Liv Tyler's playing favorites!
The actress stopped by Wednesday's "Watch What Happens Live" where she played "Plead the Fifth" with host Andy Cohen. Liv answered all of her questions, even when Andy asked her to play a game of "Marry, F--k, Kill" with a few of her male costars.
Check out the video above to find out who Liv would pick to "Marry, F--k, Kill" between Justin Theroux, Ben Affleck and Orlando Bloom!
We definitely didn't see that one coming -- wonder how the sexy star feels about being "killed"?
The fun didn't stop there, the "Armageddon" star also dished about Jennifer Aniston's fiance's bulge -- the two currently star on the TV series "The Leftovers" ... and Tyler says there's been a few distracting moments on set.
"There was this scene where he was jogging," the 37-year-old told Cohen, "and there was quite a large bulge in his sweatpants and it was all over."
"I get distracted when I watch the pilot, definitely," Liv continued. "I'm like, 'Can't help but look there.' But I've never noticed the bulge other times."
So maybe that's why the brunette beauty chose to marry Justin?
What do you think about Liv's candid confessions? Tell toofab in the comment section below!

It's easy to see why jacked-up, 4x4 Audi Allroad-style estates have become so popular - they offer all the space, off-road ability and styling flair that most modern families could wish for. So it's hardly surprising that Vauxhall has followed suit.
We've already driven the entry-level 163bhp Vauxhall Insignia Country Tourer with a manual gearbox, but this is the range-topping 192bhp BiTurbo model only available with a six-speed auto, which is a bit of a shame. It's all well and good having an extra 29bhp and 50Nm of torque to play with, but the gearbox never feels sporty enough to make it worth your while.
Settle into a cruise and it slides between ratios smoothly enough, but plant your right foot and it's slow to kick down. Although you can change gear manually by pulling and pushing the gearlever, there are no paddles on the wheel to truly engage you with the driving experience.
The engine pulls strongly, as you'd expect, but is a bit gruff during acceleration and is certainly no hot-rod. When you consider it's an astonishing 20mpg thirstier than the 163bhp manual model that's ultimately more engaging to drive, it's hard to make a case for it.
As an overall package though, the Country Tourer is an easy car to like. The cladding around the arches and sills, plus a 20mm increase in ride height make it a bit of a head-turner - especially if you go for a lighter paint colour. Most of the time the ride feels reassuringly firm, with tight body control for a tall car in the bends, but over larger lumps and holes extra cushioning becomes apparent. The four-wheel drive system only sends power to the rear when needed, but it's a seamless process - not once did it scrabble for traction even during a torrential downpour.
All Country Tourers come with an electric tailgate, adaptive headlights and parking sensors as standard, while our top-spec Nav models added Vauxhall's latest IntelliLink sat nav, complete with a futuristic, but fiddly to use track-pad controller.
Based on the Sports Tourer, the Country Tourer has the same spacious interior and one of the biggest boots in its class at 540 litres, or 1,530 litres with the rear seats down.
Go for the Country Tourer Nav specification, and Vauxhall throws in an 8-inch colour touch screen, a track-pad and an 8-inch digital instrument cluster behind the wheel.
saw one of these In Selva Gardena in February in a light gold colour looked fantastic ,everyone commented on its looks. Watch out Audi and VW a new kid on the block and to my eyes is the best looking in this group and best value to
it will lose money. In six months it will be worth half of it's value mebbe more as Vauxhalls always do
Waiting for the New Octavia Scout in June - Insignias are just repmobiles that depreciate like stones.
The efficiency figures for this car read like those of a decade ago... astonishing.
What a pathetic and uncritical review - "one of the biggest boots in its class"? Rubbish - the Octavia estate (4x4 or Scout) has 610/1740 litres.
The Octavia is also lighter, MUCH faster (even with the 150PS engine), cleaner, more economical and really great to drive. No-one with any sense should buy an Insignia Country Tourer while the Octavia 4x4 or Scout exists.
Vauxhall need to pull their fingers out and develop or buy in a decent auto with the DSG's from VAG and the 8Spds ZF's in Ze Germans (JLR aswell) leading the way (the new 9spd ZFs in the transverse applications now aswell in the Evoque and Jeep)
The auto's are really letting them down. Same thing with Pug/Citroen. Their dated 6 spd tq boxes are really embarrassing giving 10-20mpg losses against the manuals and big performance drops when the other auto boxes actually improve economy and performance.
Skoda owner or employed at VAG dealer - 1st example (see below for more).
Skoda owner or employed at VAG dealer - 2nd example (see below for more)......
Skoda owner or employed at VAG dealer - 3rd example.
Getting a picture folks? Propaganda of the German kind me thinks.
I hate to embarrass you more than being an owner of a Vauxhall does, but erm, Skoda is a Czech car maker, not a German one, it is only owned by a German car maker. And VAG ceased to exist over a decade ago, it has been VW Group for years. And would you really REALLY pay 30k+ for that Insignia?
Aren't the Astra and Insignia German designed? Just goes to show that not all German cars are good!
^Warning Bell-end alert. 1st example (see below for more).
Ladies and gentleman, I'd like to take the opportunity to remind you that this nutter is a bell-end - 2nd example (see below for more).....
To whom it may concern...the naughty little boy above is a bell-end - 3rd example.
Getting a picture folks? Propaganda coming out of his backside me thinks.
Sorry but I'm with DC on this. We have just read that a ducking octavia 4x4 gets 5*. I right??!! Propaganda of the Herman Ze German def!!
BTW nearly everyone still refers to VAG - it's quicker to write for a kick-off!
Actually mate, by replying to him in the 1st place renders you a bit of male appendage yourself. Go on admit it - you can't drive yet can you?
AE needs to filter out these 14-16 year old lads from commenting (i.e. they like their dad's car)
Don't know. Need to check. Didn't think they were?
Any ideas?
Adam Opel AG is the parent company of General Motors UK Limited, better
known as Vauxhall, and various other General Motors subsidiaries.
Some Opels are built in the UK, but it's in Germany where the designs and decisions are made. Vauxhall is now just a badge stuck onto Opels for the UK market. Of course, GM is American owned.
It's a similar story with Ford Europe. Largely German designed.
Hope this helps.
VW stopped using VAG because an American woman said she was offended.
Skodas use VW engineering and components and merely assemble.
Vauxhalls are actually very good these days.
DSG are heavy and unnecessarily complex and a maintenance time bomb. Simpler is better.

