My personal thoughts on the 3-day cleanse – THE START!!
- At October 08, 2012
- By Jill

I get asked all the time how often I do the cleanse. Believe me…all the time. I also get asked what's the longest amount of time I have done the cleanse (5 days!). To be quite honest, I certainly don't do it as often as I would like considering the accessibility I have to the products. But as we all know, life gets in the way (as done wine for that matter!) and it's not necessary to do it all the time. So while I may not do the cleanse as often as my clients would suspect, nor am I vegan who only eats raw food, I do drink the juices every day. Whether it's for breakfast (my favorite – Energy) or in the afternoon as a pick-me-up (my go to – Immunity, Sweet & Spice, or Refresh), I am constantly drinking fresh, raw, live juices. Like many of you know, the benefits are incredible. I am naturally a high-energy person but having the juices on a regular basis really fuel me through the day and through my life.
So because it's been a couple months since I last did the cleanse (the end of July, to be exact), I wanted to do it again for many reasons, but the main one being that I wanted to do a "quality assurance check" on my products and make sure the program continues to be top-notch. I also wanted to make sure this was still a juice cleanse program that even if I wasn't the founder and owner, would be super excited to do on my own dime.
Here you will find my day-to-day experience and honest-to-goodness thoughts on doing the cleanse as a regular person. Believe me, I indulge. I love wine, I love pizza, I love going out to eat and trying new foods but I do eat healthy 90% of the time. That said, it is still challenging to drink juice and only juice all day. I plan to exercise during the next couple of days so I am sure I will be utilizing my own snack list that many of my clients rely on when juice cleansing.
I appreciate every single person that has ever tried the cleanse. It's a huge challenge in willpower and I know mine will be tested, for sure!

Buy It, Steal It, Skip It: Music Releases for the Week of July 22
Dr. Dog Fate (Park the Van)
The fifth disc from this Philadelphia quintet might sound inspired by late-60s psychedelic rock but, obligatory Beach Boys comparisons aside, Fate adds up to something completely original. Blissful three-part harmonies and piano chords abound, but it's not all sunshine all the time. Check out "The Ark," which tackles all the big questions—God, war, love—before asking, "What does it mean to be here?" Sounds a bit preachy, but I'm convinced.
Verdict: Buy it
Black Kids Partie Traumatic (Columbia)
The bloggers haven't stopped buzzing about these guys since they let everyone download their five-song EP for free on MySpace last August. On this, their debut full-length, the Black Kids repackage four of those tunes and add a few more guitar-driven, synth-heavy dance tracks. Most of the songs are fun and exciting, for, like, one week. But "Hit the Heartbreaks" and ""I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You" are so insanely catchy and infectious, they'll never grow old.
Verdict: Steal it
Candlebox Into the Sun (Silent Majority)
It's the first record since 1996 for this Seattle-based grunge-rock outfit. And 1993's "Far Behind" is, well, far behind all of us and certainly them. There are a few moments on the new release where Candlebox gets close to recapturing its early-90s magic, but those moments are fleeting. Take your mama's advice and don't look into the sun.
Verdict: Skip it


text: you asked... Q&A: Exercising while pregnant? Is it safe to exercise while pregnant? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: Is it safe to exercise while pregnant? Tracey Mallett: You've probably heard that pregnancy and labor will be easier if you're in good shape, but your first trimester isn't the time to start a whole new workout routine. If you already workout regularly, it's usually okay to keep it up through your first trimester, but be sure to check with your doctor first. The best exercise regimen for the first trimester? Walking and stretching on a daily basis. Here's why:1. During pregnancy, your blood volume increases by a whopping 50 percent. As a result of all this extra blood circulating in your body, your heart rate is higher -- even at rest -- and exercise may feel more difficult, especially in the first trimester. This additional blood volume also causes you to take deeper, faster breaths and lowers your blood pressure.2. Cardiac output also increases. In fact, it's 30 to 40 percent higher than it was before you got pregnant. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, you can safely engage in 30 minutes or more of moderate exercise on most, if not all, days. Walking, swimming, riding a stationary bike, using an elliptical, and low-impact aerobics are perfect cardio options as your pregnancy progresses, since these activities don't put any pressure on your joints, loose ligaments, or pelvic floor. Listen to your body and make sure your rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is around 7. Try the talk test: If you cannot hold a conversation while exercising, you're working out too hard and need to slow down or lower the intensity.3. Your heart rate will be much higher than before you were pregnant, so it's important that you give yourself plenty of time to cool down. It can take up to 15 minutes. Stop exercising when you start feeling tired and never work to exhaustion.Need more direction?

