There has been a lot of Twitter chatter about the possible affiliation between Major League Soccer and the unofficially D3 United Soccer League Professional Division, and now it seems were within 48 hours of a possible announcement on the matter. Canadian Soccer News reports some of the details:
Yesterday, Rochester's WHEC reported that the Rhinos would be affiliated with a MLS team starting this year. It also came out that full details of the plan would be released within 36-hours.
The report suggested that there would be four USL-Pro teams taking part in the partnership in 2013.
The information is in line with what the respected IMSoccerNews reported last week.
In a series of Tweets, IMSsoccer revealed that 2013 would be "transition year." MLS teams would have an option to play MLS reserve league games, or join USL-Pro.
It was expected that most MLS teams would be participating in USL-Pro fully by 2014.
Essentially MLS clubs could either partner with a nearby USL Pro club, or incorporate their own reserve/academy side into the league.
Before we get anymore details, it's prudent to look at the long view in terms of football development. While only those near the Ted Westervelt end of the Europhile spectrum would advocate for a promotion/relegation tiered system, many have long wondered if MLS could go beyond merely running its own closed shop reserve but attempt a partnership with an existing professional tier.
While it's not quite same as the Spanish model in which La Liga academy sides play in the professional second division, it does at least bring two distinct levels of US soccer under the same operational umbrella, both sanctioned by the USSF.
There are many unanswered questions though. What—if anything—does this portend for NASL's future? Will it simply carry forward as a de facto D2? And what does this mean for Canadian clubs, and the future of Canadian player development (particularly in light of the recommendations of a study yet-to-be-released and minorly co-authored by yours truly)?
We don't know, but it looks like we're finally getting the faint outline of a real professional football pyramid, hopefully less prone to the chaotic fluctuation of lower league American pro-soccer.
UPDATE: It's official now. Expect a sermon tomorrow…

The Blue Wave 24 Pure Bay meets the needs of inshore and offshore anglers alike.
Performance meets style is the best way to describe the Blue Wave 2400 Pure Bay. Computer engineering combined with over 40 years of boat building experience has produced a bay boat that meets the needs of the most demanding angler and looks good doing it.

The Pure Bays fully molded inner liner has all of the fishing features you would expect to find in a tournament winning bay boat like built in rod storage under the front casting deck and under the gunnels. Two livewells, fish boxes and lots of dry storage compartments. The bow deck has a flat area specifically made to accept a trolling motor and is pre-wired. They also haven't forgotten the family by adding a pair of unique high back Cyclone seats at the helm with additional stern seating across the rear casting deck.
Other standard features include a high tech center console design with plenty of room for your flush mounted electronics, a built in cooler, vertical rod holders, tackle storage and much more. Their innovative stern livewell has a 3-inch drain, Pro Air plus Recirc Pump.
Florida Sportsman Boating Editor, Dave East, took time away from the filming of the new Florida Sportsman Best Boat series to meet with Tim Long, factory rep for Blue Wave, to get a closer look at the 2400 Pure Bay. "The fit and finish of this boat is the finest I've seen in the industry and the ride is nothing short of amazing," remarked East.

Read what the world renowned 'Beach Hunter' had to say about our beach:
Best Family Beach - Anna Maria Island Beaches
Truthfully, there are many great family beaches on the Florida Gulf Coast.
I choose Manatee County Public Beach as the best because it is on the most family friendly island AND is a great family beach. I should know, I grew up on this beach. This beach and the island it's on are still family oriented. The beach is located west of the City of Bradenton, at the western end of Manatee Avenue (Highway 64). The sand is beautiful and white, the water is calm, clean, and shallow enough to be kid-friendly. The beach is protected by lifeguards and there are restroom facilities, outdoor showers, a gift shop, a pier to walk on or to fish from, a picnic area, and of course there is the Cafe On The Beach when you get hungry.
Anna Maria is a residential community that caters to a wide range of visitors from all over the world. It is a quiet island without high-rises, big hotels, or nightlife. The focus is on relaxing and enjoying the beach and the community. There are plenty of restaurants, from seafood to Italian and Indian cuisine and everything in-between. From Manatee Public Beach you can walk all the way to the north tip of the island if you care to (many do) in about 2 hours. If you need some adventure, go para-sailing, take a charter fishing trip or a tour boat to Egmont Key. People who vacation on Anna Maria Island keep coming back year after year.
Another great thing about Anna Maria is the beautiful water. Anna Maria has some of the clearest water you will find anywhere.

From ramp model to Bollywood actress, WIFW showstopper and finally to front row celebrity, Lisa Haydon's fashion journey has been a rather quick one. And now the model is ready to take another step forward.
She's become a designer in association with the Delhi-based team of Sher Singh, and will soon be launching her line on an online portal.Lisa was at WIFW to attend friend Anuj Chowdhry's wife Kanika Saluja Chowdhry's show, and left for Mumbai the same evening. However, at the show, as she garnered compliments for her own style, Lisa revealed, "The top that I'm wearing is my own creation. It's a Lisa Sher Singh design. It's inspired by my person style and that's how I've put it together. We'll be launching the collection in April or May, and there will also be a launch party soon, which may take place in Delhi or Mumbai." Lisa also confessed to coming to Delhi quite often now since Sher Singh is based in Delhi, and says, "This has kept me very busy over the past couple of months, and I've only done a guest appearance in a south Indian film lately. Now, I'm focusing on Bollywood again now that this project has taken off."