The results are finally in (thank you, Brown) for the 2011 performance rankings of the eight Ivy League endowments. They are ordered below from the worst percentage return to the best.
If you can't guess the winner (of course, you're all winners, like little league), we won't spoil the fun. You'll just have to page through to see if you're right.
We also throw in a few other interesting tidbits, such as average annual performances over the last decade (although not every school reported this).
Being a private equity crew, what you may care most about is how each school did with its buyout investments. Again, we included all the information we could find, but not everyone is as forthcoming as Yale, Harvard and Cornell (hint, hint, to everyone else…).

Auction Action: 2006 Auction Napa Valley
Bidding was fast and fierce at Auction Napa Valley this June, where our lot raised $90,000 for Napa Valley health, youth, and housing beneficiaries.
Designed as a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Paris Tasting, Lot #3 combined the best of old and new world wine experiences including a weekend in the Napa Valley, a trip to Paris and Bordeaux guided by Steven Spurrier, the organizer of the 1976 Paris Tasting, a library collection of large format S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon, and one of the few remaining bottles of the legendary 1973 winning wine.
When the gavel dropped, Mr. & Mrs. Paul H. Wick of Palo Alto were delighted to discover that they had placed the winning bid. "We never expected to win the lot, given its uniqueness, but we decided to 'go for it'," remarked first time attendee Paul Wick after placing the winning bid.
Paul is Managing Director of J.&W. Seligman &Co. Karin is currently a technology recruiting executive with aspirations in winemaking. She recently enrolled in viticulture and enology coursework through UC Davis Extension. Perhaps a future winemaker is in our midst.
We'd like to extend our gratitude to the Wicks for supporting the efforts of Auction Napa Valley by purchasing our lot, and we'll be sure to incorporate some trip highlights into an upcoming newsletter.

Off topic but yesterday bags of Seattles Best were 4.60 each at Target. And the expiration date is a year ahead. I used coupons for 3.00 off two.
Has anyone tried this? I'm a little leary about pre-paying and getting to the store and it not coming off of my card…….
I did the free Coke offer at Lowe's Food and had NO problem. Loaded to card and redeemed the same day. Haven't tried paying for anything yet. HTH.

Summer of 2012 Backpacking in Review A taste..Most of the following photos and reports are from either the Holy Cross or Eagles Nest Wilderness areas which happen to surround my home of the Eagle (Vail) Valley.We spent hours fishing the creek in what I can only decribe as harmony. This is one of the times in which I love life the most. This photo looks to the south end of the Cross Creek Valley and its headwaters. I'll be standing on top of this point two more times later this summer. Our trail continues on here the next morning and crosses the snowfields to Missouri Pass.Thee Holy Cross Mountain and the only 14er in Eagle County. I love it here. I filled my afternoon with lots of off-trail exploring and scrambling... getting myself into sometimes delicate situations.Making my way around the beautiful Bowl of Tears was great despite being fed up with constant bouldering and scrambling on wet rock. Sucking it up and enjoying the good is what it's all about. I tend to just laugh at my circumstances and my surroundings in these instances.Eventually after some long stares and negotiating we managed to trade sides of the pass.One of my favorite photos of the season.
Edited by timdcy on 02/19/2013 17:00:21 MST.
Tim, Great photos! I lived in Avon for a year and miss the area dearly.
You are making me jealous! Several of your trips are on my "To do" List for the next few summers when I'm out there. I especally want to get into the eagles nest for a few nights. Your Holy cross reports make me want to go back there to do some more exploring. Looks like you are living right!!!Thanks for sharing!!Also, I saw you are using a tarptent rainbow, have you ever had a situation arise that the rainbow couldn't handle such as heavy rain or a strong wind storm?Ben
Edited by bwortman on 02/20/2013 22:35:08 MST.
Eric,Thanks! I ended up moving away from the valley several years ago, but missed it so much that I had to come back.Ben,I was actually going to PM you the link if you hadn't seen it on here as we've discussed my area over the years. There's much exploring to do in the HC Wilderness and a lot left to be discovered!I probably have around 70 nights in the Rainbow and there's only been a hand full of times where I've been slightly disappointed. I incorporate my trekking poles and only bring two ti stakes so I believe that skipping the four stakes on the sides reduces the strength. Rain is never a problem except for a little bit of dampness that comes through the mesh in downpours. Also I've noticed that when pitched on a surface that has a lot of small gritty dirt material; in heavy rain some of the that will dirt can cake the mesh with wet dirt and water. The water that actually gets inside the tent is usually minimal.While you can position the rainbow in heavy wind to improve stability, I've learned that it proves useless in heavy SWIRLING wind. It isn't built for central Iowa...See example from my CT trail journal:I had to quit writing several times as one of my tent stakes came out of the ground causing one whole side of my tent to slap me in the face as the rain began to fall as well. The wind is now very intense. Right now my tent is staying up right with the help of 6 big boulders. I'm cold and my nose won't stop running, but I'm still in high spirits.I'm confident that when I leave my tent before the sun rises that the sky will be clear and the wind calm. Fourteen hundred feet to the summit then it's down to Creede for the remainder of the day. I now zip up my bag and get ready for hopefully a quiet night.August 14th – Day 21I could have not been more wrong. The first time I checked my watch it was midnight and I still hadn't got any sleep. As I tossed and turned the wind pounded against my tent causing very loud flaps, whips and cracks. Every hour or so I'd get up and check the sky only to see an overcast blanket. I wasn't in a particularly sandy area, but when I turned on my headlamp I saw a thin layer of sand on the tent floor that obviously got there through my "no-see-um" screens.The cold wind crept through my tent as I curled up inside my bag. Around 3:30 am the wind sped up on the vestibule side of my tent. I used four volleyball sized rocks on each of the four corners of my tent to support its tautness, two rocks sat on top of the only two stakes.Around 4:00 am the wind go so intense that I started to get hit again by the inside wall of my tent. I remedied the situation by propping one of my trekking poles vertically along the vestibule side wall of my tent. It was probably around this time I decided not to summit as it was already around the same time I was hoping to start the climb. Six rocks and one trekking pole later I started sleeping decently and awoke at 7:00 am to a sky full of clouds.

