The Human Rights Council in its resolution 17/6, broadly defines the mandate of the Independent Expert on human rights and international solidarity as the promotion of "the realization of the right of peoples and individuals to international solidarity." In order to pursue this goal, the Independent Expert is authorized inter alia "to seek views and contributions from Governments, United Nations agencies, other relevant international organizations and non-governmental organizations." The Human Rights Council reiterated its request that all States, United Nations agencies and relevant international organizations and non-governmental organizations, support the effective implementation of the mandate of the Independent Expert including through favourably responding to her requests to visit their countries in resolution 29/3.
Country visits are an important method of promoting the Independent Expert's mandate. They focus on the collection, study and observation of information, regarding the policies and actual practices of States that are relevant to the Independent Expert's mandate. Therefore, these country visits involve dialogue with national and regional governmental authorities, civil society and non-governmental organisations, academia and parliamentarians in order to seek their views and contributions regarding in particular, the experience and practice of human rights and international solidarity.
Brazil was the first country visited by the Independent Expert on human rights and international solidarity since the establishment of the mandate in 2005. During her official country visit to Brazil in June 2012, Ms. Dandan gathered information about Brazil's experiences in implementing its so-called "solidarity diplomacy" which is built upon strong commitments to human rights and social development. Brazil's initiatives on the fight against hunger, as well as agriculture and health among others, are setting a new paradigm in international development cooperation and solidarity. The country mission report was presented at the 24th session of the Human Rights Council in September 2013.
The Independent Expert will undertake her second country mission to Morocco in January 2016.

Participants who complete a registered course conducted under MU FRTI guidelines will have the contact hours for that course added to their MU FRTI student record and the course will appear on their official transcript.
A Registered Program administrative fee of $350.00 per class will be assessed.
Registered Program Requirements:
- Instructors must hold and maintain certification by the Missouri Division of Fire Safety at the minimum level of Fire Service Instructor I in order to participate. (If you are not affiliated with a Missouri Fire Department, this requirement can be waived)

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jan 01st, 2004
Running Time: 106
Director: Ed Hunter
Company: Third World Media
Distribution Companies: Latin Eyes
Cast: Marcela, Bianca (I), Cibele, Diana (I), Anita (I), Sharon (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
One of the better series of youthful Latin women; this does not disappoint.
Fans of natural, young Latina lovelies will relish this tape. Five scenes, six gals, and plenty of hot-blooded action make a fine variety. If you like 'em young and naturally busty, there is cute Marcela, whose sexy shower makes her all nice and squeaky-clean for the dirty-minded hombre who spends the duration of their quality time together fondling tits and ass (both of which are suburb pieces of anatomy) and finishing with some anal and a messy facial. Sharon and Anita provide the girl/girl (with toys), and an inspired threesome (with A2M) is tossed in for variety. The remainders are all couples scenes.

Oprah wasn't kidding when she said she loved the enormous Afro from her O, The Oprah Magazine September cover shoot. The media maven decided that she'd take the look to the streets -- or in this case, the red carpet -- at the New York premiere of her new film "The Butler" on Monday night.
Oprah ditched the 3.5 pound Afro wig she wore on the cover for a smaller version, which might even be her natural hair. Either way she looked fab working the red carpet -- complete with her longtime boyfriend Stedman Graham on her arm.
Meanwhile still on the mends from her dislocated shoulder, Mariah Carey stepped out wearing a black, studded sling to the premiere. The Grammy Award-winning singer really knows how to glam up an injury -- this edgy arm aid is just one of a collection of embellished slings.
Lenny Kravitz, Cicley Tyson, Andre Leon Talley and Vogue's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour were also on hand to fete the premiere, just to name a few.
Check out those folks and the rest of the stars at "The Butler" NYC premiere in the slideshow below.