Doing 30min everyday on a glider has been to much for me.I think I will walk and stretch instead! Mrs.JungBaby | re: Q: Exercising while pregnant? I've been enrolled in a salsaerobics class for the past 3 months and love it! I just found out that I am pregnant but I have been doing ok so I think I am just going to not work as hard in the class! But I do feel good! dimples_cdm | re: Q: Exercising while pregnant? I am 11 weeks now, and I have been taking hip hop, jazz, breakdancing and dance aerobic classes for the past 5 years. Some weeks i'd go 2 times, some weeks only once. But after my pregnancy, I was reluctant to go because of the fear of miscarrying in the first tri. I'm going to the gym once a week now and taking a dance aerobics class, but I am used to working out hardcore, so I can handle it (and carry on a conversation easily). But a part of me still is afraid, as hiphop moves and certain dance moves require a lot of jerky motions, and pop' n'lock. I am trying to justify going, because it makes me happy. and Dance is my stress release, and my passion. And I've been doing it for over 5 years, so shouldn't I do what I have already been doing?? Plus I am not really showing yet, and it's not like th ebaby isn't protected with the amniotic sac or anything, right?I need some real advice. shs500 | Q&A: Exercising while pregnant? should i not exercise at all if i have had miscarriages in the past within the first trimester? i'm scared to do anything in these 1st 4 months.. should i still stretch and do very light walking? lakersgirljj24 | Q&A: Exercising while pregnant? I'm in belly dancing and in hip hop. I know belly dancing is ok to do while pregnant but I don't know about hip hop. Does anyone know if hip hop dance class is ok to do while pregnat? bride32710 | Q&A: Exercising while pregnant? I've been doing aqua aerobics for the past few months and I love the way I feel during and after a workout. I just found out I am 7 weeks pregnant and I am planning on continuing the class, but just taking it a little easier and not pushing myself too hard. It is so weird! Just last week after my Wednesday class I noticed how great my stomach and abs were looking, then on Friday I found out I was pregnant! mgracem505 | Q&A: Exercising while pregnant? I asked my dr. due to the mixed reviews. He told me to keep my heart rate below 140-150 bpm, and to stick with my current routine (jogging, workout videos, etc). email@example.com | Q&A: Exercising while pregnant? I'm certainly no pro but before I found out I was pregnant I finished up P90x (around my 5th week). Found out I was pregnant at 6 weeks or so, stopped working out, told my doctor about my regular hip hop classes, spin, running. She just said to watch my heartrate (keep it around 150) and drink lots of water and DON'T WORK TOO HARD! I'm at abuot 13.5 weeks and ok just a little less time at the gym (maybe 3 classes a week) and walking in between. JessicaJenkins83 | Q&A: Exercising while pregnant? shs500, I was doing cardio kickboxing prior to pregnancy. The doctor recommends low impact exercises and not to do anything that will have you bouncing up and down. Probably your hip hop class is to much. They told me no way to the cardio kickboxing. loreleidelacruz | Q&A: Exercising while pregnant? I am 16 weeks and I can still barely get myself out of bed! I used to workout alot before I was pregnant (yoga, running, spinning) but I cannot seem to find the energy. Is it safe to go back to my previous workout, or would it be like starting from scratch? I work 12 hour shifts and I am on my feet all day so I walk a reasonable amount but I just want to do more... I know it's good to exercise but I am just unsure of where to start now! jpirrone | Q&A: Exercising while pregnant? I just found out that I am pregnant. I'm only 5 weeks. I started a workout routine about 3 weeks ago with running, elliptical, weight work, and stretching. Is it still okay to do? Or should I just walk and stretch? This is my first baby so I am totally clueless! niharkne88 | Q&A: Exercising while pregnant? I just found out I am pregnant, (still have to go to the doctor.) I usually do a step aerobic class twice a week. Any advice on how safe that is to continue doing? JonandVictoria | Q&A: Exercising while pregnant? 1 week prior to getting pregnant I ran a full marathon and had ran/trained the entire year before that. At 4 weeks I ran a half marathon. When I finally went to the doc at 12 weeks I had dropped down to about 15-18 miles a week (4 days of 3-5.5 mile runs). The doc said that was perfectly fine since I'd done it before and baby looked good. Now, at 32 weeks, I am down to 12-15 miles a week (3 or 4 days of 3-4 mile runs). I feel great and baby is growing great.

The Wolves three-game road trip — began on Friday, ends tomorrow night — spans the entire NBA spectrum. Friday night was at San Antonio, where the Spurs are the league's gold standard of consistent excellence. Tonight was at Memphis, last year's Western Conference finalist that has a new coach (Minnesota's own Dave Joerger, who replaced Lionel Hollins) and –importantly — does not have the services of Marc Gasol, who is out with a sprained knee ligament. Tomorrow night is at Boston, where the Celtics are playing above their heads with an 11-14 record. Boston has a rebuilding roster and — despite the early success of Coach Brad Stevens — seems like a lock for the lottery. The mini tour includes the upper, middle, and lower classes of the current NBA, and in descending order.
The Spurs were 17-4 heading into the Minnesota matchup. Despite a stellar Kevin Love performance (42 points, 8-9 3pt field goals) the Wolves came up short. Love ran out of gas, trying to carry his team and go blow for blow with the Spurs Offensive Machine. Tony Parker, rested relative to Love, went to work in Winning Time. He navigated the Wolves defense to the tune of 12 points in the final 7:35. Parker scored 29 in the game and dished out 6 assists. When facing San Antonio — by far the league's best-executing team offense — it's always difficult to tell if they're that good or you're that bad. On Friday, the Wolves clearly struggled to defend. Their offense, without any help from so-far superstar scorer Kevin Martin (more on this later), was almost enough. But allowing 117 points will rarely result in a victory. The Wolves lost by 7. It was a splendid game to watch, but with a bittersweet result of defeat that seemed like wasting a special Kevin Love performance. The loss dropped the Wolves record down to 11-12, once again below .500.
Tonight was a far different matchup. At Memphis, the Wolves faced a Grizzlies team that was 2 games under .500 and struggling without its team MVP and leaguewide Defensive Player of the Year, Marc Gasol. Behind more Kevin Love domination and a J.J. Barea scoring surge, the Wolves build a lead as high as 19 in the second quarter that fell down to 10 at the half. Barea was playing his usual style (dribble-happy, improvisational) and it was working for a while. He had 13 points on perfect 4-4 shooting (3-3 from downtown) in the first half.
Things got uglier in the second half, but the Wolves never quite surrendered their lead. It dropped to just 2 points more than once. Mike Conley was having his way on offense (28 points on 12-20 shooting) before injuring his knee and leaving the game with just 3:54 to play. I don't know the extent of the injury, but he did go to the locker room. It was 95-92 with just over two minutes to go when Pek — on consecutive possessions — drew fouls on Zach Randolph. Each time he converted both free throws. Paired with some timely defensive stops, the win was sealed up.