Nature's Not in It: Naked Juice Forced to Remove 'All Natural' From Labels
Pepsi's popular Naked Juice line has been forced to strip the words "all natural" from its labels after a class-action lawsuit determined the claim was misleading and false.
Naked Juice Co. agreed to pay $9 million to settle the suit, which was brought by a group of consumers who alleged the juices and smoothies could not be called natural and GMO-free. Under the terms of the settlement, Naked Juice can continue to deny that they misled the public, but they are changing the labels nonetheless.
The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleged that Naked Juice couldn't call their products all natural because they contained Archer Daniels Midland's Fibersol-2 ("a soluble corn fiber that acts as a low-calorie bulking agent"), fructooligosaccharides (an alternative sweetener), and genetically modified soy.
Naked Juice laid the blame for the labeling confusion at the feet of the Feds, saying there's not enough "guidance" as to what can be called "natural."
"[U]ntil there is more detailed regulatory guidance around the word 'natural,' we've chosen not to use 'all natural' to describe our juices and smoothies," the company told BeverageDaily.com.
And to the layperson, Naked Juice could be right.
According to the FDA website:
"From a food science perspective, it is difficult to define a food product that is 'natural' because the food has probably been processed and is no longer the product of the earth. That said, FDA has not developed a definition for use of the term natural or its derivatives. However, the agency has not objected to the use of the term if the food does not contain added color, artificial flavors, or synthetic substances."

For many kids, the dream of playing professional sports drives athletic careers. Yet for most people the dream does not work out. Recently, however, a number of Harvard alumni have been blazing a trail for an alternative route to the big leagues: using statistics and skillful networking to place them in the front office of major sports organizations.
Two recent graduates, Jason Rosenfeld '12 and Daniel Adler '10 have started to implant themselves in the front offices of teams in two of the biggest sports leagues in the world: the NBA and the NFL. Rosenfeld is the Manager of Basketball Analytics for the Charlotte Bobcats, and Adler is the Assistant Director of Football Research for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Both are living their dreams, continuing a passion they developed at Harvard while a part of the Harvard Sports Analysts Collective (HSAC), a popular sports analysis club on campus. Other members of HSAC have worked for the Phoenix Suns of the NBA and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL, as well as other teams and sports-related companies and organizations.
The statistical movement in sports started with baseball. In 1977, Bill James, a janitor who spent his spare time analyzing baseball statistics, published his work and created what is now known as sabermetrics. While at first many people involved in the industry of sports were skeptical, claiming that conventional wisdom trumped the power of statistics, James' method slowly gained traction throughout the baseball world.
Michael Lewis' novel Moneyball—published in 2003—tracked the Oakland A's, a small-market team that managed to make the playoffs through the brilliance of a statistically-inclined general manager and an artfully crafted low-budget team. The book was so influential that it was turned into a movie, starring Brad Pitt, in 2011.
But baseball, based around one-on-one matchups between a batter and a pitcher is much more constrained, and therefore lends itself to more extensive quantitative analysis. Even before James' statistical revolution, stats like batting average, home runs, and runs batted in have been tracked for well over a century and been part of the sports parlance. But more free flowing sports like basketball and football don't lend themselves as easily to recording meaningful in-game stats.
"It's important to keep in mind how much more complicated basketball is than baseball," Rosenfeld said. "You could create a formula to give you a number [that represents a player's effectiveness] and that may be effective in baseball, but it might not be nearly as effective [in basketball]."
Take, for example, a touchdown in football. The running back or wide receiver-quarterback tandem gets credit for a TD, but the result is not completely dependent on their play. Offensive lines, other skill players, and play calling all have a role. Similarly in basketball, a basket is generally not scored by the sheer power of one player, but by a symphonic union of five who each influence the play on the floor.
"On any given play [in basketball], if you are trying to figure out what's good or not, you have to divide credit, and that's going to be hard. It's a lot more complicated," Rosenfeld said.
For this reason, the statistical movement has only recently entrenched itself in these sports. But recently teams across the league are beginning to realize the value added by these analytical thinkers. All the way up to the general manager position, teams are turning to guys who analyze numbers for advice.
"[In] basketball, it's really the past five-to-ten years where [statistical analysis] has been really mainstream," Rosenfeld said.
In 2007, Daryl Morey, a former computer science major out of Northwestern University and graduate of the MIT Sloan business school, became one of the first general managers who got to his position by fully embracing sports analytics. He is still the GM for the Houston Rockets and also co-runs the annual MIT Sloan Sports Conference.
While the nature of both Adler and Rosenfeld's jobs are secretive, the general area that they influence their teams in is through draft analysis along with in-game scenario decision making.
"A lot of the stuff revolves around [game] decisions like if on fourth down, whether to punt or go for a field goal," Adler said.
In 2005, political economy professor David Romer of UC Berkeley published an article entitled "Do Firms Maximize? Evidence from Professional Football," which concluded that coaches often tend towards conservative choices that—at least from an analytical perspective—do not provide the best opportunity for winning.