How to sleep like a log

Best positions for shut-eye
BRITAIN is a nation of insomniacs – ten million prescriptions for sleeping pills were handed out in England alone last year.
One in four of us are unhappy with the amount of sleep we get and one in ten have a sleep disorder. In The Lancet, scientists said drugs are not the answer as they can cause more problems than they solve.

text: I have been reading some negative reviews of this year's Food and Wine Festival..and I had a thought. What if Disney got together with the Food Network to do F&W? They have a lot of great chefs and could do cool special events. I'd love to see a Throw Down with Bobby Flay...they could do ones with Disney Chefs and maybe even local people.

It was supposed to be Fight Night. It was supposed to be a dukes-out, all-out, no-punches-pulled Epic Battle in which the five GOP candidates still in the ring would fight to the (political) death, the theme song from Rocky, perhaps, booming in the background. It was supposed to be "scrappy," wrote the Huffington Post—"perhaps the scrappiest yet for the GOP nomination." There were supposed to be, as The Swamp's Jason George had it, "jabs and sparks."
Instead, last night's much-anticipated Republican Smackdown, coming on the heels of Tuesday's much-derided Donkey Kong debate, was "the tamest GOP affair in weeks," according to NBC News's Domenico Montenaro. It was "so uneventful," in fact, Josh Marshall lamented, "We decided to let our producer/editor go home early and not even do a highlight reel because there wasn't much to highlight." In other words, The New York Times acknowledged, it was "not exactly the kind of knock-down, drag-out fight that has characterized past Republican debates."
Which is putting it, actually, mildly. Last night's debate participants turned the hyped heavyweight match into little more than a slapping contest. "They chose to sort of step back, not engage with each other too much," NBC News's Chuck Todd announced in MSNBC's post-debate wrap-up. "These guys took the high road on each other." Mike Huckabee, appearing on MSNBC this morning, agreed. "We didn't get distracted with a lot of sharp-elbow punching last night," he said.
No, they didn't; to the contrary, "careful not to appear overly negative," as the Politico had it, they seemed to make a concerted effort to be courteous. Giuliani declared at one point that "Senator McCain is right" in calling for less government spending. Perhaps he was paying it forward: "When Mitt Romney asked me a question, notice he asked me a very nice question," Giuliani said. And when McCain jumped in to defend—yes, defend—Giuliani, calling the former mayor "an American hero"
well, the debate jumped from slightly bizarre to fully Bizarro.
It was, more than anything, a sly move on the Republicans' part to make nice and distinguish themselves from the bickering Democrats—not to mention a way to earn individual brownie points for their Good-Humored Geniality. (See Giuliani subtly-but-visibly wincing as he watched McCain score such points by defending him.) But the forced friendliness was also oddly indicative of a debate that, as previous rounds have not, blurred the bounds of political opposition: rather than Candidate versus Candidate, last night's battle lines were drawn between Candidate and Moderator. McCain's pseudo-chivalrous "American hero" comment was made to defend his rival not from another candidate, but from debate moderator Brian Williams. And, specifically, from Williams's live-TV repetition of The New York Times's characterization of Giuliani, as it endorsed McCain yesterday evening, as "a narrow, obsessively secretive, vindictive man who saw no need to limit police power" and whose "arrogance and bad judgment are breathtaking."
"How can you defend against that in your hometown paper? How have you changed as a man since this portrait?" Williams asked the former mayor.
"Obsessively secretive" "vindictive" "arrogance and bad judgment"—fighting words, to be sure. And Giuliani seemed to struggle, at moments, to maintain his composure in deflecting them. Because if the candidates last night were doing their damnedest to remain "civil" and "cordial," Tim Russert and Williams, Russert's silky-voiced Sancho, were doing their damnedest to fulfill their network's promises of Fight Night. To wit, here's a sampling of some other Russert and Williams asked of the candidates:
Russert: Governor Huckabee, are you comfortable with the fact that Governor Romney raised fees a quarter of a million dollars as governor of Massachusetts? Do you trust him as a tax cutter?
Russert: Governor Romney, you've criticized Senator McCain for opposing the first two Bush tax cuts. You've criticized Mayor Giuliani for going to court to try to retain a commuter tax on people coming to the city of New York. Do you trust Senator McCain and Mayor Giuliani on the issue of being tax cutters?
Williams: Governor Romney, since we've been on the air tonight, one of the other campaigns has faxed us with a charge about you that you've heard before, that Governor Romney, quote, "changes positions with the wind." One of your own advisers admits the perception among all of the candidates on stage is that you have changed over time your positions, that you haven't paid your dues. The New York Times yesterday called you the most disliked of the five. Your defense in all that?

