Ordering Wine
Somebody has to take control of ordering the wine in a restaurant, but that person should not necessarily select the wine single-handed.
If you are hosting a gathering, it is perfectly acceptable to take control of the wine list, but defer to anyone who demonstrates an intimate knowledge of the cellar.
When dining à deux, share the responsibility and make the selection a talking point and choose together. Many restaurants helpfully provide descriptions and suggested food pairings. Asking the sommelier for advice is better than pretending you know more than you do and ordering something that isn't suited to what you are eating.
Ordering by the glass can solve the problem of seriously diverging tastes or irreconcilable dinner choices, but it's less convivial and certainly more expensive.

A well-respected comedian, the type who makes fun of life's everyday encounters, recently posted a link to photos of toddlers crying. Needless to say, there were captions on each photo intending to add definition and humor to the situation. To many parents, the photos were relatable thus creating humor where there truly is none in the eyes of the crying child.
What is striking about this post, however, are not simply the photos, but the comments from the readers. In this day and age of social media, everyone is a writer and psychologist, often to the amusement of those who take the time to read such comments. But this time, there may be some truth to the madness.
While each child is crying, there is presumably an adult taking the photo. Said adult is not, however, comforting the child in any way. Thus, it is fair to ask, what are we teaching children about adapting in challenging situations and about compassion and communication?
There are moments when it is nearly impossible to contain laughter when a child says or does something. And laughter doesn't scar a child for life, but it does inhibit his ability to learn from the moment. It does set the precedent that emotional outbursts are for entertainment purposes and not worthy of validation.
Waldorf teacher and mother Sydney Steiner posted an excellent response to this phenomenon in her blog Learning Motherhood. She wisely points out that laughing about something your child has done – after the child is fast asleep, or years later when recalling memories – is acceptable, but laughing at a child while in a stressful moment is not conducive to the emotional growth of the child.
For a helpful mantra and steps to reacting appropriately to an upset child, follow parents.com's 4 Rs:
1. React
2. Relate
3. Rephrase
4. Reward
It's a parent's responsibility to teach children so many things, and perhaps the most important among them is a strong emotional skills set. How an adult copes with a child's emotional stress sets an example for how that child will communicate his or her frustrations in future situations.

The second set of twelve "America's Got Talent" acts performed Tuesday night live for all of America (and the votes), leaving the finalists almost 24 hours to nervously and anxiously wait to hear the voting results. But by 10 p.m. on the East Coast, there were five more acts headed into the Semifinals, seven more acts eliminated from the competition and a shot at that one million dollar prize. So who got the votes they needed? Who got eliminated? And who did the judges send through?
Reality Rewind noted in its recap of the eliminations results on Aug. 6 that some of the acts this year seem questionable, especially finalists like Juan Carlos, the dancing skater. But there always seems to be at least one Juan Carlos in the bunch every season, sometimes two or three. They're like the Sanjaya Malakars of "America's Got Talent." (Sanjaya Malakar, for those not in the know, was an "American Idol" finalist that kept getting enough votes to stay in the competition during Season 6 even though he obviously wasn't very vocally talented. He was finally voted off the show in seventh position. His name became synonymous with contestants that rise far beyond level where they should have been eliminated.)
The show started with host Nick Cannon, who had looked the walking fashion plate Tuesday night, stepping out on stage in godawful sparkly shoes and a jacket that looked as if it was designed from material used to make sofa cushions. So, to get everything going in the right direction, he introduced the four judges -- Howard Stern, Mel B., Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel. Only Judge Howie was dressed exactly like Nick Cannon. And if you thought the host looked ridiculous, the judge looked no better.
But soon the show actually got started -- after watching a recap of the previous night's performances, getting reactions and comments from the finalists, going to the lounge and then to the Reddi Wip After Party Room. Nick also talked with Lindsey Stirling, the violin virtuoso from Season 5 of "America's Got Talent," who got eliminated on basically the same show, the second round of the Quarterfinals, back in Season 5. She told the finalists that eliminated or not, "America's Got Talent" launched her career. (She's now an internationally successful recording artist.) Then the elimination results started...
The first group of three -- dance troupe Hart Dance Team, comedian Darik Santos, and hand balancer Andrey Moraru -- only had one act advancing. And if one were to base an opinion solely on the "America's Got Talent" judges' critiques on Tuesday, Andrey Moraru would be the one
And he was.
The results continued with a group of two, singer Jaycob Curlee and dancing skater Juan Carlos, with only one going to the Semifinals. And if there was any doubt as to which of the two would get through, Jaycob Curlee's name being called sealed it. But Jaycob, the boy that America adopted after his audition (he and his sister were adopted when he was eight years old), had something to say to the judges panel (but not to Judge Howie, who gave him props Tuesday night). He thanked America for the votes and declared he would only be singing for America now. (And many have to be glad that he wasn't one of the two acts that the judges would get to decide upon.)
Then there was the third group: Visual aerial act Aerial Animation and rope-trick cowboy Loop Rawlins. It is artsy verses folksy and artsy wins out. Aerial Animation had made it through.
Time for a musical interlude. No. Wait. It's time for Judge Howie Mandel to get into disguise and try to sell tickets to the live show. After holding a woman's tongue, throwing water in the face of a man, having another man take off his shirt, and literally getting still another man to dance for tickets, the comedian had a blast harrassing ticket-buyers. Host Nick Cannon made the comment that people seemed willing to do just about anything, to which Judge Howie noted reflected on the popularity of the show.
Then it was time for a musical interlude. Lindsey Stirling performed "Shatter Me," the title track to her second album which features Lzzy Hale (of Halestorm) on vocals. The song's all power and Hale's voice has a power of its own. Stirling was a whirling dervish with a violin. The audience roared.
After the break, the fourth group -- magician Mat Franco and musical group Lizzy, Matt, & Sammy -- stepped up. Since Radio City Music Hall swallowed up the folk indie sounds of the trio and Franco performed a couple of really good magic tricks, the results appeared obvious.
They were and Mat Franco advanced.
And then there were only three acts left on stage -- operatic duo Acte II, 11-year-old singer Mara Justine, and salsa duo John and Andrew. Nick quickly sent John and Andrew packing, leaving the singing acts on stage for the judges to decide who to allow to move forward. Mara Justine was a mess, crying her eyes out. But when it came time to talk to the judges, Acte II broke down. But a hearwarming speech about chasing your dreams followed and you felt for the women.
Still, it was not to be. With time ticking down toward the show's ending, Judges Heidi, Mel B., and Howard voted for Mara Justine to go through, rendering Judge Howie Mandel's vote moot. By the time it was over, Mara Justine was sobbing again.
"America's Got Talent" airs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on NBC Television. Next week, twelve more acts try to get their names into the five slots reserved for the Semifinals.

