'Stretch' Review: A Sweet, Perverted and Exciting Adventure Film
- By Jack Giroux
- @JackGi
- October 8, 2014
Joe Carnahan has carved out an eclectic career for himself as a director. Three years ago he made his best film to date with the emotional and tense dram, The Grey. That film followed The A-Team and Smokin' Aces, movies that are best described as fun. One was an unabashedly over-the-top popcorn the movie, the other...
You Can Finally See Joe Carnahan's R-Rated Party 'Stretch' Next Month
- By Jack Giroux

- September 10, 2014
With Joe Carnahan's latest film, Stretch, Blumhouse is hoping to do for action what the production company has done for horror: make a project with low risk, high reward. Their movies cost peanuts compared to most major releases. If they make a hit, it's a major success. If they put out a bomb, nobody...
Anti-Film School Director Peter Berg Wanted Authenticity From His 'Battleship'
- By Jack Giroux
- @JackGi
- May 18, 2012
When a "loose" adaptation of Hasbro's iconic board game Battleship was announced, it didn't take a genius to figure out what type of film was in the making: big, loud, manic summer fun. The man to deliver on that promise was none other than Peter Berg, a director whose filmography ranges...
'Battleship' Review: An Asylum Movie With 200 Million Dollars Worth of Gloss
On December 7, 1941, the naval base at Pearl Harbor was attacked by 353 Japanese planes. It was a day that lives in infamy, but now director Peter Berg has reconciled the Americans and Japanese (finally!) in the dumbest, broadest, most pointlessly explosive way possible with Battleship. This obnoxious chore...
Review: Silly, Sanitized 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' Is Less Painful Than Childbirth
- By Kate Erbland

- May 17, 2012
Pregnancy and childbirth are nothing new. In fact, there are few things less new than humans reproducing. It's been done before. But Kirk Jones' What to Expect When You're Expecting accurately captures the inherent selfishness of expecting parents,and their individual "journeys" to the delivery room (and beyond). Unfortunately, even when...
New 'Battleship' Trailer Shows Off Huge Action While Iron Man Battles the Transformers

Look, Battleship will probably end up proving that it has at least a few original ideas in its head. Someone out there has to have shoved in one or two scenes that don't look exactly like other movies, but the trailers certainly aren't out to prove that. Nevertheless, it's time...
Super Bowl Ad for 'Battleship' Shows Rihanna Go Boom

- February 5, 2012
Director Peter Berg is making his bid for A-level status (box office-wise) this summer with an adaptation of the Hasbro game Battleship. That, by the way, is a complete misuse of the term 'adaptation' seeing as the game has zero story elements to adapt. Maybe if the movie featured naval...

American Criminal Justice Policy: An Evaluation Approach to Increasing Accountability and Effectivenessby Daniel P. Mears
Cambridge University Press
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the 1st edition with a publication date of 4/12/2010.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
American Criminal Justice Policy examines many of the most prominent criminal justice policies on the American landscape and finds that they fall well short of achieving the accountability and effectiveness that policymakers have advocated and that the public expects. The policies include mass incarceration, sex offender laws, supermax prisons, faith-based prisoner reentry programs, transfer of juveniles to adult court, domestic violence mandatory arrest laws, drug courts, gun laws, community policing, private prisons, and others. Optimistically, Daniel P. Mears argues that this situation can be changed through systematic incorporation of evaluation research into policy development, monitoring, and assessment. To this end, the book provides a clear and accessible discussion of five types of evaluation - needs, theory, implementation or process, outcome and impact, and cost-efficiency. It identifies how these can be used both to hold the criminal justice system accountable and to increase the effectiveness of crime control and crime prevention efforts.

1 Samuel 18:1-5New International Version (NIV)
Saul's Growing Fear of David
18 After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself. 2 From that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return home to his family. 3 And Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself. 4 Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, and even his sword, his bow and his belt.
5 Whatever mission Saul sent him on, David was so successful that Saul gave him a high rank in the army. This pleased all the troops, and Saul's officers as well.

