Stephanie and Jonathan's Wedding
"We used True North for our DJ & up lighting. We lit the head table back drop and their lights looked beautiful. They were great to deal with and we got the look & feel we were hoping for with the lighting."
Stephanie and Jonathan's Wedding
"True North DJ's were absolutely fabulous. The owner, Scott, was fantastic. From day one I knew he was the DJ service for me because he was friendly, organized, and explained everything fully. Throughout the whole wedding planning process he was helpful and quick to respond to any questions or requests I had for our wedding. Our DJ during the wedding, Matt, was also wonderful. He played a variety of music that kept the dance floor going until the lights came on. He also stayed right on schedule as per my requests and was extremely poliet and friendly. I HIGHLY recommend True North DJs to any bride planning a wedding. I must also note that I had my wedding in NS but was living in BC while planning and they were extremely helpful in making the process a stress free one. These guys are GREAT and I will definelty be recommending them to anyone who asks:) Thanks True North DJs for making our wedding a great one!"
Holly and Ryan's Wedding
"The DJ was my one and ONLY REGRET from my wedding day. A total waste of money. I would have been better off with an Ipod. My husband and I had worked so hard to create a reception with an atmosphere that matched the rest of the wedding. We even provided the DJ with a playlist, all the music we wanted played and took the extra time to meet in person and explain what we wanted. We were assured that it was understood and not be a problem. On our wedding day we were provided with a 20 year old DJ who was still "in training", was completely unfamiliar with the songs/playlist, lacked experience, and judgment. We made the best of it and after the wedding brought our concerns to the owner only to be met with weak excuses and be ignored. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone who wants professional service."

Government and Civil Society Promote Women's Empowerment in El Jadida, Morocco
Government and Civil Society Promote Women's Empowerment in El Jadida, Morocco
A two-day meeting was held on September 3-4, 2012 in El Jadida, Morocco, to discuss actions and changes that are urgently needed to empower women in the Broader Middle East and North Africa (BMENA) region. This meeting, which is part of the preparatory events leading up to the 9th Forum for the Future, was made possible through cooperation between the U.S. NGO League of Women Voters, Tunisian NGO Association des Responsables de Formation et de Gestion Humaine dans les Entreprises (ARFORGHE), and U.S. and Tunisian governments who are the co-chairs of BMENA in 2012.
Seventy eight civil society and government representatives from 20 BMENA countries attended the two-day conference. Government and civil society dialogued during breakout sessions and several plenary sessions about potential national and regional reform efforts effecting women's political participation, gender equality under the law, economic empowerment and freedom of expression. The results of these conversations will inform the declaration to be issued at the ministerial level Forum for the Future.
The U.S. delegation was led by Ambassador Melanne Verveer, United States Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Nazanin Ash and U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce Holly Vineyard. Representatives from other G8 countries included the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, France, and the Russian Federation.
The Second Preparatory Meeting of the 9th Forum for the Future will take place in Amman, Jordan, October 1-2, 2012 and will work on identifying concrete steps to improve the business and investment climate, create jobs, and encourage entrepreneurs.

Racial/Ethnic Minorities and Community Empowerment
Part V
Demographic characteristics such as race, ethnicity, culture, and socioeconomic status play a critical role in determining health outcomes for youth. In this section, these characteristics, paired with emphasis on community-level programs, are examined in regard to their impact on childhood obesity.
Racial and ethnic minority youth are at particular risk for childhood obesity and often are directly targeted by food marketing efforts through the use of racial stereotypes, celebrity endorsement, and racial/ethnically targeted language. Moreover, these at-risk groups may experience a food landscape different from their White counterparts; one with greater frequency of fast-food and convenience stores and limited access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
This section of Advances in Communication Research to Reduce Childhood Obesity addresses a number of community-level strategies for promoting healthy eating among youth of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds.

I met Hanh, the owner of Pho Cafe through her sister. I was excited to meet her because I had eaten there before and knew it was famous in the indie scene. Nowadays, there are crossover pho restaurants opening up everywhere, but ten years ago? Pho Cafe led the way. If you look at the minimalist design, to the lucky "8" that wasn't scratched off their address, to the fact that there isn't a store sign anywhere, you can tell something is special if you have an eye for it. Some people hate. Some people hate some hipsters that go here. Some people don't know good food when they have it. But to the appreciators, they know what a special spot this joint is. Hanh told me she opened an upscale French Vietnamese restaurant on Melrose and La Brea when she was twenty-one. An amazing feat for any twenty-one year old as most could imagine. After closing that restaurant she came back at the restaurant game several years later with a new angle. Good food, affordable prices, revitalizing a part of town, and great design. When she was opening the restaurant, she told the chief of police of the Rampart Division, "Do you want gangsters hanging around here, or moms with strollers?" There was no streetlights, increasing the chance of crime. In her first year, someone got shot next door to her restaurant, crawled over, and died. The city thought by her looking for a beer license, she was gonna hurt the area instead of help it! Ten years later, there is a cool salon and a nice Thai restaurant.
Freddie's been the head chef here for a while. He and the other chefs took their time to show a few dishes being prepared. Next time, I gotta try the banh xeo. The homemade limeade was sweet and tart, on a hot, eventful day. The Vietnamese iced coffee was strong, and not overly sweetened by condense milk, the way some places make it.
Le is the manager here. My brother, shot these photos, besides the crappy underexposed one I took with my iPhone. We're both really thankful that Pho Cafe opened their time to us.
The design of the place was a combined effort between Hanh, her husband, and some architect friends. People have tried to franchise/partner with her on more locations, but she hasn't found the right fit yet. It's really no wonder why she's had multiple offers if you know this spot and its history.

