Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The first day he was accorded the chance to speak, Patrick Henry got up and demanded to know, number one, "Who authorized them to speak the language of, We, the people, instead of, We, the states?" The next thing, he asks: You guys want to go clause by clause on your Constitution. The first enumerated power is what? "Top borrow money on the credit of the United States." This should tip the hand for what comes afterward and….Continue
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – "You'll know that your vote for Congress is meaningless. Your vote for president is meaningless. Your vote for the Senate is meaningless. You may as well go into the voting booth, sit down a pint of Jack Daniels or Jim Beam or Blanton's or Maker's Mark, pour yourself a shot, sip it, pretend like you're voting, and then walk out. You'd accomplish the exact same thing, except with the shot, you'd actually procure….Continue
In The Right vs Left Game Nobody Wins Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – "I think what is partially responsible here for what seems to be this lack of momentum or lack of enthusiasm is that there was a crop of Tea Party-themed candidates that were sent to Mordor on the Potomac in 2010. As we have bemoaned over and over and over again, despite a few notable exceptions, they have largely just been assimilated. They've joined the Borg ….Continue
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – "If you are one of those that is in the employ of, as an example, one of these companies that is part of the military-industrial complex, is building bombs to destroy property in countries you can't point to on a map while we are not at war with any country, you are partaking of this.

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is just getting started, just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Where's the money going to come from? Is this new woman, Janet Yellen, is she going to get in the Federal Reserve and crank out another $80 billion a month to pay for this? We have to keep the stock market going.

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I think part of the conservative exercise ought to be contemplation. Think about this. We derided and stood steadfastly against, mocked and impugned, and called every name in the book that we could to those "liberals" who promoted the hysterical idea that I talked about yesterday on the show and talked about three years ago on the show, that we had to have this thing called Obamacare.

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Folks, if you're wondering what he's talking about, here's what happens. The borrowing authority is granted by lifting the so-called debt ceiling. Where does the money come from? Do you just print it off? That's one way that you could do it. What generally happens is the Treasury Department tells all their buddies on Wall Street: We're going to issue $110 billion in Treasury notes. Check out today's transcript for t….Continue
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – We're going to step into the King Dude's wayback machine and go back two days ago to the Gallup organization's website. If you were perusing that particular poll on who it is that is to blame for the temporary interruption in non-essential wealth transfer payments, you may have stumbled upon this oxymoron: "Dysfunctional Government Surpasses Economy as Top U.S. Problem." I couldn't stop laughing just at the headline. C….Continue
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – To say financial ruin and financial decline is in our future if we don't borrow more money is to equate our financial enterprises with debt and with government servitude. God calls us to Give The Shirts Off Our Backs to the poor.

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Back to David Stockman, there are a couple more stats from the "Sundown in America" essay that he wrote. You can find it in today's Pile of Prep.

People are dying, sometimes within hours, because there's no treatment available. And then the disease spreads to neighboring communities because no one knows how to stop it. more »

It's my second time driving and my forth burn. I'm leaving from Fargo, ND.
Last year I took the "[url=http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=fargo,+nd&daddr=Gerlach,+NV&hl=en&geocode=FQJKywId1Ro7-ilFcWeEjcvIUjHKqpEnpTCqgQ%3BFTBLbAIdzsji-CnVqe1Hm8qfgDEikB0tIY5V0A&mra=ls&sll=43.802819,-107.995605&sspn=12.177152,33.815918&ie=UTF8&ll=43.373112,-108.083496&spn=12.263734,33.815918&z=6]shortest route[/url]" and ended up wandering through Yellowstone park in the pouring rain, in the middle of the night. I made the best of it.
I'd like to use a MAP this year, but I'm still not sure the easiest way through the Rockies. Should I head straight down to I-80? Or does a variation from I-90 to I-15, and then onto I-80 seem worthy enough?
TLDR; Anyone from the upper Midwest have any travel route advice?

Picture: Ben Affleck - 65th Annual Directors Guild Of America Awards (DAG) Hollywood California USA Sunday 3rd February 2013
Ben Affleck's Argo won top honours at Saturday night's Directors Guild Awards (February 2, 2013), leaving even more egg on the face of the Academy voters that snubbed Affleck in the Best Director category.
The omission of Affleck from the category left many industry commentators dumbfounded, with Tom O'Neill of awards forecasting site Goldderby.com telling USA Today "what fools Oscar voters were to snub him in the best-director category. How can a movie possibly be the greatest film of the year if it doesn't have great direction? Go ahead, Oscar voters, explain that to your grandkids, who'll try to make sense of this derby someday."
Affleck himself is taking a more reflective stance – publicly, at least – and insists that he's happy with the recognition that Argo did receive from the Academy, despite the director's snub. "I'm thrilled and honored that the academy nominated me as a producer of the movie," Affleck said. "I know our movie, we're a little bit underdog and a little bit the little engine that could, and you take me out of it maybe helps. … It's just about that picture. I feel like it's OK, I'm really lucky, I'm in a good place." Argo marked Affleck's third outing as a director of a movie. He said that Saturday's award win doesn't make him "a real director" but added "I think it means I'm on my way."
Argo remains the favorite to take the Best Picture Oscar. If it does, of course, that omission of Affleck from the director's category will look even more daft. Especially given the ever-expanding number of awards that the movie (and Affleck) have been taking home of late. The Oscars take place on February 24, 2013.

