Are student-athletes steered toward less-rigorous majors?
On a witness stand in a Chicago federal courtroom in June, Kain Colter discussed the dilemma he faced as he tried to carve the best path for academic and athletic success. The former Northwestern University quarterback wanted to choose a major that would best prepare him for medical school.
But he had football commitments and — as has been presented in multiple media reports on Colter's role in helping his alma mater's football team to unionize — the time he could spend on the playing field would have been compromised by the courses required for typical pre-med majors. He ended up choosing psychology.
Was it even a true choice? Colter acknowledged during a National Labor Relations Board hearing in February that an adviser told him not to take a chemistry class needed for pre-med majors because it would interfere with football. He said he would not have been offered admission to the university if not for athletics. Football, Colter said, was the reason that he was at Northwestern.
Declaring a major — an important and often difficult decision for college students — brings even more complications for college athletes. In the past 30 years, academics and critics have questioned whether athletes are being forced into certain majors because of time restrictions due to their sports; whether many different athletes naturally choose the same majors at their schools; and even whether coaches or athletic departments steer athletes into certain majors.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reviewed the declared majors for players on the Top 25 football and men's basketball teams, as ranked by The Associated Press, during the 2013-14 academic year. The review showed that 13 of the 22 top-ranked football teams that disclose majors and 16 of the 20 basketball teams that disclose majors have athletes clustered in areas of study.
A large number of football players at the University of Pittsburgh, which was not a Top 25 school but was included in the study for its geographic proximity, are enrolled in the administration of justice major. At Oregon, football players are bunched in a social science major, while there is a large percentage of history majors at UCLA. That fits the pattern for "clustering," a term that describes situations in which 25 percent or more of an athletic team are in the same major.
"We continue to see it growing year after year after year," said Amanda Paule-Koba, an associate professor of sport management at Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
Reps. Elijah E. Cummings, D-Md., and Tony Cardenas, D-Calif., of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform sent a memo to NCAA president Mark Emmert on May 20 seeking information about the NCAA's educational responsibilities. They brought up the topic of majors, asking Emmert what the NCAA is doing to ensure athletes aren't being placed in easy courses in order to maintain athletic eligibility.
In June, a lawsuit filed against the NCAA by former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon and several other former athletes is scheduled to go to trial in California. They're seeking an injunction giving college athletes the right to sell their services, changing the NCAA's restrictive amateur model into a free market.
Part of the former athletes' legal strategy will focus on the big-business aspect of NCAA sports and its separation from academics.
Sonny Vaccaro, a former youth basketball maven who is aiding the plaintiffs, said the lawyers for O'Bannon will focus on the issue of majors in order to illustrate college sports' divorce from academia. They intend to show that athletes are too often directed into majors that lead to sports success for the university rather than educational development for the individual.
"It's not illegal, but it certainly doesn't stand when they put down 'student-athlete,' " Vaccaro said. "We're tearing down the term 'student-athlete.' "
Teams typically disclose the majors that their athletes are pursuing in biographies that appear on schools' athletics websites and in team media guides. In pulling data for a review of majors, it turned out not every school publicized its majors — including the national champion Florida State football team and the national champion University of Connecticut men's basketball team.
Most schools did not include academic information for underclassmen or transfers, as universities have different rules for when students are allowed _ or required _ to declare a major. Some teams had most of their players already enrolled in a major while others had smaller numbers.
An analysis of the 1,668 athletes whose majors were listed found:
— On the Pitt football team, 19 of its 51 players who had declared a major were enrolled in the administration of justice major. Another 14 majored in communications, meaning those two majors account for 64.7 of the declared majors on the Pitt football team.
— On the Baylor football team, 36 of its 79 players with declared majors _ or 45.6 percent _ enrolled in a general studies major program. The Vanderbilt football team had 23 of its 63 players with declared majors enrolled in a human and organizational development program. The agricultural leadership and development major at Texas A&M drew 20 of the school's 50 football players with declared majors.
— On the University of Cincinnati basketball team, seven of its eight players with declared majors were enrolled in a criminal justice major. The Saint Louis University basketball team had six of its 10 players with declared majors studying business administration.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Quell Perfect! I've been searching for a tall and narrow wine rack (so my cats don't jump up on it!) and ran across one while shopping at World Market. Since I was just visiting SC and live in a state with no World Markets (the horror!), I went online to order it to be shipped. It came assembled with only a few dents from shipping (no protection to the top or bottom in the box) and I quickly moved my wine bottles into it. The big diameter bottles won't fit, but all normalish sized bottles will fit without a problem. September 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tommyguntl Great Value 4 Nice vertical racks to organize my reds. I'll probably buy another one. I shopped around and this is the best design and value I found. December 26, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Little ol' wine maker This is my 2nd one, there may be a 3rd. We needed good sturdy storage that maximizes space, I bought one of these a while ago and when I looked for a 2nd they were unavailable. So happy to get this. By the way there is no assembly it comes out of the box this way. No muss, no fuss. December 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by MikeM Nice wine rack This wine rack fit all my needs. It holds a good capacity of bottles. I stained the wood to match my living room. Looks great. Very good value. August 16, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Robert, a new wine enthusiast Perfect for a basic wine collection I live in a condo with limited space. I have a small downstairs closet and this fits perfectly in the side of the closet without interfering with the rest of my closets use and storage. It is a perfect storage for my new wine collection. I love it! October 16, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Debbie ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I had previously kept my wine bottles in the dining room in an attractive 6 bottle wooden wine rack. I realized the lighting and temperature of the room was not doing my wine any good, so I decided to expand my wine collection and move the wine to the basement. After reading all the reviews of this rack I bought it and decided to take an assembled unit home. I just love it, it does the job and my wine is much happier out of the sunlight and in a cooler temperature. Wine racks in your living quarters look great, but what's worth more, looks or properly stored wine that tastes great?, I chose taste over looks :) September 10, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisa Perfect find I was looking for a ready-made wine rack that would fit above my refrigerator where I had taken out those little cabinets that are useless. I had thought about building something but I saw this and realized I could cut it down and make it fit. It worked about perfectly! I painted mine to match my painted cabinets and it looks professional. I am so pleased. June 29, 2009

