What I Wished I Had Learned 20 Years Ago
I am an INFJ and I wanted to share what I wish someone had told me 20 years ago.1. An INFJ is only 1 to 2% of the population consequently stop wasting energy on trying to get 98% of the people to understand you. Its a waste of your energy. The energy is better spent making sure you understand yourself.
2. IF you are one of those INFJ's that is highly empathic as I am you are going to be pulled to those people that are seriously damaged. You tend to be highly protective of your inner-self and the only ones that can get through generally are those in a great deal of psychic pain and you are going to want to fix them so that you don't have to feel their pain. Go with your spirit on that as you will make the world a better place however you must make sure you actively ASK God and the Universe for people who will bring Balance into your life or the damaged people can ruin you.
This also goes for people who are physical healers like doctors and nurses(Reiki healers, shamans laying of hands ect). You need balance. Ask for it.
3. You are going to be hurt by people you love the most. That being said don't be a victim about it and don't castigate yourself because you may continue to love that person long after they have violated you. Trust that love has a reason that you may not see YET. Don't be bitter and don't hold on to the hurt. Love sees further then you do. It sees beyond the bounds of physical life and INFJ's definately know how to love but we sometimes don't know what to do when it appears to have backfired and hurt us. When that happens trust your spirit and not your mind and don't waste the energy to analyze what went wrong. Trust nothing went wrong except where you know it was wrong on your part. Learn from what you did and move on.
Recently I had the experience of having a stroke. People who I loved but with whom I had a falling out with , some years ago: Perhaps because I dragged them some places psychically that they weren't able to deal with at the time but the message I brought was one they needed to hear.
I was shocked out of my head when some of them walked into my hospital or made contact with me over the distance of time. I saw I wasn't wrong to have loved them. Only that being human I doubted myself when things appeared to go wrong. But truly loving someone even if it appears to backfire on you is never wrong . It is a blessing you send out into the world and sometimes you get to see it come back to you when you least expect it.
Also when you love pay attention to the details, be in the moment because there is no guarantee that the ob
Addendum added Dec 3, 2010
4. You have the right to be happy so aspire to it. Be very careful around people who tell you- you are too sensitive. The people most likely to tell you that are likely family members. Its probable that they are NOT sensitive enough. These same people will offer advice on what you should do in your life. Quickly do a fact check. Are they happy in their lives? If they are unhappy then they probably can't tell you a whole lot about being happy. That doesn't mean though that you can't learn from their unhappiness. Also it will be really easy for people to guilt you into making decisions that will make life easier for them. You have a strong sense of responsibility and it will be super easy for you to fall into this trap. Ask yourself if the person thats asking you to do this has shown by their own behavior that they care about whether you are happy. If your happiness doesn't seem to matter to them, if your pursuit of joy seems impeded by them no matter how much they try to guilt you into something, don't do it. It will be much harder to walk away later and you will be further away from your own happiness. Helping people is your nature but some people are psychic vampires and they need to leech on to a willing victim and suck them dry. They may actually genuinely need help and as stated above go with your spirit but do not do so in exchange of your own well being. Maya Angelou says if someone tells you who they are listen!!!!! If someone has told you , you are too sensitive then understand what they are really saying is they are insensitive to you and your joy/pain. DO NOT LET THESE PEOPLE into your head. They will send you into a detour of your own spiritual journey. You can't really help them, their karma and life choices have consequences for them and your getting in the way will end up getting you bashed. Love them from a distance.
Here is my addendum for 2014:
Learn to forgive: This is a big one and hard sometimes to do.
Forgiveness isn't something that means you forget..... It means accepting the past and then choosing to walk away from it. It means not letting your past control your future. It means not letting people continue to work your strings. Forgiveness is something you do for yourselves because not forgiving means you have a wound that won't heal. Usually the other person will have reduced the circumstance to something trivial in their lives but we will be the ones constantly bleeding from the blow they dealt us. Not forgiving is like carrying around a ball and chain shackled to us. Sometimes you may need some space between the person who dealt the blow and you. If not you will always feel in defensive mode and you will not be able to forgive even if you know its for you. Get away if you have to and find the space to heal yourself.
KEEP A POSITIVE MINDSET. Make it a discipline and expect that as soon as you decide to practice controlling your own mind, the universe is going to challenge you. A lot of negative stuff is going to challenge you to see if you really mean to control your thoughts and stay positive. Even if you are in negative circumstances learn to look for the positive. This doesn't mean that only positive things will come your way but it does mean that you will be steering your course instead of being cast adrift in uncertainty and despair. It is a discipline that you must practice day and night and hour by hour but you will have better health for it and it will be much more difficult to keep you down for long. God bless you all.
Thank you so much for posting this. I've read it and re-read it countless times. It's almost like you've helped me cultivate a mantra.
Everyone faces their own set of challenges in life- and being an INFJ comes with its own unique collection. Being a male INFJ adds a whole other layer- Ni+Fe can be a beast, pushing you to fit in all the while knowing you really don't. It can often feel like you've been marooned in a foreign place where you don't know the native language.
Everyone has the ability to learn from their life experience and allow the good and bad to foster growth. I learn a little better each day to show the same kindness, acceptance, and appreciation to myself that I always try to show others- and you speak to the sentiment so beautifully.
Your advice is wise, the sort which comes from living. I, for one, hear it. I just wanted to share my gratitude.
Your story helped me a lot. I've been looking for people who can understand me and so far haven't seen one. So it was because we are only few. Thank you for sharing this ^.^
From a young infj: THANK YOU SO MUCH. Your directions + a spiritual practice is all an infj needs! Namaste.
