Best ever for chapped lips
By klhh
from Carmel, Indiana
I use this product every night before I go to bed. It's wonderful for preventing or treating chapped lips. If my lips ever get chapped, this seems to heal them very quickly. I once forgot to take it with me on vacation and my lips really dried out. It's a must have for me and I have never forgotten to take it with me again! I feel like I could skip other products that I have and be fine, but this one I need every day! When I travel, I use the little spatula and scoop out some to put in a travel sized container.
Love it!
By No nickname
from Modesto, CA
Three years ago I was diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome. An effect of it is dry mouth. The effects of dry mouth extends to my lips. I love wearing lipstick but after a couple of hours, my mouth looks terrible. Paula's lip balm, used twice a day, has helped greatly. My lips aren't as dry. I still don't wear lipstick but I have the lip balm; it seems to be all I need. The exfoliating lip scrub helps, too.

like and then...
By Susanne
from Colorado
I really like this balm for its creaminess and smoothing qualities for dry lips. I just really hate the jar and lid, for this reason I won't order it again and will buy at the local grocerystore/drugstore a PC-approved lip balm or use the new lipbalms with spf.

Finally Resolved Chapped Lips
By Coder Girl
from Seal Beach, CA
I use this product twice daily as part of my morning and night routine as well as throughout the day if I find my lips drying out. My lips were chronically chapped and I used to use burts bees daily until I read about the irritants and switched to this product. It works amazingly well! I've used the same jar daily for 7 months and still haven't run out.
By Lori
from Modesto Ca
I've had chapped lips my entire life, until I discovered this product, that is. I've also been through countless lip balms, but this is it for me now. I won't ever be without it. I too would love a smaller, more hygenic container for on the go, but I would never want the formula to change. I have seriously considered hoarding this stuff. Love!

Great basic balm
By Amy
from Canada
This balm is basic but wonderful. Unfragranced, it contains nothing that irritates my skin. I use it on my lips, where it is waxy enough to last. It is also great as a cuticle balm. If my nose skin is broken from excessive nose blowing (eew), this is what I use. Sometimes it is annoying to have to apply with my fingers, but the texture is such that a twist up or squeeze tube would not work.
By Melodia
from Bellflower, CA
I absolutely love this product!!! I use this daily on my cuticles and under my hand cream!!! My cuticles were a mess!!! Dried out and horrible looking!!! With just two uses this balm has completely changed the appearance of my cuticles!!! I have Rheumtiod Arthritis and I am very self-conscious of my hands but this has made the appearance of them so much better!!! Please don't ever discontinue this product!!! I was surprised about how non-greasy this balm is!!! I work in an office with paper all day and this has never transferred to the paper and left greasy marks!!! Totally in love with this!!!

Love it, but want different packaging
By Elizabeth
from Tacoma, WA
I LOVE this balm. It's the only thing that keeps flaky lips away. I keep it on my nightstand, use it on my lips every night before bed, and wake up with smooth lips, no flaking, no chapped spots. I won't travel without it. I've been hooked for years, I will cry if this is ever discontinued. My only gripe is the packaging. I wish it came in a tube, stick, or something like the eos balm. Dipping my finger down into the cup seems less than hygienic. When the container is full I can just apply straight from the container to my lips, but if it's half fullI need to use my fingertip. I work in a hospital and scrub my hands many times a day, sometimes I just want to be able to apply lip balm without a full surgical scrub first.
Customer Service Response: Hi there! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience with this product. A jar would never be the first choice of packaging for Paula's Choice, but unfortunately this formula is too thick for a squeeze tube, but too soft for a stick. We'll certainly share your feedback with the team!

Perfect for Accutane!
By Sam
from Montreal
Ever since I've started acutane my lips have been at their worst state, dry, chapped, peeling and bleeding...I tried multiple lip balms that comforted them but not for long. This balm seriously repaired my lips! I put on like five layers of this before bed and the next day, my lips are all smooth and repaired with zero signs of dryness. After three days of using this, I had no more flaky lips, as if I'm not on acutane ....CRAZY. The only downside for me is the taste, not very pleasant, tastes like canola oil.

Excellent lip treatment
By azaad
from Undisclosed
Really helped with my dry lips. Recommend it to anyone with dry flaky lips as it leaves lips smooth and flake free.
By Amy S
This is by far one of my fav PC products. Once applied on the lips, you don't feel the constant need to reapply. My husband loves it too and we usually fight over it - so my next order will have a his/hers. Can't wait for the new packaging as I am not a fan of applying any lip product with my fingers.
Best I've found so far
By Jamie P.
This is my favorite lip balm stuff ever! I put a coat on every morning before the rest of my makeup routine and let it sit a few minutes, then exfoliate with soft, smooth results. I reapply before leaving the house and it lasts longer than anything else I've tried (it does an even better job if when I remember to put it on at night before bed.) I just want a smaller version that can fit into my tiny purse.
Good product but needs better packaging
By Martha G.
This is a good balm and lipstick goes on very smoothly without seeping in the lip lines. The only thing I didn't care for was the jar and makes application a little difficult. I would like to see this in a stick or tube form and how about a balm with added sunscreen protection.
Customer Service Response: The Product Development team has been listening to our customers, and something very similar to what you've described is on its way!
Add me to the list of LOVE IT!!!
By Claire, P
I LOVE THIS STUFF. I've cut down the use of my go to lip gloss by half. This feels great. It doesn't ball up and it lasts for hours. I use it primarily for my lips but after a cleaning spree the skin started cracking on one of my knuckles so on a whim I put this on it. I only had to put it on several times a day for maybe 24 hours and the cracking was gone.
The best
By Danyella
The best lip balm on earth! Have used this for years and nothing compares. Using this every night and you will never have dry lips again. Also great to heal cracked heels and on cuticles and very dry patches. Please never change or get rid of this product. I can't even imagine not having this amazing product! Obsessed!
By Amy H.
This is the best lip balm I've ever used; better than Paula's picks for drugstore buys. Very moisturizing, great for dry climates, and lasts overnight. Works right away, and my lips are now nice and soft. Please make this in a stick form, as well as in the little pot!
SO good!!!
By katie s.
I'm obsessed with this! I used to use Burt's Bees chapstick, but this is my new favorite. It leaves my lips feeling so smooth but not waxy. I love that it doesn't have a smell or taste, lasts all through the night, it just works wonderfully.
By gabriele t.
The best moisturizing lip treatment I've used, most feel to thick but this doesn't feel goopy or heavy and you don't need to apply a lot to feel satisfied. Immediate results. 10/10 .
By Amber H.
This balm helps to keep my lips from becoming painfully dry and chapped. It doesn't have an offending taste or smell, feels very smooth, and not the least bit greasy. Great to use on any dry areas as well. I would love if this was brought out in a stick form so I could use it throughout the day and not have to stick my fingers into a tub.
Sadly, not so good
By IL
I remember reading a review of this product in which the woman writing said the balm made her lips worse, and I remember thinking how odd that was. But alas, it turned out to be true for me, too! Chapped and peeling - and my lips so very rarely peel. Weird! I tried it with the scrub, too. I like the scrub, but not the lip balm. Not so balm-y, as it turns out. PC has pretty great products, on the whole - this was the first that really disappointed me.