TOKYO, October 1, 2008 -- At age 29, Masato is already a veteran among K-1 World Max fighters. Tonight, the Japanese kickboxer countered any doubts about his speed and stamina by battling to victory in a pair of absolutely thrilling bouts to capture the K-1 World Max 2008 Final Championship at the Nippon Budokan.
With its 70kg/154lbs weight limit, K-1 World Max's speed and technique have captivated fightsport fans in Japan and around the world. Tonight, this year's top-four World Max fighters clashed in a couple of semifinal bouts, with the winners going head-to-head in the Main Event for the World Max 2008 Championship.
Masato's semifinal opponent was Japanese kickboxer Yoshihiro Sato, the '06 & '07 World Max Japan Champion.
Sato is tall, and used his 11cm/4" height advantage well, pushing in front kicks to control the distance and threatening with the knees when the action closed. Masato, meanwhile, drew on his speed, firing in low kicks and darting forward with punches, as both fighters scored soundly through an electrifying first round. The second saw even more action, Masato powering past his opponent's defenses with numerous left straight punches; Sato showing a great chin and continuing to counter. Incredibly, the boys raised it another notch in the third -- a round that showcased what World Max is all about. Sato benefited from a change in tactics, bearing in with punches, and Masato answered in kind as the pair stood toe-to-toe and traded 'em before Sato got through with a left-right combination to fell his opponent. Masato recovered well to score with straight punches, although most connected at the limit of his reach. Masato did better by closing to work the body blows and uppercuts.
One judge liked Sato but two scored it a draw, prompting a tiebreaker round. Here Masato was quick with his combinations, closing again to work the body; while Sato played it defensively, firing low kicks and pushing his opponent back with front kicks. Masato's aggression made the difference as he passed with the jab and straight punches then drove home body blows from inside. A late Masato left straight cocked Sato's head back, and by the time Sato resumed his punching attacks it was too late. Masato with the hard-fought unanimous decision and a trip to the final.
The smart money had it that Masato would meet two-time and Defending World Max Champion Andy Souwer in the final. But Souwer hit a roadblock on the road to glory, in the form of 21 year-old Ukrainian fighter Artur Kyshenko.
Kyshenko smartly snapped in the kicks to start, but Souwer's blocking and evasions were excellent, and the Dutch fighter went on the offensive late in the first with a couple of smart one-two punch combinations. A bit more action in the second as the distance closed, both combatants throwing punches -- Souwer looking good with tight combinations on the counter. But still, neither fighter showed a killer instinct. Souwer's cautious style was now cause for concern. When would he break out?
The judge's card had the pair even going into the third, and although Souwer's blocking in the final frame was once again near-flawless and his combinations on the counter displayed admirable technical skill, his overall defensive strategy did not win him the round, and the bout went to a tiebreaker.
Kyshenko knew he had an excellent chance to win it. The Ukrainian's stamina served him well as he launched a number of creative attacks, including a spinning back kick and flying knees. Souwer responded with low kicks and also varied his attacks some, but that might have been the Champ's problem -- he spent too much time responding. When the bell sounded, judges gave Kyshenko the nod and a date with Masato in the final.
In ten World Max bouts, Kyshenko's only loss had come against Masato in last year's final. In that bout, Kyshenko was ahead on the cards before falling to a Masato left hook. And so this had the making of a great, albeit unexpected final. Both fighters had gone four rounds in their semifinal contests, but Kyshenko -- seven years Masato's junior -- had taken fewer blows en route to the final.
The fighters came out hard and fast, exhibiting no ill effects from their semifinal bouts. Kyshenko answered Masato's first low kick with three of his own, and Masato worked the straight punches, but Kyshenko's blocking was sound. Kyshenko landed a solid low kick and right hook, however more of Masato's surgical strikes got through, the Japanese fighter improving both his power and accuracy as the first round wound down.
Significant among World Max rule changes introduced for this event was an "open-scoring" system, whereby judges' scorecards are displayed on arena monitors at the conclusion of each round.
It might have lit a fire under Kyshenko when one judge scored the first round a draw and the other two gave it to Masato by a point. Kyshenko started the second with a hard right straight punch and continued striking with combinations until a left dropped Masato. The trip to the mat did not unnerve Masato, who coolly countered with low kicks and closed with uppercuts. Meanwhile, many of Kyshenko's punches were exploding promisingly from the guard only to miss the mark, and a Kyshenko kick sailed high late in the round.
Still, the down had put Kyshenko up on one card going into the third. The Ukrainian had his chance, but could not put this one away. Stamina had entered the equation, and if there was a fatigued fighter in the ring it was certainly not the ever-advancing Masato. Plenty of hard stuff thrown here, Kyshenko floating some and missing more; Masato solidly planted on his feet to take the edge in power and accuracy. Kyshenko however remained dangerous, landing a knee late in the round.
After three rounds, one card had it for Masato while the others added up even, and so a tiebreaker was prescribed.
Crunch time, and they came out swinging -- but again Masato set himself better, picking his spots and hitting the target while doing an excellent job of reading and evading Kyshenko's big hooks. Masato had the initiative, and he had the right attack at the right time. Although Kyshenko connected with a hard upper, his flagging guard left him vulnerable and he received more than he gave, and Masato finished the round in control.
A very good performance by the young Kyshenko, but a better one from the experienced Masato, whose stamina, smarts and versatility erased the second-round down and earned him a unanimous decision and the World Max Belt. It was the second time Masato has won the World Max Final, he also took it in 2003.
"These were the toughest fights I've ever had," said Masato in his post-event interview. "My face and my legs hurt. I didn't expect to be downed twice, I gave 100%, and I have nothing left -- now I just want to relax and have a cup of coffee! Of course, I am very happy to win the belt. It is definitely different from what I felt before, now I think I can realize the true value of this belt. I'm completely exhausted, right now I feel like I don't want to ever fight again -- so I'll think about the future later."
"Now I understand why Masato is the champion," said Kyshenko afterward. "He has good punches and kicks, and I think the reason I lost was because I don't have as much experience as he does. But now I've fought him two years in a row, it was a great learning experience. Also it gave me a lot of confidence to beat Andy Souwer, who was the Max champion twice. Last year I finished in third place and this year I was second-place, so I'm improving one step at a time -- next year I'll be the champion!"
In the first tournament reserve, Japanese kickboxer Yasuhiro Kido fought the first-ever World Max Champion, boxer Albert Kraus of Holland.
Good positioning and movement by Kraus in the early going, the Dutchman getting through with the fists and scoring with low kicks. Kido connected with a couple of strikes but otherwise struggled to find his distance, and a Kraus knee at the bell sent the Japanese fighter to the interval with a nasty gash over his eye. Kido came alive in the second, making good with combinations, but time was twice stopped for the ringside doctor to check his worsening cut. Kido did not pass the second evaluation, so Kraus had the TKO win.
"Kido was good and strong and technical," said Kraus post-bout. "I'm happy with my performance this year, the only thing I missed out on was the championship belt."
The second tournament reserve pitted two-time World Max Champion Buakaw Por Pramuk of Thailand against Indian muay thai fighter Black Mamba.
There is a reason Buakaw has won the World Max twice, and the Thai fighter showed it tonight. Mamba made a go of it, but was simply out of his league as Buakaw commanded the distance, pace and style of this one from the first bell. At just 2:18 of the first Buakaw had the win courtesy a couple of downs -- the first after a leg-grab and left straight punch to the chops, the second courtesy a couple of side-launched right hooks.
The evening's 13-bout card also included a World Max Superfight, the ISKA World Lightweight Title Match and another lightweight contest, plus the quarterfinals in K-1's new Koshien King of U-18 series.
In the World Max Superfight, Japanese kickboxer Taishin Kohiruimaki met Dutch kickboxer Joeri Mes. Kohiruimaki started with an ambitious knee, but Mes quickly seized control, making good with the left straight punches to score an early down. Mes continued to close on his opponent, and although Kohi came back with knees and low kicks midway through the second, Mes was the dominating fighter, and started the third with a three-point lead on all cards. Kohiruimaki desperately needed to make some noise here, and as time wound down he opened up -- but it was the indefatigable Mes who got through with the decisive blow -- a left hook on a counter -- to lay the Japanese fighter out flat. An impressive display of power, speed and spirit by Mes.
"I feel good," said Mes, "I fought aggressively, like Melvin [Manhoef] and Badr [Hari]. "I knew Kohi is a good fighter, but he kept clinching. After my win today, I'd like to fight more in K-1. I already fought Andy Souwer once and I lost, I'd like to fight him again and win! I'd also like to fight Japanese fighters like Masato and Sato."
In the ISKA World Lightweight (60kg/132lbs) Title Match, it was Japanese fighters Susumu Daiguji, a 30 year-old karate stylist; and Daisuke Uematsu, a kickboxer two days shy of his 24th birthday.
A quick start and a quicker finish to this one. Daiguji shot in with the fists, Uematsu weathering the attack before countering with a middle kick then pumping up a knee to score a down. As Daiguji slumped against the ropes then onto the mat, the referee stepped in to call it. Uematsu the winner by KO at just 0:29.
Another lightweight contest featured Japanese fighters Haruaki Otsuki and Ryuji Kajiwara.
The shorter fighter, Otsuki hung his guard loose and low and chased Kajiwara with kicks, but ate a few fists -- including a hard right hook in the second. It was anyone's fight going into the final frame. Good action here, Kajiwara punching into his opponent's guard, Otsuki answering with a punishing high kick. Kajiwara scored with a right hook, but Otsuki was more creative inside, and took a unanimous decision.
In the evening's opening fight, a World Max contest, Nieky "The Natural" Holzken of Holland's prestigious Golden Glory Gym rammed the fists past South African boxer Virgil Kalakoda's guard to score two quick first-round downs and pick up the KO win.
Also on the card were the quarterfinal contests in the new K-1 Koshien King of U-18 Series. Paralleling Japan's hugely popular Koshien high school baseball tournament -- which enjoys television viewer ratings exceeding those of Japanese major league baseball -- K-1 Koshien is open to high school students aged 16-18, with a weight range limitation of 57kg/126lbs to 62kg/137lbs. Bouts are conducted under modified K-1 rules, with 5-counts and fighters wearing ten-ounce gloves.
Koshien promoter's selection Hiroya snapped in straight punches to rattle Taishi Hiratsuka, a Top-3 Chubu Region Fighter, prompting the referee to call it for Hiroya. Shota Shimada, also a promoter's selection, took a unanimous decision over Ryo Murakoshi, a Top-3 Kanto fighter; Chubu Champion Ryuya Kusakabe's high kick KO'd Kanto Finalist Daizo Sasaki late in the first round; and Kanto Champion Koya Urabe scored a second-round TKO over Yusuke Tsuboi, a Chubu Finalist.
During tonight's intermission, a draw was held to determine the semifinal matchups for the Koshien Final, which will be held at K-1's New Year's Eve Dynamite event. It will be Hiroya vs Shota Shimada; and Ryuya Kusakabe vs Koya Urabe.
The K-1 World Max 2008 Final attracted a sellout crowd of 15,321 to the Nippon Budokan. All bouts were conducted under K-1 Rules -- three rounds of three minutes each, with a possible tiebreaker round in all but the K-1 Koshien Series, and two possible tiebreakers in the ISKA Title bout and the World Max Final's championship bout.
The event was broadcast live in Japan on the TBS network. For television scheduling information in other regions contact local providers. Visit the K-1 Official Website (www.k-1.co.jp/k-1gp [2]) for official results and comprehensive coverage of this and all K-1 events.

