At the age of 36, after a decade of marriage and two children, I finally received my first condom demonstration; I finally knew how to put a condom on correctly.
'Praise God, praise God, praise God,' I whispered, my eyes shut tight.
I loved this. You are so right. The sad truth is no one taught most of our men anything. Most of them were not even taught how to be men so they picked up fragments from any mirage of a man they saw. What is even sadder is that women are supposed to live with their ignorance, be quiet and "endure". Maybe we can be the first generation to break the silence for the benefit of our future generations.ReplyDelete
Maybe we can (that's an inspiring thought). After filing for divorce, I remember saying to a friend that I'm either a 'pioneer' or the worst sinner on earth. I suppose I'm a bit of both (divorce or no divorce). The sadder truth (referring to what you've said) is that I find many men are willing to learn (at least the young men in my Sunday School class), but teachers (or, I guess visionaries with a burden for men) are lacking.ReplyDelete

I really enjoyed the bronzer in this product more than the blush! And I bought it for the blush! The bronzer is really pretty! I like the blush too, but I think it's a bit peach for my skin tone I would buy it again if i ran out.

Though Orgasm is a gorgeous blush, Laguna makes me not like this duo so much. It looks too orange for my skin(nw10-15), so it's not of much use. It's also a bit expensive :( I'll be keeping this for the Orgasm blush but won't be using Laguna much anymore.

...doesnt elf have the same thing for $3? I promise. It's an exact dupe, just about the same amount of product (I think), and the packaging is even the same.

I would only purchase this again if it were from Ebay...it's definitely pricey for me, but I'm so glad that I got it. Laguna is just dark enough for me where it won't look dirty for my contour and Orgasm...wowzers. Just the name says it all! The pink is juuuust right for me with a light hand. Too much is quite too hot for my taste. I definitely recommend this and am glad that I saw it so highly recommended here first.

Great Blush and Bronzer Duo. Orgasm was a nice pinky color with some shimmer. You could put it on lightly or add on to make it more intense. I liked that it was a Duo and came with the Laguna Bronzer, it was extremely versatile i didnt have to go searching for a bronzer to use. It was a bit pricey i believe $35+ i think that was the only Con.
Although this product was great i did end up returning it because i didnt use it that much (i had another pink blush) so it ended up just sitting in my makeup drawer collecting dust. So i thought i would return it and get something i that i could use more :)

Ok, now I see what all the fuss is about. I have not only resisted buying this, but quite frankly, been uninterested until recently. It's because I ended up buying a few items from ELF, including the dupe of this, which I loved. Then I bought this and Super Orgasm. Orgasm really makes you just look gorgeous. And Laguna to compliment this, wow. I use Laguna swept over my cheeks lightly, then followed with a dusting of Orgasm on top. Then I use Laguna as a contour. It really makes you look sunkissed and summery. It's really worth the money, however I will say that the ELF version really is an almost exact dupe.

Very pretty and pigmented. Good, secure packaging, I just prefer it shinier. Ridiculously expensive and yes, I understand it's NARS but whatever. It's really not a lot better quality than any bronzer or blush I've tried. Then again, I haven't tried drug store blush or bronzer. It's pretty but I think there are many more pretty blushes/bronzers so you don't need to get this one. I bought it because it was the latest fad and I wear it a lot but it's not THAT special. I would buy something else that's cheaper and it will be just as pretty. Or be like me a succumb to peer pressure. Your choice, haha.

bronzer laguna is a perfect browny bronzer for NC 42 skin. I love the orgasm blush--please see my separate review on this. This is a perfect duo and I would definitely repurchase. The bronzer is not orangey or pinky (like clinique bronzers). I enjoy using this duo. Don't be put off by the gold glimmer because it does not show up on the skin!! Also, I have acne prone skin and it does not break me out!! hope this review was helpful.

Count me in as another fan of NARS Laguna bronzer! I've joined the train of "in-the-know" bronzers. Growing up and experimenting with makeup in the '90's, I had no idea how important bronzer is. Bought this bronzer based on countless raving reviews on YouTube and MakeupAlley.
Yes, it gives your skin a beautiful glow and is great for contouring. My skin goes the full range: deathly pale to a very deep, olive tone tan and this bronzer works with any color I happen to be and and working with on any given day. I've also used it with spray-tanned skin and it works wonders.
Laguna will give you a brown based glow....just make sure to build up the color and use it sparingly. This duo will last a long time. I've experimented using different brushes and the best one to use is the large stipling brush from MAC. Based on prior reviews, yes, Laguna will go on very muddy brown if you use the wrong brush to apply it, so watch out.
I tested the bronzer out on my sis and she's hooked as well. Went out and bought it as well as a brush right away. I'm lukewarm on Orgasm blush. It's too light a peachy pink for me to use regularly, but I sometimes will use it when the mood for a sun-kissed glow look strikes.
And after you try this out....head out and prepare for the compliments you'll get. Laguna makes that much of a difference in a makeup look.

