text: Exalted - Grei's BackstoryThe thunder of hooves and battlecries filled the night when not even an hour earlier there had been silence. The combatants clashed, organized melee abandoned for frenzied brawling within moments. Impossible to tell who was on either side, all members of the same clan dealing death, eager just to kill. Scarce able to believe the insanity he was witnessing, a brightly-shining figure spurred his horse, charging amongst the fighters and shouting, "To me! To me and retreat!" Though there was a sword at his hip, he stayed his hand until he'd seen people respond to his cry. Those were loyal, and those he defended.An answering cry rose, a maddened scream over the chaos, "Kill the anathema!" Grei looked up to see Ildos encouraging the mob on, his eyes wild. The people obeyed, pursuing the ones who ran to Grei's side and attacking them with ferocity. He met their charge, cutting them off from his fleeing men, pushing them back.Grimly, his eyes fixed on the other man's exultant face. "Ildos!"

Wwe Action Figures
WWE action figures seems like a logical merchandising decision since kids love to have small figures of their wrestling heroes to beat on. Down through the years, there have been WWE action figures that have been cherished and collected by people of all ages. Check out some of the more popular WWE action figures, and old school WWF action figures, to see if you recognize any of the wrestlers' names, or see your WWE action figures listed.
- Hulk Hogan. The Hulk Hogan action figure was the first WWE action figure to be a top selling toy. Back then it was called the WWF, and the doll was released in 1984 to promote the upcoming Hulk Hogan Saturday morning cartoon. You could not move any of the limbs on this WWE action figure, but it was one of those action figures that everyone had to have.
- "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper was one of those wrestlers that kept bouncing back and forth between being a good guy and a bad guy. In the 1980s, when wrestling really took off, Piper was one of the main attractions. His 1984 WWE action figure came complete with a removable kilt. The Piper action figure had significantly more muscles than the actual wrestler, but no one seemed to really care.
- Andre The Giant. An iconic wrestler needs to have an iconic WWE action figure. The Andre the Giant figure came out with the first run in 1984, and became an instant success. Andre the Giant captured the imagination of children and adults all over the world with his size and strength. It seemed weird to boil the Giant down to an action figure, but it still sold well.
- The Undertaker. Throughout the years, from the 1990s onward, The Undertaker has seen his character change several times. But his popular WWE action figure will always be of the devious funeral director in the wide-brimmed hat and long coat. The Undertaker's action figure has been a top selling item since it was first released.
- Kane. Few WWE wrestlers have had their character go through as many recognizeable changes as Kane. The character of Kane first appeared as a masked super hero, and then was unmasked to be a hideous creature. The Kane WWE action figures offer many of the different looks of the popular character, and Kane is one of the few wrestlers to have several different versions of his action figure selling at the same time.

Facebook confirms rumors, acquires Face.com
Today Facebook officially announced that it has sealed the deal for acquiring the face-recognition software company Face.com for an undisclosed sum. A move that's hardly surprising as we've been hearing about it for a while now.
The deal is expected to go through in the coming weeks. There's no telling what Facebook's plans about Face.com are, but the company's services are already widely used around the world's largest social network. Read more »

Joel Grey has been many things in his life: an unforgettable MC in "Cabaret," an evil reptilian demon on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," a dying scientist on "House," and a doctor on "Private Practice."
But all while giving us these characters, he was keeping a part of himself secret. Now, at 82, the Jewish actor has decided to come out. I don't like labels," Grey told People in a recent interview, "but if you have to put a label on it, I'm a gay man."
Grey was married for 24 years to actress Jo Wilder, with whom he has two children: James, a chef, and "Dirty Dancing" actress Jennifer Grey. Family and friends, he says, have known about his sexual orientation for years, but this is the first time he has ever spoken about it publicly.
"All the people close to me have known for years who I am," Grey told People "[Yet] it took time to embrace that other part of who I always was."
The rumors are true! The teaser for Netflix's "Wet Hot American Summer" reboot is finally here.
The eight-part series based on the Jewiest camp movie ever made will take place on the first day of camp during the summer of 1981. Fans of the the original (and if you're not, just stop reading) will know that it took place on the last day of camp, that very same summer.
So, basically Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, Elizabeth Banks, Janeane Garofalo, Christopher Meloni, David Hyde Pierce, and Bradley Cooper need to play younger versions of their 2001 selves. Good thing regular people things like aging don't exist in Hollywood.
If the teaser is to be trusted, the show will be released in early summer. Just in time for camp.
Here's a little something to get you in the mood:
"Not only have I seen the film but I am in the film!" said Menachem Rosensaft following the [January 15] pre-screening of HBO's Concentration Camp Liberation documentary "Night Will Fall" held at the Museum of Jewish Heritage — A Living Memorial to the Holocaust which debuted on HBO on January 26 with an encore on January 27.
World Jewish Congress Counsel Rosensaft — who told me he was born on May 1, 1948 "in the Bergen Belsen Displaced Persons Camp"— said "I think this is one of the most important film documentaries about the realities of the liberation and the political aftermath of liberation, when politics turned very quickly from wanting to highlight atrocities that had been committed at Bergen Belsen and elsewhere to a policy of 'letting bygones be bygones' — considering the survivors and their plight as a political inconvenience."
Welcoming the preview guests, museum chairman Bruce Ratner informed "I am honored that, once we expressed our strong desire to screen the film, HBO decided that the museum was the perfect setting to present the New York City premiere". Guests included — coincidentally named [no relation] — the film's producer Brett Ratner; its film director Andre Singer, its co-producer Sally Angel, HBO Documentary Films president Sheila Nevins, Consul General of Israel Ido Aharoni, Israel's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ron Prosor, Raye Farr U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum interview subject, Dr. Ruth Westheimer a Museum of Jewish Heritage trustee and its director David Marwell.
January 27, 2015 marks the 70 year anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and International Holocaust Remembrance day. With many of the survivors getting older, for some this may be the last year to commemorate the horrors and loss. Here are some moving pictures of the commemorations from around the world:

If you're on the East Coast right now, there's a pretty good chance that you're hunkered down with a fridge full of food and a couple of extra blankets. So, what better time to catch up on all those shows and movies you've been meaning to see?