Who We are
Christians, followers of Jesus Christ, disciples of Jesus Christ, are vilified and persecuted all across the globe, but they are also derided, mocked, silenced and oppressed in the United States of America. The established religious church in America and across the world is powerless because of the rampant sin within. Christians have been pushed back, and are being regarded as irrelevant and old fashioned.
2 Timothy 3:12
Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
Matthew 5:10
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
1 Peter 4:14
If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
The Christian Voice is the platform, the voice for those who have been silenced.
There are many voices, many opinions, many debates today.
Believers in Christ have lost their position of authority and of power. Their voice is lost in the midst of chaotic rambling noises of the evil world powers.
Romans 8:35-37
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
We need to be heard again and we intend to shout it loud and clearly in what we believe in. We need to overcome that spirit of suppression, oppression and repression.
The Bible is our lens through which we look at and judge the world we live in.
John 15:19
If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
Jesus said that His Kingdom is not of this world.
John 18:36
Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world."
The world hates us, our governments hate us, the religious church hates us.
Jesus in John 15:18 says: "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you."
This Christian generation is one of the most powerless generations ever.
What happened to the voice of Christians when they were the salt and light of this world?
Most Christians today are discouraged, tired, pushed back, powerless, at the tail.
They are treated as renegades, mocked, derided and laughed at.
They are feared and vilified by the world.
They do not pray, do not seek the lord, too busy doing things like exotic missions and pointless entertainment in the church.
God has been pushed to the background, the church elevates their celebrity pastors.
The Church is all about numbers and success and growth.
The Church is sold out to entertainment and financial greed.
When is this circus going to end?
The Church was helpless and not ready on 9/11 and it is still helpless and not ready today.
Where is the Church today when it is most needed?
The church does not lead any longer, does not steer any longer its people.
The church has been silenced.
The church is spiritually divided, confused and biblical illiterate.
Even though we are not of this world, we believe in this world.
We believe the Christian needs a different voice in this noisy world of opinions, not an angry one, not a loudmouthed one, not a biased one, but a strong and clear one.
We aim at providing and strengthening the reader with a Biblical insight through our permanent persecution and stress the moral codes of the Bible versus the moral codes inflicted upon us by the evil world powers.
The Christian Voice is for you, the persecuted one, vilified but never defeated!
What we believe
We believe that abortion is murder from the first minute of conception.
We believe in the sanctity of marriage, a unique and unquestionable union between a man and a woman.
We believe that homosexuality and any sexual perversion is immoral, is a rebellion against the Word of God, and destructive, and no society in history has ever survived practicing these.
We are fearless and not afraid to speak out boldly.
We will not ask permission to the world powers to declare the Word of God and the moral codes within.
We will not compromise under any circumstances.
We do not pay attention to name calling by the evil powers of this world: traditional, old fashioned, conservative, wacko, dangerous, or ancient.
Jesus tells his disciples in Matthew 10:16-23 that they will be turned over to and terrorized by government officials, that they will be afflicted and beaten by religious officials. He tells them that families will reject them and have them killed.
16 Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 17 Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, 18 and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. 19 When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. 20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, 22 and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
Jesus gives the following instructions to His disciples in Matthew 10:11-15: 11 And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. 12 As you enter the house, greet it. 13 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. 15 Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.
A clear and fearless voice is needed for Christian believers.
That is The Christian Voice, the only platform of Christian ideas and values, based on the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

It is no doubt we are under God's judgment, considering the escalation of immorality in this world and among believers. We are loosing our freedoms and are being captivated and captured by saturating our brains with dull media, by stealing our time with technological gadgets.

I can't believe I made this cake!!
No, for real. I'm still stunned. As much as I love cooking and baking, and feel decently proficient at both, cake decorating is an entirely different world. It's so precise! You have to use scary pastry bags! It may take the entire month of July to complete a single cake!
It turns out that not all cake decorating is hard or ridiculously time consuming. A book called Extreme Cakeovers: Make Showstopping Desserts from Store-Bought Ingredients (Clarkson Potter, July 2013) went on-sale last month, and it has lots of cake projects that are really more about assembly—and that are flexible enough to handle the slip-ups and improvisations that only a true novice can make (woops).
What you do is you take store-bought cakes and use them as the foundation on which you build a cool cake using more store-bought stuff, like frosting, candies, cookies, and so on. You can also bake the cake and make the frosting—there are recipes for those things—but you don't have to.
I'm not the genius behind all of this. The book is the handiwork of Rick and Sasha Reichart, who own a fancy cake shop in Hawaii featuring Rick's incredible designs. I'm their editor, but I got to make this cake for a project related to their book. Actually, for an ebook. Our ebook team wanted to put some nifty step-by-step photography in the ebook you can find at Apple, so we did a photo shoot here in NYC. The photos here are a peek behind-the-scenes. Do love my job? Yes, I do.

The NAACP Tackles Resegregation- By Bossip Staff Categories: News, The Atlanta Post
Today, for the first time in three years, the NAACP will begin their three-day national education summit in Raleigh, NC to address the problems within the nation's educations system, particularly as it relates to re-segregating schools. It's a fight the civil rights organization is no stranger to since they have been advocating against segregation since the passing of Brown v. Brown. The flames were ignited within the last year as the organization brought attention to re-segregation activity in schools in the South, especially in North Carolina. This confirms a January 2009 report from the Civil Rights Project at UCLA that stated 40 percent of Latinos And 39 percent of Blacks now attend segregated schools, in which 90 to 100 percent of students are non-White.

