DaiBMui's review of Unlisted Brand Bikini Zone

I bought the creme version with hopes that it would clear up the red bumps. While it seemed to have calmed the redness & irritation (w/ the lidocaine), it didn't clear up the bumps at all. I don't get why they tell you to put on "immediately after hair removal" since this has menthol and camphor in it (hence the mild moth ball smell), so I imagine that it's just gonna sting. It does have salicylic acid in it, but not enough to clear up those bumps. The cap is also awkward to open. Will not repurchase.

Laughs and Love (laughsandlove.com)
This post is probably the most terrifying post I've ever decided to share. It's terrifying to me on several levels. I feel like I'm really putting myself out there for the world to see (not that the vast majority of the world even cares to read my blog). I often worry too much about what other people are going to think of me and it keeps me from sharing some of the most important messages at times.
Sacrament of Reconciliation gives us forgiveness and healing in our souls.
Laughs and Love (laughsandlove.com)
12/16/2013 (2 years ago)
Published in Blog
Keywords: reconciliation, confession, love, mercy, forgiveness, starting a new life, become a saint, God, healing
NASHVILLE, TN - I live in
the south and my faith is of the minority here in Nashville, TN. This
post focuses on an essential Sacrament to my faith and I fear being
judged by my non-Catholic friends as well as my Catholic friends. I also
pull from bits and pieces of my own personal testimony so I'm a bit
nervous to share. Perhaps this is precisely why I keep feeling God's
gentle nudge, asking me to share a little bit of my story and my
faith...perhaps it's time to own my story. So here it goes...
This post is a speech that I gave in March at The Life In The Spirit Seminar in Ohio (where I grew up). If sharing this speech touches just one life, then it was worth sharing.
Why are each of you here at this retreat? I imagine for a lot of you, you are longing to know Jesus more deeply. Perhaps you are here seeking forgiveness or trying to make a change in your life. Maybe someone invited you or even pushed you into coming - thinking this would be a great way for you to experience our Lord in a way you may never have experienced His love before. The point is that YOU are here for a reason. You are each here because God asked you to be here this weekend and you said yes - whether you were reluctant or not. This retreat allows us to see and feel the presence of God in our lives so intensely because for an entire weekend we put aside all the distractions and focus on His incredible love for us. For us! For each one of us! We've all been called to be here this weekend.
I want to talk about, what has been for me, one of the best possible ways to grow not only as a person, but also to grow my relationship with the Lord. The pathway for that growth is a wonderful, beautiful Sacrament instituted by Jesus Christ himself. That Sacrament is the Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Confession or Penance). I want to share with you why I have grown to love this Sacrament with my whole heart, now recognizing my incredible need for this Sacrament. Reconciliation is the true path to a deeper relationship with our Lord and the true path to forgiveness and healing in our souls.
Some of you may be thinking it's too late. You've already committed too many sins or sins too serious in nature God couldn't possibly look past them and forgive you. But guess what? God created you. Love is what God is and He will never stop loving each one of you no matter the sins you've committed. I once had a priest tell me in Confession to think of the worst possible sin I had ever committed. He then told me when I was committing that very sin, God still loved me with everything He has. That is how much God loves each one of us, despite our sinfulness.
His love is unconditional. You are ALL worthy of Christ's love, but it is our responsibility to ask for forgiveness and repent. To repent means to change. God wants us to turn away from our sinful ways and change. The act of genuinely asking for forgiveness is acknowledgement of the wrong we've done. It is owning up to the fact that our sins have hurt others and especially our Lord. It is proof of our willingness and desire to do instead what is right. It is humbling ourselves for the sake of our Lord.
As I prepared my speech for this retreat I was really focusing on forgiveness and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. I've researched a bit and listened to inspiring speeches and have been so excited to share the beauty of this Sacrament with you. But then, just a few weeks out from the retreat and one week from my deadline to turn my speech in, I had a huge reality check. The whole time I was so focused on all the great things I might be able to share with you guys I was a bit surprised to find God had something in store for me during this process too.
If you confess with your whole heart, you will be forgiven for your sins.

