I have a truly shocking announcement: I am a woman, and I enjoy sex.
Apparently, admitting to this makes me a slut.
I am not, of course, unusual. For many of us, sex is fun. For many of us—cis-women[1] who sleep with cis-men, thereby risking pregnancy, included[2]—sex is a thing that brings joy to life and contributes to its being worth living. One of the great things about the technological age is that we have a range of medicines and devices that make it possible to have a fulfilling sex life while significantly reducing the risk of an unplanned pregnancy. By all measurable standards of human flourishing, this is awesome. And yet, society has a problem with us saying this out loud.
According to "Finally, a Feminism 101 Blog," slut-shaming is "the idea of shaming and/or attacking a woman or a girl for being sexual, having one or more sexual partners, acknowledging sexual feelings, and/or acting on sexual feelings. Furthermore, it's "about the implication that if a woman has sex that traditional society disapproves of, she should feel guilty and inferior" (Alon Levy, Slut Shaming)."
If it please the court, I'd like to present (only the latest) exhibit A:
"What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex -- what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex."
As we are likely all well aware by this point, Rush Limbaugh directed the above screed at Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke, who testified before a congressional committee in support of the Obama administration's contraception coverage mandate. Never mind that Limbaugh's statement betrays a gross misunderstanding of how hormonal birth control actually works. (For those who are curious, you have to take it every day, regardless of how much sex you are or are not having.)
Never mind that much of Fluke's testimony was directed towards the use of hormonal birth control for non-contraceptive purposes, or that it never mentioned her own sex life, or even whether she personally uses hormonal birth control, once. It was enough that a woman unapologetically acknowledged that birth control was a real need in women's lives.
However, much as Limbaugh might prefer to think otherwise, this article is not about him. Rather, his comments were an especially egregious representation of a larger cultural trend—a trend, unfortunately, which has significant roots in religious traditions. One of the stranger and more disturbing episodes in the Hebrew Bible describes a test as to whether a woman suspected of adultery is guilty:
"After he has made the woman stand before the Lord, the priest shall bare the woman's head and place upon her hands the meal offering of remembrance, which is a meal offering of jealousy. And in the priest's hands shall be the water of bitterness that induces the spell…Once he has made her drink the water—if she has defiled herself by breaking faith with her husband, the spell-inducing water shall enter into her to bring on bitterness, so that her belly shall distend and her thigh shall sag; and the woman shall become a curse upon her people. (Numbers 5:16-27, JPS)"
The point here is that unrestrained female sexuality represents a threat to the social structure: in this case, a material threat, since it made establishing a child's paternity difficult. The best way that structure could restrain it was to place not just legal sanctions but social stigma on the suspected adulteress, or sotah. The ritual was meant to physically mark her; her body itself became a kind of scarlet letter that told everyone who saw her: this is a slut.
The ritual sounds arcane and anachronistic, but don't we take women's bodies and how they appear as physical markers of their supposed sexual virtue? Tight or low-cut clothing, or even physical features women may not have any control over—large breasts or buttocks, for instance—we assume that these markers aren't for the women themselves, but for us, to signal their sexual status.
Similarly, the admission that a woman uses birth control, and especially the acknowledgement by a woman that yes, sex is an important part of her life, isn't assumed to be about her own needs and desires, but about broadcasting her sexual availability to the rest of us. And that is assumed to be shameful.
Why is this a problem? For one thing, a culture that shames an open conversation about women's sexuality is a culture that is going to make it more difficult for women to get the reproductive healthcare that they need—especially women with limited resources, or women who might be in urgent or dangerous situations.
For another, the assumption that women's sexual choices aren't for them but for our collective benefit leads to a horrifying degree of victim-blaming in cases of rape and sexual assault. Slate's Emily Bazelon notes that this even manifests itself in rape law:
"Rape law also still treats certain kinds of sexual conduct as unacceptable for women, by exempting it from the rule that places a woman's sexual history outside the bounds of evidence that can be admitted at a rape trial…In many cases, it's deviance that's deemed to make a woman's history distinctive, allowing the court to give the jury the chance to conclude that a particular's woman's claim of rape is less legitimate."
This has to stop. And because religious traditions have helped build this structure, religious voices have a moral responsibility to be a part of what stops it. Can we step up? In subsequent posts I'll explore resources within my own tradition that I think can be useful for doing so. But I hope dearly I won't be spitting into the wind.
Do our traditions contain the resources to build a truly feminist, inclusive, sex-positive sexual ethic? I hope so. I think so, and I want to believe so, but I am honestly not sure. Are there texts and rituals within our traditions that contain theological and philosophical grounds upon which such an ethic can be based? Yes, there are. Do our traditions furnish us with methods of interpretation and practice that can help us emphasize those parts and confront and repair destructive ones? Absolutely. Is there the human will—the intellectual bravery and moral conviction—to use those methods? I cannot answer that question. I can be one part of the answer, but the rest is up to everyone else.

[2] It is absolutely not my intention to erase transpeople who have not yet undergone gender reassignment surgery or have chosen not to and who might therefore also run the risk of impregnating someone or of becoming pregnant; rather, this post is about a social phenomenon that overwhelmingly applies to people who can become pregnant and are perceived as female. Transphobia—in general, and with specific regard to sexuality and to religion—is a huge issue of its own, and something I hope to address in future articles with the depth and attention it deserves.
Thank you for your voice!
The "Sotah" of the Hebrew bible could more easily be read as providing an opportunity for a falsely accused woman to clear her reputation as a method of shaming – a particularly compelling ritual whose need we see in cultures which embrace the horrors of "honor killings." While there are certainly concerns about how women are treated in the Jewish tradition, this text isn't your best choice.
[…] has been marked as worthy of derision, and in this way they are marked as other, and dehumanized. This is true of the all-too-common phenomenon of slut-shaming, which I discussed in a previous artic…. It is true of the anti-gay bullying which continues to drive too many youth to suicide, it is true […]