So here I sit, surrounded no longer by the four walls of a private office but instead by entrepreneurs looking to create the next hot, disruptive thing, whether it's for-profit here in America or transforming healthcare in the developing world. So which wise guys or wise gals teleported me into the future?
At the age of 24 I began to ask my doctors if I could be sterilized. Year after year at my annual exam I would state my case -- each year unchanged from the previous year. At each visit my physician told me that I was too young, what if I changed my mind? But the reality was that I didn't change my mind.

Absolutely my most requested recipe but it was really my mother's. This was my birthday cake every year growing up---still is! The cake is a fairly common recipe, it's the frosting that makes it amazing. Incredibly rich and wonderful! It's actually best if it's made the day before you are going to eat it and it just gets better every day!

This is a very wonderful cake. I was fortunate to have some Blackshire cocoa....and indeed it was black. And the flavour and texture are awesome. I did however find that there was too much butter in the topping, it soaked the sides of the cake. I will definately be making this again only using 1/2 cup butter. Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. Made for Spring PAC 2009.

Dear Listeners,
Yikes, this morning's program, while full of good music, was a bit on the "minor key" side. Hmmm, probably could've gone a little lighter, seein' as it's Saint Nicholas Day, the middle of Advent, and Hannukah. What WAS I thinking?! Anyway, melancholy or gay, the music was superbly performed by all musicians involved....and I bet THEY were happy to hear the songs I chose for this morning!
I'm back on Monday, December 20, and man-oh-man what a show I have planned for that morning! You'll be smilin' ear-to-ear during that magnificently upbeat and cheery hour-and-a-half. Put it on your calendar!
Till then,
Diane Hunt

Before and after: altering the truthPermalink | August 7th, 2006
A photograph that was distributed by Reuters this weekend showing smoke rising from buildings in Beirut has been withdrawn after bloggers alerted the agency of obvious alterations and doctoring. The picture, which includes repeating symmetrical patterns in the smoke as well as cloned buildings, was submitted by freelance photographer Adnan Hajj.
In a statement Reuters said photo editting software had been improperly used on the image, and that this represents a serious breach of Reuters' standards, and we shall not be accepting or using pictures taken by [Hajj]. A spokewoman for Hajj maintains that he was trying to remove dust marks and that he made mistakes due to the bad lighting conditions he was working under.
Attempting to remove dust marks in bad lighting conditions … is that the best he could come up with?!

Article: Psoriasis and Pustular Dermatitis Triggered by TNF-α Inhibitors in Patients With Rheumatologic Conditions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: New onset or worsening of psoriasis has been reported in patients treated with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibitors for a variety of rheumatologic conditions. There is mounting evidence that a key innate immune pathway for triggering common human autoimmune disease, including psoriasis, involves plasmacytoid dendritic cell precursors (PDCs) and type 1 interferon (IFN) production. We present herein a case series with clinical and histopathologic evidence of psoriasis in patients with rheumatologic disease treated with TNF-alpha inhibitors. We propose that the cross regulation between TNF-alpha and IFN may have a role in the pathogenesis of this reaction. We observed new-onset psoriasis (n = 13) or severe exacerbation of psoriasis (n = 2) in 15 patients with a variety of rheumatologic conditions-rheumatoid arthritis (n = 13), psoriatic arthritis (n = 1), and seronegative arthritis (n = 1)-during treatment with etanercept (n = 6), infliximab (n = 5), and adalimumab (n = 4). Immunohistochemical staining of skin biopsy specimens for myxovirus-resistance protein A (MxA, a surrogate marker for lesional type 1 IFN activity) showed increased staining in TNF-alpha inhibitor-induced psoriasis compared with psoriasis vulgaris. New onset or severe exacerbation of psoriasis is a rare complication of TNF-alpha inhibitor therapy. The finding of increased production of IFN-alpha in TNF-alpha inhibitor-induced psoriasis is a possible pathophysiologic explanation for this reaction.

Faeran and Yue 2 by littlebabyshoesWatch

"Your back is on my butt. You move."
My OCs, Yue and Faeran (lancer). They're brothers.
=v=;;; Ahaha, took an unplanned hiatus. I'm still on hiatus, though, I guess. I don't use the internet when I'm not feeling sociable. Haha.
Anyway, I tried something new. >v< I hate linearting with a passion; I hate it I hate it I hate it. I can't stand it! x'''D I can't see my mistakes until after I'm done coloring, so I'm always re-lining and recoloring over and over again... and then I end up losing interest and post things, errors and all. =v=;;; I like this method because as soon as I finish a sketch, I just color, so I can just correct while I'm refining everything. x'D
It doesn't take any less time to complete than usual, but it certainly feels that way. Haha.
Fearan makes a great soft chair I bet.
GOSH this is so pretty as always!!! I love the thin thin ponytail uwu and the ARMORRRR and the armwraps look particularly amazing for some reason??? WOW !!! you keep blowing me away every time you post something.

The U.S. government's delay until 2015 of a broadcast airwaves auction to boost wireless services is a sign that agencies are learning from the Obamacare website's botched debut to take time to avoid mistakes.
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler is postponing plans to publish auction rules by the end of this year and conduct the sale of spectrum in 2014, he said in a blog posted Friday. Wheeler partly blamed the complexity of the auction technology and said the agency will "check and recheck the auction software and system components" before unveiling.
"It further underscores with the rollout of the health care reform website that you really have to get it right and ensure that all systems are in place to improve chances of success," said Jeffrey Silva, a telecommunications policy analyst with Medley Global Advisors LLC.
Wheeler delayed the auction after the Obama administration spent weeks repairing the federal online insurance exchange that's central to implementing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
The FCC will be presented with a new timetable for the auction early next year, Wheeler said.