>Crescent City California News, Sports, & Weather | The Triplicate
By Thea Skinner
Triplicate staff writer
Ideas flowed freely at Friday's Future Scenario Planning Session as representatives worked to identify a stance on the type of social consciousness that will drive the county toward economic prosperity.
David Beurle of Innovative Leadership Australia and Connie Loden of the Heart of Wisconsin project, assisted nearly 120 community representatives in pinpointing items to improve upon, and items that have been implemented successfully.
According to Beurle, within five years, conventional communication will be online.
He explained that two realms of consciousness exist: Contextual, including the dynamics of culture, vision, and environment; and content including practical ideas.
"Think contextually about what forces and regional trends you see that will shape the future of the county," Beurle said. "Social movement starts with a small group. We are actually ahead of the game, because we have a large group of people here."
He continued, "Your job is to shape a new culture, not be shaped by the environment you already live in."
With this in mind, the community representatives brainstormed to identify forces and trends, which were displayed on the wall on a piece of paper.
Representatives also placed circular stickers on pieces of paper to indicate how they perceive certain dynamic areas. Red stickers were placed for needing room for improvement and blue stickers were placed for being successful.
The majority results in each catagory were:
ÂEvidence of a strong community pride  Red
ÂWillingness to seek help from outside  Blue
ÂInvest in the future built to last  Red
ÂCommunities are self-reliant  Red
ÂParticipatory approach to community decision making  Red
ÂCreatively build new economic opportunities  Red
ÂStrong presence of traditional institutions integral to the community  Blue
ÂSupport local business  Red
ÂDeliberate transition of power to new leaders  Red
ÂStrong belief in support for education  Blue
"When things do not go right in communities like yours, people do what they do best instead of being innovative," Beurle said.
He urged the community to conduct surveys on who shops locally to "help connect the dots" on the pieces of paper.
"No one is coming to save you. There are more than enough smart people here to create an environment in which the things we want will flourish," Beurle said.
Representatives in attendance also identified 20 top forces, or drivers, that will lead the community toward economic prosperity. They are:
ÂSustainable and renewable energy
ÂTransportation infrastructure and multi-modal transportation linkages
ÂVisual appeal of the community
ÂQuality healthcare
ÂProfessional job development
ÂSupport of local business
ÂRegional image or reputation
ÂCultural inclusiveness and diversity
ÂCommunity cooperation and collaboration
ÂCommunity safety
ÂSmall business and entrepreneur development
ÂBroader vocational education
ÂQuality of life: Leisure, outdoor recreation
ÂBackcountry recreation
ÂAffordable housing
ÂLeadership transition and development
ÂCollaboration with local tribes
ÂCurbing drug abuse
In addition co-owner of Data Center West in Medford, Ore., David Hand, talked to representatives about the possibility of bringing another data center to Crescent City.
The Medford data center is 10 blocks from the Charter Communications facility providing broadband Internet to Crescent City. The Charter Communications facility has created several Internet outages for locals in the past two months.
He explained that he wants to bring a data center here to house all business' IT servers, and provide more technology to the community. But he needs the infrastructure in place to do that.
"I come here for personal interest. I am intrigued by the beauty," Hand said.
He stressed that the community can create an "anchor tennent to put dollars into supporting such infrastructure."
Like Beurle, Hand is trying to provide another means to assist the community toward economic prosperity.
"I try to paint that ideal situation, so people can see the possibilities," he said.

We show that disjointness requires randomized communication Omega(n1/(k+1)/22 k) in the general k-party number-on-the-forehead model of complexity. The previous best lower bound was Omega (log n/k-1). By results of Beame, Pitassi, and Segerlind, this implies 2n Omega(1) lower bounds on the size of tree-like Lovasz-Schrijver proof systems needed to refute certain unsatisfiable CNFs, and super-polynomial lower bounds on the size of a broad class of tree-like proof systems whose terms are degree-d polynomial inequalities for d=log log n-O(log log log n). To prove our bound, we develop a new technique for showing lower bounds in the number-on-the-forehead model which is based on the norm induced by cylinder intersections. This bound naturally extends the linear program bound for rank useful in the two-party case to the case of more than two parties, where the fundamental concept of monochromatic rectangles is replaced by monochromatic cylinder intersections. Previously, the only general method known for showing lower bounds in the unrestricted number-on-the-forehead model was the discrepancy method, which is limited to bounds of size O(log n) for disjointness. To analyze the bound given by our new technique for the disjointness function, we build on an elegant framework developed by Sherstov in the two-party case and Chattopadhyay in the multi-party case which relates polynomial degree to communication complexity. Using this framework we are able to obtain bounds for any tensor of the form F(x1,...,xk)=f(x1Lambda...Lambdaxk) where f is a function which only depends on the number of ones in the input.