FGCU relishing chance for 1st NCAA moment
VCU and Duke both rolled to easy home wins. Miami went into Fort Myers and lost 63-51.
The Hurricanes are a No. 2 seed in the NCAAs, just like Georgetown.
And Miami coach Jim Larranaga might have a word of warning for the Hoyas.
"The expression, `they had nothing to lose and everything to gain' - very, very true," Larranaga said. "My experience in the NCAA tournament is this: The higher seeds have to play just as well in the early rounds as they think they might have to play if they got to the Final Four. Because if you don't, that team you're playing can beat you. They're in the NCAA tournament for a reason. ... And especially the underdog, they don't feel any pressure at all."
Well, the Eagles would argue that last point. They feel pressure. They just don't show it that often.
Enfield likes to run high-energy, sometimes high-comedy practices. His team is encouraged to be loose, which has clearly helped camaraderie. But when it's game time, the moods must get serious.
It's a formula that might not work for every team, but it does for the Eagles.
"We're enjoying it," said senior guard Sherwood Brown, the team's leading scorer. "But we have bigger goals than just getting here."
A year ago, with a sub-.500 record, the Eagles got to the Atlantic Sun title game in their first try, held a halftime lead before letting the game slip away. It fueled them throughout this season, carrying them through both the good times and the rough patches.
"We know we have nothing to lose," Brown said.
The Eagles were the first team to officially clinch a spot in the field of 68, and by tip-off Friday night they will have spent nearly two weeks sitting around, getting healthy and getting ready.
Enfield isn't worried about rust. His approach, he said, hasn't changed during this layoff.
"We have to do the things necessary in our game plan," Enfield said. "We don't have to play a perfect game against Georgetown but we have to play well. And I've told them, `Hey, if you're good enough to beat Georgetown, you will. If not, they'll win the game.' We try to keep it pretty simple around here."

Customer Reviews
Gyoza skins are small round wheat flour forms rolled incredibly thin and cut to 3 ½ inches in diameter. They can be used for making dumplings, pot stickers and other filled noodle dishes.
The filled pasta is an icon of international cuisine, each country, and sometimes even each city has its own unique recipe, spin or preparation of these small dumplings. In Asian cooking, this concept is especially popular and examples range from spring rolls, to wontons to pot stickers and dumplings.
Each preparation has its own shell and gyoza wrappers are primarily used to create dumplings, which can then pre prepared in a variety of ways. Gyozas can be steamed, boiled or used for making pot stickers. Pot stickers are made by adding raw formed dumplings to a hot lightly oiled or dry pan. The dumplings adhere or 'stick' to the pan and create one beautiful brown and golden side. Then a splash of water is added to the pan and the lid is snapped on. The rest of the noodle is steamed through and the resulting dumpling has a tender noodle top with a crisp and savory bottom.

IU Set to Face No. 4 Missouri at Home
December 4, 2003For Complete Verison of Game Notes CLICK HERE
Bloomington, Ind.--After a three-game stint away from Branch McCracken Court at Assembly Hall, the 2-2 Indiana Hoosiers return home to face No. 4/5 (AP/Coaches Polls) Missouri Dec. 6 at 4 p.m. The Tigers are 2-0 after a 70-61 victory over Coppin State on Tuesday night. The Tigers opened the season with a 90-85 victory at Oakland on Nov. 29.
This is the second straight ranked opponent that Indiana faces. IU suffered a 100-67 loss at No. 18/16 Wake Forest in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge on Tuesday night. Following the Missouri game, Indiana heads to Notre Dame on Dec. 10 (ESPN, 9 p.m.). The Fighting Irish are currently ranked 20th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll.
Indiana is the only program in the nation that faces six straight 2003 NCAA Tournament teams in its 2003-04 non-league schedule. The Wake Forest contest marks the second game of that six-game stretch that also features three NCAA Sweet 16 teams (Notre Dame, Butler and Kentucky).
The Hoosiers will play their second straight game without senior center George Leach, who is out indefinitely with a left knee injury.
Each Indiana basketball game can be heard live on the IU Radio Network. WHCC (105.1 FM in Bloomington) is the flagship station for the network that has more than 50 stations broadcasting Hoosier basketball all season long. Don Fischer (play-by-play), former Indiana guard Todd Leary (color commentary) and Joe Smith (pregame, halftime and postgame host) call all of the action.
The Missouri game marks the second of three consecutive ESPN appearances for the Hoosiers. Mark Jones, former UCLA coach Steve Lavin and Tim McCormick call of the action.