Come up for culture night on Mauna Kea this Saturday, January 18, at 6:00 pm, for an evening of Hawaiian music, chants, stories and science. Then, join the star party at the Onizuka Center lanai for some of the best star gazing in the world, and a guided Star Tour of Hawaiian constellations.
All cultures which can see the night sky tell stories of the stars. The Greeks of ancient times peopled the sky with gods and goddesses, archers, serpents, carts, scorpions, dogs, and bears. Distinctive stars and star groups were used to navigate the land and sea.
The Polynesian explorers who navigated the Pacific Ocean also used the stars as navigational aids. Bears were unknown to them, but they knew the wing shapes and habits of birds. The sea, sand, and rugged cliffs were not amenable to the wheel, so the arts of their inventors were used in crafting canoes, not carts. Chairs were unknown, scorpions had not yet found a way to Hawai`i, but fish hooks were cherished and where a man went, his best fish hooks went, too. No cows or goats provided buckets of milk, but fish swam in the ocean. And so, rather than seeing carts, queens on thrones, rampaging bulls, and spills of milk, they saw flying and perching birds, a great fish leaping from the sea, and a giant hook to catch it.
In this age, we tend to think of the stories associated with these celestial images as fables and tales to amuse children. But at one time, they were as important to an adult as a college education is to us today. In an oral tradition, the images spilling across the dome of the night sky illustrated texts on sailing, meteorology, history, agriculture, and aquaculture. The sky was a navigational chart for the sailor, an almanac for the farmer, and a calendar for all.
One feature of Hawaiian astronomy which often drives students to distraction is the many different names for one astronomical body or constellation. Seemingly confusing, this feature actually adds a great deal of precision to the field.
The Pleiades, an open star cluster in the shoulder of the constellation Taurus, is known to the kilo hōkū, the Hawaiian astronomer, by several names: Ka Huihui a Makali`i (The cluster of Makali`i), Huihui kōkō a Makali`i Kau i Luna (The Net Cluster of Makali`i Hung Above), Nā Kā a Makali`i (The Bailer of Makali`i), Nā kōkō a Makali`i (The Net of Makali`i), Nā Wahine a Makali`i (The Wives of Makali`i), Ke Aweawe Makali`i (The Makali`i Stars Stuck Together), Ka Lālani a Makali`i (The Makali`i Line), Huihui (Cluster, Group), and Kūpuku (Clustered). In some traditions, the Pleiades is also called Makali`i, but there are also traditions which give that name to Aldebaran.
Attendees at this weekend's Malalo o ka Po Lani Hawaiian Culture Night Program will hear stories of Makali`i and more. After the 6:00 cultural program, the new artwork for the Ellison Onizuka Center for International Astronomy Visitor Information Station will be revealed. The display features Greek constellations, observatory photographys of the constellations, and a new collection of paintings of the Hawaiian constellations. Following the official installation of the new artwork, there will be a guidedstar tour of Hawaiian constellations outside on the VIS lanai.
Some prominent stars and constellations this month are: Huihui Koko a Makali`i Kau i Luna (The Constellation of Makali`i's Net Hanging Above), known in English as the Pleiades; Pūnana (Nest), also known as Hōkū Pa`a (Fixed Star), in English called the North Star; `Iwahine (Lady Frigate Bird), known in English as the Little Dipper; and `Iwa Keli`i, or `Iwalani (Royal Frigate Bird), known in English as Casseopeia.
The program features the storytelling, chanting, and hula of your Examiner, Leilehua Yuen, and the stories, traditional Hawaiian flute music, and guitar music of Manu Josiah.
Each month, a different cultural practitioner shares perspectives on an aspect of Hawaiian culture, history and/or arts relating to the natural history of Mauna Kea.
Those who come to the Maunakea culture night talks should wear layers, including a nice, warm jacket. Socks, shoes, and gloves are recommended. Bring a bottle of water to drink, and a flashlight. Be polite to those who are stargazing and cover the light with a red lens or filter. Tissues for those whose noses run in cold weather are good, as well. Please read this link for more safety information.
For those unfamiliar with the island, there are no streetlights on the road up the mountain. We must preserve our beautiful dark skies! And, Mauna Kea sticks her head up above the clouds, which means you will be driving through them, so plan for at least an hour of travel time from Hilo. Please read this link for driving information.
Hawai`i is now in Ho`oilo, the wet winter season. The Hawaiian month of `Ikuā ended at nightfall on the 14th. A noisy, stormy month, with thunder, wind, and rain in the uplands, Welehu, which began on the 15th is even more so. Those driving up Mauna Kea for the evening program should prepare accordingly.
The "Malalo o ka Po Lani" Hawaiian cultural program is held on the third Saturday of every month in the Ellison Onizuka Center for International Astronomy Visitor Information Station's presentation room at the 9,300-foot elevation on Mauna Kea.
For more information on the Malalo i ka Pō Lani culture night programs at the Onizuka Center for International Astronomy, contact the Mauna Kea Visitor's Information Station. Phone: (808) 961-2180 Fax: (808) 969-4892.

Mad for Plaid
Friday, February 15, 2013 | Things We Love, Tips & How-Tos
Alice Englert (of Beautiful Creatures) rocks head-to-toe plaid in this month's W.
Simple yet chic, plaids are bringing "old school" style back to the professional and casual scenes. Wearing plaids matched—or all mixed up—can be bold and flashy or modest and sophisticated. Depending on which plaid you plan on wearing, you can spice up your look with Universal Marble Powder in Spice, soften it with Pink or give it a sun-kissed glow with Bronze. Just like plaids, these mineral powders bring life to your vintage choice by highlighting and brightening your cheeks, eyes and lips. Just add a subtle or bold lip, and you've got this spring's hottest look!

How much BF have you lost on your IF diet?

Everything you want is achievable with IF... It's just the amount of time and work (and/or suffering) you're willing to endure. IF in it self didn't do a whole much, it's just a structure in which other stuff (diet) is much easier to endure (well for me)
Personally I went from 18%(-ish) to 10% .. six pack was my goal and lo and behold, there it was
(14-16 hour fasts, calories counted for the rest of the time, doing weights and some cardio (some of which in interval style)) And the best part, I felt like I could have stayed on that program for the rest of my life, but I wanted to put on some muscle mass so dieting stopped, but I did continue IF-ing just because I like it so much.

