2. The Universe / Travel & Transport / Travel Items to Take with You when Visiting Friends Abroad If you're living in a far corner of the planet, a long way from home, no matter where you are, there will be something from home that you miss. Usually it's friends and family, but more often than not it's those little creature comforts that are sadly absent, the ones that mean 'home'. Here you'll find lists of items that you can take when visiting your loved ones abroad. USA The Land of Plenty has much to offer the world, but its expatriate community miss surprisingly few things while living abroad. Below you'll find a short list of what many miss from home.
Interstate Below is a list of items that people may miss when travelling from one state to another.
United Kingdom The British are famous for their creature comforts - tea, biscuits, a nice pair of slippers and sensible underwear among many. Below you'll find items that will bring a tear of joy to any Brit living abroad.
Seasonal Goodies Germany Did you know that some Germans actually miss Hollandaise sauce mix and curry sauce in big squeezy bottles? And that's not all they pine for...
Seasonal Goodies
Russia Russian people are unanimous in that they miss decent black bread when they go abroad. It is stronger than British wholemeal, yet not as strong/dense as German black bread. And the stuff that they sell in supermarkets which calls itself Russian black bread is nothing like the real stuff. Sweden Apparently some Swedes develop a craving for Twinings orange and cinnamon flavoured tea when away from the motherland... The Netherlands ... while the Dutch get all nostalgic over Stroopwafels (caramel waffles to you and me). Korea Among other things, Koreans miss the following two edibles (we're assuming they're eaten independently of each other...)
Denmark Almost all Danish folk miss rugbrø d (rye bread) when they're away from home, but did you know that they also miss...

A number of points in the
Submitted by tetraethyllead on Sun, 11/11/2012 - 23:41. Permalink
A number of points in the post are valid.
The vast majority cannot understand why parental government is a bad thing. They've also been conditioned for generations that theft through government is valid. They are easily manipulated socially and vote their emotions and perceptions.
Educating them, breaking the spell, bringing them into rationality, into ethical consistency, and so on is an uphill battle. Achieving that in one election cycle is unlikely.
Now if RP had won the nomination then 'team R' folks would have had to either hold their nose or stay home. The war mongering crowd would have likely stayed home or voted Obama.

#1 and #2 Ponytail Barbie® Doll #850 in original swimsuit
Made of flesh-toned plastic, the first Barbie® dolls wore a black and white knit swimsuit that was used through 1961. In 1959 the accessories were white sunglasses with blue lenses, black open-toe shoes, and hoop earrings. Characteristics of #1 and #2 dolls were very similar, with one exception — #1 had drilled holes in her feet to fit on her doll stand. #2 did not. Both dolls were available as a blonde and brunette. Facial characteristics included arched brows, black eye paint, colorless pupils, and bright red lips. All dolls had red nail polish on hands and toes.
Production doll may vary from the photo shown above. Mattel reserves the right to modify the fashion/fabrics, sculpt, hair color/style, and accessories. Doll cannot stand alone as shown.

text: Hipster Joins Army To Be Ironic Pte Bloggins March 3, 2013 Army 40 Comments Follow Duffel Blog: FORT JACKSON, SC – Like thousands of recruits that come through the gates of Fort Jackson every year, Private Eugene Burns never envisioned himself one day joining the Army. Indeed the liberal arts college dropout was quite opposed to the idea of serving until a recent turn of events inspired him to enlist. "I was always so opposed to war and killing people," said the new recruit, former war protester, pacifist and retro indie punk rock fan. "I guess I had a change of heart." Some may wonder what sets Burns apart from the thousands of other clean shaven camo clad middle-class recruits that fill Fort Jackson. Drill Sergeant Jason Erickson explained: "As soon as I saw the little shit head I knew exactly what was his problem. Kid's a goddamn hipster! I know Raybans, retro clothes and a condescending attitude when I see it!" While Burns vigorously denies being a hipster, he has managed to retain his signature Raybans despite being stripped of most other personal accoutrements. "They're prescription glasses. I suffer from miopnelenoma. It's an eye condition you've probably never heard of before," he explained with a smug look that grew amid a low groan of contempt from his fellow recruits. When asked why he finally decided to enlist Private Burns sighed and expressed his personal motivations. "My friends and I loved to complain about how sheep-like and subservient joining the Army was. Bombing shitty third world nations and protesting about it seemed so mainstream. I mean we've been doing shit like that since Vietnam." "Then it got me thinking how ironic it would be if I did something conformist like joining the Army and serving the oil hungry corporations we despise so much. The chance was too irresistible to turn down and after I talked with a recruiter holed up in a seedy strip mall, I knew I had to do this." Some might think his inherently snobby and non-conformist attitude might make Burns ill-suited for the Army. Rather it was quite the opposite as his his Drill Sergeant explained: "I didn't think he was going to be able to hack it at first, but somehow we have managed to beat proper hygiene, dress and deportment into his thick skull. You could say he has embraced the inherent lack of individuality and kick in the dick experience that Army life can be. Still doesn't change the fact that the kid is a total fucking asshole." As the first hipster soldier, Burns has many wondering if this indicates the presence of an ironic underground counter-counter-culture. While the emphasis has long been on individuality and obscurity, it has now become the norm for many in the younger generation. The Army with its old school conservative values and rigid conformity has long been viewed with disdain by the hipster community. Yet the military now provides a sanctuary for those looking to buck a now mainstream counter culture. "I joined the Army before it was cool," Private Burns said.

