What kind of a society (sans a god) do you think we would have if everyone believed they were born bad,couldn't help but to do bad--but that it didn't matter because they would never get thrown in jail.
In my opinion--it would be and IS chaos, but it IS chaos due to the influence of Christianity which holds to the above meta theory. (sin, repent, sin, repent--repeat when necessary without consequence)
So what is your view of a society that could do whatever they wanted to without consequences.
Views: 1380
Also, Patrick, you said, "So my instinct tells me that no society can exist in a completely a-moral environment."
It would be very hard, for a society to exist completely a-moral environment. Humans have always been social. Babies, for the most part, can not survive on their own.
I my previous statement, I do not mean to imply Ethical relativism. In fact, I think that many, of not most of societies used various other normative ethical theories, for example, such as a form of utilitarianism. Whatever increases the overall good. In which case logic would apply.
I also agree with your notion of a "rationalist goodness," one which applies the dialectical process and a form of moral negotiation. Absolutism fails. However, absolutism is not necessary for ethics. There is still objectivity in the sense that both you and I have set out.
RE: "Christians believe that their god is "all good," yet their god is guilty of genocide," etc.
Thus, it was necessary to create an antagonist, enter Satan. Interestingly, Satan is mentioned, in the OT only about .01% of the time, and in the NT, only .015%, and in fact, god himself admits to being the cause of all the world's evil:
Isaiah 45:7 "I form the light and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things."
But as the Jewish religion, and later, the Christian sect, formalized, ceased being just a scattering of oral traditions and began to be written down and conjoined into the Torah, then the Bible, and finally, the New Testament, religious leaders couldn't get much leverage within their Pavlovian reward/punishment manipulation system, by admitting that an all-loving god caused your baby to die last year, so this minor character in the Bible, Satan, began to take on a life of it's own, and from about the late 6th century AD to 1600 AD, entire legends were built around him that were never found in any religious scripture - both god and man finally had a scapegoat. Or as Flip Wilson put it so succinctly: "Da debbil made me do dat!"
Here's a poem a friend of mine wrote that touches on a few points you've made.
'Portrait of a Fundy'
He walked up to the pulpit with a bible in his hand
"The wrath of God," he shouted, "soon is coming to this land."
The congregation shuddered as they sang song 94
About the streets of glory and of hell forevermore!
There was a ghastly quiet, just as if the church was dead,
As he raised high the book he held. With flaming eyes he said:
"There is one path to glory...and we have found the way
who take the King James Bible as the only truth today.
Now our interpretation of the bible is divine;
Each man who does not want to roast had better toe the line.
And those of you who disbelieve in Jonah and the whale
who think the truth of Noah's ark is but a fairy tale;
You infidels will be consigned unto that flaming hell
Where unbelieving men are cast and fallen angels dwell;
Where fires of torment never cease to scorch the tender soul
And demons shovel brimstone much like miners shovel coal..
The evolutionist will fill the hottest part of all;
For just a drop of water in agony he'll call.
The modernist corrupter is branded on the rear
And made to dance in seething flames that never disappear.
That poor misguided minister who only spoke of love
Must walk a tightwire over hell before he gets a shove
And ends up in the seething pit with demons by his side; First he is roasted, then he's boiled and later gently fried.
Those men who fail to pay their tithe and hear the holy way
Preached by a fundamentalist will surely have to pay
By dancing on the coals of hell throughout eternity,
While up in heaven on a cloud the true believers see
The fury and the wrath of God descend on men below;
The writhing and the agony will be an endless show
To entertain those righteous men who walk the streets of gold
And sing their endless praises of the justice they behold.
What woe befalls that infidel who entertains a doubt
that in six days the earth was made and heaven was rolled out... Then filled with stars to light this globe on which all people dwell
who are not up in heaven or within the depths of hell.
There will be those who did not read a chapter every day
From God's great book, the Bible, and neglected much to pray.
Such men may be forgiven the vastness of their crime
If they support the ministry and get to church on time.
But they are not forgiven if they take the time to read
Textbooks on geology and earthly science heed.
Their future in the brazen pit is awful and malign;
Amid great clouds of seething smoke on living coals they dine.
The criminal and murderer who lived a wicked life,
Who was not known to leave alone the other fellows wife;
Who robbed and stole and cheated every person here below:
If on his death bed he repents, to heaven he will go.
But mercy on the man who lived a life of charity,
Who always helped his neighbor and did think with clarity;
If he does not believe the way of fundamental grace
He marches to the pit of hell and goes no other place.
Those men on South Sea Islands who were never told the plan...
That great plan of salvation...are tortured every man;
Their destiny, the flames of hell, will never cease to be;
They roast beside misguided men who loved philosophy.
Those who believe the Islam creed and walk the Buddhist way
Will surely feel the wrath of God begin on judgment day.
As they are hurled into those flames most awful to behold
All faithful fundamentalists will strum their harps of gold.
Yes, they shall sing 'Hosanna" to one who reigns on high
And watches endless torment from his palace in the sky.
Now go and warn the nations who are lost in chains of sin,
And spread the gospel message, for each follower you win
Is surely bound for heaven and a mansion by and by
Where he can hear the angels sing and watch those sinners fry!"
With this our fundamentalist did bow his head in grace,
and counseled God on how he ought to run this wicked place:
"Send brimstone on the sinners who will not accept our creed,
And shed thy wrath on worldly men with vengeance and with speed.
Dear lord, uphold thy servants as they labor for thy fold;
For they shall gain a crown of light and walk on streets of gold.
We praise the lord because you now forgive our every sin...
Yet blast the wicked of the world; to this we shout AMEN!"
That was awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks.. I've always loved it.. I use to show it to people and they wouldn't get it. Its like satire isn't a part of their education..
The part that relates to your post most directly... "The criminal and murderer who lived a wicked life,
Who was not known to leave alone the other fellows wife;
Who robbed and stole and cheated every person here below:
If on his death bed he repents, to heaven he will go."..
People believe this..and at the same time they think that the good man who lived a good life will go to hell if he doesn't.
What happens when an unstoppable force hits an immovable object?
Something unbelievable.
Hi Cathy
What a weird post! Being thrown in gaol is not the "consequence" that prevents me from doing wrong. In wrongdoing, there is a victim. Sometimes the victim is far enough removed that it is difficult to see immediately, and sometimes there are hundreds or thousdands of victims, up to and including the whole of mankind. Truly victimless crimes aren't really wrongdoing, they are more about etiquette.
I think you need to separate in your mind the concept of a crime and wrongdoing.
If I kill someone, I have committed wrongdoing. There is a victim who has lost their life, and the family and friends are victims, because they have lost their loved one. If there was no criminal code to call this a crime, it would still be wrong to do.
There is a common misguided idea amongst some religious people that atheists must be callous and have no morals, but that is simply rubbish. Normal atheists are as law abiding and good as any christian. Atheists can't have their wrongdoings absolved either, so I have often found them better people in themselves. They know why things are wrong without having to be told things are wrong because some supernatural alien being told some semi-mythical forefather it was wrong.