Steve Wilson, 21c Museum Hotel
Steve Wilson is co-owner of 21c Museum Hotel on historic West Main Street in Louisville. Mr. Wilson's partner in the boutique hotel is his wife, Laura Lee Brown.
21c Museum Hotel was selected as the best hotel in the United States and 6th Best in the world in the prestigious Condé Nast Travelers Readers Choice Awards for 2009. 21c is also the only U.S. hotel in the top 20 on the list of the worlds best hotels. Hundreds of hotels were evaluated by Condé Nast Traveler readers for the top award and more than 25,000 individuals participated in the voting. 2009 marked one of the few times an independent hotel won the Readers Choice top award.
21c Museum Hotel was launched in 2006. It is woven into the fabric of the city and the downtown arts and theater district, serving as a gathering place where guests, artists, performers, and Louisvillians congregate for great food, innovative arts programs, and historic cocktails with a modern twist.
Both Esquire magazine and Louisville magazine awarded Proof on Main the honor of Best New Restaurant. Beyond acting as the creative force behind the project, much of the art found in the 21c Museum is from Wilson's and Browns acclaimed personal collection. Following their success in the Bluegrass, Wilson and Brown joined with former members of the famed Myriad Restaurant Group and attorney Craig Greenberg to form 21c Museum Hotels to launch similar projects across the country.
Steve Wilson and his wife, Laura Lee Brown, are also well known for their community efforts, their commitment to sustainable agriculture, land preservation, the arts, healthcare and education. The couple actively pursues community restoration projects aimed at revitalizing Louisville's urban cultural and architectural landscape, and offers real alternatives to suburban sprawl. They have been featured in publications around the globe such as W magazine, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Travel and Leisure.
Combining a love for art and Kentucky, Wilson is also a board member and founder of the Kentucky Museum of Art & Craft and is active in many of the projects with the Louisville Main Street Association. His activities and experience demonstrate a wide array of values and dedication to public service. He is a member of the Kentucky Farm Bureau, the Nature Conservancy, and the Community Farm Alliance and Commodity Growers Cooperative. He is on the Advisory Committee for the Governors School for the Arts, the Governors Progress Commission, and part of the Leadership Kentucky Class of 2002. In addition, he is a past board member for both the Olmsted Parks Conservancy of Louisville and the Bluegrass Boys Ranch of Lexington. Dedicated to public service, Wilson worked in the Kentucky governor's communications office for four administrations before dedicating his time to redevelopment and preservation in Kentucky. In 2008, he was appointed to the Kentucky State Fair Board by Governor Steve Beshear.
Conservation and preservation are topics very close to this Kentucky natives heart. He and Brown were instrumental in safeguarding 1,000 acres in Kentucky from development and co-founded Oldham Ahead, a land-conservancy group. The couple's Woodland Farm is home to Kentucky Bison Company, which includes a nationally recognized herd of more than 300 American Bison. They also own a farm in Indiana that is situated directly across the Ohio River from the Kentucky farm. The couple is developing a master plan to put both farms in easement.
Wilson is extremely active as founder of Kentucky Bison Company. He directs all aspects of his buffalo operation from breeding to marketing value-added products. He has served as President, Vice President, and Chairman of the Board of the National Bison Association (NBA) and chairman of the NBAs promotions committee. He has also served as International Director with the Canadian Bison Association and is the U.S. representative of the Canadian Bison Marketing Council.
Wilson and Brown live in a contemporary art-filled 19th century farm house overlooking the Ohio River in Goshen, Ky. In addition to their countless community efforts in Kentucky, they enjoy collecting art and traveling around the world.

Regarding the groundbreaking of the new high-speed rail line in California, I am glad they have started building a new type of railway. I am hoping this will create a whole lot of jobs in our area and maybe even put this economy into place. There has not been enough jobs for people in a long time and a major railway is the opportunity for people to get jobs.
Many years back, the railroad was the invention that made America what it is to this day. The only thing that I am worried about is them overpricing the tickets.

Author: Constant, Paul
Date published: August 17, 2011
Language: English
Journal code: STRR
Minutes' plot features a kicky '80s-comedy hook (criminals strap a bomb to a slacker's chest and make him rob a bank for them), but it's dulled into a dumb, generic crime comedy featuring typecast actors doing their shtick one more time, with no feeling. Aziz Ansari plays a toned-down version of Tom Haverford from Parks and Recreation, only without the clever lines of the TV show. Danny McBride leans into his Southern-fried narcissistic doltishness for the 15th role in a row (I counted). Nick Swardson is the kinda-amusing sidekick. Besides a fairly tense robbery scene, it's a forgettable mess. You'll laugh once or twice, but the boring crap you'll have to sit through to get those laughs simply isn't worth it. (For example, there are a whole lot of gay panic jokes, because one guy giving another guy a blowjob is apparently the funniest thing anyone has ever heard, ever.) I can think of no good reason why, in this summer of strong R-rated comedies like Bridesmaids and Horrible Bosses, this kind of shit should be rewarded by moviegoers. I'll give you the same advice I wish I could've given Jesse Eisenberg when he agreed to do this movie as his Social Network follow-up: Wait for something better to come along. (PAUL CONSTANT)

(NBC News) In a matter of months, the terror group ISIS has risen from an obscure Al Qaeda offshoot to one of the greatest emerging threats against the United States and now Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says the ISIS threat is beyond anything we've seen.
The execution of American journalist James Foley has changed Washington's focus on the terror group.
"They are an imminent threat to every interest we have whether it's in Iraq or anywhere else," Hagel says.
With U.S. air support, Iraqis are gaining back ground, but America's top general insists it will take more than bombs to crush ISIS.
"This is an organization that has an apocalyptic end of days strategic vision and which will eventually have to be defeated," says Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey.
ISIS is now threatening to execute a second American journalist - Miami-based writer Steven Sotloff, and calling for attacks on other American targets.