Joshua Rothenberger says: November 11, 2014 at 12:28 AM I joined the navy 5 years ago for the same reason and know others who did the same before me. The counter culture runs half the military now. We all just pretend to to be apart of this fasciest war machine. Kelley Mitchell says: November 11, 2014 at 12:28 AM Smug bastard. Watch him be the SMA 30 years from now. Brandon Smith says: July 3, 2014 at 9:44 PM Chris Carr Brandon Smith says: July 3, 2014 at 9:44 PM Chris Carr Steve Lessner says: April 16, 2014 at 2:39 AM Obama's Army will be like McHale's Navy. But more incompetent. Richard Galli says: April 16, 2014 at 2:39 AM back in 1980 I was the first granola to go in the Army, for all those gnarly powder shots in the Italian Alps [509th Inf] Gerard Black says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM You got that one right, Doc. Fred Zee says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM Damn, that was funny. Tammy S Lynn says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM Raybans are not hipster! I protest. You guys crack me up. Tim Foster says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM Dumbass needd a job… that's the real reason….. Melissa Nunes says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM But can he march while listening to The Black Keys? That's the real question here. Ashely N Schuchhardt says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM Please tell me I'm not the only person who wants to punch this guy in the face. Chase Newland says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM Sometimes when you want too be non-conformist, you just gotta conform! Andy Niemyer says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM Hey, Bob Smith, wasn't this guy at Huachuca with you? Dillon Yost says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM I hate hipsters, but this article was hilarious. I wonder what it would be like to see an actual hipster in service. Ruth Shertzman Bertram says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM "I joined the Army before it was cool,". I know this guy… he's actually in the Air Force though. Paul Daniel Thomas Vigg says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM So…this is a joke right? The whole article? Because if it is, then it's poorly executed, and if it's not…what a world… David Holifield says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM Even though we laugh at this, we all know it to be true. I have had hipsters in my unit before. They get lots of tail. R Alexander Knox says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM I served with gays & neo-Nazis – these guys would torque off both groups! Alan Johnson says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM I was in Vietnam. There were plenty of 'hipsters" in the Army then, both drafted and enlisted. Youth culture in the US was going through a transition and the Army was no different. Still, almost everyone did their job. There were a few "conformists" who couldn't "hack it" either. Eric Neil says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM This is by far the dumbest fucking article I've ever read in regard to the Army. What in the fucking fuck did I just waste 2 minutes of my life on? Robert P. Wills says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM Damn you Duffle Blog- you got me to look up miopnelenoma! Rainbow Di says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM So basically a hipster is a little old Jewish lady. James Davison says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM Funny read and lol@people that think it's real… Josef Hughson says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM I'm a S6, so I basically have a section that is 50% hipster and 50% IT nerd with a Venn Diagram that overlaps showing that 50% are hipsters and IT nerds. <—— BTW Those glasses in my DA Photo are Ray Bans Patrick Jones says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM I was already laughing just reading the headline… Erich Maria de Villiers says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM You forgot to mention how he brought his bicycle with him. Elliott Pippen says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM oh how I WISH that he was the only hipster in the military. Paul Lpl Ludwig says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM Steve Jobs was a hipster and now he's dead. That is your final warning. Mike Sweeney says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM I too can relate. I joined in 69 and was at least a want to be hippie. I told my freinds I was going to beat the 2 year DRAFT by enlisting for 3 years at the age of 17. Talk about ironic, the draft ended before my 3 year enlistment was up, so I stayed in for 30 years. (NOTE: I recieved my draft notice in the middle of that first enlistment… guess I beat the establishment!). Steve Wilson says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM IKIS. Damn. I thought I had this whole genre to myself when I left my hardcore punk band in Detroit to join the Marines in 1983. But a hipster? Fuck me running… Jarod DePastene says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM Ahem…. actually, I've always kinda been hipster, on one level or another… and I was a pretty shit-hot Soldier, when I needed to be. Put me in a position of any semblance of responsibility, and I was by-the-book, straight-forward, and took care of my guys. Introduce me to boredom or utter stupidity for even a second, and I was mothing off, always looking for the best place to get away with sleeping on duty, refusing to keep my hair at anything but "just-barely-within-regs" length, and finding any way possible to "lose" my reflective belt and/or keep using BDU and DCU colored equipment. The whole Army thing actually kind of goes hand-in-hand with the "tolerable" hipster, anyhow. Thick-rimmed glasses, free shemaghs and berets(and other kinds of off-the-beaten-path clothing items that most people never even heard of), nobody judges you for smoking cheap cigarettes, a guilt free loitering spot (anywhere in your battalion area), and a captive audience to listen to your diatribes about conspiracies and the emerging nobility class. The military is hipster heaven, as long as you can learn to follow orders. Terrance Sanborn says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM A real hipster would have joined NOAA. It's a uniformed service: you've probably never heard of it. Joel O'Brien says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM I beat the draft…by enlisting! Nick Antoncic says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM Apparently, the "hipster" tried to join the Jejune Institute first but was rejected, for what appear to be obscure and somewhat ironic reasons. Zachary Holt says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM I thought Bradley Manning was the first hipster in the army. Doc Bailey says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM It's amazing how conformist non-conformists can be. Pappy Hicks says: February 25, 2014 at 11:54 PM After I returned from Korea 1952, I became a platoon sergeant training infantrymen, most who would go to Korea. We were old school army and most of the recruits were kids from WW I & WW II families. I got my US Army commission, infantry, between wars. I am also an old paratrooper of many jumps over the years. On my last tour from Viet Nam I was assigned as a XO to a Infantry Basic Training Battalion. This as Ft. Bragg, SF and 82nd AIB. I was more than ticked off. but I did have time to make my last covert ops in 1968. This one puled my plug. and I was retired as total physically disabled Army officer. But on my tour with this battalion, to say the least, this was a different bunch of young men then my first. Some were, and became, some of the best soldiers I have ever known. The majority were very different than how I was brought up as a young American, ready to fight and die under the flag. But I was told by many old friends that once these young men was under the gun and fighting to save their bother warriors lives, they fought like we old guys. I am proud of both experiences.