The Best!
By Anne F.
I have used this lip balm for years and it is the best. I admit that I am a lip balm adict and have tried many different lip balms, none are as perfect as this one. Recently my husband was complaining about his dry cracked lips and I gave him this balm and in one day he said his lips were back to normal. It would be great if this came in a tube, and also if it had 30 SPF!
Absolutely love this...please make it in a "stick" form!
By Janel S.
I absolutely love this as a treatment for my lips; however, I would like it better if it was in a stick form (similar to how chap stick is packaged). I get kind of grossed out having to put my finger in the jar and therefore only use this at morning and night...I would really love it if I could use it on the go too. Thank you so much for all your products and sharing your wealth of knowledge!
Customer Service Response: Hello, and thanks for your comments! We're always looking at ways to make our products even better, so we'll take it into consideration!

By Lisa B.

For on-line use but not for print publication.
In Re:
BROOKE CORPORATION, et al.,
Chapter 7 Trustee of Brooke
Corporation, Brooke Capital
Corporation, and Brooke Investments,
FIRST CENTRAL BANK, et al.,
(jointly administered)
In this adversary proceeding, the Chapter 7 Trustee for Debtors Brooke
Case 10-06241 Doc# 90 Filed 01/17/12 Page 1 of 11
Corporation, Brooke Capital Corporation ("Brooke Capital"), and Brooke Investments
(collectively "Brooke") seeks to recover allegedly fraudulent transfers and preferential
transfers made by Brooke Capital from defendants who received such transfers as holders
of participation interests in loans made by Aleritas (a non-debtor Brooke-related entity) to
various insurance borrowers/franchisees. Defendant Great American Bank ("GAB")
moves for dismissal or summary judgment1 based upon the allegation that it is not the
former or current owner of the participation interests. For the reasons discussed below,
the Court denies GAB's Motion.
GAB's Motion is presented under Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 7012,
which incorporates Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12.2 GAB moves for dismissal under
subsections 12(b)(2) (lack of personal jurisdiction), (b)(6) (failure to state a claim upon
which relief can be granted), and (b)(7) (failure to join a party under Rule 19). In the
alternative, GAB asserts that it is entitled to summary judgment under Federal Rule of
Bankruptcy Procedure 7056, which incorporates Rule 56.
All of these bases for dismissal rely upon one contention — that because of a sale
of GAB's common stock and related asset transfers, GAB never owned a participation
interest in the loans for which the payments in issue were made, and therefore has no
1 Dkt. 71.
2 A particular rule of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure will be referred to hereafter as Rule
Case 10-06241 Doc# 90 Filed 01/17/12 Page 2 of 11
liability to the Trustee. GAB refers to itself before the stock sale as "Old GAB" and to
itself after the sale as "New GAB." In response, the Trustee asserts that despite these
transactions, GAB is the proper party from whom to seek recovery of the transfers.
The Complaint is against approximately 15 banks, including GAB.3 In the
Complaint, the Trustee alleges as follows. Under the Brooke business model, the cost of
acquisition of Brooke-related insurance agencies by insurance agents and franchisees was
financed by Aleritas, a non-debtor Brooke-related entity. Aleritas then sold participation
interests in these loans to third parties, including GAB. Participation payments were to be
made to the purchasers of the interests by the borrowers/franchisees of the original loans.
But "because these particular Borrowers/Franchisees had significant financial challenges,
they did not generate sufficient commissions to pay the participating lenders."4 And,
"[a]s a result, Brooke Capital subsidized those participation payments . . . with its own
The Trustee seeks to recover these payments made to GAB by Debtor Brooke
Capital under theories of constructive fraudulent conveyances, preferential transfers,
disallowance of proofs of claim, and quantum meruit or unjust enrichment.
3 The Complaint actually names De Soto State Bank, formerly known as Great American Bank,
but GAB bases no argument on this detail.