It may come as a surprise that Natalie Portman, face of Miss Dior, has never actually attended a Dior show.
And yet, sitting in the front row at yesterday's Haute Couture show held at the Musee Rodin in Paris, she reportedly gushed: "I've never been to a couture show," she said. "This is my first time. I'm super, super excited."
But as The New York Times points out, Portman's attendance is actually somewhat significant. In 2011, when John Galliano – then Dior's creative director – made his infamous anti-Semitic rant in a Paris cafe, the actress was one of the first to condemn him.
"In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way," the face of the fashion house's Miss Cherie Dior wrote at the time. "I hope at the very least, these terrible comments remind us to reflect and act upon combating these still-existing prejudices that are the opposite of all that is beautiful."
Galliano's replacement, Raf Simons, has apparently been working hard to redeem the brand. Natalie is still under contract.
The Oscar-winner celebrated her big day dressed head to toe in black Dior (natch), but her best accessory was hubby and new director of the Paris Opera Ballet, Benjamin Millepied.
(Reuters) — Hollywood director Steven Spielberg said on Monday he hoped that the Holocaust commemorations taking place in Poland on Tuesday will be a warning for future generations, in light of a rising tide of anti-Semitism and intolerance against Jews.
Spielberg was talking to Holocaust survivors in the southern Polish city of Krakow, ahead of the main event marking 70 years since Soviet troops liberated the Nazi German Auschwitz death camp.
"If you are a Jew today, in fact if you are any person who believes in the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom in free expression, you know that like many other groups, we are once again facing the perennial demons of intolerance," the Oscar-winning filmmaker said.
The director won an Academy Award for Best Director for "Schindler's List," his 1993 movie about a German who saved more than a thousand mostly Polish-Jewish refugees during the Holocaust, warned of spreading anti-Semitism.

Most Jewish boys just call their moms. Josh Seftel turned his chats into a web series.
Every week, the New York filmmaker Facetimes his mom in Sarasota, Florida. After covering the basics, the conversation always segways into to Pat's favorite subject: celebrity gossip. Over the past year, they've tackled some of the great questions of our time: Is it morally kosher to eat Paula Deen's fried chicken? Is Denzel Washington aging well? Will Lena Dunham's tattoos prevent her from getting a Jewish burial?
This week was no exception: the shocking(?) revelation that 11 of the 12 balls used during the New England Patriots' win against the Indianapolis Colts were under-inflated by 2 pounds — leading to the inevitable "Tom Brady's deflated balls" jokes — just screamed for a Jewish mother's perspective.
Watch Pat Seftel weigh in on the Patriots, deflate-gate and why she would definitely date Tom Brady:
After a screening of "The Muses of Isaac Bashevis Singer," I replied to a chutzpedik questioner: "Isaac never hit on me!" A frequent visitor in the 1930s to my parents' Leszno 6 one-room home in Warsaw when I was toddler, I reconnected with him in New York in the 1960s when he and my father were both Forverts contributors.
In 1973, when the Jewish studies Department of Queens College offered "The Novels of I .B. Singer With The Author Present," I was in that SRO classroom. We read a novel a week. In an attempt to impress Singer, students parsed his characters through Freudian/Jungian filters. Sitting in a chair, facing the awe struck class, Singer shrugged: "I create a karakter un der karakter does vat der karakter vants." Apropos his heroes' romantic appetites and roamings, he said: "A man can have as many liaisons [and illegitimate] children as he wants–but not so a woman!"
After his Nobel Prize for Literature brouhaha in 1978, I told his wife Alma — who spoke no Yiddish who with Singer had been dinner guests at our home–that she, too, deserved a moment in the spotlight. Isaac was out when we schmoozed at their 86th Street apartment where her daughter Inga, from her first marriage, served me babka.