A Word About The Elections -Chuck Baldwin
Submitted by GBAmerica on Mon, 11/05/2012 - 00:16A Word About The Elections
With the 2012 Presidential election just a few days away, it is almost superfluous for me to engage in any kind of in depth discussion, as most people cannot, for the life of them, get past the political theater that is currently crescendoing to a climax. Therefore, I will simply provide readers with a few passing thoughts regarding the elections next week.
I think Mitt Romney will somewhat comfortably win the Presidential election. This will cause "conservatives," Christians, and most Republicans to go into a state of deep hibernation, which will allow Romney to wreak havoc upon the Constitution and liberties of the people. In 2012, Barack Obama is the "Boogeyman" that must defeated at all costs. But the fact is, with the exception of Romney's more business-friendly approach to economics, the differences between Obama and Romney are negligible.

not seeing it
i see all networks reporting obama in a narrow lead ....
now unless they are hoping that romney does win so there might be some
riots and looting to happen so they will have something to report on.
i don't know... all i hear is obama in the lead.
whoever wins - we will know then who the elite picked.
cuz it aint gonna be decided by an actual vote.

All the networks are getting the people ready for Romney
to win, Obama has fulfilled his part. Without Obama the brain dead D's would still be demonstrating against the wars. I agree with Jesse Ventura Romney was chosen 4 years ago. Otherwise why all the Mormon ads over the past 3 years? Where did the Mormons find all the money for the ads?
The D's would have never voted in NDAA without Obama. I think the elites figure they got as much mileage as possible out of Obama.
I wonder if Obama will go quietly or will he turn on the PTB?
It is not our choice to pick the POTUS, only the illusion of it!

The numbers aren't adding up for Romney. I don't believe he'll win. It might end up closer than the statistics are showing, but I'm betting Obama (unfortunately) gets four more.

You're questioning numbers not adding up?
When did numbers have anything to do with it? Haven't you seen what they did prior to primaries up to Tampa?

Check the statistics from one of the best political statisticians I've seen. Nate Silver has amassed quite a record of being right.
The latest numbers show a 90+% chance Obama wins. We'll find out tomorrow, then you really should consider ignoring the pundits and talking heads in favor of following the numbers.

The vote could go either way....its all staged to achieve some objective. Just like gore vs bush. popular vote vs electoral vote.

Trying to read between the lines.
Article says: "So, if it makes you feel better, vote for Mitt Romney. He's probably going to win anyway–but it won't matter! But, by all means, when you find a for-real freedomist to vote for in the other races, be sure you do that, because that WILL matter!"
I find those interesting words. Are then an endorsement of sorts?
I also find it interesting that he doesn't mention the Constitution Party Candidate, or any 3rd party candidate, or even a write in for Ron Paul.
That seems strange to me since Baldwin ran on the CP ticket 4 years ago.
Trying to read between the lines.
Thank you for posting!

I think what Chuck was saying in this article in my opinion,that we are screwed.Chuck Baldwin loves Ron Paul, he has stood up for him.If it was not for Chuck Baldwin,I would have not heard of Ron Paul or the Liberty movement back then when it started.Trust me Chuck Baldwin does NOT like Romney at all,he knows he is a Neo Con.Chuck does not like Obama either.When you have time bookmark his page,there are links to the left on there I think you will enjoy.
The ones I really learned alot from is Bush Record,CFR,and Neocons.
(Also elections 2012 Ron Paul)

Thanks GBAmerica
I like Chuck Baldwin. He was one of my stops on the way to Ron Paul! I am semi familiar with his site and I have enjoyed reading the links on the left of his site. He is the one who first opened my eyes to the 501c3 issue for churches...and the severity of the issues of vanishing Liberty here in America. Unfortunately I didn't know about him until after the election in 2008 or I would have voted for him them. I sure wish he was running this year.
I am glad you posted his article, otherwise I wouldn't have taken time to go there to read. I was just surprised by that paragraph and am glad you have given an interpretation.

He got my vote!
Just got done writting him in for U. S. House last night! I don't know if they will count it, but it was either write in him or me. I doubt they would let me serve in the U. S. House and the Montana House at the same time anyways. Not to mention being Montana supervisor of schools. I suppose I will have to write myself in for something else yet before this is all over. I am very happy to have Chuck living in my state though; gives me someone to write in in a pinch.

Yes, I have had the thought
Yes, I have had the thought just last week about what if everyone in the US wrote themselves in for president! Maybe that would send a message...now how to get all the people to learn how to write their own name instead of voting for criminals!
- Login to post comments
That would be great!
It reminds me of part of the speach I wrote that I thankfully didn't have to give on caucus night. How proud I was to vote for a man that I truly believed could/would do a better job than me as President. How many people can say that about their candidate of choice! I think I would be a damn good President or Congressman, but Ron Paul would be 10 times better and probably Mr. Baldwin too. How can you vote for someone who will do a worse job than yourself?

yes...thanks GB
Like Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin is a standard bearer for me. A very special human being and I have liked to think that through all this his friendship has brought comfort at times to Ron Paul. Absolutely trust him and listen to whatever he says. I agree that it will be Romney. And, Bear, we
like you I am writing in Ron Paul. I am voting for the message because I can!

I had no idea :)
Boy did I butcher my spelling in that last post. Sorry about that. I must have been in a hurry. I have decided to post this up here incase you wish to erase your post below and remove dots, and if you wish me to do the same here, say so somewhere else. Otherwise we can leave it in "stone."
I cannot even imagine what I dragged up and reposted of yours LOL...I even read about that in the MOD box, yes I am a curious sort, and had no idea what was being talked about...and still don't and you don't need to bring it up, unless you think some of my thinking needs corrected...because who knows, I may repeat it again, unknowingly...LOL.
My grandfather was a bigot. I can imagine my grandmother doing the same thing...because she could...and not ever telling him because his wrath would have been terrible for her to endure.
Now I am pulling up thoughts and connecting dots...I read where you do that too...It didn't have anything to do with what Bill Still had say about that funding of that Mises founder being of the Rockefellers? Did it? If so, now you want to see me connect dots...How about this: The Rockefellers found an influential thinker who might just spread thoughts of Liberty so they imported him, funded him, and maybe influenced him. Maybe so as to get him off track from srpeading truth, or mixing that truth with a lie so that that truth is rejected completely. I can see that taking a "bullet" singularly could save a whole group of Friends as well as a whole movement.
Thank you for your kind words. One thing you will see about me, fonta, is that I allow myself to be vulnerable as I pretty much just let people see who I am, unless of course I have something not so nice to say, I try to temper it. I hope the love of Christ shows thru me. I cannot stand to see false truth. I put a post up today which may have gotten alot more notice if I had inserted a certain LP candidate's name, but did not want to start contention, but I just want people to be aware when they hear lies, or maybe misconceptions.
It concerns me greatly that this Voice of Liberty which so many of us share is a target which most likely will not go un targeted, and may already be.
I never realized your world and mine were entwined, sister…at least that is what I imagine you to be. Thank you for the time you have taken to give me such a complete reply.
fonta, just a quick thought, if you think it proper to say, who are some of the ID's who are valuable teachers? I often have questions.