Online shopping is becoming more and more popular. With the wide variety of things you can buy online, you need to make sure you are checking the website for a couple of things. How can you know you are safe online shopping?
Recently, I was looking for a new camera. I was researching various models when I came across a few websites that listed them at unbelievable prices! Excited but skeptical, I dug down more and discovered these websites were shady, at best. That is, something gave me the impression they weren't entirely trustworthy. I settled on a site with an established reputation — Amazon.com — and purchased the model I liked for what I thought was a fair price.
I've been buying online for a number of years. And, regardless of the current state of the economy, more and more people are buying online, too. According to one estimate, 60% of consumers shop online at least once quarterly.
As most of us are becoming more familiar, and comfortable, with purchasing from websites — as our numbers continue to grow — questionable or outright illegal selling practices are also on the rise. How do we know that the websites we're buying from are legitimate?
Safe Online Shopping: Things To Look For
Here are a few things you can check for before you make the decision to buy from any website.
1. Detailed Information
One of the most obvious signs of a website's sincerity and competence is easy availability of information. Unless you have something to hide, there's no reason to skimp on such things as detailed product descriptions, delivery information, pricing, and even company information — the company's history, physical location, and a variety of ways (names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc.) of contacting someone at the company.
A somewhat important, but often overlooked, detail is a website's "whois" domain registration information, on registrar sites like Godaddy or Network Solutions. Most of the shady websites I encountered had their domain owner information masked under private registrations.
Always feel free to email or call the company to get an idea about their business practices or customer service standards. See if you get hold of a "real" person or if you're just sent to voicemail.
2. Recognized Brand
Most big-name, well-known online retailers like "Amazon.com" or "Buy.com" are safe bets, as are websites recommended by people you know or the ones you have previously bought from (and didn't have any complaints about). I say "most" because in rare instances, a third-party crook could be enticing you to visit a make-believe website simply to steal (or "phish") your information.
Make sure that the address bar of your browser always begins with "http://subdomain.name-of-the-retailer.com", where "subdomain" is "www", "store", or something similar. Avoid shopping from websites that have an IP (internet protocol) address — usually four sets of numbers — following the "http://" in the address bar (e.g., "http://123.456.789.012/").
3. Encrypted Data – Secure Transaction
When you shop from a website, all information you enter (like your contact and credit card information) are transferred from your computer to their web server. You want this transfer to be encrypted and secure. That's what the SSL (secured socket layer) certificates do, so that a third-party cannot easily "eavesdrop" on your transaction and steal your personal information.
There are two ways to ensure that a website has SSL certificate installed. First, look for "https://" in the address bar, especially when you're in the area of the website where you're asked for sensitive information, like the shopping cart checkout.
Second, look for a padlock icon either on the address bar or towards the bottom right of the webpage. Many sites also use logos of SSL providers. Feel free to click on those logos to verify proper encryption.
4. Clean Record – Assurance is the Key
Other things to look for are the company's record. Check to see if the company is a member of the local Better Business Bureau. If it is, you can check for any complaints against the company and, if there were, how they handled those situations.
Also look for website reviews online. Keep in mind that sometimes these reviews can be skewed by a small number of dissatisfied customers, or jealous competitors, but look for the reviews themselves to see if they're consistently good or bad. Consistently poor reviews indicate potential problems or a pattern of misbehavior within the company.
5. Customer Satisfaction Is Our Primary Goal
Here at Bizmanualz, we're mindful of the concerns our customers have about safe online shopping. We are proud of, and deeply thankful for, the trust thousands of customers have bestowed upon us over the 15-plus years we've been in business. We adhere to strict website security standards and take your privacy very seriously. Shoppers recognize this and, as a result, customers from around the world visit our website, view our samples,and buy our products.
We'd love to hear from you about your online shopping experiences, whether it be safe online shopping or just the opposite. Also, if you have any questions or comments about our own online security standards, please feel free to call us at 314-863-5079, contact us online, or leave a comment.
Thank you, and happy holidays!

Gov. Martin O'Malley signs in-state tuition bill, opponents continue petition drive
May 10, 2011
ANNAPOLIS, Maryland: Almost a month after Maryland officials voted to approve Senate Bill 167, on May 10 Gov. Martin O'Malley gave the green light and signed the legislative bill.[1]
SB 167 would allow illegal immigrants to pay in-state or in-county tuition at Maryland colleges. in order to qualify students are required to have attended a Maryland high school for three years, as well as prove that their parents or themselves paid taxes. Initially, students that qualify would have to attend a community college. However, after two years, the students can transfer to a four year university. According to reports, the legislation is estimated to cost $3.5 million by 2016.[2][3]
Opponents of the legislation have launched a petition drive for a veto referendum in 2012. In order to qualify a veto referendum on the statewide ballot, a minimum of 55,736 valid petition signatures must be submitted by June 30, 2011. The state's distribution law requires that no more than half of the required signatures be from any one county or the City of Baltimore.[4]