"How do you feel about all the women who come onto him?" I ventured. "Thank God, now it's mostly platonic," she replied. The conversation covered stories that would have been grist for a Yiddish"Page 6." Alma spoke of her supporting Singer after she left her first husband and two children for the skinny poor Yiddish writer. "Does he take your advice?" I asked. "And how!" "Do you act as his buffer?" Alma sighed: "He does not let me through, but I feel he absolutely overdoes it with interviews."
Miss Israel Doron Matalon, who took a controversial selfie with fellow 2015 Miss Universe contestant Saly Greige of Lebanon, has responded to the controversy by saying that she hopes something good will come of it.
"You know, I really want to make a difference," responded Matalon to a question from a Hollywood Access TV reporter about how she handled the situation. "I want people to talk about it… I'm just happy that I'm here, and I'm sure [Miss Lebanon] is happy here… to be together in this situation, a once-in-a-lifetime [opportunity]."
The reporter, for one, thought Miss Israel's reaction to the controversy - which even garnered Jon Stewart's satirical award for 'most upsetting Mideast picture' - was "handled beautifully."
What's better than winning $1,000? Winning $1,000 while smelling bacon.
At least, that's what New Hampshire wants you to think.
According to The New York Post, the state lottery has launched a special "scratch and sniff 'I Heart Bacon' ticket" this month.
Players "will think it's time for Saturday morning breakfast," Lottery Commission Executive Director Charlie McIntyre told the Post.
So basically, not only does New Hampshire want you to smell bacon — they want you to smell it on Shabbat?!
That's not the end of it — to promote the product, the New Hampshire Lottery has announced a "bacon truck" that will drive around offering free applewood bacon samples, filling the air with more pork products.
Ok treyf, you win — this time.
It's no secret that Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu don't like each other. Not one little bit.
So leaving aside the political and diplomatic drama of the Israeli Prime Minister's speech to Congress (you know, the one they somehow forgot to mention to the White House), the president will have a few hours of time on his hands some day whenever Bibi finally comes to town.
We're guessing there are so many things Obama would much rather be do than sit for yet another smile-pasted-on photo op with Netanyahu. Here's our six top suggestions.
We've always known that our Barbra is the greatest; so great that we don't even need to use her last name. But did you know that she is literally number one at everything?
This week, Columbia Records sent out a press release announcing that her latest album "Partners," which was released in September, has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales in excess of one million copies. This is her 31st album to reach such sales heights — a number no other woman in recording history has achieved. And there's much elaboration about her top achievements:
"Ms. Streisand is the female artist with the most number one albums in Billboard's history. She is also the best-selling female recording artist in history, with over 72 million albums sold. Ms. Streisand is the only female to make the All-Time Top 10 Best Selling Artists list, an honor which includes fellow duet "Partners" Elvis Presley and Billy Joel. She also has the longest span of number one albums in history; just under 50 years… Partners is her 33rd album to make it into the Top 10 on the US charts. Ms. Streisand is the only female artist to have achieved this milestone, tying her with Frank Sinatra."
Born and raised in New York, my mother, Rani Stevens Goodman, grew up going to the Catskill Mountains every weekend from the time she was still in the womb until her mid-twenties.
For the uninitiated, The Catskills, which include Sullivan, Orange, and Ulster Counties in upstate New York, was once known as The Borscht Belt, the Jewish Alps or the Sour Cream Sierras for its many Jewish-owned hotels and their mostly Jewish clientele.
Though she went up every weekend in the summer, one particular weekend in 1970 coincidentally involved a Singles' Weekend at her hotel, The Concord in Kiamesha Lake, New York. Ever the shutter-bug, she snapped photographs at the hotel pool. Here's what she had to say about them:
What's happening in these pictures?
These were taken during a singles' weekend at the Concord Hotel in Sullivan County, New York. Kiamesha Lake, actually. I wasn't there for the singles' weekend; I went up every weekend after work on Friday afternoons. Being that I was always together with my trusty camera, and noting the quantity of people in the pool, I decided to get closer.
Rani Stevens Goodman
What did you do when you found out it was a singles' weekend?
I hid [laughs]. When I got to the pool I said, 'Where are all these people coming from? What is going on?' Someone said, 'Oh, it's Singles' Weekend!' I said, 'Oh, God help me.' I was on my usual lounge chair; I had it every weekend because I enjoyed the sun and relaxing and reading.That weekend I was — how would you say — approached more often than usual. [laughs]. They wanted to know where I was sitting, at what table, could they join me for dinner, etc Actually, there was one young fellow working there who was better looking than all of them. The others were a little bit…older than I was. They were obviously there because they needed to be!

The internet fairly exploded over Michelle Obama's smokin' outfit at last night's State of the Union address. FLOTUS wore a grey blazer/skirt combo by Jewish designer Michael Kors (his mother was model Joan Kors), repping American fashion and the Tribe in one fell swoop.
Fans of the outfit couldn't help but notice that Julianna Margulies' (another MOT) character had worn the exact same oufit on "The Good Wife." Obama/Florrick 2016, anyone?