Minnesota Backwood Punx
Youd think South Florida would have enough punk bands to go around that Propaganda (6 S. J St., Lake Worth) wouldnt have to import one for some time but apparently when it comes to country punkabilly, this area falls a bit short. So, Propaganda reached out to the Minneapolis-based country punk rockers Pretty Boy Thorson and the Falling Angels, whove just changed their name to the Slow Death (they also have some new tracks in store). Two local punk bands will join the Slow Death on stage that night. First up will be the decade-old, local pop-punk foursome out of West Palm, the Ridicules, whose familiar jangly high-tempo sound has managed to stick around while a thousand local punk bands have come and gone. Routine Scheme, a four-piece from Palm Beach County that formed in 2005, will round out the night with their own style of mainstream punk. Call 561-547-7273, or visit propagandalw.com.

Closing out "economics" week in Florida....
Paid for by Obama for America
Barack Obama recognizes that for tens of millions of hardworking American families the
economic winds have become a perfect storm: Seven straight months of job loss, gas above
$4.00 a gallon, falling wages and home values, and foreclosures mounting. Barack Obama
believes that America cannot afford to continue the reactive, too-little-too-late approach that the
Bush Administration has taken to our immediate economic challenges - an approach that John
McCain is committed to continue. Barack Obama understands that we must move aggressively to
provide immediate help to America's working families and turn our economy around, as well as
move to enact a long-term plan to foster shared, bottom-up growth. The roots of our current
economic problems lie in our failure to tackle long term challenges: energy policy, skyrocketing
health costs, education, oversight of financial institutions, and the abandonment of fiscal
discipline. Obama has proposed bold initiatives to address these long-run structural problems.
But beyond those steps, the economy cannot wait - the risks of insufficient action are mounting
by the day as economic uncertainty grows.
That is why today Barack Obama is calling for an Emergency Economic Plan that will relieve
the burden on families struggling with high gas and grocery bills or preparing for high heating
bills. At the same time, the Obama plan will help create jobs to jumpstart an economic recovery.
This Emergency Economic Plan is a down-payment on Obama's long-run plans to restore tax
fairness and invest in infrastructure and clean energy to foster long-run growth. It has two parts:
1. Forcing big oil companies to take a reasonable share of their record breaking windfall
profits and use it to help struggling families with direct relief worth $500 for an
individual and $1,000 for a married couple. The relief would be delivered as quickly as
possible to help families cope with the rising price of gasoline, food and other necessities.
The rebates would be fully paid for with five years of a windfall profits tax on record oil
company profits. This relief would be a down payment on Obama's long-term plan to
provide middle-class families with at least $1000 per year in permanent tax relief.
Paid for by Obama for America
2. $50 billion in immediate measures to turn our economy around and help prevent more
than 1 million Americans from losing their jobs:
• $25 billion in a State Growth Fund to prevent state and local cuts in health, education
and housing assistance or counterproductive increases in property taxes, tolls or fees.
The fund will also ensure sufficient funding for home heating and weatherization
assistance as we move into the fall and winter months.
• $25 billion in a Jobs and Growth Fund to replenish the highway trust fund; prevent
cutbacks in road and bridge maintenance and fund new, fast-tracked projects to repair
schools - all to save more than 1 million jobs in danger of being cut.
Early in 2008, Obama was a leader in calling for an economic stimulus package with rebate
checks for workers and seniors. At the time, John McCain said he was "skeptical" of stimulus1
and instead proposed a corporate tax cut that would not be fully effective until 2015. Tax experts
from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to Goldman Sachs to McCain economic adviser
Mark Zandi have argued that such a permanent corporate tax reduction would be extremely poor
stimulus.2 Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post gave Obama's plan an "A" while grading
McCain's stimulus plan a D+, explaining that McCain "proposes permanent tax cuts - cutting
corporate rates, increasing investment breaks, eliminating the alternative minimum tax -
masquerading as a stimulus plan."3 The bipartisan stimulus legislation that ultimately became
law repudiated the McCain approach and embraced the Obama approach of broad rebates for
working families.
In fact, that stimulus package would have been even more effective if McCain had not failed to
show up for a key vote to provide rebates to 20 million seniors and 250,000 disabled veterans.
That expansion was defeated by one vote, and McCain was the only Senator absent. He
explained that he was "too busy" to vote, and "focused on other stuff" even though he was in
Washington D.C. at the time.4 Only on the final vote did John McCain come around to
supporting Obama's version of fiscal stimulus. Had John McCain has his way, a stimulus plan
with tax rebates would have never passed and experts agree that our economic performance this
year would have been even weaker.
Associated Press, 1/17/08
Congressional Budget Office, "Options for Responding to Short Term Economic Weakness," 1/08 ("Corporate
tax rate reductions have only a limited effect on new investment decisions and may take time to affect business
investment because capital spending decisions are often made n advance"); Goldman Sachs Weekly,
9/21/07 ("companies don't spend money just because it's there to spend. To justify outlays for new projects, the
expected returns have to exceed the costs, and that usually requires growth in demand strong enough to put pressure
on existing resources.)"; Mark Zandi, "The Economic Impact of the Bush and Congressional Democratic Economic
Stimulus Plans," Economy.com, 02/03.
"Who's stimulus makes the grade?" 1/23/08.
Associated Press, 2/7/08
Paid for by Obama for America
Over the past few months, the stimulus checks Obama championed have helped our economy by
providing a buffer against declining consumer spending.5 However, their impact has been offset
by soaring energy and food prices, and growing joblessness. The original Obama stimulus plan
included a specific contingency plan that if the job numbers deteriorated further it would trigger
another round of fiscal stimulus.6 On June 9, Obama announced an additional $50 billion
stimulus package. Since then, two important elements of the Obama package have been passed
by Congress: extended unemployment insurance benefits and some of the foreclosure relief
Obama has called for. And at the same time, job losses have continued, infrastructure cuts have
mounted, gas prices have stayed high, financial turmoil has accelerated, the credit crunch is
growing and forecasters expect home heating oil costs to be very high this fall and winter. In
light of these developments, Barack Obama is announcing a new, 2-part emergency plan.
Barack Obama believes that, over the long term, middle class families need permanent tax relief,
which is why he has proposed a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $1,000 for working
families. However, Obama recognizes that the skyrocketing price of energy is taking a heavy toll
on families right now. To address the squeeze on families today, Obama is calling for emergency
energy rebate checks of $500 per worker and $1,000 per family. These rebates would be fast-
tracked to get out to families as soon as this fall, so they don't have to wait until next tax season
for relief. They would help families offset the cost of filling up their gas tanks and heating their
homes this winter. And the more that families make choices to be energy efficient, the further
their $1,000 rebate checks will go. The Obama energy rebates would:
• Offset the entire increase in gas prices for a working family over the next four months; or
• Pay for the entire increase in winter heating bills for a typical family in a cold-weather
As we help to reduce the burden of rising energy prices, Barack Obama believes it is important
not to abandon our commitment to long-term fiscal discipline. That is why he is proposing to
offset the cost of his emergency energy rebates over the next five years by enacting a windfall
profits tax on big oil companies. While oil companies and shareholders need incentives to run
well managed businesses that invest in efficiency and innovation, a significant share of the
record profits the big oil companies have been making have nothing to do with their management
skill. It is the result of changes in the price of oil because of factors like supplies in the Middle
East, demand in Asia, and disruptions and distortions in the oil market. Obama simply asks that
big oil companies contribute a reasonable share of the windfall profits they receive from high oil
prices over the next five years to pay for emergency assistance for families right now. This will