Three young guys (Zac Efron, Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan) with the world at their feet decide to swear off commitments, not taking into account that they're perpetually horny and they're surrounded by beautiful women who won't stop to go home with them in the bromantic rom-com "That Awkward Moment" by Tom Gormican.
So what is the awkward moment mentioned on the marquee? In flashback, Jason (Zac Efron) refers to it as the "So..." moment, where a woman asks a guy if they're in a relationship or just bed buddies. Jason clearly prefers the latter as he does everything in his power to drive women to the conclusion that nothing serious is going on. Assisting him in this cult of NSA (No Strings Attached, not the other one) is his pal and workmate Daniel (Miles Teller), a smartass who uses Jason's toilet whenever he gets the chance. The third member of these lovelorn Musketeers is Mikey (Michael B. Jordan) who is the most reasonable and the only married member of the trio.
When Mikey's perfect marriage falls apart, his friends are not only there to lift him up, but to vow relationship celibacy until he's back in the swing of things. (translation: dude, we're getting you laid until you forget the wife). The plan quickly hits an Olympic sized snag when Jason falls for the blonde bombshell in the making Ellie (Imogene Poots), who Jason falls for not once, but thrice. Crazy, I know. Before fellow lothario Daniel can scream that Jason's sold out to the love gods, he's finding himself straying into the land of commitment with Chelsea (Mackenzie Davis), the multi-talented type who always has a lot of guy friends, but never a boyfriend. Meanwhile, Mikey's diving back and forth between the past and peanut butter ice cream. Both are equally sticky, but they both have their moments.
While Miley is dropping her laundry, hair color, and Disney image, Efron has gradually outgrown his mouse past, but with far subtle and enjoyable outcomes. The "High School Musical" alum makes a huge step forward into grown up leading man in "That Awkward Moment." His adult chemistry with Teller and Jordan often match or exceed his onscreen magic with Poots, but it's actually what makes this rom-com for guys a bit more believable. Yes, it feels like a bizarro "Sex & The City," but pop culture references beat talk of Manolos to guys any day of the week. The term "yuppies" doesn't really apply to these guys, but it's sometimes a bit unnerving to see how there's not even a hair out of place between the three of them.
First time writer-director deserves for not only corralling a leading man in Efron, a future Oscar winner in Jordan, but also a rising star with enough scene stealing charm to make this a very lopsided film in Teller. Best of all Poots and Davis aren't just pretty set pieces, but are both attractive and amazing in the way they wrap the guys around their fingers.
Don't leave too early or you'll miss a very funny set of closing credits. You were warned.
"That Awkward Moment" MPAA: Rated R (for language, and sexual situations). Running time: 94 minutes.

Readsboro principal admits to embezzlingJuly 28,2014By Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer
BENNINGTON — The former principal of the Readsboro Central School admitted on Monday to embezzling from the school but may evade a criminal record for the incident.
Michael W. Heller, 41, of Fairfax, pleaded guilty on Monday in Bennington criminal court to a felony charge of embezzlement. The state dismissed a misdemeanor charge of petty larceny.
As part of the plea agreement, Heller's sentencing was delayed for 18 months. If he has no further legal problems, the charge will be expunged from his record.
Through his attorney, David Silver, Heller admitted on Monday to embezzling about $4,500 for his personal use from about $6,000 in grants that were awarded to the school last year.
Police released information about the embezzlement in January. Heller resigned from his position as principal of the school, where he had served for about a year, in December.MORE IN This Just InST.

She was similar to the Protogenos Eros (Procreation), Phanes and Thesis (Creation). The primal being of creation was regarded as both male and female.
Orphic Hymn 10 to Phusis (trans. Taylor) (Greek hymns C3rd B.C. to 2nd A.D.) :
"To Phusis (Nature), Fumigation from Aromatics. Phusis, all-parent, ancient and divine, o much mechanic mother, art is thine; heavenly, abundant, venerable queen, in every part of thy dominions seen. Untamed, all taming, ever splendid light, all ruling, honoured, and supremely bright. Immortal, Protogeneia (First-Born), ever still the same, nocturnal, starry, shining, powerful dame. Thy feet's still traces in a circling course, by thee are turned, with unremitting force. Pure ornament of all the powers divine, finite and infinite alike you shine; to all things common, and in all things known, yet incommunicable and alone. Without a father of thy wondrous frame, thyself the father whence thy essence came; mingling, all-flourishing, supremely wise, and bond connective of the earth and skies. Leader, life-bearing queen, all various named, and for commanding grace and beauty famed. Justice, supreme in might, whose general sway the waters of the restless deep obey. Ethereal, earthly, for the pious glad, sweet to the good, but bitter to the bad: all-wise, all-bounteous, provident, divine, a rich increase of nutriment is thine; and to maturity whatever may spring, you to decay and dissolution bring. Father of all, great nurse, and mother kind, abundant, blessed, all-spermatic mind: mature, impetuous, from whose fertile seeds and plastic hand this changing scene proceeds. All-parent power, in vital impulse seen, eternal, moving, all-sagacious queen. By thee the world, whose parts in rapid flow, like swift descending streams, no respite know, on an eternal hinge, with steady course, is whirled with matchless, unremitting force. Throned on a circling car, thy mighty hand holds and directs the reins of wide command: various thy essence, honoured, and the best, of judgement too, the general end and test. Intrepid, fatal, all-subduing dame, life everlasting, fate (aisa), breathing flame. Immortal providence, the world is thine, and thou art all things, architect divine. O, blessed Goddess, hear they suppliants' prayer, and make their future life thy constant care; give plenteous seasons and sufficient wealth, and crown our days iwht lasting peace and health."
Philostratus the Younger, Imagines 3 (trans. Fairbanks) (Greek rhetorician C3rd A.D.) :
"[From a description of an ancient Greek painting :] No doubt you see the grove around the spring, the work of wise Nature (physis), I believe; for Nature (physis) is sufficient for all she desires, and has no need of art; indeed it is she who is the origin of arts themselves."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 2. 650 ff (trans. Rouse) (Greek epic C5th A.D.) :
"Then Phusis (Nature), who governs the universe and recreates its substance [after the world-shattering battle between Zeus and Typhoeus], closed up the gaping rents in earth's broken surface, and sealed once more with the bond of indivisible joinery those island cliffs which had been rent from their bed."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 41. 51 ff :
"Here [Beroe in Lebanon] dwelt a people agemates with the dawn, whom Phusis (Nature) by her own breeding, in some unwedded way, begat without bridal, without wedding, fatherless, motherless, unborn: when the atoms were mingled in fourfold combination, and the seedless ooze shaped a clever offspring by comingling water with fiery heat and air [the four elements--Air, Earth, Water, Fire], and quickened the teeming mud with the breath of life. To these Phusis (Nature) gave perfect shape . . . now first appeared the golden crop of men [the Golden Race of Mankind] brought forth in the image of the gods, with the roots of their stock in the earth. And these dwelt in the city of Beroe, that primordial seat which Kronos (Time) himself builded."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 41. 98 ff :
"[Aphrodite] newly born from the brine; when the water impregnated from the furrow of Ouranos was delivered of deepsea Aphrodite; when without marriage, the seed plowed the flood with male fertility, and of itself shaped the foam into a daughter, and Phusis (Nature) was the midwife--coming up with the goddess there was that embroidered strap which ran round her loins like a belt [the cestus of love], set about the queen's body in a girdle of itself."
Natura was the Roman equivalent of the Greek Physis.
Seneca, Oedipus 23 ff (trans. Miller) (Roman tragedy C1st A.D.) :
"Not as a fugitive did I [Oidipous] leave my home; of my own will, distrustful of myself, O Natura (Nature), I made thy laws secure [i.e. he left home to avoid the prophecy that he would kill his father and marry his mother]."
Seneca, Phaedra 959 ff :
"O Natura [Phusis, nature], mighty mother of the gods [Rhea or Gaia is probably meant], and thou, fire-bearing Olympus' lord [Zeus] . . . why dost thou dwell afar, all too indifferent to men, not anxious to bring blessing to the good, and to the evil, bane?"