When Eleanor Reissa — performer, director and co-organizer of the January 11th Tribute to Yiddish theater diva Mina Bern — asked me to participate in "A Celebration of Her Life On Her 5th Yahrzeit" at The Center for Jewish History, I was thrilled. Mina, whose over-the top performances I had reviewed for decades, was the closest I had to a mume (aunt).
Emceed by Kultur Kongres/Congress of Jewish Culture executive director Shane Baker— the event's driving force — it was an upbeat, heartwarming, laughter-eliciting event with performers — many of whom credited Mina's chicken soup as a panacea which solved whatever ailed you — that included Reissa, Shira Flam, Lori Wilner, Joanne Borts,(who just completed her stint with Broadway hit "Once"), Steve Sterner, Yelena Shmulenson, Robert Abelson,and Allen Lewis Rickman dapper in the bespoke brown tweed suit fashioned by master tailor and Holocaust survivor Martin Greenfield for his character in HBO's "Boardwalk Empire."
As an exemplar of Mina's mind-over-body divaship, I cited the December 2007 Folksbiene Gala at which Mina began to complain: "ikh feel zikh nit gut" (I don't feel well. I must go home!). An inspired Folksbiene Board chairman Jeff Wiesenfeld mounted the stage and announced: "We are honored to have the grand lady of Yiddish theater Mina Bern in the audience!" A miraculously revived Mina stood up with arms raised overhead and bowed to the four corners of the room luxuriating in the adulation. She stayed to the end.
During an interview with Mina, in 1988, she revealed little-known chapters of her survival saga. After Poland, Russia, and Teheran in 1942 — during the General Anders Polish Government in Exile Amnesty she said "they sent me to Nairobi, Uganda to the Buenoro forest to create a colony — grobn di erd (dig up the earth) grow things for the English, Polish and Ugandan people… We were twenty people in a little straw hut, I — -a young woman with an infant in a vilder velt (wild world). Every night the natives would burn the huts and we were left without a stroyanem dakh ibern kop (a straw roof over our heads). My little baby Renia would scream and have nightmares! One day the Polish consul from Nairobi came and chose my [theatre] group to perform, to represent Polish kunst (art) to British government officials. We went by train and along the route were met by Jewish women at the stations who would give us food and drink. A refugee woman like m gave me a job at a ladies store. I spoke no English but knew some Swahili."
After Nairobi she went to British Mandate Palestine where "I helped create a Yiddish theater. I stayed for four years and became a star. They called me Carmen Miranda. During the 1948 war I served in the army… used to go by jeep to all the mishlatim to sing for the soldiers. I came to one place where a young soldier asked me to sing "Mayn Yiddishe Mame" — the next morning he was killed."
In her final year Mina would call me weekly and leave me farklempt with her plea "Mashinke, when are you coming to see me? I love you." I taped those calls — but have yet to replay them.
The event was co-sponsored by the American Jewish Historical Society, which cheerfully provided the space.

(Reuters) — An Israeli man was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of hacking Madonna's computer and selling the pop icon's songs online, a private investigator involved in the case said.
Israeli police confirmed they had detained a man suspected of stealing the work of a number of international stars, but declined to name any of the possible victims.
In December, unfinished tracks were leaked from Madonna's "Rebel Heart" album before its release, an act the singer described as "artistic rape" in a post, later deleted, from her Instagram account.
Asher Wizman, owner of the Wizman-Yaar investigation firm in Israel, said Madonna's team contacted his company several weeks ago to look into the matter after rumors of an Israeli connection to the leak.
Miss Israel, Doron Matalon, made headlines this week after allegedly photobombing a selfie Miss Lebanon was taking with Miss Slovenia and Miss Japan and posting it on her own Instagram feed. In doing so, she may have tapped into a new peace-brokering technique. So, what if she did it to others?
To test the theory, we imagined Doron into other situations in dire need of her conflict resolution skills.
Once again, Jon Stewart showed us that he can take on anything, even the Miss Universe pageant, in a hilarious segment called "War of the Poses".
The late-night comic opened his second segment in the show by talking about the other images that have been shaking the world. The images of Muhammad that caused the terrible events in France. The image of the march which upset some: "An ultra-orthodox newspaper "as God commanded" used photoshop to rid the event of women."
Which brings Stewart to the segment, which he also dubs "What's Upsetting the Middle East This Week?"
"Is it an Isis beheading?" Jon proposes, "Ayatollah on the toilet? Ankle porn? What?"

Today's recipe is easy to make. Cook some chopped onion and red pepper in a little vegetable broth until tender; add black beans and continue heating until beans are warmed through. Turn off heat and season with basil, oregano, chili pepper and parsley. Wash a butterhead lettuce under cold water and separate leaves. Set two(2) leaves together and place a spoonful of the bean mixture in the center; roll the leaves and beans into a burrito; folding sides as you roll. Arrange on a plate dressed with fresh strawberries and asparagus spears topped with almonds. Yum!
If you want a cold salad without the lettuce, just mix in bowtie pasta in place of the butterhead lettuce and chill.

"Otherworldly" is an overused term, applied frequently to historic museums and ethnic restaurants. But a stop at Cosanti — architect Paolo Soleri's Paradise Valley laboratory — does actually feel like another world.

Thousands of sculpted bells and wind chimes dangle from the ceilings, shading walkways that dart between sunny atriums of sand-molded concrete. "This is called an apse," education director Roger Tomalty says of the clamshell studio where ceramic bells are cast. "It was molded in pieces, which interlock. It's an ancient technique, used by the Estruscans."
Cosanti fuses the ancient and the progressive so well, the site was considered by "Star Wars" location scouts for Luke Skywalker's home planet, Tatooine. "They came out here, and really liked the place," Tomalty recalls. "But developments were already going up to the south, and I think that would have interfered with their shots."
Cosanti is the real-life home and original studio of Paolo Soleri, a cutting-edge architect and former student of Frank Lloyd Wright who reconceived urban living. "His concept was the opposite of urban sprawl — which is a cancer to city planning," Tomalty explains.
In 1970, more than a generation before "green building," Soleri unveiled Arcosanti, an urban community concept that banished the car, drew inhabitants together in cleverly designed living and social centers, and freed the surrounding land for eco-friendly use. "It is interesting to see ideas he espoused back then coming back into favor now," Tomalty says.
Arcosanti has become the 89-year-old architect's Mount Rushmore. Work on it proceeds up in Cordes Junction, funded in part by Cosanti's harvest of bells.
"We pour the bells in the morning, in a series of two 'heats,' " Tomalty explains. The painstaking process — liquefying bronze, pounding molds out of foundry sand, then pouring the molten brew into them — makes good theater.
"People like to watch our apprentices pour, and ask questions," he says. The molds are taken from original Soleri designs. Apprentices score them with their own repertoire of totems and insignias to give each one an individual flair. "And (Soleri) still creates his own new designs, as well."
The end result is tethered into the chime-and-bell ensembles that swing like lazy vines from the curving ceilings of Soleri's exotic redoubt. "Some people buy bells for the look," Tomalty says. "Some buy them for the sound — you can always tell that group, because they're here tapping bells for hours."
Cosanti is at 6433 E. Doubletree Ranch Road. It's open seven days a week, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. For more information on Cosanti, call (480) 948-6145. For a look at their bells, visit www.cosanti.com.