University Park, PA (Sports Network) - Tyler Tettleton threw for 324 yards and two touchdowns for Ohio University as the Penn State Nittany Lions began the Bill O'Brien coaching era on a sour note with a 24-14 setback against the Bobcats at Beaver Stadium.
Tettleton converted 31-of-41 passes and also picked up another 47 yards and a touchdown on nine rushing attempts for the Bobcats (1-0) in the victory. Beau Blankenship ran the ball 31 times for 109 yards and also caught seven passes for an additional 72 yards for the visitors.
Penn State (0-1) was paced by quarterback Matt McGloin who converted 27-of-48 for 260 yards and two touchdowns and an interception in the setback. Bill Belton carried the ball 13 times for a team-best 53 yards as he took over the starting role at running back after Silas Redd (1,241 yards and seven touchdowns in 2011) decided to transfer to USC.
The first points of the afternoon came late in the first quarter when McGloin checked off of a couple of receivers on 1st-and-10 just inside the seven-yard line and found Belton out on the right side, the receiver slipping into the end zone to give the Nittany Lions the 7-0 advantage heading into the second frame.
PSU's defense held off the Bobcats on the next possession, but a fumbled punt by the Lions gave the ball right back to Ohio. Penn State managed to keep the visitors out of the end zone, but still allowed Bobcats kicker Matt Weller to line up and knock through a 22-yard field goal to make the score 7-3 with just over 10 minutes to play in the half.
With 1:29 remaining in the second period, McGloin found Matt Lehman out on the right side with a short pass and then Lehman turned the corner and headed for the goal line on a 14-yard TD pass play to give PSU a 14-3 lead at the break.
The opening drive of the second half saw the Bobcats move the ball 82 yards on 12 plays, the last of those being a 43-yard touchdown reception by Landon Smith. Eating up more than four minutes on the clock, Smith collected a tipped ball by the Penn State down the center of the field and easily ran into the end zone to cut the deficit to 14-10.
The Bobcats grabbed their first lead of the game at the 3:49 mark of the third quarter when Tettleton bulled his way across the goal line from a yard out, giving the visitors a 17-14 edge following the successful PAT.
Ohio added to the advantage with 2:55 left in the fourth when Donte Foster extended for a five-yard TD grab from Tettleton, making the score 24-14.
McGloin and the Penn State offense started deep in their own territory, giving them little time to waste as they needed two scores, but the quarterback was picked off on a tipped ball with just under two minutes remaining. The Bobcats then ran out the clock to pick up their first-ever win in six tries against the Nittany Lions.
The last time the Nittany Lions opened a season with a loss was back in 2001 when the squad bowed to second-ranked Miami at home, 33-7. Penn State began that campaign with four straight setbacks and finished a mere 5-6 overall.
O'Brien, a former coach with the NFL's New England Patriots, is the 15th head coach in PSU history and has the burden of replacing the legendary Joe Paterno who was dismissed from the program late last season due to his role in the Penn State child sex abuse scandal.
Paterno, who joined Penn State as an assistant to Rip Engle in 1950, was named the latter's successor in 1966 and won a pair of national championships in 1982 and 1986. Passing away at the age of 85 in January due to complications from lung cancer, Paterno had been the all-time winningest coach in FBS history before the NCAA vacated 111 of his wins in July because of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
Former Heisman Trophy winners Matt Leinart, Eric Crouch and Rashaan Salaam are among 76 Football Bowl Subdivision players on the ballot for election into the 2016 class of the College Football Hall of Fame.
The regular season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has reached its midpoint, with 13 races completed and 13 to go before the championship Chase begins.
The Houston Texans have signed defensive lineman Brandon Deaderick, who played last season with the New Orleans Saints.
The Toronto Blue Jays activated catcher Dioner Navarro from the 15-day disabled list following a 2-0 loss to the Washington Nationals in the opener of Tuesday's doubleheader.
Sacramento Kings forward Carl Landry underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist, the team said.
The Montreal Canadiens revealed on Tuesday that defenseman Jeff Petry has agreed to terms on a six-year contract extension.

Why deprecation grant reserve key several person inclusive myself, which ***evidently fail register on the first time?
My first registration failed too
I'm still waiting for second unlock codes.
= CSLA Studio =
CSLA official page *** CSLA FaceBook page *** CSLA videos
Well, i haven't even got my codes yet in the first place I hope they send em on over to me soon. I keep staring at this damn icon on my desktop un-able to open it. I guess Lightwave will have to keep me busy for now. (BIS should of made OXY .lwo compatible )
Can't believe I'm still here.
i think when we receive the codes all models and planes are already made.
i am flying with the Hawk all day long thinking it would be my F16 LOOOOL i just want to get started
BIS can you tell us whats going on?
Good to hear that your a LW-head!
I use it too and good news is that it's easy to import LWO in o2! Just don't use LW's 3ds exporter, use Deep Exploration for converting LWO to 3ds. You can even define surfaces in LW for each texture. Then when model is imported in o2 all you have to do is doubleclick the surface name and it will be selected, ready for slapping the texture on with auto-fit
can someone BIS tell us a date?
i am waiting for a week now
Gimbal you sly little devil. Thanks alot for that info. This will help alot. Now, if only i could use OXY
I got the new codes today!!! wohoooo
But, there's always a but. I have to install W2K and scrap my W98 that I have now, I get an error now when I run O2 in W98. So back to applying for new codes
*sigh* I'm going back to bed now to sleep till I get new codes.
Sweet!! I've got codes too!!!!!!!
No I am stuck with that grey thingie with heaps of lines and funny buttons with words on them, and no idea waht to do!
Oh well, I guess its tutorial time for me

1. In a bowl take 1/2 cup of jowar flour and 2 to 3 tablespoons of wheat flour. Add salt to taste and oil and mix them well with the flour.
2. Gradually add warm water a little at a time and knead to a soft dough.
3. Take portions of the dough slightly bigger than a golf ball size and roll them in between your palms, sealing any cracks.
4. Dust the dough and roll on a board using the roller pin with a soft hand.
5. Heat the tawa on a medium heat and bake the roti on it. Finally using tongs, hold the roti directly above the flame to puff it up.
6. Once cooked take off the flame and spread some ghee or butter on the surface before serving.
7. Serve warm with any Indian main dish or any raita of your choice.
Every single time before you roll each roti, dip your hand in water and knead the dough a little, then make the ball, dust it and roll the roti for best results.
For gluten free ingredients, you can skip the wheat flour when kneading the dough; and use rice, corn or jowar flour for dusting instead of using the all purpose flour.