A tantalising whiff of carbon-based compounds has been picked up by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover. But it's still not clear whether the eagerly awaited results show the true chemical nature of Mars or are the products of Earthly contaminants.
One of the main goals of the NASA rover is to search for signs of Martian habitability, including organics – carbon-containing compounds that are the building blocks of life. The rover's first meals of baked Martian soil showed carbon and hydrogen reacting with chlorine inside the robot's ovens, creating organic molecules.
This taste of carbon is intriguing but it's a far cry from recent feverish speculation that the rover found definitive evidence for organics on the Red Planet. While the chlorine is almost certainly from Mars, it is still unclear whether the carbon is native Martian material or something from Earth that was trapped in the rover. Even if the carbon is from Mars, it may come from inorganic sources, like carbonate rocks.
"The rover has made this detection of simple organic compounds," said project scientist John Grotzinger of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "We just don't know if they're indigenous to Mars or not."
Chemical diversity
The result is only one of the intriguing chemical discoveries the NASA rover has pulled from a wind-blown patch of sand at a site called Rocknest, unveiled today at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) 2012 fall meeting in San Francisco.
Since it landed in Gale Crater in August, Curiosity has been firing up its science tools one by one. Star of the show at the AGU meeting was the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) experiment, which can sniff the Martian atmosphere, and can analyse gases given off when soil samples are heated to as much as 1100 °C.
SAM was the last major instrument to come online. Excitement surrounding the consistency of results emerging from multiple samples was what prompted Grotzinger to talk about data that's "for the history books" in a US radio interview almost two weeks ago, sparking a media frenzy.
"These results are an unprecedented look at the chemical diversity in the area," Michael Meyer, NASA's lead scientist for Mars exploration based in Washington, DC, said today at an AGU press briefing.
Earthly trace
SAM has been digesting scoops of fine sand, with grains less than 150 micrometres across. "It's finer than sugar, but coarser than something like flour," explains Ken Edgett, principal investigator for the rover's Mars Hand Lens Imager, which has taken detailed pictures of the material. It is this sand that revealed the chlorinated compounds.
SAM took several scoops from the Rocknest site in early October, shaking its tray and dumping out the first few loads to clean the instrument and make sure any Earthly molecules were flushed out of its system. The fifth scoop was delivered to SAM's oven, which heated it until the compounds inside released their characteristic gases.
The results revealed chlorinated carbon compounds, which probably formed inside SAM's oven rather than being picked up directly from Mars. The question is where the carbon comes from. Even after a thorough rinse, it's possible the SAM oven still contains traces of Earthly carbon.
If it's Martian in origin, the carbon may be from organic hydrocarbons or inorganic carbonates. The chlorine, meanwhile, may be from chemicals called perchlorates, which were previously spotted by NASA's Phoenix lander near the Martian north pole. These compounds are found in rocket fuel and other explosives and are typically considered toxic, but some extreme microbes on Earth may use them as an energy source.
'Hold the show'
The team will compare the result to tests of a sample of carbon-based material brought from Earth, Paul Mahaffy, SAM's principal investigator, said at the AGU meeting. "If we see the same stuff that we thought might be from Mars, we've got to say, 'Hold the show, this might be terrestrial stuff'."
Because the sand at Rocknest is representative of material blown from around the Martian surface, the new results provide a solid baseline describing the planet's global conditions. The data will later be compared to layers of rock at the rover's ultimate destination – a 5-kilometre tall mountain known as Aeolis Mons, sometimes called Mount Sharp. Some of these layers formed more than 3 billion years ago, when it's thought that Mars was warm, wet and may have supported life.
Curiosity's sampling of the Martian soil has also revealed that the ratio of the heavy isotope deuterium to ordinary hydrogen is five times higher on Mars than on Earth – a discovery that may help pinpoint when and how the Red Planet lost most of its formerly thick atmosphere.
Curiosity is now getting ready for its long trek to Aeolis Mons, taking in other points of interest on the way. Grotzinger likens Curiosity to a car with a 10,000-page user manual, which was still being written as the science team tested its instruments. With all the gear now up and running, it's time to drive, he says. "Our car is ready to go."

