Beautiful faces are the only faces that get a chance to appear on magazine covers or in movies where high school seems fun. Get starlet fever with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $39 for a SkinMedica signature facial (up to an $80 value)
- $54 for a microdermabrasion treatment (up to a $100 value)
- $99 for a Vitalize peel (up to a $150 value)
After hosting a complimentary skin analysis to determine the best SkinMedica products to use, the medical aesthetician kicks off the SkinMedica signature facial by deeply cleansing each client's face with steam and exfoliating it. The skincare expert then gently massages the face and neck before coating the face in a custom mask and a hydration serum.
The SkinMedica Vitalize peel, on the other hand, uses a blend of mild acids to help reduce the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, and acne scarring with minimal down time. Recovery time varies, and may take up to 5 days. Although not included, the post-procedure kit is recommended for best results post-treatment. Alternatively, microdermabrasion treatments slough away dead skin cells with a stream of exfoliants and vacuum-like suction, stimulating collagen and diminishing the prominence of fine lines and hyperpigmentation.

Female foeticide in India
By Alka Gupta Eligible Jat boys from Haryana travel 3,000 km across the country to find themselves a bride. With increasingly fewer girls in Haryana, they are seeking brides from as far away as Kerala as the only way to change their single status. This is only the tip of the demographic and social problems confronting India in the coming years. Skewed sex ratios have moved beyond the states of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh. With news of increasing number of female foetuses being aborted from Orissa to Bangalore there is ample evidence to suggest that the next census will reveal a further fall in child sex ratios throughout the country. The decline in child sex ratio in India is evident by comparing the census figures. In 1991, the figure was 947 girls to 1000 boys. Ten years later it had fallen to 927 girls for 1000 boys. Since 1991, 80% of districts in India have recorded a declining sex ratio with the state of Punjab being the worst. States like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana have recorded a more than 50 point decline in the child sex ratio in this period. Despite these horrific numbers, foetal sex determination and sex selective abortion by unethical medical professionals has today grown into a Rs. 1,000 crore industry (US$ 244 million). Social discrimination against women, already entrenched in Indian society, has been spurred on by technological developments that today allow mobile sex selection clinics to drive into almost any village or neighbourhood unchecked. The PCPNDT Act 1994 (Preconception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques Act) was modified in 2003 to target the medical profession - the 'supply side' of the practice of sex selection. However non implementation of the Act has been the biggest failing of the campaign against sex selection According to the latest data available till May 2006, as many as 22 out of 35 states in India had not reported a single case of violation of the act since it came into force. Delhi reported the largest number of violations – 76 out of which 69 were cases of non registration of birth! Punjab had 67 cases and Gujarat 57 cases. But the battle rages on. In a recent landmark judgment the Mumbai High Court upheld an amendment to the PCPNDT Act banning sex selection treatment. The Court pronounced that pre natal sex determination would be as good as female foeticide. Pre-conception sex determination violated a woman's right to live and was against the Constitution, it said. While the boys from Haryana may have found a temporary solution to the problem of missing brides, experts warn that the demographic crisis will lead to increasing sexual violence and abuse against women and female children, trafficking, increasing number of child marriages, increasing maternal deaths due to abortions and early marriages and increase in practices like polyandry. There have been only two convictions -- a fine of 300 rupees ($7) and another fine of 4,000 rupees ($98) -- from over 400 cases lodged under the Pre-conception and Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques Act. Bringing about changes in the demand for sex determination is a long process and has to be tackled through women's education and empowerment including the right to property and land rights. States in the North East and in Kerala where women have these rights show a comparatively better sex ratio. The battle against sex selection has proved to be long drawn out. But some signs are visible that demonstrate that the fight can be won. Lakhanpal, a small village in Punjab has turned the tide of male births for the first time. In a state that has the lowest sex ratio in the country, the village boasts of 1,400 girls for every 1000 boys. Licenses of 91 centres were cancelled. 83 machines were seized and 71 released after an undertaking and fine. Three suppliers were prosecuted for supplying machines to clinics with no registration licenses. External links open in a new window and take you to a non-UNICEF web site.

Veracity, the veracity of your statement is suspect:

heard of "constant diameter curves" ?