New To Forum
Hello everyone,
I got a Koi has a birthday gift today. I have no clues about these fish. I'm an Angel fish person. I have goldfish in my garden pond in the warmer months. Do I care for the Koi in the same way? All help would be welcome. 8)
Merry Christmas
Hello, and welcome to FishForum!
Koi have similar care requirements to goldfish, but are much, much bigger fish. As they can grow to three feet in length, koi should be housed in a tank or pond of at least 1,000 gallons.
How quickly do they grow?
I have a garden pond that's a 4x6 and 3 foot deep. Is that going to be big enough for a little while. The Koi is still small.
Glad you already have the pond! Its recommended to have a pond 6 ft deep for koi, but Im sure he will be fine for a while! They are such cute fish! wish I had a spot in my yard for a pond! May want to get him a friend. When I see them restocking their Koi at petsmart, the koi look all excited about their new tank mates! Good luck to you!!
Welcome to the forum! Im new too.
Thank you. I see you just started this month too.
hi and welcome.
hope you enjoy it here. :)

Lisa Kenney is a New York City-based research assistant whose upbringing as a military brat has led to incurable wanderlust. Her favorite travel memory is watching the sun rise over Machu Picchu.
As a single 20-something armed with a few vacation days and a healthy dose of wanderlust—but without the nerve to travel alone—my friends have become my go-to globetrotters. It seems like a no-brainer: Why wouldn't I jet off with the same girls I see for weekly brunches and happy hours?
My friends and I have climbed mountains in Peru, skied in northern Vermont, gambled in Las Vegas, and driven golf carts on the beach in Panama. We've also sent hundreds of pre-trip emails, argued about activities, laid blame over crummy hostels, and stewed silently about being left out.
Traveling doesn't change people; it just makes them more of who they are. Minor annoyances in everyday life (that friend who's always late, someone with expensive taste, or a stickler for schedules) will become magnified on the road, coming to a head in major blowouts over wake-up calls or restaurant choices.
Here's a few tips for emerging from group getaways with friendships intact:
Spontaneity can be great, but anyone who's tried to get six people to agree on a daily itinerary over breakfast knows it's more trouble than it's worth—and takes up a good chunk of the morning. My friends and I are huge planners, which has been vital. Planning gets minor issues out of the way immediately—massive email chains can sort out attendees, travel dates, and a locales must-sees. Before any money has been plunked down, everyone can be completely honest about what they want to do, see and spend.
Try booking activities before arriving at your destination (show tickets in Vegas, kayak tours in Puerto Rico, etc.) so you have a basic sketch of your time before departure—leaving little room for on-the-road arguments about what to do that day. You can build the rest of your trip around those pre-set arrangements.
Communication goes hand-in-hand with planning. You're never going to get through a vacation with friends unscathed if everyone's trying to be polite. If you have any budget issues, you must, must, must lay them out early. Your friends won't judge you, and you won't end up skipping meals to afford that nice hotel you only agreed to in an attempt to avoid conflict.
It's also important to be honest about what you expect from the trip. Do you like to relax in the sun all day? Then you shouldn't travel with your thrill-seeking pal. Itching for the hostel experience? Don't book tickets with a high-maintenance friend. You'll both end up bored, resentful and annoyed at various points. Being up front about what you truly want out of your vacation will help avoid any discomfort once you've taken off.
This is the biggest key to staying partners in crime once you return to your hometown. No matter how honest you've been or how much planning you've done, there will be unavoidable compromises every day. No two (or three or four) people are going to agree on every aspect of a trip—keep your mouth shut while checking out a specialty restaurant for your vegetarian pal, agree to visit monuments for two hours instead of an entire afternoon, or be comfortable splitting up for a day. One thing that helps is to have each person list one must-see before the trip. It's a strategy that lets everyone experience one dream activity without anyone keeping score of who got to do what they wanted and who didn't. You'll be surprised at how fun it is to try jungle horseback riding without being frustrated that no one wants to check out those historical ruins with you tomorrow.
The truth is there are some friends you shouldn't travel with, no matter how much planning or communicating goes into the vacation. Even if you're lucky enough to have friends you can stand 24/7, you'll still need a healthy dose of patience and understanding to get back home in one piece. But just remember that a little bit of compromise is nothing in exchange for an unforgettable trip with the people you like the most.