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) April 29, 2014

On the Pole:
Precautionary measures must be taken at all times by both the groundman and linemen to protect themselves from potential injury they could incur while performing their required functions in the rescue of the victim.
Timing will start with the word "GO" and stop when CPR is started.
The lineman or hot apprentice must remain belted off at all times during the rescue. It is permissible to un-belt only when it is necessary to go around an obstruction.
Tools, materials, or hot sticks shall not be thrown or dropped under any circumstances.
All regulatory safety rules must be observed when working or when moving primary or secondary conductors, hardware, or equipment. This includes a victim energized at line voltage. Illegal contact may result in team disqualification.
Once the victim as been cleared, the lineman will check the level of consciousness of the victim, prior to rigging. The mannequin must be secured with three half hitches.
On the Ground:
The groundman will check for breathing, administer two (2) breaths, and perform five (5) cycles of CPR. No pulse check is required.
The lineman will climb down the pole, treat for shock, and monitor the delivery of his partner's CPR.
After the groundman has completed five (5) cycles of CPR, the lineman will check for breathing for five (5) seconds. Finding no breathing, he will give two (2) breaths, and resume CPR. The groundman will monitor the victim during this process. Upon completion of five (5) cycles of CPR, the lineman will end by giving two (2) breaths.
NOTE: Rescue breathing barriers are optional. Teams choosing to use a barrier must furnish their own and be proficient in the use of the type of barrier selected.
The poletop committee will furnish the handline, hotsticks, and a Bashlin 57 cutaway scare strap for the preliminaries and finals. Teams will be required to use the handline and hot sticks furnished.

In one of the biggest studies of it's kind, including over 1.3m women, researches concluded that women who stop smoking before the age of 30, can increase their life expectancy by as much as 10 years.
This wouldn't be surprising concerning the many hazards smoking have on the body, especially sourced in the paper rather than the Tobacco (having "black lungs" is mostly due to smoking the carbon from the paper).
People who stop smoking often report an amazing decrease of 7 beats per minutes in their heart rate, just a week after stopping with better results on the long run.

Padres: No TV deal unless Time Warner customers flee in droves
SK: "I've got to get you to switch to AT&T U-verse. I promise you. It is so much better of a service."
BR: "Done."
SK: "But Tom, what is it, I want to just back up for a second, for people who are hearing this for the first time and I hope that you'll go into it with us. But what is the big problem here? What does Time Warner want from who?
TG: "Well again, that's probably a question for Fox, I think. From what they indicated to us, you know, the offer that they made a year ago is the offer that they've made to pick up the games...."
SK: "The offer that Time Warner made to Fox Sports San Diego?"
TG: "Yeah, Fox made them an offer and said, 'Hey, here's what it cost to carry the games.' And Time Warner came back and said, 'Here's what we're wiling to pay.' And Fox came back with a counter offer that was then accepted by the other four carriers and Time Warner hasn't really moved off their position from a year ago."
SK: "So Time Warner will not move off the offer that they made. The offer stands. Do you think, Tom, do you sense, that they've put so much money and energy and effort into the Dodgers and the Lakers that frankly they just don't care?"
TG: "Well, that's a question for them, I think. They've certainly invested a lot of money in Los Angeles. I mean, billions of dollars. I think that's a question for them."
SK: "OK, let me try and rephrase the question."
BR: "Ooo."
SK: "What do you think they think...."
TG: (laughs)
BR: "Nice question."
SK: "Wasn't that good? Wasn't that really good? See how I kind of flipped that because first I started with..."
TG: "Very nice people, smart business people. From what they told us, you know, again, they suggested that there needs to be a critical mass of people down here of their customers who leave to their competitors before it's worth their while to pick up the games. That's kind of what they've indicated to us. But again we hope they pick up the games. We want them to."
SK: "You know what they're saying though, Tom. We're talking to Tom Garfinkel, the president of the Padres. I mean you know what they're saying. Everybody who's listening to you hears what you're saying they're saying. What they're saying is, you know, Tom, we don't really think that San Diego cares that much about the Padres."
TG: "I don't know that that's right as much as... That's not really what I heard them say. They don't, you know, they don't like the price although again the other four distributors have agreed to the price, and I think, you know, they've certainly spent a lot of money in Los Angeles again. They've got a business decision they've got to make. In the meantime, you know, we want all our fans to have our games and that's something that we're trying to work on, and we're hopeful that Fox and Time Warner will be able to come to resolution on it."

How does it work?
You save money & time whilst benefiting others.
Ransacker is the world's first specialist running shoes and football boots review website. Currently we review and compare prices for more than 2000 running shoes and football boots (we hope to add more products soon!) To use Ransacker just follow these simple steps:
Enter the name of the product (running shoes or football boots) that you are looking for in the search bar above i.e. Asics Kayano Running Shoes or Nike Mercurial Football Boots. We will then "Ransack" the web for you.
Review & Compare Prices
Once we have found your product, you will hopefully be able to read a series of reviews and (if possible – more than one retailer lists that product)compare the price across the UK's top online sports retailers.
Save Money & Time!
Not only will we save you time (you only need to visit one website rather than several) we will often save you at least £5 but it can be as much as £50 off the RRP.
Give to charity
Finally, we donate 10% of our profits from the sale of Running Shoes and Football Boots to the charities; Sparks and the Great Football Give Away.
PLEASE NOTE: Using Ransacker will not cost you a penny more than going to the retailer's store direct!
How can Ransacker donate to charity for every sale?
One of the benefits of running an online business is that the overheads are lower; therefore retailers pay us a small commission for referring a sale to them. From this amount we then donate 10% to charity. The rest is then used to make sure that we have a sustainable business which can grow and can help charity and you to save money for years to come.
Other advantages of using Ransacker:
Honest Opinions
Because we are 100% impartial to retailers and manufacturers we can give honest opinions. We try and do the "hard yards" in the products we test so that our findings are based on fact not assumptions.
Expert Opinions
We have managed to assemble a panel of unpaid experts ranging from dedicated users to professional athletes and coaches. In addition to this we all try and provide links and advice to "those in the know" at leading magazines such as Runners World & 442 magazine.
User Feedback
Probably the most important information you will read because it is from people that have worn the product you are interested in. They have lived with the products rather than tested them. We would love it if you could spare 2 minutes to quickly write a review. All you need to do is enter the product in search bar above and click on "write a review". You may even win a free pair of running shoes or football boots for the best review!

