Beijing (pronounced /beɪˈdʒɪŋ/, Chinese: 北京; pinyin: Běijīng, [peɪ˨˩ t͡ɕiŋ˥]), also known as Peking (pronounced /piːˈkɪŋ/ or /peɪˈkɪŋ/), is a metropolis in northern China, and the capital of the People's Republic of China. Governed as a municipality under direct administration of the central government, Beijing borders Hebei Province to the north, west, south, and for a small section in the east, and Tianjin Municipality to the southeast. Beijing is one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China. Beijing is divided into 14 urban and suburban districts and two rural counties. Beijing is a major transportation hub, with dozens of railways, roads and motorways passing through the city. It is also the destination of many international flights arriving in China. Beijing is recognized as the political, educational, and cultural center of the People's Republic of China, while Shanghai and Hong Kong predominate in economic fields. The city hosted the 2008 Olympic Games. Few cities in the world besides Beijing have served as the political and cultural centre of an area as immense as China for so long. The Encyclopædia Britannica describes it as "one of the world's great cities," and declares that the city has been an integral part of China's history for centuries; there is scarcely a major building of any age in Beijing that doesn't have at least some national historical significance. Beijing is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, and huge stone walls and gates. Its art treasures and universities have long made the city a centre of culture and art in China.
The earliest remnants of human habitation in the Beijing municipality are found in the caves of Dragon Bone Hill near the village of Zhoukoudian in Fangshan District, where the Peking Man lived. Homo erectus fossils from the caves date to 230,000 to 250,000 years ago. Paleolithic homo sapiens also lived there about 27,000 years ago. There were cities in the vicinities of Beijing by the 1st millennium BC, and the capital of the State of Yan, one of the powers of the Warring States Period (473-221 BC), Ji (薊/蓟), was established in present-day Beijing. After the fall of the Yan, the subsequent Qin, Han, and Jin dynasties set up local prefectures in the area. During the fall of the Han, it was the seat of the warlord Gongsun Zan. In Tang Dynasty it became the headquarters for Fanyang jiedushi, the virtual military governor of current northern Hebei area. The An Shi Rebellion was also launched from here in AD 755.
In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang, soon after declaring himself the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, sent an army toward Dadu, still held by the Yuan. The last Yuan emperor fled north to Shangdu, and Zhu razed the Yuan palaces in Dadu to the ground. The city was renamed Beiping (北平) in the same year, and Shuntian (順天) prefecture was established in the area around the city. In 1403, the new (and third) Ming emperor - the Yongle Emperor - renamed this city 'Beijing', and designated Beijing the co-capital alongside the (then) current capital of Nanjing. Beijing was the subject of a major construction project for a new Imperial residence, the Forbidden City that lasted nearly 15 years (1406 to 1420). When the palace was finished, the Yongle Emperor ceremoniously took up residence. From 1421 onwards, Beijing, also known as Jingshi (京师), was the "official" capital of the Ming Dynasty while Nanjing was demoted to the status of "secondary" capital. This system of dual capitals (with Beijing being vastly more important) continued for the duration of the Ming Dynasty. Thirteen of the sixteen Ming Emperors are buried in elaborate tombs near Beijing.
The Xinhai Revolution of 1911, aimed at replacing Qing rule with a republic, originally intended to establish its capital at Nanjing. After high-ranking Qing official Yuan Shikai forced the abdication of the Qing emperor in Beijing and ensured the success of the revolution, the revolutionaries in Nanjing accepted that Yuan should be the president of the new Republic of China and the capital remains at Beijing. Yuan gradually consolidated power and became by 1915 the new emperor of China, but died less than a year into his reign. China then fell under the control of regional warlords, and the most powerful factions fought frequent wars (the Zhili-Anhui War, the First Zhili-Fengtian War, and the Second Zhili-Fengtian War) to take control of the capital at Beijing. Following the success of the Kuomintang (KMT)'s Northern Expedition, which pacified the warlords of the north, Nanjing was officially made the capital of the Republic of China in 1928, and Beijing was renamed Beiping (Peip'ing) (北平) on 28 June that year, in English meaning "northern peace" or "north pacified". During the Second Sino-Japanese War, Beiping fell to Japan on 29 July 1937, and was made the seat of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China, a puppet state that ruled the ethnic Chinese portions of Japanese-occupied northern China; the government was later merged into the larger Wang Jingwei Government based in Nanjing.
On 31 January 1949, during the Chinese Civil War, Communist forces entered Beijing without opposition. On 1 October of the same year, the Communist Party of China, under the leadership of Mao Zedong, announced in Tiananmen the creation of the People's Republic of China and renamed the city back to Beijing. Just a few days earlier, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference had decided that Beijing would be the capital of the new government. At the time of the founding of the People's Republic, Beijing Municipality consisted of just its urban area and immediate suburbs. The urban area was divided into many small districts inside what is now the 2nd Ring Road. The Beijing city wall was torn down to make way for the construction of the 2nd Ring Road, which was finished by 1981 in accord with the 1982 city plan. That road was the first of a series of new ring roads intended for Vehicles rather than for bicycles. Following the economic reforms of Deng Xiaoping, the urban area of Beijing has expanded greatly. Formerly within the confines of the 2nd Ring Road and the 3rd Ring Road, the urban area of Beijing is now pushing at the limits of the recently constructed 5th Ring Road and 6th Ring Road, with many areas that were formerly farmland now developed residential or commercial districts. According to a 2005 newspaper report, the size of the newly developed Beijing land was one and a half times larger than the land of old Beijing within the 2nd Ring Road. Wangfujing and Xidan have developed into flourishing shopping districts, while Zhongguancun has become a major centre of electronics in China. In recent years, the expansion of Beijing has also brought to the forefront some problems of urbanization, such as heavy traffic, poor air quality, the loss of historic neighbourhoods, and significant influx of migrants from various regions of the country, especially rural areas. On 13 July 2001, the International Olympic Committee selected Beijing as the host for the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Three styles of architecture predominate in urban Beijing. First, the traditional architecture of imperial China, perhaps best exemplified by the massive Tian'anmen (Gate of Heavenly Peace), which remains the People's Republic of China's trademark edifice, the Forbidden City, the Imperial Ancestral Temple and the Temple of Heaven. Next there is what is sometimes referred to as the "Sino-Sov" style, built between the 1950s and the 1970s, with structures tending to be boxy and sometimes poorly constructed. Finally, there are much more modern architectural forms — most noticeably in the area of the Beijing CBD and Beijing Financial Street. Beijing of the early 21st century has witnessed tremendous growth of new building constructions, showing various modern styles from international designers. A mixture of both old and new styles of architecture can be seen at the 798 Art Zone, which mixes 1950s design with a blend of the new.