May 3, 2016
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Gulf Power Co.'s rates are going up $3.86 a month for a typical residential customer in the western Florida Panhandle next month.
The Florida Public Service commission approved the new rate schedule on Monday. It's effective April 11.
The commission earlier agreed to let Gulf Power raise its base rates by $64.1 million a year. That's 63 percent of the $101.6 million sought by the Pensacola-based utility.
The $3.86 increase is for a customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours a month, which is about average.
It will raise the total bill, which includes other charges such as fuel expenses, by 3 percent to $126.53.
Gulf Power is owned by the Atlanta-based Southern Co. and serves more than 431,000 homes, businesses and other customers in eight Panhandle counties.

Maybe you're looking to save a few bucks or the current theater choices just aren't cutting it. Whatever the case may be, sometimes it's just as nice to sit at home and watch a good flick. Take a look at this week's picks for some At-Home Alternatives to the weekly cinema options.
Parker (2013) Directed by Taylor Hackford. Starring: Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez and Michael Chiklis. IMDB says: "A thief with a unique code of professional ethics is double-crossed by his crew and left for dead. Assuming a new disguise and forming an unlikely alliance with a woman on the inside, he looks to hijack the score of the crew's latest heist."
It's a new year, and with that comes the annual month of studios dumping their movies in January, hoping something manages to make money in the weak month but not counting on them to do much. This month however has at least a few movies I'm looking forward to seeing.

A dewy, fresh complexion is always in, but it can be tough to figure out how to avoid the matte look and sidestep looking greasy. You want to be illuminated and glowing rather than shiny, and luckily there are plenty of products out there that can help you achieve just that.
The first step to a dewy face is to exfoliate. Gently rubbing off dead skin cells on your face reveals a new, fresh layer underneath, and it gets rid of the dullness too. Find a gentle daily exfoliating face scrub and use it in the shower before you put on your makeup. Next, moisturize. this will hydrate your skin and keep it looking healthy. Find a light version that's oil-free.
A powder like Too Faced – Absolutely Invisible Candlelight Softly Illuminating Translucent Pressed Powder will set your makeup and give your skin a soft glow. For a little extra oomph, rub a little Sothys – Summer Veil Healthy Glow Effect onto the tops of your cheekbones and onto your brow bones. You'll get a subtle lightening effect that's perfect for radiant-looking skin.