Ellie was family. The 9-foot-long alligator had been with Jay Young since the beginning, one of the founding mothers of his 26-year-old Colorado Gators Reptile Park in the San Luis Valley. When she died after a brutal fight left her with a hole in her snout, Young wanted to memorialize his Ellie by displaying her skeleton at his farm.
Instead, a famed auctioneer spotted her carefully articulated bones at a gem and mineral show and plans to include Ellie — mounted in a midstroke swimming pose — in a highly anticipated auction of the famed "Dueling Dinosaurs" next month.
"I really debated about whether to send her or not," Young said. "She was so special to me. I wanted to keep her on display at the farm."
But Thomas Lindgren, a natural history specialist with Bonhams auctioneers, wanted Ellie to be part of a historic auction.
The petrified dinosaurs — a petite relative of the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex tangled in a fatal fight with a herbivore similar to a triceratops — were unearthed in Hell Creek, Mont., in 2006. They are the most intact dinosaurs ever found, an unrivaled paleontological prize.
The Bonhams auction in New York on Nov. 19 is expected to draw bids as high as $9 million, the highest price ever paid for dinosaur bones.
Of course, Ellie won't fetch near that. Auctioneers have estimated bids from $7,000 to $10,000 for the mounted skeleton. But she will be reviewed by leading paleontologists and collectors.
"I expect to have a number of museums looking at or participating in this sale and thought this specimen would make a nice addition to a museum exhibit," Lindgren said. "Although it is not a fossil, it doesn't seem out of place with dinosaurs."
Todd Green — who earned a master's in paleontology and zoology at Colorado State University and said he's "kind of crazy about bones" — created the skeletal articulation. Ellie wasn't his first alligator. A few years ago, he created a mount from one of Young's smaller alligators for a display at the university.
Young contacted him earlier this year about Ellie. Green boiled the flesh from her bones and carefully mounted her in a dynamic pose with steel wire connections and glue. Her tail is arced, her front legs folded back in a swimming position.
Green brought Ellie to the Denver Gem & Mineral Show in September. Interest was high. Gallery owners and collectors asked if she was for sale. She wasn't — then.
But Lindgren stopped by and immediately wanted her for the specialty section of the upcoming "Dueling Dinosaurs" auction in Manhattan.
"It's something to hear from the top paleontologists in the world," said Young, who declined Lindgren's first offer of $4,500. "I thought it would be a nice tribute to Todd's workmanship."
Green, whose work with bones supports his pursuit of a doctoral degree, also offered his artistic skeletal mount of an emu hovering over two skeleton chicks emerging from eggs.
Green hopes that paleontological and zoological experts will see his work for its educational value, perhaps for display in a museum or university.
"There aren't a lot of opportunities to study art in zoology, and this has allowed me to develop my art side in a different way," said Green, whose Fort Collins company, Osteosaur, offers a variety of mounted skeletons. "You can learn a lot from these skeletons. Every time I do a different animal, I learn something new about the anatomy."
Young, too, hopes Ellie can help further the understanding of his beloved gators. Every time he loses one of his crocodilians — often because of fights — he recycles every bit. The skin goes to leather workers. The meat feeds his alligators, crocodiles and caimans. He buries the skeletons.
His plan was to someday let visiting paleontology students hone their excavation skills by digging up the intact skeletons.
Now he's realizing that bony backyard cemetery is actually a treasure chest.
"This is the first one we have sold articulated. It probably won't be the last time, either," Young said. "It's a lot of work but, wow, there's a lot of money in this. I'm amazed no one else is doing it."

If you go on an annual family road trip, you've probably spent as much time planning in-car entertainment for the kids as you've spent planning the actual getaway. A tablet and some apps can save you tons of time and space. No more packing decks of cards, paper and pens, magnetic scrabble or flash cards. Pretty much any game you've played with the kids in the car is now available as an app, plus there are plenty of new game apps that may also help reduce the number of times you have to answer the question, "Are we there yet?"
A couple of apps to look for:
Road-Trip-Bingo. Just like bringing the regular bingo card full of road signs, vehicles and traffic signs, but instead of marking the items on the card, they just tap the picture on the screen. App bonus? Two players can participate at once.
Mad Libs: On the Road. With 20 different stories ranging from 'A Family Car Trip' to 'Your Junk is Someone Else's Treasure', this is a perfect game for everyone in the car, and a great way to initiate some conversation with the kids.
Brain Quest. The traditional educational travel card sets in digital form.
You can browse the App Store to find more great offerings for kids, and there's even a whole book dedicated to the subject: 'iPad Apps For Kids For Dummies', by Jinny Gudmundsen of USA Today's Kid-Tech column.

