was chosen because it was cold and would make their penis shrivell.
Then the leader of the community stood them over a tree stump, yanked their foreskin forward and 'slash' down came the chopper - the boy's were now 'men'.
Circumcision is a rite belonging to made cultures world-wide ancient and modern, not just the Jews or indeed the "Kabbalah cult".
So back to Belamy's question: Is this about Madonna or about Circumcision?
I will say this...
ciscumcision is a barbaric practice done by parents who think of their children as property and not people.
I have never forgiven my parents for doing it to me, and I never will.
If you're that hell bent on ciscumcision, you should get it done as an adult and not take that decision away from a baby who has no say in the matter.
That being said.. Madonna isn't even fucking Jewish.. she's some Kabala poseur who's publicity stunts have included pretending to be a lesbian, walking around naked in public, wearing underwear in public, making "controvescial videos" for sub-par songs in an effort to have another hit, dating Michael Jackson, pretending she can act, shaing off her eye brows, making a coffee table book that featured close-up photos of her vagina, having her first daughter and parading around the latino man she chose as the donor at a press conference, being a bitch to David Letterman and Arsenio Hall on their shows and countless other stupid things which are just too ridiculous to mention.
She's a genius, that's for sure... she's made being famous possible for LOTS of people who can't sing, can't act, can't dance and can't write songs.
She'll be Catholic again in a year or two, and she'll still have circumcized her son... which let's face it.. is just YET ANOTHER fucking publicity stunt.
Gentlemen.... Thank you.
Belamy, Nonimus.
It's about both.
Madonna the creature who would inflict her religious doctrine upon a child, her using the child as an accessory, and her complete and utter reversion to the dark ages in circumcising the boy.
EDIT: Perfectly said, Soilwork.
Fair enough, that's your opinion, although the use of the 'Dark Ages' is questionable to say the least, I take it you're using it as a metaphor. I'm sure there's more to life than having a piece of skin on the end of your penis. Mine was removed as an infant and I have no bitterness or resentment - It has never been an issue or a problem.
This is more of a circumcision thread, obviously.
I feel that circumcision is wrong. The reasons for doing it are hardly worth the rediculousness of the proceedure and the high rates of messing the operation up. the rate of a penis being messed up is 2 in 100. That's two boys with penises damaged or even worse,d estroyed, by botched circumcisions.
Statistically, any 'protection' and 'hygiene' offered by circumcision is pathetically minimal. Even studies regarding increased protection from STD's are conflicted, one group achieving great results, another reaching no difference in protection.
Is it worth that?
Up until recently (and we're talking really recently) circumcisions were performed without any form of anesthetic because doctors had some kind of perverse notion that babies couldn't feel pain, or even if they could, they wouldn't remember it, so babies were held down and skinned.
As for brises (sp?), I doubt dropping some wine in a kid's mouth is really going to make things that much better.
And besides medically, circumcision is a decision that only the person with the foreskin should make. Doing anything else, out of pure aesthetic or fluidity of religion or cultural tradition is a violation of personal body. Madonna, of all people, should understand how religious and cultural beliefs can change.
And this doesn't just apply to her, but all people who understand personal choice in all things moral, religious, and based in the body.
So yes, I think it's just as 'barbaric' and outdated a mutilation when made without consent when the person is unable to consent as female circumcision. Just because it's a cultural or religious tradition doesn't make it right.
So first she adopts a son (for publicity purposes). And now she's mutilating him (for publicity purposes) in the name of a religion with which she associates herself (for publicity purposes). Yay for attention whores!
On the other hand, your parents do get to decide a lot in your early years about your future...and there are I guess some hygienic reasons for circumcision. Children may not be property, but parents quite well deserve some influence over their children. My parents didn't do it because it was also unheard of in their culture, though I ended up needing it for medical reasons. Why this is a religious thing, I'm not sure. My circumcision was not my choice, but it was far from barbaric. Now, if they purposely tried to prolong my pain...
What I am also concerned about is that just when the practice is in decline this 'celebrity' goes and publicly contemplates it. I sincerely hope that her followers don't blindly follow her and make it fashionable again, for however short a period.
I asked my parents why they did it, and they didn't know.
"We didn't really give it any thought.. they just said 'we'll circumcize them tomorrow' at the hospital and we just had it done..."
they didn't do it for any reason other than... they just let it happen.
(and that hygenic reason is a lie... there's no truth to it at all. You may as well cut off my ears because you're too lazy to teach me to clean behind them)
Gentlemen.... Thank you.
Parents have their kids circumcised every day.