Look dewy, not shinyWednesday, August 17th, 2011
A dewy, fresh complexion is always in, but it can be tough to figure out how to avoid the matte look and sidestep looking greasy. You want to be illuminated and glowing rather than shiny, and luckily there are plenty of products out there that can help you achieve just that.
What you need with bare toenailsWednesday, August 17th, 2011
Lately, tons of fashion runways, streets and celebrity-packed events have been teeming with ladies who are sporting bare toenails. It may sound pretty crazy not to polish your toes, especially when wearing fancy shoes, but obviously there's something going on.
Perhaps some people are realizing that pedicures just aren't in the budget anymore. Maybe girls are a little lazier in the summer and can't bring themselves to paint their toenails. Whatever it is, bare toenails seem to be a new trend, which is good news for anyone who'd like a break from polish.
To show off bare nails, it's imperative to keep them perfectly groomed. Your feet should look practically perfect before you even think about going without color. Get rid of unsightly calluses with a product like Lippmann Collection – Get Off Callus Softener, which will make it easier to rub them off with a pumice stone. Then use a moisturizer like Miss Oops – Pedicure In A Bottle, which smooths, exfoliates and hydrates while giving your tootsies a subtle scent. Slip on a pair of sandals and head out feeling like a minimalist.
The perfect cat-eyed lookWednesday, August 17th, 2011
Cat-eye eyeliner is a difficult look to pull off, especially if you tend to second guess your makeup application skills. Luckily, there's an easy way to wear the trend that's not too over-the-top and is wearable even in the office.
When you see the simple cat-eye from the front, it's barely noticeable – but from the side, there's a little tiny wing that flicks up rather than out, making it cute rather than super retro. And it won't make you look like a Cleopatra wanna-be.
To do it, cover your eyelid with a primer, then an eyeshadow. This will prevent any creasing that could detract attention from your eyeliner. Shade and blend the way you normally would. Then, with a black pencil like Jane Iredale – Eye Pencil in Basic Black, draw a line along your top lashes, flicking it up just a millimeter or so beyond the outer corner of your eye. Next, use a long-lasting formula, like BABOR – Liquid Eyeliner, to trace over the pencil and give the line more drama. Finish with mascara on your lashes, and you're ready to show off your mini cat-eye!
Turn back the time on age spotsTuesday, August 16th, 2011
Age spots, also known as sun spots, liver spots and solar lentigines, are widespread among adults over 40, but young people can also get them. If you notice you're getting age spots on your skin, don't worry because they're harmless and don't require treatment. If you're not a fan of how they look, there are products available that can lighten and fade the marks, but prevention is key. Wear sunscreen every day and avoid getting too much sun.
These marks typically occur on parts of your body that are frequently exposed to sunlight, including your shoulders, upper back, the back of your hands and the tops of your feet. They can be scattered or grouped together, making their appearance more obvious. If you notice an age spot that changes in size, color or border, see a doctor because it could be a sign of skin cancer.
A product like PCA Skin – Pigment Gel (pHaze 13) can exfoliate your skin to lighten and inhibit the hyperpigmentation that causes age spots. Just apply before sunscreen and moisturizer and allow it to penetrate. Cover up the spot with dual-action makeup like Jane Iredale – Enlighten Concealer, which works to lighten age spots as you mask them. Your age spots will be unnoticeable in no time.
Don't lose your hair – find it!Tuesday, August 16th, 2011
If you've noticed a few more hairs than usual getting stuck in your brush or clogging up the drain in the shower, you might be at the beginning stages of hair loss.
Losing your hair can be the result of genetics, medical conditions or a side-effect of medication. If you wear your hair in a certain style, like in braids or pigtails, you may even notice hair loss where your hair is pulled too tightly. Hair loss, medically known as alopecia, can be permanent or temporary depending on the cause. Sudden changes in your hair amounts should be checked out by a doctor because an underlying medical condition could be the cause.
Losing 50 to 100 hairs a day is normal for most people and it isn't usually noticeable. But if you find yourself losing more and wishing your hair was thicker, there are products that can help you. DS Laboratories Revita Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo can maintain a healthy scalp and improve hair follicle dysfunctions to give you fast results, all just by lathering up in the shower. A serum, like Leonor Greyl Complexe Energisant, can fight alopecia by regenerating your scalp and hair. Just apply it after you shampoo and style as usual. You don't have to be embarrassed by your thinning hair anymore with effective products like these on the market.
Moisturize your head with a gentle shampoo to get rid of dandruffMonday, August 15th, 2011
It's bad enough when your arm or leg is itchy, but when your scalp is dry and irritated, it can feel like there's no such thing as relief. Plus, the embarrassing flakes on your head and shoulders can be a real issue. Instead of putting your hair up in a ponytail and hoping no one will notice, try switching to a moisturizing shampoo.
Dandruff can get worse in the fall and winter when indoor heating gets turned up, drying out your skin. You may notice that your scalp isn't the only part of your body that is red and flaky. Dandruff occurs if your scalp is dry, you don't shampoo enough, you have a skin condition or if you're sensitive to a hair product that you're using. A shampoo like Leonor Greyl Bain Traitant a La Propolis will soothe itchy skin and eliminate flakes. Use it twice in the shower, first to remove impurities and then to moisturize.
Sensitive hair can benefit from Leonor Greyl Creme Aux Fleurs, which replaces shampoo to treat and calm your scalp, even after a perm or hair coloring. Leave it on for several minutes to maximize the benefits and end up with a healthy, moisturized scalp.
Stop scratching and start soothing itchy skinMonday, August 15th, 2011
Many people automatically associate itching with scratching. It seems like a natural solution to an everyday problem, but it's not always an easy fix. Some conditions get worse when you scratch them and become more red and inflamed. Instead of going at your itchy skin with your nails, consider a more soothing approach that will eliminate the uncomfortable irritation.
Itchy skin that doesn't have a clear cause is likely caused by dryness, unlike irritation from bug bites or rashes. Environmental factors are often responsible because of changing humidity levels. If you wash your skin too frequently, you could experience itching. A rich product like Phytomer HydraContinue Instant Moisture Cream can re-balance your skin's moisture levels and sooth the itching sensation.
You can't always prevent irritated skin, especially if you have unexpected exposure to something you're allergic to. If you do find yourself scratching because of poison ivy or heat rash, sprays like Peter Thomas Roth – Oxygen Mist can heal your skin while making it more comfortable. You won't have to keep wishing for longer nails to scratch with when you have more effective treatments on hand.
To keep your skin healthy and good-looking stick to top brands like Exuviance Skin Care and Babor.
Nix body odor at the source for freshness that lastsMonday, August 15th, 2011
There's nothing worse than realizing that weird smell in the air is coming from your armpits. If you're hot, exercising, nervous or under stress, sweat and body odor are your body's natural responses. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to combat the stink and end up smelling clean and fresh.
Sweat is mostly odorless, but when it comes into contact with bacteria on your skin, it can change when the bacteria metabolizes the proteins and fatty acids secreted with the sweat. The way it smells is influenced by many factors, such as your diet, mood, medical conditions and any drugs that you're taking. Deodorants work to kill the bacteria on your skin while antiperspirants use ingredients like aluminum to block the pores so they can't sweat.
A product like L`Occitane – Aromachologie Purifying Deodorant works to eliminate toxins and impurities along with odor. It keeps your skin dry and fresh while providing a subtle, uplifting scent that lasts all day. Powders, like Caswell-Massey – Lily of the Valley Talc, keep your skin soft and fresh as they absorb any moisture your body produces. With so many ways to combat sweat and odor, there's no reason why you can't be confident about your aroma.
What to do when your baby gets diaper rashFriday, August 12th, 2011
Babies have delicate skin, so diaper rash is a common form of irritation for infants whose bottoms are wrapped up all day and night in diapers.
Diaper rash can develop if your baby has continually wet diapers, diarrhea or isn't changed quickly enough. The rash can also appear when your baby starts eating solid foods or begins an antibiotic regimen. If you're breastfeeding, certain foods (like those with tomatoes) that you eat can spur the condition. Diaper rash usually improves with treatment methods you can use at home, but if you notice that it worsens or if your baby has a fever as well, medical treatment may be necessary.
If your infant has diaper rash, wash with water after each diaper change and stay away from soaps or wipes that have alcohol or fragrance. Give him some time without a diaper so the rash can begin healing. Cellex-C Mother & Child Skin Care – Diaper Rash Ointment can act as a comfortable barrier between the rash and the diaper while it soothes irritation. A powder, which you can get in a kit like MD MOMS Baby Silk – To Go Travel Set will soak up moisture. Your baby's bottom should be smooth and symptom-free in no time.
Don't let psoriasis symptoms stick aroundFriday, August 12th, 2011
If you're one of the roughly 8 million people in the U.S. who has psoriasis, the good news is that the skin condition is controllable with medication, and future research for a cure looks promising.
Psoriasis is a common skin ailment that's not contagious. It causes fast skin cell reproduction, which results in dry, red patches of thick skin from the excess build-up. The affection often affects elbows, knees and the scalp. Psoriasis is chronic and incurable, but it improves and worsens periodically. Sometimes, the condition can clear up for years. It tends to become worse in the winter months and gets better in warmer months with exposure to increased sunlight.
For mild cases, psoriasis can often be treated by topical sprays, lotions, gels and creams. A product like NeoStrata PSORENT Psoriasis Topical Solution can relieve the itching, redness and irritation caused by the malady. When you use these products regularly, they can prevent recurrence. A cream like Rilastil – Deliskin can reduce redness and soothes on contact, as well as improve the appearance of the problem on a long-term basis. Smooth it on for visibly improved skin.