Relevant equations Maybe these are relevant Mirror equation in terms of focal length: [tex]\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}[/tex] Magnification of image: [tex]M=\frac{h'}{h}=-\frac{q}{p}[/tex] 3. The attempt at a solution I have already calculated the distance of the image from the mirror to be 209 cm. But how do I calculate the size of the image? Is there a special formula or do I need to use some kind of trigonometry? I had no luck using the trying the above equations... The correct answer must be 155.

This is a new site and I'll be adding a lot of content over the next week. Depression is never fun, either for the person suffering it, or for family members. So many people suffer in silence, because it's considered a 'taboo' subject. But it's actually no different from having a broken leg. It's an effect on your overall health, in other words and nothing shameful. The stress of not being able to talk about it openly can make it worse. Typical reactions might be:
What have you got to be depressed about? Just get over it!
…or like this:
I can't tell anyone. I'm too ashamed. What's wrong with me? I just feel down all the time and it never goes away.
If you suffer from depression, or your family member does, I hope that you will find information of use to you here. Welcome to the site.

What I Saw at the Decline of the Revolution
The Republican revolution has degenerated into an orgy of self-aggrandizement.
A couple of months ago, I called to shoot the breeze with a friend who books guests for conservative radio and television shows. "What are you doing tonight?" he asked. He explained that the guy he had scheduled to appear on a California radio show had canceled at the last minute and he needed a replacement. "What's the topic?" I asked. "They just need somebody," he laughed, "who's gonna bash Clinton."
Like many of his peers in the Republican revolution, my friend sincerely believes that conservative policy ideas will help the country. But the political war machine that employs him doesn't ask him to sell those ideas, much less that the ideas prove helpful. It asks only that he feed the right's appetite for enemies.
A year ago, Newt Gingrich and his band of guerrilla freshmen were riding high, having taken Congress after 40 years in the minority. But, like so many revolutionaries before them, they found governing harder than grousing. The citizenry balked at their attempts to close the government, shred pollution laws, and shift the tax burden from the idle rich to the working poor. After campaigning against the Democrats' abuse of power on behalf of special interests, the new Republican regime changed the players but escalated the game. These photos by Larry Fink, taken on the campaign trail and at the 1996 Conservative Political Action Conference, capture how the latest purported revolution has degenerated into a smug orgy of self-aggrandizement.