Blockbuster is ending its retail and mail order services and closing all of its remaining stores and distribution centers. Dish network bought the movie rental chain in 2011 in a bankruptcy auction. The brand had been struggling to compete with other d-v-d rental and digital streaming services.
Blockbuster by mail, a service launched to counter Netflix, will end in mid-December. It will continue to serve customers until that time. The streaming Blockbuster On Demand service will continue. Dish also is maintaining its licensing agreements with Blockbuster, which includes 15 movie channels and thousands of movies. so Dish customers will still have access to Blockbuster at Home services.
The move will affect 300 U.S. stores.
Twitter priced its initial public offering at $26 a share late Wednesday, a move that clears the way for the stock to start trading today. That's an increase from the initial $17-$20 range. The announcement came via -- what else? -- a company tweet.
The $26 ipo price values Twitter at $14.2 billion.
The Dow lost a bit Tuesday, but it bounced back in a big way Wednesday jumping a whopping 128 to close at 15,746.
That wasn't the case for the Nasdaq, which fell which nearly 8 points to end the day at 3,931.
Finally the S&P 500 gained 7.52 points to settle in at 1,770.

Tomlin: Troy will probably be deemed outPosted by on October 8, 2012 – 1:19 pm
The Steelers will likely be without safety Troy Polamalu this Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans, after he re-injured his right calf against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
"He will probably be deemed out this week because of the week itself being a quick turnaround and the nature of the injury," said Coach Mike Tomlin. "We will evaluate him when get back from Tennessee. We don't think he will participate."
Linebacker LaMarr Woodley also could be out this week, but this is still a chance he could play after suffering a hamstring injury against the Eagles. With a short week Tomlin said he is "leaning more on him being out, as opposed to being in," but wouldn't rule it out.
"There is more optimism regarding where he is," said Tomlin. "It's just a mild hamstring injury if there is such a thing. It's still a hamstring injury.
"We are at the early part of the season and we have to be smart in terms of how we deal with that. In a short week it minimizes his opportunity to play, but we will leave the door ajar for him."

Code 23092
Level of study Second Year
Credit value 20
Semester 1&2
This module explores the strengths and weaknesses of a particular approach to the study and explanation of National Socialism - that of the `Social Historian'. The module first considers the rise of the Nazis in the period prior to 1933, concentrating on the relative importance of long-term and short-term factors in the demise of the Weimar Republic, and the ways in which Hitler and the NSDAP took advantage of economic, social and political instability in the Germany in the 1920s and early 1930s. The second part of this module examines what the Nazis did with the power they achieved and developed after 1933, focusing on claims that the outcome of Nazi policies in areas such as employment, industrial relations, education, welfare, race and culture amounted to a social revolution.