Stopping the cross-site authentication attack
A new form of phishing attack deposits an HTML tag on the vulnerable service to trap users into authenticating.
Phishing messages should be a familiar sight to most readers. They appear to come from your bank or eBay and ask you to enter your credentials on a spoofed login page. A phishing attack uses trickery to spy on user credentials. Another method, known as cross-site scripting (XSS, as CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets), places active code on a vulnerable page. The unsuspecting user's web browser runs the code and sends the user's login data to the attacker.

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) -- Snowmobile rider Caleb Moore underwent heart surgery Friday morning, a day after a horrific crash in the freestyle event at the Winter X Games.
Moore was taken to a local hospital Thursday night with a concussion. While there, he developed bleeding around his heart and was flown to Grand Junction, Colo., for surgery.
The 25-year-old was performing a flip when he caught the skis of his sled on the top of a jump. He went over the handlebars and the heavy machine ended up rolling over him. He walked off the course with some help.
Later in the competition, his younger brother, Colten, crashed as well. Colten Moore was taken to the hospital with a separated pelvis. He won't need surgery.
The Moore brothers are from Krum, Texas.

Hi guys. Meatbox here.
This game has been Quiet for the past few months, and nothing has shown, Only screenshots and model screenshots and music.
This game has been more of a mess then Conscript and NZP combined, it died 3 times, and was revived 3 times.
This death is permanent, i was immature, stupid to think this would work with my reputation.
We have had Coders, Modelers, and Texture artists come and go, like a revolving door.
And to think of how ironic it was, We had a playable version, it worked fine, a line of code messed up on it, so i asked the coder to fix it. he said he would get back to me.
it has been 4 months since then.
i cant release the version, its virtually, unplayable. all it has is a test map, one box, with a gun, a spore, a explosive barrel. and none of them work.
This game has been nothing but failure.I am sorry to all who wanted this, and i give a laugh to all who will laugh about this

Another Racial Wacko in the Obama Administration
Is Mark Lloyd the new Van Jones? Jones was Barack Obama's "Green Jobs Czar" who was forced out after, among other things, it was revealed that he was a "truther." Turns out, he'd signed a petition which alleged that the Bush administration had prior knowledge of the 9/11 terror attacks.
Well, there's yet another wacko in the Obama administration. Mark Lloyd is President Obama's "Diversity Czar" at the Federal Communications Commission, a fellow who has decidedly questionable views.
This gentleman has spoken about having white media executives step down out of deference to minorities; called what's going on inside of Hugo Chavez's Venezuela "an incredible revolution."
It's not that prior presidential administrations haven't had their share of strange characters wondering around, but the hard left seems to have found particularly fertile ground inside the Obama administration.
How do you bring a guy into your administration who believes Hugo Chavez led "really an incredible revolution – a democratic revolution."?
And how insulting is it that the Obama administration has embraced a guy who's said that whites need to get out of the way of people of color, gays and others, "so someone else can have power." I suppose in Lloyd's mind, merit and hard work has nothing to do with power or position.
However, this diversity czar has other opinions which reveal his racial paranoia. He offered the astounding opinion that "There are few things, I think, more frightening in the American mind than dark-skinned black men."
Really Mr. Lloyd? After more than 40 years of working in the trenches of race relations work, it is my view that most Americans judge people by the content of their character and care far less about the color of someone's skin than Lloyd imagines. I also think most Americans detest crude displays of racial victimization – something Lloyd's comments illustrate.
Are you comfortable paying this man's salary with your tax-dollars?
One of the things the FCC should be most avid about is protecting American's freedom of speech and expression. But even here Lloyd doesn't measure up.
In his 2006 book "Prologue to a Farce" he questions Americans devotion to free speech. He wrote "at the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communication policies." Huh?
Being the "Diversity Czar" is a relatively silly position inside government. So, why should we be concerned about Lloyd?
Hidden in all of this is the raging debate at the FCC over the "Fairness Doctrine." This is an old law that formerly required broadcasters to provide opposing viewpoints on their programs.
Julius Genakowski, the FCC Chairman, has said the fairness doctrine isn't currently on the agency's agenda. But there remains reason for concern. Lloyd co-authored a 2007 study for the ultra-liberal Center for American Progress which examined what they called the "structural imbalance of talk radio." In media interviews, Lloyd has whined incessantly about how 91 percent of talk radio is controlled by conservatives. But so what?
As a former radio talk show host, I knew that my show would live or die based only on ratings. It was the marketplace of ideas that would determine my fate. Lloyd seems to have little understanding of this.
The liberal answer to conservative talk radio, Air America, was launched in 2004. By 2006 it was bankrupt. Why? Listeners quickly labeled it boring and humor-less. Now re-named Air America media, and with new owners, listeners still find the station boring and humorless and it struggles to attract listeners.
Will Obama's Diversity Czar follow Van Jones into oblivion? Only time will tell. Stay tuned.