Why is Israel suddenly resuming immigration from Ethiopia?
In typical Israeli fashion, a government policy been overturned without a discussion of the ramifications.
Quietly, without fanfare or any sort of serious debate, the government is resuming Falashmura immigration from Ethiopia, a year after it was ended by the previous administration.
Interior Minister Eli Yishai, the man who holds the keys to the gates of Israeli citizenship, is sending officials to Ethiopia to restart the process of examining the eligibility of potential immigrants. They will be looking at Falashmura claiming to be descendants of Jews who for some reason or other converted to Christianity generations ago.
In the first stage, they will review the cases of 3,000 Falashmura who were apparently left out of the process, but ultimately Yishai wants to enable all the inhabitants of the Falashmura compound in Gondar, which has an official population of 8,700, to apply for citizenship.
Thus, in typical Israeli fashion, a whole government policy been overturned without a cabinet meeting to discuss the various ramifications, nor has there been any inter-departmental discussion to plan all the contingencies. So what if the entire immigration and absorption setup - operated jointly by the interior and absorption ministries, the embassy in Addis Ababa and the Jewish Agency - has been dismantled and nobody knows where the funding for rebuilding it is going to come from, for how long it is expected to operate again and for how many immigrants? Screw long-term planning.
The pressure groups pressed, the rabbis ruled and the minister gave the order. The word is out in Ethiopia, the disappointed multitudes who left the Gondar compound are returning, and more family members will be joining them. The Israelis are opening the gates again.
It is hardly surprising. The Operation Solomon airlift in May, 1991 was to have finished the saga of Ethiopian Jewry once and for all, but despite four government committees and countless policy decisions since, all it took was one ministerial dictate to change the situation.
The cabinet decided in 2005 to set a firm date after which the Falashmura immigration would end and to limit the total numbers of migrants who would be allowed in. So what? The influential Falashmura lobby predicted that all it was needed was change of government to re-open the process and they were right. An absurd coalition has grown up around the Falashmura cause. Liberal American Jews who want Israel to do their tikun olam (healing the world) by accepting black citizens with a vague connection to the Jewish people join religious right-wingers who see the Ethiopians as the ultimate antidote to the Palestinian demographic problem. And Shas rabbis clinging to Rabbi Ovadia Yosef's original ruling, 35 years ago, in which he recognized the Falashmura as Jews, have also banded with them.
Former interior minister Meir Sheetrit opposed them, with the backing of Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni, but no one is going to stop his successor now. Benjamin Netanyahu is certainly not going to endanger his increasingly shaky coalition by fighting Shas on this issue; many of those around him have long been fans of the Falashmura cause.
Neither is he going to open up another front with American Jewish leaders. He needs their support now more than ever as the strategic relationship with Washington plumbs new depths. Can you imagine what it would look like if Israel denied the rights of "black Jews" while the son of a Kenyan sits in the Oval Office?
Of course no one has taken the trouble to consult with the impressive group of professionals, and Jewish Agency and Foreign Ministry veterans who worked in Ethiopia for years and have a clear position on the issue. They would have told them that there is no finite number of Falashmura who can claim a tenuous link to Jewish roots. The family structure and marriage norms of Ethiopian society are of a fluidity incomprehensible in the West and every new immigrant who is allowed in opens up the opportunity for former spouses and stepchildren who will demand family reunification.
These are real human tragedies. Thousands left their villages for the Gondar compound in the forlorn hope of a new life in a Westernized society. Taking advantage of them are starry-eyed young idealistic American volunteers have made common cause with cynical operators in Ethiopia and Israel who live off the relief programs in Gondar and the conversion academies to which all the Falashmura are compulsorily sent upon arrival, some of which are situated in West Bank settlements.
Maybe there is a racist element in the opposition to their immigration and certainly there is a great deal that Israeli society still has to do improve the lives of over 150,000 citizens of Ethiopian origin who already live here and deserve to enjoy the same opportunities as other Israelis.
We also still have a long way to go in providing Arab citizens, residents of development towns and the Haredi community with the tools for achieving equality. But none of this can be done through the back door.
The decision of whether or not to open the country's gates to thousands more Ethiopian immigrants cannot be the result of a single minister's caprice. The means and the motives must be clear and it is the government's duty to untangle the religious, nationalistic, liberal and financial interests at play here. Honest and open scrutiny will prove that there is little justification for this new wave of immigration. But even if the conclusion is that it is the Jewish state's duty to bring these people to Zion, then it should not be left to a gaggle of freelance organizations and opportunists.

What Makes A Great Christmas Song?
'Christmas Jollies'
Ever since Jose Feliciano wrote and recorded "Feliz Navidad" in 1970, it has been a Christmas mainstay; nearly 40 years later, it remains one of the top 25 most-played Christmas songs around the world. What exactly makes a Christmas song successful?
Bill Adler is a Christmas music expert of sorts — for more than 25 years, the former music critic has been making "Christmas Jollies" mixtapes of obscure Christmas songs. Adler, who is founding director of publicity at Def Jam records, weighs in on the good, the bad ... and the utterly unlistenable.
Tell us about your favorite Christmas songs — from carols, to quirky pop hits, we want to hear from you.

YEAR IN GAMER 2011: Red Dead Redemption dominated, but Elder Scrolls vs. Skyrim dazzled and Mineshaft's open world was wondrous
YEAR IN GAMER In 2010, year-end awards were dominated by one game: Red Dead Redemption. Published by Rockstar Games, the title was a sweeping, epic Western in the best American tradition. Using a proprietary game engine, Rockstar stitched together a giant swath of imaginary frontier, a teeming open world that seems to leap straight from the imagination of John Ford or Sergio Leone.Read more »

But for developer Valve, Portal's sequel was never a risky gamble.Read more »