Also struck by the coincidence that I read this on the day of Maya Angelou's passing.
Me too. Finding out who I am helps me understand a lot I wish I had known 40 years ago! Lol
I am impressed by how many people this post seems to have touched. My question is: What if you married a person who is very insensitive to your own sensitivities? We have two young children, and I feel very much like the little girl with the little curl right in the middle of her forehead. And right now, it is very horrid...
Thank you so much. I have been in my shadow for years and struggling with some issues you've given advice on in this post. I really appreciate your insight.
I am A christian so some of your mentioning of the universe and stuff I don't agree with BUT the other stuff, I have experienced. People call me sensitive when I do not do things the way they want to. At times it has angered me but eventually I realized that this is MY life and only God has control over it. I am not meant to jump to everyone's expectations. I am naturally a fighter and a person that gets things done but I refuse to rush into anything. I am very empathetic, very much into helping others and putting their needs above my own to the point that I lose myself. I have made it so that I spend more time alone than with others because it is draining. I have no friends because all my friends were either insensitive, rude, or jealous. I had people around me that were just interested in me because I was so mysterious or closed off not because they truly cared for me. It was annoying to deal with but I just dumped them like trash. Also dating is hard because I can become self sacrificing and then the person becomes a pampered baby and forget about me. At the end of the day, I just stay to myself and I am much happier this way. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, great post. I have just recently discovered I am an INFJ, and I wish someone/I had found out earlier then I wouldn't have been so confused for so long.
However I guess I can count myself lucky I haven't found out that late.
The points you have shared here are so valuable, thanks.
I'm 20 years old and am definitely an INFJ type. Many fancies have run away with my mind in these years. //// But sometimes, when I was young, I would imagine I was a Peregrine Falcon soaring and soaring---and DIVING at 200 mph. For recreation. I never struck any prey at the end of those dives. Free and fast. Free at last. I love that bird in particular, I think, because it is aggressive, elite, uninhibited, free; It's everything that is not me. As a child, the Peregrine Falcon was my mental animagus. //// I think the INFJs life is a path of exquisitely purposeful timing and events. //// I find myself constantly, almost obsessively looking forward to where my life will go...which is exactly why I came to read your post about where your life has been. I also believe names are powerful and that it is no mistake Peregrin was here to illuminate my way as I start exploring this site. INFJ is my one and only stop here. (Of course, if you're "Peregrin" as in the Took from Lord of the Rings, then I hope you at least enjoyed reading my little anecdote about the bird and even still---great movies. I digress.) //// As I read through you touched on two of the BIGGEST, most POWERFUL words floating daily through my recent thought processes: love and happiness. What they are, what they mean, how they affect you, me, everybody, and how they are attained (or, for that matter, are they attainable?). But I don't mean to be negative, I mean only to get to the point. The idea of seeking physical balance is wonderful. I feel a deep satisfaction when I imagine that course of action...like I know it will help me. You're absolutely right, there must surely be a toll taken on our bodies from the damaged energy we process in our minds. The fruitful pleasures of our mind's work decomposing into damaging physical manifestations. Oh this life we live, huh. It is a strange and fickle pickle, indeed. ///// I inherently trust people because I believe true faith yields true faithfulness, but you're right about the vampiric leeches on the psyche. Since I was 3 years old I have felt attuned to a strong sense of intent/motivations within people's actions or words. This gift has ENABLED me to guard myself from the negative. With strong convictions and proper motivation our abilities are useful and strong. I feel like we INFJs, though few in number, can protect our extraordinary minds from the pressure of 98% no problem. ///////// One last thing I would say is in regards to this quote: "It is a blessing you send out into the world and sometimes you get to see it come back to you when you least expect it." ----I love it. Paying it forward. Blasting a blessing into the world for our fellow brother to cling to in a world with nothing real enough to grab anywhere else. With the rest of our lives becoming a series of intangible, impersonal technological outlets of expression...the mystic's weight of the word "LOVE" hammers home with the only outlet real enough to hold on to.
What great advice! Thank you!
Thanks for the advice, I will keep them in mind.
What is INFJ?
your writing made me smile and inspired..
feels really good knowing that I'm not alone here..
thank you very much, Peregrin. God bless you abundantly.. :)
I know there is a price for being an empathetic person, but, I am glad there are sensitive people in the world and that can bring there energies to help those who are struggling. I am an enfp and I struggle with some of the same issues. I gravitate toward the wounded and have a hard time with setting limits with people. I wouldn't want to be anyone else, though. Thank you for the insightful article.
W o w. Thank. You.
I love this, I plan on doing loads of stuff, whatever I want really :) I told my healer that I was not just my job, he said I wasn't my job, period, which was a good point.
Wow, I feel like crying. I needed to read this post! Thank-you! Can I ask you a personal question (mostly because I'm a little lost at the moment)? What did or do you do for a living?
THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I needed this !
Thank you for posting this! I have noticed that I am drawn to emotionally wounded or damaged people. I just get an overpowering longing to understand them. These relationships always end in a wonderful and deep friendship, or a destructive and emotionally tiring friendship in which I find incredibly difficult to abandon. I am happy to know that I am not alone.
wow... this has actually helped me understand so many things that i even hated myself for.. thank you so much for this post!
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. When I read this I thought you were reaching into my soul and telling me exactly what I needed to hear. I felt like you wrote this about me. WOW, truly thank you!
I feel honoured to have read this. Thank you.
Thank you, this is something I needed to see. I feel like I'm beginning to realize all of these things on my own but it feels good to know that there are others who understand.
This explains so much to me. So glad you wrote it.
Wow, lots of good insights for us INFJs! No wonder your story has 19 votes, 20 now and counting! *winks*