Did you know that "To Learn Something New" is one of the top 10 New Year´s Resolutions every year? Apparently education is one of the easiest and most motivating New Year´s resolutions to keep.
Perhaps "To Learn Spanish" is one of YOUR resolutions this year. It couldn´t be easier to make that first step. Visit our website www.espaname.es and find out more about our courses in Valladolid and Santander. Just contact us through the website and we´ll send you our latest course brochure, course dates and fees.
Make 2010 the year you made a commitment to learning Spanish in Spain. Courses are available all year round.
A Christmas Greeting from the Plaza Mayor, Valladolid.
Staff and students at International House Valladolid only have to look out of their classroom window to enjoy the Christmas decorations and festivities in the Plaza Mayor.
This year we have "El árbol de los deseos" (used by the children to send their messages to Santa Claus), the carousel which dates from 1900, "El pueblo navideño" with its miniature train and the stalls selling local seasonal food and drink. By nightfall the square is transformed with festive lighting.
Season's Greetings from all at International House Valladolid and Santander.
This week I´ve been looking at the reasons students give for taking our Spanish courses.
The main motivator for learning Spanish seems to be "for pleasure". Students just simply love the Spanish language and culture. In second place comes "for work", either back in the student´s home country or due to a relocation to Spain. In joint third comes "for tourism" and "for study".
The reason I like best is "for love". We get students from all over the world who have met and fallen in love with Spaniards. They take our classes because they want to be able to understand and communicate with their new partner´s family and friends and be better able to appreciate the country from which their loved one comes. A reason straight from the heart! They say 70% of communication is non-verbal. At least we can help with the other 30% for which you may need a little grammar and vocabulary!
If you would like to speak the language of love in Spanish or just improve your level, International House Valladolid offers general intensive Spanish courses all year round. For more information contact us at www.espaname.es.

Looking very green! I don't have a valley per se, but several large flowerbeds and a deck with beautiful California succulents that I had allowed three feet of weeds to overtake. My yard was so overgrown that weeds had covered a table and four chairs! Downright shameful of me, I know. My house was the Grey Gardens of my street, perched on my little hill above the neighborhood. I don't think hands had touched my yard in a year.
Every day I would walk by my flowerbeds and think, 'I gotta call that gardener.' Finally, one Saturday it hit me: Why was I always saying I was going to call a gardener? I live in Southern California for f***sake. It's beautiful outside, why not do it myself? How bad could a little dirt on the knees be?
So Easter weekend I put on my Wellies and got to weeding. The following weekend I weeded and planted. Next? I'm planning to plant more blooms and trim the trees. The last two weekends I've been downright giddy about my new addiction to my garden! My goal is to have my small yard feel more like how I envision the garden must have looked in the book The Secret Garden, a bit of magical color and wildness.
Pulling weeds and digging holes is not only deeply satisfying, but I actually experience serenity. I know that sounds corny and hey, a yard isn't exactly "nature." But digging in the dirt, fighting the bugs, and breathing in that wonderful smell of water hitting my plants on a hot day is… tranquil. I find my peace of mind knee deep in flowerbeds. But don't worry, I won't be donning an"Edie" scarf and dancing in the garden anytime soon!
Don't be intimidated by your garden! Get out there in your boots and gloves and start playing in the dirt! National Gardening Association is a fun place to start your research.

Alright. This is going to sound majorly dumb... But I am so confused, and I need answers.
There is this boy. He shall remain nameless through this whole thing. ;)
He has been my friend ever since he and I join BoyScouts. We have always been back-to-back partners, always doing the right things, always the highest up teachers (as far as kids go) to teach the younger ones. We have always tented together.... and then there was this one night.
As I sit here, sipping on my Sleepy Time Tea (don't hate.. it's yummy and I don't need sugar for it. =] ), my mind is a rush of things that have happened to me in a few short hours...
So, to cut to the relevant part of the conversation, it turns out B has a boyfriend.
Proceeding with caution was a good idea... just as happy to have found out she wasn't a gf prospect BEFORE I said anything to her about crushing on her.
Right now i am pretty young, still a high school student. Just this school year I had told some of my friends that I was gay. The first was a friend who I considered a sister. We were pretty close since we lived next to each other for three years and knew almost everything about each other.
Here are some songs that I had rewritten the words to to explain and share with everyone about my love for Heath Ledger. If you don't know the song I based a song on, look it up on line to hear the song. Here they are:
The First Time Ever I Saw Heath's Face
(To the tune of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack)
Verse 1:
The first time ever I saw Heath's face,
So here continues the next chapter in liking C...
She likes me. But it's not as simple as the sentence it's stated in.
This is never-ending.
I wrote a while back that my crush for C was done for, but turns out maybe not so much. This is such a messy situation to me, just because I'm pondering my "motives" [so to speak] for liking C; is it just that I'm lonely, is it purely just honest feelings, is she as good as it gets for now? What? Why?
"Whatever it is, bottle it up and sell it to me.... I need a new drug that does what it should" God, I love Emily Haines.
Before I switched to this song [which happens to be my myspace song, hah] I was listening to "Gin Divides Us" by Sybris. [If you've ever heard of that band, high-five]. Sybris is seriously amazing; they have a great sound. I really should look into getting their album.
I basically told C I liked her last night. Here's how it happened:
Saturday I saw the movie "The Invisible" with Y, C, and Y's boyfriend we'll call P. I disobeyed the law and drove C to the theater so her parents didn't have to do it. Y and P are super anal and drive in their own seperate cars, hah "Ok honey let's go on a date!" "Ok, I'll meet ya there!"
Well, I finally worked up the guts to slick my bangs back with hair gel at school. Way, butch-ness! :D All of my guy friends thought my hair was weird, and my friend Hannah told me that I looked kind of like a Vulcan from Star Trek. Huh?
I'm trying to get over my straight crush, and IT. IS. EFFING. HARD. I've had this gigantic crush on her for years now, ever since fifth grade. I've always had this tiny hope in the back of my mind that she might secretly be gay/bi and not realized it yet, but that small hope has been squashed by the terrible hammer of reality. (Yes, I'm going to stop using weird metaphors now.
When I carpooled home from school with my straight ex-crush today, I couldn't stop staring at her. Argh, I hate her so much! Why did she have to look so good?
For the 23837 time this spring break, I stayed the night at C's beach house.
Any feelings for C are merely weeds. A pure nuisance.
She is straight. Period, no questioning, no nothing. Straight.
Last night, I got home and just felt immensely disappointed.
It was realization that I was behind the line that she was chalking up that said "I AM STRAIGHT, WE ARE JUST FRIENDS."
[Straight crush...I'll go get the kleenex... ='( ]
The way the sun braids galaxies in your hair,
And how your soft construction glows in turn;
The sheepish smiles that float across your face,
Then sing inside your supernova eyes;
The bright impossible burning in your core,
And the possibles that trail your every move—
Your story book reality writes my life.
it is silly of me to write about this but i have a crush on my friend--oh, let's call her Sally, because that's her name. no it isn't. well, she works with me, and we have become pretty good friends. it seemed like we got along right from the beginning. she has a kid, a preadolescent. i don't know why i'm being obscure about the details, it isn't like she'd ever read this. you know why? because she's straight. i mean, she was married to her second husband for 9 years, that's how straight she is. she has said that she has never liked a girl like that, to me.