Our Fate Will Be in Our Votes

I'm just wondering who the undecided voter is and why they are undecided. It seems you either want smaller government with lower taxes and a chance to succeed in business or you want the government to take care of you from cradle to grave by raising taxes and telling you where you can send your kids to school, what doctor you can go to and what they will allow you eat and drink, etc.
This country is broke — $16 trillion in debt and climbing. It took both parties to get us here but only one has promised to address the problem. We don't know if it is all talk and no action but after four years of President Barack Obama and another more than $5 trillion in debt we should understand that he is not willing to do anything. If nothing is done, all of our entitlements, Social Security, Medicare, etc., will disappear and we will be left with nothing.
That's what's great about elections. If they don't do what we want and need done, we can fire them. They work for us and in four years the next person has to sell what they have done.
Surely you can't be happy with this economy and the hard left turn this country has taken, but if you are, vote for four more years of this. If not, vote for the other guy.

New Trump Video Is Very Classy, Features Hillary Barking Like A Dog
CREDIT: AP Photo/Nati Harnik
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has a new video that purports to attack Hillary Clinton's foreign policy credentials. But instead of criticizing the Democratic presidential candidate's policy proposals, her talking points, or her record as first lady, senator, or secretary of state, the video tries to make her a joke by showing her out of context, barking like a dog.
The video, posted on Trump's Instagram, begins with a martial drumbeat and a video of Vladimir Putin wrestling. It cuts to a jihadi, and then to a clip of Hillary Clinton barking. It follows that with a clip of Putin chuckling. "We don't need to be a punchline!" it concludes.
The ad may seem like a joke, but it also plays on the barrage of sexist commentary focusing on Clinton's voice. Just last night, during Clinton's victory speech, male pundits responded by tweeting that she was "shouting angrily" and just needed to "smile."
Hillary having a big night in the primaries. So she's shouting angrily in her victory speech. Supporters loving it. What's she mad at?
— Brit Hume (@brithume) March 16, 2016
That wasn't the first time Clinton's been faced with gender-coded language about her voice — far from it. In February, a Morning Joe segment gave an example of almost every sexist trope applied to Clinton, saying that Clinton struggled to overcome her opponent in the Democratic primary Bernie Sanders because she "shouts" too much, because she was "screaming," acting "unnatural," and being "feisty." In the 2008 campaign, Clinton was called "shrill" and compared to a "nagging wife" because of her voice.
The sexism in the 2008 campaign coverage was so bad that the Women's Media Center drew up a guide for gender neutral coverage of female politicians for reporters. Where women are called "shrill" or "nagging," the guide lays out, men are called "determined." Feisty is another alarm-bell, because it is "normally reserved for individuals and animals that are not inherently potent or powerful." Even coverage of the appearance of female candidates is suspect — because while describing what a female candidate is wearing has become a journalistic trope (such as the extensive commentary on Hillary Clinton's pantsuits), for men, it's not usually mentioned. This has real consequences: Research has shown that even a neutral description of a female candidate's appearance hurts her chances.
Although Trump's new ad doesn't say any of these things outright, it builds on a well-laid groundwork of coded language and sexist criticism of his political opponent. Kicking off the video with the extreme masculine symbolism of Putin's bare-chested wrestling just ups the ante.
The actual clip comes from a rally in Nevada, where Clinton referenced a political ad on the radio from her days in Arkansas.
Describing the ad, Clinton said: "The announcer said, 'Wouldn't it be great if somebody running for office said something, we could have an immediate reaction as to whether it was true or not? Well we've trained this dog and the dog, if it's not true, he's going to bark.'"
"I'm trying to figure out how we can do that with the Republicans, you know? We need to get that dog and follow them around and every time they say things, like, 'Oh, the great recession was caused by too much regulation—'" she said, then barking, like the fact-check dog she was imagining. "I think we could cut right through a lot of their claims."