Case 10-06241 Doc# 90 Filed 01/17/12 Page 3 of 11
GAB seeks dismissal of the Complaint on the basis that because of corporate
restructuring of GAB in 2008, particularly the sale of the stock of GAB and the sale of the
participation interests, it has no liability to the Trustee.
At relevant times prior to June 28, 2008, GAB had its principal office in De Soto,
Kansas, and a branch office in Claycomo, Missouri. All of the common stock of GAB
was owned by Enterprise Financial Services Corporation.
On September 26, 2006, Aleritas sold to GAB participation interests in Loan
Numbers 3884, 4993, 5142, and 5423. In connection with these participation interests,
beginning on October 15, 2006, and ending on July 15, 2007, GAB received monthly
transfers.6 The participation interests sold to GAB in 2006 were repurchased by Aleritas
and closed out on or about July 20, 2007. On April 30, 2008, Aleritas sold to GAB
participation interests in Loan Numbers 5453, 5460, 5465, and 5493. GAB received
monthly transfers in connection with these participation interests beginning on May 15,
2008, and ending on October 15, 2008, shortly before Brooke Corporation filed for relief
under Chapter 11 on October 28, 2008.
6 These payments are evidenced by a schedule provided by the Trustee to GAB and attached as
Exhibit A to GAB's memorandum in support of its Motion. Although neither party includes facts
concerning the dates of the payments in their statement of facts, the payment dates are referenced in the
Trustee's arguments. Dkt. 67 at 10. To the extent that these payments are referenced in the factual
statement presented by the Trustee, GAB does not controvert the fact of the transfers, but responds that
the transfers are irrelevant. The Court disagrees, since it is these payments which the Trustee seeks to
Case 10-06241 Doc# 90 Filed 01/17/12 Page 4 of 11
In a Purchase Agreement dated February 5, 2008 ("Stock Purchase Agreement"),
First Financial Bancshares, Inc., agreed to purchase the stock of GAB from Enterprise
Financial Services Corporation. The closing of the stock sale was conditioned upon the
performance of a Branch Purchase and Assumption Agreement ("Branch Purchase
Agreement") between GAB and Enterprise Bank & Trust ("Enterprise Bank"), whereby
Enterprise Bank purchased the Claycomo branch office and certain Claycomo-related
assets, including the participation interests purchased from Aleritas on April 30, 2008.
The Branch Purchase Agreement, in section 1.02(d), expressly provides that Enterprise
Bank shall not assume any liabilities of seller GAB other than those expressly assumed in
the agreement. The assumed liabilities do not include those associated with the
participation interests. The documentation regarding the participation interests is in the
possession of Enterprise Bank. But the participation certificates do not refer to Enterprise
Bank. And those certificates provide that the purchaser (GAB) may not sell, pledge,
assign, subparticipate, or otherwise transfer its interest without the prior written consent
of the seller.
The Branch Purchase Agreement closed, and on June 26, 2008, in accord with the
Stock Purchase Agreement, First Financial Bancshares became the owner of all of the
stock of GAB. The business entity records of the Kansas Secretary of State dated
September 15, 2011, for GAB show that GAB was formed in 1901 and had previously
been named De Soto State Bank.
Case 10-06241 Doc# 90 Filed 01/17/12 Page 5 of 11
GAB's memorandum in support of its Motion refers to GAB before the June 26,
2008, closing of the stock sale as "Old GAB" and after such date as "New GAB." The
implication is that the two banks are materially different. But this is not correct. The
owner of GAB's stock changed, not the entity itself. GAB was chartered in 1901, not
2008. After the stock transfer, GAB operated under the same charter as before the
transfer. Except for the assets of GAB acquired by Enterprise Bank and the liabilities
expressly assumed by Enterprise Bank, the assets and liabilities of "New GAB" are the
same as those of "Old GAB" prior to the closing of the sale to First Financial Bancshares.
"A transfer of all of a company's stock automatically transfers ownership of all of the
company's underlying assets and liabilities."7
B. GAB IS NOT ENTITLED TO DISMISSAL UNDER RULE 12(b)(2).
Rule 12(b)(2) provides that the defense of lack of personal jurisdiction may be
presented by motion. GAB moves to dismiss on this basis, arguing that this Court lacks
personal jurisdiction over "New GAB" because "New GAB" is not the former or current
owner of the participation interests.
GAB's argument that the Court lacks of jurisdiction because of the change of
ownership of GAB common stock and the transfer of assets is flawed. As examined
7 12 William Meade Fletcher, Fletcher Cyclopedia of the Law of Corps., § 5463 (current through
Sept. 2011) available at Westlaw in database called FLETCHER-CYC.
Case 10-06241 Doc# 90 Filed 01/17/12 Page 6 of 11
above, there is no legal distinction between "Old GAB" and "New GAB." The
contention, if true, that Enterprise Bank purchased the participation interests as of June
26, 2008, is not relevant to personal jurisdiction over GAB. Personal jurisdiction relates
to the Court's power and authority to issue orders and rulings affecting the person, not to
whether the person has liability to the plaintiff or holds the property which gave rise to
the lawsuit.
The Court has jurisdiction over Defendant GAB. A review of the docket shows
that GAB was served by service on De Soto Bank, formerly known as Great American
Bank, by service via regular and certified mail addressed to De Soto Bank fka Great
American Bank, L. Travis Hicks, 33050 West 83rd Street, De Soto, KS, and to De Soto
State Bank fka Great American Bank, 445 E. Hwy. 69, Kansas City, Mo. There is no
contention by GAB that this service was ineffective in any way.8
C. GAB IS NOT ENTITLED TO DISMISSAL UNDER RULE 12(b)(7).
Rule 12(b)(7) allows for dismissal for failure to join a necessary party. It is
applicable when "there is an absent person without whom complete relief cannot be
granted or whose interest in the dispute is such that to proceed in that person's absence
might prejudice that individual or entity or parties already before the court."9
GAB contends that the interests of Enterprise Bank, as "the former and present
8 The Court notes GAB was actually formerly known as De Soto State Bank, not vice versa.
However, GAB has not complained about this discrepancy.
95C Charles Alan Wright and Arthur R. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure: Civil, § 1359 at
64 (3d ed. 2004).
Case 10-06241 Doc# 90 Filed 01/17/12 Page 7 of 11
owner" of the participation interests purchased by GAB in 2008, "will be impaired in its
absence from this case." The Court disagrees. The Trustee is not seeking a judgment
regarding the ownership of the participation interests. The Trustee is seeking recovery of
payments made with respect to the participation agreements using Brooke Capital assets.
D. GAB IS NOT ENTITLED TO DISMISSAL UNDER RULE 12(b)(6), OR
Rule 12(b)(6) provides for dismissal when a complaint fails "to state a claim upon
which relief can be granted." In ruling on a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6), the
Court must assume as true all factual allegations of the complaint, and those factual
allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level.10
Generally, except in limited circumstances, "the sufficiency of a complaint must rest on
its contents alone,"11 and when a court considers material outside the complaint, it should
treat a motion to dismiss as a motion for summary judgment.12 Under the summary
judgment standard, the motion should only be granted where, taking the facts in the light
most favorable to the nonmoving party, there is no genuine issue of material fact and the
moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.13 In this case, many of the facts
relied upon by GAB are outside the pleadings, so the Court will treat the motion as one