This article from the Air Force Times spells out the details of what amounts to a witch hunt of sorts…
Air Force-wide inspections begin today
By Becky Iannotta – Staff writer
Posted : Wednesday Dec 5, 2012 9:39:25 EST
Commanders and supervisors in all corners of the Air Force will conduct a widespread sweep of all work spaces and public areas starting today, looking for pictures, calendars and other materials that objectify women.
The order covers all active, reserve and Air National Guard units and must be completed by Dec. 17.
Pictures of scantily clad women in calendars, posters or in briefing slides have no place in a professional workplace, said Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh, who ordered the service-wide health and welfare inspection.
Welsh has emphasized the need to stop sexual assaults and harassment in the workplace since coming to office in August, and he told Air Force Times he had received multiple complaints about images, jokes and comments that made women and some men uncomfortable. The complaints indicated that many women felt they had to "go along to get along" with offensive images and comments if they wanted to steer clear of trouble.
"In my view, all this stuff is connected. If we're going to get serious about things like sexual assault, we have to get serious about an environment that could lead to sexual harassment. In some ways this stuff can all be linked," Welsh said Dec. 4. "I'm not saying every case is linked, but it could be linked, and why would we want to tolerate there even being a chance of that?"
I am not in favor of harassment, but some people need to lighten up. On the other hand I was under the impression that Sexual assaults were about power not sex.
Pictures that "objectify women" is a pretty subjective description if you ask me. I suppose there's not a whole lot going on that the USAF needs to worry about, so inspect away.

Hey gang. Welcome to the mobile edition of the weekly "Walking Dead" post. Why mobile? Because I'm sitting in an airport writing on my phone, watching on my iPad. Hence, no pics and probably plenty of typos (which my editor had better had fixed). But I still wanted to post some discussion points. I'll be back next week with a full technicolor post and all the usual jazz. As for now? On with the show!
Awesome Michael Rooker opening, with the zombies pounding at the door and him deeply dehydrated and delirious. Rooooooker!!! How mad is he gonna be when he finds the group again?
Rick comes home and Lori has a mix of "Yay! My husband!" and "Ooooooh f**k." Mostly the latter. Check it:
Good to see that even though Shane was banging Rick's wife, he seems like a decent leader.
Dale lopping off the head off the deer-eating zombie was sweet, but did that piñata party remind anyone else of the scene from Shaun of the Dead when Shaun and Ed are killing the zombie with pool cues in time to music?
Norman Reedus joins the cast as Daryl, Merle's hick brother. Awesome. Shoots the still-living decapitated head of the deer-eating zombie with an arrow. Awesomer.
Shane told Lori that Rick died? Interesting.
Loving the crossbow action. Great zombi weapon for light encounters.
Damn, Shane beat the crap out of Ed, the wife-beater. Gnarly scene. Ed was jacked.
Merle's hand lying next to the bloody handcuffs: great ending.
Discuss the episode below, I'll try to check-in deep from the Amazonian rain forest where I'm hunting down the cure for Cancer with Sean Connery and that annoying chick from "The Sopranos."
Consider posting a comment.
Had to celebrate the Cowboys 2nd win of the season with a 12 pack of Natty Lite. I fell asleep 20 mins in. I am now searching for an online video. Crossbow to the eye= Zombie Kill of the week. BTW Glen driving car w/ alarm all the way to the camp. Not a good idea.
lack zombies kills but hey they will make up for it on the next episode i bet!
It was a good setup for next week.
Zombie kill of the week: Decapitation ending with an arrow through eyeball.
Week 3 Zombie Kills: 1
Series Zombie Kills: 28
Is your name Steven? No, it's P1Steven
there was two zombie kills. The first one was the deer eating zombie, the second one was in the department store, he shot an arrow into some chicks head then retrieved the arrow…
Oh right.. my bad. Thanks.
You found the cure for the 20th Century and you lost it!

Excellent! Hats off to Jacques for a great recipe.flag if inappropriate
Perfect. Made with parsley and cooking sherry because I had them on hand. Can't wait to try it with tarragon, but it's hard to imagine it could be better.flag if inappropriate
This was definitely a hit. Served with speidies. The only mod I made was to substitute red wine vinegar for the wine, since I didn't feel like opening a bottle for such a small amount. I used a spicy/peppery mustard which gave the salad a good kick, and plenty of fresh tarragon, parsley, and chives from the garden. I also tossed some blanched green beans with some of the dressing, which was a nice addition of color and texture.flag if inappropriate
This recipe was a hit. Made it for a bbq/dinner party and everyone loved it including myself, and I don't generally care for potato salad. I followed the recipe except that I doubled the scallions and cooked the onions slightly longer than called for. I did not peel the fingerling potatoes to save time; I was careful not to cook the potatoes beyond the point of just tender so they held their shape even though they were cut up into 1/2" pieces.flag if inappropriate
This was really, really nice. I served it warm with a hard boiled egg per person with simple arugula/ green leaf salad. It was hearty and satisfying and light at the same time. Tres bien!flag if inappropriate
This was delicious! Much better than the mayonaise coated church picnic potato salads my guests were expecting. It was a big hit! The recipe says to serve at room temp but it was much better and less runny when chilled overnight.flag if inappropriate
This was a nice change from traditional potato salad, but I found the wine taste to be a little overwhelming.flag if inappropriate
Simple and easy! I am a procrastinator so I was pleasantly surprised to find a potato salad that did not need to sit overnight in order to have good flavor. Was delicious at room temp the day of. I made it and forgot it until it was time to serve.flag if inappropriate
Oh la la! I hate potato salad (you know, the kind drenched in Miracle Whip and other abominations) but this sent me to carb heaven! It's simple, fresh, and perfect for a summer meal. I had to make one adjustment. For some reason, I could not locate fingerling potatoes so I used instead multi-colour mini-gems (red, white, and purple). Also, I used just half of the dressing as I found it was more than enough to flavour the salad. I always have to remind myself that a recipe doesn't have to take 10 hours and 60 ingredients to be amazing. This is a keeper!flag if inappropriate
Very simple and delicious. Made it for a BBQ and it went quickly. I used basil and chives from my garden and a dry white wine. Good to know about the white wine vinegar kflister, but I would not leave a bad review for a recipe I made a mistake in preparing...flag if inappropriate