In the week leading up to tonight's premiere of the HBO original movie Phil Spector, the pre-release publicity has all been orchestrated around quotes from the film's writer-director, David Mamet, claiming that the movie is not a docudrama, that it parts ways with reality — and, in Mamet's own words, that it is "not about Phil Spector." The film opens with a title that claims: This is a work of fiction. It's not "based on a true story." Got it? What we're about to watch is so made up that it's not even related to reality. (You've got to love those sarcastic quote marks. Very David Mamet dyspeptic.)
Though it seems likely that Mamet, with the presumed endorsement of HBO, was basically launching a pre-emptive strike at everyone from libel lawyers to critics of the movie who might be tempted to pounce on it for being inaccurate, I have to say that the effect of all this "It's not about Phil Spector!" squawking was to dampen my original enthusiasm for seeing the film. I began to worry that Mamet would take the fascinating tale of Spector and his 2007 trial for the murder of Lana Clarkson, the troubled starlet who died of a gunshot wound to the mouth in Spector's house on Feb. 3, 2003, and twist it into some heavily stylized, dead-zone Mamet rant-meditation on men, women, celebrity, media, and other Boring Important Topics.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sam-Adoption Pending!
Facts about Sam-Adoption Pending
- Breed: English Bulldog
- Color: White - With Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Senior
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Sam-Adoption Pending's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Reason given up for adoption:
Health Condition:
Placement Limitations:
Greater San Diego County ONLY
Special Needs:
Contact Information:
My name is Sam, but my foster mom calls me "Bear!" She says when I perk my ears up I look like a furry teddy bear. I used to live outside day and night and I was sad and lonely. Not anymore! Now I live inside like I deserve and I get lots of love and attention. Since I was neglected for so long, I have limited vision in one eye and very limited hearing. In fact, I may be completely deaf....but that sure doesn't stop me from cuddling and loving you. My skin was in very bad shape with demodectic mange and staph infections, but that is all gone now. You will need to give me eye drops every single day for the rest of my life please.
I'm really mellow and I get along with my foster brothers and sisters. If they are moving around a lot causing a ruckus I get cranky and bark at them. I don't know about these things called cats, so best for me not to have to deal with them. I do love to go out and sit in the sun for a while, but my favorite thing to do is sleep!
When I'm not sleeping I want to hang out with you and maybe even play a little bit. I really like to play with bowls...I turn them upside down or carry them around in my mouth. I am too cute! I am a good boy; I don't jump up or knock people over like some of those crazy youngsters do. As long as I can go in and out, I am very reliably house trained. I would love a cozy home and to be your best friend for the rest of my life. I have lots of love to give you. Hope to meet you soon!
Love, Sam/Bear
Please have an application submitted at www.rescuebulldogs.org BEFORE inquiring about Sam. He will be placed in the
Greater San Diego area ONLY.
Other Pets at San Diego Bulldog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sam-Adoption Pending, a San Diego English Bulldog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a English Bulldog for sale in San Diego, or seeking a English Bulldog dog from a breeder in San Diego.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Diego already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a San Diego breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even English Bulldog breeders who help with English Bulldog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Diego paves the way for another one to be saved.