13 Fed. R. Civ. P. 56.
Case 10-06241 Doc# 90 Filed 01/17/12 Page 8 of 11
for summary judgment.
GAB's arguments in support of dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6) and for summary
judgment are both predicated upon the same erroneous proposition — that New GAB has
never had an interest in the participation loans and has not received any of the transfers
alleged in the Complaint.14 This argument wrongly assumes that New GAB is different
from Old GAB. As discussed above, there is no such distinction.
Contrary to GAB's arguments, it is uncontroverted that GAB purchased two sets
of participation certificates. It owned those purchased in 2006 until they were retired on
July 20, 2007. GAB purchased a second set of participation interests on April 30, 2008.
It is uncontroverted for purposes of the Motion that GAB received payments with respect
to both sets of participation interests.
Since the Trustee is seeking to recover the payments received by GAB, the
ownership of the participation interests is not central to this litigation.15 However, since
GAB predicates much of its argument upon the alleged transfer of ownership, the Court
pauses to discuss the controversy about ownership, which would preclude summary
judgment in favor of GAB if the defense were applicable. GAB and the Trustee disagree
about whether GAB owns the participation interests purchased in 2008. As a result of the

(Bankr. D. Kan. Dec. 19, 2011) (holding that, assuming the Trustee could avoid transfers to holders of
participation interests as preferential, the holder of a certificate of participation who did not receive the
payments and acquired the certificate after the allegedly preferential payments were made has no liability
to the Trustee under 11 U.S.C. §550(a)(1)).
Case 10-06241 Doc# 90 Filed 01/17/12 Page 9 of 11
Branch Purchase Agreement, GAB contends that Enterprise Bank is the current owner of
the participation interests. But the Trustee controverts this position, relying on the facts
that the participation certificates show GAB as the owner and that Enterprise Bank is not
mentioned in any of the certificates. The Court also notes the participation certificates
provide that the purchaser (GAB) may not sell, pledge, assign, subparticipate, or
otherwise transfer its interest without the prior written consent of the seller. There is no
evidence of such consent. The Trustee contends that the evidence relied upon by GAB
establishes only that Enterprise Bank is in possession of the documentation relating to the
participation interests.
The Court rejects GAB's implicit position that as a matter of corporate law,
Enterprise Bank, rather than GAB, has liability for the transfers. Except for the assets of
GAB acquired and the liabilities of GAB expressly assumed by Enterprise Bank under the
Branch Purchase Agreement, the assets and liabilities of GAB after the stock sale and the
branch sale are the same as those of GAB immediately prior to the closing of the
transactions. As previously stated, "[a] transfer of all of a company's stock automatically
transfers ownership of all of the company's underlying assets and liabilities."16 The
Branch Purchase Agreement provides that Enterprise Bank assumed liabilities for
deposits, certain contracts, a penalty under a data processing agreement, and certain
retirement accounts. All other liabilities of the seller (GAB), "whether known or

unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, contingent or otherwise, which have arisen or may
arise or be established in connection" with the operation of the Claycomo branch of GAB
prior to closing were expressly not assumed by Enterprise Bank. Enterprise Bank did not
agree to be liable for GAB's obligations arising from its acquisition of the participation
GAB summarizes it Motion under Rules 12(b)(6) and 56 by stating it "relates to
whether New GAB owns the Participation Loans that are the subject of this Adversary
Proceeding."17 The short response is that the allegations of the Complaint relate to
recovery of payments made to purchasers of participation certificates. Dismissal cannot
be based upon the question of ownership. The Motion for summary judgment is denied.
GAB's Motion to dismiss or for summary judgment is denied. The Court has
jurisdiction over GAB, the Complaint is not subject to dismissal for failure to join
Enterprise Bank, and GAB is not entitled to summary judgment. GAB's theories of
dismissal are flawed. Even if the theories were correct, factual controversies concerning
the attempted transfer of the ownership of the participation interests to Enterprise Bank
would preclude summary judgment.

about me
I'm a musician, but mostly I work in PR and publicity for musicians and individual projects. I'm basically an independent contractor which means that I work a lot but everyday is an adventure. I like meeting new people and bringing people together for fun events. In particular, when there are live performances involved. I'm also a writer and that means I like to explore all kinds of topics. I love to travel and I enjoy hanging around people who live the life they said they wanted to live.

The AOpen AX45-4D Max will be the first motherboard which will ship with the SiS 655/963 chipset that allows Dual-Channel operation similar to Intel's Granite Bay chipset.
What is Dual Channel? You might be wondering what kind of enhancement would this new technology do to your system, right? Simply put, we used to have 64-bit memory bandwidth for memory access. No matter how many memory modules have been installed, though capacity added, the speed of access remains the same! From now on, with 128-bit dual channel introduced, it doubles the memory bandwidth up to 5.4GB in advanced 128-bit mode!More information @ AOpen

From Grand Theft Wiki
The Liberty City Cocks is a football (soccer) team based in Liberty City. The team plays at the Liberty Memorial Coliseum (also known as Bush Stadium) on Staunton Island. Many Cocks fans can be seen walking aroung the Bush Stadium and some can even be heard asking others if they are a fan of the Beavers.
They are fierce rivals of the Liberty City Beavers, with the two known meetings. On The Tight End Zone, a program on West Coast Talk Radio, Derrick Thackery mentions a match between the two. The second occurs in September 2001, with the Cocks beating the Beavers 3-0. [1] The only known player is Ma'am, who scored all three goals to win. [1]
- An outfit named as the Cox Mascot Outfit can be rewarded to the player in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories after the completion of Slash TV. This suggests that the term Cox is either a colloquial term for the team or the name of their mascot.
- Bush Stadium is similar to Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon (though the stadium is much more similar to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum). The civil rivalry between fans of the Cocks and Beavers is similar to the civil rivarly of University of Oregon Ducks (Liberty City Cocks) and the Oregon State Universty Beavers (Liberty City Beavers).
- The team still exists in the GTA IV Era, as one of their players, Traci Wilson, is referenced.
The Cox Mascot Costume rewarded to Toni Cipriani.

because i can never find the perfect words to describe what i want to say.
because i can never figure out what emotion actually makes my heart go nuts
and beat against the cage.
because i'm tired of dedicating phrases, thoughts, words, lyrics, songs,
and other mumbo jumbo to anyone and everyone that passes my way.
i'll always be that same ol' girl. waiting.
yeah. that's right. just waiting.
and no matter how many times i tell myself i won't let me do that to me anymore
i let me down and me falls down and me breaks down once more.
because i was waiting.
for what? who fucking knows.
and sometimes i just want to understand why i do things the way i do.
and sometimes i wonder why i wonder, wish, and think so much like i do.
and sometimes i hate the things i do.
don't you?