RocketJump Declares Laser Tag War On Nerdist In Their Latest Video
By Merrill Barr on August 8, 2014
In case you missed the news, back during Comic-Con, Nerdist put on an amazing four days of laser tag fun at Petco Park with the assistance of 2K, Gearbox, and Borderlands The Pre-Sequel. Together, laser-based battle bliss was brought to the masses as attendees went up against the likes of the CM Punk, the cast of Sleepy Hollow, and even Chris Hardwick himself. But, there was one match that everyone was eagerly anticipating, and that's the one that went down between Nerdist and our office-mates over at Rocket Jump. However, one Rocket Jump employee got really into things, as seen in the first part of this new video from the site:
Oh Brian, always eating the wrong container of leftovers and starting wars with our closest neighbors. This is why we aren't allowed to enter the local Starbucks anymore either. And the taco place. And the mall.
As we wait for part two of this video to come out, we recommend you go back and view some of the videos from the laser tag fun like our time-lapse of the course construction, a montage of some of the game highlights, attendees reacting to the games and, of course, Moon Dance parties. The best kind of parties really.
We had a lot of fun during our laser tag event this year, and we hope you did too. We just pray no one got caught in the crossfire of our "grudge match" with Rocket Jump… that we totally smoked them at, by the way! Sorry guys. Still friends?
[…] week, we watched as Nerdist Editor-in-Chief Brian Walton accidentally sparked a war with our office mates, RocketJump. That war would culminate in the brawl to end all brawls atop Petco Park during this year's […]
[…] laser tag competitor, Nerdist or Rocket Jump. It started when our Editor in Chief, Brian Walton, ate the wrong box of leftovers from the communal fridge, but things really escalated when game time finally arrived. In the end, […]