help families today and give our economy a shot in the arm, while helping restore fiscal
responsibility over the first term of an Obama presidency.
In contrast, John McCain's plan is centered around giveaways to big oil companies. These
• McCain's corporate tax cut would put an additional $4 billion annually in the pockets of
oil companies, including $1.2 billion for Exxon-Mobil alone.7
• McCain's gas tax holiday proposal gives oil companies another tax cut - and hopes they
pass on a small portion of savings to consumers. As President Bush's former top
economic adviser N. Gregory Mankiw explains, "the short-run supply curve is almost
inelastic, so the welfare gain from the tax cut falls almost entirely on producers rather
than consumers."8
• McCain's drilling proposal would give oil companies a new way to make profits without
having any meaningful impact on the price of oil. According to the Department of
Energy, we wouldn't see a drop of oil from new offshore drilling for seven years, and the
effect on oil prices would be "insignificant."9 Even McCain admits that we wouldn't "see
an immediate relief" from drilling.10
Obama's emergency rebate plan is designed to help struggling families today while laying the
groundwork for his long-term energy plan, which invests $150 billion per year in developing
renewable technologies, encouraging energy efficiency and catalyzing the next generation of
clean vehicles to end our dependence on foreign oil and create up to 5 million new jobs.
Barack Obama's $50 billion stimulus package is specifically designed to jump start job creation,
avoid job-killing and otherwise damaging cutbacks by state and local governments, and provide
further targeted relief for families. This stimulus plan consists of:
(1) $25 Billion in a State Growth Fund to ensure states can continue to provide health,
education and housing assistance without having to raise taxes - and to ensure sufficient
funding for home heating and weatherization assistance as we move into the fall and winter
months. In January, 2008, Barack Obama identified the need for state relief to offset budget cuts
that could cost jobs and undermine important services like fire, police and health care. In the six

months since that time, the case for providing state fiscal relief has only become more
compelling. At least 29 states are now facing budget deficits in the 2009 fiscal year.11 The
National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) recently found that U.S. states will face a
combined $53 billion in budget shortfalls in 2008 - 2009.12 States have already begun cutting
spending for essential services like police, firefighters, and elementary schools, in response and
could be forced to raise taxes if they get no assistance. State and local governments have also
started to downsize their workforces and cut back on worker benefits. Seven states have already
frozen salaries or decreased retirement fund contributions this year.
When states are forced to cut back on services and lay off workers during a time of economic
weakness, it not only undermines the safety and stability of their residents, but further
exacerbates the downward economic spiral. This is particularly true in areas hardest-hit by the
housing crisis where communities are reeling from declining property tax revenues. Obama's
emergency plan would provide $25 billion in relief to state and local governments, to ensure that
these authorities can continue to maintain essential services for their citizens and to support their
payrolls without having to increase taxes on their citizens. State and local governments account
for over 20 million payroll jobs in the United States, and Obama's stimulus would boost
domestic demand by ensuring that this sector of the labor market does not shrink unnecessarily.
This fund will also enable states to continue providing foreclosure counseling, refinancing
opportunities and other innovative services to help struggling families stay in their homes and
help forestall property value declines in hard-hit neighborhoods. Finally, the fund will ensure
that states have sufficient resources to cushion the impact of high energy prices on the cost of
home heating, so families are not left in the cold this fall and winter.
(2) $25 Billion in a Jobs and Growth Fund to replenish the highway trust fund, prevent
cutbacks in road and bridge maintenance and fund new, fast-tracked projects to repair
schools. These steps would save more than 1 million jobs while making a down payment on
Obama's growth-enhancing long-run infrastructure and energy efficiency proposals.
Another area where the contraction of state budgets is costing jobs and undermining demand is
in rebuilding our schools and modernizing our roads and bridges. On the other hand, the cost of
inputs for building roads and bridges has jumped in recent years. The producer price for highway
construction has increased 70 percent since 2004. Meanwhile, declining tax receipts have sapped
the highway trust fund and are threatening road and bridge construction projects. As a result,
states have been forced to stop work on current infrastructure projects and delay implementation
of new projects as well. Coupled with the fallout in the housing market, this trend has driven
substantial job loss in the construction industry--with 600,000 construction related jobs lost in
the past two years. If John McCain's plan to divert billion more from the Highway Trust Fund
for a gas tax holiday was passed, even more jobs would be lost.
The Obama emergency plan would make $25 billion immediately available in a Jobs and Growth
Fund to help ensure that in-progress and fast-tracked infrastructure projects are not sidelined, and
to ensure that schools can meet their energy costs and undertake key repairs starting this fall.
First, Obama will replenish the highway trust fund, which currently funds hundreds of in-