A Kung Fu Total Conversion I Am Trying To Sell
Ok, let me start of by saying that even though I came up with this idea I do not want to find, lead, or be any part of this team. I just came up with an idea that I was hoping that someone would feel the need to take up on their own. I have no coding, modeling, texturing, or mapping skills. All that I am trying to do is introduce a mod idea tgo the right team so that one day I can log on and play the game in my head.
I want to see an online kung fu mod that works. I want it to start off having a deathmatch mode, but later on have a team mode added. The team portion should probably play something like RtCW, FLF, Jedi Outcast or Firearms (a combination of them really). One team vs another with respawns every now and then. But that is only the basic setup. I fure that with UT2003s amazing net code, per poly colision detection and physics engines it is just asking for an all out kung fu weapons area brawl. You wouldn't need to program blocks in, just moves. If one move hits a weapon, it is blocked. If it hits the person it is an attack. Depending on the power of the attack, and the weapon, the physics will toss the body in the right direction. You could even include different types of martial arts. You could have kung fu vs karate vs that south american thing where they dance around and stuff... with a large variety of different weapons it could be a really great game. You could also add on a single player portion if you wanted. A quest for revenge or something. That would be for you to figure out. Well, anyway. There is my idea. If anyone has any questions or comments on it please feel free to ask. Even though I don't want to make it myself, I would like to make sure that the right people do work on it, and not some team that wants to make it something with zoo animals or something weird like that. So feel free to ask or suggest anything. really. Lets hear it

I have sort of forgot about this lipstick during the most depressing and grey winter of all times. But this is definately going back on my lips in the near future, wonderful coral color! I didn't think it would work on me since I have a very cool colouring, but it is gorgeous on!

A deep peach lipstick with rust and orange undertones on my pigmented NC30 Asian lips. By itself, it is just as another user perfectly described: a terra cotta burnt orange. Not my color on its own, but it is a great peach base to layer other colors since has enough pigment to blot out my lips natural color. I like to layer Nars' Bolero velvet matte lip pencil on top for a perfect peachy pink color. Formula is a bit drying, but it wears very evenly, which is a plus.

On the Nars website, Casablanca is said to be a classic full bodied coral. I have to say that description is just half true. On my lips, it delivers more as a nice terracotta brick orange that almost has its own character. Definitely a one of its kind shade that I have been enjoying slapping on my lips recently. It is almost opaque in a swipe and stays decently on the lips. A quick dab is all it takes for it to light up my face (so day-appropriate), while piling a few more layers is all I need to achieve that sultry, fierce pack of color (but still not over the top). It also has a nice subtle glossy sheen which makes pairing it with a lip gloss optional.However, Casabalanca is a satin; -which means that it is not the most moisturizing formula in lipstick land (but lasting power is superb!). So I make sure to pop that extra lip balm underneath before swiping this on.

Such a beautiful color. Lights up my pale, yellow-toned complexion. It is a bit drying as other reviewers have pointed out, but I know of no dupes for this color by other brands. In fact this whole color family (terracotta/coral/brick) seems underserved. I want more!

Casablanca is my favorite l/s ever! The pigmentation is just amazing. On my skin (NC40) I love how this doesn't look orange. Lightly applied it looks like a nude-ish color with just a hint of coral.. Pack it on and it works amazing as well. You don't want to wear this shade if you dont want people staring at your lips.. cause this one makes people do that.
As with all things Nars, love the sleek packaging. Dislike how little product your getting. The lipstick's so short! However, I would buy another one in a heartbeat.
Can I be inlove with a lipstick? Cause I think I am with Nars Casablanca.

Age: 44-55 Skin: Normal, Fair, Warm Hair: Brown, Straight, Medium Eyes: Hazel
this is a true coral orange color. It is semi matte which means you must use a balm underneath and on top (unless you use gloss).
I have had this for a few years now and usually dust it off for spring/summer.. but last year I forgot about it! This year with all the emphasis on coral shades, I went into my old stash and dug it up again.. and found an almost perfect corally orange shade.. easily changed to lighter coral with a gloss on top (light pink or gold) or more orangey (I used Estee Lauder bronze goddess in the orange/gold shade gloss).
It really is a great color but as one reviewer did point out, it does smell like crayons! Took a lippie off for that!

On me this is a rich sunbaked terracotta colour. It is definitely not coral! I adore how it feels on my lips, really hydrating and smooth, i am definitely going to try more Nars lipsticks in the Satin texture. This is not for the faint hearted as mentioned in the previous reviews, i wear it only with a neutral eye and neutral cheeks as it doesn't need competition from any other colours.

Am I the only one who complains about the smell? My Casablanca smells strongly like old crayons, I always have to use it in combination with a gloss or another lipstick that covers the odor. As much as I like the beautiful coral color and the texture, but for a high-end brand, I definitely expected a better scent from the product.

I hated this when I first got it, mainly because it is *very* pigmented, especially for the coral color that it is, like all the other reviews explain. I started to like it when I put it on really lightly with my finger and then glazed it over just a tad with a very lightly tinted pink gloss. It certainly brightens up your face, as any lipstick does, but you have to be careful when you're applying it otherwise you'll just have orange lips. I wish NARS has a similar shade with a slightly pinker tone, but they don't. I still don't know how I feel about it, but then again I'm not very big on lipstick.

This was my favorite lip color in the NARS FAME palette, so I finally bought the lipstick. I was blown away by how much more pigmented the lipstick is, compared to the palette color. This is really a beautiful rich creamy coral - unfortunately... it's not the same color as the palette color (extra light, extra coral-ly) and does not work on me. :(