If you're not staying inside tonight to hide from the heat and make stencils and paper orangutans (not that you really need an excuse to get your craft on), you should totally check out the free comedy show over at Lolita Bar. That's where I'll be at least.
Two of my lovely ladies help organize "Tell Your Friends," every Monday at 8 p.m. at 266 Broome St., and it's sure to be worth some laughs.
Tonight's line up is Leo Allen, Tom Shillue, Liam McEneaney, Peggy O'Brien, and host Chris Mata.

Well, I was feeling good, so I planted my salvia, tomatoes and geraniums yesterday. They are all mush today. I'm hoping the geraniums will come back. I should have know better and waited 2 more weeks, shucks.
At least I can save the other 4 flats of plants, that I guess were protected with the absorbed heat from the concrete driveway where they sat all night. I've got to take them all into the garage somewhere, and pull in the house plants too. I am so ready for warm weather. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ohhh aren't we all. I didn't have time to pot up my sprouting Elephant Ears in the big pot. I'm happy about that now. Whipped that puppy into the shed along with some other stuff. Ah, Michigan. Karen (Grand Rapids) |
I'm about to stomp my feet and pout if things don't warm up. I need to get my cherry tomatoes up or I will positively explode. This is a new garden for me and I am like a kid at Christmas. The soil is in super shape, the support is up, but the dreaded F-word keeps popping up in the forecast and I dare not get the plants into the ground. Is this a really late spring or am I imagining things? As an aside, I picked up an elephant ear, too. It's been potted up in the kitchen for the past three weeks and so far bears a striking resemblance to a coconut stuck in a bucket of loam. Do these things ever sprout? C. |
Elephant ears take a long time to form their root system before they sprout. Be patient. I think we're done with the F word now, so I'm going to plant accordingly |

FARZAD By STACY MEYN Published April 7, 2006 Mirror Of Emotions Amity
Six-year-old Farzad Khozein began learning the violin from his uncle, a renowned Iranian kamáncheh (small Persian cello) player and violinist. After a relative was executed by the Ayatollah Khomeini, Farzad and family fled to North America. Farzad added to his training by studying classical, jazz and new age styles, especially enamored by Latin music during a stint as concertmaster of the National Symphony Orchestra of Ecuador. Therefore, it's no surprise that the main message of Farzad's music is unity among his natives. On his earnest and aptly titled Mirror Of Emotions, he addresses searching, discussion, understanding and, above all, love. There is an undercurrent of contemporary jazz, but you'll find yourself paying more attention to Farzad's fairly hypnotic performances, which escape the expected blandness factor. He deftly tackles a modified Persian folk melody and three Latin tunes amid the mix. Farzad also plays piano (his composing instrument) and keyboards, joined by album producer and major session cat Louie Shelton (Barbra Streisand, Marvin Gaye, Neil Diamond), who plays acoustic and electric guitars. Bassist Craig Nelson and drummer Tommy Wells round out the group.

This is a great recipe that I prepared for guests earlier this year. I loved how it turned out. That's why I am sharing it with you today. Your guests and families will be impressed!
servings with this recipe: about 8-10
Pasta dough
300-350g wheat semolina
cest of an organic lemon & lime (to taste)
1 tsp salt
3-4 tsp olive oil
125-150 ml water
flour for the working surface.
Mix all the ingredients together but don't add all the water at once. You might not need all of it. Knead the dough to combine all ingredents. The dough is perfect if it has an elastic texture. Wrap the dough up in some plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 60 min.
The filling
100-150g of fresh salmon (or other fish), finely diced
1 small onion or shallots, finely diced
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp capers, finely diced
herbs & spices: sea salt, white pepper, nutmeg, chives
Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl and season with herbs & spices.
If you want to do this pasta dish as an apertizer
1 scallop per person
How it comes all together
The easiest way to roll out you pasta dough is a pasta machine. I love mine! Cut your dough into 2-3 seperate pieces. Dust you working surface and the dough with flour and start rolling the dough out. It should be as thin as 2-3 mm.
Then cut out your pasta shapes and add about a tablespoon of filling to your pasta. Use some water to make the pasta lid stick to the underpart and press both parts together.
Bring salted water to a boil using a large pot and cook the pasta for abou 3-5 min. Then take them out of the waterand sprinkle them with some olive oil to prevent them from sticking together.
Melt some butter in a pan and let it brown. Sautee the pasta and the scallops. Scallops will ned about 1 min per side only. You want them to have a shiny and glossy center. Season with some sea salt and lemon cest/ juice.

California's decision to keep its climate laws on track is a blow to the oil industry that sought more time before they were enforced.
The lead backers, Valero Energy and Tesoro, which own four California refineries, say the regulations will cost the state more than 1.1m jobs, raise electricity rates up to 60 per cent and result in $3.7bn more in higher gasoline and diesel prices. They say the big losers are Californians.
The refiners had backed Proposition 23, a measure on the ballot that would have delayed implementation of carbon regulations until the state's unemployment rate falls to 5.5 per cent and stays that way for a year. The unemployment rate is at 12.4 per cent.
But the companies were up against the terminator: Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger had spearheaded the legislation four years ago to establish California as global clearn energy leader, requiring it to cut greenhouse gas emissions 30 per cent by 2020. The law was his legacy, and the governor fought to retain it.
Charles Drevna, president of the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association, which represents over 450 companies, responded to the defeat of the measure in a statement today:
The defeat of Proposition 23 will hurt families across California by destroying jobs and raising the costs of gasoline, diesel fuel, electricity and more. It is the wrong medicine at the wrong time for California's ailing economy, which suffered from a 12.4 per cent unemployment rate in September that left 2.27m men and women unable to find jobs they so desperately need.
He predicted the climate legislation would not help the climate:
The severe economic pain and hardship caused by the extreme mandates of Proposition 23 will accomplish absolutely nothing positive in terms of climate change. They will result in the relocation of jobs and businesses from California to other states and other countries, along with the relocation of carbon emissions produced by those businesses and people. Since every state and nation on Earth share the same atmosphere, moving carbon from one location to another will not bring about any reduction in greenhouse gases.
Unfortunately, he is probably right. If the rest of the US does not do more to curb its carbon emissions, California's efforts will be in vain. And with the Republicans back in charge in Congress, it looks like what little momentum there had been to clean up the rest of the country is likely to come to a grinding halt.