Job Matching in the UK and EuropeBevan S, Cowling M a study commissioned by the Sector Skills Development Agency This study was commissioned by the Sector Skills Development Agency to help inform the evidence base on which its policies and activities are based. It seeks to explore how well the skills of workers meet the demands of their jobs in UK and Europe, and what factors lie behind this. What is the Purpose of this Study?This study has examined the job matching issue from two perspectives. The first is the viewpoint of employees, derived from the European Working Conditions Survey, conducted in 1996 and 2000. Using a self-report measure of job matching, we have been able, using univariate statistics and multinomial analysis, to examine the following questions:
Second, and drawing on our empirical findings, we have conducted qualitative research in four organisations in the UK which employ some of the workers we have identified as most likely to experience job-skills mismatches to explore in finer detail why, and how, this occurs. Job Skills Matching in the EU-15The overall rate of job matching in the EU-15 increased slightly from 84% in 1996 to 85% by 2000, however the UK had the lowest rate of job matching in the EU-15 in both periods. The UK's performance improved (from 77% job matching in 1996 to 80% in 2000 of the EU average) although not at a rate fast enough to eliminate the deficit. Of those who reported that their skills did not match the demands of their job, 7% of EU workers said the demands of their job was too high for their skill levels (under-skilled) and a further 7% said that they possessed more skills than demanded by their job (over-skilled) across the EU-15. While the rate for under-skilling was little changed since 1996, there had been a decline in over-skilling and hence a corresponding improvement in job-matching. In 2000, while the UK reported the lowest rate of job-matching, the highest rate was in Denmark at 92%. Under-skilling was most prevalent in France (12% of employees) and least in Finland (3%). In the UK, 11% of employees reported they were under-skilled. Over-skilling was most prevalent in the Netherlands (12%) and least in France (5%) and in the UK the rate was 8%. Job Skills Matching in the UKWomen report slightly higher levels of job-skills matching than men in the UK. Older workers are slightly more likely to consider themselves under-skilled than over-skilled (this is borne out in multi-variate analysis of the data for women), in contrast to younger workers who hold the opposing view. This is interesting and suggests a need for continuing training for workers of all ages to ensure they remain fully able to cope with the demands of their job. It also suggests that many younger workers start their careers by doing jobs not fully commensurate with their skills, but grow into this as their careers develop. By sector, in 2000, the highest rate of job matching is in the Construction sector and the lowest in Transport and Communications, although the variation is just 6 percentage points. The Transport and Communications sector had the highest rate of under-skilling and Retail and Wholesale the lowest. Hotels and Catering had the highest rates of over-skilling and Construction the lowest. Employees in Plant and machine operative occupations were least likely to report skills which matched the demands of their job (76%) and, correspondingly, most likely to be under-skilled (17%). Employees in Unskilled/elementary occupations were least likely to be under-skilled (6%) and most likely to be over-skilled (14%). Longer job tenure is associated with better job matching, the implication being that both employer and employee deploy processes to ensure better matching of skills to jobs, whether through training or job enhancement/promotion. However, the survey data also suggest that job tenure can be associated with higher levels of under-skilling among some employees – and is consistent with earlier findings on age with the same implications for policy. The incidence of training declines as we progress from under-skilled, to matched, to over-skilled workers. Yet in 2000, 42 per cent of under-skilled workers received no training. In addition, 40 per cent of over-skilled workers did receive training. There was no evidence that training led to over-skilling, however. Emerging IssuesWe conducted qualitative research in four businesses which has illustrated a variety of employer practices which can either perpetuate or eliminate job-skill mismatches. For the most part, the steps taken by employers to improve job matching seem mostly reactive and tactical rather than proactive and strategic. Changes in the nature of skill demand are often dictated by labour market constraints or by market pressures. There appears to be very little workforce planning activity linked to business planning, nor do many organisations seem to be engaging in wholesale skill audits. In the context of job matching, it is possible to categorise the approaches which employers are taking to resourcing and performance management in the following ways.
These examples illustrate that at least a proportion of the job-skill mismatches identified by surveys and other data can be explained by the resourcing practices adopted by employers. Some of their practices are deliberate responses to market pressures, others have come about as a result of custom and practice or inertia. ConclusionsBased both on our survey and qualitative findings, it is possible to reach the following conclusions:
Further ResearchThis study has focused on data collected at two points in time and based on employees' self-reports. While the results shed considerable light on many aspects of the job skill matching issue, these aspects of the methodology are also inherently limiting. Future studies should seek to collect data over longer time periods and rely less on self-reported data.