Big Boi - She Said OK
Artist: Big Boi
Producer: Chris Carmouche
Album: Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 18 votes )
Why go through all the complex, time-consuming rigamarole of game-spitting, when you can just come out and ask directly? On this newly-released joint single, Big Boi and Theophilus London show us just how easy it can be: "Let me see your t*tties.. She Said OK." (Disclaimer: The DJBooth takes no responsibility for slapped faces or thrown drinks that may result from the use of this tactic.) Chris Carmouche handles production duties on this laid-back burner, layering flanged guitar riffs over slow-rolling percussion to eminently smooth effect as Sir Lucious and his Brooklyn-repping colleague deliver X-rated bars brimming with memorable one-liners: Theo informs a lucky lady that he's gonna "...play that cat like it was played by Santana, and General Patton says of his partner's oral skills, "My legs feel like Joe from Family Guy, 'cause she got insane head." No sex jam is complete without a steamy chorus, and ATL crooner Tre Luce proves perfectly suited to the job, complementing the co-headliners' bars with some downright pantry-dropping hook vocals. In addition to appearing on Big Boi's Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors LP, this record is set for inclusion on Theophilus London's Escape From Rose Island tape. Both projects remain unscheduled but, as always, fans can keep it locked for the latest.

Quite Island retreat
March 5, 2013
People on the island were fantastic, open and friendly. House was remotely located and quiet, it was like our own beach. The house was small but sufficient for simple living. The rest of the island is undeveloped with pristine beaches and opportunities to snorkle everywhere. Each day we would go to another beach to explore and enjoy the sun. We saw a total of ~30 people during the week on all of the beaches we went to, GREAT! The water was a bit cool but still could swim with no issues, the daytime temps were around 78F for highs. On the Atlantic side there was a constant onshore breeze which could be quite strong and would suggest for outside living going to the Carribean side. Would go back in a minute, excellent for relaxing.

Amazing Holiday
August 30, 2011
Waters edge villa is a wonderful home from home. Every detail has been thought about to make your stay as comfortable as possible and the location is just beautiful, with the beach just seconds away. Snorkelling heaven! We had an amazing holiday : the island, the people, the house. But a special mention must go to the owners Jim and Holly who, despite being in Chicago, were there on the end of the phone when we needed them. Thank you. Foster Family, England.
"Water Edge is a special place."
"We loved walking the deserted beaches during the day and watching the stars and cruise ships sail by at night."
"Lots of attention to detail...very comfortable, it felt like a home on the beach."

Sir Andre Geim and Sir Konstantin Novoselov get freedom of Manchester
Two Nobel Prize-winning scientists have been awarded the honorary freedom of Manchester for their work on developing a form of carbon material.
"Wonder material" graphene was isolated for the first time in 2004 by Sir Andre Geim and Sir Konstantin Novoselov at the University of Manchester.
It consists of a single layer of carbon atoms packed in a honeycomb structure.
Graphene, said to be stronger than steel, has helped improve products like smartphones, broadband and condoms.
What is graphene?
- Graphene is a form of carbon that exists as a sheet, one atom thick
- Atoms are arranged into a two-dimensional honeycomb structure
- Identification of graphene announced in October 2004
- About 100 times stronger than steel and conducts electricity better than copper
- About 1% of graphene mixed into plastics could turn them into electrical conductors
In 2010, the scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their research.
'Pantheon of giants'Councillor Naeem ul Hassan, Lord Mayor of Manchester, said: "It was a privilege to be able to present the freedom of the city to Sir Andre and Sir Kostya.
"Manchester is a city born of innovation so it is only right we recognise the achievements of Sir Andre and Sir Kostya, who have joined the pantheon of scientific giants connected to our forward-looking city."
Sir Andre described the move as a "great honour".
Sir Kostya said: "Manchester was home for the largest proportion of my most exciting experiments, and the local support we get is tremendous".
The five-floor National Graphene Institute (NGI) at the University of Manchester is due to open in 2015, creating 100 jobs.
The university said the £61m NGI will be the UK's "home of research" into graphene.

1 Thing
by Thrill
posted Jan 30 2013 5:32PM
According to a new study from the University of Tennessee, your first several experience determines how much you'll enjoy sex for the rest of your life. The long and short of it is this; people who had a positve experience their first time, reported more physical and emotional satisfaction from sex in the future than people who had a negative experience. Without conducting our own survey, we're pretty sure this theory holds true with many, many things. Look, I hate vegetables and I'm (very, very) often asked one of the most idiotic questions that can be asked; "why don't you like vegetables?" The simple answer is; 'because I can taste them'. Then there is the inevitable follow- up stupidity; "have you ever even tried _____?" Yes, dumb- ass, that's how I know that I don't like them. See how that works? We're willing to bet that's how MOST people discover that they like or dislike something, and with that truth in mind, today we wanted to know: AFTER TRYING _____, I KNOW FOR SURE THAT IT'S NOT FOR ME.
"Fat chicks"... not chubby or big boned or 'of larger carriage', but F A T. He gave it a go (I think we all have) but it wasn't for him
Smoking weed... follow along; he got stoned with friends (after 12/6/12, when it was legal) and went to the store and stole a bottle of Mountain Dew and Funyons... got caught and went to jail for shoplifting. Blames the weed.
Acid... tried it once and the trip lasted WAAAAYYYY too long. Incidentally, that's why I like acid; you get your money's worth
IPA's... Miles' favorite type of beer
Not being his own boss... as a result, he opened his own business
Rugby... she tried virtually every other sport under the Sun and enjoyed them enough, but rugby was not her cup of tea... it was, however, responsible for her bruised ribs
The "office environment"... didn't like dressing up and all that silliness
Sushi... unlike most people, he doesn't have a problem with the raw fish, it's the unique taste of dried seaweed that makes him wanna puke
The "Devil's 3- Way" (which is a ménage trois involving 2 men and 1 woman) and no longer chooses to hold a fart until he gets to a bathroom
Cheap booze... like most of us, cheap booze equals bad, bad, bad times
Meth... tried it a few times in the 80's, but saw how powerful it was
Surfing... I loved it, but I really didn't think I would
Sobriety... I have nothing against sobriety, I just happen to find it much less interesting
Celibacy... yea
OK bitches, I'm outtie, as they say.
Until tomorrow, I am the smoke in your eyes, so STAY BEAUTIFUL!"