Ideas Are Good!
...and if Ron Paul can take responsibility for things with his signature, I will have to live with my archive and all the places the mind circuit I am forced to use takes me. It continues to take me in a lot of unusual places. Resolved: Leave it in stone!
Actually it "was" a Roger Stone article that you reposted or linked to. At the time I was deep into the huge premature Gary presence along with the music festival and all those promoting the presence as well as Lawyers 4. Names were named, some very connected to this site and some of those sleuthing were banned. Some things were posted that never should have been posted. Some things were discovered that I wish I had not been a part of. I think we encouraged each other and it was sorta fun,, but I am not sure now if it served any purpose.
As far as the newsletters, there were some insinuations that Murray Rothbard might have done "some editing." May not be true, but if it was I "forgave" him too as there was a lot of racial confusion back in the days . Plus, while he sounds like quite a character, he was brilliant and his legacy is huge and thank goodness Lew works so hard to preserve it. (There is a lot of great info on the Rothbard/Koch break that helps to better understand the division in the DP archive through the search engine. I still am not clear on who exactly the LP is right now...but I know it is hardly the strong cornerstone of small l libertarianism.
I will look up some of the old names as I remember what they said better than who they were. One thing I noticed is that most seldom names names or parties. They were (and are) more into the message, the principles behind the message, explaining history before it was revised, philosophy and sometimes language and symbolic logic. Also there were some great theological discussions and actually still are. I seldom participate because my spirituality is so integral to who I am and while I listen to everything, there are some I don't want to defend. I once was at an age where I actually thought if I found the right book or teacher I was capable of understanding "everything." Now I am at a place where I know that the more answers I get, the more questions I have and if I reach any conclusion that I think are set in cement, they are only scaffolding until I have more information!
I truly wonder if there are many in influential positions or pot3ntially influential positions that have not (by hook or crook) been touched by the influence of such as the Rockefeller, Koch Bros, Soros, etc. They are definitely tricky and come from some entitled line of reasoning that we can't understand.
Yes, we are enterwined aa far as where inquisitive similar minds go and we are definitely spiritual sisters as well. have a great day!

Oh, yah, the way I knew about
Oh, yah, the way I knew about Roger Stone is someone posted a Post that said something like "I want to know more about this" or something like that and there was a Bill Still video talking about Roger Stone and Gary Johnson. I was already wondering what was going on and that seemed to close some loops for me and open some doors.
I spend alot of time talking to Josf though so I don't do alot of searching. He has helped me tremendously as he makes me think thru concepts. He has spent countless hours trying to help me understand. He is not a Brother, but he is a dear Friend in Liberty. I cannot always understand him. It is hard to talk online and understand all the concepts, but I can say that I don't know if there would have been anyone else who would have spent the time he has in helping me see thru some of the lies or at least look at some things differently.
I wasn't around in 2008 when those letters came out. There is no telling what happened and why. I would imagine that we cannot even begin to know the evil that Dr. Paul has had to wade thru these years. It amazes me that he is still alive. And then again, sometimes I worry that Liberty is being allowed to be set ablaze for nefarious purposes. But who can know. And you are right, we can't know everything and it is good to be at a spot where knowing some things is enough.
I remember when all the GJ stuff was coming up before even Tampa. I remember saying that he should get on Dr Paul's bandwagon instead of dividing Liberty. Those were my thoughts. Things didn't seem just right. Something didn't seem right to me after Dr. Paul had breakfast with Bernanke. My speculation though. It is hard to trust anyone when there is so much disinformation and perhaps so many who would blatently try to thwart the Liberty of the People.
Keep up the good fight. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood. It is good to talk to you my Sister :)

Ford and Chevrolet are once again engaged in muscle car wars -- but Dodge seems to be playing the role of conscientious objector. While the Mustang and Camaro are continually refined in an attempt to beat the other car, Dodge simply rolls out new retro graphics or retina-scorching paint.
That's a pity -- even though the Challenger is saddled with a substantial curb weight and an aging platform, there's still more potential. I'd really love to see engineers first address the suspension tuning. Even as a full-bore SRT model with the "track pack" option, this feels nearly identical to the R/T I drove last year -- which is to say substantially soft. The ride is perfect for boulevard cruising and brief blitzes down the quarter-mile straightaway, but the soft dampening -- to say nothing of the Challenger's portly heft -- don't help in switchbacks.
Then again, that's exactly how the original Challengers handled -- so those looking to recreate memories from decades ago won't be disappointed. Those looking for yesterday's styling enhanced by today's technology, however, will be.