Holzman will be joined onstage by former Elektra Chairman Joe Smith
CLEVELAND (August 1, 2011) - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will host a Hall of Fame Series interview with 2011 inductee and Elektra Records founder Jac Holzman on Wednesday, August 10th at 7 p.m. in the Museum's Foster Theater.
Holzman will be joined onstage by the former Elektra Records chairman Joe Smith. Questions will be taken from the audience at the end of the interview. This event is free with a reservation, however seating is limited. Please email email@example.com to RSVP. This event will be live streamed on rockhall.com.
Jac Holzman founded Elektra Records in 1950, initially operating it out of his college dorm room. After dropping out of college, Holzman returned to New York, where he pursued the growth of Elektra in earnest. The label primarily focused on folk music throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, but in its determined pursuit of the cutting edge, Elektra signed some of contemporary music's most groundbreaking acts in the latter half of the Sixties. Establishing a presence in Los Angeles, Elektra signed Love (its first rock group), the Doors (its biggest act of any kind) and cult bands like Clear Light, Crabby Appleton and Rhinoceros. Honing his radar on Detroit, he signed the MC5 and the Stooges, both of them explosive, uncompromising rock groups whose impact on popular music would be felt for decades. From London came Queen, an eclectic glam-rock group that rivaled Led Zeppelin for popularity in the Seventies. Since departing the label in 1973, he's stayed heavily involved in the conjoined worlds of music and technology with such companies as Pioneer Electronics and Panavision. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011 by John Densmore of the Doors.
Former Elektra Chairman Joe Smith's career began in New England, receiving his Bachelor of Arts from Yale University and working as a sportscaster and deejay, later appearing in the film Jamboree. In 1961, he moved to California and entered the music business as National Promotion Manager for Warner Brothers Records and within a decade, he was president of the label. During those years, he discovered and guided the careers of artists such as Peter, Paul and Mary, Rod Stewart, James Taylor, the Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt, Deep Purple, the Allman Brothers and many more before becoming Chairman of Elektra/Asylum Records in 1975. Later in his career, Smith was named President and CEO of Home Sports Entertainment and later Capitol/EMI Music before retiring in 1993. Smith serves on the board of the Recording Industry Association of America as well as the Black Music Association.