We have 3 nights at deluxe room with window (IDR 320000 weekend and IDR 280000 weekdays). The room was clean and spacious, has amenities,coffee and tea maker, free 2 bottles mineral water, AC was good, but the hot water at bathroom didn't works and the bed was uncomfortable.
The location is very good, walking distance to nagoya hill mall and lucky plaza. many boutique beside hotel sell ladies bag.
The breakfast only toast, egg, and coffee or tea, but at the weekend there's additional menu, noodle and porridge.
But overall, this is more than I expected with that roomrate.

Can a curved section with bend be applied to sheet metal part.I make extrusion for easier clarity.I am wanting to place the curved section (extrusion for demonstration purpose) with bend in sheet metal part but all created in the sheet metal environment.
Is this possible?
Use Contour Roll.
I would do the rolled feature first.
I did some searching and came up with the attempt attached.Have i done this correctly?
CAn this part now be flattened?
I do not use sheet metal that often but will make efforts to learn more
I have not attempted your part yet, but after seeing your attempt I wish to revise my earlier statement.
Looks like if this is to work the Contour Roll should be created after the Face.
JD did you attempt to model this please.Would like to see correct solution
OK i have placed the Contour Roll after the face but still does not flatten.What am i doing wrong here?

I am very interested in trying this oil. I'm on a path to making my self healthier. I've had a pinched nerve in my neck and have been unable to exercise. I was cleared by the chiropractor just last night so I am thrilled to start my routine up again. I think this would be the perfect aid to assist me in my new lifestyle!

What do You Think?
Last night I got into a deep conversation with my wife. During the course of the conversation, my wife had an epiphany: I like to hear myself talk. Well, she may be correct. Every week you are all subjected to my blog conversation—but not today. This morning I decided to forgo my planned blog and take a different approach.
I want to hear from you. I am even willing to compensate you all for your participation. Let me explain: I want to know what you think about our new Slique™ Essence essential oil blend. How do you use it? Have you seen great results with it? What else would you like to share? So if you have used this blend, please share your thoughts. If you haven't used Slique Essence, tell us why you want to. Now for the compensation: I will select two random participants—an individual who has used the oil and an individual who hasn't—to receive a free Slique Essence. Comments must be submitted by Thursday to be eligible for the drawing. Good luck!
—Ryan Seely, YL Product Marketing Manager