It is National Infertility Awareness Week and a good time to help educate couples that may be struggling to start a family.
One out of eight couples will experience fertility issues, and many struggle quietly for longer than they should. Dr. Stephanie Singleton, of The Fertility Center of Charleston, said: "After six months of trying to conceive without results, especially if the female is over the age of 35, it may be time to schedule a consult. An evaluation can assure that the patient's reproductive system appears normal or, if a problem is found, it can be addressed early in the process."
There are basic tests, like semen analysis and hormonal testing that can help determine a diagnosis. However, a fertility specialist will look for more specific indicators, as well. "At The Fertility Center of Charleston, we will evaluate infertility and provide treatment plans," Singleton said. "The patient stays with the same physician every step of the way."
Fertility Factors
1. Male Factor Infertility: Infertility is not just a woman's issue. Male Factor Infertility is responsible for up to 40 percent of infertility cases.
2. Age: It isn't just a number when it comes to fertility.
3. Cost: Many delay fertility treatment because of finances. However, there are programs to help offset the financial aspect of fertility.
Singleton is the only female reproductive endocrinologist in the Charleston area. The Fertility Center of Charleston is offering free consults to patients throughout the entire week in honor National Infertility Awareness Week. To learn more, go to www.fertilitycharleston.com. To schedule an appointment, call 881-7400.

I am wondering what your experiences are with how long it took to ovulate post-delivery. Before conceiving Amelia, I charted for about 9 months and had an extremely regular, predictable cycle. Now, I'm 11 weeks postpartum and I don't think I'm ovulating at all. My basal temps are lower than they've ever been (low 96s), and I don't get the mid-month temp surge. I'm sure things will return to normal, but how long???

Daniel Melvin sang "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen," and Worthy Patron Carlton Cave, Sr. reminded attendees and you can't know where you are going until you know where you have been, at the Sheba No. 14 Order of the Eastern Star, Black History Month Kumbayah Celebration at the Trinity Masonic Lodge Hall on 14th Street in Portsmouth Saturday.
"The purpose of today is the celebration of Black History Month. It is one of the very many celebrations that we are having here in the community at large, along with Shawnee State University, the Fourteenth Street Community Center," Cave said. "Last month they had the Martin Luther King memorial services, and things like that. So this is just an extension of that."
Cave said the hope among the organizers was to reach the youth of the community with the stories of those involved in the black history of America, including scientists, playwrights, sculptors, musicians, comedians, statesmen, ministers, educators, craftsmen, physicians, singers and more.
"We're trying to instill in them (youth) the heritage of not only outside of the state of Ohio, but what we have right here in Scioto County," Cave said. "(Major League All-Stars) Al Oliver and Larry Hisle; football greats Chuck Ealey and Curt Gentry, and Dr. (James) Scott, the first black coroner in the United States. So we have a rich history right here in Scioto County."
Cave said equally a part of black history is the fact that two women in the community are celebrating milestone birthdays - one is 100 and one is 103.
"This event today is of great significance because of the generation that's coming up that was not a part of the oppression," Hortense Robinson, past Grand Deputy No. 7, one of the organizers of the event, said.
At 80, Robinson has seen the struggle first hand.
"We have progressed a bit, but we still have a long way to go," he said.
Ken McCall, Grand Joshua for the state of Ohio, traveled to Portsmouth from Chillicothe to be in attendance at the event.
"If you don't remember where you've been, you don't know where you're going," McCall said. "That's the reason it is important for me to be here. It is important to remember from which we came."
February was chosen because of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, who signed the Emancipation Proclamation which ended slavery and black abolitionist Frederick Douglass.
Portia Williams gave a poetic tribute, and Cassandra Block, Worthy Matron and Mary E. Sanford, Grand Deputy No. 7 were scheduled to give remarks as a part of the program as well.
One of the last parts of the program was the singing of the Black National Anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," written by James Weldon Johnson, which reads, in part - "Stony the road we trod, bitter the chast'ning rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died; yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet come to the place for which our father's signed?"
"So all of this is what we are trying to learn to celebrate, and pass it on," Cave said. "We can't forget our heritage."

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
In the top tier of Kauai resorts, travelers have their choice of indulgences: every imaginable bell and whistle at the luxurious Grand Hyatt, attentive service at the chic Koa Kea, proximity to world-class golf at the Westin Princeville, postcard-worthy views at Whalers Cove, and so on. At the Outrigger Waipouli Beach Resort, the extravagance starts (and almost ends) in the rooms. The beautifully decorated one- and two-bedroom suites are among the most luxurious in Kauai. With granite countertops and high-end appliances from Wolf and Sub-Zero, the kitchens are a home remodeler's dream. Great beds and roomy bathrooms with separate showers and tubs create a supremely welcoming atmosphere. And the spacious layouts make the suites ideal for families.
The 118-unit Outrigger Waipouli Beach Resort will appeal to vacationers who value high-quality rooms in a quiet atmosphere. The resort goes beyond the "keys and you're done" service found at many condo resorts with extras such as check-out housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning service, and a well-staffed activities desk.
Beyond that, the hotel has little else to offer. The sandy beach is so-so for Kauai and ill-suited for swimming. The on-site restaurant serves locally-grown organic produce and fresh-caught island seafood for lunch and dinner. But a mediocre beach and lack of dining options is common at Kauai condo resorts. At the Outrigger Waipouli Beach Resort, a quick drive lands guests at better beaches, and the full kitchens allow them to do their own cooking.
Better than typical condo do-it-yourself treatment
Service here is a few notches above what most condo resorts offer. Still, for the most part guests are on their own. Don't look for room service or nightly turndown.
In a residential beach neighborhood just south of Kapaa, Kauai's biggest town
The Outrigger Waipouli Beach Resort is on Kauai's eastern shore, close to urban comforts but far from the island's best natural sights. The hotel is on Kuhio Highway, the high-traffic main road that connects the island's two largest cities, Kapaa and Lihue.
Some of Kauai's best condos
The immaculate, top-of-the-line condo units -- all outfitted with high-tech full kitchens, spacious bathrooms, and comfortable beds -- are among the most luxurious on the island. Unlike at the less expensive Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation and Castle Kiahuna Plantation, guests can count on high-quality furnishings in every room. At 898-square feet, the Outrigger Waipouli's one-bedroom suites are larger than those at the similarly priced Westin Princeville.
Guests paying top dollar to stay at the Outrigger Waipouli Beach Resort will expect above-average extras -- a pool complex and a fitness center -- and by that measure the hotel delivers. But the facilities don't stack up to what you'll find at the Westin Princeville or the Grand Hyatt, the Outrigger Waipouli's two major competitors.
No better than average for Kauai: broad, clean, and okay for wading and snorkeling
The beach at the Outrigger Waipouli Beach Resort is wider, cleaner and less steep than the shore in front of nearby Kapaa hotels like the Aston Islander on the Beach or the Kauai Coast, but it still can't match the fine south shore beaches at the Outrigger and Castle Kiahuna Plantation, Sheraton Kauai, Marriott Waiohai, or the Kauai Marriott, where guests can swim, snorkel and learn to surf in the gentle waves. All in all, the beach is fine for getting your toes wet, and, on a calm day, decent for snorkeling.
Luxury condos designed for large groups, and a great pool for youngsters
The Outrigger Waipouli Beach isn't in the top ranks of family-friendly resorts. In that category, the Grand Hyatt has five acres of pools and a better beach. The Westin Princeville has a separate kids' pool and free kid-friendly activities every day. Both have kids' clubs. Still, thanks to its spacious suites, the Outrigger Waipouli sleeps families more comfortably than either of those resorts do.
No major cleanliness issues
The staff keeps the entire resort in excellent condition.
On-site Oasis on the Beach Restaurant, open for dinner and happy hours every night and brunch on Sundays
The Outrigger Waipouli on the Beach's on-site dining options are thin, but the suite kitchens and a grocery store across the street help make up for that. And low- to midpriced local and chain restaurants are easy to find on the eastern shore, especially in Kapaa and Lihue.
At this condo resort, you get a huge one- and two-bedroom suite that's among the best on the island. A family-friendly pool is just one of the hotel's family friendly bonuses. On-site dining is slim, and the beach is unremarkable, but full kitchens, a grocery store across the street, and a convenient location can make up for those shortcomings.