Imaging is the process used by Technology Services to put a standard set of Gustavus software on a computer. This set includes both an operating system and application software. Both new and cascaded computers are imaged.
- 1 Why would my computer be imaged?
- 2 How long does the imaging/cascading process take?
- 3 What happens to the software on my machine?
- 4 What happens to my data?
- 5 What changes can I expect?
- 6 What can I expect to stay the same?
- 7 Can I get a tutorial?
- 8 Who do I contact if I'm having problems?
Why would my computer be imaged?
There are many reasons why a computer would be imaged. If a computer is having significant software problems, is being cascaded as in the summer months, being replaced with new equipment, or the hard drive needs to be replaced, it would need to be imaged/re-imaged. Also, if a user is leaving his or her position and a new person is going to be using his or her computer, it would preferably be imaged between users. Computers with older operating systems should be imaged to bring them up to date with the Gustavus standards.
How long does the imaging/cascading process take?
It is our estimate that this process takes about a day. This is, however, an estimate. Because each computer has different computer hardware and each user has different amounts of data, the length of time it takes to image/cascade a computer varies from case to case. In some instances, it can take two to three days.
What happens to the software on my machine?
Each computer that is imaged for faculty, administrators, and staff receives the same standard set of software listed below. Please note that we are using the most current versions of the software below. If you have any questions on the software that we use, please contact the Technology Helpline at x6111 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

What happens to my data?
Before your computer is imaged, all of the files are backed up. The files backed up include almost every file from your computer: documents, e-mail settings, bookmarks, system files, etc. After your computer is imaged, we restore the contents of your MyDocuments or MyLocalData folder, including documents, e-mail settings from Eudora or Thunderbird; Internet Explorer favorites; Firefox bookmarks; printers; and user accounts. We also restore your Microsoft Word templates and desktop shortcuts. The hard drive is removed from your old computer and a new one is installed. The old hard drive is stored for two months before erasing and re-using.
What changes can I expect?
Because your computer is reformatted during this process, your system will NOT be exactly the same as it was when it left your office. There are some things that cannot be restored at the time of imaging. For example, if you have any network drives that are automatically connected, you will have to reconnect them when your computer is returned. Also, any software that you have added to your machine that is not on the above list will need to be reinstalled. Technology Services will reinstall this software for you if you provide the installation CDs and serial numbers. Because the imaging process includes the newest versions of software used on campus, you may notice changes related to version changes.
What can I expect to stay the same?
During the imaging process, we try very hard to restore the user environment that you are used to. Every effort is made to restore your data, templates, desktop shortcuts, printers, user accounts, e-mail settings from Thunderbird, Internet Explorer favorites and Firefox bookmarks. If any of these things are missing when you get your computer back, please let us know so we can restore what we have missed.
Can I get a tutorial?
Upon delivery, you will receive a short tutorial and letter about specific changes on your new system. If you are out of the office when your computer is returned, we will leave a letter and provide a tutorial when you return.
Who do I contact if I'm having problems?
If you have any problems or questions about the imaging process, please contact the Technology Helpline at x6111 or firstname.lastname@example.com

"The internet is a bubble dominated by the loudest, most unrepresentative voices; an infinitesimally small minority of a minority which, deaf to reason and the opinions of others, deludes itself that somehow it is the voice of the majority. An infinite echo chamber of shrieking, witless banality."
Are we talking real age or mental age ? First 32 second i'd guess around 8 - 12:P. Oh yeah and male.
Nothing here matters.

Without going into details or specifics, yes LOTRO has a higher than average female demographic. We tend to skew both older and attract more female players than the industry averages.
(Female, fifth decade, first online MMO,)
22-year-old of indeterminate gender, holder of a BA in English with a minor in Philosophy.
Before going into details i want to recall to everyone that is a safety issue to post your personally identifiable information. Someone random may go into this thread & will hit the jackpot to make a good workout of identity theft.
Tut, tut, never ask a woman her age!
Female, (also fifth decade), not my first mmo (yes, I AM a gamer and proud of it!)
Almost 50, guy.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming "WOW, what a ride!"

You left out some genders though in your inquiry. What about androgynous folk? Or folks who are both, bigendered? Trans? Trigender?
Do you mean physically appear as male/female/other, or mentally exist as whichever?
(I loved the story from an androgynous person, who when being watched approaching the restrooms at a restaurant to see which one they'd enter, would stop in front, pull out and flip a coin, pretend to observe the result, then go into whichever restroom they were planning to beforehand.)