While we don't have dogs trained to follow around candidates and bark the alarm when they lie, we do now have near-instantaneous fact-checking via the internet. The fact-checking site Politifact rolled Donald Trump's campaign statements together and awarded them "2015 Lie of the Year," — the majority of Trump's claims checked on the site are some degree of false, from "mostly" to "pants on fire." Bark bark.

"Semper Memento," a sculpture honoring the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, seems as though it has been under attack itself since it was installed in Laguna Beach's Heisler Park five years ago.
So the city recently put a surveillance camera in the area so the sculpture, by Laguna Beach artist Jorg Dubin, could be monitored.
Two weeks ago Dubin reinstalled the stainless-steel sphere, which he was able to fix after it sustained a 5-inch-wide dent earlier this year, the third time it has been damaged since its installation in 2011.
"I take it personally because I designed and built the piece," Dubin said.

Eric Karabell (11:01 AM)
Hello everyone and welcome to another fantasy sports chat session... lots to get to today. A certain Hall of Fame QB retired Tuesday. That's big news. Spring training has started. So ... any questions?
Nick (Greenwich, CT)
Hey Eric! What's your number one fantasy rule when it comes to Baseball?
Eric Karabell (11:02 AM)
Enjoy yourself. It's a game, both baseball and fantasy. I have strategy things I like to follow, but if I'm not enjoying the league or the game, then what's the point? There are enough things in life to sweat about...
Scott, IA
Hey Eric what are you projections for the Upton brothers for this year and the future? I have both in a 12 team dynasty league.
Eric Karabell (11:04 AM)
I think the older one, B.J., is on his way to a 25/25 season, but I do not expect him to bat .300, let's put it that way. Still, a great player when you throw in 2B eligibility. As for Justin Upton, I don't think he's ready. I project some time in the minor leagues and a low batting average. In 2 years, watch out.
joseph baltimore
Eric, Keeper total points league just got offered David Wright for Peavy i have to accept right?
Eric Karabell (11:05 AM)
No matter the format of the league, yes, you have to accept, fast.
Todd, San Diego
Eric, Is anyone more undervalued than Jeremy Hermida? ESPN has him 49th among OF's, but I feel a year like Markakis' 2007 is very much in reach for him.
Eric Karabell (11:06 AM)
I concur, especially since the Marlins might bat Hermida No. 3 in the order, a perfect spot for him to get to 25-100. He might not run very much, but then again, there's no guarantee Markakis is going to do that again. Hermida is a steal there.
Brian (Boston)
Eric, I just drafted my team last night and my draft did not go as planned. Please tell me that my young outfield of Cory Hart, Matt Kemp, Josh Hamilton and Justin Upton can get by.
Eric Karabell (11:07 AM)
Well, that's not bad, but it's not the safest outfield you could put together. I think Hart is a 25/25 option, and Hamilton will hit 30 home runs, so no worries there. Kemp will play, but I'd project about 20-80-15 for now. Upton could be terrific, mainly in steals, but I think he'll struggle initially.
Jim (Albany NY)
Hello Eric, Do you think Felipe Lopez will be a useful fantasy contributor this year? .270 10hr's 80 runs 70 rbis 30 steals attainable?? thanks
Eric Karabell (11:09 AM)
I'd probably take the under on all those numbers, but yes, they are attainable. He has to get into the lineup first. For now he's the backup middle infielder to Guzman and Belliard, as hard as that is to comprehend. I don't think Lopez has power, but he can steal 30 bases if he plays 150 games. Not a bad risk late.
Fresh Prince from Philly
Hello Eric, Could name a few $1 pitchers you would target in a 15 team league.
Eric Karabell (11:11 AM)
Sure, Prince. Or should I call you Fresh? How about Jon Lieber or Ryan Dempster? Randy Wolf or Mark Prior? Kenny Rogers or Jeff Suppan? Chad Gaudin or Braden Looper? I could do this for another hour. Plenty of pitching out there in deep leagues.
Patrick (Seattle, WA)
Eric, I usually hate drafting closers in my points league, but 200 players are off the board and there are some tempting alternatives. Should I gamble on Reyes, Ryan, Accardo, or CJ Wilson?