Bowlsby Named New Big 12 Commissioner
IRVING, TEXAS - Big 12 Conference Board of Directors Chairman Burns Hargis has announced the unanimous selection of Bob Bowlsby as Commissioner of the Big 12 Conference. Bowlsby is recognized as one of the most respected athletic administrators in the nation, having spent the last six years as director of athletics at Stanford University.
"The institutions of the Big 12 wanted a Commissioner that could take us to the next era as a conference with the addition of TCU and WVU, and we unanimously agreed Bob is that leader," said Hargis, who is president of Oklahoma State University. "The search committee looked for a candidate that has a vision for the next generation of college athletics, and his credentials and ideas exceeded this. He understands enhancing athletic competition among conference schools, the challenge of balancing academics and athletics for our student-athletes, and working with our broadcast and bowl partners."
In accepting the offer to become the fourth Commissioner of the Big 12, Bowlsby stated, "I am proud to have been selected to lead the Big 12 Conference as its Commissioner. The member institutions represent the best in competitive intercollegiate athletics and they occupy a prominent place in the history of sports in America. I am excited to work with a very talented and committed group of Presidents and Chancellors to advance the Conference on the national sports landscape. Additionally, the directors of athletics, senior woman's administrators, faculty athletics representatives, coaches and conference office staff are among the very best in the country. The future is exceedingly bright and I look forward to engaging with my colleagues to achieve great things in the years ahead."
Bowlsby will begin his duties June 15, succeeding Acting Commissioner Chuck Neinas. "All of the institutions of the Big 12 want to recognize Chuck's great contributions as acting commissioner, helping us during a challenging time and providing a stabilizing force to lead us to today's announcement," said President Hargis. "We cannot thank him enough for his efforts."
"I first met Bob five years ago when Andrew was being recruited by Stanford," said West Virginia University Director of Athletics Oliver Luck. "He is an excellent choice for Big 12 Commissioner and will further enhance the cohesiveness of the conference. I have had two of my children compete as varsity athletes at Stanford, and I know how well-rounded the department was under his leadership. Stanford athletics has enjoyed great success with Bob at the helm, and I believe this will translate over to the Big 12. As evident in Stanford's many Director's Cup wins in recent years for on-field performance, I believe all sports in the Big 12 will flourish under Bob Bowlsby."
Since 2006, Bowlsby, a Waterloo, Iowa-native, has directed a Stanford University athletics department that sponsors 35 varsity sports and has claimed an unprecedented 17 consecutive Learfield Sports Directors Cups, emblematic of the top overall athletics program in the country.
Throughout his career, Bowlsby has emerged as a national leader in intercollegiate and amateur athletics. He was appointed to the United States Olympic Committee Board of Directors in 2007. In 2002, President George W. Bush chose Bowlsby to be a member of the Commission on Opportunities in Athletics.
Bowlsby has previously served as president of the NCAA Division I-A Athletics Directors' Association, chair of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee, and chaired the NCAA Management Council. In addition, he has also chaired the NCAA Wrestling Committee, served on NCAA committees on Financial Aid and Amateurism, the Special Committee to Review Amateurism Issues, and the Special Committee to Review Financial Conditions in Athletics.
In 1991, Bowlsby was named athletics director at the University of Iowa, a post he held until moving to Stanford. Prior to his stint overseeing the Hawkeye athletic department he served the same role for seven years at the University of Northern Iowa.

text: Shame Lipstick ($22.00) is described as a "deep berry." It's a deep, dark reddened burgundy with subtle hints of brown and ruby shimmer. This was my least favorite shade across the range because it really lacked the quality of the line in general; it was streaky, uneven, and had a tendency to feather after four hours of wear. The shade lasted well for six and a half hours and left an enduring stain behind, but the feathering (which is rare on me) was disappointing. MAC Soulfully Rich is darker, browner. MAC Endless Drama is warmer. MAC What Joy is lighter, redder. Guerlain Gigolo is brighter. Guerlain Orgueil is lighter, redder. OCC Black Dhalia is darker, less red. Burberry Bright Plum is much lighter and brighter. See comparison swatches.