Blake calls for show of faith
Under-19 boss Noel Blake believes England's top clubs need to start giving youngsters more chances - and cites Phil Jones as a prime example. Grass roots football has once again risen to the fore in the wake of England's lacklustre showing at the 2010 World Cup. There is a fear that the national side will continue to go backwards until something is done about the dwindling number of promising players given a chance at the highest level. Too many sides towards the top of the English game prefer to look abroad for ready-made talent rather than dip into their academy ranks for stars of the future. Other nations have proven that taking a gamble on youth team stars can pay dividends, with the showings of Thomas Muller at the World Cup justifying the faith shown in him by domestic employers Bayern Munich. Blake feels it is about time England started to follow the lead of countries such as Germany, or face the prospect of sliding further out of contention on the world stage. "Ultimately it has something to do with (players) getting games in the Premier League," he said in The Times. "There is a pathway but if that is blocked, where then do you go? Historically we get lads to a certain stage then at 18, 19, 20 there is a back-turn. "A good example for me is Phil Jones at Blackburn Rovers. Sam Allardyce has put him in the team, a 1992 birth, and he's been fast-tracked to the U21s. "But if Sam hadn't given Jones the opportunity to play against the likes of (Didier) Drogba then we wouldn't have seen everything he's capable of. The pathway needed to be there. Manchester United have always brought young players in. "Years ago there used to be a very good reserve-team league, now it's not taken seriously. Sometimes we have a responsibility to football, not just to one club. "I'll probably be shot down for saying that but if you go to Germany, they'll tell you that they're not just producing footballers for their club, they're producing for the country."

By Bobbi Palmer
You may have come out of a loveless, sexless marriage that lasted way too many years. Or maybe you once led a sexually fulfilling lifestyle and have since stopped doing so because you haven't had a steady relationship in your life. Maybe menopause has slowed you down.
Regardless, pleasuring yourself is a positive, healthy activity that I recommend you consider. If you're not already partaking on a somewhat regular basis, maybe it's time to explore the possibility. This might hold the answer to getting yourself excited about intimacy again. It can improve your spirits. It can help you relax and give you confidence. Oh…and it can feel great!
If you've never looked into adult products (aka sex toys), you may be completely shocked at the ways in which they can enhance your sexual and sensual experiences. Not only does using adult products help you during your lulls, but many men find incorporating sex toys into their love making a real turn on.
You're reading this, so I know that you're working on creating your best life possible so you can attract that special man. Being sexual and sensual is a big part of this. I challenge you to jump start your sex life now, even if the man of your dreams hasn't appeared yet. He will; and when he does, you will be ready to enjoy all the elements of a fulfilling relationship!

Why Did Hamas Provoke a War?
The current battles between Israel and Hamas were provoked by Hamas. Why?
When increased levels of rocket fire began about a week ago, Israeli prime minister Netanyahu responded with restraint. He sent clear messages to Hamas in public statements, and via Turkey, Jordan, and Egypt, that he wanted no war, and no incursion into Gaza; if the rocket attacks ended, this confrontation would be over.

So I think I can safely assume 50% plus of you like minded folks have loving AMC's Walking Dead. Who isn't, right? Oh yeah, them.... So I think it's pretty obvious the one guy who has his SHTF self together is Daryl Dixon, played by Norman Reedus of Boondock Saints' Fame. He's grizzled, he's uncouth, dirty, and completely the guy who seems perfectly well grounded and NOT a drama bomb, right? So obviously the silent crossbow is the perfect stealth weapon and we all need one, right?!?! Okay, maybe it's only me. But because all my FTF Friends know I have a research case of OCD that can't be easily satisfied, I give you my latest find and the reasons why.The Stryker Crossbow Now while the TAC-15 is on everyone's That's Cool list, it's big, it's awkward and it takes a hand crank to reload instead of traditional foot in frame and tether found in every other crossbow out there. The Stryker will throw Heavy bolts, 385 grain broadhead hunters, at upwards of 350fps! That is a Zombie Slayer right there folks, and at half the price of the TAC-15. Now, as you all know I don't like to rush after bleeding edge tech, this company is dealing with some production issues at the moment, but the warranty repairs are being reported as very positive. This is good. After all, we have until Dec. 21st, 2012, or sooner if BO is elected again, so take some time, earmark a piece of that tax return or year end bonus, if you are lucky enough. Give it a serious look, I think you will like the features and the reduced weight. Daryl would definitely approve. JD

wow. how wierd that i was pondering the same thing this week. would a crossbow be a good thing to have around. well i think i will start looking and learning thats for sure
That looks as though it could be quite fun. Bring on the pumpkins and watermelons.
DON'T BUY DELL!!!!! BEWARE!!! The toes you step on today may be connected to the ass you kiss tomorrow. PM Tango about his upcoming SHARTFOO courses.
J.D.,I'll just stick with my Horton Vision 175.I really like this crossbow. If we had anything to hunt,damn drought,I was going to use it for archery season this year but no deer around. Maybe I'll get to try it out on some hogs in a couple weeks,we went out Sunday nite,but I wanted to break in the 458 SOCOM on them first.But once again,none were seen.
I love the idea of cross bows for zombie hunting, if you ever look at the guys bolt when it's loaded into the crossbow it's sitting on top of the string... glade to see they thing about safety.