eBay in latin america. Good market share. Country risk.
This is the Amazon/Ebay of Latin America. It may be volatile, but I think that over the long term this company is going to outperform in a big way.
The middle class is coming! First-mover advantage is proving to be a big deal for the ecommerce king of Latin America and that eBay still holds 18.5% of the shares is very telling indeed. Many ways to make their money and the model is working. Gotta be long this stock.
MercadoLibre works superbly on a free-market model growing in six Latin American countries. Intelligently, the company entered into a strategic alliance with eBay to keep one of the biggest players at bay. MercadoLibre has done very well in terms of both revenue and earnings in past seven years, including the recession years. The revenue stream is also diversified. The Internet penetration in Latin American countries is still less than 50% on average. Rising disposable income and a growing middle class provide huge scope of growth. The ROIC and net profit margin for the past five years have been 33% and 25%, respectively. So it can afford aggressive marketing if, in the future, new players enter the market. And there is a bonus: It pays small dividend! In spite of such an outstanding performance, the company is trading relatively cheap.
A bet on the economic growth of Central and South America.
Worth re-upping on this dip. Currency fluctuations come and go, the business is here to stay.
Growth opportunities in South America. Once their economies recover a bit, this stock will start to move up.
Latin America's e-bay. Top dog in industry. Excellent LTD/equity = 0.03, steady revenue growth, steady dividend increase. Victim of temporary capital flight from emerging markets. ~30% off high because of emerging market fears. Excellent chance to take advantage of emerging market fears. Invest while others are fearful.
The worst is priced into the stock.
Exchange rates have given us a discount on this growing company that continues to thrive.
MELI is sitting in a space without much competition and will continue to grow. The stock is primarily depressed on worries of currency fluctuation.
Why didn't I pick this company years ago when it was $15? This has tremendous potential over the next 20 years and I believe eBay still owns 19.5% of the company which should help future growth. Now I have to buy less shares at $95 per share. With proper guidance and management which I hope they do have, there is every reason to believe they will be huge in the future. Same thesis for PSMT by the way.
Stock is another eBay. Underperforming big time Not bad company.
A great business in a rapidly growing region of the world.
I missed eBay... not going to miss this one.
We've seen this play out before with eBay. Two great businesses here with low debt, very little capital expenditures and a well known brand.
near monopoly position; growth thru increased internet access in L.A.; temp drop due to currency valuation
MercadoLibre keeps getting referred to as "the Ebay of Latin America".
Just in case "they" are right, I ran a comparison of MELI with EBAY. I assumed MELI would mimic EBAY in as many ways as possible. Then I compared its valuation to its current market cap.
Long story short, MELI's valuation would be worth $23 billion once mature --- or roughly $518 per share. At today's price of $110, that's a boatload of upside.
Whether or not the prognostication is accurate, the message was clear that this stock should continue to be en fuego. Outperform.
(9/9/2013 on the RB boards)
This was kind of an interesting article that I reference just to keep things in perspective:
- e-commerce in Latin America (as a whole) will be approximately $69 billion this year
- e-commerce in the US will be approximately $200 billion this year
EBAY has a similar business model as MELI and sports a market cap today of $68 billion. The total e-commerce market in Latin America is roughly 1/3 that of the US.
IF MELI were to find a way to become "the EBAY of Latin America" (everyone's favorite saying these days) and mimic EBAY's operations in every way possible (% share of the total e-commerce market, % margins, etc), they could expect their fundamentals to be roughly 1/3 of EBAY's as well. Or, said another way, their top and bottom lines would be 1/3 as large.
And if the market applied the same valuation to MELI's fundamentals as they do to EBAY's, MELI could have a market cap ~ $23 billion (1/3 * $68b).
Based on today's market cap of $5.7b, that would imply a 300% upside -- or a potential price of $518 per MELI share.
I know that this analysis is simplistic and inherently flawed. And I'm happy to hear any thoughts/opinions/outspoken verbal attacks about my assumptions (one of the largest being that MELI could sell to all of Latin America). But my bottom line is that if MercadoLibre can continue to grow, the Latin American e-commerce market can support plenty of upside for them. $128/share could seem like nothing, a few years down the road.
Long MELI
Last quarter was a good one. Currency fluctuations make results look funky. Will continue to perform well in the future particularly with recovering world economy