Like so many women, I find myself fascinated by the Amy Bishop case. When I first heard the news, I did a double take. A female neuroscientist charged with shooting up a bunch of her colleagues because she didn't get tenure?? Huh?? It's not that workplace rampages aren't commonplace in the annals of multiple murder. There's even an expression for them—"going postal." But they're usually the province of disgruntled, male, loner types. I'd always assumed that kind of rage was driven by testosterone, that women simply didn't get that angry–and when they did it was a result of abuse. Women killed, yes; they killed their children when they became overwhelmed with the difficulties of parenting, or when they had a psychotic break; they killed those who had abused them, including parents, husbands and boyfriends. They even committed murder during robberies and other criminal acts–and became serial killers, like Aileen Wuornos, who supposedly killed in response to her history of rape and abuse. Women just don't go postal. It's not female behavior…or is it?
Well, actually it is female behavior, just not toward bosses or colleagues – at least not so far. The expression "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" is frighteningly accurate if you've been one. As a "woman scorned," I know exactly what it feels like to want to murder someone–in this case, my ex who left me for another woman. As the author of a book about divorce, I heard many women express a variation of "If I'd had a gun when he told me he was leaving me for another woman, I would have used it." In fact, many women do use that gun, or other weapon. I wrote about the case of the Texas housewife who, it has been alleged, ran over her cheating orthodontist husband three times with her Mercedes when she caught him at a hotel with another woman. I was one of the many jilted wives all over the land secretly cheering, "You go, girl." I wouldn't run over my own ex, but I wasn't above cheering on someone else who did. There are countless cases of women who kill their cheating men, and the women they cheat with.
Amy Bishop fits neatly into that category. She was "a woman scorned," just not by a male lover, but by a group of men who had "cheated" her out of what she thought she was entitled to–tenure and the security and prestige that come with it. Unfortunately she was a woman scorned who happened to have a gun.
Women may start going postal more often now that they have gained power in the workplace, just proving that we women aren't immune to the same hideously violent behavior as men once we are in the same position to be "scorned" by our bosses. Looked at from this vantage point, what Amy Bishop is charged with isn't so surprising. Of course, it was still the act of a deranged person – killing out of rage is always, to some extent, inexplicable, no matter who does it or why. But as a "woman scorned," Amy Bishop's act falls right on the spectrum of people who snap when their sense of entitlement is challenged by reality.