Though it seems to be the most popular asian bb cream on the market, it also seems that the Missha Perfect Cover BB is also a very hit or miss product. Luckily for me, it's a major hit.
I originally purchased this product at Missha's store in Harajuku when I lived in Japan last summer. I can't even begin to describe how hot and humid Japanese summers are, and I was looking for a quick fix product to replace my entire makeup routine, and that I could easily reapply entirely on the go. I had read rave reviews about this product online beforehand, so when I spotted the Missha stand as I was searching for a drugstore, I was so excited. Thankfully, the product turned out to be a great success for me, and was something that I could apply and reapply and reapply as I sweated it off throughout the day.
I am very pale (and white, not even Asian), but the shade #13 in Milky Beige suits my skintone perfectly. Those horrible western BB creams often leave pale girls looking orange, and a lot of other Asian BB creams, such as the Skin 79 line, can have a gray tone to them that lasts even after oxidization. This cream, however, looks very natural on me, like my skin but better, which is obviously what you should aim for with any base/foundation kind of product.
It definitely sets like a good moisturizer, without making my already soft, normal texture skin feel greasy or oily at all. In fact, I often use it as a replacement for moisturizer and sunscreen in my morning routine, and it works like a charm for me. Sometimes, I even use this BB cream on its own, or with a little dab of concealer here and there, and I'm set for the day, getting a good amount of coverage without the more time-consuming routine of moiturizer > sunblock > foundation > finishing powder. Speaking of sunblock, did I neglect to mention that this has SPF?
Usually when I use Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream, I apply it as the first layer of my facial routine. It's buildable, so if I'm wearing it in place of my foundation, I wait a bit between application and add a couple extra layers to my chin (the only trouble spot on my face) which does the trick rather nicely. If I'm doing my entire routine, however, I only apply one layer, then add one layer of foundation, and minimal concealer. Rarely do I ever need finishing powder, as this product has a bit of a dewy effect as advertised, but does not make me look shiny.
I like the fact that the packaging has a pump, which is a more hygienic alternative to other bottle types, but unfortunately, I've had problems with the pump getting stuck, or having to pump rapidly for a bit to get the product back up to the top. This doesn't happen very often, however, so it's not too bad.
Because of this product, I can't help but roll my eyes and shake my head when people go on and on about western BB creams. They're not even comparable in the slightest to the original asian products, really, just overly hyped and repackaged tinted moisturizers. I wish I could hand everybody a bottle of Missha BB cream so they could understand how well the real deal works!
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought the # 23 first and I did like it but I had to mix it with another foundation with more of a yellow color so that it would match my skin tone. Apart from having a grayish tone, it was also pretty dewy. And I'm comparing it to the # 27 I ended buying a year later. I don't think I will ever go back to any other foundation. I LOVE Missha M # 27 bb cream!! It doesn't feel heavy, it has amazing coverage and matches my skin PERFECTLY. I have been searching for my match ever since I started wearing makeup and tbh I had to resort to mixing two different colors because I had given up. #27 is less dewy, a bit more on the matte side. I am acne prone and have sensitive skin & this makeup did not break me out at all. It doesn't get oily or bit it did make me look washed out the longer I have it on, more than 6 hours for me. And I do appreciate the SPF and how it's supposed to lighten your scars. I do see improvement. Definitely a keeper!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great light coverage, I've got the no.13 shade as I'm very pale and will only continue to get paler as we move into winter so it's a good match. I apply this with clean hands on my face and then use a heaver concealer over my acne and it looks very natural. Have recommended this product to many people :)
Just a heads up, this is a FOUNDATION NOT A BASE!!
now at first i tried it with a brush and it was AWFUL! the color was all wrong!! it made me look gray. the consistency was not streaky and it was very moisturizing just like the product promised. good spf but the only problem was the gray cast. lots of gurus claim that it goes away within a few minutes but mine didn't leave until noon (i applied it in the morning) but once the product does sink in it looks very very natural. i was rereading the product description on their direct only store and they say it can be used as a makeup BASE! meaninig prior to foundation! then it hit me.. use a small amount like a moisturizer (like the whole dot it on each section of your face and neck then spread) THEN apply on your foundation (i highly recommend laneige's crystal dual foundation). it will make your makeup last and last and last.
Perfect cover gives me decent coverage but I love that it didn't break me out. Its staying power is pretty good as well. I don't like that it isn't very moisturizing but I just compensate by stacking with a moisturizer.
I've been using this for more than a year now and I'd have to say, this is my favorite among all my bb creams. I bought it through a friend who sells korean cosmetics for around $14 or $15 for the full size. I really dont remember how much it was exactly but it was pretty affordable considering how much product it has. Now, First of all, the texture is lovely. It compliments my combination skin - I have an oily t zone while my cheeks are normal. I live in the tropics, so I oil up faster than I normally would when I stay in an air conditioned room. But I don't mind the dewy skin it gives me once it sets off. I really don't like my face to be looking super matte so I don't mind that its a bit dewy after a couple of hours. The place I live in is really warm, even when it's not summer it still is warm, so the high spf couldn't make me any more happier. I guess it still depends on how your skin is but so far it's faired okay with me. The coverage is also LOVE! It can go from light to semi full but definitely not full as I can still see some of my marks peeking through. I had a pretty bad case of acne last year so athough it has improved a lot, I'm still suffering the consequences of acne marks up to this date. This baby covers so well I only need two layers to be on the go, I don't even use concealers anymore. And lastly, the shade. Well i'm not so fond of the color as most korean bb creams are too gray but like I said, it adjusts on my skin tone in no time. I have fair skin with yellow undertones so if we are in the same color chart then it should work fine for you. I use the shade #23 in Natural Beige. So anyways, If you're looking to buy a high end western bb cream anytime soon, I highly suggest you give this a shot first. Its THAT good I swear! You can buy this off at cosmetics love. :) Try it, you'll love it!