The start of the regular season in the major leagues is still a few days away, but it has already been a rough time for players from Gwinnett County.
A record seven local high school products were in the majors last year. Just two, though, will be part of an active roster this opening day.
They are both former Parkview stars. Jeff Keppinger is the Chicago White Sox new third baseman and Jeff Francoeur is back to play right field for Kansas City.
Braves catcher Brian McCann will start the season on the disabled list, as will relief pitcher Blake Wood with Cleveland.
Duluth graduate McCann, rehabbing from shoulder surgery, should be ready to rejoin the Braves by the end of April. North Gwinnett's Wood, coming off Tommy John elbow surgery last year while with Kansas City, has a longer road back.
Infielder Nick Green, outfielder Charlie Blackmon and pitcher Collin McHugh all failed to make major league rosters this spring and will start the season in the Class AAA Pacific Coast League.
Green (Duluth) was sent to New Orleans by Miami, while Blackmon (North Gwinnett) was optioned to Colorado Springs by Colorado and McHugh (Providence Christian) was shipped to Las Vegas by the New York Mets.
Green can opt out of his minor league contract and can become a free agent if he chooses.
Keppinger, who turns 33 on April 21, hit .325 in 115 games with Tampa Bay as a utility player and parlayed that into full-time job at third base with the White Sox after signing a three-year deal worth $12 million as a free agent.
Keppinger, a .288 career hitter over eight seasons, certainly didn't disappoint his new team at the plate this spring. The former Georgia Bulldogs standout had 20 hits in his first 42 Cactus League at-bats despite missing time with a sore right shoulder.
Francoeur, 29, slumped to .235 last season and is entering the final season of a two-year deal worth $13.5 million he signed to remain in Kansas City after hitting .285 with 47 doubles, 20 homers, 87 RBIs and 22 stolen bases in 2011.
The former Atlanta first-round draft choice fell to 49 RBIs last season and had just four stolen bases to go with 28 doubles and 16 homers.
Entering his ninth major league season, Francoeur will make his first trip back to Turner Field in April since being traded by the New York Mets to Texas during a 2010 series in Atlanta.
The Royals have a two-game interleague series against the Braves on April 16-17.

From wiki.travel.com
Sokcho [1] is a city in Gangwon, South Korea.
Sokcho has a population of around 84,000. It's quite a sleepy city and is known as a gateway to Seoraksan National Park, which is a 30 minute bus ride from the central hub. Also, the DMZ is located an hour north by bus, from the central hub. The city has many beaches and areas to view the East Sea, or Sea of Japan.
Get in
Buses leave from Seoul to Sokcho every 30 minutes.
No trains serve Sokcho.
Sokcho also serves as the terminal for Russian ferries.
Get around
Sokcho is a sprawling city. The buses are infrequent for a Korean city. The two bus terminals (intercity and express) are some distance from one another. City buses leave regularly for Seoraksan National Park. The bus leaves irregularly for Osaek (south Seoraksan) from the intercity bus terminal.
- See Abai Village A small village of North Korean expats. Located just off the main street, a hand drawn (called Gaetbae and only 200 Won) ferry will take you across the river to this charming village. You can even pull the boat across as a kind of "exercise." There isn't much to see in the village itself, but it served as scenery for the TV drama "Autumn in My Heart" and serves excellent Abai Sundae, a local speciality and probably the best sundae in Korea. It is made using large intestines of pig, rice, onions, blood, kimchi, pork, and tofu but no yam noodles. It's different in size and has a unique flavor from other sundae in Korea.
- Visit the Seoraksan National Park (two hours before sunrise to two hours before sunset), one of the most beautiful national parks in South Korea. Try and visit on a clearer day because if you climb to the peaks there isn't much to see from the top except for clouds when visibility is low. Buses get you from Sokcho to the park within 15 minutes. The park has a variety of routes which are well marked and i.e. lead to the Ulsanbawi peak, Biryong Waterfall, Geumganggul Cave, Biseondae, etc. Also, a cable car runs to Gwongeumseong Fortress and takes about 10 minutes to ascend to the top. The view is stunning except for cloudy days when you can't see much. It has stunning nature, beautiful temples, a giant Buddha statue and scenic rivers. The park can be quite crowded at ground level but the higher you get the less people you will see. A variety of food places provide with drinks and meals along all the routes.
- See the East Sea / Sea of Japan. The beaches are not the most beautiful in the world but at night you might get to see a lot of Korean groups burning fireworks at the beach. There are numerous pagodas and observation areas for sunsets with fishing ships in the foreground. Also, the Lighthouse Observatory offers a better-than-average view of the East Sea.
- Visit Sokcho Beach Only "open" from approximately July 10 - August 20, but still worth a visit when the beach is "closed", but you can still get on the beach.
- Take a bike ride around Yeongnangho Lake The lake funnels into the East Sea and takes about an hour on bike to get fully around the lake. Some stops along the way include Bombawi, a rock shaped like a crouched tiger which offers views of downtown, pagodas and temples.
If you're lost without an essential and are having trouble finding it try the E-mart near the express bus terminal. Also, fans of dried squid can find a whole package of squid for only 10,000 won, which is the same price, if not less, that most restaurants sell one squid for.
- Sokcho is known for raw fish. It can be quite expensive in restaurants (70,000 Won for two).
- Sundubu (soft tofu) can be found in the streets of the tofu towns such as Sinheung Sundubu and Haksapyeong Sundubu. Made from pure Mt. Seoraksan water and seawater, it's chemincal free, nutritious, tasty and only 5,000 won in some areas.
- Sokcho offers a unique twist to sundae by using suqid instead of pork intestines. The squid sundae consists of squid stir-fry, made with noodles and blood sausage, with carrots, onions, seaweed and spices mixed together, covered in egg yolk and fried. It runs about 10,000 Won per dish.
Sokcho is not filled with the plethora of hofs (restaurants with a drinking atmosphere), but almost all restaurants serve beer and soju (sweet potato wine, between 35-40 proof) for 3,000 Won per liter of beer, 500 mL of soju. Hofs do exist, but are scattered, and mostly empty.
- The House Hostel A three minute walk from Sokcho Intercity Bus Terminal and City Hall. Cheap accomodation in the central hub of Sokcho. Facilities include free internet access, free laundry, free bike rentals, guest kitchen and common room. Also, comes with an excellent staff fluent in English and serves you with a smile. Address: 452-5 Dongmyeong-dong, Sokcho-si, Kangwon-do, Korea. Phone: 82-033-633-3477 or 82-017-713-0550. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
There are tourist information kiosks beside both the intercity and express bus terminals.
Get out
- DMZ About an hours bus ride north is the De-Militarized Zone between North and South Korea.
- Seoraksan National Park is about a 30 minute bus ride and serviced by the 3 and 3-1 buses (as of August 2009)