- 4-way massaging rollers stimulate skin before and after hair is removed to minimize sting
- Smartlight illuminates the epilation area so that even the finest hairs are visible
- Starter head has fewer tweezers to help skin adjust to the epilation process
- Efficiency Pro Clip covers larger areas than the average epilator so more hair is removed in one pass
- Smooth, hair-free skin for up to four weeks
- Kit Includes: EfficiencyPro clip, Travel Pouch
- One year limited warranty
Before using, soften skin by bathing and dry your skin thoroughly. Avoid lotion of any sort because it will make your hair slippery and difficult for the epilator to catch. Rub your hair in the opposite direction of growth in order to make the hairs stand up, and test out the epilator on a piece of skin before you begin in order to get used to the sensation. When you're ready (remember: no pain, no gain!) place the epilator against your skin and move it in the opposite direction of hair growth (like shaving). The slower you go, the more hair the epilator will be able to remove. After one or a few strokes, you'll be hair-free for weeks to come.

Worth It!I've always had major problems with shaving (irritated legs, insane itchiness, razor burn, etc.) but I never considered waxing because of the cost. I was introduced to this product through a friend of a friend and it's a lifesaver! The sensation takes a bit to get used to, but it's definitely worth it.Feb 24, 2010Kristen / Ontario, Canada

Works Like A CharmOk, reality - its a plucking machine. Plucking hurts...not having a baby hurts, but by no means is it pain-free. However, this works fabulously. Truely. There are 2 choices on epilating...one for novice...and one that is for us hard core folks. I used the one that gets the shortest hairs possible which I use under my arms. Amazing. Got everything in a very short time. I didnt have to go over the same spot, time and time again, which is something I found in other epilators. Great product...does exactly what it says it does.Aug 3, 2009Dz / California

Not For Curly HairAfter auditioning this tool for several months, I finally have enough experience with it to write this review. I have medium texture curly hair on my legs, so keeping up with hair removal is a constant maintenance chore for me. After trying nearly every method over the years I decided to try this one, and it worked great! Ive never had such a silky smooth result without cuts or burns from razors and depilatories. My husband shook his head as he witnessed my regular ritual hair ripping. "Doesnt that hurt?" he asked. To which I replied, "Yes, but when I stop, it feels so good! (ha, ha)" I went nuts using it even on my armpits and toes. I was in heaven--until the hairs started growing back. I began getting ingrown hairs by the dozens. I thought maybe it would stop happening if I kept it up, but they did not cease. So, I was faced with numerous unsightly reddened sites from removing inch-plus long ingrown hairs. (yikes!) These sores are just as aggravating as the cuts or burns and actually take longer to heal. I havent used my epilator for a few months now, and the number of ingrown hairs is finally starting to decrease. My moral to this story to pass on to you: if you have medium to coarse or curly hair, this method is probably not for you.Jun 2, 2009Katielynne / Astoria, OregonHAIR TYPECurly Hair

Better The Second Time AroundI had an old Braun Silk-epil for about 10 years. I loved it! When it finally died I knew that I wanted another. My new Silk-epil is even better than my first one.

My friends just found out that they're having twins! They already have an almost-2 year old son.
My other friend had twin boys a few weeks before I had my now 17-month old, after she already had a 3 year old girl.
I know twins are something that all little girls dream of growing up...and not that it's anything that they can take back now or even could have chosen...but I wonder how many people would WANT to have twins if they could choose between having one and two...
Personally, eventhough I always dreamed of having twins, I think it would be so much harder...and more expensive. Nursing, diapers, laundry, having to buy two of everything, and on top of that having a toddler running around (in both their cases)...I just wish them luck!
If you could choose to have twins, would you...and why?