My (food) landscape has changed!
View MSJESSPDX's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from MSJESSPDX
Wednesday, June 19, 2013
Oh my gosh, you guys. I mentioned this in my previous post, but I am astonished at how much dairy I eat. After only three days of almost no animal products (the exception being I ate some fancy granola that had honey in the ingredients list--whoops!), the landscape of my food is vastly different. Not eating dairy, meat, or fish, I am by default eating more veggies and fruit. Of course, I'm also eating a lot of calorie-dense foods like nuts, avocado, and beans, so I'll be curious to see what the scale says on Sunday!
Speaking of...I'm not weighing in this week, nor am I counting calories. I'm writing down what I eat, and that's it. Since this is a wholly different way of eating, I'm literally trying to sense when and what feels right. For example: avocado toast and fruit for breakfast does nothing to fill me up until anywhere near lunchtime. When I had avocado toast for a late-morning snack today, I was plenty satisfied until late lunch, which was a leftover tempeh wrap from dinner. Dinner was polenta w/veggie marinara on top of lots of arugula. Yummy, and I *almost* didn't miss the Parmesan! Breakfast, by the way, was oatmeal w/ flaxseed, cinnamon, and walnuts, w/ a nectarine. I'm taking in a lot of calories, but I'm also not snacking excessively, and not eating any animal fats. We'll see where this goes, and how I feel after a bit more time. Even if I don't end up being vegan, I hope to carry my awareness about dairy consumption...yikes.
Also, the pooch and I continue our 3-a-day walk schedule, which is doing us both a lot of good!

One of the indicators that shows that a particular vendor industry is getting mature is when the quantity of new solutions decreasing. This situation happens when the extraordinary benefits decreased at the point where the new players get troubles to earn money.
A month ago or so I received an email IDEYA (A Business and Marketing consultancy firm) with a report calle "Social Media Monitoring Tools and Services".
The report is paid but they share some interesting in the Excerpts pdf or the report presentation.
Two interesting points:
1. The quantity of new solutions launched per year (by introduction date) is decreased in 2010 for the first time in 10 years (except for 2006). Actually in 2009, the year of the global financial and economic crisis, five new solutions where launched.
2. The quantity of Paid Social Media Analytics solutions is four times higher than the free ones. This is probably because of the R&D constant investment required makes difficult the scenario for companies that don't earn money with their solutions.
I'm glad to announce that the British Public Firm A&N Media had acquired a Minority stake in the business of Socialmetrix, company built by this amazing people and I.
The investment will directly finance the company's international expansion, as well as an innovative and aggressive plan in product development.
All the Socialmetrix Team and I wanted to thanks Vivian Baring (Chairman of AN International Media), Gabriela Ruggeri and the rest of A&N Media's team for trusting in our project and in us in particular for this investment.
For more information go to Endeavor Global site or to the Socialmetrix Blog.
Yesterday I was surprised with the news that IBM acquired Coremetrics. First, because IBM was not in my radar as one player interested in something like Web Analytics. Second because Coremetrics is a pretty solid platform with huge clients and they were working a lot during this last months in order to get some of the Web Analytics market that still pays for Web Analytics Solution. The Corporative market, mainly from publishers.
However, the deal is done, and this time I have no clue about what is gonna happen with this deal. The Financial aspects have not been announced but I assume it was a greaaaaaaaat deal. So congratulations to all the team for the deal, you always worked to build a solid platform that help us (the analysts) to make our work even more interesting. Appreciate! I just hope IBM do it better than Microsoft with Gatineau…

Very nice

Article: Development of Divisional Parallel Scan Technology in Large-Scale Laminated Object Manufacturing[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Many technological difficulties exist in the field of rapid prototyping (RP) technology when making large-scale prototypes. The manufacturing efficiency is the main problem, and the process implemention and RP equipment also present difficulties. In this paper, the concept of divisional parallel scan is presented. Laminated object manufacturing (LOM) technology is used for the basic forming process and has been improved continuously through practice. Static divisional scan technology was also better developed to dynamic divisional scan technology, which can help in achieving the object of improving work efficiency and optimising design.