- Product Details
WarmWire = Zero EMF
An emerging issue in the electric radiant heat industry is EMF (electromagnetic field) radiation. SunTouch pioneered and sells only ZERO EMF products constructed with active dual wire EMF-canceling technology.
All SunTouch products use a complex wire construction with two heating elements in parallel with an added and patented helical twist to eliminate EMF. Other electric radiant floor heating companies sell single-wire systems that release high levels of EMF when compared to SunTouch.
What is EMF? Electromagnetic fields (EMF) come from all electrical appliances, but studies show an average American's daily exposure is less than 1 unit (mG) of EMF. But. when you sit on an unshielded electric radiant floor, you may be exposed to 20, 40, or more times the average daily exposure. This Data comes from Independent testing. Read More Here
Is limiting exposure to EMF important? No one is certain. The World Health Organization says the data is inconclusive to date, but continues their research. We provide this EMF information because it is important to some people, not to frighten you or exaggerate any risk.
For many years customers have chosen SunTouch Zero EMF systems, but we leave the choice to you after explaining what we do know.

Researching FacebookPosted by Tanja Estella Bosch | 25 Feb, 2008
OK, so for many of you it's a case of "been there, done that, tagged the photo". But even if it is yesterday's news, I'm still busy researching Facebook. Scroll down for my research questions and methodology... But let me get right to the point. I want to survey UCT students about their FB usage, but I need some help with access to large lecture groups. All it would involve is about 10 minutes - to explain the research and to distribute the questionnaire - perhaps at the end of a lecture. If you're willing to offer your students as guinea pigs, please email me firstname.lastname@example.com so that I can get my lab coat ready for a visit to your classroom.
I'm hoping that, if nothing else, we can find out more about students' use of online social networking networks and the potential for building online learning communities...and of course, if we (UCT) are to follow the route of blocking access (like many employers have done), then we do so from an informed perspective...Hope you can help me!
Research Questions
• How are UCT students using Facebook?
• How do UCT students' networks on Facebook relate to their networks in the classroom?
• How do UCT student FB profiles reflect the "digital divide" (with reference to language, class and race; Internet user demographics in South Africa)?
• How are tutors and lecturers attempting to engage with students using Facebook?
• What potential does FB hold for building learning communities?
• Unstructured qualitative interviews with UCT students who use Facebook
• Quantitative survey of UCT students who use Facebook
• Online ethnography and qualitative content analysis of UCT student profiles
• Collective case studies of UCT faculty using Facebook for academic purposes
• Conversation analysis of student moves on Facebook (e.g. on the wall)

O.J Simpson arrested in Vegas
According to the Star Tribune, O.J Simpson was arrested with felony charges after bursting into Palms Resort while armed and stealing sports memorabilia.

One day, I found the Gitzen Girl blog by accident. I fell in love with Sara Frankl and her spirit. Due to a chronic illness, Sara was physically confined to her condo. Thousands were forever changed by the love and encouragement they received from her. Sara's motto of "Choose Joy" has become a mantra for many in the blogging community.
On September 24, 2011, Sara got to meet her Jesus face to face and her joy was made complete.
Today, she would have been 40 years old. This is a video that many in the blogging community participated in to honor Sara in the months following her passing.
I encourage you to Choose Joy, friends.

I needed a carrier oil to dilute lavender and tea tree oil while still being relatively light. I couldn't use witch hazel as a carrier because that would be too drying. after trying a bunch of different kinds, grapeseed worked out the best. the key is you need to be sure to use just a tiny bit. I use a pea size drop of my serum and it soaks in quite well before I add moisturizer. I've been using this mix for several weeks and so far it has worked better than anything I've tried. I don't think it's the grapeseed that's offering any real benefits, it's just that it's a great carrier for the lavender/tto, without making me greasy or break out more. (other oils I tried that were too heavy: sweet almond, apricot kernel, and evening primrose.)
I wouldn't recommend this (or any of the oils) as a replacement for your moisturizer though. I experimented for a long time and it seems (for me) none of the oils on their own were very moisturizing. it's better to use them in addition to your favorite lotion to give it a boost.

Omg. I believed in this fad lie. I used this for 3 months and it did nothing for my acne skin. It poisoned my skin and i now realize that not all natural or organic skincare is the best. If u r using this becuz u r vegan or organic crazy person, dnt! Just use obagi and u will realize that chemical skincare aint that bad.

I don't remember what brand of this I used, but the ingredients listed 100% organic grapeseed oil. My skin is newly dry, so I am trying to find products that effectively moisturize, but do not clog my pores. I thought since this was supposed to be relatively safe for sensitive skin I would be good. First of all, I didn't find that it was very moisturizing, in a way I felt like my skin was slightly tighter than before. It absorbed however so I decided to use in under my eyes. I used it for one night and woke up with horrible puffy bags under my eyes. I chalked it up to dehydration and lack of sleep. I put it back on the following night and woke up to extremely swollen eyes. My lids were puffy and I had flaky bags. I took benadryl and it got slightly better. I discontinued use of grapeseed oil and it continued to get better, although it took probably a full week to get the flakiness and puffy lids to go away. What a disaster, I'm not sure if anyone else had a similar experience but I hope not. Just understand that although something is supposed to be non-allergenic doesn't guarantee you won't be allergic to it.