There is a misleading caricature of Affirmative Action (hereinafter referred to as "AA") which is frequently espoused by GOP officials and that caricature is amplified by the media poodles who adore and enable them. As the caricature goes, supporters of "AA" (i. e. Democrats) are so enthrall to the notion of racial diversity that they are willing to promote it at the expense of rewarding merit. According to these dishonest detractors, supporters of "AA" simply want to increase the number of minority participants included or admitted to a program or institution and that this policy is completely unconcerned with either qualifications or merit. That is why you frequently hear "AA" described by its ideological opponents as a quota system. The argument is primarily waged over college and graduate school admissions and it suggest that supporters of "AA" would willingly deprive a higher, achieving white applicant by granting admission to a less qualified person of color, simply because he or she is a person of color. They actually make this bogus argument with a straight (a-historical) face! In a rare moment of intellectual consistency, the political party WITH NO BLACKS MEMBERS IN EITHER HOUSE OF CONGRESS has determined that racial diversity, in the world's most racially diverse society, isn't an important value. As a result of their "facts notwithstanding" and hypocrisy laden repudiation of "AA", the Republican Party has decided that the concept of merit, as subjectively defined by their racially homogenous party, is both the proper way to define that elusive term and that their antiquated definition far outweighs any value associated with racial diversity.
Here, in one of those rare instances where Republicans are intellectually consistent, they are also purposefully misleading. You can't on the one hand argue that school admissions or employment hiring/promotions policies should strictly adhere to the subjective notion of merit favored by Republicans, while at the same time promoting a totally unqualified candidate for Vice President of the United States! In 2008, our nation was confronted by 2 foreign wars, a well founded fear of terrorism, and a looming financial crisis of epic proportions. The notion that a political party that dishonestly attacks "AA" as an affront to the concept of merit would simultaneously promote Sara Palin as an aged (McCain was the oldest Presidential candidate in U.S. history), 3 time cancer survivor's running mate for our nation's highest office is simply breathtaking in both its absurdity and its hypocrisy!
While Sara Palin is very popular with a small, ultra conservative and racially homogenous segment of the American people www.examiner.com/x-21075-Baltimore-Liberal-Examiner~y2009m10d11-USA-USA-Oylmpic-edition, her limited comprehension of issues both foreign and domestic place her easily within the boundaries of the most extreme version of the GOP's caricature of "AA". When her inability to grasp basic political facts, her breathtaking historical ignorance and her intentionally divisive rhetoric are taken into consideration http://trueslant.com/matttaibbi/2009/11/20/sarah-palin-wwe-star/, the notion that she would be promoted as a national leader is simply unfathomable. At a time when our nation (and the world) was in such a precarious position, the Republican Party's unifying behind her candidacy clearly demonstrated their complete lack of a serious governing philosophy, their continued embrace of policies and politicians who polarize the American people and the total hypocrisy inherent in their opposition to "AA"!
Are we really to believe that who gets into what college or is admitted to what law school (there are no "AA" Bar Exams) is more important then who our national leaders are? There is a statistical likelihood that a 73 year old, 3 time cancer survivor (Senator McCain) would not have survived a full Presidential term and if he was unable to complete said term (death or illness) Sara Palin, the right wing and extremely polarizing, half term Governor of Alaska (she quit her elected job) and a woman of clearly limited intellect (she's intellectually challenged) and zero intellectual curiosity (she's content to be intellectually challenged) would have become the President of the United States! She has even gone so far as to suggest that she has a foreign policy advantage over her opponents because she can see Russia from her house! Are these people serious?
All that being said, when one considers the Balkanizing language and intellectual perversity embraced by the Beck/Limbaugh/Fox News/Tea Bag wing of their party's supporters, in conjunction with the self-serving and anti Democratic practices they consistently display in Congress, it seems pretty clear that Republicans actually do embrace their own unique brand of diversity. As Republicans give a big wet enabling kiss to any group or movement they think improves their electoral chances (Tea Baggers), they have also revealed the concept of diversity which they support. Unfortunately for the American people, the diversity Republicans have embraced isn't racial, ethnic, religious, ideological or regional. While Democrats have opted to create a big tent where diverse groups can coalesce and voice their considered opinions on important matters of public policy, Republicans, seemingly disinterested in public policy and considered opinions, have broadened their party by uniting both their fact or knowledge based supporters and those who believe or disbelieve things "facts notwithstanding" (also known as the stupid)! Now that's diversity!