Hillary Clinton is brilliant. She's politically savvy is what it is. Which is why she could seriously be president of the United States.
Sorry. I had to stop for a minute to sit down, take a quick swig.
Most recently, even after the initial nonsense accusing some conservatives of wanting to criminalize Jesus, my junior senator has gone to the right of a Republican U.S. president by talking enforcement of immigration laws and endorsing a fence along our southern borders.
In truth, her rhetoric is common-sense law-and-order, of the type that's the least we should be doing almost five years now after the Sept. 11 attacks. Sen. Clinton saw a leadership gap left by Republicans who were arguing over fake compromises and calling each other names -- so she positioned herself to fill it. As Republicans in the Senate were making a mess of immigration reform, there she was, looking like a leader. The woman knows an opportunity when she sees one.
The possibilities for her political potential hit you like a ton of bricks as soon as you sit down with Ramesh Ponnuru's (monumental) new book, "The Party of Death" (Regnery, 2006). Ponnuru, my friend and colleague, writes up an imaginary Hillary speech -- one he actually dreamt about, in which, she says, in part: "I think maybe we've gotten so busy fighting the people who want to throw women in jail that we've somehow lost sight of the fact that abortion is a terrible act of violence against the young. If the law can discourage it -- without, I want to repeat, making criminals out of women -- then we ought to consider it. We ought to have laws that involve parents in their children's decisions, for example."
She talks about letting states determine their laws and continues in this hypothetical speech: "America deserves better than abortion, and America deserves better than a fight we've been having for over a generation. And I'm willing to work with anyone, in either party, who wants to move past this fight."
Someone in the age of vivid 4D-ultrasound technology has to make that speech. Why not Hillary? As Ponnuru announces, "if Hillary Clinton ever made that speech, she would be elected president of the United States."

No matter how many grid lines or alignment lines or sketches...
Frustration, indeed! It doesn't help that my alignment lines always seem to end up asymmetrical, themselves.
It's probably the hardest thing I've found as an artist to overcome- except maybe skew from drawing opposite directions.
Oh man, this happens almost every time.
Adding construction lines helps, but the only true solution is to keep flipping the piece and checking. It's just so frustrating when it slips past.
Death the kid, eat your heart out.
oh yeah those can be very annoying to have.
A very frustrating hassle.
good one. made me laugh but I really can't relate. I never use the computer to do my art work.
Thanks! When I did traditional art, I'd use a mirror to check symmetry. This can apply for things like model-building as well.
I thought asmmetry was a good thing?
Deliberate asymmetry is important for visual interest, but this is about trying to draw something symmetrical and getting it wrong.
lol love the fourth panel face, really cool art style that
Yea, that is a real pain in the ass.
It's even worse if you're a traditional artist.
LOL! So true... so true...
LOL! The symmetry check gets us every time...

Twitter late last week adopted – and then quickly reversed – a change to the way people can block others from interacting with them on the service. The brief change set off an uproar among users who said it opened the door for abusive behavior.
Before, blocked users could not interact with the person who blocked them and could tell they had been blocked. Under the short-lived change, blocked users would not know they had been blocked. They could view and send tweets to the person who blocked them, but those tweets would have been invisible to that person.
It was the latest example of a tension that social networking companies face: They want more sharing and openness, yet need to protect users' privacy. And with a vocal user base, they are often forced to defend or roll back changes.
Twitter made the change, which it announced only on a help center page, in response to requests from users who wanted to avoid abuse and retaliation by people they blocked. But people immediately and vociferously reacted online, saying the change invited more abuse and stalking because people could view and interact with the tweets of someone who blocked them.
"Twitter is no longer a safe space," Zerlina Maxwell wrote in a change.org petition to reverse the block that garnered 2,250 supporters in the short time the change was active.
In a post announcing that Twitter was reinstating the original blocking policy, Michael Sippey, a vice president of product at Twitter, wrote, "We have decided to revert the change after receiving feedback from many users – we never want to introduce features at the cost of users feeling less safe."

Now y'all are making me feel bad, I want to go do hand stands but I'd likely fall and bust my fat ass.
Though looking at this thread makes me want to go lift something.
Nice job all of you.
I find your lack of bacon disturbing.
I still can't do upside down. When I try I instantly hear my brain screaming at me, telling me everything is bad and wrong, and that I should feel stupid for taking this incorrect position for whatever silly reason I had before I tried it. And then I fall over.

As far as training goes i spend no more then 3-4 days a week in a gym doing full body exercises i try and vary my training and get routines from bodybuilding.com lol i know.
But in a nutshell thats it!
Haha, motivational. I have a crop, whip, spurs AND assless chaps, but they all live at the barn.You have a crop also, I presume?
Once I was going thru airport security and I had picked up a riding crop at a tack shop and put it in my carryon. The TSA lady pulled it out to check if it was a weapon. The guy next to me kept eyeing me and smiling while the agents tried to decide if I could hijack the plane with it. If I ever need money I guess I can put that shit to use.
Check out my blog. Hope to share lots of great recipes and ideas!