Spokane clears homeless encampment from under I-90 viaduct
The Interstate 90 viaduct spans about 4,000 feet through Spokane, cutting through the historic downtown. The city constructed a skate park, tennis courts and a parking lot under the structure and, until recently, it also served as a roof to some 50 homeless people.
On Thursday, Jan. 10, city workers notified people living under I-90 that they had 24 hours to clear their tents and belongings and find another place to stay.
Social workers have visited the location since the New Year to encourage people to move into one of the nearby emergency shelters.
People have camped under the viaduct for years, said Marlene Feist, spokesperson for the city of Spokane, but since Jan. 1 their numbers have grown so that not everyone is covered by the structure.
Violating a camping ordinance is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of $1,000 and up to 90 days in jail. Police and city officials, however, hope for voluntary compliance and do not intend to fine people, Feist said.
The Washington State Department of Transportation owns the property but has leased it to Spokane since 1970. City ordinances allow encampments on public and private property, but they require permits.
This encampment gradually grew on its own, Feist said.
She said the covered area is appealing because it offers shelter from the elements and also because a program called Blessings Under the Bridge serves meals there every day.
Like many cities, Spokane has a
10-Year Plan to End Homelessness that calls for moving people into permanent housing.
"Our plan really demands that we transition people from homelessness into a sustainable housing situation," Feist said. "For us, tents outdoors in our climate is not one of those solutions."
Area emergency shelters have openings and are not currently full.
"We're really hopeful that what we can do is make the help more attractive than being outside," Feist said.

Forbidden City
Forbidden City
Imperial Palace complex in Beijing, containing hundreds of buildings and some 9,000 rooms. It served the emperors of China from 1421 to 1911. No commoner or foreigner was allowed to enter it without special permission. The moated palaces, with their golden tiled roofs and red pillars, are surrounded by high walls with a tower on each corner. The palaces consist of the outer throne halls and an inner courtyard, each palace forming an architectural whole. North of the front gate, a great courtyard lies beyond five marble bridges. Farther north, raised on a marble terrace, is the massive, double-tiered Hall of Supreme Harmony, once the throne hall, one of the largest wooden structures in China. The palaces and buildings are now public museums.

This moisturizer contains retinol, which is a great ingredient for aging skin. It also contains some good antioxidants known to improve skin. The problem is that these ingredients won't remain stable due to the jar packaging—how foolish on the part of Epicuren. As with many other Epicuren products, the company disregards FDA requirements for ingredient lists and uses made-up terms such as "isomeric crystalline cartenoids." We wouldn't choose this moisturizer with retinol over several products with better formulas and that are available at the drugstore, such as those from Neutrogena, RoC, and Olay Pro-X.
A synergistic, antioxidant blend formulated to target the effects of time. Skin will look firmer and smoother, while the appearance of fine lines are diminished to magnify a brilliant, youthful complexion.

You may have come across this brand while visiting a spa, but like many spa-designed products the claims are far more impressive than the formulas, and it's here that Epicuren Discovery takes the cake! They make some of the most farfetched claims and poorly formulated products the cosmetics industry has to offer.
Promising "a highly effective path to aesthetic improvement" along with an ageless complexion, it's no wonder Epicuren has stimulated so many questions from our readers. It's hard to resist the allure of a line like this, especially when you're being told about the products from well-meaning aestheticians who've just spent the last hour doting on your face.
At the heart of Epicuren is the company's exclusive (always exclusive, isn't it?) enzyme protein complex. They refer to this complex as the Metadermabolic Enzyme and describe it as "a protein that is combined with a waterborne solution of B vitamins to create a protein with intelligence." They claim it encourages your skin to rejuvenate itself, and they actually equate it to how exercise encourages your metabolism. Talk about nonsense! As you might have guessed, there is no research to back any of this up!
Whatever the company wants to call their complex, enzymes, whether from a protein or other substance, aren't extraordinarily beneficial ingredients for skin. They're notoriously unstable and certainly not likely to withstand the environmental exposure inherent to jar packaging, which Epicuren occasionally uses. As for the B vitamins, they show up in most Epicuren products, but they are used throughout the rest of the cosmetics industry as well. More to the point, no single group of vitamins or enzymes is capable of providing skin with everything it needs to repair itself, reduce inflammation, and become better able to withstand the factors that cause aging or the effects of aging.
Most notable is what Epicuren products lack. They come up short on antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients, and skin-identical ingredients. Skin, just like your diet, needs far more than a few beneficial ingredients. As the largest organ of the body, your skin requires a complex array of substances to keep it healthy and acting younger.
Even more shocking is Epicuren's blatant disregard for both FDA-mandated ingredient disclosure as well as global regulations. Product after product lists either made-up terms (e.g., "food grain distillate" or trade names such as Optiphen, which is a preservative, alongside ingredients that are listed inaccurately [we supply the correct names in parenthesis]). Not only is such labeling illegal, but also it keeps consumers in the dark about exactly what they'e putting on their skin. Epicuren had this same issue when we first reviewed their products in 2000, and it is shocking to me that they're still getting away with this deception on so many of their products.
Epicuren's assertion of being all natural is about as bogus as calling polyester natural. Their products contain synthetic preservatives, synthetic sunscreen agents, synthetic fragrance, and silicones to name a few. Plus, many of the natural ingredients they do include are irritants, and, therefore, are bad for skin.
After all of the bad (perhaps surprising) news above, you may be wondering if there are any bright spots in this line. In fact, there are, though they are few and far between, and those bright spots are dimmed somewhat by the needlessly high prices. The best news is that Epicuren gets all of their sunscreens right in terms of reliable UVA-protecting ingredients. Many of them also have elegant, lightweight textures and non-greasy finishes that consumers will enjoy, and anything that encourages more frequent sunscreen usage is positive. Epicuren also has a few sleeper products, such as a fragrance-free, fast-acting eye-makeup remover and an intriguing skin-lightening product with an impressive amount of the hydroquinone alternative arbutin. None of this good news is enough to warrant an Epicuren shopping spree, but if you're curious about these products or frequent a spa that retails this brand, at least you'll know which ones are worth your time and money after reading my reviews.
For more information about Epicuren Discovery, call (800) 235-1217 or visit www.epicuren.com.
Note: Our research assistant reported that Epicuren's customer service response for an initial email was very good; however, if follow-up questions occur (as is often the case), don't expect to hear from the company again. This odd behavior happened unfailingly, even when our team used a variety of different email addresses.