A referendum campaign caused the Fairfax Town Council to drop its plans Wednesday night to reconsider its adoption of an ordinance that paves the way for an additional 124 housing units.
Fairfax's attorney, Janet Coleson, told the council it was legally precluded from making changes in the ordinance at this time because opponents of the ordinance had submitted signed petitions earlier that day seeking a ballot referendum on the issue.
Marin County Registrar of Voters Elaine Ginnold Thursday said she received petitions with 1,015 signatures. To qualify the referendum for the ballot, opponents of the ordinance had to gather the signatures of 524 registered voters living in Fairfax by Friday. Ginnold said she hopes to finish evaluating the signatures by the end of next week.
If the referendum qualifies for the ballot, the Fairfax council will have three choices: rescind the ordinance, put the referendum on the November ballot or put the referendum on the ballot in 2015, Ginnold said.
The ordinance implements the zoning changes necessary to bring the town in compliance with state housing law. Every county and municipality in California is required to design its zoning laws to encourage the creation of a certain number of housing units every seven years.
State planners are trying to ensure there is sufficient housing to accommodate California's growing population and striving to see that new housing is built closer to transportation hubs, in an effort to reduce greenhouse gases. Opponents say the zoning changes will result in unnecessary development and increased traffic.
While a discussion of the ordinance was removed from the council's agenda Wednesday night, both opponents and supporters of the rezoning ordinance took turns commenting on the zoning changes during public open time.
Shelly Hamilton, a member of the Fairfax Planning Commission, expressed her disappointment that opponents of the ordinance hadn't waited until after the council meeting to submit their signatures.
"The proponents of the referendum had been asking the Town Council to fix loopholes and address mistakes, and the council was poised to respond to what the community had asked them to do," Hamilton said, "and yet the referendum was filed the afternoon before the meeting."
She said use of the referendum constitutes an upping of the ante in the local debate over smart growth.
"I think that other municipalities should pay very close attention to what happens in Fairfax," Hamilton said, "because this is a new political tactic that may be employed elsewhere."
Fairfax Realtor Diane Hoffman, one of the referendum leaders, said she didn't realize that turning the signatures in Wednesday would prevent the council from reviewing the ordinance. Hoffman said the group was "pretty shocked" when it realized it had collected over 1,000 signatures.
"We thought, let's just turn them in," she said.
Hoffman said it doesn't worry her that residents in other municipalities might use similar referendums to kill efforts to create housing in their communities.
"That sounds like democracy to me," Hoffman said.
Supporters of the ordinance say opponents have played fast and loose with the facts in an effort to inflame public opinion. One point of contention, for example, is whether or not the zoning changes affect the "Wall property," 99 wooded acres in the hills overlooking the town.
During Wednesday's meeting, Graham Irwin of Fairfax said he wished he could remove his signature from the referendum petition, after learning that the Wall property will not be affected by the zoning changes as he was told it would.
But former Fairfax Councilman Frank Egger maintains that the town's housing element, which contains the zoning changes, does show the zoning on the property increasing from 10 units per 100 acres to 25 units per 100 acres.
Fairfax Town Manager Garrett Toy said there are a couple of tables in the housing element showing what Egger is describing, but Toy says they are clerical errors.
"Typically, if you have hundreds and hundreds of pages, you're going to have little things you're going to have to adjust," Toy said.
Egger, however, said, "It was absolutely no typo."

A brutal episode in the Philippines has put violence against journalists in headlines across the world. According to press reports, a convoy of supporters for gubernatorial candidate Ismael "Toto" Mangudadatu was abducted Monday while on the way to file nomination papers for upcoming elections in Maguindanao province. Authorities soon discovered their bodies, many of them in shallow mass graves. At least 46 victims have been recovered, including 12 journalists; the massacre has been described as among the deadliest single episodes for journalists anywhere in the world.
CJR assistant editor Greg Marx spoke Tuesday to Bob Dietz, Asia program coordinator for the Committee to Project Journalists, about the broader culture of political violence in the Philippines and the risks posed to journalists. An edited and condensed transcript appears below. For a more detailed look at CPJ's response, visit the organization's Web site.
Greg Marx: It's still a bit of a fluid situation. What do we know about what happened, and what has the initial response been like?
Bob Dietz: What we know is changing all the time, especially in terms of numbers of people killed, who they were, number of journalists involved—there were lawyers as well, and family members [of the candidate], and other political supporters. To try to come to grips with this situation, you have to put it in the context of a culture of political violence in the Philippines. This wasn't an attack directed against journalists, although they were certainly killed, but rather a sort of local political battle that went extremely off the rails.
When we look at the government's response so far, they've said all the right things: they've promised a full investigation, [said] this will not go unpunished, they've declared a state of emergency. But one of the things that jumped to our mind immediately was that in declaring a state of emergency, the government will restrict movement of reporters to the area, which is absolutely unacceptable. This thing has to be reported completely and fully by journalists, as well as by whatever investigative teams the government's going to throw at it.
Clearly it's going to deserve an investigation that will transcend what the local police or local courts can do, and the central government will have to get involved very fully. Having said that, it might even be worth considering, although I don't know that we're calling for it at this point, having some sort of internationally-based investigation, just to make sure it doesn't go by the wayside.
One of the Philippines' greatest problems is that, at least in terms of the deaths of journalists, there's an incredibly high degree of impunity. According to our research, the Philippines ranks sixth-worst in the world in terms of bringing to justice people who kill journalists. We've harped on it and hit them so hard over the years that recently they've been trying to make some improvements—there were two or three cases in which prosecutions had actually started.
But the reality is that much of the Philippines is insecure. Despite being a democracy for almost 60 years now, in the countryside there's very little justice brought to bear in many of these cases. This applies not only to the deaths of journalists, but to the general population as well.
GM: Are there situations in which journalists in particular are targeted?
BD: In this specific case, I think you can say clearly they were caught up in that broader context of general political violence. In many of the other cases, the people who are killed are local reporters covering local stories—very often, they're radio personalities kind of firing from the hip on air, maybe representing the viewpoint of someone who didn't win the local mayoral election, trying to denounce or reveal corruption in the current mayor's government. And increasingly, those people—who we treat as journalists—are seen as part of that political problem, and seen in that larger political context. Very often we have a hard time winnowing out why a journalist was killed: Was it because of their work as a journalist, or was it because they were involved in some other issues peripheral to their journalism?
We see this kind of confluence of politics and journalism as a political reality; that's part of the way the country works. Newspapers and radio stations are very often politically tied or are working for some sort of political agenda, and that's where the violence comes from.
GM: Is there reason to believe in this case that the journalists who were in this caravan were supporters of this candidate?