I just started on the Slique Challenge a couple weeks ago. I haven't seen a change yet, but probably in a couple weeks maybe a month I will.
I drink it all day long in a thermos– and use the slique essense drops also.
Im hoping for results by May 1 st so I can win the big prize in town!!! -
I really lie to use it along with stevia and cinnamon and slique tea, not all together of course, to help curb my hunger and to help me lose weight. Whenever I feel a craving for something sweet I turn to these. They help and they work.
I love all the oils I have purchased so far. Need to loose some weight and would love to try the slique tea. I have the tea and love the taste.
I love it. It is the first complete oil that could pass as a drink. I thought it was too sweet at first but I kind of enjoy the taste now. I have also been putting under my tongue like I found out at information meeting on Slique Kit.
I am a health club owner, often working 12 – 16 hours a day and found it hard at the end of the day to not over eat once I sat down to relax at night. Taking slique tea and slique essence before I leave work, then I have my power meal shake for my last meal of the day. This is working so well and the slique challenge has inspired me to create a 30 day challenge for my club. Thank you Gary for such awsome products. Ultimate Fitness' mission statement is "changing peoples lives" Young Living is making it easier for us to uphold this statement.
Thank you
Lisa Sheridan -
Have tried Slique essence At my hairdressers The taste was great they where all excited about it and she says she has lost wt. with using the oil can't wait till we can order this oil separately so I can have some to share with others.
the slique essense is delicious!! I know the date is over to submit, but I just have to tell you, I have used it for about 3 weeks and love it.. also when I attended the slique seminar in dallas, I was starving to death… I did a drop under my tongue and my cravings and starvation instantly were gone for almost 2 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats all I have to say.. amazing!
I have been using Selique Essence for 2 months now and Love, LOVE, Love, Love it…. Did I say that I really Love it…. I have actually been using the whole Slique Kit and have such great results. I feel great and have little to no cravings. I am so amazed the whole no cravings. And when I do have a craving I have noticed it was a day that life got in the way and I was off my regimen a little. Thank you Gary Young for your passion and dedication. I learned so much from Gary when I saw him in Milville, NY
Our 6th child was born on Thanksgiving of this year. I was in the rut of feeling overweight, lazy etc. that comes each time after having a baby. Right during that time is when the Slique Kit came out! I ordered mine right away. I LOVE adding the Slique Essence into the tea with a little blue agave. I have never been able to drink warm/hot liquids,but with the added oil in there, I have gotten to really like it! So far, it's been I think one month and I have lost 16 pounds!!! I have been on a very healthy diet in addition to the Slique Kit because once I saw the pounds coming off so easily, it got me enthused to eat better, exersize when I can(although that has been very limited because I'm so busy taking care of our 6 kids). I am THRILLED every day to step on the scale and see the numbers keep going down!!!
Hello from Canada. I have just recently been introduced to the beauty of the Essential Oils in January of this year. I am a cancer survivor and the past year or so, I have been on a journey to regain my health back. I also enjoy helping others who come across my path in life. I truly believe these oils are God's gift and am looking forward to the day when I can be a walking testimony to my family, friends and co-workers. Everything I have tried to date, I am 100% pleased with the product. However, I have yet to try the Slique kit due to the price. It is on my wish list. I am confident it is another 100% type product. I extend my blessings to you Mr. Young for all that you have done and are doing for the benefit of others.
Kind regards,
Debbie -
I've heard about it, but being unable of getting the oil over here I cannot try it for myself! I shall have to wait until it's our turn in Europe!!
Love from Austria
I started using the Slique Tea in December and I love it. I started taking a cup of slique tea in the afternoon insteaded of drinking a soda pop. I have noticed that my sugar cravings have significantly decreased. I would like to try the Slique oil but have not ordered the whole kit yet. I would like to order the oil seperately as I take the ningxia red and am currently doing 20 drops of grapefruit oil before bedtime and rubbing citrus fresh/ledum on my body. I also drink a cup of tea every other night before bed. I noticed with the Slique tea it is very good warm or iced. Some tips you can add a drop of lemon, orange or grapefruit. If you want to spice it up an extra drop of ocotea. Since December I have lost 23lbs and 2 pant sizes. I believe the tea has helped with those appetite cravings so I am excited to try the Slique Essence. I have many customers, team members and tea drinkers that are excited too we all just wish the Slique Essence could be purchased individually. Or maybe a Slique Tea – Slique Essence Oil Combination Pack could be in the making?? Thanks
I'm new to YL oils, and am loving the oils I have used so far! There are so many products I want to try, but have to do it as cost allows. Slique essential oils is on my list and can't wait to try it!
My wife just came through Thyroid Caner a year ago, and has struggled with her weigh until Young Living and using the oils, the Slique Tea and totally changing her diet!! She is committed to wellness and helping people overcome health issues!!! She would so benefit from using Slique Essence!!! Please chose her, as she is becoming a walking testimony to the power of God's natural medicine through Young Living! She has said before year end, she will go GOLD!!! Lets increase her testimonies with Slique Essence!
I have not yet tried the Slique Essence blend but it sounds Awesome !!!
I would love to try the whole kit but have been waiting for young living Australia to get it.
I would really love to try it because it sound like it could help me lose the weight I need.
Very exited to see if can help me. -
I love the new Slique Essence essential oil blend. I put it in my water all day as I drink it and I love to put a few drops in a cup of hot water with Slique tea or green tea It's delicious and satisfying. I seem to use it faster than the other items in the Slique kit (except for the Essentialzymes-4) and would love to be able to purchase the Slique Essence oil blend on its own.
I just got the kit, and am already using it. I really like the Slique essence oil, the spermint has a very refreshing taste. I add it to the tea or water for a refreshing drink. I even used 2 drops in Ninxia Red. It tastes great! I also use Alkalime in the morning and Thyromin before retiring. After only 2 days of use, I already see results, as I lost 2 lbs. In order to share with my group I have to try it first. I believe the kit was put together to ensure that it works the way it was intended. If you don't try it first, how are you going to share the kit with others? Thank you Gary D. Young for another wonderful product!
I've not, yet, tried Slique essential oil and do wish it were available for purchase, separate from the kit. I love the Slique tea, but feel the oil might be most beneficial to me for my intense sweet tooth. Once I do get my hands on some, I expect miracles to happen. I don't want to promote it just by talking about it, I want others to see what it is doing for me and ask me how I am losing weight. I want to be the proof!
I just joined YL two days ago, so I haven't tried Slique oil yet, but I am very interested in it. So far I have really enjoyed all of the YL products that I have tried, and I can't wait to start sharing my new knowledge!
I have been a YL member for over a year now and the products are truly amazing. I have some health issues and have recently gained some weight without changing my diet. I would love to be able to try the siliqua oil in addition watching my calories and exercise and see if this helps with carb and sugar cravings. The YL products basically sell themselves and this would just be one more way for me to tell all my friends and family about YL great products first hand.
I am new to YLEO and have not had an opportunity to try any of the Slique products, but I like what I have read about them. As a diabetic, it is very important that my blood sugar remains controlled. I would love to try the Slique Essence Blend to help me regain control of my sugar cravings and maintain a low hemoglobin a1c. I hope that it will be available to purchase separately soon. To win a gift bottle would be wonderful!
I would LOVE to be able to try it but it is not available outside the Slique Kit? Praying it will be so myself and many others can give it a try. I know I'll love it, it's Young Living I love the tea and look forward to trying the oil.
I am very excited about getting a chance to taste and use the Slique Essence oil blend! Just thinking of all the single oils that make up this blend makes me KNOW it would be fantastic tasting and healthy! Please send it my way:)
I would like to experience Slique Essence to curb cravings. I know the best testimonials are the ones you can personally give. I appreciate opportunities to inspire others to experience using Young Living oils.
I'm curious about Slique Essential oil because at age 31, my metabolism has slowed drastically — and I wonder if it would help me. I'm currently a size 6, which is fine…but it's quickly risen from a size 2. I've been 185 lbs before & that weight was easy to get off compared to this small amount I'd like to release now! I currently use several supplements-supercal, multigreens, sulfurzyme, omega blue & ningxia red, and have all but probably 10 of the oils. I am happy, healthy, and active in my job as an LMBT and as a mother & wife. I love the oils, but slique sounds too good to be true Is it?
I have tried the tea two months in a row and love the way it tastes. I am normally an herb tea kind of girl, and am thankful for this beautiful reintroduction to the world of black teas. I have not yet tried the Slique Essence oil, but would like to. I am about 15 pounds above what I would like to weigh but can still pull it off with good fitting clothes. I'd love to be a hot testimony

Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2012
>> After last night's thought-provoking, Dickensian foray, it's only fair that today Marc Jacobs would give us something a bit more straightforward for his secondary line.
And he did. For Fall 2012, the designer focused on two of his more classic references — grunge and military — and worked them into laid-back schoolgirl silhouettes. Pleated skirts, velvet baby dolls, prim blouses, and jumpsuits were done in checks, plaids, and bronze lamé. For a hint of quirk, there were cat-eyed glasses, combat boots, and drum-major hats to finish each look.

Governor signs Barwick-Ruschak Act
New law protects victims of dating violence
Published: Wednesday, July 2, 2008 at 4:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 2, 2008 at 4:58 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE - Nearly 10 months after their children were murdered, the parents of Tiffany Barwick and Michael Ruschak struggled with conflicting emotions Wednesday standing next to Gov. Charlie Crist as he signed a bill named in their memories.
The Barwick-Ruschak Act extends laws protecting victims of domestic violence and threats to dating relationships.
Andrew Allred, an ex-boyfriend of Barwicks, shot and killed the two University of Central Florida students at a home in Oviedo in September after local law enforcement officers told Barwick they could not arrest Allred on the sole basis of threats.
Allred has pleaded guilty to the murders. His sentencing is expected this summer. He could face the death penalty.
Its kind of bittersweet, Tiffany's mother, Kim Barwick, said Wednesday. We hope that it will have an impact, to not let this happen to other families.
Her daughter was a 19-year-old graduate of West Port High School.
Barwicks father, Tony, fought back tears as he thanked lawmakers for the new law.
Ruschak's mother, Janice Ruschak of Oviedo, said the new law fulfills a promise his family made after his slaying.
When we buried Michael, we told him we would find something good to come from this, she said.
Crist signed the bill in a public ceremony on the steps of the Old Capitol. Dozens of law enforcement officers, stone-faced in full uniform, surrounded Crist and the families.
Crist also signed 11 other bills Wednesday morning relating to law enforcement, including new laws to provide paid leave for victims of sexual assault, an expansion of cases where judges must issue no contact orders to protect victims of crimes, and stiffer penalties for assault on officers.
Before gunning down Barwick and Ruschak, Allred had made numerous threats, which were reported to authorities. He also had tampered with Barwicks online website and bank account. Barwick asked the Seminole County Sheriffs Office to arrest Allred, but deputies said they could not legally arrest him without evidence of a specific threat that could lead to a felony charge.
Days later, Allred shot and killed the two before being arrested shortly afterward.
The new law will give law officers more latitude when handing cases of dating violence. For example, it enables law enforcement to make a warrantless arrest when there is probable cause to believe a person has committed an act of dating violence.
The legislation was passed unanimously by the House and Senate earlier this year in an unusually quick reaction by lawmakers.
Rep. Kurt Kelly, R-Ocala, was the bills sponsor in the House. It was the freshman lawmakers first major legislation and it evoked strong emotions.
There was a lot of tears from my staff and on my part, he said. Some people say youre not supposed to get emotional about legislation. I dont believe that. It was very passionate for us.
Sen. Charles Dean, R-Inverness, the former sheriff of Citrus County, sponsored the bill in the Senate.
The passage of the bill does not mean the end of the battle for the families: Kelly said he has been contacted by lawmakers in other states about using Floridas new law as a model.
We plan on continuing, said Kim Barwick. Well be able to look into other states and make sure they have these kinds of bills in place to not only protect the men and women of the state of Florida, but also take this on a national level.
Chuck Ruschak, Michaels father, said the tragedy spoke to the random nature of crime, but also the compassion of others.
You never know whats going to happen. It could happen anywhere, he said. But people do care.

Great transformations. Would be even better to see the characters in games or videos.

UCATT Midlands Region in national day of action against umbrella companies
UCATT Midlands Region activists and organisers demonstrated outside the Pebble Mill development in Birmingham on Wednesday 26th November as part of a national day of action in protest at construction workers being forced to work via umbrella companies. Being paid through an umbrella company is costing workers up to £100 a week.
(See photographs of the demonstrations around the country at http://www.ucatt.org.uk/umbrella-company-day-action)
UCATT activist is Highly Commended at TUC Organising Awards Event
UCATT shop steward Jason McInerney was highly commended for his organising activities by the TUC at an awards ceremony at Aston Villa Football Club in Birmingham on 28 November.
UCATT Midlands Regional Organiser Sharon Harding nominated Jason after he led a successful recognition campaign at the Wolverhampton-based social housing provider Bromford Housing Group shortly after he was elected as a UCATT shop steward. Due to his hard work the union doubled the size of its membership at the organisation and gained recognition.