This oil did not work for me AT ALL. It was like the worst out of all the oils I tried. (I have tried a lot, including mineral oils and petroleum and this was worse for me) And I was very excited about it because I heard it would be good for acne and bumps, but all I ever noticed was more bumps. I even started to notice that I reacted to products with grape seed oil in them. (And of course many many without it too). I have a huge bottle of it, that I don't need at all. At least it was cheap.
Some of the other things I've tried just so you get an idea are:
(I tried to put them in order of what worked best for me first)
Jojoba, Sea Buckthorn, Vaseline/Petroleum Jelly, Coconut Oil (I can't use this pure on my face but in products it seems to be "ok"), Almond oil, Mineral oil (liquid), grape seed oil
And essential oils/spot treatments/to mix into the others: Lavender, Tea Tree, Rosemary, and Peppermint.

This oil is perfect! I've had a struggle with using oils on my face since many have made me breakout like boots botanical 100% organic face oil, and coconut oil. This oil was light enough to use and helped with my acne and acne scars. I use this at night after cleansing with African black soap and when I wake up, my skin is smoother than a baby's bottom. I can't help but touch my face!

This oil has transformed my face. I can't believe I used creams to moisturize before. I used this twice daily for over 2 months. Now I use it only once a day - in the morning and use an overnight moisture mask before bed. The combination of these two is pretty incredible. No one can tell I have dry skin anymore because my skin looks plump, hydrated and bright. It must be all the vitamin C. My dark circles have significantly reduced. My skin just looks healthier. I've heard though that prolonged use of grapeseed oil can cause you to develope allergies so I'm planning on trying out Rosehip oil next. One thing I know for sure - I'm never using a cream on my skin again.
Update: Try rosehip seed oil! This has nothing on it.

I use this for OCM in the mornings. I have acne prone sensitive skin. I mix this with jojoba oil to create a mild cleanser that won't strip all moisture & make my skin so tight & dry that it overcompensates by producing more oil. This mixture decreases clogged pores as well. Grapeseed oil is a heavier oil so I wouldn't leave it on my face during the day. Instead I wipe the mixture off with a soft cloth. It leaves my skin glowing & helps me look as if I didn't drag myself out of bed on the days I go out w/o makeup. Also when I do put any other product (sunscreen, TM, etc.) on my face after using this mixture the product spreads much easier. I don't have to use as much product to get the coverage I want.
Also grapeseed oil has ceramides which makes it a great oil to use for hair care as well. I use this for pre-poo. I mix this w/ some other oils, leave it on my hair overnight, & wash out the next day. This helps my hair stay soft & manageable.

I bought my grape seed oil from Trader Joe's. I use this oil to remove physical sunscreens and eye make-up. It feels very light and doesn't irritate my sensitive acne prone skin. A year ago I tried using this by itself as a moisturizer and it clogged my really acne prone forehead and chin. Then I tried mixing it with my MD formulations antioxidant lotion and applied to my face ( avoiding forehead and chin). It made my skin look and feel so much better. I am on retin a micro, so this oil is really soothing for me. After I used it for a few months, I noticed that this oil has made my already flaky skin worse. I am sure it's perfect for people with oily acne prone skin ( not on retinoids though).The oil actually exfoliates your skin. I am still using it to remove Sunscreen and eye make-up.

I use the NOW brand grapeseed oil. This stuff is amazing for removing eye makeup! It also helps with crows feet and dark circles. If you haven't tried this stuff out yet I suggest you give it a go! It's an ALL-IN-ONE eye product. Can't go wrong! :)

Grapeseed oil is a good alternative carrier oil and skin care ingredient - especially for those allergic to nuts. It is relatively light and provides good moisturization and has hundreds of applications in topical products.
Good as a massage or bath oil.
Easily scented.
Can be emulsified to incorporate with water based lotions and creams.

Children born to older fathers are more likely to develop schizophrenia when they grow up, suggests the largest study of the issue to date.
A team of British and Swedish researchers have shown that for each extra decade in a father's age at the time of his child's birth, the child is almost 50% more likely to suffer from schizophrenia later in life.
The study of 700,000 people in Sweden suggests that over 15% of the schizophrenia cases in this group could be attributed to the patient having a father aged over 30 at birth.
"This is interesting when you have a society where the age of fathers when they have their first child has increased during the last decade," says Finn Rasmussen at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden, and a member of the team.
Having an older father is believed to increase a child's schizophrenia risk - where there is no family history of the disease - because spontaneous mutations in the father's DNA are more likely to occur in his sperm as he ages. These mutations can contribute to the overall risk of schizophrenia, as well as other diseases, in his children.
Confounding factors
Previous studies have indicated a link between a father's age and schizophrenia in his children. In 2001, scientists in New York revealed that fathers over 50 had three times the risk of having a child with schizophrenia.
Rasmussen's study is by far the largest and the only one to take into account other factors, such as socioeconomic status and other psychiatric diseases in the family, which might influence the risk of schizophrenia.
For men over 50, the new research hints at an even greater risk than the New York study. Children born to fathers aged over 50 could be as much as four or five times more likely to develop schizophrenia than those born to fathers aged 21 to 24, after accounting for confounding factors.
Additional cases
The people studied were born in Sweden between 1973 and 1980. The analysis combined birth record data with hospital data for those diagnosed with schizophrenia between 1989 and 2001. Of the 700,000 considered, 639 people developed the disorder.
Rasmussen and colleagues also applied the results of their study to the UK. Average paternal age in England and Wales has risen from 29.2 in 1980 to 32.1 in 2002.
Even assuming a conservative background rate of the disease, the team calculates that the rise in paternal age since 1980 "could have led to an additional 710 cases of schizophrenia in 2002 over and above the 5923 cases due to background incidence".
But Rasmussen stresses that the risk for any individual father and child is very low: "It's a very uncommon condition."