Eric Karabell (11:12 AM)
I would gamble on BJ Ryan first, because signs point to him being ready sometime in April. Get him and Accardo, you've got Toronto's saves. Texas could go in a number of directions, but Wilson might be the leading contender for now. Tough to tell.
How will Favre's retirement effect a guy like Ryan Grant fantasy-wise?
Eric Karabell (11:14 AM)
I don't think it helps, but that is not really a slight on Aaron Rodgers. Some people took my Favre spin column from Tuesday morning as a Packers hater thing. Not at all. Favre is a Hall of Famer who threw 28 touchdown passes. Do you think the Packers expect Rodgers to do this in 2008? No way. So that has to affect those around him. Grant should be a workhorse, which is good. He'll get a lot of touches. I have him early round two overall. I downgraded the wide receivers more.
Ian Kennedy or Zack Greinke as a sixth starter?? Also, looking for some cheap speed, what do you think of Carlos Gomez?? Thanks
Eric Karabell (11:15 AM)
I've actually taken Kennedy in a few leagues already. I like his upside, and his team, and think he'll make 30 starts and win 12. Greinke isn't a bad option either. In AL-only drafts, these guys aren't sixth starters, more like 4s. And yes, Gomez will run, probably 25 or more.
Given the shallow pool in AL, would u keep German for $4 or Willits for $10. Thanks EK!
Eric Karabell (11:17 AM)
Probably German. Can play second base, and if he steals 10, and Willits 20, that extra money could come in handy. I don't expect Willits to play nearly as much as he did in 2007. German should, though.
Mike (Austin, TX)
Do you see Berrian's fantasy appeal going up, down or the same with his move to the Vikes?
Eric Karabell (11:18 AM)
I think it goes up just a little, because Tarvaris Jackson throws a decent deep ball, and he's emerging, ever so slowly. I don't like the Chicago QB situation much. But let's not make Berrian a top 40 WR either.
Mark (maryland)
What are the chances Ryan Shealy gets 400+ AB this year?
Eric Karabell (11:21 AM)
There's always a chance, but I think the Royals intend to play others at first base ahead of him, notably Ross Gload and Billy Butler. Shealy should find his way to playing time, but I don't think he's the next Ryan Garko, a guy who suddenly hits 20 homers.
Eric Karabell (11:22 AM)
By the way, on the Berrian question, I meant top 20 for wide receivers. The point is you can still do better.
Steve (MA via E. Hartford)
Are spring training stats competely useless in terms of predicting a players performance this year?
Eric Karabell (11:24 AM)
Largely useless. I do look at who is running a lot, who is taking walks, some power spikes, but even the players who play the most for certain teams have no chance to make the team. I'm also looking at who is failing. If Felix Pie, for example, doesn't take a walk and hits .200, that tells me something. But Orlando Hudson could go 0-for-30 and I don't drop him in the rankings one bit.
Joe (New York)
Who do you think will be better this year Alex Gordon or Evan Longoria?
Eric Karabell (11:25 AM)
I'll take Gordon. I think he breaks out. Longoria could be a great one right away, but I likely won't be taking that chance. Others will draft him too high. I think Gordon, as today's blog will say, really emerges.
brad (harrisburg, pa)
plain and simple: andruw jones = super sleeper? judging by ESPN's projections for him, he's an enormous steal.
Eric Karabell (11:26 AM)
I think the power comes back, though it didn't really leave, and he hits about .260 or so. Basically, I could see 35-110 from him, so yes he is quite the bargain.
Jon (LA)
You obviously like Hamilton. Where do you rank him amongst all CFs? Not OFs, CFs.
Eric Karabell (11:29 AM)
Remember Jim Edmonds? That's Hamilton. Power and durability questions, can't hit lefties but still gets the numbers you need. I have Hamilton in the 9-11 range for pure center fielders, guys who will continue to play there. Like Andruw Jones and Vernon Wells. Hamilton has more upside.
Bill (home)
Who is most likely to end up first on the player rater at the end of the year besides AROD or Santana?