TUC Assistant General Secretary visits Nottingham Tram Project with UCATT
In November, TUC Assistant General Secretary Assistant Paul Novak paid a visit to the Nottingham Tram Project in order learn more about successful joint working between the main contractors, Taylor Woodrow (part of VINCI) and Alstom, and UCATT – including an agreement to protect workers from pay roll fees. Although the project has over-run, the project is nearing completion (June 2015) and employed and trained over 1,500 operatives at its peak.
Working with the contractors and Labour councillors in Nottingham City Council, the main client, UCATT was able to secure the following:
Agreement for pay roll fees (+£20 per week) not to be deducted from workers' pay;
Involvement in daily site inductions to the workforce;
Unrestricted access to site canteens and members; and
Regular meetings with HR and management set up to resolve members' issues.
"The pay roll fees agreement on the tram project is welcomed and is something UCATT and the TUC believe should be rolled out across other projects, particularly public contracts, where such practices exist," said Midlands Acting Regional Secretary Shaun Lee. "Nevertheless, promoting direct employment, with proper contracts and terms and conditions, is something that should always be facilitated first, equipping projects with reliable and experienced workers."

UCATT and TUC join forces during Young Workers' Month in Chesterfield
Some 25 young people including apprentices and students joined UCATT and the TUC at a joint event at Chesterfield College on 7 November, organised as part of Young Workers' Month. Events ran throughout the month, highlighting issues that young workers face and promoting union membership to young people.
UCATT Midlands Acting Regional Secretary Shaun Lee and UCATT National Youth & Apprentices Organiser Keir Morrison took part in the event alongside Midlands TUC Regional Secretary Lee Barron, the Labour MP for Derby North, Chris Williamson, and Chesterfield College NUS President Cathy Taylor.
"We aimed to engage with as many students, learners, trainees and apprentices as possible," said Keir. "The event, which also coincided with Living Wage Week, had three main themes – an apprentice Living Wage rate, votes for 16-year olds and zero-hours contracts. It was very successful and we recruited several new young members."

UCATT Midlands Region confirms its "target seat" strategy
UCATT's Midlands Regional Council has selected Erewash in the East Midlands and Cannock Chase in the West Midlands as its target seats in the forthcoming general election.
The union will be supporting Labour's Prospective Parliamentary Candidates (PPCs) Catherine Atkinson (Erewash) and Janos Toth (Cannock Chase) in their bids to take both these seats from the Conservatives. The Tory MP in Erewash, Jessica Lee, announced that she will step down before the next election and Labour needs a swing of just 2.6% to overturn a 2,501 majority.
In Cannock Chase, Tory MP Aidan Burley is also standing down. Labour needs a swing of 3.5% to overturn a 3,195 majority and win the seat.
If you can help to deliver leaflets or canvass in either of these areas, please contact the Midlands Regional Office on the telephone number above or email email@example.com or email@example.com.

Reinforcing Authenticity within Acclaimed World War II Videogame Franchise
Electronic Arts (Nasdaq: ERTS) and the Jeep ® brand announced today that they have signed a deal that will give gamers a chance to experience Jeep vehicles in Medal of Honor AirborneTM as they were found in World War II. The classic Willys-Overland Jeep will appear for extended, action-packed sequences in several missions of Medal of Honor Airborne.
Medal of Honor Airborne is the newest installment from EA's critically-acclaimed Medal of HonorTM franchise which was credited with pioneering the First-Person Shooter (FPS) WWII genre when it debuted in 1999, and is the best selling WWII FPS franchise of all time. By fully controlling the airdrop from the very first step through landing, Medal of Honor Airborne adds a new dimension of player choice by letting the player decide where every mission begins and how it plays out. Building on the key tenets of the franchise including historical accuracy, research, and authenticity, for the first time Medal of Honor Airborne will include fully player-drivable vehicles, including the Willys Jeep.
Jeep played an integral role in the war effort as an indispensable tool in tracking the enemy, exchanging information and moving troops. Over 350,000 Willys Jeep vehicles were built and used during WWII, and at one point the assembly line was pushing out one vehicle every 90 seconds. When driving a Willys Jeep in Medal of Honor Airborne, the player can choose to use it as a mode of transportation, or as a mobile attack platform taking full advantage of a variety of mounted weapons. Authentic to their use in WWII, the Willys Jeep will be able to access more areas than the other drivable vehicles featured in Medal of Honor Airborne, because of Jeep vehicle's superior four-wheel drive off-road capabilities.
"Video games are quickly becoming the medium of choice for a new generation of consumers and Chrysler Group has been at the forefront of this exciting revolution," said Jay Kuhnie, Director – Jeep Communications, Chrysler Group. "By teaming with Electronic Arts and Medal of Honor Airborne, Jeep is celebrating its history while helping to take this medium to its next level."
"The Medal of Honor Airborne experience begins with unprecedented freedom of approach from the air. With the addition of the Willys Jeep, that freedom continues on the ground, on road and off, and in combat scenarios of all types." explained Patrick Gilmore, VP and Executive Producer at EALA. "This is the first time in any Medal of Honor game that a player will have the ability to drive a Willys Jeep, and we're very excited to see this new addition increase the fun and intensity of the gameplay."
As the first game in the Medal of Honor series to be released on next generation platforms,
Medal of Honor Airborne and is being developed under the EATM brand for the PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment systems, Xbox 360TM videogame system from Microsoft, and Windows PC. Developed by EA Los Angeles (EALA), Medal of Honor Airborne has not yet been rated by the ESRB. For more information on Medal of Honor Airborne and the Medal of Honor franchise, please visit: www.moh.ea.com. Please visit EA's press site at www.info.ea.com for information about all of EA's games.