To know life in every breath...
About myself
I'm an adventurous guy who likes some extreme sports. I LOVE sex (obviously), but am also looking for a relationship. I don't like mind games, so please say what you mean.
The person I would like to meet
Must be adventurous, love animals, outdoors, and of course must LOVE sex.
About my work
I don't post my pic because of my job, but if you ask I just might send you one.
What do you like to do for fun/hobbies?
I love paintball and skydiving. I also love backpacking and camping. Basically I love dangerous and adventurous outdoor activities.
My idea of a great date
Good conversation, and fun. Whatever that may be. It could be anything it all depends on the person your with.
If you are divorced/widower, you can talk about how that happened here.
Well let's see...I hadn't fully realized who I really was and what I really wanted out of life. Consequently I hooked up with the wrong woman. We were in love, but then I began to come to terms with who I really was and we just grew apart. We have one son who I love very much. Unfortunetly I wasn't a very good dad, and I didn't pay a lot of attention to him or show him how much I love him. I truely hate myself for that. Thanks for bringing that up MatchDoctor, now I'll feel like shit for the rest of the night. Asshole.
What is your fantasy vacation?
Backpacking around the world. Skydiving around the world. I guess it's taking the stuff I love and doing all over the place. Kind of like sex all over the house:)
What is your academic background?
Graduated from highschool. Went to a specialty/technical school.
Where did you last vacation and did you like it?
Backpacking, and I loved it.
What do you find attractive in people?
Physical features. From slender to a few pounds overweight. Green eyes, blue eyes, sometimes brown eyes. Butts, from tight to a little round (Mmm...). Legs. Breasts, from A's to large C's (i'm not picky). And also personality. I like adventurous women, who love an adrenaline rush. Women who speek there mind. Women who LOVE SEX and cuddling. Women who need time for themselves, and who understand I need time for myself sometimes. Women who can make their own friends as well as get along with mine.
What do others do that irritate you?
Drive slow. Don't get to the point. Don't have a point. Talk around a subject instead of just saying what they mean. Panic. Make drama out of everything. Refuse to laugh. Take things too seriously all of the time. Don't let family die when its time.
What do you think is your best quality?
I'm a pretty all around nice guy, at least that what everybody says. Sometimes I can come accross as a real asshole though, because I'm opinionated. Everyone has an opinion and I respect yours.
What one thing would you change about your personality if you could?
Either how mad I get when I actually do get mad, or my naivete. Or my lack of personal motivation.
What one question would you want answered in an initial email from another member?
Do you mind that I'm seperated and don't want any kids?
Describe your physique.
5' 8" tall. 185 pounds. Short dark hair. Average build with a little bit of spare tire around the middle of which I am NOT proud of, and that goes away when I exercise.
What do you do well sexually?
I have been told that I am great with my hands, and I excell at oral sex. Gotta be good at what you love, eh?
What is the favorite thing you like sexually done to you?
Ask me.
What fantasy(s) are you still waiting to experience?
Do you have any STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)?
Nope, and lets keep it that way shall we?
Are you looking for a one night stand, to play for a while, or a long-term Adult relationship?
I guess I'm looking for one night stands and relationships. Mostly I'm looking for a relationship with a woman who can be a total whore (with me) and who wants me to be a total slut (with her).

text: Like an ornate Victorian house, Bentley's debut mystery is built on a solid foundation but winds up laden with gewgaws and light on practical basics. New York textile designer Avery Marie Baker inherits a run-down New England manse from a reclusive aunt who died under mysterious circumstances. Avery "is little and cunning and pouts a lot," and she's about as bright as her boy friend's crowbar. She instantly suspects dislikable people of having a hand in her aunt's death, while completely missing blatant clues pointing to the killer. Avery soon winds up in predictable anticlimactic peril, waiting for buff handyman Derek Ellis to rescue her. The characters and the town are charming, but without any real suspense--except whether Avery can convince Derek to let her mosaic tile the kitchen counter--there's no substance to the mystery.