there was no sparkle color was bad had alot of inclusions in diamond very disappointed
Remember, you are buying only one stud. The size was what I expected, and I knew the diamond quality wouldn't be great, but it was awful. Sent it back within the hour I received it. I found much better prices and diamond quality on other comparable sites
I was NOT expecting a VVS1 D Color stone, but when ths arrived the size of the occlusions in the stone was shocking. It looked as if a good drop would shatter the diamond. I returned the item moments after its arrival as this would barely pass for an industrial diamond much less something to wear.
First of all, to address all the negative reviews please realize this is an I/2-I3 stone. It is unrealistic to think you are going to receive a stone that is like the one pictured. However, overstock did a poor job when choosing that stone because it's obviously a flawless stone, unlike the one you will receive. Overstock was very clear when describing the color and clarity. I suppose they didn't want to show a particular stone because they do vary in clarity, which will also be difficult if you are going to try and match it with an existing stone that you own as a replacement earring I purchased the 2ct stone. I was well aware that it was going to come with inclusions, but I was actually pleasantly surprised. There was a light brown feather and some clouds but other than that it was beautiful! I think because I was expecting the worst and thinking I was going to need to make a return, it was such a pleasant surprise. I can not guarantee your stone will be as clear as mine, because as I previously stated they do vary, but it' s worth a shot! I purchased this single earring to actually have set for something else. I was thinking a pendant, but because my stone was so pretty I had it set as a engagement ring upgrade. I never thought I would have a 2ct engagement ring! Overall the price is fabulous, purchasing this stone and setting it myself though my jewelers has literally saved me thousands! I wish I could include a picture.
Instead of keeping for myself, I shall be sending them to my brother's daughter in CA as a Christmas gift.
These diamond stud earrings were so cloudy that they didn't even look like diamonds. I returned them sometime ago for a credit to my account.
I think that rather than using a generic diamond picture, there should have been a more accurate photo. It was not like the picture at all and has been returned.

BATF regulates the development and function of IL-17 producing iNKT cells
1 Department of Biological Sciences and Purdue University Center for Cancer Research, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA
2 Department of Biological Sciences, Hansen Life Sciences Research Building, Room 219, 201 South University Street, West Lafayette, IN, USA
BMC Immunology 2013, 14:16 doi:10.1186/1471-2172-14-16
Published: 27 March 2013Abstract
BATF plays important roles in the function of the immune system. Batf null mice are deficient in both CD4+ Th17 cells and T follicular helper cells and possess an intrinsic B cell defect that leads to the complete absence of class switched Ig. In this study, Tg mice overexpressing BATF in T cells were used together with Batf null mice to investigate how altering levels of BATF expression in T cells impacts the development and function of a recently characterized population of iNKT cells expressing IL-17 (iNKT-17).
BATF has a direct impact on IL-17 expression by iNKT cells. However, in contrast to the Th17 lineage where BATF activates IL-17 expression and leads to the expansion of the lineage, BATF overexpression restricts overall iNKT cell numbers while skewing the compartment in vivo and in vitro toward an iNKT-17 phenotype.
This work is the first to demonstrate that BATF joins RORγt as the molecular signature for all IL-17 producing cells in vivo and identifies BATF as a component of the nuclear protein network that could be targeted to regulate IL-17-mediated disease. Interestingly, these studies also reveal that while the Il17a gene is a common target for BATF regulation in Th17 and iNKT-17 cells, this regulation is accompanied by opposite effects on the growth and expansion of these two cell lineages.

You may not like it, but when you feel pain, your body is trying to tell you something. In most cases, it's to stop what you're doing. ("Ouch, that stove is hot!") That's why some pain is necessary and can prevent us from seriously injuring ourselves. But, at times, pain also can be intolerable, becoming constant and negatively impacting your quality of life.

Hull call off McCormack pursuit
Phil Brown admits Hull City's interest in Ross McCormack is cooling as the two clubs' valuations of the Cardiff City striker are "a million miles" apart.The Premier League club had an apparent £3.5m bid rejected by Cardiff for their 23-goal top scorer from last season. It was thought Hull boss Brown was to return with an improved offer for the Scottish international, 22. But Brown admits: "I'm not convinced they want to do business and, in that case, I'm not interested." So it seems Brown .... read more