I don't have cable to I'm not lucky enough to actually get to watch Walking Dead except when I'm in the gym on a treadmill or something... The crossbow has been on my want list for quite some time but up til a year or so ago you couldn't hunt with them here in NC. The year after I bought my first bow that law changed....All I know is Halloween is over and there are a number of pumpkins that need slaying!!

I think they're a great idea, but rapid follow up shots are off the table. That's the deal breaker for me.

I think the Republicans know they overreached this time with the contraceptive debate and the Blunt Amendment. But being a Republican means never having to say you're sorry. You obfuscate, you reframe the debate into something more favorable to you, you dismiss the concerns of the majority of Americans, but you never, ever say you're sorry.

FACE Investigation # 03WI020
Youth Newspaper Carrier Dies after Being Struck by an Automobile While Delivering Newspapers on a Bicycle
On March 25, 2003, a 12-year-old youth died when he was delivering newspapers on his bicycle and was hit by a car. The victim was crossing a highway after coming out of a driveway to cross a busy street. The incident occurred across the street from a day-care center. One of the day-care workers was outside and saw the youth fly off the bike after being hit by the car. The day-care supervisor called EMS. The emergency responders arrived within one minute and the boy was transported to the hospital. He died late the following morning.In order to prevent future similar occurrences, the FACE Program recommends
that employers should:
On March 25, 2003, a 12-year-old youth died when he was delivering newspapers on his bicycle and was hit by a car. The FACE Program learned about the death of the youth from the death certificate on April 1, 2003. The police and coroner reports were reviewed and the FACE Investigator met with two representatives of the employer on December 4, 2003. They were unfamiliar with the details of the incident and had not seen the victim the day the incident occurred. The FACE Investigator interviewed the supervisor at the day-care via telephone in March 2004.
The employer delivers 6500-6700 newspapers daily. The newspaper employs about 100 employees and conducts 37 city routes and 4-5 motor routes. About 25 carriers are between the ages of 12-18. The average age is 14.
The victim worked for the newspaper about 1½ months before the incident. He had 25-30 delivery sites and worked 6 days a week, which was an average of 3 hours per week. The victim was out of school about 2-2:30 PM and was usually done with his route between 3:30-3:45 P.M.
Prior to beginning work, the youth had obtained the state-required work permit. The school, the employer, the employee and the state retained copies of that permit. As company policy, all youth and their parents met with the employer and the parents would also sign the permit.
The employer held orientation with the parents and the youth so that both would be fully aware of the responsibilities expected by the employer and also have an opportunity to give their input. When youth are first hired, rules about safety are stressed with them. Wearing a helmet is suggested, but because they are considered independent contractors, the employer states they have not required the use of helmets. The employer also stresses wearing reflective clothing, watching for traffic whether on foot or on a bicycle, and how to handle deliveries where a dog is present, or where the driveways are icy and not cleared. A monthly newsletter that always includes safety tips is sent to the carriers.
The day of the incident was described as sunny and bright with dry conditions.
The day of the incident the victim was on his usual route and had worked about ½ hour. A usual route took about 30-45 minutes. He started late the day of the incident and had a few papers left to deliver. The incident occurred at 4:07 P.M. The employer did not believe that he was hurrying and described the victim as conscientious, bubbly and easy to supervise.
The victim was a couple blocks from his home and was traveling south on his bicycle from a driveway on the north side of an east-west street. It is unknown which direction he intended to travel when he reached the street. At the time he entered the street, a westbound vehicle struck his bicycle and the victim was thrown into the air. He landed in front of the auto. The driver of the car was facing the sun, but was unable to recall if it was blinding. The victim was wearing a tee shirt and no jacket, pants and tennis shoes. He was not wearing a bicycle helmet. While it was determined that the victim was traveling between ten to fifteen miles per hour and the driver was traveling between 27-36 miles per hour, the victim was thrown approximately 100 feet upon impact. The driver stopped. (Figure 1)
Figure 1. Diagram of Incident Location |
The day-care worker was outside on the playground across the street and saw the victim fly through the air. She ran inside and told her supervisor what she had witnessed. The supervisor dialed EMS, and told the worker to talk with the EMS contact. The day-care center supervisor ran to the scene while the worker talked with EMS and gave step-by- step instructions from EMS to the day-care supervisor. The day-care supervisor began CPR. The responders were on the scene within a minute and transported the victim to the hospital.
Following the care of the victim, the day care center supervisor went to check on the driver. Because the driver was not responding well to the supervisor, the supervisor feared she was going into shock and reported it immediately to one of the police officers. The officer contacted a rescue unit. The unit arrived to assist the driver.
One of the police officers took the bicycle to a bike shop to be checked. While the bike was quite damaged, the bike shop owner was able to establish that the brakes were working fine at the time of the incident.
Cause Of Death
The official cause of death was traumatic head injuries due to a bicycle and automobile crash.
Recommendation #1: Require all carriers delivering from a bicycle to wear an approved bicycle helmet.
Discussion: According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, seventy-five percent of all bicycle fatalities involve head injuries. While the helmet cannot prevent an incident, it can save a life. Although in this case the employer felt they could not require carriers to wear a helmet because they are considered independent contractors. Those helmet requirements could be written into the contract with each contracted employee.
Recommendation #2: Require participation at initial and periodic (monthly or
quarterly) safety meeting for news carriers and if they are minors, encourage
parents to attend.
Discussion: Scheduling the safety meetings within the communities where the carriers live will make participation more feasible. Include, but do not limit the safety training to bicycle safety. Topics such as the traffic laws, signs and signals that must be obeyed, and what it means to be predictable, be visible and how to ride defensively should be included in the training. In this case, the victim entered a busy street from a driveway located several feet away from a side street and a crosswalk.
Recommendation #3: Emphasize safe bicycling to carriers and families by including
tips at least 1-2 times a year in the monthly newsletter for carriers.
Discussion: Bicycle safety and safety measures discussed during the initial orientation and subsequent periodic meetings should be reiterated. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation recommends the following:
Bicycle and Traffic Safety
Wisconsin Fatal Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program
Staff members of the FACE Project of the Wisconsin Division of Public Health, Bureau of Occupational Health, conduct FACE investigations when a machine-related, youth worker, Hispanic worker, highway work-zone death, farmers with disabilities or cultural and faith-based communities work-related fatality is reported. The goal of these investigations is to prevent fatal work injuries studying: the working environment, the worker, the task the worker was performing, the tools the worker was using, the energy exchange resulting in fatal injury and the role of management in controlling how these factors interact.
To contact Wisconsin State FACE program personnel regarding State-based FACE reports, please use information listed on the Contact Sheet on the NIOSH FACE web site. Please contact In-house FACE program personnel regarding In-house FACE reports and to gain assistance when State-FACE program personnel cannot be reached.