As American as our stars and stripes, sweet tea and barbeque are what this country runs on. Judging by the 20 pounds Shoya Tanabe, a foreign exchange student from Japan, gained while living with the Altizer family in Mount Pleasant, Tanabe fits in just fine.
He is attending Coastal Christian Prep and has been immersed in East Cooper since August. He'll stay until June, and when Tanabe leaves, his newfound brother Jake Altizer will go with him to stay with his Japanese family for a month.
"Candy is too sweet. Water tastes different," Tanabe said. "I've gained 20 pounds since I came here."
What's his favorite food? "I like ribs. We don't have such big beef (in Japan) like ribs," he said, motioning with his hands that servings of meat are typically smaller in his hometown.
He Skypes with his parents about once a month. "They noticed," he said, laughing about his weight gain. He's still a lean 17 year old. "They saw my face," he adding, rubbing his cheeks.
It was a 14-hour trip with plane rides from his home in Okinawa to Tokyo to California to Dallas and finally to Charleston. He studied English but was overwhelmed by the speed at which everyone talked. "I couldn't communicate with people, but I can now," Tanabe said. "He spoke so slow," he added, gesturing toward Altizer.
"Since he couldn't speak (well), we just played ping pong downstairs and didn't say anything," Altizer, 16, said. "We played Xbox and didn't talk to each other."
"That was so awkward," Tanabe said and laughed.
"He's pretty much been like a brother," Altizer added. "We didn't really have any idea what to expect. He's come pretty far. He couldn't even speak to us when he first came here."
Altizer said the idea to accept a foreign exchange student came as a "spur of the moment thing." He toyed with the idea of learning Japanese and his parents thought he could study in Japan. Instead, they found a website with a lineup of available foreign students.
Tanabe's profile included an athletic history. "Shoya said he played basketball and stuff, so that's who we went with," Altizer said.
"You said a lot of them are weird, right?" he asked Tanabe.
"Yeah," Tanabe responded, laughing.
"Like geek kids?"
Tanabe nodded.
"I got pretty lucky, I guess, since you play sports."
It was a trip of many firsts for Tanabe, including adding a new sport to his repitiore: baseball. As a small school, Coastal Christian students often play more than one sport. The eager 17-year-old played baseball and basketball.
"They didn't have enough people, so I just figured I (would) play," he said. "I couldn't throw any ball. I'm not good at it. I play basketball."
Tanabe told Altizer that he wanted to learn how to play because he'd like to play catch with his children when he's older. "When I get my son, what if I couldn't throw a ball? That'd be awful," he said.
His stay in the United States also included trips to Universal Studios and the White House. He's interested in having a peace relations or ambassador career in the Okinawa government after attending the local college.
There's an American military base in his small province of Okinawa, but he said those service members cause trouble and have frequent run-ins with the law. "I don't want people to hate Americans," he said, "because I like America."
Tanabe said he'll miss his new friends, teachers and coaches but plans to Skype with them. And, he'd like to return to the United States another time.
For now, he misses his 8-year-old brother Takuya. "I only miss him," he said, laughing. "Not my parents or my sister."
Family life is one of the glaring differences between American and Japanese culture, he explained. "I've seen some different things. It's good to live in a different family. We have same dinner," he said, referring to the setting of eating together. "After dinner, we go to each of our rooms. But here, we stay together and talk."
Tanabe said he prefers the extended family time. Perhaps when he and Altizer go to Okinawa, they'll infuse that part of American culture into his Okinawa home.
"I don't know very much Japanese, so it'll probably be pretty hard," Altizer said of his expectations for the trip. "But, I'll only be gone for a month, so it'll just be for fun."
Tanabe said he plans to travel with his American brother to Tokyo to sightsee.
Cynthia Altizer, Jake's mother, boasted about Tanabe. "It's been great," she said. "Jake has two older sisters, 23 and 28 (years old), so he's been like an only child here by himself. Now that he's had Shoya here, they are just like brothers, truly like brothers."

Ban of Iranian Girl's Soccer Team Creates a Peculiar Problem
According to the Associate Press, Iran's girls' soccer team was thrown out of the Youth Olympics because FIFA rules prevent players from wearing an Islamic headscarf.
The hijab scarf — worn by girls and women to observe Islamic dress code — was not allowed under FIFA rules relating to on-field equipment, the Asian Football Confederation said. Despite the urging of Iran's national Olympic committee for the ban to be reviewed by the International Olympic Committee, the Iranian under 18 girls soccer squad will not be participating in the coming youth Olympics this August.
In response to criticism regarding the decision, FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke, referenced soccer's international rulebook which contains a section on player equipment, stating that "basic compulsory equipment must not have any political, religious or personal statements."
This is a peculiar problem for FIFA and soccer worldwide. The intent of the law was clearly to avoid religious persecution and problem by removing one potential source. Insisting that all teams wear uniforms that do not express religious or political opinions or agendas of any kind would normally help in that regard, but in this case the tolerance policy proves to be remarkably intolerant.
The best team from the Asian Football conference will not be playing in the tournament and it will be so because of a law that forces one side or the other to bend. FIFA has shown that they will not, and the Iranian Football Federation (F.F.I.R.I) certainly will not either. All in all, the whole thing is unfortunate as a team of hopeful young athletes who earned a spot in the Olympics will sit at home.
Iran was to have taken part in a six-nation tournament for girls at the inaugural competition in Singapore on Aug. 12-25. About 3,600 athletes, ages 14 to 18, will compete in 26 sports.
Thailand will now represent Asia in Iran's stead against Turkey, Equatorial Guinea, Trinidad and Tobago, Chile and Papua New Guinea.

Do you always worry about your retirement savings? Because of the unstable stock market, trembling economy and inflation, everyone would really be concerned with their savings.
If you want to have a secure future, you should have an Individual Retirement Account or IRA. It keeps your assets safe and prevents them from being lost. It is why one may have a more peaceful mind if he or she has an IRA.
What Is A Gold 401k?
If there is an IRA, there is a gold 401k, but what is it? A gold 401k is when someone wants to transfer their 401k to gold using physical bullion. It has a greater advantage to other IRAs because gold and other precious metals generally don't depreciate in value and are not affected by market changes.
What Is A Rollover?
If you have an existing IRA, you can transfer it to another IRA. Aside from that, you can use gold IRA rollover. But what is the difference?
Let's say you have account #1. If you transfer your assets to another account, which is account #2, the assets will be directed to the new account. This will be done through a check (if there are no physical assets).
On the other hand, a gold IRA rollover is "rolling over" the assets of account #1 to you first, before it will be placed on account #2.
Advantage of Gold IRA
As said in the previous paragraphs, an IRA that contains physical assets such as a gold IRA is much safer than unstable markets. Aside from that, a gold IRA has also other benefits like:
- It doesn't depend on the government. Therefore, you are the one managing your IRA.
- If there are hyperinflations, gold IRA is protected and not affected.
- If there are problems in the stock market, like irregular values of currencies, the gold IRA can't be devalued.
- Lastly, the gold IRA has a higher chance that its value will gain, instead of losing.
What To Expect When Rolling Over
If you are planning to roll over your assets, you must expect that it will be completed after 60 days, after the rollover has started. Adding up, you should only do the "rollover" once every 12 months with the same amount of money to avoid any tax penalties.
Doing Gold IRA Rollover
Now that you know the advantages of gold IRA, you may now be planning to do a rollover. Below is a basic guide on doing it:
- The first thing you need to do is find a custodian, which is really trusted.
- The custodian should be reliable because he will be the one to do almost all of the important things.
- He will be the one to buy IRS-approved gold, but only with your approval.
- He will also be the one to create your own self-directed IRA.
- The stocking of the gold is also his responsibility.
- Lastly, the custodian will be helping you in your rollover, so that you will not encounter tax penalties.