3 Big Stocks Moving Up on Big Volume
Tesla Motors
Tesla Motors (TSLA - Get Report) designs, develops, manufactures and sells electric vehicles and advanced electric vehicle powertrain components. This stock is trading up 4.9% at $31.88 in recent trading.
Today's Volume: 1.8 million
Average Volume: 1.3 million
Volume % Change: 171% Shares of TSLA are moving sharply higher today after Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock to an overweight rating from an underweight rating, and raised its price target to $50 from $45. >>Stocks With Recent Analyst Upgrades From a technical perspective, TSLA is gapping up strong here back above its 200-day moving average of $31.05 and above some near-term overhead resistance at $31.30 with above-average volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in TSLA as long as it can maintain its trend above its 200-day at $31.05 with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above 1.3 million shares as bullish. If TSLA can hold that trend, then this stock has a great chance of re-testing or taking out its next major overhead resistance level at $36.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Upper Manistee River Restoration Project Report Released
January 19, 2015, 12:00 am
This report provides an overview of the Upper Manistee River Restoration project. Two overarching goals defined this project: Habitat restoration on the 1,720 acre Flowing Well Trout Farm property and replacement of the most severe, habitat degrading road/stream crossing on the Manistee River's North Branch on Mecum Road. Located in rural Kalkaska County in northern Michigan, this project was completed over a five year period with the help of many dedicated partners and funders. |
Little Betsie & Nessen Road Timber Bridge
December 19, 2014, 9:00 am
The Nessen road/stream crossing, site #B-12, was an aging concrete bottomless box structure approximately 7½ feet wide over the Little Betsie River. The extremely narrow width created an unnaturally large scour pool downstream and increased velocity flows at the outlet. In addition large amounts of gravel from the roadway were being inputted into the stream along with crumbling material from the structure itself. Through this project partners designed and completed the installation of a 14' wide, 22' span timber bridge that accommodates the natural stream channel and allows the natural movement of substrate, fish and wildlife. Paved approaches and spillways were incorporated to channel road runoff away from the stream as well. |
Off the Beaten Path
December 11, 2014, 9:00 am
A sizable portion of CRA's work takes place on road's less travelled. Our goal on these roads is keeping our rivers and streams flowing underneath them. We recently completed a small timber bridge on Bancroft Creek, a tributary to the Boardman River. Located on private land, this project is a great example of how to make land management decisions that benefit both the landowner and environment. |
Fischer Insurance Agency
December 8, 2014, 9:00 am
Understanding the needs of northern Michigan businesses, organizations and individuals is important for any insurance agency. Providing the excellent service, advice and the most appropriate coverage for every situation is a lofty goal to reach for. For the Fischer Insurance Agency, it's about more than these high benchmarks of success. |
The Big Picture in Benzie County
December 5, 2014, 12:00 am
Over the last six years, we've implemented three major phases of work in Benzie County. This is the first time we've condensed all these projects onto one map. CRA is proud to say this is some of the most effective work we've ever done in terms of having a high impact on our water and getting the most out of every dollar. You can see for yourself just how much work we've completed in these gorgeous rivers. |

You can find them at AnimeNation
i would most appreciate it if anyone out there can give me info on where i can find "Battle Angel"... ebay has it no longer , but when it did, auctions were going as high as $51.00 U.S. dollars. Does anybody have any idea on where, or what site i can find this anime (on dvd format)? Any information would be of great use. i love this manga, and if you have'nt seen it, i would recommend you watch it.
You can find them at AnimeNation
Coming soon.........
animenation.com,.net,.org? any other places, i like to compare
Just click the animenation. But for your though, it is .com
Coming soon.........
man... thats a great site, but they have manga not anime (dvd)for battle angel, which is what i was looking for. i am going to check that site for other cool stuff, thanks...
Grumble Grumble Grumble
ADV Films has the license for the 2 episode OVA Battle Angel series, but the DVD has been out of print since early 2001. It's going to be hard to find one on a store/website shelf somewhere.... You can always hope that ADV Films releases this as an Essential Anime Classic release...
FAVOURITE THREADS EXPLAIN why, or risk an infraction.Rantings of a Grouchy Old Anime Otaku
check out these sites too, rightstuf.com, houseofanime.com search around on yahoo because animenation is more mainstream and a big business so they tend to charge more

It's never a good idea to buy DVDs and such off Ebay, because half the time it's either bootlegged or DVD ripped.
When I bought my Yami DVDs, the seller claimed to me over and over that they were legit... but when I got them I found out that they were a DVD rip since the extras were missing.
Anyway. Animenation is a good site, whic has almost everything. I haven't shopped from this site personally since they don't really ship internationally.
One place I have shopped from is Glacier Bay DVD.
I can't remember the link but I'm sure you'll be able to find it from Goggle easily enough. They are pretty cheap, relaible... and will ship to just about anywhere in the world.