From 1987 – 1998 Mr. Savino directed the CSU Summer Arts Guitar and Lute Institute and is presently director of Ensemble El Mundo which performed the featured opening concert at the 1998 Berkeley Early Music Festival. An active opera enthusiast, Mr. Savino is principal theorbist/lutenist for the Glimmerglass and Houston Grand Operas. In 1982 Mr. Savino was chosen twice by Maestro Andres Segovia to perform in master-classes at the Conservatoire de Musique in Geneva, Switzerland and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In 1984 and 1986 he was chosen to perform in the International Segovia Fellowship Competition sponsored by New York University and in 1985 became the first solo guitarist to be chosen a winner at the Artists International Carnegie Recital Hall Debut Competition.
His recordings include the first period instrument versions of Luigi Boccherini's guitar quintets (3 CD's), Mauro Giuliani's Grand Quintetto and Johann Kaspar Mertz's Bardenklänge for the Harmonia Mundi record label, all of which have received great critical acclaim. In addition to receiving a 10 du Rèpertoire the Parisian journal has also placed his Boccherini recordings in their "Great Discoveries" category which they deem as essential to any classical music collection. He has recorded virtuoso sonatas by Paganini and Giuliani with British violinist Monica Huggett (HM), flute and guitar sonatas with renowned flutist Laurel Zucker (Cantelina), solo sonatas by Ferdinando Carulli on the Naxos label, an extensive collection of 18th century guitar music from Mexico by Santiago de Murcia (4 Stars: Goldberg) on Koch, and a collection of monody by Barbara Strozzi with soprano Emanuela Galli and Ensemble Gallilei, Stradivarius (Milano; 9 du Rèpertoire). Mr. Savino's CD of Murcia was featured as the Global Hit on the Public Radio International program The World, and he has also been the subject of a one hour special on the PRI program Harmonia. His most recent recordings include a cd of music titled Venice Before Vivaldi, a Portrait of Giovanni Legrenzi with El Mundo, a solo CD of baroque guitar music by Robert DeVisee and Françios Campion, (Koch); and music by Biagio Marini with Monica Huggett and Ensemble Galatea (Stradivarius). Koch International has also released his recording of the first period instrument versions of the Boccherini Guitar Symphonia, the Op. 30 Concerto for Guitar by Mauro Giuliani with Ms. Huggett and the Portland Baroque Orchestra.
Mr. Savino has appeared on the CBS and PBS television networks, has been heard "in recital" on National Public Radio's Performance Today, Morning Pro Musica, Off The Record, England's BBC and the CBC's Music from Montreal and Music from Vancouver programs. Last year he was the subject of a one hour special on the NPR's Harmonia. In 1995 he was a contributing author to the Cambridge University Press Studies in Performance Practice series and is presently editing the complete works of Fernando Sor for Editions Chanterelle and a collection of secular monodies by Francesca Caccini for Indiana University Press. In 2008 Mr. Savino participated in a series of concerts and a cd/dvd recording project with the renowned vocal ensemble Chanticleer which featured music from historic missions throughout California.

I'm worried that we don't have our house enough in order to preach the restored gospel to people from deeply different cultures. The information age has changed the paradigm. The history of the Church that the missionaries convey with childlike simplicity persuades people of good will, but the converts' gradual-but-inevitable discovery of real and verifiable facts about Joseph's mistakes, the ramblings of Brigham Young, and the personal opinions of present Church leaders may come as hard surprises, disappointments that may cast doubt on the actual truths they've been taught. Jonah was a prophet when he was called to preach to Nineveh, but was he still a prophet when he got on a boat instead? That's a question we need to answer about modern-day prophets when they've demonstrated their human weaknesses. Most missionaries are very young; they should be going abroad to learn rather than to teach. We should all reconsider our roles, from Church leaders to member missionaries.

I respectfully disagree. The accusations made against Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, etc., have been around for many decades, nothing there has really changed. If sincere investigators seek out personal revelation and act on it, their faith and testimonies will cast out any doubts they might have. The gospel message is not embraced by the cynical doubters or the proud. It is embraced by the honest and pure in heart, and they are the ones who hear the voice of the Good Shephard, and follow Him. We have living prophets on the earth. We don't have to worry about things that we have no control over.

Gary, I think there is a strength to our theology that is not always easy to
see, but can have profound effects on making it easy to relate to those of
different cultures. I do not think that cultural barriers are the biggest
impediment to our ability to share the gospel with others. For example, despite
the fact that we have several thousand years of shared history and culture the
Church struggles in countries like Greece and Sweden. But is flourishing in
countries like Ghana, and has immeasurable potential in countries like China.
If there are cultural barriers then the best way for us to cross that barrier is through the simple messages. After all the other trials and tests of new member's faith I don't think that learning the complexity of our history will do much to shake their faith any more than it has done to shake mine.
In any event, I hope you are well and I'll see you on Sunday.

One of the messages presented at this conference is the idea our message has many similarities with Asian culture. This allows for a easy acceptance of some gospel principles. I really enjoyed the comparisons of Mormonism and Buddhism. Great conference.

The beauty of the gospel is that it easily lends itself to all cultures and appreciates all cultures. The spirit testifies to the pure in heart and has NO cultural barriers.

Two thoughts -- first, anyone who wants to focus on Joseph Smith's mistakes
need only look to the Doctrine and Covenants to see where the Lord called him
out for his errors and mistakes and commanded him to repent. Joseph always
admitted readily that he wasn't perfect and he never shied away from
including the Lord's rebukes of him in the the published revelations.
Second, I've always found it interesting that people (especially critics of the LDS Church) can readily accept such "human moments" in ancient prophets--even celebrate how they came back stronger from them--but can't do the same for modern leaders. But anyone who accepts that Christ was the only perfect person can hardly condemn modern prophets and other church leaders for occasionally falling short. Even the best people are still fallible humans who have their bad days. The Lord knew it would be so and He called them to His work anyway.

@ Garybeac ---
So, what issues that you've mentioned (above) does the LDS Church need to "have... in order" before it is qualified to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Asian countries? Joseph's shortcomings? Brigham's "ramblings"? Present church leaders "disappointments" (whatever that is)? "Missionaries... childlike simplicity"?
The Church and its leaders, missionaries and members NEVER HAS been "perfect", and yet look at how that great stone cut from the mountain HAS rolled forward, and is filling the earth!
Conversion (i.e., faith, testimony, belief) is NOT based on historical facts or intellectual comparisons.
And when you say that missionaries should be "going to learn... rather than teach", that flies in direct opposition to what the Savior Himself said, "Ye are not sent forth to be taught, but to teach..".
So, I hope that any who are conflicted between their beliefs/faith and their intellectual analysis can humbly resolve the differences in their mind and heart.

Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Delhi has extended the date of hearing regarding SSC CGL 2013 exam on 13th January, 2014. On January 18, CAT announced the next hearing date on 13.01.2014. Now it is very interesting that S.K. Ranjan, Dy. Regional Director, North-Western Region, the official notification for SSC CGL 2014 exam will be published on 18th January, 2014.
All SSC CGL 2013 aspirants have a good news! SSC has decided to fill an application in order to remove the stay order from CGL 2013 Tier-II exam held on 28th and 29th September, 2013 so that they can publish the result of CGL Tier-II exam. You know that SSC filled application in September to vacate the stay order from the CGL Tier-II exam. The stay order was removed and Tier-II exam was held on scheduled time. Now we may hope that same situation will be happened again.
Now we have to wait for some days to see whether the stay on CGL 2013 Tier-II result will be vacated or another hearing date. Time will give this answer.

What are my options? Can I make the fans run more, can I make the CPU do less work, is it my graphics card? IBM T60 with Core Duo, ATI graphics
It seems you (and I) have the same problem as most users using Intel processors. There is a power regression/overheating bug with Linux kernel used by 11.10. Good news is this bug has been fixed as witnessed by 12.04 beta 2 users.
Just upgrade to 12.04 on April 26 which I'm sure will take care of this problem once and for all. Hope this helps!
Try installing lastest propietary drivers for your ATI graphics, Open-Source drivers are known to make some cards (especially on laptops), work at higher temperatures, Catalyst 12.3 or later could fix this overheating problem.
ej. In my laptop, temperature went from 75°C to 44°C with propietary drivers.

Cuts don't matter, but Chalmers and Anthony do
With Monday's excising of Anthony Mason Jr. and Mickell Gladness, the Heat is essentially where it stood entering camp.
Mason and Gladness were the final two added to what became a 20-player camp roster, now the roster is back to the 18 the Heat had been working with prior to camp.
While the next debate will be which of the three remaining players will be cut, that is relatively meaningless in the big picture.
Whether Patrick Beverley, Kenny Hasbrouck, Shavlik Randolph or Da'Sean Butler remain is superfluous. All it means is the survivor will have to go shopping for sports coats, inactive on most nights.
But there is a significant matter that remains these final two weeks of camp.
Or, more to the point, a significant matter that needs to play out.
Joel Anthony and Mario Chalmers have to have their moments.
Essentially gifted starting roles in camp, neither has had a moment this preseason that justifies such a guarantee.
Anthony has started three games, grabbed exactly one rebound in each. Yes, the minutes have been limited, but we're talking a starting NBA center for a championship contender. A solid effort Wednesday against Emeka Okafor, a similar undersized center, would go a long way.
As for Chalmers, Wednesday's game in New Orleans also could go a long way toward offering clarity. Providing quality defense, and a tighter handle, against a top-tier point guard such as Chris Paul would be a good place to start.
In many ways, Tuesday's home game against CSKA Moscow merely gets in the way. Nothing Anthony or Chalmers achieve will stand for much. Ultimately, it turned into an unfortunate cash grab for the Heat.
Erik Spoelstra would be wise to hold back on Tuesday, so he can determine tangible results Wednesday against a tangible opponent.

Homeschooled kids are loners, right? They're the ones that nobody plays with. They have no social skills. They wouldn't know how to function in a regular classroom, much less in regular society. Kids need to be around other kids. Sure, they might get bullied sometimes, and they're definitely going to learn things that you would rather they didn't learn; but you can't shelter your kids forever. Sooner or later, they're going to have to get out there and be part of the world, and there's nothing that you can do to prevent that. Keeping them at home just delays social development and means that it will be harder for them when they do rejoin society…right?
Actually, homeschooled kids often have pretty good social skills.
A lot of them spend a lot of time with adults—you know, like you and your spouse. Since you aren't leaving them at school for a huge chunk of their day, it's likely that they go along with you while you do…pretty much everything. Whether it's a mom's group meeting or a trip to the grocery store, your kids are tagging along with you and observing your social interactions. That means that they're learning the "adult" way of handling things, and so it advances their social skills faster.
There are all sorts of activities out there for them.
Since they're not in school during the daytime hours, they can use those hours for social activities—and there are plenty of clubs and classes that take advantage of homeschooled kids' larger range of available hours. In addition to that, there are church groups and outings, homeschool associations, and other groups that your kids can be part of. Invite their friends over; take the time to take them to parties and other social gatherings; and remember that "social interaction" doesn't necessarily have to be every day.
They have each other.
If you have more than one child, homeschooling will likely change their relationship in a number of ways—both good and bad. Because they are constantly in one another's presence, with few to no breaks, they will likely bring out the worst in one another. They will also bring out the best in each other. They will be each other's staunchest advocates and most brutal adversaries...sometimes at the same time!
Virtual counts...some.
Once your child enters middle or high school, she will likely want to spend more and more time on the computer, texting her friends, or on the phone. This is no substitute for face-to-face time, but it is a normal part of regular social interaction—and it will help keep her up to date with everything that's going on with other kids her age. Just make sure that you keep a close eye on what's being discussed, and discuss safety rules up front: no nude pictures, or the cell phone has to go!
You're better able to supervise.
No, you can't control every minute; but knowing that Mom or Dad is always leaning over his shoulder is great incentive for your child to behave the way you expect. Kids know that they can get away with a lot more when their parents aren't watching, and you have the ability to gently correct behavior before it becomes to inappropriate. This is especially important for high-needs kids, who may need extra help keeping their behavior in check.

Kris Jenner likes taking photos with her clothes on. The reality television star was recently asked if she would consider doing Playboy (thanks to a nifty Internet rumor) and despite her desire to make tons of money, she actually said that it would not be the best idea she has ever had. On April 10, the New York Daily News reported that the 58-year-old momager isn't even dreaming of Playboy -- at least that's how it sounds.
"Oh my god, no! I don't think anyone wants to see me without any clothes on," Jenner told Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O (via the New York Daily News).
Kris Jenner photos without clothes might not be appealing to many people so her decision to stay dressed is probably a good one. At the same time, Kris really works hard to stay in shape and she says that she posts bikini pictures from time to time because she thinks they are "inspirational" and that people in their 50s can see that they too can have a healthy body regardless of their age.
"I posted those bikini photos because I thought it was so inspirational for someone in their 50s to have some motivation and say, 'Wow, you know, anyone can at least try to put a bathing suit on,'" she explained.
So... Kris Jenner photos with clothes or without clothes? Which would you choose?