Necrosis is death of body tissue. It occurs when there is not enough blood flowing to the tissue, whether from injury, radiation, or chemicals. Necrosis is not reversible.
When substantial areas of tissue die due to a lack of blood supply, the condition is called gangrene.

An excerpt from the Introduction: The Sea is the Land's Edge Also
Peter N. Miller
There was a depression over the Atlantic. It was travelling eastwards, towards an area of high pressure over Russia, and still showed no tendency to move northwards around it. The isotherms and isotheres were fulfilling their functions. The atmospheric temperature was in proper relation to the average annual temperature, the temperature of the coldest as well as of the hottest month, and the a-periodic monthly variation in temperature. The rising and setting of the sun and of the moon, the phases of the moon, Venus and Saturn's rings, and many other important phenomena, were in accordance with the forecasts in the astronomical yearbooks. The vapour in the air was at its highest tension, and the moisture in the air was at its lowest. In short, to use an expression that describes the facts pretty satisfactorily, even though it is somewhat old-fashioned: it was a fine August day in the year 1913. 1
The opening of Robert Musil's Man Without Qualities is as good an introduction to the problematics of thalassography as it is to a long novel about the end of the Habsburg world. Musil was trying to locate his story, not without some irony and even perhaps some satire, in space and time, but also to convey by analogy the way in which our microscopic world is affected by changes in the macrocosm. Tolstoy's War & Peace does the same. Yet by using weather, rather than war, as the lever, Musil takes something completely ordinary and defamiliarizes it through distance. Its ability to effect change is from far away and is heavily mediated. How weather systems affect other weather systems, let alone humans, is extremely complicated. There is no calculus for the interaction of the weather nor, he proposes, for the interaction of people.
Musil's beginning is apt for ours, too, because in its literal sense it describes a way in which sea affects land, and the weather at sea affects the weather on land. Metaphorically, this stands to remind us that the histories of what human beings do at sea affects the history they make on land and thus our writing of that history. Translated into historical practice, "thalassography" affects "historiography."
But in just the same way, of course, "historiography" affects "thalassography." Just as the question asked frames the answer given, the history of questions asked shapes the history of answers given. And though, as we shall see, many people have written about the sea, and seas have been studied, especially recently, with great intelligence and enthusiasm, the history of "sea studies," and the history of writing about the sea, has been, thus far, no one's concern.
Finally, still in the realm of metaphor but transposed into an even more distant key, Musil models for us the relationship between large scale narrative and the micro-reality of individual existence. Historians interested in concrete experiences invariably grapple with the additive nature of micro-histories: do they ever add up to more than the sum of their little stories? Musil, like Tolstoy before him, believes that they do, but unlike Tolstoy finds in weather a model for how this works. In effect, Musil, like all great writers, was casting about for the starkest contrast between the large and small scale, initiating his readers into one of the great mysteries of existence.
I. Oceans
Musil models connection: how things concatenate, in ever changing scale. Meterology is a powerful example of this alchemy, since it operates on a level that we still do not fully comprehend—even though our generation is much more aware than Musil's of the stakes at play, or risk, in these interactions.
Musil, of course, wrote about an Ocean (the "low" was an "Atlantic low") not a sea. Yet, historicizing the role of oceans did not, of course, begin with him. Adam Smith, famously, in the Wealth of Nations, identified ocean-crossing as the greatest event in human history since the establishment of the Roman empire (the Spanish Golden Age poet Góngora had gone further: the greatest thing since the advent of Jesus Christ himself). 2
Ocean-thinking gets sophisticated during the era of European expansion and was theorized then for its importance. But thinking about the oceans goes back to the first encounters with it. Pytheas of Massilia had written about oceans in the fourth-century BCE and had sailed the North Atlantic to Iceland, at least according to Barry Cunliffe. And Cunliffe himself has argued for the importance of the oceans surrounding Europe at least as early as the Mesolithic (7000 BCE) where they provided both enormous protein stores and, imaginatively, as lures to go beyond, plus ultra. 3 Baudelaire, more than two centuries after Bacon saw going beyond as our destiny, and more than five after Dante saw in it our glory, saw the black canker of disappointment in the mismatch between our hopes and our reality, as mirrored in the ocean. Freud's "oceanic feeling" turned Baudelaire's open wound into a feeling rather of vague helplessness. 4
As much as the fifteenth century, the twentieth was a century of oceans. The two "world wars" made the realities of the Atlantic and the Pacific central to the destinies of the world, and in the Cold War that followed the United States projected its power via battle fleets (2nd in the Atlantic, 3rd in the eastern Pacific, and 7th in the southwestern Pacific). Valuable international commodities, such as petroleum, in turn cut superhighways across the oceans.
And though the rise of the British Empire created its school of "blue-water historians", the Ocean itself was always the passive actor in this story: adversity to be conquered, or passive space to be tamed and traversed. It was only in the second half of the twentieth century that the Atlantic on which hinged the "West"—defined by the "North Atlantic Treaty" (1949) and NATO–became a subject for study in a way that oceans never had been before. Bernard Bailyn in the United States, and Pierre Chaunu in France, each saw in the early modern Atlantic the beginning of the modern histories of Europe and the Americas. Before long, and continuing with accelerated rhythm up to our own day and the late work of Bailyn and J.H. Elliott, Atlantic History has become one of the key ways in which early modern history has been articulated, with implications for scholarship, teaching, and professional advancement. The birth and flourishing of Atlantic History may well come to be viewed as one of the great historiographical creations of the twentieth century.