Honors in the Major
Honors in the Major is a program of independent work in your major. It involves 6 units of honors course work completed over two semesters.
Your Honors work will be recognized at your graduation, on your permanent transcripts, and on your diploma. It is often accompanied by letters of commendation from your mentor in the department or the department chair. Most importantly, however, the Honors in the Major program allows you to work closely with a faculty mentor in your area of interest on an original performance or research project. This year-long collaboration allows you to work in your field at a professional level and culminates in a public presentation of your work. Students sometimes take their projects beyond the university for submission in professional journals, presentation at conferences, or competition in shows; such experience is valuable for graduate school and later professional life.
Some common features of Honors in the Major program are
1. You must take 6 units of Honors in the Major course work. At least 3 of these 6 units are independent study (499H) as specified by your department. You must complete each class with a minimum grade of B. 2. You must have completed 9 units of upper-division course work or 21 overall units in your major before you can be admitted to Honors in the Major. Check the requirements carefully, as there may be specific courses that must be included in these units. 3. Your cumulative GPA should be at least 3.5 or within the top 5 percent of majors in your department. 4. Your GPA in your major should be at least 3.5 or within the top 5 percent of majors in your department. 5. Most students apply for or are invited to participate in Honors in the Major during the second semester of their junior year. Then they complete the 6 units of course work over the two semesters of their senior year. 6. Your honors work culminates with a public presentation of your Honors project.
While Honors in the Major is part of the Honors Program, each department administers its own program. Please contact your major department or major adviser for further information.

Steamed Arctic Char with Soy, Crispy Garlic, and Chiles
This lovely recipe for steamed arctic char is courtesy of Pete Evans and can be found in "My Table: Food for Entertaining."
- Servings: 4
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, February Winter 2009
- 6 scallions, julienned, green and white parts separated
- 4 (6-ounce) skinless arctic char fillets, scaled and gutted
- 1/2 cup shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
- 1/2 cup light soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons julienned ginger
- Peanut oil
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 long red chiles, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons Asian-style chile sauce
- 20 fresh cilantro leaves
- 8 lime wedges
- Steamed white rice, for serving
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place green scallion pieces in a bowl of cold water and transfer to refrigerator until ready to use.
Place fish in an even layer in a baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together rice wine and soy sauce; pour over fish. Sprinkle white scallion pieces and ginger over fish, cover baking dish with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil, and transfer to oven. Cook until fish is cooked through but still moist, about 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil to a depth of 2 inches in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and chiles and cook until golden and crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic and chiles to a paper towel-lined place to drain.
Remove fish from oven and drizzle chile sauce over fish. Drain green scallion pieces and sprinkle over fish along with cilantro, garlic, and chiles. Serve immediately with lime wedges and rice.

NFL ought to shut off Thursday night lights
NFL ought to shut off Thursday night lights because of roughness
By Mike Prisuta TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, December 24, 2006 Thursday Night Football is just such a miscalculation. It goes beyond the inept play-by-play calling of Bryant Gumbel and the amateurish quality of the overall production. It threatens the league's product integrity, something the NFL should be determined to protect at any and all cost. Steelers coach Bill Cowher said it best prior to the Steelers' hosting the Cleveland Browns on Dec. 7 when he observed coaches weren't "consulted" about playing on Thursday nights, they were "consoled." They'd never agree to such a thing, they'd be a unanimous 32-0 against had someone put playing on Thursday nights to a vote. Coaches appreciate better than anyone how incredibly difficult it is to gameplan and prepare on a short week, particularly for the team that has to travel. If they had their way, they'd never play at any time other than 1 p.m. Sunday. They already view the occasional Monday night or late-season Saturday appearance as an inconvenience. Thursday nights are above and beyond the call. Thanksgiving is one thing. That was a tradition that used to be exclusive to Detroit until Dallas decided it had to have its piece of the Thanksgiving action. The third game added on Thanksgiving this year -- the NFL Network's debut in displaying, for the few who happen to be fortunate enough to have access, how not to televise the sport -- was unnecessary but understandable. After all, what's Thanksgiving about if not gorging? Thursday nights in the weeks thereafter are over the edge, particularly at a time of the season when the wear and tear of the game is beginning to impact individual and collective performance, and players need every minute of rest and rehab they can get. Yes, they get extra time off the following week. And yes, both teams must deal with a disruption of routine. But that doesn't mean the quality of play doesn't also suffer. The NFL is supposed to be about competitive balance. Now, it risks not only its mission statement but also its ability to provide compelling, must-see TV. Compelling TV drives the league. An excess of something less isn't in the best interest of anyone involved. Selling as much is as arrogant as it is ill-advised. The NFL Network has its place as the league moves forward. It's perfect for the zealots who can't get enough of those Sunday morning pregame and analysis-type shows. The truly disturbed can also check out coaches' press conferences and scouting combine workouts. And there will always be an audience for condensed games and NFL Films archives. But too much of anything is never a good thing. In going to Thursday nights, the NFL has gone too far. |

Well, amid the "tactical" craze, I decided to pick one of these up. It's a nice enough little unit. I like it, but I'm still wondering if I shouldn't have picked up another 10/22. Time will tell. I've put about 200 rounds though it so far and it shoots great. It looks nice, feels ok. Breaking it down is a huge PITA, but hopefully that won't have to be done too often. Here's some pictures...

Bought one for my son. It's a fun inexpensive rifle. It's so light, he can bumper fire it off his hip