Style: American unfiltered wheat beer
History: Brewed since 1998
Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 4.8%
Availability: Year-round
The lemon wedge drops with delicious aplomb into my cup of golden liquid. A swirl of carbonation chases the wedge as it sinks below my condensation-moistened thumb then rises back to the top where it floats like a tropical island in the beer's frothy white head. I take a swig, swallowing half the glass.
I rode 136 miles for this swig, from the Harpoon Brewery on the Boston Harbor to the Harpoon Brewery in Windsor, Vermont—my longest ride ever. And one of my most rewarding.
We started with the sunrise peeking over the Atlantic Ocean, 500 of us buzzing around the parking lot of the Harpoon Brewery on a clear Saturday morning in mid-June, fueling up with complimentary muffins and partaking more urgently of the preride tune-ups. Formerly used by the Navy to build ships, the Harpoon Brewery's oblong, red brick building has held gleaming silver tanks of water, malt, hops and yeast for the past 27 years.
We are scheduled to leave in 30-person waves, designated by the average speed we think we can maintain. The first, the 16-mile-per-hour riders—helmet mirrors, CamelBaks and the odd hybrid—departs at 6 a.m. The 22-plus-mph group—aerobars, deep-dish carbon wheels and the odd pro triathlete—leaves last, at 7:30 a.m. Veteran announcer Richard Fries, whose exuberant voice puts arm hairs on end at races across the country, pleads "Save some beer for me!" as I roll out with the 19-mph-ers. We start slow, cruising down centuries-old cobbled streets, past Revolutionary War-era landmarks and classic New England pubs. When we come to a full stop near Harvard Square, I share my anticipation of the awaiting kegs with a fellow rider.
"Actually, I'm not too into beer after eating all those Clif Bars and Shots," he says. "I wish they had big jugs of milk waiting for us." The surrounding cyclists let out a collective, stomach-churning groan.
To no one in particular, I say, "Just 130 more miles to beer."
Summer Beer, 4:10 p.m.
Style: Kolsch-style ale
History: Brewed since 1999
ABV: 5.0% Availability: April to August
I'm already buzzed when I begin nursing my second refreshment. I must look kind of lost, because Brett Simmons waves me over to his picnic table. The demolished remnants of grilled chicken, burgers and assorted sides provided by the Windsor Volunteer Fire Department litter the checkered tablecloth. Everyone's showered, fed, smiling.
Brett was 12 years old when he started collecting beer cans with his dad. Today the collection, which includes more than 3,000 cans—not to mention other breweriana like old signs and bottle openers—engulfs his boyhood home near Cooperstown, New York. Living near the Baseball Hall of Fame, Brett's father harbored pro-ball-player dreams for his son. Growing up to be a brewer at Harpoon, Brett says, ended up being "a close second."
Brett is sitting with Jaime Schier, who's also a brewer for Harpoon. Jaime's wife, Mary, his daughter Allison, and their friend Susan worked the 100-mile-mark rest stop, and in doing so were granted $500 toward the charity of their choice by Harpoon. As the second of only two feed stations on the B2B (the first is at mile 50), their rest stop was a welcome relief--as well as a daunting landmark.
I'd breezed to the first rest stop tucked behind the Blue Hills Bicycling Club, a racer-ish-looking group from south of Boston. Another 86 miles seemed like a formality—until I saw my newfound hammerhead friends from Blue Hills fanning themselves at the edge of a nearby stream, their fully unzipped jerseys revealing bright-red chests.
My replacement pack for the next 50 miles—which contained the bulk of the B2B's 6,000-plus feet of climbing, including a gradual 1,000-foot ascent from miles 50 to 55—consisted of the much less serious squadras Monsters in the Basement and Can Crash Cycling Club. Deprived of my free ride, when I finally reached the rest stop at mile 100, I was tempted to join the riders I saw lying across 25-pound bags of ice. Instead, I reached for the jars of pickles and tubs of pretzel sticks. Sure, it could be argued that I was replacing the valuable electrolytes and salt I'd lost through sweating out a tough 50 miles; but really, the pretzels reminded me there were just 36 more miles to beer.
Brown Session Ale, 4:41 p.m.
Style: American brown ale
History: Brewed since 2007 ABV: 4.3%
Availability: Year-round
The beer line is long when I sidle up to Joe Tack, a former brewer at Harpoon who's now in biopharmaceuticals—creating beer from live yeast, Joe tells me, was the first bioscience. Gregarious and worldly, Joe retains enough New England grit to down the occasional PBR tallboy during hard training rides.
At mile 125, both Joe and I encountered the collective worry of the B2B—that a bonk might keep us from the molasses-like Brown Session Ale we knew awaited us. Besides his recent bike tour of Burma, Joe's training consisted mostly of his 20-mile round-trip commute. But, having ridden six B2Bs—every one but the first—he knew how to handle the ever-more-steeply tiered hills that lead into Windsor; he was stopped at an ice cream stand, licking a chocolate-chip cookie-dough sugar cone when I came pedaling by. I'd been chugging along at 20 mph when the double yellow line began making psychedelic squiggles and the songbirds suddenly sang in eerie unison. I was bonking. Only through a now-obsessive thirst for ale did I summit the final, cruel climb. The brewery was at the top.
Harpoon IPA, 5:45 p.m.
Style: India Pale Ale
History: Brewed since 1993
Availability: Year-round
"Ah, carbohydrates," sighs a still-chamois-clad cyclist as he totters away from the beer tent, Harpoon in hand. Yes, I've read that the carbohydrates from beer do little to replenish glycogen stores—and even turn to fat more quickly than the sugars from more healthful sources. Obviously the research of a wine drinker.

Occlusion Training For Injury Rehab?
I underwent discectomy surgery 5 or 6 months ago on my L5-S1 disc, my physiotherapist has recommended kaatsu/occlusion training to build back a little strength and size whilst I still can't use heavy loads.
The problem is I can only find studies that testify to the efficacy of occlusion, usually by applying it to one muscle group (typically the quadriceps). However, I'm wanting to use occlusion to build a balanced full body routine, not to bring up a lagging body part or supplement a standard strength training routine. The closest to decent information I've come to was two studies by "Jeremy Loenneke", a member of this site who appears to no longer be active.
I guess I must need spoonfeeding because despite the papers being rather thorough, I'm still at a loss as to how to structure such a routine since I can't apply much of my knowledge of strength training to this field, which is alien to me.
My physio recommended 1 upper and 1 lower exercise per day, 4 sets to failure with 20% 1MR, 9 days on, 4 days off. A study I read that did similarly amongst American football players used only squat and bench press, but I can't imagine that will do wonders for my upper back and deltoid size, or my pull-up strength etc. But if I do, say;
Day 1 - Squat + Bench
Day 2 - Deadlift + Lat Pull / Inverted Row
Day 3 - Calf Raise + Military Press
And so forth...
Will this reduced frequency in hitting each body part hinder results? What exactly is optimal in occlusion training?
Apologies for the length of the post but I've found frustratingly little about this via Google.
Any recommendations on how I can go about this?
Occlusion training has its roots in rehab and it can effectively aid the healing of an injured muscle. Check out the article on ABC here before proceeding:
Use wide knee wraps. You can occlude your quads/hams by wrapping up thight, calve by wrapping just above or below the knee. Delts/biceps/triceps/forearms are pretty easy to wrap you made need a partner to help you. There isn't really any way to occlude your chest or back though.