Notes about the dynamic vibration which caused your high speed off: It looks to me like the custom designed Panniers are mounted to far aft. Their CofG (Center of Gravity) needs to be forward of the rear axle by several percent, more is better in this case. For your kind of adventure try soft and smaller as this would help too, these are the latest tech ones:
You've moved the overall CofG of the bike to far aft and thus it's to close to or aft the Neutral point. This will cause instability to develop at a new speed (when compared to the previous configuration) in this case lower.
The rounded corner shape of the custom Panniers may be dangerous and thus cause an Asymmetric lift distribution in a cross wind gust such as when passing at speed and thus excite the dynamics of the total system.
If you don't remodel, then be sure to load all of the heavy item to the front and don't exceed a tested limit.
Good luck, stay rested and safe.
It has also been theorized that excessive unintentional operator input forces increase the oscillations to a point of control failure. The solution advised is to LOOSEN UP ON THE BARS AND RIDE IT OUT. Not easy to do in a panic situation.

Due to the latest tension regarding the three Iranian islands and the Persian Gulf, the Iranian people once again showed that they are united when it comes to national territorial issues.
Since the islamic republic is not representing iranians, the Iranian people have many times used the social medias such as face book to react to political matters and express their feelings.
The official page of King Abdullah was shut down due to 250 000 received messages in support for the Iranian island and the Persian Gulf.
The number is confirmed by king Abdullah, the translation reads:
Page King Abdullah is under attack for three days from the Iranian people, and more than 250 thousand comment with (the Persian Gulf forever).
The Marze Por Gohar Party is honored by the will of the Iranian people and condemn the Islamic republic for allowing baseless claims on Iranian national territories.

IT LOOKS a curiously clumsy anachronism, set among the modern Pyrex glass and fume cupboards. Surely this chemistry lab at Indiana University in Bloomington shouldn't contain a crude furnace constructed from bricks and mortar. It gets worse: look past the furnace and you'll see a couple of people hunched in a corner, poring over what appear to be the scrawlings of a madman. What's going on - is this the rebirth of alchemy?
Well, yes, in a way it is. The writings, set out in a laboratory notebook, describe an alchemical experiment that chemists William Newman and Catherine Reck are hoping to carry out. But Newman and Reck are perfectly sane, and so was the man who wrote the scrawls they are trying to decipher. In fact he was arguably the most famous scientist of all time, Sir Isaac Newton.

Day After School Shooting, Children's Chorus Opens SNL With Haunting "Silent Night" (VIDEO)
Saturday Night Live usually starts with a political sketch for its cold open. But the December 15 show aired one day after the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, so SNL decided to honor the tragedy without referencing it directly by having a children's chorus start the show with "Silent Night." It's beautiful.

T-Mobile to Sell Nokia Lumia 710 for $49
Article Comments
Replying to: Don't be an early adopter by ibnturab
ibnturab said:
Aside from die hard nokia or windows fans, I hope no actually seriously considers buying this device. The alternatives like ios and android are much more mature OS's and offer tons of more apps. Plus, nokia has a poor history of success with smartphones in the US and I find it hard for them to break this negative image. Most folks in USA associate nokia with the $10 prepaid trackphones and the like.
You don't have a clue as to what you're talking about. Win7 Phone has been well-reviewed and the OS runs on lesser hardware much more smoothly than Android does on higher-end hardware.

American Idol
Angie Miller "So Glad" She Risked Doing Original Song on American Idol – Exclusive
American Idol 2013 finalist Angela Miller went from being a strong early favorite to a potential superstar winner of Season 12 after performing her original song "You Set Me Free" during the Hollywood Week rounds. The American Idol judges were so wowed by the performance, they kept bringing it up during their critiques for weeks after they heard it.
Deciding to do an original song during such a critical moment in the competition was a very bold move. In an exclusive interview with Wetpaint, Angie Miller tells us why she rolled the dice in such a big way.
You took such a massive risk singing an original song. What was it that felt right about that decision?
Oh, I love that song, and it's funny like a few months before being like, "Hey, Mom. Listen to my original song." And now like singing it in front of America, it was amazing feedback.
We know how it worked out, and obviously, you landed on top. Did you consider the risks?
Definitely. I mean, choosing the song we had to do for that round for Hollywood, it was definitely a risk, and I was like, "Should I do my original?" Then I was like, "Okay. I'll just do it." And I'm so glad that I did.

Big Rock (glacial erratic)
Big Rock (also known as Okotoks Erratic) is a glacial erratic situated 7 km (4.3 mi) west of the town of Okotoks, Alberta, Canada (18 km (11 mi) south of Calgary). The 16,500-tonne (18,200-ton) quartzite boulder is the world's largest known glacial erratic.[1]
Big Rock is one of several thousand erratics found in Alberta and Montana called the Foothills Erratics Train, which originated from a landslide in the Tonquin Valley of Jasper National Park, from Lower Cambrian-aged Gog Group.[2] Big Rock was transported along the confluence of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet and the Laurentide Ice Sheet approximately 12 to 18 thousand years ago [3][4] to its present location.
The people of the Blackfoot First Nation used Big Rock as a landmark for finding a crossing over the Sheep River (where Okotoks stands today) long before European settlement. The town's name, Okotoks, is derived from "o'kotok" [ˈokətok], meaning "rock" in the Blackfoot language, and may refer to the rock.[5] The rock also contains native pictographs and was considered a medicine rock to the natives. In the 1970s the government declared it a Provincial Historic Site to protect its geological and cultural importance.
James Hector, a geologist with the Palliser Expedition, first documented the rock in 1863. He misidentified the feature as a klippe.[2]
Present day[edit]
The erratic is clearly visible from the side of Highway 7, and public parking is available at the turn-off. While there is a fence around the Big Rock and a sign telling people not to climb, many people visit the rock and ignore the warnings to either boulder or climb the 9-metre (30 ft) tall erratic.[citation needed]
In popular culture[edit]
Big Rock Brewery in Calgary is named after Big Rock.