I'm not sure anyone believes the tales that have come from the show: Breaking Amish. Nonetheless, people are watching because they've done a spin off: Breaking Amish: L.A. I swore I wouldn't watch, but I was Bubbling away, and there it was on the TV set. Then that's whole "It's a train wreck and you can't look away" thing started.
One guy totally caught my eye (not in that way—get your mind out of the gutter).
Sam is 26, lives at home and shares a bedroom with his brother in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, among the Amish. We first see him in bed wearing bright red long johns, his pajamas. It's a major no-no for the Amish he tells us, because it's considered vain to wear red. And so he wears them to bed.
That's his big step into the world of rebellion. He says he knows that when he does get married to a typical Amish girl, she'll be shocked at his red pajamas. Then Sam says with a bit of a wry smile that he's sure she'd be excited by it, too. Seriously, it said that, too.
Sam admits he knows he should be out on his own, living with an Amish wife, having children, but he just can't give up the single life. Seriously, he said that. He gets up, works a construction job, then goes home where he slips into his naughty red pajamas. He's a virgin. He can't give all that that up. Getting married would cramp his style.
His sister is the real cast member on the show, but it's obvious Sam will be a big part of it all. Despite his naughty ways with the red jammies, Sam cannot empathize with his sister. He tells the world that he's sure that Satan has gotten "ahold" of her because she is combing her hair differently than other Amish women, and dressing differently than other Amish girls (although only an Amish fellow would know).
I promise I'm going to try to stay away from following these people, but geez, this is hard to pass up. How can I pass up the chance to catch a guy who is so happy about wearing red pajamas…a guy who appreciates the little things?

Syria's parliamentary elections are being met with cynicism on the streets of Damascus despite being billed as the first multi-party elections the country has seen in decades. Damascus – The streets of Damascus are covered with pictures of candidates running in the May 7 parliamentary elections. Alongside the images, there are political slogans that many say are out of date and no longer express a coherent agenda. The area east of Jisr al-Thawra near Martyr's Square — or ...Keep Reading »

Fluoride Free Toothpaste with Clove and Baking Soda
This is a Sodium Lauryl Sulphate Free Toothpaste with Organic Clove and Tea Tree
- 100% pure and natural toothpaste
6 Reasons Why You Should Use this Clove Toothpaste1) This is a sodium lauryl sulphate free toothpaste that effectively works without the use of chemicals. Sodium lauryl sulfate is a synthetic foaming agent that is commonly added to toothpastes that have shown to cause long term side effects;
2) This clove toothpaste is made with pure herbs that are known to contain antibacterial properties that helps fight bacteria and bad odor while aiding in preventing cavities;
3) The natural mineral calcium carbonate gently polishes teeth while the the natural baking soda helps whiten your teeth;
4) It is a fluoride free toothpaste as this is a chemical known to be a by-product from manufacturing plants and considered potentially dangerous due to its side effects;
5) The consistency is between a tooth gel and a toothpaste;
6) Made in the USA with organic ingredients.
How to Use this All Natural Fluoride Free ToothpasteTooth gels supplied in an eco-friendly violet glass bottle with a special dispenser. Remove cap, pump 3 to 6 times to dispense the desired amount of tooth gel and brush with an all natural bristle toothbrush. Keep cap closed at all times to prevent clogging.
Note: Your taste buds may take a while to adjust to a natural toothpaste. Also, most tap water has added fluoride, if you prefer to avoid this, use filtered water when brushing your teeth!
A good quality toothbrush is very important when practicing natural oral hygiene. Remember, removing plaque is partly using a cleaning agent (toothpaste) along with physical brushing (toothbrush). It is important to change your toothbrush often to get the best cleaning experience. Use together with the Herbal Choice Mari breath spray or mouth wash.
In addition to this organic clove toothpaste try our other organic fluoride free toothpaste selections.
You may want to try our Herbal Choice Mari Organic Mouthwash that is also chemical free and our organic Breath Freshener Spray and other oral care products.