I have had it. I have fucking had it. I can take no more of a particular form of "Arts" that swarms DeviantART like a herd of poorly-drawn cattle. Tracing, re-coloring, using bases, all of them are things that make you an artist, much like how microwaving an already cooked pizza makes you a culinary expert. This has to stop, seriously.
Were shall I begin? Why don't we start with tracing already existing art? Tracing is the laziest, cheapest way to make something. It's unoriginal, talentless, and is also stealing. People often resort to tracing when they cannot draw well themselves, which is just an excuse. Making art requires practice; not all of it is pure, raw talent. I honestly would much rather see someone's poorly drawn, yet original Frieza, with original pose and concept, then someone's traced art from the cover of Budokai Tenkaichi 2.
Now, let me make something clear: there is a difference between using a reference, and tracing. Using references is looking at something, for, well... reference, while you're drawing. It helps to make sure you're drawing anatomy/shading/etc. correctly. Artists use references all the time, be it for trees, people, animals, or fictional characters. Why else are they outside and painting? Tracing, on the other hand, is copying already existing artwork or objects, making sure it's exactly the same. It's easy to do, and requires no skill what-so-ever, and therefore, it's lazy.
Tracing prints of official art for Bleach or Naruto doesn't make you an artist, you dumb-fucks. It just shows us that you're immature and uninspired. Learn to practice drawing shit yourself.
Next, let's go to Re-coloring. I'm sure you already know what it is, but for those of you who don't Re-coloring is taking already existing art and coloring over it with programs like MS Paint or Photoshop, or printing it and altering it with markers, to make a "new" image that's "yours". I'm sure you've seen Sonic Re-colors before, red Sonics with poorly added black bangs, earrings, and darkened shoes made by irritating 13-year olds.
It's just as bad as tracing, and for the same exact reasons; It's lazy, talentless, and stealing the original artist's hard work. Seriously, if you're too fucking lazy to draw your purple Tails, then fuck you, and get the fuck off of DeviantART.
And, finally, there's using bases. If you don't know what bases are, bases are pre-made poses and frames for people to deliberately use and color on. This is annoying as well, because it also requires minimal effort, and therefore, cheap. Plus, they look ugly as hell, especially when the doll base looks better than the crudely drawn hair and clothes attached to it. Use your imagination! Try to make your OWN poses!
So, this concludes my rant. Please, practice drawing things yourself if you aspire to be a great artist. Your not going to go anywhere in the art community with a portfolio filled with traced Lucky Star pictures and re-colored Sonics.