Struggling with God
"God, I can't take it anymore! Why is this happening to me? How can a loving God stand by and do nothing at a time like this?" Have you ever said anything like that to God? Most of us would gasp or cringe at such bold statements. Surely we shouldn't approach God with such blatancy and irreverence. Most certainly, we should never display anger or frustration in His presence.
For some reason, many Christians believe that we must compose ourselves before we speak to God. Any sentiments besides serenity and gratitude are considered inappropriate. We think we should accept every circumstance with calm resignation, because whatever happens must be God's will. To question God, or to express frustration, hurt or anger means that we lack faith.
I'm not sure where we get the idea that God frowns upon honest expressions of thought and feeling, especially the negative ones. The examples we have in the Bible don't support that assumption! Consider these men and some of the things they said to God. Moses: "Kill me and put me out of my misery! I can't take it anymore" (Numbers 11:10-15). Job: "I wish I had never been born" (Job 3:3). "God, I have some arguments to bring before you about why you're allowing me to suffer this way" (Job 23:4). David: "Why aren't you listening to me or answering me?" (Psalm 22.) Abraham: "God, what good are the rewards you're promising me when you haven't given me a son?" (Genesis 15:2-3.) The list goes on.
What was God's response to those outbursts? He struck them all dead for speaking so boldly, right? No! He may have been stern at times, but all of these men were commended for their faith. David was called a man after God's own heart (1 Samuel 13:14). Moses was described as the most humble man on the face of the earth (Numbers 12:3) and a prophet like no other (Deuteronomy 34:10-12). God praised Job for speaking the truth, and Job's wealth and family were restored to him twofold (Job 42:8-16). Abraham was blessed with a son, the beginning of the fulfillment of God's promise that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky (Genesis 21:1-7). Many of them are mentioned in the "Hall of Faith" in Hebrews 11.
These men were not considered humble, faithful servants of God because they put on happy faces and smiled their way through the struggles and turmoil of life. In every circumstance, no matter what they were feeling or thinking, they turned to God. True faith means trusting God enough to be honest with Him. The only way He will be disappointed with us, the only way we can go wrong, is if we turn our backs on Him, hide from Him or think that we can do a better job than He can of handling things.
The Bible says, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). It doesn't say, "Wait until you're happy and have only positive things to say before you approach God." It says that God cares about the struggles and pain we experience and He wants us to cast our hurts and frustrations upon Him. Only then can we begin to experience true healing. "Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need" (Hebrews 4:16).

I'm a Skeptic
Submitted by ancapaaron on Sat, 07/10/2010 - 03:09You'll have to forgive me if this is the wrong choice in forum to post in. I'm still fairly new to the DP. This is a discussion that is fairly important in my eyes though. Conspiracy is a subject that's often brought up on this website, and I would like to discuss it from my perspective in more in depth.
To start off, as the title of this thread suggests, I'm a skeptic. I don't have huge beef with conspiracy theorists, but I typically object to what they're saying until compelled otherwise. I'm kind of curious if there are any other RP supporting skeptics out there and what they think?
When a conspiracy theorist looks at bad things coming from the government, they claim it's all happening on purpose. That someone is behind it all pulling the strings. They have a tendency to ignore the fact that the failure comes from government being incapable in the first place. As a skeptic I'm not afraid of the government coming to "hurt me", I'm afraid of it coming to "help me." The government can't even run a school lunch program, how do you expect it to pull something off that requires precise timing and coordination? It's the biggest blundering most incompetent institution in the history of mankind. Government programs simply just don't work well most of the time.
As a scientist I cling to Occam's Razor. Conspiracy theorists often blast the media, and the mainstream story because they don't take their explanation of events seriously. The media has huge issues, and I'm not denying those. Thing is often times I find the conspiracy theorists explanation of events more complicated than the main explanation and therefore less useful. Typically an astronomical amount of people would have to be in on things
for the event in question to be executed without any whistle blowing. I'm not saying this isn't possible, just not likely.
The next issue is the lack of empirical evidence. This happens to be one of the most challenging things a conspiracy theorist has to present. Often times a conspiracy theorist has to rest his or her case on speculation. Even when that evidence is available the explanation surrounding it can differ from person to person, and then we end up back with the Occam's Razor issue. What is the most probable or likely?
Finally I ask the question, why don't the conspiracy theorists take any action against the so called conspirators? They'll point finger and complain all day long, but rarely do they actually do ANYTHING. Are the conspirators honestly that far out of "reach"? On the same note does adopting the theory actually do anything to counter the "disinformation"? I think the answer is no to both.
I have a feeling I'm probably going to get blasted right off the DP by the vast majority of you who are conspiracy "believers" here, however I am interested to see what people have to say anyway. It won't be the first time I've been blasted on the DP.

interesting observation
I didn't notice this was a 2 year old thread.
But honestly, it is as applicable today as it was then.
Personally, I'm a conspiracy theory junky. I love any and all conspiracy theory, and I believe that most of them are true (or based on truth) even if some of the details are out of sync ... which is to be expected when they are reconstructed with severely limited direct information.
However, I don't generally get involved in the conspiracy theory discussions, and I don't think they are good for the movement. 30 years ago, Dr Paul was very much a part of the JBS, and actively involved in the discussion about the conspiracy of the day. Whether the theories were correct or incorrect, you will notice that he stopped "pushing" them.
Instead, he pushed on fighting the clearly visible problems in our system rather than the hidden ones. I think this is something we as a group should also do. There are plenty of sites out there discussing the conspiracies around us, there are not plenty of sites seeking liberty.
Dr Paul focused is efforts on educating people on what it means to be free again. I personally intend to make that my focus.