This product runs around 29.99 and with the periodical 30% off (or 40% off end of season sale) it brings it down to a more wallet friendly price. With that being said would I buy this product again? Probably not and I'll explain why. Just to give you a bit of background info, I am NC 15-20 depending on the season, combination skin with more leverage towards dry side, and sensitive. I've used my fair share of korean BB creams and overall would rate Missha as one of the better formulas due to slower oxidation, more coverage, and higher spf. I would whole-heartedly recommend Missha perfect cover BB cream but only for oily-skinned gals. Dry-skin? I'd probably steer clear or make sure you exfoliate well everyday and stay moisturized to prevent what I call cracking. I'm subject to dry skin patches and many a foundations and BB creams tend to settle in the dried skin ridges thus exacerbating the visible flakes for a lack of better term. This isn't necessarily Missha's fault, maybe mine for inheriting my father's dry skin but the perfect cover isn't hydrating enough for me to want to repurchase. High spf? gimmicky you need alot of sunscreen to receive the appropriate protection. Brightening? Not really and I've used it for a year, my neck is still lighter than my face! Break-outs? Surprisingly no but I suspect Missha's white cure skincare system may be imparting negative juju on me. This isn't to say this BB cream is bad for all dry skinned girls but it left a subpar impression on me. I would in any case order a trial version on sale or a sample packet to try before committing 'cause you never know, it may be a real love affair. Sad to say it just wasn't working out in my case.
This is the only BB cream I have tried so far so I have nothing else to compare it to. I have number 23, the darkest available at time of purchase. They have darker shades now. I am a NC35. The color doesn't match my skin tone at all. It was grayish when I first put it on, but the grayish tone goes away after awhile.
This product claims to do a lot of things for your skin. I am skeptical. I have gotten sunburns when wearing this BB cream. I went out for less than 2 hours. If it really has SPF 42, I should be able to go out for at least 14 hours (my skin starts to burn after 20 to 30 minutes in the sun with no sun protection). My skin didn't get whiter after using this.
This BB cream has medium coverage. It blurs out minor imperfections, but you can't hide acne with this. It is hard to put It on without using moisturizer first. It gives you a dewy look when you first put it on, but it makes your face look super oily by noon. Powder helps a little but not much. I have stopped using it because I can no longer stand the smell. Fragrance is too strong.
I am SO IMPRESSED. the lasting power is incredible and the coverage is great. it looks really natural and stays on almost all day. i apply it with a big round foundation brush (Tarte's) and then set it with a powder and a setting spray. i love it and have already rebought.
I feel like I'm the last one to jump on the Asian BB cream bandwagon, but here I am!
I've had pretty bad luck with US drugstore TMs and BB creams since everything is so pink/neutral. I wear this in #27, and it's a pretty good match to my yellowish NC30ish skin tone. It doesn't oxidize much, if at all. I'd call the coverage "medium," but I use the tiniest amount to get nice sheer, even coverage. If I set with an HD powder, it will stay matte for about 8 hours. If I don't set, it's dewier, but it doesn't turn into a greaseball either.
It does have a bit of a scent, but not so much that it's bothersome. I don't think it's causing breakouts--I had a few small spots two days after I started using it, but everything has cleared up and I think it was a coincidence.
I like the product and I'm planning on buying the full size when my sample runs out.

With their vibrant colors and lacy frills, dainty, crisp-crusted French macarons are the perfect Valentine's Day baking project. But these lovely little delicacies are temperamental enough to stump even the most accomplished chefs. Even if you follow a detailed recipe down to the letter, a batch of macarons can go very wrong very quickly. Thanks to humidity, an unreliable oven temperature gauge, or an overly enthusiastic stirring hand, you may find yourself facing macaron-ageddon rather than baking bliss.

sources such as urban and agricultural runoff from a lake's watershed; and (3) long-range atmospheric transport of contaminants (the most difficult to measure and control). These stresses result in a variety of impacts on lake quality relative to human use and ecological integrity.
The specific impacts of stresses on lake ecosystems depend on the nature of the stress and the characteristics of the lake, but some responses are common to several categories of stress. For example, stress-impacted lakes tend to lose sensitive native species. Their replacement by stress-tolerant native or exotic species often does not fully compensate for the loss and leads to lower biodiversity and simplified food webs. Many types of stress result in loss of habitat; often this is the proximate cause of species losses. Many kinds of stress produce ''nuisance conditions," that is, proliferation of a native or exotic organism or deterioration in a physical-chemical property (such as water clarity) to the extent that beneficial uses of the lake are impaired. Finally, the development of toxic levels of contaminants in biota results not only from direct loading of toxic materials to lakes but also from indirect effects of other stresses (e.g., solubilization of aluminum as pH is decreased by acid deposition).
Of the six categories of stress, problems related to nutrient overenrichment and excessive plant production are probably the most common and have received public and scientific attention for the longest time. Concern about lake eutrophication from municipal wastewater extends back at least to the 1940s and the classic studies of Sawyer (1947) on the relationship between springtime concentrations of inorganic phosphorus and nitrogen and the occurrence of algal blooms in summer. By the 1960s, widespread concern existed about increasing eutrophication of the Great Lakes, and nutrient enrichment problems were recognized in numerous inland lakes. A large-scale research program funded primarily by federal agencies was undertaken on eutrophication in the 1960s and 1970s. This program led to improved understanding of the extent of the problem in U.S. lakes, delineated specific causes of the problem in some lakes, generated quantitative relationships between rates of nutrient loadings (especially of phosphorus) to lakes and water column responses in the lakes, and developed techniques to restore lakes degraded by eutrophication.
Eutrophication results in numerous ecological and water quality changes in lakes. The chain of events leading to use impairment is

China to re-open embassy in Somalia
Comment on this storyBeijing - China said on Monday it will re-open its embassy in Somalia 23 years after evacuating its diplomats as the East African nation plunged into civil war.
The decision came after Somalia established its first government and parliament in 21 years, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said. He said Beijing would send a delegation to Somalia on Tuesday.
"Somalia has entered a new stage of its peace process," Hong told reporters at a regular briefing. "That brings a new opportunity for the development of China-Somalia relations."
Chinese diplomats left Somalia in January 1991 after a longtime dictator was overthrown and warlords turned on each other, plunging the impoverished country into chaos.
The United States announced earlier in June that it would appoint an ambassador to Somalia but said it had no immediate plans to re-open its embassy in the capital, Mogadishu, which has been beset by violence and deadly bombings spurred by the militant network al-Shabab.
China has a large presence on the African continent, with Chinese companies building roads, airports and other infrastructure. Beijing has opened more embassies and commercial offices in recent years. Last year, China-Africa trade reached $210 billion, according to official figures. - Sapa-AP