Vision is purpose, and when your purpose is clear so are your life choices. Vision creates faith and faith creates willpower. With faith there is no anxiety, no doubt - just absolute confidence." - Arnold Schwarzenegger
Thank you for the reply,
As mentioned in my original post I have already read both articles Jeremy Loenneke's posted to this site, which is why I joined up, I have a few follow up questions I didn't feel were answered.
The article lists exercise recommendations, but not recommended volume or frequency. My physiotherapist recommended only one upper body and one lower body exercise per day for 9 days straight then resting 4 days, so all I've been able to do is combine the two sources of information and then attempt to make a routine that covers my full body.
I really have no idea how effective this would be though, occlusion is such a foreign way of training to me, here's what a I drew up laid out in it's entirity;
Day 1 - Bench + Squat
Day 2 - Barbell Row + Leg Ext.
Day 3 - Military Press + Trap Deadlift
Day 4 - Lat Pull + Leg Curl
Day 5 - Skullcrusher + Calf Raise
Day 6 - Zottman Curl + Romanian Deadlift
Day 7 - Bench + Squat
Day 8 - Barbell Row + Leg Ext.
Day 9 - Military Press + Trap Deadlift
Day 10 - Rest
Day 12 - Rest
Day 13 - Rest
Day 14 -Rest
Oh and I decided to use blood pressure cuffs instead of knee wraps.

Leonneke provide you with the volume (sets/reps) in this article. It appears you probably have it.
As a powerlifter, I implement Occlusion Training on my off days as a means of recovery and hypertrophy training.
My knowledge is limited to that area and not to rehab. So, I don't cannot provided you with any rehab information.
It took me a while to understand it and ease into it.
When you examine the concept, you find that bodybuilders have utilized some form of blood restrtiction training forever.
Muscle contractions restrict venous blood flow back to the heart. Thus, moderate to high repetition sets create "The Pump" which means venous blood flow to back to the heart has been restricted.
"The Pump" means blood is dammed up in the muscle.
Another method that bodybuilders use is to maintain constant tension on the muscles in a set by not resting the bar at the bottom or locking it out at the top of the movement. That restricts blood flow.
Thus, Occlusion Training is build on "The Pump" and what bodybuilders have done forever.
"The Pump" creates an anabolic enviroment for muscle growth.
Give it a try and see how it works.
Occlusion Training definitely has a place on the training table.

I guarantee it will never work if you never try it.

as i assume you do not have a kaatsu device. you can wrap your limbs proximally with knee wraps at a 7/10 perceived pressure. you can get your delt in there if you get the knee wraps high enough. hope this helps, PM me if you have more questions

A When you have a job you love you don't need much motivation. I love working with the volunteers here and serving our troops and their families always puts a smile on my face.
Q Can you tell us a little about your colleagues at the USO?
A Felice Gillum (my boss and the Director) is by far one of the kindest people you'll ever meet and brings out the best in me as well as others.
Q Have there been any defining moments for you at the USO?
A We just finished our 3rd year partnering with Portraits of Love, and we had a family that showed up late for their session. The mom was flustered and in tears because she thought that they weren't going to be able to get their pictures taken. I explained to her that this wasn't a problem and that they'd still be able to get their free photo session. I thoroughly enjoy being able to provide services to our military families because they deserve it.
Craig Opel
VP, Information Technology | Arlington, Va.
Alma Mater: U.S. Naval Academy
A I had a burning desire to get into the "helping and happiness" business.
A The hope that I am helping our service members and their families in some small way motivates me to work every day.
Q What does a typical day at the USO look like for you?
A Making measureable progress in delivering IT services to our country's warriors and USO team members is what I do!
Q What do you enjoy most about your work?
A I enjoy being able to be a part of the passion and excitement exhibited by fellow USO employees as they go about their jobs and knowing that in some way we are contributing to the happiness of our military personnel serving in harm's way.
Catherine Janney
Director, Regional Development | Arlington, Va.
Hobbies: hiking, camping, geocaching, gardening
A Having worked in sports my whole career before joining the USO, I was looking for a position that could utilize my skills but in an organization where I felt my efforts could make a difference for others.
Q What do you enjoy most about working for the USO?
A I enjoy meeting and interacting with such a diverse group of individuals on a daily basis. There is never a day that I go home and don't feel good about the work that we do at the USO.
A Being located in Arlington, we don't get to interact with troops and families, so it's a big challenge to actually see what the USO does for troops and families. But the stories, pictures, videos, etc. that we receive from the field helps tremendously to motivate me. It's great to see that what I do in my office supports the hands on experiences in the centers around the world.
A I had the privilege of witnessing a dignified transfer at Dover. I do consider that a privilege since it's a very personal and intimate situation for the families. That day it all came into focus for me – why we as a country must support those who serve our country. My work at the USO is a just a small contribution.
Maggie Constantino
Center Operations Manager| USO Yokosuka, Japan
Hobbies: reading, taking long walks and napping
A My great team of both staff and volunteers. Furthermore, as a military spouse and with my husband constantly deployed, working at the USO helps me to cope with the long separation time by helping others in my same predicament. In many ways, spending time with the young sailors and military spouses motivates me to do the best I can with providing supportive and worthwhile programs for this military community, not only because the sailors deserve it, but also as a military spouse, need it.
A Supportive and positive.
A The great people I meet every day. I am surrounded by people who care.
A A young mother of three with another on the way, she is active duty spouse, and will be enduring her first deployment without her husband this summer. With this, we at the USO Yokosuka held a first time event called "Girl's Morning" with free babysitting and goodies for young mothers like her and after the event was finished, she grabbed both of my hands and said thank you for remembering spouses like her. She didn't have much money to do things on her own but was grateful for some quiet time and was able to relax and have fun before her husband left.
Rhenda White-Brunner
Center Director | USO Dallas/Fort Worth
Q Why did you decide to become a part of the USO team and what motivates you to come to work every day?
A I wanted to be part of a mission that honors our military and their families. I am from a military family and to be able to "pay it forward" is hugely rewarding. And the opportunity to be part of a mission that delivers warm positive regard and goodness to our military and their families. Each day we get to make a difference.
Q What's a typical day for you at the USO?
A Our USO Center will have greeted 400 military guests offering airline club type amenities and travel information. In our United Through Reading® room service members will have read a children's book recorded to DVD to send to their children. We are out in our community supporting military family days. We will be working alongside supporters and volunteers.
Q What is on the horizon in your USO career?
A I hope to have the pleasure/honor of this being the last job in my professional career. It has been the best one.

The Navasota Rattler football team is one game away from making an appearance in the state championship game. The Rattlers are undefeated and there's a lot of anticipation with the outcome of tonight's game against Bellville.
If the Rattlers win Friday night's game -- it would be an historical moment this small town hasn't seen in more than 20 years.
"Our team has done so well over the last six years," explained Navasota Mayor Bert Miller.
"Everyone is so excited about the season," said Navasota High School Senior and Rattler linebacker Will Imhoff. "We're doing really, really well."
Whether you understand the game or not, there is something about football that rekindles spirits and brings communities and the people who live inside --together -- as one.
"It's amazing just looking up and seeing over 5,000 people in the stands," explained Navasota High School Senior and Cheerleader Bailey Sharp.
"The way the community has gotten together and everyone is fired up about the game, is just unreal," said quarterback Kadarius Baker. "It just makes us even more hyped up about winning when we're on the field, and so we're playing for the fans and the community."
The undefeated Navasota Rattlers have painted the town with their winning streak this holiday season. December is certainly the season to remember in Navasota as the Rattlers hit the field to bring home the state title for the first time since 1988.
"It hasn't happened in over 20 years so this probably the biggest thing this community has and we all come together as a family," added Senior Chase Shelton.
The locals, the fans and everyone else in Rattler nation are confident their team has what it takes to bring it home.