Eric Karabell (11:30 AM)
It's normally a starting pitcher who ends up No. 1, so I'd say Peavy and Webb have the best chance.
Scott (Albany NY)
Everyone seems to think that Dice-K will have a much better season than last years - Are you in agreement and what are your projections? Thanks
Eric Karabell (11:31 AM)
I think he'll have a similar season, and there's nothing wrong with that. I expect an ERA over 4, but 15 wins and 200 Ks.
Steve (Shelton, CT)
Which NL OF has the greatest value: Victorino, Hermida, Wilingham, Duncan or Ankiel?
Eric Karabell (11:31 AM)
Depends what you want. Victorino is a legit 10-homer, 40-steal guy, but Hermida should flirt with 25-100-10.
Phil (Cleveland)
Eric - Auction question. I will be playing in my first auction league. How do the dollar values adjust when you play in a shallow league with 8 teams?
Eric Karabell (11:33 AM)
I spend a lot more on the stars, knowing that there are fewer teams and more good players will be available late for cheap prices. If David Wright is a $40 player normally, go to $45 at least in an 8-team league. I wouldn't worry so much about prices in that format, just get whom you want.
Nate (Effingham)
Who takes over the CF job in ATL if Kotsay falters?
Eric Karabell (11:34 AM)
I don't think Kotsay will falter, but he could get hurt again. I'd think the Braves will not rush Jordan Schafer from the minors, but instead fill in the gaps and bat a guy eighth like Joe Borchard or Omar Infante there.
Zac, Boston
Eric, would you protect Kemp or Hawpe?
Eric Karabell (11:37 AM)
I would go with Hawpe, who is safer and could be better even if Kemp gets 500 at-bats. Kemp is being overdrafted. Sure, he should be good, but Hawpe already is good.
Michael (Tucson, AZ):
Last time before I go, I promise. Late round speed, who do you like or are they all about the same: R. Willits, Jerry Owens, or R. Davis (SF)? I drafted Davis but then dropped him for Owens.
Eric Karabell (11:38 AM)
Owens is going to play, and he really could steal 40 bases kind of easily. Doesn't need more than 400 at-bats to do it. He could platoon with Carlos Quentin, but it appears he has opportunity now.
BJ (Chicago)
here's the thing though Eric, if you project Jones at 260/35/110, how does that make him the 137th ranked player. That doesn't make sense. I bet those projected numbers don't have 136 guys better than that
Eric Karabell (11:39 AM)
Jones is in my top 100, quite easily.
Hey Eric, would you trade Michael Young for Felix Hernandez?...I still have Tejada and Perralta..
Eric Karabell (11:40 AM)
Yeah, why not? I'm not the biggest Young fan, though what he does, he certainly does well. I do think Felix takes strides this season.
Sull (South Boston)
What are your thoughts on Manny Parra?
Eric Karabell (11:41 AM)
Strikeout lefty hasn't been able to stay healthy, and could steal some starts if Gallardo is on the DL. I don't think Gallardo goes on the DL, though. Parra probably gets stuck in middle relief, and is a fill-in guy. I like the upside, but there's no opportunity yet.
Brett (Bolingbrook)
I notice Joey Gathright is running alot this spring, does he have an everyday starting job? Good late round grab for steals?
Eric Karabell (11:42 AM)
Yeah, he just had a 3-steal game, which is always nice. Of course, a year ago he was getting caught as much as he was successful. I think the Royals realize this is not a great player, but as a fourth outfielder he should swipe 20 or so. If it's a late-round grab, sure.
MJ (edmonton)
Is this the year Bush finally cashes in on his strong peripheral stats and posts an ERA around 3.90, with a WHIP around 1.15?
Eric Karabell (11:44 AM)
I'm past projecting this for Dave Bush, because he always seems to mess something up and I think the Brewers are losing patience with him and might convert him to relief at some point. But yes, based on the peripheral numbers, he should have an eventual breakout. I'm no longer counting on it for any year soon though.
Jon (Boston)
What type of season do you think Granderson will have? Has he hit his ceiling?