Why does Madonna get a huge debate about it?
what will be the next controversy?...... Madonna takes adopted baby to doctor to get needles filled with vaccines against diseases jabbed in its body
If I had a child I wouldn't have it circumcized but a baby getting circumcized is hardly scandal worthy.
and it hurts with every heartbeat......
Well, protecting your child against potentially fatal diseases is a bit different than mutilating its genitalia for absolutely no reason.
And I think people find it scandal-worthy because she's doing it in the name of a religion that she only "practices" in order to attract attention to herself. Plus the fact that she said her son is too young to be associated with any belief system.
I wasn't aware that Madonna had made such a statement, and if such is true then that makes her stance hypocritcal. From the same source as jlukes19 refers:
"Malawi is a country ravaged by poverty, hunger, and disease. Here, more than half the population lives on less than 50 cents a day and with one of the highest rates of HIV infection in the world life, expectancy is 41 years."
To take a child from that kind of background and introduce it to a land where opportunity flourishes is good thing. I'm no Madonna fan at all, in fact - I've never bought ONE of her singles, but she has to be applauded for making a difference in one person's life.
On the topic of circumsicion: Statements such as 'barbaric' and 'dark ages' are pathetic and emotive if there's nothing more to your life than a piece of skin on the end of your dick - i pity you. There are people out there who treat their kids like shit, ignore them, abuse them put them down at every chance and even reject them for trivial matters such as not doing well in school to being gay. All parents fuck up at some point or another, this kid got a lucky break - let's just hope he realizes what benefits have been placed before him.
And by giving some money to the people that live in the same village as the child to get a new water system or drugs to help diseases, something like that she could have made a difference to more than just one life. If she'd done that she'd be getting a lot more respect instead of using her celebrity status to rush an adoption through. She's only doing it to keep up with the Pitts!
But it's unnecessary. It was original done to stop kids wanking as it's a sin (although that could be an urban myth, lol).......and let's see did it really work? Cleanliness? Bollocks I've never had any problem with that issue. Wash properly when you have a shower or a bath and that will solve that issue. Also the theory that it stops HIV infection is still under heavy debate and isn't proven........then again sticking a condom on will also reduce the risk of HIV spreading and is a lot less drastic than loping off the foreskin of every single male!On the topic of circumsicion: Statements such as 'barbaric' and 'dark ages' are pathetic and emotive if there's nothing more to your life than a piece of skin on the end of your dick - i pity you. There are people out there who treat their kids like shit, ignore them, abuse them put them down at every chance and even reject them for trivial matters such as not doing well in school to being gay. All parents fuck up at some point or another, this kid got a lucky break - let's just hope he realizes what benefits have been placed before him.
You know this happens everytime the cut v uncut debate comes up. I don't give a shit if a cock is cut or uncut. The person it's attached to is more important than his cock. There's no point having an incredible dick is the guy is a cunt!
I do think that it should be the person's choice and not the parents, the doctors or religions. Personally I'm pleased I still have mine.
And yeah Nomi there are people who treat their kids like shit but circumcision is an emotive issue for some people........whenever these threads come up we get the same arguments from both sides which proves it!! And I think this thread is more about people thinking Madonna is a bitch then the issue of circumcision.
Several points Paul:
1) There's no point having an incredible dick is the guy is a cunt! - Good point for both sides
2) whenever these threads come up we get the same arguments from both sides which proves it!! - Which is why i cringed once i had pressed the 'enter' button
3) And I think this thread is more about people thinking Madonna is a bitch then the issue of circumcision - true people will make judgements according to their own personal prejudice rather than the facts each time - like gay adoption
4)And yeah Nomi there are people who treat their kids like shit but circumcision is an emotive issue for some people - It's NONI not Nomi!!!
You should be!
But since you've obviously been upgraded with Windows XP - I'll forgive you.
Not yet, and I sincerely hope it isn't, as the father has re-married and I would hope he and his new (pregnant) wife would want him back.
(And why can't I just write 'link' instead of it pasting the whole addy?)
I just have to say...none of us that are circumcised (American, Jewish, etc.) can actually remember the pain we went through. Now for adult males...the pain is excrutiating, but if they don't like their foreshin and want to remove it then cool. Reconstructive surgery to add foreskin is also available to circumcised males, so those guys that were robbed of the decision to keep their foreskin can go and buy a new one. But this idea that grown men are resenting their parents' decision to keep or remove a piece of skin is ridiculous. (i.e. I was fed meat/dairy and clothed in wool/leather by my folks until I moved out to attend college. I'm now a vegetarian. Should I resent my parents for it? No. Should I forgive them? There's nothing to forgive.) Moms and dads usually do what they think is best for their children, no matter how small or big an issue, and that includes celebrity parents. Let it go. I'm sure David will be ever so thankful that Madonna and Guy saved him from the bleakest poverty and unselfishly welcomed him into one of the most privileged families in the world.
p.s. Guys, Madonna has never claimed to have left the Catholic religion nor has she claimed to be Jewish.