Enniscorthy : Michelin's recommendations
Built on the sloping banks of the Slaney, Enniscorthy holds an important place in Irish history because of its involvement in the 1798 rebellion. The town's castle and cathedral are two buildings of exceptional interest and its examples of 19C architecture have remained largely unchanged. Events in the town's history are depicted in a 1798 memorial (Market Square). The surrounding country is well suited to the growing of soft fruits.

Man beats children for passing gas in car, deputies say
Published: Friday, December 21, 2012 at 1:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 21, 2012 at 7:37 p.m.
A man with three children in a car got angry because no one would say which child passed gas so he beat them all with a belt, sheriff's investigators said.
Austin Davis, 32, was arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated child abuse, an arrest report shows.
Deputies were called to a house on McGregor Road near DeLand Dec. 15. A woman at the home told deputies that one of the children said they were whipped because they would not tell Davis who passed gas in the car, the report said.
The woman reported to deputies that the children had multiple black bruises on their legs, thighs and buttocks.
Photographs of the injuries were shown to deputies, the report said.
The pictures showed a 6-year-old with several dark bruises on the buttocks, legs and thighs. A 12-year-old had dark bruises on his legs and thighs. A 9-year-old refused to have pictures of his bruises taken because he feared retaliation if Davis found out he reported the incident, the report states.
When interviewed by an investigator with the Department of Children & Families, the children said they were whipped Thanksgiving Day weekend. The children told the DCF investigator that Davis got angry because someone passed gas while in the car and would not own up to it, deputies said.

We believe that while a funeral is a time of sadness, it is also an opportunity
to honor a life well lived.
Our goal is to help you and your loved ones share cherished memories and comfort
each other during your time of loss.
We will assist you with creating a highly personalized funeral service which reflects
and celebrates the life of your loved one.
When you come to the funeral home to make funeral arrangements, you can expect to
spend approximately two hours with our staff creating a meaningful service to honor
your loved one, gathering information and selecting memorial products.
We will discuss your wishes for a funeral or memorial service and plan a ceremony
which reflects and honors their life. We will collect information about your loved
one's life for the obituary and official notifications.
One of the most meaningful aspects of any service is the Life Story Memorial Tribute
Video, which displays photos of your loved one's life to guests at the visitation
and service. This video will also be posted on the obituary for online visitors.
We will work with you on creating this video.
We will also assist you in selecting merchandise such as a casket, burial vault,
a guest register for family and friends to sign at the service, memorial flowers
and keepsakes.
Our staff will help you design a cemetery marker which will serve as a permanent
memorial and gathering place for family and friends.
We want you to be completely satisfied with our services, so we will review all
of your selections and make sure all of your questions are answered, ensuring that
you can leave the funeral home with peace of mind that everything will be taken
care of.
Are funerals still important in this day and age?
Noted grief counselor and educator
Dr. Alan Wolfelt explains how a funeral ceremony or gathering can help you get off
to a good start in your life after the loss of a loved one.
The day a loved one dies can be one of the most difficult days of your life. In
the days following, you will be faced with many decisions and tasks - over 88 of
them. Some of these items include notifying clergy, relatives, the cemetery, insurance
agents, planning a funeral service, selecting merchandise and flowers, coordinate
schedules with out-of-town family and friends, and make financial arrangements.
Through advance planning, you can take care of many of these matters in advance.
Click here to learn more.
A very special part of any funeral or memorial gathering is the Life Story Memorial
Tribute Video, which is a collection of cherished photos set to music. Photos stir
our memories and our emotions, allowing us to reflect and remember. The video is
played at a service or visitation, and can be viewed on your loved one's online
memorials. Our staff can assist you in creating this tribute.
Grief expert and educator Dr. Alan Wolfelt explains how a memorial video can provide
hope and healing in a time of loss.
Caskets are available in many types of materials, including precious metals such
as bronze and copper, steel, and fine-quality woods such as mahogany, cherry and
There are many ways in which a casket may be personalized to reflect the life of
your loved one.
Decorative panels inside the casket lid can illustrate favorite pastimes, interests
and special relationships. Special designs may also be added to the corner of the
casket, or inside the lid.
To see a selection of caskets as well as our other services and merchandise, please
go to our Online Funeral Planner.
Many families ask us about the need for a burial vault. Most cemeteries require
an outer burial container of some kind to protect the grave space from the settling
earth and heavy machinery.
Lined burial vaults provide the most protection to the casket. An example to the
right shows the impact of settling and machinery on a grave space with no vault,
an unlined outer burial container, and a lined burial vault.
Vaults are available in precious metals such as bronze and copper, stainless steel
and concrete.
To see a selection of vaults as well as our other services and merchandise, please
go to our Online Funeral Planner.