i'm somewhat of a blush fanatic and i quite love this stuff. i'm on my third tin. the good points first - it's very versatile and buildable, works with any make up look; it's travel-friendly (i carry this in my purse for touch ups); it blends very well; it also works as a great base for a powder blush. it also lasts forever. however, the staying power is pretty bad. if i wear this without powder on top, i would probably have to re-apply every hour. further, the name is misleading. it looks fantastic on my cheeks but on my lips... not so great. it's very drying, highlights every crack in my lips and takes on a strange, orangey color.

Powder pink is just not for me. On my warm tan skin it looks ruddy and odd no matter how little I apply. It seems to really accentuate any redness in my skin. I feel this is best suited for those with fairer skin. Pale pink fits my skin tone much better. I hate to say it but I think BB's pot rouges are a bit overrated. The product is somewhat sticky and hard to apply evenly. Her powder blushes look much more natural on me than the rouge pots. Glad to hear that others enjoy this product tho.

I purchased this now discontinued shade online after seeing Lisa Eldridge's video on a "no-makeup makeup look".
Initially, I wasn't really impressed with the colour: I thought it was neither too pink, nor beige - a bit of a "nothing" colour.
But after wearing it a few times, I noticed that it gives me a peachy pink glow which is both natural and dewy looking. I prefer this product on my cheeks: on my lips, the shade is a bit more peach than I would like it to be.
The product itself does not feel oily or greasy but it doesn't look dry or cakey either, which I guess are signs of a good quality cream blush. It is really easy to blend, and because it is such a neutral colour it is good for mixing with other cream blushes to subtly colour correct shades you don't like.
You could wear this shade all year round. I would mainly wear it in winter for a warm winter look but I could also adapt it for a bronzed summer look.
Would I buy it again? Probably not because there are so many other amazing products out there but this is definitely a good product to have.
It hasn't irritated my acne prone, sensitive skin.

I am so in love with this stuff. I have been using it most days for the last 6 months and have only made a little hollow in the middle. I put it on after foundation and before powdering. On days where I want to look fresh and natural I use it on my lips too and it is very pretty. I didn't use it on my lips until I saw makeup artist Lisa Eldridge (she is on You Tube) use it for an everyday makeup look and really liked the effect.

This is more of a 3.5 for me. I find this product kind of sticky feeling which makes it a little hard to blend, but this stuff is quite pigmented while not too harsh-looking, which I like. I've only used this as a blush so I cannot attest to its use as a lip colour. The screw-top is a little cumbersome to deal with after finger-stained applications, but overall I like this product and I would buy it again.

Love love love this stuff!! Worth every penny. I started using my mom's when we were on vacation with my parents. I loved it. I am a big Paula's Choice fan as well, and first apply the PC tinted moisturizer, and then apply this over it. I apply both with the beauty blender pink applicator. Big fan of all three. I got the beauty blender and the PC moisturizer for Christmas. My mom didn't expect I would love the Pot Rouge in Powder Pink so much. She was willing to give me hers (she's that kind of mom!) but I insisted that I would get my own. After much searching (it was sold out at the BB makeup counter, Nordstorm store and online, Bloomie's online, Neiman Marcus online, amazon....) I realized this is a very popular product!! I am sooo happy to have found it (unused and unopened) on ebay! It's natural and doesn't look like I applied a ton of makeup, yet I look pretty good at the same time! I love it. Even my husband liked the look of it. I'm so excited to get it in the mail this week! I'm going to be VERY happy with my purchase!

I think this is a great product. While some powder blushes leave a powdery trace, this blends into the skin quite nicely giving my cheeks a natrual, healthy tint. I find that this color lacks white pigment, which is to its great benefit. I have used other cream blushers which have too much white pigment which, in turn, looks very cheap and pastey. I find this product rather long-lasting as I have not noticed the color fade during a typical 8-9 hour workday. As a lip color, I have found that it works best on VERY moisturized lips. Otherwise, it seems to accentuate any cracks or bits of dry skin. When my lips are adequately moisturized, this looks great. The BB pot rouge is a great solution for a light-skinned someone looking for 'just enough' color to pull off a 'no makeup makeup' look.

I'm generally not a Bobbi fan, but I will give her her due here. She hit it out of the park with this one. I have dry skin and large pores and was looking for a cream blush to wear in winter when my skin is at its dullest. This is a gorgeous warm pink that looks so healthy and natural. I thought it would be too warm and dark with my fair skin, but I was wrong. It is perfect. It is expensive, but it will last forever. If you buy this I suggest you use a brush and replace the cap immediately. The pan attracts and traps dust etc. Every now and then I wipe the surface with a baby wipe to make sure it is clean. My only gripe with this is that, like all other Bobbi products I've owned, the cap is broken in two places. I can't stress enough that I am not hard on my makeup. With the exception of my cardboard Benefit boxed powders which get tattered quickly, my other beauty products hold up much better. At think her customers have the right to expect better at this price point.