The song had actually come and gone from the top of the Billboard charts at that point, spending a week in the number one spot in the fall of 1960."The Twist," both the song and the dance, had caught on with teenagers for a while. But by 1961, most kids had moved on to other fads. However, while teenagers had gotten over the Twist craze, it had become a trend with adults. Hence, Checker's appearance on Sullivan in October came on an episode that also included comedy team Wayne and Shuster and several scenes from the 1960 Broadway musical "Do-Ra-Mi," starring Phil Silvers, TV's Sgt. Bilko."The Twist" would be re-released and would return to the top of the charts for a 2-week run in January, 1962.

I like this primer, its kind of a gel texture and keeps the foundation set all day, the only gripe I have with it is that after putting it on it needs a minute or two to 'set' before you can apply your foundation.
It is expensive but it's a good primer.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Coarse

My first high-end primer and I have to say this is the best I have ever tried. Most of the primers I have used make skin smoother however leave the skin a bit drying so it's harder to blend foundation on top. But this LM primer gives the right amount of smootheness and mattifying effect without taking out the natural glow of my skin. My regular foundation sits well on top of it and blends nicely. I also like to use it on its own when I don't feel like wearing foundation but need to look smooth while keeping the oil at bay. However I might not repurchase because I'm not really a fan of primers. To me, maintaining a healthy skin with skin care is more essential to make it look great than the instant-but-temporary effect of primer.

OK as a primer but broke me out!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium

I received a sample of this product in the David Jones sample bag and it has lasted me ages. It definitely makes your makeup stay on better and for longer and also as I get acne and have oily and dry areas of my face it evens all of that out. I do have to blot once or twice during the day but that is just normal. Great product. Will repurchase. Will be trying the oil free version shortly too. :)
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
I received this primer as a deluxe sample in one of my monthly subscription boxes and when i saw it in there,I was so excited! I heard a lot about this primer and I was really excited to see it in action. Upon first use, the formula seemed too liquidy, and I couldn't tell the difference in my skin's texture or tone at all. The formula seems better suited for someone with oily or normal skin, my combo to dry skin just flaked out. The actual results of this are nothing to write home about, I do not notice any long-lasting results. My skin looks as if I used zero primer at all. Benefit's That Gal works better than this! Overall it's a pretty poor product. I only use this stuff when I've run out of my other HG primer.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
Eh it's a primer. It does the job but no better than any other primer I've used. It has a slightly tacky texture since it's a water based primer and not a silicone based primer, but it just seemed average.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair, Cool
Hair: Black, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I use it accidentally, because i got the small tube from duty free store when i purchase their product.
After using it, i thought it is not as good as it looks.
I feel a lil bit cakey on my skin after using my bb/foundation, and a bit oily in it.
My dry skin looks horrible after using it, no moisture at all.
After using it some times, i just throw it away.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I love this primer one of my favorite. This feel so good on my skin. I bought for $34 before taxed at Sephora. If you want oil control try their oil free one. This one is for normal to little oily skin. The Radiance one for Dry skin. Love Laura Mercier Primer.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I bought this because the Laura Mercier saleslady suggested it. I seriously don't have much primer experience but I don't think this helps my foundation stay on. It's watery and after I put it on, I don't feel like my foundation goes on any better.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
I received this as part of a beauty box subscription and all in all it is a perfectly pleasant primer. But thats about it, I dont believe it makes my foundation last ages longer but then again it doesnt make it worse. It is a thin gel consistency and smells really nice and fresh. It applies easily and definitely smooths my skin out without drying it out (I have dry and sensitive skin so this is a big win for me).
Its a fairly pricey primer and compared to other primers in that market it just doesnt match up. For that reason I wouldnt repurchase but I will definitely finish up the tube I have and I'd use it again if it turned up in another beauty box.

Anti-Japanese Army For The Salvation Of The Country[citation needed] was a volunteer army led by Li Hai-ching resisting the pacification of Manchukuo. It had about 10,000 anti-Japanese guerrilla troops described as being equipped with light artillery and numerous machine guns. They operated in the south of Kirin, now Heilongjiang province. Li established his headquarters at Fuyu and was in control of the territory around there and southward as far as Nungan.