Lucky Haul: Céline for a Song
My husband says that every time I mention luxury label Céline, visions of Ms. Dion dance in his head. Hopefully that association is relegated to the past after yesterday, when he witnessed what had to be the biggest Céline score of the year.
Thanks to Barneys' 60 percent off sale and some gift cards, I was able to buy Phoebe Philo-designed loafer heels for just $79. Barneys doesn't sell its Céline stock online, which means you have to go to the physical store to get a pair. (They're currently marked down to $279 from $695. I saw them in black, as well as pink and black, at Barneys' Chicago location.)
And for real Céline addicts, the doctor bags are marked down as well. (The snakeskin had been slashed to below $3,000.) Now that my husband knows the incredibly important difference between Céline and Celine, maybe he'll help me add to my collection.

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 Buffy!
Facts about Buffy
- Breed: Turkish Angora
- Color: Tan Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Buffy's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and not good with dogs.
Buffy is a beautiful buff 7 month old kitten. She is extremely sweet but very shy. She needs a quiet home. She is in a foster home now and loves the other foster kittens so she would need to got to a home with non-aggressive cats or adopted with another young cat or kitten.
Other Pets at Lost Paws Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Buffy, a Pittstown Turkish Angora cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Turkish Angora for sale in Pittstown, or seeking a Turkish Angora cat from a breeder in Pittstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Pittstown 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 Pittstown 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 Turkish Angora breeders who help with Turkish Angora rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Pittstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

146 Department of External Affairs to Critchley
Cablegram 134 CANBERRA, 24 May 1948, 6 p.m.
Our 133. [1] United States suggestion as reported from New York is obviously vague as at present conceived. Nevertheless, if properly contrived it would obviously assist the Republic, particularly on the question of trade. The question of tactics will be important.
Glad of early advice on Republican Government's reaction.

All Articles Tagged "menstration"
What Would You Do? Addressing Your Co-Worker's Period Funk
Last night, my sister and I were watching TV when some type of feminine hygiene commercial came on. In the commercial the women were dispelling myths about their periods. All of the myths were indeed false, until one woman said, "I used to think that people would be able to smell my period." Immediately, I looked over at my sister. There was some truth behind that myth. If you wash properly and there are no other vaginal health issues, then people shouldn't be able to smell your period. But, if you neglect your personal hygiene, there's a good chance the funk might hit the fan…like literally.
If you don't believe this is true, check out this absolutely humiliating story about a woman who woke up late for work and didn't shower in the morning, though she was on her period. Here's how her day at the office played out.
Suddenly, Corynne noticed something was amiss. It smelled like an "animal died." I didn't smell it. Funny how that works. Corynne was screaming how bad it smelled. "It's coming in waves," Olivia said…But then I did smell it. We moved around, and strangely, wherever I moved, we had pinpointed and isolated the spot!.. It was my period-blood-overflowing vagina all along…
She didn't realize it was her period blood until she went home and used the restroom.
And then — AS ONE DOES — I went to the bathroom. That's when I nearly passed out at the smell of my now near-toxic-fumes-level of massive menstruation…
In this woman's defense, she mentioned that up until that day, her flow was too light so she took a supplement to increase blood flow. Well she certainly, got more than she bargained for. And though her story is a bit of a hot mess, there's a lesson to be learned here. The lesson is when you're on your period, wash your vadge, two or three times a day if you have to and change your napkin or tampon often. Hopefully, these are lessons we learned right around puberty when our mothers handed us our first sanitary napkin. I know in my house, my mother warned me about vaginal odor saying, "By the time you smell yourself, someone else has already smelled you." I don't know how true that is; I'd like to think if my vadge stinks, I'd be the first to know. But I can understand why she said it. It was a warning not to be caught slippin.' Don't be foul.
If however, you found that you were one of the coworkers in the situation above and you knew that the odor was coming from your coworker's pants, how would you handle it?
Would you pull her aside? Would you ignore it or would you wait until she left the room and talk about her with the other employees? If you would tell her, how would you go about having that conversation? What would you say to make her aware of the issue without humiliating her anymore than necessary? Do tell.
The Business Of Our Periods: Why Are Feminine Products So Darn Expensive?
I have to say, I really have some very keen friends within my Facebook network. For instance, Modupe Liston, a Milwaukee activist, posted a very poignant thought on her wall, "How come there is not an organized women's movement against the absurdity of high prices for feminine hygiene products such as tampons and pads?"
Excellent observation.
Always Ultra Thin Overnights with Flexi-wings has been my staple product since they were invented. I've never been a tampon girl as I have developed an abnormal fear of Toxic Shock Syndrome, thanks in part to my reading of the insert from a pack of tampons as a child (long story). Yet over the last couple of years, I too have noticed that my beloved sanitary napkins has begun to slowly creep up in price. It's not like an item that I can go without – unless I plan on taking up residency inside a menstruating hut, like the Dogon women of West Mali, for one week out of a month. Actually, that wouldn't be a bad idea if the hut came with cable television and dark chocolate chip cookies. But alas, I don't own a hut but I do have bills, which means that my hemorrhaging A$$ has to get up and go to work.
Anyway, the average cost for my necessity ranges between $7 to $9, depending upon the size of the package I get. Since I tend to flow on the heavy side, I go through about four to five of those suckers a day, which means that I use about a pack of around 36 in a month's span. Based upon my rough estimations, my Aunt Flow costs me about $84 dollars a year, which means that I have paid thus far around $1260 since I was 15. And by the time I'm relieved of my womanly duty (i.e. menopause), I will have spent over $3000, just on sanitary napkins. Of course, this cost does not include inflation. Nor does it include the cost of party-liners, PMS relief, chocolate chip cookies and Victoria's Secret panties that my aunt ruined. If we factor in these additional expenditures, we are probably looking at an additional $5000 over a lifetime. That is almost $10,000 of my hard earned money, which I have no say-son in.
The fact is that owning a vagina is pretty costly; from the pap smears, to infections, to the birth control, to actually giving birth, to menopause, woman must absorb certain costs that are exclusively spent on maintaining our natural, biological function. And who get's rich off of this? Well since it is the elite that runs things and majority of the 1 percent are not women, let's just say it's men. And in a lot of ways, they have us by the…ahem…lady parts.