progress projects to improve our roads and bridges but which is facing a substantial funding
shortfall. Second, at a time when 76 percent of American public schools have structural
deficiencies13 and schools in at least 16 states are being forced to move to 4-day school weeks
this fall because of high energy costs and budget cuts14, no one can be satisfied with the state of
America's public school infrastructure. A federal commitment to ensuring in-progress projects
go forward and fast-tracked school repairs are undertaken serves as a triple win, generating
capital deployment and job creation to boost our economy in the near-term, enhancing U.S.
competitiveness in the longer term, and improving the environment by adopting energy efficient
school repairs.15 In total, Obama's $25 billion investment will result in 1 million jobs created or
saved, while helping to turn our economy around.
The Jobs and Growth fund is meant to avoid cuts in the short run and fund urgent, high-priority
infrastructure investments. It is a complement to Obama's long-run, fully paid-for proposal to
establish an infrastructure bank that will leverage $6 billion per year into $35 billion in new
investments, and help improve the competitiveness and energy efficiency of our economy in the
years ahead.
Economic Policy Institute, Investing in U.S. Infrastructure, 4/29/08, available at:
Available at: http://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSN2439039120080724?feed
Fast-tracked infrastructure projects that did not fall into these two categories would be considered for funding
through an immediate review to establish whether they met conditions of being in-progress and related to an
essential public need.

I can't praise this enough.
It is my go-to cleanser and I've not had a single breakout since switching over. (It's been four months, and I've got sensitive, acne-prone skin) My skin feels clean without being tight, and the soap's perfect as a body cleanser as well - I use this on mornings when I find it impossible to wake up.
It's got an amazing fresh peppermint scent, priced well, multifunctional and all-around the best find I've made in ages. :)

The only thing that prevents me from giving this 5 stars is that it's a bit rough on the delicate bits. But on the rest of me it leaves me tingling and clean. The smell is strong, but it's nice and refreshing. It's a bit watery, so it's like washing with dishsoap, I bet decanting it into a smaller bottle would help with some of the waste. Great product.

Thank god for this product! I recently broke out worse than I ever have in my life, due to stress.
Paging Dr. Bronner! I had a bottle of the Baby Mild formula in my cupboard, and had never thought of using it on my face, but I had tried everything else, so I thought, why not. I had nothing to lose, my skin was looking that bad.
I added some tea tree oil and peppermint oil to the baby mild, and wow! I washed my face three times yesterday, and once this morning and I am already seeing a MAJOR difference. I know this sounds extreme, but it's the truth! I think it probably has to do with the fact that it cleanses very thoroughly, but because it's made with oil, it also seals in moisture, so your skin doesn't react to over-drying by making more of it's own, zit-causing oil.
The only CON: It's going to be very hard for my not to buy EVERYTHING in this product line!

I had seen this product on drugstore shelves and was intrigued by the packaging, but never thought to buy it until I came across the positive reviews on MUA. Some users mentioned this eliminated their KP, so I bought the Peppermint one in hopes it would do the same. PROS: scent is invigorating & fresh; organic; lathers well; cooling (esp after workout). CONS: sometimes too cooling (particularly in the nether regions); liquidy so it's hard to control the amount dispensed; quasi-expensive; lather leaves my hair tangled. At this point, I'm not sure if I'd buy this again. I haven't seen any improvement in my upper-arm KP; but at the same time, this hasn't caused any adverse reactions. I love the fact I'm using an all natural, organic product on my body, though. And using the peppermint variety makes me feel extra fresh and clean. I'll update with anything significant, but as of now, I'm still on the fence... UPDATE (4/26/10): After using this for a few weeks, I'm no longer on the fence... I would not buy it again. Unfortunately, this makes my skin very dry, flaky, and ashy, exacerbates my tendency to get ingrowns, and my upper-arm KP hasn't gotten any better. Oh well... =(

I originally began using this fantastic product as a body wash, but after an uncharacteristically bad break-out last summer, tried it on my face. (I have combination skin, with occasional break-outs.)
I made the mistake of trying Neutrogena's Pink Grapefruit Cleanser, which made a mess of my skin. On a lark, I used a bit of the peppermint castille soap on my face, and was hooked!
A little goes a long way (I use a Clarisonic), lathers a lot, and is so cooling to my skin! It gently removes my make-up, balances my skin, purifies, and doesn't strip moisture from my face.
Have tried it in my hair a few times. Nice, cooling sensation on my scalp; wanting to try their new conditioner.
One negative aspect of the product: it leaves a lot of soap scum/build-up in my tub. Nothing that a little Comet can't fix though!