Ripa was relatively late to the fitness game, having ignored the gym during her twenties. The first person to comment on her new muscle tone? Her TV co-host, Regis Philbin. That's all it took to make fitness a habit, she said.
This singer/designer/mom (with hubby Gavin Rossdale and their older son, Kingston) has always been comfortable in a bikini; she has rocked one frequently while onstage with band No Doubt.
The star, shown here shooting her series Cougar Town, reportedly turned down the offer of a body double. "It was important to show the real side of being 40," she said. "But I was also lit very well. Don't mistake Hollywood lighting for reality!"
Years after stealing the scene as a Bond babe, Berry's still got it going on.
The Sex and the City star confessed that she found donning a bikini for the cover of Fitness "intimidating." But she's happy with her body (and why shouldn't she be?!). "I have hips!" she told the magazine. "I'm never going to be the thinnest actress, and I don't want to be. When you're at peace with yourself and your body, you're automatically more confident."
Even without a bronzed complexion, Moore knows how to look hot in a little black bikini.
"I do hatha yoga three or four times a week," Aniston said of her famously fit figure. " If my body is strong it keeps me able to sleep better, function in the day better and I can do my job better. It's been wonderful for me."
Even Nintendo has taken note of this celeb's enviable bod, creating the Your Shape Featuring Jenny McCarthy fitness game.
How do we know Sheryl Crow won't find herself out of shape any time soon? Her adopted son, Levi, provides lots of opportunities for jogging with a stroller, an exercise she also tried with Wyatt, now five.
Competing in a triathlon (which she did in September 2009 and again in 2010, raising money for Children's Hospital Los Angeles) was one of the items on Hatcher's "bucket list," she said.
Pinkett Smith confessed to tiring of the gym after 15 years, preferring yoga classes at home with her family to curls and treadmills.
The once and future Pretty Woman favors a green lifestyle—and swimsuit.
Now that Edie's been killed off on Desperate Housewives, Sheridan has time to show off her killer bod.
The woman who put the super in supermodel hasn't lost her touch.
The sassiest Sex and the City star does Samantha proud in a stylish high-waisted cut.
Full Disclosure: A Flawless body like this is likely to result in more than one Indecent Proposal from A Few Good Men.
Not only did she look amazing on the cover of People after losing 50 pounds, but this star managed to keep it off. She looks hotter than ever now in her new role on Hot on Cleveland.
The Private Practice star went public during a Maui getaway.
Queen Elizabeth never looked like this.
How does Rinna, who recently posed for Playboy, stay in shape? "I'm a big fan of the stripper pole. It changed my life," she said.
The Emmy-winning actress rocks a basic black number.
The Aussie who was dubbed "The Body" shows that some nicknames never get old.

Available for Adoption:
2 Years
Golden/Shepherd MIx
Pet ID Number: C26842
How to adopt
All pets over 12 weeks are spayed or neutered.
We give a free spay/neuter certificate to those adopting kittens or puppies.
| Oliver is a very calm, quiet boy with soft, silky hair. Very pretty pup.
Sadly, he was removed from a hoarding situation and ended up in a kill shelter, where he sadly awaited his fate until someone told us about him and we were able to get him the day that was scheduled to be his last.
Now he wants a forever home, with people who will love him. He is great with other dogs, but would probably be best without cats.
$80.00 adoption fee.

SASSETA Fire-Arm Article
Fire Arms
The Firearms Control Act 60 of 2000 (FCA): Purpose and Implications
SASSETAs Role
The Firearms Control Act 60 of 2000 (FCA): Purpose and Implications
RPL is an integral part of the skills development process as it is the ideal tool to assess competence and pave the way to training interventions that lead to qualifications.
In the first four years of the new South Africa, 2,5 million South Africans were given permission to own about 4,2 million firearms. Between 1994 and 1998 the number of murders committed with firearms rose from 42% to 49%. The number of illegal firearms is unknown, but the South African Police Service recovered more than 14 000 in 2003. The FCA was approved by cabinet on 2 April 2003 to replace the outdated Arms and Ammunition Act 75 of 1969.
The FCAs stated purpose is to:
- Enhance the constitutional rights to life and bodily integrity
Prevent the proliferation of illegally possessed firearms and, by providing for the removal of those firearms from society and by improving control over legally possessed firearms, to prevent crime involving the use of firearms
Enable the state to remove illegal firearms from society, to control the supply, possession, safe storage, transfer and use of firearms and to detect and punish the negligent or criminal use of firearms
Establish a comprehensive and effective system of firearm control and management
ensure the efficient monitoring and enforcement of legislation pertaining to the control of firearms
The Challenge
When assessing, the challenge the FCA would present, SASSETA sketched the following scenario:
From 2005 to 2008, the firearms legislation requires existing firearm owners to renew their firearm licences. There are an estimated 2,5 million licensed firearm owners in the country.
They will need to renew their licences according to their birth months, matched to a specific year. So, those born in January, February and March must renew in 2005, those born in April, May and June in 2006, and so on.

I have a fresh install of the Developer Workplace with MaxDB.
The only user I can login with sqlcli, dbmcli or SQL Studio is SUPERDBA.
I can see the table content of SUPERDBA.* tables, but if I try to show the content of SAP="HSL"):
Auto Commit: On, SQL Mode: Internal, Isolation Level: Committed
Base table not found;-4004 POS(16) Unknown table name:BC_JMSQUEUE.
In sqlcli with
I get:
-4004: POS(15) Unknown table name:ZIAP_GL_PARAM SQLSTATE: 42000
dt SAPHSLDB.%
shows exactly this table name.
I tried to change the password of user SAPDB.* tables as SUPERDBA or to log in as an user who can access those?
Hello Hans-Peter,
the tables belong to the SAPHLSDB user and are only granted to this user by default (and intention). The SUPERDBA may see the existence of these tables in the system views (which are queried by the builtin-commands of sqlcli), but has no right to select data from them nor modify or delete data from these tables.
Use the SAPHLSDB user to access these tables (hint: the password should be
the one you have specified in the Netweaver Installation). Changing the password of the user (by using an ALTER USER command, for instance) may do much harm, as then the login information stored in the the application server's secure store might no longer be valid ...
Thank you for your answer.
I understand that it is intentional that SUPERDBA doesn´t see all tables. I still don´t get why I can´t see the SAPDB. No idea why it didn´t work so much times before. I even had to enter my PW in cleartext to login with sqlcli before, so I know I always entered the same password.