BellaBefana said:And over here we're always looking for British stuff!
meandmy243 said:Yep i grew up on cadbury milk chocolate bars and fruit and nutt bars...
@TParisxx ok here in Canada we have cadbury, but it is NOT the same chocolate as in the UK. Everytime i have been there, I have had explicit requests from my British friend to buy him cadbury dairy milk, and also those McVities (sp?) 'penguin' cookies. They are so damn good. We have british specialty stores everywhere here, and I I am a sucker for all things chocolate...anyway I digress...You should take @eapple suggestion and definetley try some poutine! It is to die for.
@TheMomFactor Save up for a trip it's so worth it...just terrible on your waistline lol @Marionettevie American food looks so appealing to me, especially because of the Food network...drool...I've never been to white castle, or sonic or any of those places, and i would love to go there even just once lol
Moomin said:See, I'm American in the UK with no signs of returning any time soon (booooo!) And when I weigh it up there are most definitely British foods that I would miss, there are way more foods that I miss from home. The bread is better over here imo (but you cannot beat a cheese and mayo sandwich over there lol!), Dairy Milk is the shiz but I like the different Twix bars and variations back home. Soft drinks are tastier at home, don't try and palm me off with orange pineapple, mango, papaya "tropical" juice- to me tropical is a Kool-Aid flavor!! Red! OH actually bought me a case of Kool-Aid sachets from Amazon for my birthday, boy done good! You cannot get a British candy bar with a decent amount of peanut butter in it but the tea here tops any other. :) Grape is a hard flavor of anything to come by, which is a shame because it's a favorite of mine and cereal isn't even in the same league. I saw a box of Lucky Charms in a local shop last week. It was £8. Eight!!! And I can't buy the pop out biscuits to make monkey bread! I looooove monkey bread! Have done since I could gnaw food!
Have to say, @eapple poutine sounds totes amazeballs! And I don't usually use words like that!
AND PEANUT BUTTER!!! JIF does not happen here. That makes me saaaad!
TParisxx said:@cheesehead4ever umm I have NO idea? I've never eaten fish from a fish & chip shop that had it on :S maybe it depends what fish? I usually would get battered cod or something. What fish was it?
@Themomfactor yeah I'm not sure, all I know is you guys have lovely snack foods :D and I would love any recipes for any yummy foood thank you

Korea 8, Ukraine 2
Korea showed why it is the highest ranked team in at this Road To London tournament after making easy work of Ukraine in a 8-2 win. It was clear from the first whistle that this was a game between the sixth-ranked team in the FIH World Ranking against the #29-ranked team as Korea dominated the pace and rarely lost possession of the ball.
Korea was rewarded on its third corner attempt when Jong Hyun Jang fired in the ball in for the 1-0 lead in the eighth minute of action. Ukraine responded with the surprise goal scoring on its first shot of the game. But before anyone could even say 'Kiev', Korea struck with two goals to claim a 3-1 lead. Keun Dae Oh and Nam Yong Lee scored the markers.
After the flurry, the goal scoring settled down. Korea put in the 4-1 goal with 53 seconds left in the half owning a hefty three-goal lead at the break.
Korea wasted no time adding to its lead in the second half, scoring five minutes into action on a penalty corner flicked into high right corner of the net. After the goal Korea marched right back down the field and took the 6-1 lead. Hyun Woo Nam scored both goals for the Koreans.
With the game well in hand, both teams took the tact of saving some gas for the long week ahead. Despite the scaled back attack, the teams still managed to combine for three goals with Korea putting in two, bringing the final to 8-2.
Ireland 6, Russia 1
Host Ireland started its bid to go to the London Games in grand fashion with a 6-1 win against Russia.
Ireland came out nervous but settled in thanks to a pair of goals that come less than 30 seconds apart in the 14th minute. John Jermyn flick in a penalty corner and Timothy Cockram followed up for the 2-0 lead after getting the feed from Jermyn.
Ravshanzhon Zakirov helped the Russian regain their composure, putting in the 2-1 goal in the 25th minute after a scramble in front of the goal. The marker was the last of the half as Ireland took the slim one-.goal lead into the break.
Ten minutes into the second half Michael Darling gave Ireland the 3-1 lead after driving home the ball after the scrum in front of the goal. The lead extended further and gave Ireland some breathing room when Peter Caruth slapped in the 4-1 goal four minutes later. From there Ireland took control putting in another two goals to roll to the 6-1 win.
"We're pleased that we were able to score six goals," said Irish head coach Paul Revington. "It was a closer game than the final score indicated. We have some work to do before the upcoming games."
The player of the game was Ireland's Ronan Gormley.
Note: Umpire Andrew Kennedy from England was honored in a pre-game ceremony for his 50th cap.
Malaysia 5, Chile 1
Thirteenth-ranked Malaysia had its hands full against #26 Chile in today's Electric Ireland FIH Road to London opening game but ultimately pulled away for the win with three rapid fire goals early in the second half.
Under cloudy, cool skies in Dublin it took both teams a while to warm up to the action. Malaysia drew first blood of the event when Muhammad Razie Abd Rahim put in the 1-0 goal 17 minutes into action. Jan Richter had the answer for Chile five minutes later with a low flick. Chile goaltender Mathias Andwandter was kept on his toes for the remainder of the half but did his part to keep Chile's hopes alive.
Malaysia wasted no time taking the 2-1 lead in the second half, firing a shot in just one minute into action. Moments later Malaysia took its first convincing advantage of the game when the ball trickled past Andwadter for the 3-1 lead. Less than two minutes later, Malaysia put in the 4-1 goal, the final blow for Chile, who didn't mount an attack for the remaining 20 minutes. One last Malaysian tally in the 61st minute brought the final to 5-1.
Malaysia's Faizal Saari was named the player of the game.
Tomorrow all six teams are back in action as Malaysia plays Russia in the early game, the Ukraine takes on host Ireland in the second game of the day, and Korea and Chile meet in the late game