Eric Karabell (11:44 AM)
Not at all. I think he can run more if he so chooses, and eventually he will learn how to at least hit a little against lefties. He could be 30/30 with a decent batting average soon.
Patrick (Seattle, WA)
Speaking of Bush, do you happen to know what his BABIP was last year? For someone who can strike people out, he seems to get hit a lot.
Eric Karabell (11:45 AM)
I know. He seemed, statistically, to be really unlucky. But remember, BABIP doesn't always even out. A guy can just continue to be unlucky. I'd think better infield and outfield defense will really help Bush.
Eric, what do you think about Michael Bourn?
Eric Karabell (11:47 AM)
I think the Phillies made the right move in sending him away, because he'll be overmatched as a starter. He will run, though, so fantasy owners are going to think he's a star, but he's a Jerry Owens type who steals bags, that's it. If you want a 30-steal guy, go for it.
Todd, San Diego
Eric, Hiroki Kuroda has pitched very well so far. Do you see him as a guy who could be a great value as a late pick or $1 player?
Eric Karabell (11:47 AM)
I see him as more than a dollar guy, an innings eater with an ERA around 4 and 12 wins, at the least. Looks like a good value pick to me.
Ted (Philly)
How much are you hoping the rumored Larry Fitzgerald to the Eagles trade comes to fruition? What would that do to his value?
Eric Karabell (11:48 AM)
It would be nice. I don't think it changes his value much, but it helps the Eagles. I don't see Arizona parting with him.
Josh (San Diego)
Is Chase Headley worth a late round pick in a dynasty league?
Eric Karabell (11:48 AM)
Absolutely. In fact, I did exactly that in my dynasty league a few days ago!
Jon (Grand Rapids, MI)
What is it with people?s love for Bush?Dave that is? I had never seen him pitch prior to last year and was sucked into drafting him by internet hype. Then I watch his first start of the 2007 season and after the first pitch wonder what I was doing. He holds the ball in his hand for the batter to see way before the pitch is even close to being released. Talk about lack of deception. How the heck is he suppose to succeed with that delivery? Not to mention his fast ball is as straight as an arrow.
Eric Karabell (11:50 AM)
Plain and simple, he finished seventh in ALL of baseball with a 1.13 WHIP in 2006. His career WHIP is 1.25. We're not just making stuff up on Dave Bush, he should be better than he is. Who knows if that actually happens though.
Jack (Pitt)
How early should Figgins go in an OBP league where he has 2b eligibility?
Eric Karabell (11:50 AM)
I never peg someone in a certain round, but I'd be more apt to take Figgins if he had that elig and OBP counted. Certainly in the top 50.
Howard (Duckford)
Is Hanley a "risky" pick at number 2? Seems like Wright is a safer pick but Hanley has more upside. Am I correct about that?
Eric Karabell (11:51 AM)
In theory you are correct, but I don't see him as a risky pick. They're all risky, to a degree. Wright could decide to steal 14 bases instead of 30, for example. I don't have too many concerns with Hanley.
Ben (Santa Barbara, CA
How would a trade to the Cubs affect Brian Roberts fantasy value in 2008?
Eric Karabell (11:52 AM)
I don't think it means much. He'll still steal 40 bases, he'll still score runs. People want to bump him up a lot if this deal happens, but I think he is who he is.
Roger (Hobbs NM)
Projections for Corey Patterson? Seems like Dusty Baker loves him....
Eric Karabell (11:53 AM)
No guarantees on Patterson, but I will say the fact he's on the Reds now is not a good sign for Jay Bruce. This guy starts in the minors unless Griffey is hurt. Patterson might get to lead off, which is kind of atrocious knowing his past OBPs.
John (NY)
In the first spring training game, Pujols had more HR (1) than all last spring. Any chance the elbow thing is exaggerated?
Eric Karabell (11:54 AM)
Doesn't mean a thing. And yes, it is exaggerated. Bottom line on Pujols is he can hit through the elbow problem, but might choose surgery if the Cards really stink. That's it. I'm still taking him in round one, so I guess I tipped my hand on what I think!