In the United States, you are innocent until proven guilty.
Lets say you are arrested for DUI and you go to court and after all is said and done, you are not found guilty, and the charges are dismissed. Should you still receive an alcohol incident as a Coast Guard member? What if that makes it your second alcohol incident, do you think that it would be fair to process you for discharge?
I guess one of the factors would be if you were found not guilty by a technicality or you actually did not consume ANY alcohol and it was possibly an actual medical emergency, in which case the person wouldn't have been charged to begin with.
I think you may be confusing an alcohol conviction in a court of law versus an alcohol incident. Any alcohol incident which brings discredit or embarrassment to the CG is just that, an incident. If that's the case then yes, it's fair.
A conviction is irrelevant. Only two questions remain: 1.) Was alcohol consumed? And 2.) Did it bring discredit upon the service?
If you check both of those blocks, then you have an alcohol incident. Has little bearing on the what the court decided to do.
|"Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?" - Gordon Lightfoot
I am not postitive on this but I highly doubt the military with the UCMJ has to meet the same level of burden of proof that a state court is required to meet for a prosecution.
What's that old joke...
Seaman: I wasn't drinking but I ran into a beer truck!
Captain: Well...alcohol was involved.
|New Member
UCMJ violations have the same burden of proof, but an alcohol incident isn't a criminal matter, it's an administrative process.
Brian, I know you were joking, but for those who may not know... For an AI to occur, alcohol must have been CONSUMED by the party in question. And that alcohol consuption must have played some role the discredit on the service.
And, no.... AI is strictly an administrative process. Has nothing to do with the UCMJ, state court, or burden of proof.
|Experienced Member
Assuming that the reason that the person was found "not guilty" is that they in fact did not drive under the influence just how would they be bringing "discredit" or "embarrassment" to the CG? Just because a police officer charges a person does not mean that the person actually did what he/she was charged with. Are we really looking to give an "incident" to a member that did nothing wrong?
|"I love that dirty water..."
Just because the DUI was thrown out doesn't mean that alcohol wasn't a significant or causative factor for the traffic stop. The CO has that discretion to make that final call. By simply being in court for a DUI, you are bringing some level of discredit upon the service. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but it is what it is.
Mark I think that the quoted section above your remarks answers your question. The legal system can give way to any number of "technicalities" that our administrative system doesn't.
Red is correct... I learned (the hard way!) a long time ago to be careful in engaging in long-distance hypothetical situations. You NEVER have all of the story. But only two elements have to be met. 1.) Was alcohol consumed by the individual in question? And, 2.) Did the incident bring discredit upon the service?
The CO has VERY wide discretion in making this determination. And really... It is a decision not readily reviewable by anyone else.
It's the CO's call. About the only time the CO can't use his discretion is in situations where the member is convicted. The PERSMAN is VERY clear in these cases.
Yes and no. If a Court Martial is convened it becomes The United States VS. SN Joe Coastie, and the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the violation of the UCMJ occured. The "burden of proof" is upon the government, and must proved "beyond a reasonasble doubt" that the violation occured.
In NJP, however, this is not the case. At mast, the masting official only has to believe that "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" a violation occurred.
I'm about 97% sure that this is accurate, as-per the CG Military Justice Manual.
|Highly Experienced Member
Can a member request a court martial if the member feels the NJP was not correct?
That is true... Courts Martial burden of proof is Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. NJP is a Preponderence of the Evidence (is it more than likely...)
AI isn't even a Preponderence of the Evidence. Is is singularly the CO's decision. As long as those two conditions mentioned before are met, you can have an AI. I'm not saying it's right or defending it.
|Experienced Member
Not if they are assigned to a cutter. If they are assigned ashore they could turn down a mast and request CM. At least that was the rules before I retired.
|Experienced Member
As I said in my original post I was stating that there was an assumption that the person was found not guilty because he/she did not actually drive under the influence NOT because of some technicality. In the past I have had some Alcohol Reps try and make the case that just being charged with DUI is an "incident" then if the person was convicted that was a second "incident". Fortunately were not able to actually get their bizarre interpretation enforced.
If you are saying that the court found that the member did not consume alcohol, then an alcohol incident is not appropriate.
We had a situation a one of my units when a member went to medical one morning because he had the flu. He was pulled over and charged with DUI. He told the officer he had not been drinking, but the officer said he didn't care, and arrested him anyway. Maybe it was the cold meds he was taking, maybe it was the fact that he was sick as dog and could barely stand up, but the officer thought he was drinking.
The charges were dropped and the member received a p-7 for not having enough common sense to ask for a ride when he was too sick to drive, but did not receive an AI. I'm not sure who picked up the tab to clean out the back of the patrol car
At another unit, a member received a ticket for drinking in public (not public intoxication). His only offense was walking in the wrong place with a cup of beer, yes that happens in VA. He received an AI.
The point is this: No alcohol, no alcohol incident. If alcohol is consumed, and the member is arrested, then an alcohol incident is appropriate. The outcome of the criminal case is not relevant to an AI determination. The CO makes the determination.
A member should not be given two alcohol incidents for the same event. For example a member is arrested for DUI and is late for work the next day because he was in jail. Even though there are two offences (DUI and AWOL), it is still one AI. He can however be taken to mast or CM and punished for the AWOL.
|Highly Experienced Member
Man, the Coast Guard would have been empty when I was in. They'd need a xerox machine for the BCDs.
|There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch
I agree. Most of the ships I was on wouldn't have had enough crew left to get underway.
|New Member
I think what you're asking - if you don't like the NJP received, can you then request court martial - the answer is "no" in all circumstances. You can appeal the NJP to the next officer up, but that's all.
If assigned ashore, you can refuse going to NJP (before going to mast, or as soon as it starts) and opt for court martial. The reason to do this is because the burden of proof is higher (beyond a reasonable doubt) and evidentiary rules apply. However, should you roll the dice and lose - consequences are much greater in terms of punishment and getting an actual conviction. NJP is only administrative, "more likely than not" standard of guilt, no evidentiary rules, but no conviction either. Very rarely would it make sense to decline NJP and opt for court martial.

hmm...on a lot of Medela pumps, there's a similar membrane, but it's smaller than the size of a dime. In those case, the membrane is very important as it's one of the parts that creates the suction.
You may want to try looking around the Medela site and see if you can find it on their site and perhaps it will have information on what it goes with and how to use it. Good luck!