Go on, take a risk
I recently listened to "Wear Sunscreen," a song that was created from the text of an article written by Mary Schmich. There are many profound pieces of advice within it, and one of those is, "do one thing every day that scares you." As a somewhat risk-adverse individual, I used to dismiss that particular piece […]

I plan on doing a recipe that calls for unmalted wheat that I purchased at my LHBS yesterday. I'm trying to enter the grain bill into beersmith. Is there another name for unmalted wheat? Thanks
I would rather be tried by twelve than carried by six.
isn't just plan "wheat" unmalted wheat or maybe "wheat flakes"?
In BeerSmith you can add grains to the list. It's very easy. Dr Malt

PvP Boot Camp: An Exciting Update
Dear Fellow PvP Players:
I am thrilled to share that Brandon has contacted me expressing great interest in helping Boot Camp develop. Brandon and I are in agreement that this should be a community-wide project and involve as many people as want to participate.
For my part, I am currently putting together a semi-formal proposal that Brandon will circulate to the developers whose work overlaps with PvP.
While I work on this front, then, I need help from you in filling a few roles:
- Advertisers: possible jobs include creating a Boot Camp logo, contacting various podcast organizations/blogs, etc.
- Coaches: main job will be to teach new players who attend the Boot Camp sessions.
- Organizers: possible jobs include working with technology logistics, administration, etc.
Some of you have already indicated interest in some of these areas in the previous
, and there is no need for you to do so again. Once this list begins to fill out, I will post it in the forums.
Indicate which role you are interested in a response below. Also, if there is a role you would like to fill but that is not found in the list above, please just say as much in your response.
Fellow players, this is an incredible, grass-roots opportunity for us to partner with the devs to improve the quality of PvP.

A Pakistani militant of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) has succeeded in escaping from the heavily cordoned Ahmednagar periphery of the capital city — yards away from the house where Hizbul Mujahideen's "Chief Commander Operations" Ghulam Rasool Dar alias Riyaz Rasool was captured before his death in an alleged fake encounter at Shalteng on January 16, 2004 — but not before leaving behind evidence of the planning of a hig- profile fidayeen attack on Srinagar Airport.
Sources revealed to The Hindu that the lone militant, who engaged the Police and the CRPF in a gunbattle for several hours, escaped from his hideout at 3.45 a.m. on Thursday. "He fired indiscriminately and vanished into the posh locality overlooking the Anchar Lake. As his cellphone is continuously switched off, we have no clue of his whereabouts," admitted an official associated with the overnight operation.
Bashir Ahmad, the owner of the cottage hideout housing rows of Pashmeena yarn handlooms, was taken into custody and questioned rigorously. From a sequence of evidences, that include Bashir's disclosures, recoveries from the premises and a trail of human and technological intelligence, it was made clear that the 20-year-old militant was part of a four-member fidayeen group.
"With the help of a Kashmiri guide, the four militants had planned to reach Srinagar from Handwara, one after another, in the next few days. Our sources tipped off his presence as soon as the first militant arrived on Wednesday. We immediately launched the operation," said an official about the first gunfight at Ahmednagar since 2003. He said that after their reunion at Ahmednagar, the militants had planned to strike one of the three critical targets "within the first fortnight of October."
Lashkar recce
Sources said that the LeT had lately carried out reconnaissance survey of the three most sensitive installations — Srinagar Airport and the entrance of the Civil Secretariat and Legislature Complex being two of them.
"After Bemina [March 14] and Hiranagar-Samba [September 26], this could have been the third major fidayeen attack. They will continue to attempt but we will continue to foil their plans," said a senior Police official.