Rare Houdon Work on Loan to The Frick Collection
Resize Text
Director Anne L. Poulet announces the loan to The Frick Collection of a stunning work by sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741–1828). The exquisite marble relief, The Dead Thrush (La grive morte), 1782, from The Horvitz Collection, Boston, has recently been placed on display in the North Hall across from the portrait of the Marquis de Miromesnil (1777), also by Houdon. There the relief may be viewed in proximity to Jean-Étienne Liotard's Trompe L'Oeil (1771), a painting closely related to it in style.

Last week, fans watched as Kira lit up like a Fourth of July sparkler and the city went into a complete blackout. Monday January 27, 2014 fans watched as the city stayed dark and the authorities enforced a curfew for the teens. But when its dark, the kids still play. Instead of staying safe in their homes they threw a dark light rave at Derek's (who has been missing from the scene for the last couple of weeks - but following up on his own story line involving family) loft.
All seems to be going well at the party, Stiles hooks up with someone (not Lydia), Ethan and Aiden even make progress in winning back their love interests, Isaac (who is still recovering from the attack of the shadow people last week) and Allison seem to be moving closer, and Scott and Kira make a deeper connection when she "moms" him (but this only happens after he breaks into the police station to help Kira delete photos that reveal her fox armor). But all these connections are short lived when the shadow people (who we discover from next week's teaser are demons and they also have a connection to Mr. Argent himself - one Argent asks Isaac to keep quiet about for 24 hours) attack the pack of misfits. Ethan, Aiden, Lydia and Derek are all attacked and they Isaac in the group of supernaturals that now have the number five tattooed behind their ears.
The "demons" are some tough competition and beat the pack down rather quickly, proving they are a superior force to be reckoned with. The only thing that saved the remaining pack members from attack was the rising sun which made the shadow "demons" disappear into black smoke. So what do you think will happen next week? Feel free to leave a comment below with your thoughts.

The Patriot Ledger in Quincy has a nice feature on former UMass basketball great George "Trigger" Burke.
QUINCY - It was no surprise to see Quincy lawyer George "Trigger" Burke at Friday's Boston Amateur Basketball Club tournament at Quincy High, checking out the ninth-, 10th- and 11th-grade talent, just as Quincy High coach Dave Parry and North Quincy High coach Kevin Barrett were.
After all, if any man's name is synonymous with Quincy hoops, it is Burke, and as he is quick to point out, he's been happy to donate money to both high schools' programs, even though he is a 1950 Quincy High grad. But it might have been a little surprising to find Burke at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn two weekends ago, although he thoroughly enjoyed the trip to the new arena.
"What a beautiful arena," Burke said from his Hancock Street office. "And out front they had these giant pictures of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce!" Burke wasn't there to catch up on former Celtics, although he is one himself, but rather to receive yet another honor for his own basketball exploits. In conjunction with the Atlantic 10 Tournament, the conference honored a select few former players from its schools with the Atlantic 10 Legends Award.
"They asked the schools to nominate people from their past, and UMass nominated me," Burke explained. "Of course, in those days there was no A-10 - we played in the Yankee Conference - but it was nice recognition from the school and the A-10."

Because Malachor is far from Old Sith space. At the risk of repeating myself:
This clearly shows that Malachor was intended to be in the Unknown Regions (I mean the ones depicted in the canon sources). Plus,
The new chronology
mentions that Malachor is "only a few parsecs from Lehon", which further proves that Malachor was not a part of the Old Sith empire.
But is there any evidence of the Republic in the KotOR era knowing of Sith Empire worlds such as Ch'hodos, Rhelg, Khar Delba (and Khar Shian), Thule, or Ziost?
Yes. Ziost was cleansed by the Republic after the Hyperspace war, as was Korriz. Yavin IV was later attacked in the Great Sith war, as was Ashas Ree (all from the NEC). Those are 2 capital worlds and other important planets, plus, the Old Sith empire wasn't exactly that extended. Imo, it can't be categorized into the "unknown regions".
That argument does not seem to me to fit well with the maps you based your argument earlier.
And would I be correct to assume you've abandoned the map argument after the maps conflicted on Hoth's position? Because it seemed to me that your argument that Old Sith space did not belong to the older "unknown regions" was based on that assumption...
What do you mean? Malachor borders the UR (per the NEC and the K2 map). Once the Exile beat Kreia, she told her to go further deep into the Unknown regions. I'm not sure what you mean by "Hoth's position" either.
I can tell whether I think it's elegant or not, which is what I did. Retconning is generally not what I would consider elegant. It can be necessary at times, but should only be a last resort, because you're basically rewriting history, which is always a no-no. And it doesn't even seem necessary here...
Fair enough, I see your point. What I meant was more of that, since they had a K3 storyline in mind (at least, afaik), they could be trusted in retconning this stuff without much problem.
Sure, the devs may have considered some ancient uber-sith, but they still mentioned the Sith Empire in the game in relation to the true Sith. They also considered having Nihilus' mask being made of Revan's skull at a time. Are we to accept that as fact because it was considered at one point during development, even though Kreia tells the exile to go and find Revan in the end, thereby suggesting he is still alive?
I'd argue it's different. The whole Nihilus' mask matter is something we know they completely dropped. However, when asked, the devs firmly stated that their intentions with the true Sith was to make a separate group (I'm sorry I can't provide a link to this one - This was from 2005 or so). They never mentioned it was an idea they wouldn't be using in the future...
but there is still no evidence I've ever seen that they were ever some uber-powerful Sith-species empire beyond fanboy speculation. After all, it is not actually stated in the game, is it? I mean, we still haven't found the evidence that proves despite looking for it, have we?
Yeah, I agree. I'm not arguing that there is another Uber Sith out there either. I'm just saying that whatever these true Sith are, they can't be the Old Sith (They can be related, though).
This is the true one...I am telling you the truth...Do you believe me?