Isn't it only a third of a story now? I read that Jackson was splitting it into three movies.
Isn't it only a third of a story now? I read that Jackson was splitting it into three movies.
As far as I know right now, there is going to be three films but the story of the Hobbit is in the first two. I don't remember the book too well but I think they're running another plot line across the first two that leads into the third, based on a particular scene that I am rather certain was not in the book but I know happened to lead up to the events between the Hobbit and LOTR.
Spoiler!The meeting of the White Council at Rivendell. Since Bilbo wasn't there it wouldn't have been in The Hobbit. At it they discuss the Necromancer in Mirkwood and I know that the White Council oust it from there inbetween The Hobbit and LOTR, so I guess that's going to be the bulk of the third film.
Huh. I haven't read The Hobbit in over a decade, and I was so bored by the first Lord of the Rings book that I quit it not too far after Tom Bombadil, so I have no idea what that really means. Jackson will obviously be throwing some action in there too, I reckon. Still seems really pointless.
I did the same the first time I tried reading LOTR, Book 1 is a real drag.
Basically, there were loads of notes Tolkien made on what happened outside the two books and the third film covers what happens between them.
'Willow' is coming to Bluray this upcoming March and they're finally including the deleted scenes and all that as extras.
I'm pretty stoked.
I never did watch that. I remember the arcade game though. Was good.
Willow was great. If I had a Blu-Ray player I would get that.
Dude, I always have wanted the Val Kilmer haircut, with the braid. Totally doing that when it gets long enough.
"The original Red Dawn still holds up"
@Stevil: I don't know, I still haven't seen Infernal Affairs, but I like The Departed well enough. And I love all the classic Westerns (Leone's Man With No Name, etc) that were adaptations of Kurosawa films. This is just going the other way. Plus Ken Watanabe is so handsome ^_^
I like both, but IA is leaner, subtle with the acting, less absurd with the violence, and a lot more focused. If I had to choose between watching one or the other, I'd pick IA every time. The Departed is a bit bloated and daft in comparison, but that's because everyone is doing "big acting" and it tries jamming in plot elements from Infernal Affairs 2.
Unforgiven is a weird kind of remake, and I don't think it has that kind of pedigree behind it, which makes the original facinating. It's a love letter to the western, it's also the death of all of those myths, plus its Clint's reflection on all the "heroic" characters he played for Leone and Siegel. The movie is about him as much as it is about the genre.
This just seems like Unforgiven but set in Japan and not much else; which ain't bad and it definitely has something to work with - the romance of a ronin - but I don't feel like it'll have much to say.
Kurosawa remakes are fine. I like the concept of Seven Samurai. You can take it out of Feudal Japan and stick it in a Western/Sci-Fi/whatever to get the same results. Same goes for Yojimbo; another movie you can set anywhere - even if Last Man Standing was a bit meh. I think those movies really depend on a good eye, than the simple stories involved.
The Invisible Man (1933) - Man, Claude Rains is awesome. He had a really menacing voice, so he's able to be taken seriously even when saying some pretty silly lines. On more than one occasion, he says he has the power to make the world "grovel at my feet", even though world domination through mere invisibility seems pretty ridiculous. This aspect of the film I think is played very tounge-in-cheek, and the movie in general has a very humorous tone to it, provided by the delightfully deranged invisible man. Also, the special effects are amazing for the time, and although flawed, still fascinates today. It's one of the most entertaining movies of the time that I've seen.
Watched Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare and finally got round to watching Pan's Labyrinth.
Final Nightmare was pretty meh, just felt sort of tired and didn't really have much direction. Most of the deaths just felt like they were scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas - there's even an inexplicable early 90's videogame scene at one point that just feels tacky.
Pan's Labyrinth I really enjoyed. Loved the mix of fantasy and really dark historical setting, and I like how simple the story was, just felt really well done generally.
Caught The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey today. I watched two of the three LotR movies earlier this year, and recall the third well enough to say that I'm pretty sure I like this movie more than any of those. If the next two keep it up this trilogy will easily be one I watch more often than the previous one. Everything just works better for me, from the protagonists to things like the camera work. None of that weird slowed down/blurred stuff like when the Uruk'hai were running through the woods in Fellowship (that annoys me every time I see it). Bilbo and the dwarves are more interesting and fun to watch than Frodo and Sam, though of course I dig the LotR movies' cast and characters as well. I will say that there being so many members of the Dwarven company in this means that there are a few that just don't stand out, though most of them get their chance in this first Hobbit flick.
Something that stood out to me was the male-bonding vibe in it, which in retrospect made me think about all the male-bonding in the LotR movies. Which made me think about all the male-bonding in adventure and action movies in general. Or even movies in general.
Man...you know what I just realized? I should watch more movies that involve male bonding. I tried to think of an example just now and came up completely blank. All the stuff I like is about isolated loners. Like the TDK trilogy, Saw II, The Usual Suspects...alright so Usual Suspects does involve male bonding. I like the part where del Toro starts talking in his tard voice and the other actors can't keep a straight face. That was genuine too, nobody planned it.
I'm also comparing myself to del Toro because I have no idea where I'm going with this
Funny story about the line-up scene in Usual Suspects: it was supposed to be serious, but del Toro couldn't stop farting, so everyone kept cracking. Finally the director said fuck it and let them be idiots. As an added bit, the fourth guy in the line is known for being quite serious, so they spent the entire movie trying to get him to laugh. They finally did. All because of del Toro's stank ass.
Moonrise Kingdom. So damn quirky and fun. Plenty of funny moments in a rather feel-good film.

A term used among women to describe when a man (or woman) they have been seeing for a while stops taking their calls and answering their texts. These actions are usually preceded by many a broken promise to "hang out" "have a drink or two" or "catch up" on the part of the Ghoster. The Ghostee is left wondering whether the person that was just inside of them two weeks ago is now alive or dead. Neither can be definitively proven.
I had been sleeping with Todd for about a year and a half before he Ghosted me. Even a "Fuck You" would have been better.