Price: $98.00
The trinity knot, also called a triquetra, is an unending three-cornered shape, used throughout Celtic art as far back as the 8th century Book of Kells. Artists and craftsmen have used it to represent three-fold concepts for centuries: past, present, and future; daughter, mother, grandmother; and the Christian Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Today many people embrace the trinity knot as a symbol of Irish or Scottish heritage or spiritual beliefs.
These 14k gold-plated sterling designs are handcrafted by artisans in a family-run studio in the heart of Dublin. Two rings encircling the central knot are accented by diamond chips.

ZF-9124: JQuery auto-enables if ZendX_Application_Resource_Jquery is used
When you add JQuery support via resources, e.g. in config.ini:
resources.jquery.stylesheet = "/styles/blitzer/jquery-ui.css"
It becomes always enabled. The problem is located inside ZendX_Application_Resource_Jquery::_parseOptions() method. Options are pared inside foreach loop:
109 foreach ($options as $key => $value) {
... ...
156 }
But somebody put code for uienable parameter outside that loop:
158 if ((isset($key['uienable']) && (bool) $key['uienable'])
159 || (isset($key['ui_enable']) && (bool) $key['ui_enable'])
160 || (!isset($key['ui_enable']) && !isset($key['uienable'])))
161 {
162 $this->_view->JQuery()->uiEnable();
163 } else {
164 $this->_view->JQuery()->uiDisable();
165 }
There are two ways of solving this: First is to put code back into foreach loop, so the case will look like:
case 'uienable':
case 'ui_enable':
if ((bool) $value) {
} else {
I also propose to include new option:
case 'enable':
if ((bool) $value) {
} else {
But to keep less lines of code and to keep somebody's idea
to move logic of
uienable option parsing out from that loop,
I have prepared a patch which I will attach to this report.
My proposed patch
I believe this is just an error, as in ZendX_Application_Resource_Jquery it says
/** * resources.Jquery.uienable = true; * resources.Jquery.ui_enable = true; */
Should be fixed, though,because there's no way to disable JQuery UI unless you put the "uienable" option last in the specified options, and even then, it will only work when you have specified a "cdn_ssl" option, as otherwise, the "cdn_ssl" option is appended to the specified options and will be the last value in the iteration.
Yes, it's an error. And that was what I said. Bug == error. Or what did you tried to say?
Benjamin, I think this is an issue with zendx_jquery, cause imho it shouldn't enable the ui part unless uiEnable() got called. If you disagree, please elaborate and reassign to me.
{quote}But to keep less lines of code and to keep somebody's idea to move logic of
uienable option parsing out from that loop,{quote}
That 'somebody' would be me. So if you have any questions about that, feel free to ask.
I don't have any questions.
I found a bug, fixed it (at least in my project) and shared patch with you. If you'll look into the code (at least at the part that I showed) you'll see that this code is totally unpredictable. Using variables from the loop outside it - is not good idea at all.
This is not an issue with ZendX_JQuery, it's an issue with ZendX_Application_Resource_Jquery. ZendX_Jquery doesn't enabled by default, but it get's if you'll use ZendX_Application_Resource_Jquery, as the last auto-enables jQuery UI because of small bug (or one may call it a "feature"). And enabling of jQuery UI in it's turn enables jQuery.
So, NO! This is not an issue with ZendX_JQuery.
PS In fact, you can resolve this issue with "not a bug" and pretend that it should be as it is. All I wanted is to point out the bug someone can mess with (as I did) and share a solution. Will you fix it or not - I don't care. :))
Version 1.10.6 Still the same problem. :( Apply the patch.
This is definitely an issue with ZendX_Application_Resource_Jquery. Without even considering any jQuery plugin semantics: $key['uienable'] is currently used in a scope that $key is not even defined in. At least it wouldn't be if we were using a "real" programming language. ;-)
So please, fix this issue in the next release.
This issue was fixed with ZF-9980, committed with r22499 and merged with the release branch in r22500. Unfortunately 1.10.6 was packaged around r 22482, so it just missed it. You can either use trunk, apply the patch yourself, or wait for August. Usually in the first week of each month a new mini release is released.

Stack on gun safe
Stack on gun safe: Mandatory for depositing your guns
Stack on gun safe is certainly one of the most important appliances any gun collector out there should have. If you are someone who loves guns a lot and you want to make sure that people who are not supposed to reach them will never do that, by getting a gun safe you will avoid this problem and possibly save the life of children who may unknowingly play with your guns and get hurt. You will not only manage to keep people safe, but you will also be able to keep all of your guns organized properly.
One of the recommended safety units you can consider for your gun collection is the stack on gun safe. It's a product that comes from a company dealing with manufacturing tool storage systems. However, I know that you are very curious to why you will have to consider this brand and disregard others. Well, let me tell you more about that.