This sumptuous and simple dish is enlivened with the addition of vegetables and sprouts. Sprouting not only enhances the nutritive value of foods but also makes them easier to digest. It is really easy to make sprouts at home - simply soak the matki in water for 6 to 8 hours and then wrap them in a damp muslin cloth for 2 to 3 days taking care to keep the muslin damp at all times. Bulghur wheat is available at most traditional banias, not at our larger grocery stores. Ask your neighbourhood bania to get you some as it's a good substitute for rice. Serve with low fat curds or kala jamun raita.

Robbie Gets Serious
What up, my dudes? Its a new day in IMPACT WRESTLING for Robbie E and from here on in everyone on the roster needs to take me more seriously. I will always love tanning, the gym, women and fist pumping, but right now I am focused on getting wins and becoming a world title contender. I am Robbie E and I am not someone to look over as if I'm nothing. Here are the reasons that everyone needs to remember me and how talented I am.
5 - I am former X-Division and Television champion. That's two prestigious titles I have held in my less than two year IMPACT WRESTLING career, bro. Not too shabby, man.
4 - I have wins over AJ Styles, Devon, Eric Young, Jeff Hardy and two wins over RVD. Not to mention many others, bro. That's a pretty talented LIST that I beat!!!!
3 - Hardcore Justice - My performance at Hardcore Justice 2012 was like no other. Although I didn't win, bro, I was clearly the talk of the Pay-Per-View. I showed peeps a side of me that they have never seen. Nobody thought I was as tough as I am. I went through a table from the top rope to the outside of the ring and walked to the locker room by myself. I survived Bully Ray and Jeff Hardy who are masters of the tables match as well as James Storm who is one tough cowboy.
2 - Kurt Angle - Even Kurt Angle has admitted on several occasions and in interviews that I am super talented, tough and the future of IMPACT WRESTLING. Kurt Angle is the best wrestler of all time and for him to say that must mean there is something in me. Dudes need to beware of my dude.
1 - Jersey – I'm from Jersey! Do you even get that, bro? I've been in mad fights all over here man. All the way back in high school, the boardwalk, at clubs… and guess what? I always win. I know how to get down and dirty with the nastiest hamsters if I gotta.

Some athletes say that ribose helps improve recovery from intense exercise.
Ribose is used in the body to make adenine nucleotides, which are important components of the high energy compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Intense exercise depletes ATP and adenine nucleotides, and ribose supplementation can help restore normal levels of these components more quickly.
Ribose is a type of sugar used by the body to make the energy-containing substance adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Intense exercise depletes muscle cells of ATP as well as the ATP precursors made from ribose,1 , 2 though these deficits are typically replaced within minutes.3 Unpublished reports suggested that ribose supplementation might increase power during short, intense bouts of exercise.4 , 5 However, in a double-blind study, exercisers took 4 grams of ribose four times per day during a six-day strength-training regimen, and no effects on muscle power or ATP recovery in exercised muscles were found.6 In two other controlled studies, either 10 grams of ribose per day for five days or 8 grams every 12 hours for 36 hours resulted in only minor improvements in some measures of performance during repetitive sprint cycling.7 , 8
No known side effects have been reported from the use of ribose when consumed in amounts of less than 10 grams per day. Larger amounts may cause gastrointestinal distress such as diarrhea,9 and may lower glucose levels,10 although it is not known whether symptoms of hypoglycemia might result.
Ribose is present in small amounts in many foods of plant or animal origin.