It looks like an attachment for one of the hospital grade medela pumps (sympony). That's the part that attaches to the pump itself- you open up the top and there's a spot for each of the large circular pieces.
It's the attachment for hospital grade pumps. You should be able to pull all the yellow off and use the tubing on your pump.

When we write, we often simply record our ideas as they occur to us. Though this is a fine way to begin writing and to generate ideas, it is not always the best way to communicate with a reader. The following strategies will help you to transform the "writer-based" prose you begin with into the "reader-based" prose your audience needs to understand your message.
Analyze Your Audience
Thinking about the needs of your reader will help you at any stage of the writing process. Determine your audience's knowledge and attitude toward your topic as well as its needs. How much does your audience need to know about your topic and how will its attitude affect your presentation?
Anticipate Your Audience's Response
People read creatively by supplying a context for what they read, making predictions about what will come next, creating gists, or chunks of information, and organizing ideas into a hierarchy. How should you structure your information so your reader will understand your point?
Organize For The Creative Reader
Create and state a shared goal. This will motivate your audience to read and increase comprehension.
Use a reader-based structure:
Organize the paper around a problem, a thesis, or a purpose.
Organize your ideas into a hierarchy. Distinguish between major and minor points and make the relationship between the two explicit.
Make your conclusions explicit.
Use cues to make your organization clear to the reader.

Make your conclusions explicit.
Use cues to make your organization clear to the reader.
Use Cues to Guide Your Reader
Writers use a variety of cues to demonstrate the organizational strategies they have chosen. In general, your reader will expect you to preview your meaning, summarize when necessary, and guide them through your discussion. Cues can be visual and verbal.
Develop a Persuasive Argument
We often think that the purpose of writing an essay is to "win" the argument, but simply proving a viewping is "right" will not always get someone else to agree with it. If, instead, we think of our goal as finding common ground and clarifying, adding to, or modifying someone's view, both sides will win by gaining better understanding of a topic.

The Bachelor
Courtney Robertson Picks Sean's Top Bachelor 2013 Girls
Courtney Robertson may not have found lasting love with Ben Flajnik on The Bachelor, but we consider her somewhat of a bachelorette whisperer. After all, homegirl did outsmart, out fight, and out fake-wedding a couple dozen girls in her quest for victory marriage. Court-sport talked to Celebuzz about Sean Lowe's lady harem and made her picks.
So, who was at the top of her list? AshLee Frazier. The doe-eyed sweet lady went on a solo date (sort of) with Seanie-pie to Six Flags on Monday night's episode, and Courtney called it "the perfect bachelor date." "AshLee is a little bit older, she's a little more mature. I just think she's going to go far. I really like her a lot."
The other two rounding out her list? Catherine Giudici and Lindsay Yenter. "They just seem to have a little spark with him," Court says of her top three picks. As for the fact that we've barely seen any of Catherine on the show so far, chalk it up to careful editing.
"On the group date, she took charge," Courtney says of Catherine's feisty antics. "If you look closely, you can see her running into the water with him. She really [made] the most of her time with him. And if you watch the promo, you can see Sean on a tropical beach with a girl with long hair and I think that's her."
Well, if anyone knows best, it's the girl who surprised us all by coming out the victor in Season 16. What do you think of Courtney's choices?

Column: Europe will show champions' true worth
Of the three, the current United team most needs a European stamp of approval to prove its worth. Buying Robin van Persie from Arsenal last summer was great business for United. He and Wayne Rooney look like they have played together for years, not months. Madrid has to stick a wrench in the United's attacking partnership to reach the Champions League quarterfinals. United manager Alex Ferguson must blunt the goal-scoring menace from Cristiano Ronaldo, his former protege. Those and other plot-lines make this a cerebral match-up.
At the end of the season, it will almost certainly be United parading through Manchester with the Premier League trophy. If United's winning margin is as big or bigger than now, its achievement almost certainly won't seem as impressive as it actually is. That will be because of the sneaking suspicion that Manchester City made it too easy for United and surrendered the title it won last year without enough of a fight.
Ferguson's teams, sometimes unfairly, also suffer in comparison with each other. The list of illustrious names at United who made history with Ferguson and before is so long that newer players need to do something special to make their own big mark.
Something like being the team that stopped Madrid from winning a 10th European crown. Or that won United its fourth. There'd be no better proof of quality.