My new HG blush. I have always worn powder blushes and watched Lisa Eldridge do a makeup look with this and loved it. I bought this and Cabo Coral the next day and have used both since. Color is easy to apply on top of my TM and sets perfect with a little mineral powder. Stays all day and no glitter or sparkle. Gives my NC30 skin a nice flushed look without being too pink. Goes with all my eye and lip makeup.
I have been wearing them on my lips too...staying power is not great, but makes a nice base for other lipsticks or gloss. Will definitely buy again.

I've been grabbing this automatically every day from my collection of blushes. It works with every look I'm doing and I don't have to think about it. Not so interesting in the pan - a confused mash up of peach, pink, tan - kind of cheap and ugly looking, really. I got this as a sample and when I used it I was wowed. I gave it a 4 because it doesn't last and NO WAY would I ever use this on my lips. However, I'm sure I'll use this up and get another.

The Montana State football team is in Great Falls for its annual Triangle Classic spring scrimmage, and all eyes are on the quarterbacks.
The competition between Jake Bleskin, Tanner Roderick and Dakota Prukop for the starting quarterback job is the No. 1 position battle in spring camp. Quinn McQueary is also in the mix, though he is injured.
Saturday's scrimmage at Memorial Stadium in Great Falls will provide coach Rob Ash and offensive coordinator Tim Cramsey with another good look at the QBs.
Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m.
"I want to see continued improvement from the quarterbacks," Cramsey said. "I want them to continue to take what the defense is giving them. Jake and Dakota have each completed a very high percentage of their passes. I've been very impressed with all three of them this spring."
The Bobcats have been hindered by injuries since the start of spring practice which has led to what have been described as creative personnel packages and altered expectations. MSU hopes to leave Great Falls without any significant injuries.
"The guys have adapted very well," Ash said. "We've made improvements and are making some good evaluations. Saturday's scrimmage won't be lengthy because we're just so thin at some spots, but we'll get some good work in."

Three mini-columns for the price of one:
Just when you think you know everything about Tom Brady, there he was on WEEI Monday morning, in his weekly gig with John Dennis and Gerry Callahan, and he gave more insight into what defines him now than anything he ever says in his weekly news conferences at Gillette Stadium.
And maybe the most important thing he said?
That work ethic is more important than anything else.
There is no overestimating this, not when he's 35 years old, his ticket to the Hall of Fame already punched, and with all the money and all the fame anyone could ever have wished for.
So what keeps him still doing this? What keeps him doing this, even when he admitted that it shrinks his world, makes him almost unable to go out in public, almost makes him a prisoner of his own celebrity?
It's that he knows this is all about the present tense, knows that all this can end with one bad step, one bad hit, knows there are no guarantees. He knows he is almost an endangered species as a great NFL quarterback, a realization that makes this season all the more urgent. Who knows how many more he's going to have?
The other thing that came across in the interview as solid as a blind-side hit is the insularity of Brady's world, a life regulated by practices and games. It's the sense that the NFL is like a bunker, and everyone has to be in it, even a 35-year-old quarterback with Hall of Fame credentials. It's the sense that this has been Brady's life, this ability to shut everything else out, this ability to focus.
That's where the unrelenting work ethic comes in.
To Brady, it's the one thing that everyone has to have, even him. It's the sense that, even now, this is what it's all about, even for someone who walks with the kings of the game.
Big Papi's got his new two-year contract, and the long national nightmare is over.
Just kidding. Sort of.
Don't misunderstand. I appreciate Big Papi as much as the next guy, for his productivity, his aura, his link to the glory days of the two World Series titles, all of it. There's no question the Sox were better last year with his big bat in the lineup than they were when he was out of the lineup. Even if Bobby Valentine suggested on his way out the door that Papi shut it down at the end of the season.
But a two-year contract at 37?
Two years, when he's coming off an Achilles' injury that sidelined him for the last two months of the season?
Then again, it's just money, and since the Sox throw it around like baseballs in fielding practice, what's another year for Ortiz in the big scheme of things? Not a whole lot. Worse-case scenario? It's a going-away present on the way out the door, and you can make a case he earned that a long time ago.
If nothing else, the new two-year contract makes Ortiz stop talking about his contract, a constant whine that was getting obnoxious.
So let's call it a win-win and be done with it.
Before this all gets forgotten, let's give the Rhode Island College basketball team a little love for what they did Saturday night in The Dunk against Providence College. Let's remember that they were leading, 25-24, at halftime before a stunned crowd, a first half that was almost surreal to watch.
Because let's not kid ourselves here. PC and RIC might be only about a 3-pointer away from each other in location, but they are worlds apart in basketball lifestyle. And RIC is not supposed to be able to play with PC.
No how. No way. Ever.
In fact, they don't even play each other, proof of what different basketball universes they exist in. Saturday night was the first time.
The Anchormen were undersized and undermanned, supposed to be little more than just a public scrimmage for the Big East Friars, one of those preseason joke games designed to be little more than a public workout. That it wasn't was testimony to both the grit and heart of the Anchorman, a team that is very well coached by former Friars assistant Bob Walsh and always plays as if it's on some mission.
At halftime it was evident that we could be watching something that had the potential to be truly significant, the night RIC upset the Friars in one of the most remarkable basketball games ever played in the long history of The Dunk. One of those games that would become mythic in stature.
And if it eventually didn't turn out that way, anyone who watched it knew that at halftime it had been a very real possibility.
Ultimately, the Friars won the game.
But the night belonged to Rhode Island College.