Nice fluff
for a skeptic you sure like to use broad sweeping generalizations. You seem to put "conspiracy theorists" squarely in the 911 truth column, but isn't the idea that a man in a cave conceiving a plan using terrorists to hijack airplanes and slam them into buildings a conspiracy in itself? What evidence was presented to you that made you believe with out question that Osama Bin Laden was actually the person responsible for 911?
What is flabbergasting is that seemingly intelligent people like yourself refuse to take notice of ALL the evidence that support a much different version of the events of 911 than the government supported ver. All you need to watch is : 15 minutes to gain some perspective on the truth. If you watch this and still remain a fervent skeptic on 911 then God help you because no amount of logic or reasoning will. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZEvA8BCoBw

You should feel OK being a skeptic.
You should feel OK being a skeptic. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I don't consider myself a conspirator. As an engineer I've grown to know a few things about physics, and based on the evidence that I've seen I know that the official story that we are told by the MSM is not true. And that is all that I know. Now I may speculate as to what might have happen, but those speculations are just that, speculations, and I try to keep them to myself. The only things I convey to other people when asked about this event is to explain to them what I know to be true. They then accuse me of conspiring and I have to set them straight and reiterate the basic facts as I see them and minimize my speculations. Not an easy task but that's all I can do. I respect your skepticism. Sometime I have some skepticism too, but then I remind myself of the facts, and come back to the same conclusion. The official story is simply not true.
It is better to look dumb and not be, than to look smart and not be.

Count me a skeptic as well
yes bad things often come out of our big ol' governement, but not really because of a grand conspiracy. Our governemtnis full of incompetent short sighted people who generally cannot figure out which end of a hammer to use. They are mostly there because they are affable folks that just don't have any other marketable skills to make a living on. This type of personality hates to be wrong, and will twist and spin anything they can to justify their wrong position in order to avoid admitting their own stupidity. Generally the most simple explanation really is true. In the case of 9/11 muslim terrorists probably really did hijack airliners and fly them into buildings which caused amassive fires and structural collapse. The nefarious part is when our own government takes this senseless act and uses it to usurp our constitutional rights (which they are prone to do)as they constantly wish to gain power. BTW I am fully capable of believeing that Mossad knew of the attacks and didn't tell us for their own reasons (i.e. a generally free ride under the eagles wing) which explains their actions of the day; if those reports are to be fully verified that is.

P.S. - My father was in an all black Army Air Corp unit, first the 99th, then later it became the 332nd Air Combat Wing. My oldest brother was killed in Vietnam in 1969 and was an Military Police Officer. My other brother served in the Marine Corps. My other brother served in the Coast Guard and I was an M1 Abrams tank crewman. I love my country and didn't become what u call, a "Conspiracy Theorist" until after I left the service. I was a huge WW2 buff and loved all things military. When I was old enuff, I joined the Army right out of high school, despite the fact I should've been playing opposite Jerry Rice on the 49ers! (Smile) I was watching a PBS documentary on the Vietnam War and saw Robert McNamara apologize for the False Flag event known as "The Gulf of Tonkin" incident. I realized my brother died, and nearly 60,000 of America's sons,over a lie, or as you say, a conspiracy theory. Hope this helps you on your journey of discovery.

Awesome link. Wanted to quote a bit...
Skeptics are important in achieving an objective view of reality, however, skeptism is not the same as reinforcing the official storyline...
when skeptics attempt to ridicule a conspiracy theory by using the official story as a means of proving the conspiracy wrong, in effect, they are just reinforcing the original "mainstream" view of history, and actually not being skeptical. This is not skepticism, it is just a convenient way for the establishment view of things to be seen as the correct version, all the time, every time.

Government is "just" incompetent?
are you serious? how evil does one have to be to do horrible things to people? Tuskegee ring a bell? Or any number of other known atrocities driven by the corrupt, evil people in our government. Evil is more common place than not in some areas of our government.
How can one be so blind to the evil all around us? And those trying to educate and alert others are denigrated by all of you so enlightened souls.

we all agree that government will do any task
slower, more expensively and worse except conspiracies which for some reason we believe they can do perfectly. You can't have it both ways imho.
I believe there were lots of difference conspiracies at play on 9/11 but I don't believe the idea that one big government conspiracy explains it all. I don't believe, either, that 9/11 was just a series of incompetent coincidences. It was a mixture of incompetence and conspiracies.
What we seem to be missing is a nuanced view on just about everything.

look at this:
I met this man before and after--
most of the people around whom I lived at this time who also could have known him refused to believe what happened to him, though even by now (much later) the U.S. congress acknowledged its error--
I'm not sure if he has ever been reimbursed; I think he may be dead now--
This was very well covered up. How many other such incidents have been covered up?
I know several people (one a scientist with a Ph.D.) who witnessed crimes that could not be proven and who became the object of psychopaths--
the one I knew very well managed to escape a death that would have been very hard to prove was criminal--
but he never blew a whistle--
I admire whistle blowers, because they are willing to be mocked/sneered at for having pointed out to people who prefer blindness that all is not well in *our* civilization--and that many things are very wrong--
What I am talking about with the people I know very well (not George Hansen, whom I only met)--

why don't those of *us* who believe in . . .
"shadow government" (a term used by Dr. Paul) 'arrest' those who are complicit?
Because those who are complicit have the support of the mainstream media and are in positions of power . . .
over those of *us* who suspect *them*.
I would be very surprised if most on DP haven't at least done some graduate work--
and most of the people *I* know who suspect conspiring among those in powerful economic circles and in powerful political circles and their various agencies--
are also well-educated--
but most of those of *us* who suspect this have seen things go awry in aspects/facets of society that others do not see--
for example, do you know, personally, someone who was the subject of eugenics experimentation?
Well, I do--
changed my paradigm.
Once you meet a political prisoner nobody else has ever heard about--
your paradigm also begins to change--
Believe it or not; it's your choice--
but why on earth would any civil person 'kick you off' this discussion blog?
I always appreciate those who oppose with civility.