Andres, First NIA Clinical Director, Dies at 89
Dr. Reubin Andres, an early leader in the field of aging research and the first clinical director of NIA, died on Sept. 23 in his sleep at his Baltimore home. He was 89.
"I am saddened to hear the news of Dr. Reubin Andres's passing. His legacy will most certainly be his dedication and vision in research on aging. Reubin was a true pioneer, a valued mentor and colleague and a marvelous human being," said NIA director Dr. Richard Hodes.
Andres joined the Gerontology Research Center (the precursor to NIA) in 1962, where he was assistant chief and head of the GRC's metabolism section. He was later named the first clinical director of NIA, serving in this position from 1977 until 1998. He also was a professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Andres was named an NIH scientist emeritus at the time of his retirement in 2003. He was cited for his productive research career that included the invention of the glucose insulin clamp technique, a method that remains the gold standard in the study of glucose and insulin homeostasis in man; his original and fundamental observations on the hormonal abnormalities in diabetes mellitus; and his recognition that mortality follows a U-shaped curve as a function of body mass index with the minimal mortality/maximal longevity associated with higher body mass index than prior work suggested.
Among his many achievements, Andres played a critical role in the development of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging, now in its 54th year, and developed a nomogram, a graphical calculating device, to make clinical judgments in suspected cases of diabetes, based on glucose tolerance test results and age.
"Dr. Andres was a luminary in aging research," said NIA deputy director Dr. Marie Bernard. "He is known for his work with Dr. Nathan Shock and others investigating longitudinal changes with aging. His research related to nutritional changes with aging guided generations of subsequent investigators."
Andres received many awards for his work in aging. He was the recipient of the 1974 Gerontological Society Kleemeier Award for his outstanding contributions to aging research; the Albert Renold Award from the American Diabetes Association; the 1993 Rank Prize for Nutrition at the Royal Society in London for his invention of the glucose insulin clamp; the Lifetime Achievement Award in Geriatric Endocrinology from Serono Symposia; the Clinical Research Award from the American Aging Association and the American College of Clinical Gerontology and the Enrico Greppi Gerontology Prize from the Societa Italiana di Gerontologia e Geriatria.
Andres was a member of numerous professional and medical societies including the American Diabetes Association, American Federation for Aging Research, American Federation for Clinical Research and the Gerontological Society of America. He has also served on several task forces and research committees and was on the editorial board of the Journal of Gerontology.
Andres received his medical degree from Southwestern Medical College in Dallas and interned at Gallinger Municipal Hospital in Washington, D.C.
"With the passing of Dr. Andres, we have lost a great man and an extraordinarily talented and generous scientist. I am sure that his name will continue to inspire generations of researchers on aging in years to come," said NIA scientific director Dr. Luigi Ferrucci.
Andres is survived by his wife, Amelia, his children Julie Schwait, Clay Andres, Laurence Andres and Thomas Andres, and seven grandchildren.
Deatherage Leads NIGMS Cell Biology Branch
Dr. Jim Deatherage is the new chief of the Cell Biology Branch in the NIGMS Division of Cell Biology and Biophysics. The branch supports studies of fundamental processes of cell function, organization, division and differentiation. It also supports the development of technologies for basic research on cells and tissues.
Deatherage joined NIGMS in 1991 as a program director. In addition to overseeing grants and fellowships in cell biology and cellular imaging, he has led a variety of efforts to advance research in these areas. He has received numerous NIH and NIGMS awards for this work, as well as for coordinating the popular NIGMS Feedback Loop e-newsletter (now a blog) for grantees and applicants.
In his branch chief position, he plans to continue efforts to encourage new research directions in cell biology, to provide support and resources for applicants and to promote communication between NIGMS and the scientific community.
Deatherage received a B.S. in biochemistry from Michigan State University and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Cornell University, where he also did postdoctoral research. He was a postdoctoral fellow and staff scientist at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England, as well as a faculty member in the department of biochemistry at the University of Arizona. While at NIGMS, he also did a detail in CSR as a scientific review officer.
NIDDK Grantee Starzl Wins 2012 Lasker Award
Dr. Thomas E. Starzl (l), winner of a 2012 Lasker award for his pioneering efforts in organ transplantation, is congratulated by NIDDK director Dr. Griffin Rodgers.

Dr. Thomas E. Starzl, distinguished service professor of surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and a longtime NIDDK grantee, received the 2012 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award—shared with Dr. Roy Calne, University of Cambridge emeritus—for his work developing liver transplantation, an intervention that has restored normal life to thousands of people with end-stage
liver disease.
Starzl is the first person to perform a human liver transplant. He is a longtime NIH grantee, a former NIDDK Method to Extend Research in Time (MERIT) awardee and has served on the NIDDK digestive diseases advisory board. He also earned a 2004 National Medal of Science.
"Dr. Starzl is a pioneer in the world of transplantation and his work has saved thousands of lives," said NIDDK director Dr. Griffin Rodgers. "This award is a most fitting recognition of his many years of unwavering commitment to teaching, research and clinical practice."
Receiving the award on Sept. 21, Starzl said, "Transplantation services are not provided by single individuals. The team is what counts, and it is on behalf of my research and clinical teams—first in Denver and then in Pittsburgh—that I accept this prize. And by the way, the prize could have gone to one of those courageous kidney, liver or heart recipients who faced the great unknown in the early years and chose to run the uncharted gauntlet of transplantation instead of giving up. Win or lose, these were the heroes."

It was a low-key affair at La Cita Bar, a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles, where Lady Gaga spent the evening with 60 friends (um, that's a lot of friends, so good for her!) to celebrate her 25th birthday. Of course, she's Gaga, so she did wear a skintight black dress with a beehive hairdo, and even her own birthday party couldn't stop her from putting on an awesome show.
PopEater reports that Gaga covered songs by Madonna and Mötley Crüe before launching into her own hits, including her most recent smash, "Born This Way." But this is Gaga we're talking about, so, naturally, she continued with the Mexican theme of the restaurant by performing the song Mariachi-style, the perfect genre bend following her country-fried version that recently hit the webosphere.
We've already wished Gaga a happy birthday, but may we also suggest she, y'know, sit down for a second? Unyielding ambition is one thing, but turning your own birthday party into an awesome concert is another. We've got nothing but love for the girl, but can't she sneak in a birthday nap, just this once?