Gauteng health pays R11.6m claim
Comment on this storyThe Gauteng health department has paid R11.6 million to the family of an eight-year-old boy who suffered cerebral palsy after treatment at the Far East Rand hospital, it said on Monday.
The full amount was transferred to the account of Ntokozo Skhosana's lawyer on Monday said spokesman Simon Zwane.
He said the department was ordered to make the payment by the High Court in Johannesburg.
"The department is doing everything it can to ensure that other children born and treated in our hospitals are not injured or harmed through the negligence of our staff," said Zwane
He said the department had approved the appointment of seven doctors at the hospital to increase the availability of health professionals and to reduce the type of incidents that resulted in Skhosana's injury.
"The hospital is also required to hold regular meetings to determine how many children were born, find out if there were injuries or deaths, establish the causes of injuries or deaths and put in place preventative measures," said Zwane. - Sapa

The ad was designed to commemorate The Record's 110th anniversary. The idea was to show a copy of the very first edition (5 June 1895) alongside a copy of the 5 June 2005 edition. The 2005 image came from a pdf of the front page. The only image we could find of the 1895 edition was a small, grayscale, half-toned image in a book. So I scanned the image at a very high resolution, cleaned up the edges a bit, and applied a duotone. I also had to approximate the size of an 1895 broadsheet relative to the smaller size of the modern-day paper. Actual ad size: 11.625" x 21"

Bernstein Liebhard LLP Announces That A Class Action Has Been Filed Against Ventrus Biosciences, Inc.
NEW YORK, May 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bernstein Liebhard LLP today announced that a class action has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of a class (the "Class") of purchasers of Ventrus Biosciences, Inc. ("Ventrus" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: VTUS) securities between December 17, 2010 and June 25, 2012 (the "Class Period").
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120202/MM47134LOGO )
Ventrus is a development stage pharmaceutical company which is focused on late-stage prescription drugs for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, specifically hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and fecal incontinence. Ventrus' lead products are topical treatments for hemorrhoids, which target a specific serotonin receptor.
Plaintiffs allege that, throughout the Class Period, the Company made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts concerning the Company's lead product iferanserin (VEN 309) ("VEN 309"). The Company described VEN 309 as a new chemical entity for the topical treatment of symptomatic internal hemorrhoids. The Company stated that in seven clinical studies between 1993 and 2003, VEN 309 demonstrated good tolerability and no severe adverse events while showing statistically significant improvements in bleeding, itchiness, and pain.
Specifically, during the Class Period the Company stated that it was in frequent and ongoing communications with the FDA, that clinical end points for the VEN 309 trial had been agreed to by the FDA, and that the prior results from Phase II trials of VEN 309 demonstrated the product's clinical efficacy. The Company represented its prior Phase IIb studies in Germany as evidence of VEN 309's efficacy and as support for their claims that FDA approval would be achieved. These false and misleading statements artificially inflated, maintained, and increased the price of Ventrus' common stock, reaching a high of $20.25 during the Class Period. On June 25, 2012, Ventrus issued a press release announcing that VEN 309 failed its Phase III trial before the FDA, and that the Company would abandon further development of VEN 309, including any further attempt to obtain FDA approval. In response to this news, the price of Ventrus common stock plummeted over 50% -- to $5.02 per share on June 25, 2012, resulting in millions of dollars in damages to investors. Plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of all Class members who invested in Ventrus securities during the Class Period. If you invested in Ventrus securities as described above during the Class Period, and either lost money on the transaction or still hold the stock, you may wish to join in this action to serve as lead plaintiff. In order to do so, you must meet certain requirements set forth in the applicable law and file appropriate papers no later than July 8, 2013. A "lead plaintiff" is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Bernstein Liebhard LLP, or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Meanwhile, Municipalities have more mandates that we have no idea of how we're going to cover. We're rolling out a system now that looks like a Cluster Phuck, but we're told it's a compliance part of the new health care act. More money down the drain and this dog takes $$ away from the health care services that we already provide the uninsured. I still want to know what mechanism is there to ensure that the pre-existing condition won't be taking a new form? If you have a chronic condition, what's to stop the insurance parasites from pricing that coverage beyond your reach?

You've got to be kidding. Giving Obama a dime sends exactly the wrong message. To give them some spunk, the money must NOT be given.

I truly regret my donations last time and now the Repugs can say we tried it your way and it didn't work.

Has anyone done a survey in which they asked: Has all the hassle with Fatherland Security and the Airlines driven you away from flying? Since 2001, I haven't flown, haven't missed it and this drives a stake into the idea that I will do so in the future. If a lot more decide the process isn't worth the aggravation, then the airlines will go down the dumper. If I have to get to the East Coast, I'd rather spend a week driving and avoid this crap. In addition to long lines, you get treated like cattle (once on the plane), then you don't know if the airline skimped on maintenance or if the pilot is asleep from working two other jobs–because they don't make enough as a pilot to survive!
My question is: Why would anyone want to deal with this?

I recently found a vintage keg on the cheap and was hoping to turn it into a keggle. I'm having a bit of trouble removing which i think was a very old tap from it though. I just wanted to check to see if anyone knew a better way to remove it rather than using my last resort of brute force. Here's a top view: Thanks a bunch! Happy brewing
It looks like the coupler has a twist-lock, like a sanke. A little brute force doesn't hurt, as long as you're not stripping threads, etc. That keg looks pretty awesome, since your drain will be lower than the average keg. Nice find!
It's a "Golden Gate" keg.http://www.kegworks.com/blog/2009/07...-tap-couplers/
and the valve is threaded in by the brass ring with the four slots. so you can go weldless. just get the tap out,then put a big old screw driver into one of the four slots,and use the hammer to unscrew it. actually, that looks like the back of the valve. some one put it in backwards, so just get the big screwdriver out and hammer, and screw out the brass ring.
yes..its the back of the valve. I just looked at mine. its just in backwards. screw out the ring with the four slots.
Thanks for the replies everyone! It's greatly appreciated.
I got it out thanks to you all. Thanks a bunch. As soon as I can find a place in Winnipeg, Manitoba that will be able to cut the top off for me I'll be able to start my build. Thanks again!