Your #1 problem is....
Your #1 problem is your misplaced reliance in Occam's Razor. It is only applicable to events that cannot be manipulated my humans. If you have every studied history, you will realize that a huge number of historical events happened as the result of conspiracies. USS Maine, JFK's assassination, USS Liberty to name just three such events from the last century. Your second problem is lumping all "conspiracy theorists" together. I, as a scientist, cannot tell you with certainty what happened in PA, DC and NY on 9/11/01 but I can with 100% certainty tell you what did not occur. What did not occur is what the 911 commission said happened. How do I know this? Because the laws of physics would have had to have been suspended that day. Humans have successfully sent spaceships out past the heliosphere and we know with a great deal of precision where those craft are today. We were able to do this because the laws of physics apply throughout the known universe and do not periodically mysteriously stop.
Since the official government conspiracy is untrue, a mature and curious mind would want to know what did happen and the fact that our government intentionally is distributing erroneous information makes it the #1 suspect for it is prima facie proof of guilt.

Freudian defense mechanism.
When outside forces put one in an uncomfortable situation, the body has the following mechanisms to cope: 1) stress; 2) mental defense mechanisms;
Scapegoats are the easiest way to releive the anxiety. For example, Ron Paul's ideas of liberties (as he presents them) do not sell well unless we are under bad economy. Since RP offers to take care of millitary personnel, veterans and their stress syndrome, most of those folks had come over. RP does not extend such an offer to trade unions at larger. Otherwise, they too would be here.
Now, how one of these soldiers, students with debt and veterans who wasted their youth can complain about themselves, their parents and their neighbors? They would sound weak and inferior. On the other hand, blaming a scapegot (government, bankers, zionists, illuminati, etc.) becomes a coping mechanism that justifies his particular situation and relief him from personal responsibilities (it is not I who killed Iraqis, it is neo-cons who forced me.) This is the same as workers used to blame greedy capitalists for their hard work and low pay.

Why cling to the simplest explanation possible?
Razor Theory: "If you have two theories that both explain the observed facts, then you should use the simplest until more evidence comes along"
Central Dogma of Biochemistry:
DNA ---> RNA ---> Protein This dogma worked great until RNA reverse transcriptase, RNA replicase, and prions were found. It's now a lot more complicated than previously thought.
How many "conspiracy theories" already have been proven to be correct? I'm not making up this stuff. It is the truth.
1. JFK: Scientific acoustical evidence establishes a high probability that two gunmen fired at President John F. Kennedy. The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.
2. Vietnam War started by a lie. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident never happened:
"the reported second attack by North Vietnamese PT boats on 4 August never happened and that "SIGINT information was presented in such a manner as to preclude responsible decision makers in the Johnson administration from having the complete and objective narrative of events of 4 August 1964."
"many historians now believe the supposed attack by North
Vietnam naval forces on the Desoto patrol on 4 August did not occur."
"Congress authorized the war after Johnson contended that American warships had been attacked by North Vietnamese patrol boats in the Gulf of Tonkin on Aug. 4, 1964. The attack never happened, as a report declassified by the National Security Agency in 2005 made clear. The American ships had been firing at radar shadows on a dark night."
3. FDR foreknowledge about Pearly harbor is already posted on the Daily Paul.
4. Big Bang Theory Hoax - This one is very close:
Halton C. Arp is a professional astronomer who, earlier in his career, was Edwin Hubble's assistant. He found that high redshift values do not necessarily mean that objects are far away; high redshift quasars that are symmetrically located on either side of their parent low redshift galaxies. Mainstream astrophysicists try to explain away Arp's observations of connected galaxies and quasars as being "illusions" or "coincidences of apparent location". The large number of physically associated large red shift quasars and low red shift galaxies that he has photographed and cataloged defies that evasion. It simply happens too often. Because of Arp's photos, the assumption that high red shift objects have to be very far away - on which the "Big Bang" theory and all of "accepted cosmology" is based - is proven to be wrong! The Big Bang theory is therefore falsified.

Companies can request assistance or a 30-day extension by visiting the U.S. Census Bureau Web site at www.census.gov/econhelp/ or by calling 1-800-233-6136. The census forms were mailed to more than 4 million businesses nationwide, including an estimated 26,000 in West Virginia, in mid-December 2007. West Virginia's response rate for the 2002 census was 89 percent. The economic census is conducted once every five years.
"The Economic Census profiles our economy on a local, state and national level," said Kelley Goes, West Virginia Secretary of Commerce. "The census provides the facts that local entrepreneurs and national policy-makers need to make informed decisions."
The census forms ask businesses to report information such as employment, payroll, health and pension benefit expenses, and the value of goods and services sold. The information on individual businesses is kept confidential. Only the aggregate figures are published for governmental policy-makers and industry-specific profiles for business owners.
The first census results will be available in early 2009, when the total for all economic sectors are tallied in the advance report.