HURLBURT FIELD — Since Jean Elton started working at the base's Thrift Shop she's been worked at four locations, has had more than a dozen managers and has seen nearly 40 years of change.
On Wednesday, volunteers at the thrift shop and members of the Hurlburt Spouse's Club gathered to celebrate Elton's service and 90th birthday.
"I just love it here," Elton said as she walked around the shop with a lit birthday tiara atop her head and a pink feather boa around her neck. "This is home for me. I just love it here. I like the people and the community who shops here."
Elton started volunteering for the shop in 1974 when the manager, a friend, asked for help.
Through the years Elton has seen many changes, but assures all who enter that prices are as low as they can be. That's how it's been since she started 39 years ago.
The petite woman has worked the same shift and duties since starting her volunteer work, but denies being an expert.
"I just do what I can," she said, smiling. "I've always worked on Wednesdays at the consignment desk.
"I'll tell you, when people come here they are just amazed at what we have: men's clothing, women's clothing, furniture. It's amazing."
Proceeds from the shop go to the Hurlburt Spouse's Club for things such as scholarships and military support service operations.
"I plan to do this as long as I can," Elton said. "It seems like we're doing something really good here and I like that."

Khartoum — Sudanese rebels said the humanitarian situation in the southern parts of the country constitutes their main concern, reiterating readiness to sign a truce with the government if the latter allows the delivery of food to the affected civilians.
In press statements released Wednesday, SPLM- North secretary general Yasir Arman said they told the African Union chief mediator Thabo Mbeki they were ready to ink a cessation of hostility agreement with the Sudanese army when Khartoum accept to allow humanitarian access to their areas in South Kordofan and Blue Nile states.
"We confirmed directly to President Mbeki that we are ready for an immediate cessation of hostilities in line with an agreement that allows the delivery of humanitarian assistance to about nearly one million civilians in the Blue Nile and South Kordofan," Arman said.
The African Union mediation said in its report to the AU Peace and Security meeting on 14 December that the resolution of the conflict in South Kordofan and Blue Nile between is crucial for the implementation of a security arrangements deal the Khartoum and Juba failed to agree on its enforcement.
However, Khartoum says the implementation of the security deal will allow to engage talks with the rebels on the conflict, demanding that Juba has stop its support to its former allies.
Khartoum, on the other, refuses to allow the humanitarian access to the rebel held areas in South Kordofan and Blue Nile saying the food will benefit also to the insurgency.
A tripartite proposal made by the UN humanitarian agencies, African Union and the Arab League did not help break the stalemate over the humanitarian access.
Khartoum says it should supervise the whole operation and the SPLM rejects the presence of government representatives in its territory with the tripartite team.
Arman said that the SPLM-N delegation to Addis Ababa is composed of its chairman Malik Agar, his deputy Abdel Aziz Hilu , himself, and humanitarian officials including Philip Niron, Ahmed Abdel Rahman Saeed, Hashim Ortah and Bakri Abdel Bassit.
He added that besides Mbeki, they met with US special envoy to Sudan Princeton Lyman, EU special envoy Rosalind Marsden, and Ambassadors of the African countries members of the AUPSC in Addis Ababa.
Sudan and South Sudan agreed today to implement the non-litigious issues in the security arrangements pledging to resume their discussions on the disengagement with SPLM-N fighters on 13 January.
Khartoum stipulates that the full implementation of the security arrangements should take place before the pumping of South Sudanese oil for exportation through the Sudanese territory and maritime ports.

Single game records arent made to be broken, at least not easily. If they were, it wouldnt have taken 19 years for a Magic player to pull down Shaquille ONeals rebounding record. The truth is, single game records are extremely hard to reach. Rarely do you see a player attain one and that is because its a result of many outside variables coming together on one very special night. For Nikola Vucevic, that night came on New Year's Eve against the defending NBA champion Miami Heat. I just wanted to go out there and be aggressive on the glass, Vucevic said after he scored a career high 20 points and set a Magic rebounding record in the overtime loss. I had no idea I would grab 29 boards. Vucevic is now No. 1 in franchise history for the most rebounds in a single game,surpassing the original Supermans 28 rebound effort against the New Jersey Nets onNov. 20, 1993. Even All-Star Dwight Howard (Superman II) couldnt reach the recordduring his seven years in Orlando. Vucevic has done it in jus...

Starz's 'Da Vinci's Demons' To Premiere At MIPTV
MIPTV today announces that Starz Entertainment's brand new drama Da Vinci's Demons, will debut as MIPTV's 2013 World Premiere TV Screening in Cannes, France. International buyers and media will get an exclusive international preview of the eight-part series' first episode in the Palais des Festivals' Grand Auditorium on Monday 8 April. Organised by Reed MIDEM, MIPTV will take place in Cannes from 8-11 April 2013.
The screening of Da Vinci's Demons will be followed by an on-stage conversation with writer and showrunner David S. Goyer, along with the series' principal cast Tom Riley and Laura Haddock. The talent will later walk the red carpet to attend the MIPTV opening night party.
Produced by Adjacent Productions for Starz Entertainment, Da Vinci's Demons is being sold internationally at MIPTV by BBC Worldwide.
Da Vinci's Demons is a historical fantasy following the 'untold' story of the world's greatest genius during his turbulent youth in Renaissance Florence. The series reveals the secret history of Leonardo Da Vinci, a young man tortured by the gift of superhuman genius. The Italian painter and inventor - a bastard son who yearned for legitimacy - finds himself in the midst of a conflict between truth and lies, religion and reason, past and future.
British actor Tom Riley (Monroe, Arcadia, Bouquet of Barbed Wire, Posh, My City) stars in the title role. Riley has received wide critical acclaim in the UK for his performances in theatre, film and on television, one of his best-known roles being in ITV's drama series Monroe. Laura Haddock (The Inbetweeners Movie, Upstairs, Downstairs, Storage 24, Strikeback, Missing) plays Lucrezia Donati, the mistress of Lorenzo Medici and Da Vinci's lover. Haddock is a 27-year-old regular of British television.

A healthy Montreal Canadiens roster (and by that I mean the return of Markov and the incredible play of Halak) has turned this team around for now.