This Thanksgiving Be Grateful
November 17, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
"It is He Who brought you forth from the wombs of wombs of your mothers when you knew nothing; and He gave you hearing and sight and intelligence and affections – that you may give thanks."
Life in the United States is by far superior to most places in the world. This is primarily because of the freedoms we enjoy here that most other places in the world are not aware of; and for this we should give thanks. We should be thankful to live in a country that opens its doors to other cultures, ethnic groups, and religious persuasions and allows them to live and practice as they see fit – as long as the spirit of the law is adhered to.
This Thanksgiving season that is approaching gives us an excellent opportunity to show our gratitude to God for everything He has bestowed on us. There have been so many extraordinary acts of kindness heaped on Muslims, Jews, Christians and other people of faith, who know and understand that good people abound in other faiths as they do in the faith they ascribe to. So we should be proud and hold our heads high and thank God for His Beneficence to those who believe in Him
We had nothing, before God, in His infinite Mercy, gave us life from the womb. But He didn't stop there. He didn't just create man and leave him be. He created man and gave him guidance, intelligence, and put love in his heart – so that man can be grateful and express that gratitude in the best manner – which is utilizing those gifts for His service.
There are also atrocities happening in the world that we might tend to look at in a negative way. Some might wonder how to look for ways to be grateful in the wake of such chaos? But the truth is Almighty God makes a way for the believers to gain something positive out of everything He sends to us or allows to happen to us. And for this we should be grateful.
We must be enthusiastic, bold, and straightforward in presenting our religion in the best light. Above all, we must not cringe and hide our identity for fear of being looked at unfavorably. The true religion and Islamic character will bring people to you faster than you can imagine. The Prophet (s) was the best example of all humanity and just to act like him puts you in an imitation of his position – and other faiths realize it. And for this we should be grateful.
The Prophet (s) treated everyone with respect. We should do the same. Whether you realize it or not, people admire Muslims for not taking intoxicants or unclean food – even though they might partake of these substances themselves. It is not necessary to shout our way of life to everyone we meet, but we should be enthusiastic in living these virtues. People will notice. And for this we should be grateful.
We must be enthusiastic in keeping our faith in God. Be thankful for everything. God–ALLAH will bless us immensely for recognizing His gifts and then being thankful for them. It is said of gratitude, "as for those who only pay lip-service to gratitude, and do not give thanks with the rest of their faculties, they are like a man who has a garment and all he does with it is touch it, but he does not put it on: it will never protect him from heat, cold, snow, or rain. Let us wear our "garment".
And in the Holy Qur'an He says, "If you be grateful, I will give you more."
Richard Russell: 12 Tips for the New Normal
November 10, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Cullen Roche
Few investment legends have weathered more than Richard Russell. Born in the Great Depression, Russell knows what it's like to live in hard times. And in this new normal he has some survival tips. The following are courtesy of Russell's Dow Theory Letters:
1 — Be a skinflint. Cut down on your spending. And be very nice to your boss, assuming you still have a job.
2 — Think in terms of NOT losing money. Forget about easy Wall Street profits. There aren't going to be any easy profits — not without a huge new infusion of borrowed money.
3 — Be sceptical of everything you read. The media is desperate for circulation, and it will slap on the cover of its magazine or newspaper any damn fool statement that it thinks will sell.
4 — Have faith in your gold. As confidence in the whole monetary system slowly fades, the desire for gold will heighten.
5 — Remember, there's often a large correction prior to the final speculative gold run.
6 — This time there may not be a "final gold rise," because large interests may just decide never to sell their gold. They'll keep their gold as a symbol of "eternal wealth" that can't be destroyed of go bankrupt.
7– Check out carefully the Permanent Portfolio (PRPFX). So far, it has done well and held up well. It's actually up so far this year, which is extraordinary. YTD return is 7.33%.
8 — Be very cynical about those "fabulous" money-making ads you hear on TV. Money is hard to make these days and risk in just about everything is high.
9 — Cut out expensive discretionary spending. Instead of eating at your favorite local restaurant, eat home and save many bucks. Supermarkets now stock endless "heat up" frozen dinners. Or better still, starting from scratch make your own dinners. Cooking is coming back.
10 — Take the long view. With stock dividends below 2.5%, the odds are that holding stocks "for the long run" is going to be discouraging or a loser.
11 — Money is made in the BUYING. When you buy anything at the right (low) price, the odds are that you're going to make money through the passage of time.
12 — Wall Street is suffering. When the Street suffers, its natural tendency is to come up with new "ideas." The ideas are usually risky (i.e., mortgage-backed packages). Be very sceptical of new Wall Street ideas and products.

Sophie Mackintosh (@sophmackintosh) of TopLine Communications provides inspiration for the development of creative LinkedIn campaigns by presenting us with some of the best examples of how companies have used the LinkedIn development network.
It's mean to admit, but it's true – LinkedIn is just not as pretty/user-friendly/accessible as other social networks. It's almost a little scary to the uninitiated, with all its sections and invitations and no-nonsense layout. But what it lacks in these areas, it makes up through being invaluable in an industry context. LinkedIn, as befits a social media site for professionals, means business. But that doesn't mean there's no room for creativity or a bit of fun; in fact, given that it's more challenging to attract subscribers than on other social networks, it's more important than ever. And, as some innovative companies are discovering, one way to do this is through building their own apps, utilising the LinkedIn API (or Application Planning Interface), and creating a more unique and personalised way to connect with their customers.
Here are three examples of companies that have done exciting things with the LinkedIn development network, a way for companies to both create and share their own apps:
Fujitsu created the app Profile Pitch – a fun way to measure up your skills against others. By logging in with LinkedIn your resume is assigned points based on qualifications, network and experience, and you then 'fight' against other to see who has the best skill set through avatars. You can even join up with other contacts and put your skills together to form a lean, mean, totally-rad-transferrable-skills team.
CNN Money
A slightly more sophisticated offering is up next from CNN Money, who decided to utilise LinkedIn's API for Company Insider when they unveiled their annual Fortune report of the 100 Best Companies to work for. When readers viewed the pages of these companies they could see who they were connected to – letting people see just how close they were to these top companies. This appealed not just because people were nosy, but because it helped them feel motivated about their own positions if they saw how closely everyone, even at the top level, was linked.
Volkswagen decided to promote the launch of the Volkswagen Passat in the Netherlands through the creation of a game called 'Linked In, or Linked Out?' Once you had signed up, you could challenge a connection to a nail-biting battle of recommendations and connections – but only one of you could be crowned the LinkedIn victor. However, if you were the victor you didn't just get the satisfaction of knowing that your CV was better: you also got entered into a draw for the chance to win a new car.
These three examples show how companies have used the LinkedIn API in ways that are fun and thought-provoking – inspiring competitiveness, encouraging people to connect with the companies, and tapping into people's desire to have fun and professional curiosity. If you look beyond LinkedIn's slightly stern exterior, there's a whole variety of unexpected ways to connect.

Has arm and hammer washing soda been taken off shelves like red devil lye? I cannot find it in any store. I have checked walmart, ace, albertsons, and safeway, does anyone in the phoenix area have a source for washing soda? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
If your favorite store also carries Arm & Hammer laundry detergent, just ask the manager to order you some Super Washing Soda. You can make homemade lye from wood ash, just do a Google search for information. -Grainlady |
Here is a link that might be useful: Arm & Hammer Laundry Products
Hmmm...there's plenty of it on the shelves here (Jamestown, NY) It's with the fabric softeners at my supermarket. |
Thanks for the idea about ordeing it, That will be much cheaper than the $15 shipping charge from Soapsgoneby.com. I looked at making Lye, but that just looks kinda scary. Too bad I do not live in New Jersey, I guess us Arizonans do not know how to do laundry:) j.k. |
I live in the Silicon Valley in California and have had the same problem finding washing soda. I've described washing soda as both readily available and, at the same time, not carried in every store. I've found it at local, not national, grocery chains (Nob Hill, a CA chain), local familiy-owned groceries (Cosentino's, which has a total of 3 stores and a produce section to die for) and sometimes, but not always, at drug store chain stores (such as Rite Aid, Walgreens, Longs). If you have any local chains or family-owned groceries that differentiate themselves by providing great customer service and selection, you might find it there or find them willing to order it for you. I'm not surprised that big chains don't carry it. Their strategy seems to be offering a limited selection of brands and products; if the brand or product you want doesn't consistly fly off the shelf everyday, they don't stock it. This appears to be a profitable business strategy, but there's much less variety in the products on the shelf. I rarely shop at Safeway anymore because they usually don't have the brands I like, if they even carry the product I want. CMC |