Jeff (Charlotte, NC)
Eric, you seem to like Hermida, is he a better option than Cuddyer this year? I was hoping he'd hit his 2006 numbers again.
Eric Karabell (11:55 AM)
I would take Hermida over Cuddyer. Similar power for both I guess, but Hermida has the brighter future and can run if he wants.
John (Park City, Utah)
More importantly, how would a Brian Roberts trade impact Markakis?
Eric Karabell (11:56 AM)
It won't. People make a big deal about reverse lineup protection. Hanley will be just fine without Cabrera. Markakis will still knock in runs without Roberts. Means nothing to me. Their teams might stink, but Markakis hitting third knocks in 100 runs no matter what.
Ton (Queens)
Eric: Bedard or Zambrano. Thanks!!
Eric Karabell (11:57 AM)
Bedard gets more K's, so he's the choice, but deep down I worry about each of these guys staying healthy.
Joan (Silver Creek)
Speaking of OBP leagues, how do you think the first round changes in a league that uses OBP instead of average?
Eric Karabell (11:58 AM)
I don't think it changes round one much, but it makes mid-round picks like Dunn, Thome, etc. look a lot better.
Rick (NY)
What do you see out of Adam Jones and Brandon Wood this year?
Eric Karabell (11:58 AM)
Breakouts for both, especially Wood if the Angels wise up and let him play short.
Brad (Philly)
Tampa Bay Lightning round! Garko, Gordon, Helton, or Loney at 1B?
Eric Karabell (11:59 AM)
Gordon, Helton, Loney and then Garko.
Eric Karabell (12:00 PM)
OK, time to fly. There's another chat later on with that stolen base lover AJ Mass. Check it out! Adios...

CSC396Y0 Designing Systems for Real-World Problems
Human Centred Design results in robust solutions that successfully address real human problems. Summer Abroad provides students with an opportunity to explore new environments, which improves their ability to see their own world with increased sensitivity
and germinates new design ideas. In this course, students will identify a real-world problem and work in groups on projects addressing this problem. Students will explore their problem space and the people within that space, identify needs, constraints and requirements, and ultimately design solutions. Their designs will be iterated by gathering feedback and usability testing the early prototypes. The course projects will culminate with development of a technological solution that addresses the identified problem. Final project presentations will take place at the end of the course. Not eligible for CR/NCR.
Prerequisites:any Computer Science half course; BR=5
CSC396Y0 Preliminary Course outline
Field Trips: Students will travel to Wolfsburg Germany, where they will visit the Volkswagen Factory at Autostadt and the Science Museum the following day.

GER354Y0 Berlin between East and West
Both geographically and culturally, Berlin is a city situated between East and West. This division was most visible after World War II, when a wall literally split the city into two. Yet long before the Berlin Wall was erected, Berlin's metropolitan character was shaped by migration from Eastern Europe. Since reunification, the presence of Berlin's Turkish community, along with other migrant groups, has left a major imprint on the city. This course will explore the East-West duality that has defined Berlin since the late 19th century through literature, film and popular culture. The course is divided chronologically and thematically into three sections: 1) The Haul to the West, 2) A Tale of Two Cities and 3) Between Orient and Occident. Not eligible for CR/NCR option.
Prerequisites: none
Recommended Preparation:100-level HIS/ POL/GER course/International or European Studies
GER354Y0 Preliminary Course Outline
Field Trips: This course will incorporate visits to numerous neighbourhoods and museums in Berlin and an excursion to Leipzig. The cost of the trips is CAD$245, paid to U of T for return transportation, some entry fees and guided tours.

He received his PhD from the Ohio State University with a dissertation on the history of Turkish-German theater and political cabaret. Erol collaborates frequently with the Goethe Institut of Toronto and has taught internationally at the Freie Universität, the University of New Mexico and the Goethe Institut in Thessaloniki, Greece. He is currently writing his first German fantasy novel.