Post-war anti-Japanese sentiments are still running high, and a murder suspect is found in the local Japanese-American community in the form of Kabuo, another fisherman, who had a grudge against Carl's family. Ishmael, the small town's newspaperman, may have the information that would acquit Kabuo, but can he ever put his jilted love for Hatsue (Kazuo's wife) aside?- Written by Martin Lewison <email@example.com>

Fat is a divisive issue, and our current attitude to dietary fat is very much linked to medical and media opinion, which relegates all fat to the 'bad for you' list – regardless of where it comes from or how much of it you consume.
That's a very simplistic and unhelpful view, though. Fat is a necessary part of our diet and is an essential part, in the form of lipids, of every single cell in your body – each one is contained by a membrane that's made of proteins and lipids. So, without fat, your cells (and you) would just be a puddle of chemicals on the floor.
The confusion comes from the huge rise in heart disease in developed countries, and the championing of an oversimplified approach to fat by the press. There is a strong correlation between heart disease and over consumption of saturated and trans fats (unsaturated fat with trans-isomer fatty acids), but this has sparked a belief that all fat is bad for you.
Even singling out these fats as a cause of disease may be flawed. The Fulani people of northern Nigeria have a diet that's extremely high in saturated fat (around 25 percent), yet the results of a 2001 study showed they had a low risk of cardiovascular disease – probably due to their active lifestyle and low total energy intake. So it's not saturated and trans fats per se that can lead to disease, but over consumption and over sufficiency of these fats when paired with other energy sources. As always, moderation is the key.
Most of the confusion over fat comes from not knowing how fats are used by the body. Here we look at the different types of fat and their functions.
What is saturated fat?
Saturated fat is the bogey man of the fat family, and not without reason: as we've already mentioned, its consumption is linked to hardening of the arteries and heart disease. It's mainly found in animal products (dairy and meat) and is generally solid at room temperature. If you follow a sensible diet with minimal processed food there should be no reason to cut out saturated fat altogether — in fact it's better to eat butter, for example, than a trans fat laden substitute, as long as it's in moderation.
What is monunsaturated fat?
Mainly found in nuts and seeds and their oils, monunsaturated fat is known to lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol. Its ability to raise HDL ("good") cholesterol is still under debate, as is its place in the progression of certain diseases. Oleic acid, for instance, may boost memory and reduce blood pressure, but is also associated with increased risk of breast cancer. Again, balance is the key.
What is trans fat?
This is the really dangerous character in the fats family. Trans fat occur when monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fat is hydrogenated (the addition of hydrogenmolecules) for a longer shelf life; trans fats are a side effect of incomplete hydrogenation. The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in the US stated in 2002 that "trans fatty acids are not essential and provide no known benefit to human health", and that they raise levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and lower levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol. Foods to avoid? Cakes, biscuits, most chocolate and processed food in general, but particularly fast food.
What is polyunsaturated fat?
This is found mainly in grains, fish and seafood, and the family includes the Omega 3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) ALA, EPA and DHA, and linoleic acid, the key Omega 6 fatty acid. These are called "essential" because, unlike other fats, they cannot be made in the body. Some people try to boost their EFA levels with oil supplements, but recent research has suggested that EFAs from plant sources (ie. evening primrose oil) are not as bioavailable as those from fish sources.

Well, we all think our children are unique, creative and talented, but Alexis Martin's parents really have reason to boast. Their daughter's IQ is so high, experts aren't even sure what it is. They do know that it's well above the norm as this toddler, who reads at a fifth-grade level, has an IQ over 160. The average IQ tends to be in the 100 range. In fact, Alexis' IQ is so high, she is Arizona's youngest member in Mensa. You must have an IQ above 140 to be admitted. Some even wonder if little Alexis may end up being one of the world's most brilliant minds.
Her parents knew she was special when between the ages of 12 and 18 months, she started reciting her bedtime stories verbatim. Forget about Nick Jr., folks, this baby was reciting chapter books back to mom and dad. Ian Martin, Alexis' proud father, spoke of his daughter's incredible memory. "Anytime she learns a word and just picks up the word through anything, she never ever uses it in the incorrect context, ever." He stated.
Alexis' mother, Jackie Martin, is also amazed by her daughter's abilities. She spoke of how Alexis taught herself Spanish by using an app. "Now she can read and translate and correct us on Spanish,"
You may see a video report about Alexis Martin and her amazing abilities in the video player above. What do you think? Is Alexis the smartest child in the world?

New Rapper Eminem Releases Not Afraid Music Video
There is a new dangerous rapper out there and he called himself Eminem, just like the candies. There is nothing sweet about this now mongrels lifestyle of decadent sin, as he fashions himself after the black influence of the ghetto all in efforts to entice our youth to live a demented lifestyle of drugs, physical violence, gang violence and urban clothing.
This new video by this white man who sings a black man's music is entitled 'Not Afraid'. In the video, it opens with this Eminem sporting vintage African-American clothing and standing atop a tall skyscraper. He claims, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid even though the Bible warns us all:
19:14 "'Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but fear your God. I am the Lord.
25:17 Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the Lord your God.
6:13 Fear the Lord your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name.
God writes more and more lyrics like this in the Bible. You can read them anytime you like and if you do not have a Bible, write into the Holymailbox and I will send you an autographed version for free.
That said, Eminem is a sinner and this new "Not Afraid" music video symbolizes all that is wrong with America. Youth today have no respect for law and do not fear the eternal flames of hell, where they will burn for all time for listening to rap music. Eminem is the harbringer of theri doom.

Excerpt from Chapter on Care and Cleaning Chimney Cleaning The best time for cleaning chimneys is in the fall; by then the creosote has dried and become more brittle. But if you burn much green or softwood chimney inspections should be more frequent; a clogged chimney is like playing with fire. The simplest way to clean a chimney is to hire a chimney sweep or call the fire department (it may provide that service). But with a little more effort you can do it yourself. One of the least complicated ways is to drop a logging chain into the chimney and wiggle and scrape it all around the sides. You also can bunch up a chain tie a rope around it and drop the bundle to scrape the chimney sides. Another method is to tie a weighted bag of straw to a long rope and run it up and down the shaft. Others attach two long ropes to either end of a spruce bough or small evergreen. One of the ropes is dropped into the chimney and is caught by a helper through the cleanout opening. The tree is then pulled back and forth producing the same story sort of action as a bottle brush. If a chimney attached to a fireplace is being cleaned first be sure to seal off the hearth to prevent clouds of black soot from descending into the room.