Terrific, terrific product. Definitely worth the price, and then some.
The entire family uses it, and I am going to try it on the dog, as suggested by another reviewer.
I used to shower with an antibacterial soap (because I work up quite a sweat after an hour of cardio every night), and then a moisturizing soap. The Peppermint Soap does the job of two soaps. It gets me cleaner than any soap I have even used. My skin is softer and smoother than with the use of other moisturing soaps.
I use it in the shower on my entire body (even the girl bits), right before bed, and it is incredibly relaxing.
I have terrible skin problems from head to foot (dandruff, acne, keratosis pilaris, excema), and the Peppermint Soap calms all skin issues.

This is a go to product for me. I use it for everything, cleaning around the house, bath, laundry, washing my makeup brushes (much gentler than baby soap, and the smell is divine). A bottle lasts forever because you only need a few drops, or a squirt at most to do anything.
The bottle is imprinted with all kinds of theological tidbits that are interesting, to say the least. Dr. Bronner, himself, is quite a character. He's a concentration camp survivor, and truly believed in the physical and spiritual healing powers of cleanliness, and his formula for soap, in particular. The movie, Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap Box, is an very interesting insight into the maker of this glorious product.
Highly recommend. Have purchased and repurchased, over and again. Everyone should have a bottle on hand.

My cousin recommended this product to me to help clear up my bad breakout. After using this as a face wash twice a day everyday, I didn't get any new pimples and after a few weeks my skin cleared up quite well.
This product makes my skin feel extra clean each time I use it. I love the calming peppermint scent and humorous packaging. Both of my sisters love this product this too.

I've purchased this off and on for years. It is deep cleaning and very refreshing, especially in the south texas summers. It tingles and leaves you feeling soothed and cool. I sometimes add a few drops to my evening bath water and it smells great. A little like aromatherapy. Highly recommend.

I love this stuff. I use this as a shampoo to wash out product buildup. My husband uses this as well and loves it. A bottle lasts forever! Love how this feels on my skin and the peppermint fragrance. The same feeling as one feels after brushing ones teeth...that fresh minty tingly feeling. This is the sensation felt on my scalp after using this as a shampoo. Highly recommended!

H as Mario Cuomo brokered a truce between his son Andrew, who's running for attorney general, and that office's current occupant, Eliot Spitzer, front-runner for Mario's old job as governor? Mario has been working on Spitzer for years, says one Dem insider, meeting with him for breakfasts and lunches. The animus between the younger Cuomo and Spitzer dates back to 2000, when Spitzer blamed him for wresting away a PR-friendly national gun initiative and messing up the deal. Spitzer later accused Andrewbefore his '02 run for governorof leaking stories about their private meetings to the Post. But now Spitzer's applauding Cuomo's guts in TV ads and calling his former nemesis the most qualified A.G. candidate. That's what Mario doeshe's the peacemaker, says former mayor Ed Koch. When he's warm, convivial, and charming, there's no one better. A source close to Cuomo says it wasn't really about Mario; Spitzer has no choice but to play nice. The last thing you want as governor is someone with 300 lawyers and an ax to grind digging around your backyard.

By DAVID E. SANGER with JULIA PRESTON
Published: December 18, 2002
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17— The White House is expected to declare on Thursday that Iraq has violated the United Nations resolution requiring it to disclose all its weapons of mass destruction, senior administration officials said today.
At a national security meeting scheduled for Wednesday morning, President Bush will consider whether to declare Iraq in ''material breach'' of its obligations, the officials said.
A senior State Department nonproliferation official, John S. Wolf, met this morning with Hans Blix, the head of the United Nations inspection team for chemical and biological weapons, to describe the deficiencies that American intelligence agencies say they have found in the Iraqi declaration that says Iraq does not possess weapons of mass destruction or long-range missiles.
The issues confronting Mr. Bush -- particularly the question of whether the time is right to declare a ''material breach,'' which could provide what Washington sees as a legal justification for going to war -- were discussed in detail at a meeting of his senior national security advisers in the White House situation room this afternoon, according to several officials. The president did not attend the meeting of the group, known as the principals, which usually includes the secretaries of state and defense, Vice President Dick Cheney and other officials.
In interviews tonight, those officials refused to say what options the group had decided to present to Mr. Bush. But a consensus appeared to be developing that Iraq's failure so far to explain what happened to its chemical and biological weapons programs after 1998 -- and its contention that all work on nuclear weapons stopped a decade ago -- should be characterized as evidence that Iraq is engaged in what one official called ''not so passive resistance'' to a full inspection by the United Nations.
American intelligence officials say the extensive arms documentation that Iraq issued earlier this month lacks evidence that it disposed of chemical and biological weapons that United Nations inspectors had identified prior to 1998, or that the inspectors suspected still existed when they left Iraq under duress that year.
Administration officials have not produced evidence that Iraq has nuclear weapons, but say President Saddam Hussein is thought to have acquired equipment that would aid in the development of such arms. The officials said they did not expect that the violations would be described by Mr. Bush as an immediate cause for war, but rather as a ''serious matter'' and evidence that Iraq was again engaging in hide-and-seek with inspectors.
''What you will see will be a patient White House, very concerned about another failure by Iraq to cooperate but willing to allow the weapons inspections to go ahead,'' said one administration official familiar with the debate. Another said the administration would use the omissions to step up pressure on the United Nations to demand interviews with Iraqi scientists outside of Iraq, fully expecting that Mr. Hussein would resist those interviews.
Today's meeting between Mr. Wolf and Mr. Blix, which was not announced publicly, was the first time the administration had laid out to the United Nations its assessment of the inadequacies of the Iraqi declaration. Though Mr. Wolf did not fully disclose the data backing up the United States analysis of the Iraqi document, ''we gave him the thrust with some examples,'' one administration official said of the session. The American ambassador to the United Nations, John D. Negroponte, was also present.
Senior White House officials insisted tonight that the principal advisers, who include Mr. Cheney, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, had made no specific recommendations to Mr. Bush. Asked if the group had agreed that Iraq was in ''material breach'' of its obligations, Sean McCormack, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said, ''No such decisions have been taken by the United States government at any principals' meeting, whether today or at any other time.''
The debate over how to characterize Iraqi violations is important because it may determine how many allies join the United States in any eventual conflict.
Mr. Bush, some aides expect, will take a cautious approach, denouncing Iraq but stopping short of any pre-emptive action. Most likely, some officials say, is that the president will declare that what Washington sees as Iraq's failure to account for missing chemical and biological weapons, and Baghdad's declaration that all its nuclear weapons research has stopped, are the latest in a series of steps that violate Security Council Resolution 1441.
''I don't expect the president will say that this alone is casus belli,'' a cause for war, said one administration official. ''But it builds the case.''
The immediate effect of the administration's declaration, officials say, will be to put enormous new pressure on Iraq, the Security Council and the United Nations inspectors, especially in the matter of interviewing Iraqi scientists.