POL300Y0 Contested Boundaries: Immigration, Citizenship, and Multiculturalism in Germany and Europe
Immigration and the integration of newcomers are among the most politically contested issues in Europe today. Using primarily the German experience as a case study, this course examines the historical evolution and current policies and practices of immigration and integration to critically engage with questions of citizenship, belonging, diversity and multiculturalism in present-day Europe. Students will learn about the history of immigration to Western Europe after World War II; the political tension between cultural pluralism and national identity; policies and practices of immigrant integration, citizenship and
multiculturalism at the local, national and supra-national level; the rise of anti-immigrant and anti-refugee populism; and social movements resisting racism and social exclusion. Students will have multiple opportunities to critically engage with the political response to the current refugee crisis in Europe.
Prerequisites: 1.0 POL credit or relevant academic preparation; BR=3

Returning to the Columbia County Merchants Association's fair after a one-year absence is the Seattle Wheel, the only replica of the original Seattle Wheel built for the 1962 World's Fair.
Other features this year include chainsaw carver Brian Ruth's nightly demonstrations, creating carvings that will be sold in a fundraiser auction Nov. 10.
Saturday voting is being held at three sites today in Columbia County after two weeks of what election officials believe was very strong early voting turnout.
At of the end of voting Friday, 11,008 voters had cast ballots for the general election, said Columbia County Registration Coordinator Nancy Gay. Before the polls opened at 9 a.m. today, voters already were queuing up outside the Board of Elections office in Evans.
"Our line is around the building - to the Procument (Department) door," Gay said.
Viewers each week in record numbers tune in to the AMC television series The Walking Dead to see survivors fighting zombies.
On Saturday at Fort Gordon, race participants will run from zombies.
Registration is underway for the Zombie 5K, a "haunted trail" run through wooded areas of Fort Gordon sponsored by the Fort Gordon Morale, Welfare and Recreation program. It costs $35, and runners receive a T-shirt, along with a beverage ticket and free admission to the Apocalypse Party that follows the race.
Privately operated Martinez-Columbia Fire Rescue soon is expected to turn over operations to the Columbia County government.
The department's board of directors voted on the change Wednesday night after preliminary discussions with county officials, said board Chairman Wayne Kent.
"We look at it as a very positive step forward for the fire department," Kent said, adding that nothing is expected to change in terms of salaries and staffing.
Early voting for this year's general election began Monday, with voters lining up for the opportunity in Columbia County.
The Board of Elections office, in Building E of the government complex in Evans, is open weekdays from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Based on the high number of early voters Monday, with 1,025 casting ballots, interest in the election seems high, said Registration Coordinator Nancy Gay.
The presidential election is at the top of this year's ballot, along with state Public Service Commission and congressional races.
As the political season builds to its crescendo, Georgia voters will have their first opportunity to cast a general election ballot in person on Monday.
In Columbia County, early voting takes place at the Board of Elections office, in Building E of the government complex in Evans, weekdays from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Interest in the election seems high, said Registration Coordinator Nancy Gay.

Meda outlicensed the dermatology products Elidel (pimecrolimus 1% cream) and Xerese™ (acyclovir and hydrocortisone cream) to Valeant for the U.S., Canadian, and Mexican markets, for $76 million up front. The deal follows just 24 hours after Meda confirmed renegotiating the terms of its own license to Xerese from Medivir in the same three territories, in a deal through which Medivir received $45 million in return for waiving its rights to royalty fees.
As part of the new deal with Valeant, Meda will receive a series of milestones and royalties totaling an estimated $130 million over the next 18 months, in addition to its $76 million up-front fee. The firm will also receive long-term running double-digit royalties on net sales of the topical atopic dermatitis treatment Elidel, and the cold sore creams Xerese and Zovirax® (the GlaxoSmithKline acyclovir trademark which Valeant uses under license), including minimum royalties of $120 million during the 2013-2015 period. Valeant has exclusive rights to Zovirax in the U.S. and Canada.
Meda inked a deal to acquire Elidel from Novartis for $420 million in April. At that time the firm announced it was also negotiating a deal to outlicense Elidel to Valeant. Elidel is approved and sold in more than 90 countries worldwide, and achieves annual sales of about $120 million.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?