As a native Spanish and Galician speaker I have trouble with english from time to time. It gets worse with slang (and with my age ;-) ).
I've been speaking english for quite a long time now (more than 15 years: I'm getting old); but anyway I get stuck with english from time to time.
As I like Swing decided that Swinger was a good nickname for blogging.
Now I happened to do some more research at Google and found the definition not to be as good as expected.
Well, I think it's quite funny. Isn't it? :-D

Mitch Henderson to Visit Washington, D.C. with Coaches Versus Cancer
Princeton men's basketball head coach Mitch Henderson will go to the nation's capital to participate in the Leadership Summit and Lobby Day on September 10.
Coordinated by the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, Henderson and other college basketball coaches will join 600 cancer advocates for a rally that morning before the advocates head to Capitol Hill to meet with their lawmakers.
The event is the latest in a series in which Henderson has taken part on behalf of Coaches Versus Cancer. Only a few weeks after he was hired at Princeton in the spring of 2011, Henderson went with some of his coaching colleagues to Yankee Stadium and the NASDAQ exchange for Coaches Versus Cancer appearances. He returned for an appearance at the stock exchange in January, and he spoke at an American Cancer Society event closer to home in Plainsboro to promote the organization's CPS-3 project to determine the risks that lead to cancer.
Henderson will begin his third season leading the Princeton men's basketball program this fall. To visit the American Cancer Society's Web site, click here.

The summer months leave most parents feeling a little bit anxious. What to do with a kid that now has free time? Some special needs students will have access to programs at their local school over the summer as part of their Individualized Education Plan (IEP), but not all will find their local school's summer program beneficial. What's a parent to do? Perhaps it is time to consider an appropriate summer camp and all that it has to offer.
Not all camps are equal, of course, but providing a student with an opportunity for growth outside of his or her normal learning environment may be a fantastic way to try new ways of learning, get exposure to new environments, and perhaps even discover a better way to learn. It is through new experiences that a child can develop a better understand of how he or she learns. It is okay if the best way to learn science for you child changes from enjoying nature videos to actually yearning to go outside and touch the trees. It is also okay if a child tries to get involved with more hands on stuff at a summer camp setting and come away from it feeling like nothing really clicked. Not every activity is going to be an instant success, but providing ways to learn and grow comes with that risk.
Learning and growing does not necessarily mean that the child has to be sent away from his or her family. If a traditional style summer camp away from home does not sit well with you, consider creating your own outdoor camp experience. Go for a nature walk, learn about native plants, or design an entire week around the aspects of the outside world your child would love to learn more about. After all, having some extra time to do unique, student driven stuff like this is one of the best parts about summer.

First, I'm using white embossing then coloring in with our new alcohol markers.
And, an old favorite is using Versamark around my outside edge of my Artwork and then adding embossing powder and heating for a random, interesting border.

Rocks in the Belly
Genre: Popular Fiction
Publisher: Serpent's Tail
Publication Date: 23/02/2012
Sarah Chapman 21 February 2012 - 11:11am
Rocks in the Belly is a dark and unsettling debut from Jon Bauer.
A story of grief, jealousy and redemption, the story is narrated by the same character at two different ages: eight and 28. We never learn his name, but as an adult he goes by Michael, the name of a younger brother who died only a day old. The narrator is the only surviving biological child of a couple who fostered a long line of boys whom he greatly resents, although none as much as Robert who arrives when the narrator is eight.
Robert quickly becomes close to his foster mother who, in turn, seems to her young son to value her new foster child far more than him. Robert is a little older and this age difference means he gets privileges that add to the feelings of disparity and injustice that build within the boy, until they come to a climax one sunny afternoon…
Twenty years later the boy returns home a man, to take care of his mother who is suffering from a brain tumour. He struggles with both guilt and frustration as he attempts to communicate with the woman who he feels failed him as a child, but whose love he always craved. She is locked in her mind apart from rare moments of lucidity. One of these comes when her son admits something that she had always suspected, and in that small moment, there is a feeling of redemption for the tortured soul of the small boy who is still trapped within the grown man.
Bauer writes fluently and the novel is compelling despite its bleakness. The portions narrated by the young boy are mostly convincing, but the book is not an easy read. There are moments of animal cruelty and some passages with the man and his ill mother are particularly difficult to get through. However, it is a well-told tale of a family who never understood each other until it was too late.

IRVINE, Calif. – Fourth-ranked Stanford men's water polo was all business Saturday at the UCI Invitational, advancing to Sunday's semifinal round with convincing victories over No. 14 UC Davis and No. 5 California.
The Cardinal (10-2) opened the day with an 18-7 win over the Aggies before pulling away for a 14-8 win over the Golden Bears in the late afternoon. Stanford will face No. 1 UCLA at 10:50 a.m. tomorrow at UCI's Anteater Aquatic Complex.
Bret Bonanni and BJ Churnside scored four goals apiece in the win over California, while Conner Cleary added a hat trick. In the cage, Drew Holland went the distance and made six saves.
Forrest Watkins opened the game with a goal just 57 seconds in, and after California's Aleksa Saponjic evened it up Churnside and Nick Hoversten scored two straight in the period's final minutes to make it 3-1 Cardinal. The run got to 4-0 thanks to goals from Cleary and Churnside to open the second frame, and Cleary answered California's second by scoring three seconds before the half to make it 6-2.
Saponjic scored to open the second half, cutting the Cardinal lead to 6-3, but Stanford stamped out the threat for good by going on a 3-0 run behind goals Rudolph, Churnside and Bonanni to make it 9-3 with 3:19 left in the third period.
California managed to pull within four goals on two occasions but each time the Cardinal answered, essentially putting the game on ice with two straight goals from Bonanni and Churnside to make it 12-6 with 5:36 to play.
In the morning, Stanford took control early, scoring six goals in the opening period for a 6-1 lead. Alex Bowen, Churnside and Connor Stapleton opened the game with goals to give the Cardinal a 3-0 lead, and three more goals from Griffin Bolan, Adam Abdulhamid and Reid Chase sandwiched a score from Davis' Alex Bagdasarian.
Stapleton and Bonanni scored to open the second period, making it an 8-1 game, and after UC Davis scored its second Bolan and Jackson Kimbell scored to up the lead to 10-2.
The lead got all the way to 17-4 by the end of the third period, and Bolan finished the fourth period with the Cardinal's final goal.
Kimbell scored four times to lead the Cardinal while Stapleton, Bolan and Bowen netted three goals apiece. Abdulhamid scored twice and Bonanni, Chase and Churnside each added a goal.
In goal, Drew Holland started and played the opening period before Scott Platshon came on and handled the final three periods.