DeKALB, Ill. -- After rallying for a 5-4 victory in the first game of a Tuesday doubleheader at Northern Illinois, Bradley (9-10) could not take advantage of a 5-run first inning in the nightcap to earn the sweep. Instead, the Huskies (8-11) answered with five runs of their own in the bottom of the first and rode the momentum to an 11-6 win to split the non-conference twinbill at Ralph McKinzie Field.
After playing their first 19 games away from home, Bradley will open the 2008 home slate this weekend by hosting Missouri Valley Conference rival
Game 1 Recap Bradley 5,
Dan Brewer hit a 3-run home run in the fifth inning to give Bradley a brief 4-3 lead and designated hitter Adam Kimble drove home the winning run in the top of the sixth, leading the Braves to a 5-4 win in Tuesday's opening-game at Northern Illinois.
Senior right-hander Chris Wright (1-3) picked up his first win of the season by scrapping through 5.0 innings. Although he allowed four runs, three earned, on eight hits, Wright also struck out a career-best eight hitters to help him work out of trouble. After Kimble's go-ahead hit in the sixth, three Bradley relieves combined to keep the Huskies off the board in the last two innings to preserve the win. Senior Eitan Barbalat got the final four outs to earn his first save of the year. Huskies starter Brandon Copp (1-3) took the loss, despite giving his first complete-game effort of the year.
Bradley managed to tie the game in the top of the second without the benefit of a hit. Colby Luttrell led off the frame with a ground ball to second, but ended up at second base following Tim Kamin's throwing error. Following a consecutive strikeouts by Mike Brumleve and Rob Elliott, Luttrell scored when Stevens threw wildly on Kimble's ground ball to short.
Wright struck out two more hitters in both the second and third innings before running into trouble in the fourth. After getting his seventh strikeout to start the fourth, Justin Behm singled and scored when Kamin followed with his first triple of the season. Kamin put
The Braves again bounced right back and took their first lead, 4-3, when Brewer delivered a two-out, 3-run homer. Brewer was named the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week Monday, an honor that was aided by his game-winning 3-run homer in the ninth inning of Saturday's 9-6 victory at
This time,
Luttrell started Bradley's sixth-inning rally by hitting a one-out single to center field. He was forced out at second on Mike Brumleve's ground ball, but the Bradley left fielder beat out the potential inning-ending double play, then raced around to third on Elliott's two-out single to center. Kimble followed with a base hit to left to put the Braves up, 5-4, but he was thrown out trying to sneak into second base to end the inning.
Jon Goebel relieved Wright to start the home half of the sixth, but gave way to first baseman Grant Escue after giving up a one-out double to Kamin. Pinch-runner Marvin Sanchez immediately stole third, but he was thrown out at the plate when he tried to score on Brian Smith's ground ball to second. Barbalat relieved Escue and got Pat Minogue to ground out to end the inning, then worked around a leadoff walk in the seventh to secure the save.
Game 2 Recap at
Bradley's first six hitters reached safely against
Huskies reliever Dan Atkenson (1-0) retired the next three hitters in order to end the outburst, then limited the Braves to just one run on five hits with eight strikeouts the rest of the way.
The Huskies used a pair of home runs a 3-run blast by Danny Reed and a 2-run shot by Joe Buonavolanto to pull even in the bottom of the first against Bradley starter Tyler Thornton (0-2). Jeff Thomas pushed NIU ahead, 6-5, in the second with an RBI single.
After Bradley first baseman Jim Clayton's solo homer in the third created a 6-6 tie, Buonavolanto answered with his second homer of the game in the bottom of the third to give the Huskies the lead for good, 7-6. NIU's fourth homer of the game, a 2-run shot by Dave Reynolds, capped a 3-run fourth inning to give the home squad some breathing room.
Brewer reached safely in all four of his plate appearances in the nightcap, going 2-for-2 with a double, two walks and a pair of stolen bases to complete the nightcap with a four hits and three walks in eight plate appearances.

Jeremy Miller was seen on Dancing With the Stars Monday night and the fans were surprised by his decision to come to the show. While the former boyfriend of Candace Cameron Bure and Danica McKellar might have appreciated the cameo moment, it had little to do with the dancing at the ballroom. The idea was more to do about the drama and saga the show tries to build up for fans to follow from week to week. According to WetPaint on Monday night, the DWTS couples were really focused on putting together solid routines for the show.
The saga with Jeremy Miller and rivalry of the two woman probably has been buried years ago. As both ladies have moved on with their lives and both seem to be accomplished individuals, bringing in Jeremy Miller for such a cameo is such a cheesy move. It's doubtful it's going to stir any negative memories between the three and the fans could care less about who dated who years ago.
It's nice to see that Jeremy Miller took time from his busy schedule to cheer on the competitors of the reality show. Few people know about his current projects (and we couldn't find anything upcoming online,) but he is best known for Growing Pains work. And maybe he might be a competitor of the show next year so people can find out more about his career instead of him drawing away from the competitors at hand.

We love to seize the opportunity to celebrate each and every day - after all, the daily grind can be, well, a grind. We're learning that there are many holidays out there that may not have reached "Hallmark" calendar status, but they still count and deserve to be recognized. Preferably with wine. With that being said, we bring to you this very special day (cue "The More You Know" theme song).
You don't have a beard? Don't be so smug, we all get extra fuzz as we get older. The real bitch is our eyes get worse so we can't even see it. In honor of No Beard Day we're presenting you with Bellabe Facial Hair Removal ($15). It keeps you well groomed and beard free, so unless you're dressing up as a goat for Halloween or you are from the old country, take a little time to get to know it.
I've been super busy with work and a full-time college class load lately, and my body
hair was becoming a legitimate issue for the first time in my life. I was so embarrassed
(I wouldn't even be posting this now if not for the glorious anonymity of the internet). I haven't tried the Bellabe remover, but I have to share this product!
I needed something quick that I could fit into my daily routine easily, and I decided
to use Sabi. They make both a hair removing and a hair-growth delaying cream.
I wasn't sure how well the delaying cream would work, but now its part of my daily
routine and I'm seeing results. Every month or so I need to use the removing cream,
but that's pretty quick. Now my legs look great and girlfriends are asking me what I
use on my skin all the time <3.
oh and btw, the site is www.sabismooth.com

Been since march for me so it makes it 5 months. I was searching for some but cold turkey is the best. I went cold turkey to get off cigarettes. I have been smoke free for 4 years now. So, I know I can be good with the bus.

I'm a chocoloholic, so I brought fixin's for chocolate martinis and some high-end chocolates. The chocolate martinis are great - only takes a couple to knock me out and lots of time can pass before I'm awake again! Makes the time on the bus pass much more quickly when you are unaware!!
BTW, Nature_Girl, if you have been on the bus for years and years, your 3 kids must be all close to 10 now..... I haven't had so many chocolate martinis that I can't do simple math.... yet.