How to tell if a GM is whispering you
Let's dissect the above whisper:
- It's one whisper made to look like two. This will work if your chat settings match the scammer's chat settings, but if you've fiddled with your font or chat window, then the formatting will be off and the scam will be more obvious.
- The whisper is from a garbage name. All "players" I've seen with random characters have been scammers or gold selling barkers. So anything after such a name should be considered highly suspect.
- It says [Game Master]GM. The scammers aren't even trying here. Blizzard GMs have names and have <GM> before their names.
- It sends you to a non-Blizzard site. Don't go to any website you get in tells or in-game mail as a general rule. If you have received a ban of any kind, you will receive an email to the account you have on file with your subscription info.
Now, this is what it looks like when a GM is actually whispering you [Edited to reflect current GM chat.]:
Notice the differences:
- The GM has an intelligible name. It's an actual name, not random letters and not just GM or Game Master.
- The syntax is BLIZZ[Name]. There is now a BLIZZ logo next to the GM's name, which is in brackets.
- There's no whisper from a stranger right above it. The scammer could use someone's stolen account, so an incomprehensible name is not a guaranteed method of identifying a perp.
- GM chat pops up in its own window. This is important because there has been at least one case where a GM accidentally left a BLIZZ logo on a non-GM player. This allowed the player to chat with a logo next to his character's name for a while.
Reminder: If you get an email from Blizzard, please make sure it is really from Blizzard before you click on anything in it. The best way to do this is to call their support line (link goes to Blizzard's global support listings). If there is anything up with your account, they will confirm it. If not, they will direct you in how to report the email you received.
Of course, if no one bought gold, it would not be profitable for scammers to spend the time sending you in-game messages and out-of-game emails. And with how easy it is to make money in Azeroth these days, I really don't understand why anyone would support hackers in this way. But people are still buying gold and therefore, the rest of us must be constantly vigilant against account thieves.

First Milk and Arla raise milk price for ex-DFB producers
HUNDREDS of ex-DFB producers are to receive improved milk prices from First Milk and Arla.
In the case of First Milk, some 80 per cent of the 410 ex-DFB producers on milk supply contracts are to be offered full membership and a standard litre price of 22.06ppl. They are currently on 19.65ppl.
Arla is raising the ex-DFB producer price to 21ppl for September - it is retrospective and based on market realisation - but says it expects to be able to utilise all their milk within the business in October and November and the price should match that of the standard litre contract price which is 24ppl at present.
The First Milk offer is full membership from November 1 subject to a 0.3ppl capital retention.

Know Your Stuff: The 110 Best DIY Tips Ever
For Popular Mechanics' 110th anniversary, we decided to do something special: We dived into our archives to find the 110 best, handiest, and most helpful tips ever printed in PM. It's more than a century of DIY wisdom. (You can read the introduction to the project here.)
By The Editors
Brace for Boards
Our September 1948 issue showed how to store an ironing board upright in a closet by mounting a towel rack to a wall. The board's tip slips up under the chest-high rack. It's still a good idea. At the right height, a rack (or a rig made of steel pipe fittings) could support brooms or lumber.

Out today on Kodiak Collective is AGLORY's Tesseract EP, which is a beautiful glance at the evolving bass music scene in the US. Not only are AGLORY's original tracks on this ("Ajang" and "Suave") fierce examples of hyper trap music, we get a trio of "Ajang" remixes that highlight how diverse our scene can be.
You have to appreciate the old school lean that AGLORY puts on his tracks, with the keys and classic vibes, but you can also dig into the current/future sound of trap and club music with things like Big Makk's remix of "Ajang," which takes a bit more twisted approach to the trap we hold dear. Kid Cedek takes a Baltimore club approach, bringing the pulsating rhythms while keeping it deep and intoxicating, while Aire Atlantica goes for the electro house vibe, although a bit more subtle than some of the in-your-face bangers out there.
All in all a solid EP, one that should either be solidifying why you love some of these artists or giving you a reason to discover them right now.

I live in South Korea, close to Seoul. I have a garden on my balcony--poor claylike soil and containers both. Last year, tomatoes were okay and vigorous. Aside from the expected splitting of fruit during the rainy season, they survived and had decent production late July/early August. I started earlier this year and I have noticed some strange kind of damage on many of my plants. Caterpillars? I've looked and looked and, other than a few aphids (not enough to worry about--the ladybugs will be here soon) I don't see anything that could cause this kind of damage. Any ideas? Also, perhaps it is from rain, but the lower leaves are curling upward. I'm going to assume it is from too much rain recently and slightly poor drainage. |

I think your assumption is correct. If you overwater even once it seems, some leaves will curl - nature's way to give you a clue! The curling is usually on lower leaves and they will remain curled. So long as you are not continuing to get more curling, you are probasbly fine! |

In my free time I like to listen to good music, to prepare some food, to cook tasty dishes and spend time with friends and family. I like to go to the cinema and watch some romantic or adventure movies. I like nature and all sorts of plants and animals. Self-Description:
I am a kind, sincere, merry, cheerful, life-loving and tender. I love life and I try to be happy with every morning, every day that comes brings me a new promise of something wonderful! I am always optimistic, positive and dynamic. My greatest wish in life is to find a real love and create a strong family. Tatiana is searching for:
Friendship is most important to me in life, that is why my man should be also my best friend, my soul mate. I look for someone to understand my interests, share my feelings. He should be caring, reliable, trustful, faithful, kind, strong and sincere. Then I'll give him all my heart. |