Eromenos. I resent my parents for letting me be circumsized without my consent.
it's my body... and they didn't even question why part of it was being cut off.
they just let it happen without even a thought.
and it's my right to be pissed.
Oh, and Madonna now claims to be Jewish... much like she claimed to be a lesbian in the early 90s.
next she'll be an alien, I'm guessing.
Gentlemen.... Thank you.
How the fuck can she be talking about circumcised the kid if she hasn't legally adopted him yet?
Think about this Eromenos. They took a piece of your penis off. They went in and just lopped it off. Your penis of all fucking things! And you know that most sensitive part just under the head? Well they took a bunch of that away as well. Its called the frenulum and we no longer even have one.
And to boot, without a foreskin the head of our penis has dried up and lost its sensitivity. Why would you do that to a kid? Its totally fucked up and insane.
And the reason? For cleanliness. Well then pull all of my fingernails off so I can't get dirt under them either. Yea its an emotional issue when you cut a piece of my body off.

Italian design firm Zagato fully unveiled its prized Alfa Romeo TZ3 at this past weekend's Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance in Italy. We were first teased on the concept a few weeks ago.
Like the original Alfa Romeo TZs of yore, the modern-day TZ3 Corsa is built to hit apexes with vigor. Molded from a carbon-fiber chassis, tubular frame, and lightweight aluminum body, the TZ3 weighs in at 1900 pounds. Traditional Alfa styling cues, including the low-slung nose and cutoff tail, mimic the venerable TZ1 and TZ2 racecars. And like the original racers, Zagato designed the TZ3 Corsa as an actual race vehicle, giving it Ohlins suspension, a 6-speed sequential transmission, and a 4.2-liter, dry-sump, 414-horsepower V-8. These features help propel the retro-cool coupe from 0 to 62 mph in under 3.5 seconds and attain a top speed over 186 mph.
<;p class="MsoNoSpacing" target="_blank">Commissioned by German Alfa Romeo collector Martin Kapp, the TZ3 Corsa was designed to honor Alfa's 100th birthday and motorsport heritage. If you have a special appreciation for all things Alfa, be sure to check out the photos.

Contrast Overlay Sleeveless Dress
Style # 199613
From workweek to weekend, this lovely bebe dress features sheer detail at top, asymmetric peplum flare at waist and body-defining cut. Hidden zipper. Elevate with a pair of bold-hued heels for a luxe contrast.
- 87% nylon, 13% spandex.
- Center back to hem: 33" (84 cm).
- Dry clean only.
- Imported.
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S.
Contrast Overlay Sleeveless Dress
Runs small on the chest, you'll have to size up and get the bottom altered!
To start off this is a super classy dress. It is special and uncommon. However the sizing is very off. If your chest is on the bigger side you'll probably have to go two sizes up. The chest is very constricting due to the boning on the bodice while the bottom is too stretchy. When you size up the peplum on the bottom won't look right because it won't hug your curves and would just look weird unless you get it altered to be tighter and shorter. I love it but I had to send it back twice in two different sizes. Wish bebe would fix it and carry it again in the exact same color. My heart is broken it doesn't fit as it :(

Engagement Party
I am a total Bebe girl in that i love the bebe style of dress. However, among family and friends I can't exactly rock a mini gold dress during my engagement party! I chose this dress, a mixture of sexy and classy. Sexy in that it hugs the curves and looks good on the booty, classy in that it is pretty conservative compared to other bebe dresses. I would recommend AGAINST ordering online becuase the sizing is a bit weird. I had a hard time zipping up my medium (and i usually order an xs or small in bebe dresses).
October 22, 2012
This dress is perfect. Ordered it from a store in Austin since they didn't have a medium online. I was skeptical about the look since I am a size 8, wearing white, but the dress proved me wrong!! Not sending it back, cannot wait to wear it!!!
October 14, 2012
Super Flattering!!!
This picture does not do this dress justice! I just tried this dress on by recommendation from the sales associate at bebe. He was able to look at me and get the right size and dress to fit my body type. I will be wearing this dress to my wedding shower it is absolutely perfect. Sexy yet sophisticated! I am so excited for my shower now!
October 13, 2012
Great dress!
I got this to wear to my brother's wedding shower and love it! I got an extra small but the bust didn't fit so I go the next size up. Really flattering!