Active Questions
|Sex & Intimacy / 6:22 PM - Saturday June 18, 2011
ladies, is a dildo more satisfying than a normal penis?
I mean how can a normal man compete with "a pulsating, vibrating, rotating, inflatable, double-headed dildo." You have to be superman to compete with that.
- Asked by Male, 29-35
No competition if you are willing to 'offer' up your tongue! ...Sexual Chocolate!
- Response by kismet331, A Thinker, Female, 36-45
You have to be concerned about your partner, not just yourself.
- Response by seajaih, Female, Who Cares?, Who Cares?
Community Rating: Community Star
not even close. a vibrator may be able to vibrate, rotate, etc, but it can't kiss me, wrap arms around me, lay on top of me, scrub my back in the shower, or push me up against a wall. a vibrator isn't going to react if I hand it my panties at dinner, doesn't taste very good, and can't talk dirty.
- Response by 23rosess, A Hippie Chick, Female, 29-35, Medical / Dental
A cock is more satisfying, no comparison. It's the difference between intercourse and masturbation.
- Response by gvmeurhwc, An Alternative Girl, Female, 29-35
Dildos can't stroke her nipples while whispering how hot she is into her ear and then biting her on the neck.
- Response by llafsroh, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 46-55, Boston, Science / Engineering
ya see......a dildo has no "LIFE"....its made one way....and thats all it can do....every time.......NO CHANGES.....NO VARIATIONS....IT CANNOT LEARN NEW THINGS.....IT CANNOT CHANGE A DAM THING ABT ITS PERFORMANCE.
- Response by nuttyprofessor, A Guy Critical, Male, 66 or older, Transportation
A dildo doesn't have arms to hug you with, or a mouth to kiss you with...there is no comparison. None
- Response by mamom04, A Sweet Sarah, Female, 56-65, Phoenix
There's more to sex than just a dildo or BOB that's for sure, it's just an accompaniment to the real thing or if the real thing isn't available. It could never take the place of foreplay, caressing, kissing, bodies together, totally not the same.
- Response by hulagirl55, A Sportif, Female, Who Cares?, Who Cares?
What's the name of that thing? My husband is no longer interested in sex!
- Response by A Hippie Chick, Female, 46-55, Philadelphia, Artist / Musician / Writer
I cannot speak for every woman; only myself.
- Response by randyl, A Thinker, Female, Who Cares?, Technical
Its not a competition and the great thing a about plastic is the Ever-ready bunny. I think the happiest women use both, and prefer it when their lover drives. Let the good times roll!!!
- Response by gibran, A Father Figure, Male, 36-45, Miami, Self-Employed
I've had to use a vibrator...for the last year while my husband has been sick.....although I enjoy my vibrators.....I'd rather have the real thing anyday....but it's still not possible...
- Response by tamstams02, A Thinker, Female, 46-55, Administrative
2 out of 5 times we make love, after I am done my wife is not yet satisfied and she uses this big black vibrator on herself.
- Response by A Mr. Married Guy, Male, 36-45, Self-Employed

Hank Pym, foiled again!
In case you're new to the news, Marvel's "Avengers" sequel officially has a title: "Avengers: The Age of Ultron." That means it's Ultron, not Thanos, taking center stage against Earth's mightiest heroes. But it doesn't mean that the movie is based on "Age of Ultron," Marvel Comics' recent event series — and it doesn't mean we'll see Hank Pym in an "Avengers" movie, either.

Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley has said that he will "likely" veto any medical marijuana legalization legislation that comes before him, due to his concern over federal scrutiny.
This announcement by his spokeswoman came yesterday as a result of the federal attention that other states with medical marijuana programs have received in recent months. Maryland has been working toward medical marijuana legalization for years, but the effort has continuously stalled in the General Assembly.
In a statement read by his spokeswoman, O'Malley explained, "We have some concerns about liability. Those concerns were raised by US attorneys across the country. Based on those concerns, it is probably likely we would veto any legislation."
Recent vetoes and stalls to medical marijuana programs have been facilitated by Governors in a number of states, including Washington, New Jersey, and Delaware.
There are two medical marijuana bills up for consideration in Maryland this year.

Live reptiles available only in Petco stores. Selection varies by store. Check your local store for availability.
Frilled Lizards are named for the flap of skin around their necks and when feeling threatened, this flap lifts up encircling their head and making them look especially intimidating. They also stand up on their hind legs to appear larger creating an overall appearance we would recognize as resembling that of a dinosaur. This however, is a rare occurrence in pet Frilled Lizards. They have great personalities and require fairly similar care to that of a Bearded Dragon. Where they differ is the frilled lizards enjoy slightly higher humidity levels and also enjoy climbing up in trees. Be sure to provide some decor for climbing, and an elevated basking spot. Try mixing sand and a mulch type substrate, creating a natural look in your terrarium while also helping to keep humidity levels up. Frilled Lizards are easily tamed, impressive looking lizards that make fantastic pets.
Available for sale in Petco stores.
Native To: Australia
Adult Size: 2-3'

- The 2014 WWE Payback Kickoff Pre-show opens up with fans piling into the Rosemont Arena outside of Chicago, Illinois. Josh Mathews welcomes us. He's joined by Booker T, Kofi Kingston and Alex Riley. They hype tonight's show and the Hornswoggle vs. El Torito pre-show match. Kofi says he wants to see a bald Hornswoggle. Booker wants to see Torito win. Mathews talks about The Shield vs. Evolution and we get a look back at the contract signing from RAW. Booker says The Shield isn't backing down for one minute. We see Hornswoggle and 3MB backstage warming up before getting hype for Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena.
- We get a video for Daniel Bryan and Stephanie McMahon. Byron Saxton is backstage with Nikki Bella. She hasn't spoke to Brie or Daniel Bryan much this week. She says her sister loves being a pro wrestler and she's not sure what Bryan is going to do tonight. Booker says the best thing for Bryan is for Brie to be fired.
Mask vs. Hair Match: El Torito vs. Hornswoggle
We go to the ring and you can definitely hear the CM Punk chants tonight. Michael Cole, JBL and Jerry Lawler are on commentary. The music hits and out comes Los Matadores with El Torito. We see a barber chair and some supplies at ringside. Torito is dressed as the #23 Chicago Bull tonight. 3MB is out next with Hornswoggle.
Torito has had his tail re-attached it looks like. Hornswoggle talks trash and nails a big right hand to start the match. Torito comes back and Hornswoggle misses some punches. Fans want tables. Torito with a shoulder block. Torito with a dropkick. They counter each others whips. Torito gets Hornswoggle on his shoulders and spins him around. They're both dizzy and bump heads before falling. Hornswoggle misses a splash and is still dizzy. Torito drops Hornswoggle with a heel kick and some 2 counts. Hornswoggle comes back and drops Torito for a 2 count. Hornswoggle argues with the referee now. Torito gores Hornswoggle from the back and sends him to the floor. Heath Slater threatens to cut off Torito's horn. Torito and Slater end up under the ring together. Slater comes out running and Torito is chasing him with the shears. This all leads to Hornswoggle knocking Torito off the apron.