A recent post in neuroskeptic blog, underline how the use of vague terminology can lead to imprecise science.
The post focuses on the term "Involved", that can easily become "caused", thus moving from describing a correlation to implying a causation.
There are several other imprecisions that can be easily found in any neuroscientific paper. For example in fMRI and EEG study it is commonly used the term "elicited" (e.g. "the condition A elicited a higher P300 response"). The verb to "elicit" suggests a causal relationship between the stimulus and the observed response (the condition A and the P300 in the example above), but the relationship between stimulus and physiological response is always correlational*.
The take home message is that the use of vague terminology can slightly lead to imprecisions and faulty conclusions.
Thanks again to Neuroskeptic for the very interesting thought.
*Rethinking to this problem (20/11/2013), I believe that my claim "the relationship between stimulus and physiological response is always correlational" is inaccurate. First of all, most of time the correlational nature of the relationship is referred to ERP responses and behaviour, and not to Stimulus and ERP responses. In some cases we can believe that there is a causal relationship between a stimulus and an ERP responses (e.g. in the case of very early ERP responses). Nonetheless, in most of the cases it is dangerous to claim that a stimulus "caused" a ERP response, since several intervening variables (motivation, task settings, expectations) may modulate the ERP components. In this latter case the stimulus fails to meet the criteria to be a cause of the following response.

Spider Photos - Orbweaver (2015)
Here's some photos of those
common Garden spiders from the Orb Weaving family. My
apologies if there are some Araneus on pages where they don't belong but
they are very hard to classify. Try this page for a species guide:
Orb weavers (Araneidae) are
often brightly coloured with
rounded abdomens, some with
peculiarly angled humps or
spines. However, there is
considerable variation in size,
colour and shape in this group.
They are easily recognized because of their beautiful, large, round
webs, on which they rest, head
downward, waiting for prey.
The webs consist of a number
of radiating threads crossed by
two spirals. The inner spiral
begins in the centre, winds
outward, and is made of smooth
threads like the radiating
threads. It covers only the
central 1/3 of the web. The outer spiral begins at the edges
and winds inward. It is made of more elastic, sticky threads, coated with a liquid substance.
One of the largest and most commonly encountered members of this group is Argiope aurantia, the yellow garden spider
and we have photos of them on their own page.
Garden Orb Weavers are NOT dangerous (but can bite as can most
spiders) and rid your garden of many unwanted insects. They only
live for one season and die off as Winter approaches, leaving their
egg sacs behind to hatch out next Spring. Please select a section below. Here's a short video (3Mb) sent in by
Aaron Knapp.

Hi mate,
Hope you've been well, what do you think of this baby (below). I'm going with a orb weaver of some sort, but I cannot find any documentation on the posterial horizontal white/cream line. Eye formation, and that typical waved dorsal pattern tip of the orb for me but no idea what species. What do you think the species might be ? (feel free to use the pics)
Thanks. Regards, Brandon.

I found this little guy hanging on my front porch a couple of months ago. I didn't see a web anywhere. He just hung there for hours and hours. I've done a lot of web searches but haven't come up with a definite answer as of yet. I would appreciate your ideas. Thank you! Feel free to use the pictures, if you would like.

I would appreciate it if you could identify the spider in the attached picture below.

Hello... Just trying to make a positive ID on this pretty girl that's posted up between my carport and porch (near the light) - She's saved me from 2 red wasps so far! I enjoyed that... Anyway, I'm an amateur herpetologist and have recently been learning a little about araneae. I am thinking that she's N. crucifera (Spotted Orbweaver)... What say 'ye?
Thanks for any help!
30 January, 2015:
Hi there!
I came across this spider near Willow, AK. We were at the little store and this little guy fell from the ceiling onto my aunts hat. She tipped it onto the ice cream cooler. All of us there had never seen one like this before. It would be nice to find out what kind it is. I am guessing it was about an inch and a half wide but that is just a guess. And what are those cone like things on it's butt?!
Let me know if you find anything out!
30 January, 2015:
Hello again,
I was at the great wall several months ago and found this guy just hanging around the tourist. He was relatively large and didn't seem bothered by all the people around him. Are you able to identify him?
Thank you for your time,
30 January, 2015:
Hello there,
Attached is a .zip file of a big bulbous Orb.
I love your site! I have taken some pics of this spider on our house up in NH. I tried to find one where the features like the eyes and things were clearest. I hope you can use these. In referencing your site, I concluded that this must be an orb? There were about 5 of these about the same size (huge!) all around my house. Fall had just started and it was getting cold fast so I thought they were trying to warm up. They were so huge but very slow as if they were either old or dying. Use these freely. Of course you have my permission.