Excellent purchase This jacket fits perfectly- size M Petite. 5'2" 128# I did call Cust Svce. before ordering to be sure- am top heavy.. The colors are wonderful, it works with jeans, skirt, dress, etc. Have worn it twice and had 3 compliments from other women (from teens to "older"). Sleeve length is perfect, tailoring is good and buttons are beautiful. Just the right weight for fall/winter in the south and fall/spring in the north. Travelsmith products are the best! February 14, 2015
Just Fabulous! Perfect fit. Sleeves are long enough, but if too long, can be turned up with lovely lining showing. I worried about it being boxey along with plaid, but it does not add pounds. Great fabric, mostly "reads" red, turquoise and yellow. Dresses up any outfit....especially when traveling. Good quality, lining is a plus, will provide a little warmth on chilly evenings or air-conditioned restaurants. Buy this one if you are on the fence! Great sale price now, too. January 29, 2015
Love this jacket Jacket arrived quickly, has Good fit and comfortable. February 15, 2015
Stunning look! Just began wearing this recent purchase as our Tucson weather got a chill. Every time I wear it, someone compliments it...at the grocery, in a retail shop, at the bank...ALL the ladies adore it. And it's surprisingly just the right weight for chilly desert days and cold evenings. Hesitated a long time before ordering it but am so happy I did! November 22, 2014
Beautiful Jacket It is a beautiful jacket. Unfortunately here in S. Texas it is heavier than I would be able to wear. So disappointed! August 23, 2014
Nice but not for me Based on other reviews and comments, I ordered this jacket in size small. Arms were a bit tight and so was the jacket overall, but a medium would be too big. The jacket is thicker than I expected and the boxy cut does it not one that works well on me. It just was not my style, so has been returned, but it might work for you. July 30, 2014
unique, but surprisingly heavy I hadn't quite expected it would be what I'd call a fall/winter weight, but I did find it attractive so I kept it. Probably will wear it on cooler days of a cruise. The colors are somewhat more muted than in the pictures, but that didn't bother me. I liked its short length as I'm 5'3 and most jackets are too long for me. The only problem was the uncomfortably small button holes. I managed to push the buttons through (force, is more like it) but I expect to wear the jacket open, otherwise this would be a big annoyance. The buttons are very attractive though. Overall, a nice jacket that would go with almost anything solid. July 23, 2014
Very colorful and versatile This jacket is well made and goes with many different pairs of slacks. August 13, 2014

- Film Festivals / Film Festival Research : thematic, annotated bibliography (2008)
- Film festivals have been the blank spot of cinema scholarship throughout most of the twentieth century. Although individual festival histories and anniversary books have been published for many years and the topic of film festivals has occasionally been addressed in academic studies – focusing for example on art or national cinemas – the phenomenon of film festivals was, until recently, rarely the main focus of study. In the last few years, academics have turned to study the broad range of film festival constituencies. These works aim to explain, theorize, and historicize film festivals and, in doing so, point to the emergence of a new field of academic study, film festival research, in which knowledge of festivals is considered essential for our understanding of cinema cultures.

Primary school children come from a variety of backgrounds and families. Celebrating and acknowledging different families is crucial to make all children feel welcome and enable them to learn how to value those who are different.
Children prosper academically and developmentally in classrooms where they feel welcome and safe. Unfortunately, hurtful language is very commonplace in primary schools. Three quarters of primary school teachers report hearing the word "gay" being used as an insult or to mean that something is rubbish.
This sort of homophobic language can affect any students perceived as different including boys who apply themselves academically, girls who "behave like boys" and kids with gay parents.
Through Primary School Champions, Stonewall partners with primary schools to help them celebrate different families and address homophobic language in the classroom.
You will meet your legal requirements under the Equality Act and from Education Scotland inspections. New changes in the law require schools to take proactive action. The Equality Act 2010 introduced for the first time a duty on schools requiring them actively to tackle issues such as homophobic bullying and the protection of those who might experience it. Being part of the programme will help to ensure you are complying with the Act. During school inspections, inspectors from Education Scotland evaluate the extent to which all young people are cared for, treated fairly and with respect, and listened to. They look at anti-bullying policies and how the school promotes equality and diversity. Inspectors also evaluate how the learning needs of all young people are being met. If bullying or unfair treatment are found to have an adverse impact on young people's health and wellbeing, learning or achievement, this will be taken into account in deciding the overall evaluations of the school's performance.
You will help your students reach their potential. Celebrating difference and tackling homophobic bullying helps to promote an environment for students that is conducive to optimal learning and development. Homophobic bullying can have a profoundly damaging impact on young people's secondary school experience. A third of gay pupils experience bullying which leads them to change their future educational plans and three in five say it harms their academic performance. By working with Stonewall to mitigate the worst harms of homophobic bullying, you can help push your students towards their academic goals.
You will empower your staff. It can be challenging to tackle homophobic bullying and gender stereotyping in secondary schools. Nine out of ten secondary school teachers say they not received any specific training on how to tackle homophobic bullying. Stonewall can empower your teachers by giving expert and tailored advice.

For anyone looking for a nice RED eyeshadow, and I do mean pure red, not purple red, slightly orange red, brown based red, no, RED, this is the shadow! Flamepoint is a wonderfully pigmented shade of red! The color is vibrant, as are all of Sugarpills, and a little really does go a loooonnnnggg way. These shadows pack a punch and this one is most definitely no exception.
It's a highly pigmented and easy to apply bright yellow, which wipes the floor with a lot of other colourful mattes brands have brought out. It's smooth so application is easy, opacity is not hard to achieve, and it blends wonderfully. My only complaint is that it's slightly chalky/powdery in texture, but not so much that it would be a problem.

Of the Sugarpill eyeshadows I have used, Flamepoint is the absolute most pigmented of them all. They are all extremely high quality as it is, but in particular Flamepoint applies with full opacity in no time at all, and with very little effort. It seems almost too good to be true, but I really recommend you try it out for yourself, and you will see what I mean! Because it's also so soft and smooth application is easy, and blending doesn't pose any problems. For those who love colour I urge you to try out Sugarpill!
It's difficult to find red eyeshadows, especially ones that are so highly pigmented, smooth and easy to apply. This particular shadow ticks all the boxes for me. Because it's so highly pigmented it's easy to achieve full opacity, and despite being matte it's also easy to blend. Another bonus is that Sugarpill eyeshadows are huge, so unless you use it very frequently it'll take a good while to use up.

The best matte purple eyeshadow I have ever used. It's soft, smooth and highly pigmented. I never experience any problems with application – the shadow is buildable to achieve full opacity, and it also nicely blendable. One of the things I love about this eyeshadow is that when you blend it out it has quite a natural fade to pink, which means you don't have to go to the extra effort of placing a lighter colour to help the transition. The only possible downside is that it does stain the eyelids quite noticeably. Make up remover (even ones that remove the hardest eyeliners and mascaras) cannot completely remove the stain, but a shower usually does the trick.
Lovely eyeshadow formula, generous amount in a practical package. Very finely-milled matte black. I personally bought this to use as an eyeliner. For me it is a true charcoal black in a very soft formula w/o silicone, mineral oil, or glitter (sensitive eyes).
The downside–buttery soft eyeshadow in a large pan is fragile and susceptible to cracking. My Bulletproof developed a fracture just from being in a makeup bag that never leaves my vanity. Not so 'bulletproof', but well loved–only black e/s for me.
Highly pigmented, velvety smooth luxury pressed eyeshadows for all-night pary wear.