Washing soda is sodium carbonate aka soda ash which is often sold in bulk as a pool chemical. I'm not sure if there might be some difference in processing that makes the Arm & Hammer more appropriate for laundry, but that A&H website link says that it's simply 100% sodium carbonate so chemically there should be no difference at least. Just FYI! |
I usually use pH-up AKA sodium carbonate to raise pH in my pool. The product sold for pools is the industrial grade, as is many pool chemicals, whereas the A&H product is more refined to make it a #1/consumer grade product. |
Try calling the store before you go. I have 2 grocery stores about four miles apart near my house. They are the same chain but one carries the washing soda and one doesn't. I don't know why, but if you call around you might find it. |

Call this phone number 1-800-524-1328 and have the UPC code 33200-03020. The service will ask for your zip code and then tell you places in your area that sell the item. I believe this service will locate most items if you have the UPC code number. My area said the Kroger store. |
- Posted by wilderness1989 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 25, 08 at 13:25
They had it a Kroger $2.25 for a large box compared to about $10 with shipping on the net. |
I remember Bluing, a deep blue liquid you would add to the rinse water. It made whites literally "glow". Maybe radioactivity? I haven't seen it in stores in 10 years, maybe longer. |
- Posted by pecanfudge (My Page) on Tue, Feb 26, 08 at 12:49
The company that made Red Devil lye stop making it. However, there are other brands of lye available. My father found lye at Ace Hardware. |
Smith's in Las Vegas has it for $2.49 for a 3 lb box. I don't know if you have Smith's in Phoenix, or another Kroger family store. Albertsons will order items they do not have in the store for you. You could try that. |
I use Bluing all the time. It is a lot easier on your whites than bleach. They still make it. Mrs Wrights brand. I have no problem finding A&H washing soda in the grocery store. |
I found A&H Washing Soda at the Acme (after striking out at Walmart, ShopRite, and the local hardware store). It was with the bleach in the laundry aisle. Acme is marketed here (south Jersey) along with SavOn drugstore, and is owned by Alberson's. I use it for my pool, and the washing soda is less than half the cost of the pH Plus the pool places sell. |
If you have any WINCO stores nearby, this is the only store I can still get it from in my area. Hope this helps. |
Lowe's sells lye under the name Roebic Crystal Drain Opener. You can get lye at other stores including WalMart sometimes - look in the plumbing section for crystal drain openers and make sure the only ingredient is 100% sodium hydroxide. You can also buy it online but in quantities larger than 2# you will be assessed a HazMat shipping fee. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Roebic Crystal Drain Opener
ebay...great source |
So what is so great about the washing soda? I've never used it. Is it as good as STPP? |
Washing soda is sodium carbonate. It's used as a cheaper filler in different things. Works as a part of homemade laundry detergents. The cheaper Oxi cleaners use it mixed with the sodium percarbonate to make it cheaper. It has its uses and is different than STPP (Sodium TriPolyPhosphate). If you have powdered laundry detergent, odds are that it contains washing soda. So it's just another option out there. |
The information posted by John above is the best way to find it. The manufacturer will tell you who has sold it in the last 90 days. Stores in my (urban) area that used to carry it have slowly stopped. Shelf space goes to products with the highest net margins and washing soda doesn't seem to pull it's weight around here. I understand things are different in rural areas or in neighborhoods with older demographics who grew up with WS or at least know what it is. |

I called the number John gave above (800-524-1328) and spoke to a Church & Dwight agent who was able to tell me that Kroger in North Texas carries washing soda and Homeland in Oklahoma. I live over 50 miles from either of those stores so the agent told me that the company has a product club where you can have the item shipped to you in regular intervals (weekly to every 6 months), no club fees, you pay product cost of $3.99/box (can order 1-100 boxes per order), $2.50 handling (no shipping cost), and tax (for 4 boxes I paid $1.50 tax). The total for my order of 4 boxes was $19.96. You can also call and change the amount or frequency at any time and cancel the club subscription with no penalty. |

I also called the #. Very helpful... they gave me all of the stores that sell it near me and their phone #s to check if it is stock. The company will also waive the $6 shipping charge if you buy 3 or more boxes at $3.99 a piece. Also, in case anyone else is wondering I asked about their seemingly random message that instructs you to hang up if you are having a medical emergency. Turns out some people, when ingesting products that they are not supposed to, will call the company # on the box before an ambulance :) |
Ace Hardware sells washing soda. I don't think they regularly carry it in their store so you probably have to buy it online and have it shipped to the store for pickup. It is $3.79/box. The link takes you directly to the Ace's washing soda page. |

I just called the Church & Dwight phone # above and spoke to a very nice lady and ordered 3 boxes of washing soda. She said it had been pulled from most stores because it was such competition for laundry detergents, which made me want to try it all the more. No store in my area carries it any longer. If you call, you may have to wait for several minutes as I did, however, it takes only a few minutes to order after connecting with them. They waive shipping fees of $6.00+ for 2 or more boxes and the cost is now $4.50 per box. |

"Doomed couple" Jordan Graham and Cody Johnson cover the latest issue of People magazine and it's apparent that something awful went down between these two. You're not alone if these names don't sound familiar, but she married him only to realize that she didn't want to be married at all. It was then that she allegedly pushed this poor guy off of a cliff.
We're sure the details are more grizzly than that, but that is basically what it all boils down to be. It's a sad story, of which the details may never be fully realized. Jordan says that he fell, while the cops aren't buying her side of that story.
It's only a matter of time before the truth comes out. Was she tired of marriage just eight days after saying "I do"? Time will be the telling factor here, but one thing is for sure, this is some craziness here.