It's always so sad during the first few days past Halloween. The anticipation is gone, the costumes are gone, that wonderful haunted feeling….gone. The candy isn't though, thankfully! In fact, the post Halloween candy sales are almost as exciting as the holiday itself. Ok, maybe I exaggerate a bit…
I found this unusual candy at Walgreens on sale. Seeing the ominous size of the package, I can see why. It's huge! What drew me into this specific candy as opposed to all the other offerings was, well, come on, look at it! It's a bona fide candy spin off! A candy of a candy! That's something you don't see everyday.
Inside this monster of a bag, there's individual packets of the gummi corn. The amount in each varied greatly, so I don't know how much quality control paid attention to these. The kernels themselves are very attractive. They're the size of real candy corn but the colors are brighter and more ghoulish. The texture is firm when you handle, they're not limp and squishy like most gummis on the market. In the mouth, the chew is firm, more like those "fruit snacks" than gummis.
Scary Cherry (pink and red): Very artificial and bitter. SOmething about it reminds of of Valentine's Day "red" flavors. It's berry like, but nondescript.
Ghostly Grape Punch (purple ad blue): This taste like a milder version of Welch's grape jelly. Pretty tasty, especially considering I'm not a big fan of grape flavors.
Phantom Pineapple Orange (yellow and orange): I get light notes of both the pineapple and orange. It's sweet and a little zesty, like both fruits. It reminds me of a fruity popsicle.
Bizarre Berry Kiwi (pink and green): I taste melon, a vague kiwi essence with a strawberry sweetness to it.
I have to give it to Brach's, they made a tasty treat here and I'm happy I caught it before it disappeared until next year. But, like all spin offs, it doesn't measure up to the original.

For the best infusions, we recommend brewing this tea in a
Tokoname teapot
We encourage you to experiment with the quantity of tea leaves and the length of the steep time to find your desired brew strength. Varying the water temperature isn't recommended, as water that is too hot will over-extract the bitter components of tea, while water that is too cool might not fully draw out the aromas and flavors of tea.

Reviews for Simple Corn Chowder
"I have been wanting to try this for a long time. Yesterday I did and tested it on my neighbors , one that doesn't usually like corn chowder as it's to sweet, but this was a hit all the way. I omitted the rosemay and increased the thyme. For the last 2 cups of corn I used a package of Birdseye Steamfresh Southwestern Corn, which has onion, red and green peppers in it. I used one can of broth with 4 cups of corn and used one can with the last addition of corn as it was more than 2 cups in package. This will be on my soup rotation for the fall and winter."
"This chowder is excellent. I did modify a bit. I used drained canned corn and reduced the chicken broth to one 14 oz can (about 2 cups), and omitted the rosemary and tyme. I also added a teaspoon of chicken soup base to get the flavor without the added liquid."
"I don't care for corn but my husband wanted some corn chowder and I can't stand to buy the store bought so I searched out a healthy simple corn chowder recipe and came upon this one. He loved it and the biggest surprise is so did I, the person who hates cooked corn. I made it with fresh corn and it's gratifying to know all the ingredients going into our food are the best quality we can get."
"Not good at all. Tastes like potpourri soup. Did not like the seasoning and it needs milk or cream""
"My husband eats anything, and after 3 bites he pushed his bowl away and wouldn't eat anymore. This was not a favorite at my house--not even for me. It had a weird taste and the texture was off...perhaps I did something wrong in the cooking process, though. Sorry :("

Puerto Vallarta Thrives During the Summer Months
Published May 22, 2013 - (Updated Aug 29, 2013)
There is a misconception that looms over Puerto Vallarta like an ominous gray cloud: Puerto Vallarta dies after Semana Santa. (It doesn't, but we won't cut to the chase just yet ...) This notion, along with variations of it putting down our summer season, have plagued our destination for years. It's not uncommon to hear expats asking one another "when are you leaving?" with Semana Santa, Mexico's Spring Break equivalent, becoming the turning point. To that effect, it is also not uncommon for local businesses to frown every time Semana Santa comes early on any given year, fearing they will miss out on coveted American/Canadian income. This year, for example, Semana Santa began with Palm Sunday on March 24. Palm Sunday 2014 is April 13.
Unfortunately, every time we mention that Puerto Vallarta slows down during the Summer to our friends, colleagues, online, in conversation or in social media, we also, indadvertedly, do our fair share of negative promotion, whether we choose to or not. Of course, nobody can deny the changes in weather, the air becoming more hot and humid as the Summer arrives, and the heavy rains adding an extra layer of challenge as you plan your activities through town. But the good news is, an increasing number of initiatives have been set in place to dispel the fact that Summer is dead here, or there simply aren't enough things to do.
For example, since its inception nine years ago, Restaurant Week has been taking place during the second half of May, which also happens to be the month in which Puerto Vallarta celebrates its anniversary as a city and a municipality. New events, such as the Bugambilia Festival and Gay Pride celebration, also taking place in May, add to the appeal of being here. At the same time, more and more budget savvy travelers are looking at May and June as shoulder seasons, perfect to enjoy Puerto Vallarta, even if the weather is not quite as glorious as it is during the Winter and Spring months.
How do those of us that live here year around keep busy and cope with the changing weather? What is there to do for those choosing to visit Puerto Vallarta during the Summer months? This is the first of a series of features that will appear in Vallarta Lifestyles Newsletter hoping to celebrate Summer in Puerto Vallarta.
Two Minutes With Expats in Vallarta
We took time to meet with Kimberly Altman of Expats in Vallarta during one of their ongoing social events at Langostino's, an oceanfront restaurant in Puerto Vallarta's popular Los Muertos Beach. The organization maintains a helpful website with resources for locals or tourists looking to get a clearer picture of what it's like to live here on a long-term basis.