Robin has written an excellent post over at Dear Author about power dynamics in Romance. It got me thinking about the vexed and apparently unending issue of why straight women write m/m. The reason often offered is that m/m is free of the gender games of het romances, and yet so many m/m stories merely reproduce the tropes and expectations of het stories. Why bother writing about two gay or bi men if you're going to write one of them as a woman in a male costume?
There's also the conundrum that while m/m apologists like to beat the drum that many m/m authors are gay or bi or genderqueer, so they are simply writing about their own sexuality and issues, the fact of the matter is that the overwhelming majority of m/m writers are straight (or live in conventional heterosexual relationships.) In fandom, a good many slash writers of male pairings are lesbians. If the point of m/m was simply to write the queer experience, then why do so many queer women choose to write about gay men?
I think Robin's essay may provide the answer. While male-male relationship are certainly not devoid of power plays or gender roles, the dynamics are different. The expectations are different. I, as a straight woman, can write about two men without having to have one consider whether the putative lover/life partner will be a good father to his offspring (that's not to say gay men don't want to be fathers, but it's not close to being the same imperative that fertile women who want kids feel.) The issue of status is less likely to be important. Spontaneous sex can happen without any sick feelings the next morning about the possibility of pregnancy and so on (STDs aside.)
Women writing gay men get to explore what the dynamic are like in a relationship where the presumption is that both partners are socially and societally equal and powerful, where their destiny could go either way (and not be presumed to follow the man's career or wealth). Where both partners often are physically equal and strong, and can experience public responses and safety in the same way (No 'I don't feel safe in this group' – 'Why? I feel safe' conversations where the woman tries and fails to explain why she's feeling fear even though her male lover isn't.)
This kind of thing is very freeing for a woman to explore, to experience vicariously. Unfortunately, too many of us do it without adequately considering how heterosexual privilege blinds us to the real power dynamics and threats within a gay relationship, within the gay community, and as gay men facing a straight world. That lack of consideration leads to appropriative, exploitative writing. It's not actually inevitable though, and I maintain that if a straight woman can bear the impact of straight privilege in mind, there's no harm in her writing about a world she can often only experience at second-hand. Visualisation is a powerful tool for actualisation, and women who can visualise true equality, can help to achieve it.
Apropos to gender roles and such matters, this is an interesting and continued response to an academic who doesn't seem to understand the difference between sex and gender, and that biology is not destiny. Can act as a primer for those of us struggling to understand issues relating to gender fluidity and transgender.
To change the subject, while still on the topic of power, this thread at Absolute Write is beginning to drive me mad. For a thread about authors not telling reviewers how to review, it's spending a lot of time doing just that – all because a stupid twit called Eve Thomas is clouding the issue by claiming to be a victim of domestic abuse while yelling 'bully' at those who take issue with her egregious behaviour over at Goodreads. This behaviour involves spamming forums with links to her crappy book, then spamming negative reviews with links to a site which promotes stalking, and then claiming the police have taken over her GR account to deal with the harrassment.
Let's be clear about this – Thomas may or may not have been abused (I'm leaning towards the 'not' side because she's so incredibly dishonest), but she is undoubtedly a foolish woman using a discredited 'publisher' (PublishAmerica) to put out her books at a staggeringly high cost, and using the veil of 'charitable fund raising' to cover up the fact she's a badly behaving author promoting in a rude and incredibly annoying manner. That people have made their irritation at her behaviour clear is not bullying. The fact her books have received negative reviews after she badgered people into reading and reviewing them, is not bullying. The fact people are shelving her books in a variety of ways indicating their extreme distaste for her behaviour, is not bullying.
Even the fact that people have contacted the charities she claims to be supporting, alerting them to the fact she's making them look bad by association, is not bullying. It's part of being a public persona. The police would not be involved, and do not need to be involved. Ms Thomas is a crybaby and a liar, and really, even if she manages to make some small profit from her crappy books to give to a charity, the harm she does to the cause of anti-domestic violence is much greater. Wrapping herself in Reeva Steencamp's bloodstained sheets while bleeting about bullying comments is repulsive in the extreme.
The commenters on AW should know better. Reviews are not bullying. An author has no requirement to read her reviews, or to respond to them, or take cognisance of them in any way even if she does see them. If you look at the listings for Lindira and the new Remastering Jerna kindle edition on Amazon, you will see reviews which are nasty and ignorant, written by ignorant nasty men trying to get my goat. Unpleasant? Yes. Bullying, no. I don't have to look at the reviews, and I won't. I don't have to look at Goodreads. I don't have to follow links back from my referrer stats.
If I choose to do so, and get upset, then I do that in the knowledge that I had a choice not to look at this crap. Unless the ignorant, tiny-dicked men behind those reviews turn up on my doorstep, I am not threatened. I can walk away. I have the power. They have no power over me. Bullying is about inescapability, about power differentials. In an internet interaction I am equal to any of these trolls, just as Eve Thomas is to any of the people commenting on her books. She can walk away. She chooses not to. She's a fool, not the victim of bullying. People are nasty about her because she's being a heinous bitch. She needs to climb down off the styrofoam cross and realise in this instance, the victimisation is all being carried out by herself.
Bullying is real. Domestic abuse is a dreadful, serious issue. Harrassment online is also a serious issue. But accepting responsibility for one's own actions, especially one's own fuckups, is part of being an adult and fully functioning member of society. At some point, the Eve Thomases of the world need to realise that.