Catastrophe brings out the most compassionate side of humanity, without a doubt. As all eyes turn to the perfect storm looming over Japan, we cannot help but wonder, "There must be something I can do?" Responding to human beings in need is just instinctual. We simply have to it's in our nature. The news stories are now focused on the growing threat of a nuclear meltdown, the third and perhaps most devastating of the trilogy of crises that has struck Japan. Following the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami, the subsequent nuclear disaster threatens to do the most destructive damage of all. And thus, the media is highlighting the nuclear issue and the potential crisis that might occur should a full-scale meltdown occur. Already this crisis has been called by some media spokespeople the "worst" one, bypassing Chernobyl and Three-Mile Island. Scores of reports focus on the tragic consequences to the Japanese population, should radiation poisoning occur. What are the symptoms, they ask? And what can be done to treat them? And how long can a person live, if seriously exposed?
One cannot help but recall that Japan was the only nation to suffer an actual nuclear attack, which ended World War II and now it is the nation that is facing the worse nuclear accident an extraordinary irony. But that's not the supreme irony. The real irony, as I see it, is how the media and the world is responding to the threat of a nuclear meltdown and all the damage and destruction that it will bring, not to mention the length of time that damage will last (well over a century or longer).
Rather, I marvel at the outpouring of compassion for people facing the possibility of a nuclear hell while at the same time, we live in a world that treasures its nuclear weapons each one of which would do countless more damage than one nuclear reactor going down. I wonder, "What would our media say if we let one of our weapons fly at people we declared to be an enemy?" Would they and others then say, "How soon can we expect our enemy to die?" Would we then be okay with the destruction because all those people are on the "enemy" list? How INSANE is this human race? Is nuclear destruction tragic ONLY when it's an accident but NOT when we DELIBERATELY use nuclear weapons? Are we that insane? All we have to do is look at the madness and chaos set into motion by the explosions at this Japanese nuclear energy site and then imagine just imagine what kind of hell we would unleash if we ever used all these horrible nuclear weapons that we insist on having as a result of not being able to achieve peace.
So here we are compassionate in the face of a nuclear accident, but we have what it takes to use this stuff should we get provoked enough at an enemy. There is something fundamentally flawed deep within our humanity that we would even create such weapons, much less actually use them. Who in the world would nuke their own planet? What type of species is that insane? Only human beings.
We must make good come out of the tragic nuclear experience that is once again hitting the nation of Japan. If we ever needed a reason to join forces and scream in one loud force, "NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS ON THIS PLANET NOW OR EVER AGAIN," it is now. Nature has but to rock this planet just a bit, or send one wave and She can bring an entire nation to its knees. The earth we stand upon is not steady ground it is a moving, breathing, living Being that can erupt as easily under a nuclear power plant as it can under a major city. Are we that blind or arrogant to miss the message that Mother Nature has what it takes to significantly alter the economics of an entire nation in less than 15 minutes?
Human beings need to rethink their notion of power and most important of all, what type of power they are truly qualified to deal with, given that they have no concept of involving the Sacred in their work. If one were to truly reflect deeply upon matters of life and death, of power and ritual, one would realize that only a fool would tamper with nuclear power without the assistance of a holy guardian, shaman, or priest. I wonder how many of these "scientists" had the "presence of soul" to ask for blessings and the grace of protection around these power plants? Or how many of them can even conceive of their work within the template of acts that require partnership with the Sacred? But people who are working in the realm of "energy" are doing just that they are working in the domain of the sacred, in the domain of the invisible
the realm of energy, thought, ideas.
We are a species filled with endless paradoxes, to be sure, and one of them is that large-scale tragedies draw out the best of us. The greater the tragedy, the more we relate to the humanness in other people. Again, the paradox is that it may well be that this perfect storm of a tragedy in Japan, brought upon by the forces of nature, may ultimately inspire humanity to realize the harm nuclear power can do. Once again, the message is coming from the Japanese people, who have carried that message since 1945, but perhaps in union with the voice of Mother Nature we must receive it again. And only Mother Nature could deliver a warning such as this. No human being could ever carry a message of this magnitude to the earth.

i'm trying to decide whether i want junkbuster to manage cookies. the
mechanism is by far more configurable than anything i've ever seen. i like
the idea of feeding cookies that say "leave me the PHRACK alone" back to the
servers that send cookies.
it would be a bit more convenient to do it with opera, however. opera has a
pretty advanced cookie system right now with all the features you'd expect
like blocking/allowing cookies on a per-site basis. and lots more.
i'm trying to decide. does anyone have any wisdom that points to either
direction? opera managed cookies or junkbuster managed cookies?
i'm curious though -- i took a quick look at the faq and didn't immediately
see how to disable cookie cutting. how do you do it?