I was hoping that the price would have been lower but I can't complain! The printer works fabulous and wouldn't trade it for the world. After giving many tests it hasn't let me down. From Newsletters to business cards to photos and presentations it's done a remarkable job for me. I highly recommend it to anyone.
This printer is really amazing. It prints very good super fast. It contains a 1200 dpi. The print quality is really nice. The prints are unambiguous and readable. It prints about 40 pages in a minute, which is really fast!! It offers a USB wire. It is easy to install and smart to use.
It is slower than I thought, but the quality is really good. I'm pleased with all that it does for the money we spent. I am happy to say that we had no trouble with set up and there is no jamming. It is worth the money we spent.
I bought this printer a few weeks ago. It is clearly designed to deliver efficiency and versatility. I found that this ultra-powerful, wide-format tabloid laser printer is easily manageable to meet the needs of our business. I got it to work quickly and efficiently. The Instant-on Technology delivers a quick first page, and is great!. The outstanding black-and-white output worked well for our needs. HP LaserJet print cartridge has produced clear, sharp text characters in our experience. This printer is perfectly suited for marketing proofs, architectural plans, or financial ledgers and spreadsheets.
These days, it makes my day when something new works with something old. We have an old system at work that just can not be replaced. They just haven't come out with a newer version, sadly. To top it off, it only has parallel and serial ports, no USB. Still, I needed a new printer that was fast and can handle endless printing. This model turned out great. Like all HP's, they have their upgraded versions for trays and networking. I got the tray, but parallel was all I needed.

'Agents of SHIELD' showrunners tease 'Agent Carter,' 'Guardians of the Galaxy' crossoversAdd to Favorites | Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" is close to kicking off filming on Season 2, which means that there are a whole new batch of secrets that showrunners Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon and executive producer Jeffrey Bell are trying to keep under wraps.
"We started hashing out the second season before we even wrapped [Season 1]," Tancharoen tells Zap2it and a few other reporters at ABC's summer TV press tour party. "We have our arcs, we have our tentpoles, and we have quite a few off the board. We're starting production on our first episode next week, so that's pretty fun."
One thing the executive produers aren't afraid to discuss is the new Coulson (Clark Gregg) that viewers will meet when Season 2 picks up. Tancharoen says Coulson is in transition from being "the kind of man to leave no man behind" to someone who has a hard time trusting others.
"Once we could say 'HYDRA' and there were double-crosses and spies in our midst, the show got really interesting, and so [we're] continuing that with SHIELD and Coulson not willing to trust people and not willing to bring people in, but having to because he doesn't have as many resources; we think we can keep that 'trust no one' alive," Bell says.
But with SHIELD destroyed and Nick Fury pretending to be dead, there aren't too many allies out there for Coulson, regardless of whether he trusts them or not. Fury tasked him to rebuild SHIELD at the end of Season 1, so Tancharoen says Season 2 picks up exploring, "What does it mean to be the director of something that's fallen apart?"
"Last we saw them, they were being hunted. They were no one's friends. They're in a bit of a pickle when we find them," Whedon says.
Austin Nichols only appeared in one episode of Season 1 as Rising Tide member Miles Lydon, but he's stayed in the "Agents of SHIELD" family as boyfriend to Chloe Bennet, who plays Skye. Tancharoen says there's a possibility they'll bring back Miles in Season 2. "A huge part of Coulson's job right now is to sort of reach out and try to find all the resources he can get. Does the Rising Tide play into that? Maybe," she says.
Since Miles was a romantic interest for Skye, it would be good to have him back as a foil to Brett Dalton's Ward. After it was revealed in Season 1 that Ward was a double agent working for HYDRA, his purpose in Season 2 has been kept Level 7 classified.
"He's in the mix," Whedon hedges. Bell says, "We love who he's become. He's really fun."
According to the producers, fans are very divided about the Ward and Skye relationship. "Half the people go, 'Just tell me he and Skye are not going to end up together,'" Bell admits. Tancharoen continues, "And then there are people who say, 'Tell me they will end up together.'"
But Skye has bigger problems to deal with than Ward. One of the final shots of Season 1 was the reveal that Raina (Ruth Negga) found Skye's mysterious father. All that Bell would say about that character is "he needs to wash his hands better." Tancharoen, meanwhile, wouldn't confirm whether viewers will find out more about him anytime soon, or if an actor will be cast to play the part.
Marvel is beefing up its TV slate in the 2014-15 season will the release of "Marvel's Agent Carter" during "Agents of SHIELD's" midseason break. That will divide the "SHIELD" season a bit differently than last year. "When we break and go to 'Agent Carter,' we're not going to leave you with something that is not satisfying, hopefully," Tancharoen says.
There is the chance that "Agents of SHIELD" will tie into "Agent Carter," which has Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas as showrunners. The "SHIELD" producers aren't ruling out that opportunity, or a tie-in to "Guardians of the Galaxy" after that movie comes out Aug. 1.
"It's a very cool opportunity that we have. Marvel, their whole thing is 'it's all connected,'" Tancharoen says. "Do we connect with 'Agent Carter'? Do we connect with 'Guardians'? Do we connect with anything else coming up?"
Just don't expect any movie-TV crossover to be quite as big as the "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" one in Season 1. "Fortunately there will not be a movie that comes out that destroys SHIELD, so our approach is definitely different this year," Whedon says. "In terms of game-changers, that's hard to beat."
"Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" Season 2 premieres Sept. 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

I purchased this item approximately 6 months ago and use it on a daily basis. I have a small kitchen so I use it to dry pans, cups, and other items in addition to wine glasses. It is a huge space saver! I have not broken a single wine glass since I started using this product. I don't even remember what I did with my wine glasses before buying this product. It is brilliant!

Comments about Glass Hanger Wine Glass Drying Rack:
I bought this rack to dry my good crystal after breaking several while they were drying on the countertop. The rack works perfectly. It keeps them safely away from getting bumped or knocked over when the countertop is full. Like after entertaining or parties. It can be handy for other things too! Like drying baby bottles or sippy cups. Easy install and folds up nicely out of the way when not being used. I recommend it