Hi there,
I hope you can help me, I couldn't figure out how to post this on the forum, so I'm trying my luck here.
Yesterday I put up my christmas tree, it's a pine tree, and this morning I found this spider on my counter, had made himself a nice little home in my tupperware container,so I'm assuming he came in on my christmas tree, I'm fairly certain its a type or garden orb, but I would REALLY like to know for sure and possibly get a positive specific ID? I'm in South Africa, we get plenty of garden orbs around all the time, but I've never seen anything like this guy before, and I've searched the internet flat today but can't find anything. Please help.
Kind Regards,
Reply: It is an orbweaver (family Araneidae); the species is Pycnacantha tribulus, known as a "hedgehog spider".

It's That OVO
Last night in Toronto, some epic things went down. After having to cancel Sunday's concert because of Frank Ocean pulling out due to vocal injury, Drake brought a lot of heavy hitters on for Monday. One of them was none other than Kanye West, and with the two of them on stage you could see the mutual admiration and respect. Not to mention that Drizzy released his new track, "Hold On, We're Going Home," last night making it his best Monday ever.

Mandy Patinkin Shouts, Sings Yiddish in Anne Frank Play: Review
In "Compulsion," an over-the-top psychodrama at New York's Public Theater, Mandy Patinkin plays a literary critic and novelist who nursed a decades-long obsession to bring his adaptation of Anne Frank's diary to the stage.
Playwright Rinne Groff based the character on Meyer Levin, whose 1952 New York Times review of "The Diary of a Young Girl" helped make the translation a best seller.
He wrote that the voice of the brilliant girl -- who was hidden with seven others in Amsterdam during World War II and perished of typhus and malnutrition at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1944 -- represented "the voice of six million vanished Jewish souls."
A complicated, ultimately sympathetic man, Levin protested as her story became "infantilized, Americanized, homogenized and sentimentalized," as Cynthia Ozick wrote in the New Yorker. Believing he had the rights to dramatize the diary, he sued Otto Frank, Anne's father, for fraud and breach of contract.
No Kidding
As written by Groff and played by Patinkin, the Levin character, here named Sid Silver, is shrill, humorless and given to bellowing. Two actors (Hannah Cabell and Matte Osian) play all his foils, including publishing executives and his wife. That highlights his paranoia but gives the show, staged by Public Theater artistic director Oskar Eustis, a boxed-in feel.
Projections and video by Jeff Sugg are used to remarkable effect. Marionettes, including one for Anne Frank, are lifelike and mesmerizing. But a second-act scene of Anne talking with the wife -- Patinkin provides Anne's voice -- is as tasteless as it sounds. It ends with Patinkin as Levin singing in Yiddish.
"The Diary of Anne Frank," by screenwriters Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, opened to great acclaim on Broadway in 1955 (a 1997 revival featured Natalie Portman in the title role). Levin, who died in 1981, complained that the show downplayed Anne's Jewishness.
"Compulsion," in contrast, is a meticulous if anemic play of ideas. As Levin learned most painfully, seriousness of intent is no guarantee of success.

Tim Donnelly, Tea Party Republican, Introduces Arizona-Style Immigration Law
Making good on a campaign promise, Assemblyman Tim Donnelly introduced an Arizona-style immigration law in the California Legislature yesterday.
Donnelly's bill would make it a crime to shelter an illegal immigrant, require employers to use E-Verify, and make it a state crime to "be present on public or private land while in violation of federal immigration laws."
This will go exactly nowhere, but that's not the point.
The L.A. Weekly profiled Donnelly last month, sensing a star in the making on the anti-illegal immigration front. Good to see him living up to expectations so far.
On the same day he filed his first bill, Donnelly got his seating assignment on the Assembly floor. Looks like he'll be right next to Gil Cedillo, which suggests that both of them are being punished.
Cedillo said the things you have to say in that situation, telling the Sacramento Bee that Donnelly is a "lovely man" and a "man who is very sincere, a man of conviction and faith and a man committed to service to the state."
Donnelly responded in kind, saying the pro-immigrant Assemblyman is "a real gentleman." This is the same guy who once wrote that nearly every Latino politician in California is part of "the lobbying wing of Vicente Fox's government," and who once accused the "open-borders, pro-Mexico lobby" of "treason." So Cedillo is a gentleman, and a traitor.
Before he sings Donnelly's praises too much, Cedillo may want to check out some of the other things Donnelly used to write on the Internet. Such as:
The facts are incontrovertible that allowing an illegal invasion of the United States will destroy the American Southwest, and very probably wipe out the freedoms we American Christians enjoy, as Muslim Extremists blend in with the so-called 'innocent' illegal aliens, and eventually proselytize them.
Scary stuff. And then there's the bit about Mexicans "raping young girls, marrying extremely young girls, ogling women in an aggressive manner"... and so on.
But setting all that aside, yesterday was a good start on what should be an entertaining tenure.