Read an Excerpt
Lady Emily Carroll wished with all her might that the polished parquet floor beneath her satin slippers would open up and pull her down into the fiery pits of hell.
It would be far preferable to Lady Orman's ball.
Emily hid behind a bank of towering potted palms, the silk-papered wall at her back as she peered between the green fronds at the crowd. Lady Orman's rout was the invitation of the Season. Everyone who was anyone at alland a few nobodies who managed to slip by the footmenwas gathered in the sparkling ballroom. Thousands of candles cast their light over the sheen of fine silk, the glitter of sapphires and rubies, and the snap of lace fans.
It was quite the "dreadful crush" that every London hostess longed for. The dance floor was swirling with the patterns of a country dance, while thickets of people packed around its edges to laugh and chatter and stare. Their voices blurred into a high-pitched, echoing cacophony where no words could be made out at all.
Not that it mattered, Emily thought. No one came to such a gathering for rational conversation. They came to be seen, to have everyone know they were important enough to be invited to Lady Orman's ball. They paid a great deal of money to the modiste and the hairdresser in order to pack themselves into a ballroom like a tight row of salted fish. To have their hems trod on, their ringlets wilted in the heat, their throats made raw from shouting at one another.
And for what? For the dubious pleasure of having their names in the papers? "Mr and Mrs Whos-it were seen attending Lady Orman's ball "
Emily sighed. There were surely many more useful, not to say more pleasant, things to do with one's time. But her parents and her brother Robert seemed to enjoy it.
She stood on tiptoe, peering through the palms to see her brother dancing with his new wife, Amy. They were laughing as they spun around, their faces alight with pleasure. Well, Amy did love society; she was good at being sociable, and that was all the better for Rob's fledgling political career. They were surely well matched, even if Amy's ancient-named family had not much money.
That was what Emily's parents, the Earl and Countess of Moreby, said anyway. Amy's family name, as old as their own, and her outgoing personality were fine assets, and a good excuse for letting Rob marry where he chose.
Besides, they would add, with sidelong glances at Emily herself, Emily will make our fortune. She is bound to marry very well!
Except that Emily had been a terrible disappointment to them thus far. She had not come close to marrying a title or a fortune. Or marrying anyone at all. And now the Season was almost over.
She instinctively raised her hand to nervously chew at her thumbnail, before she remembered she wore silk gloves. Her hand fell back to her side, tucked into the folds of her silver-embroidered white silk skirts. When, oh, when would that floor open up already?
The whole evening, the noise, the heat, the smell of melting candles and a hundred perfumes, bore down on her like an anvil. Soon, she would have to leave her little palmy sanctuary and join her parents. They would want to find her a partner for the next dance. That was what she did at every ball, let them match her up with rich lordsboth young, spotty ones and old, portly ones let them extol her beauty and goodness while she stood there with her cheeks on fire.
It was the least she could do, after she disappointed them so greatly last summer. They had gone to the house party at the notorious Welbourne Manor with the intention of matching up Emily with the new Duke of Manning, Nicholas.
Oh, they did not say so explicitly, of course, but it was obvious in their nervous preparations for the party. In all their words to her about how handsome Nicholas was, how great a friend his father had been to the Carrolls.
And she not only had been unable to attach the duke, she had scarcely been able to talk to him. She was always shy around men, of course, but there was something about him that terrified her. He was always most kind and polite, yet every time she looked into his beautiful sky-blue eyes her throat closed, and she felt that ridiculous burning blush spread over her whole body.
And then she saw his affable smile turn puzzled, and felt him withdraw from her. That was a relief of sorts. He and his family were so very exuberant, so full of fun and frivolity, while she was so quiet and serious. They would not be a good match at all, if only her parents could see that! Such a mouse as her would never fit into such a dashing family, and it was better not to even try.
Since that house party and Rob's marriage that autumn, her parents' matchmaking efforts had taken on a desperate edge, even as paintings and ornaments began disappearing from their house.
"She is so very beautiful!" Emily overheard her mother wail one day. "Quite ten times prettier than any other young lady this Season. Why can she not bring us a single suitable offer?"
"There was Mr Browning," her father tentatively suggested.
"A merchant." Her mother sniffed. "With seven children."
"He is a wealthy man," her father said.
"Surely we are not in such straitened circumstances that we must bestow our daughter on a tradesman."
"Not yet," her father muttered, as Emily fled in order to not hear any more. The fact that Mr Browning was in trade did not bother her, but the seven children rather did. Plus he was twenty years older than her, and had such sweaty, grasping hands.
Unlike Nicholas, whose long, elegant fingers had clasped hers once to help her into a carriage. Yet they were both such unsuitable men for her, in their own ways. And surely her parents would not force her to marry someone she didn't care for, if they knew what had happened with Mr Lofton that time..
"I don't mean to be a disappointment," she whispered. If not for her wretched shyness, the way her mind went all blank and her throat closed up whenever she met a stranger.
"I say, the quality of the gatherings this Season have been very poor indeed," a man said, close enough to her hiding place that she could hear the actual words and not just an indistinct hum.
"I agree," his companion said in a bored drawl. "Lady Orman could once be relied upon to host only the cream of the ton. Now she seems to let in anyone at all."
Emily peered past the green fronds again to see Lord Barrington and Mr Fraser, two thoroughly useless dandies. She had once endured a dance with Lord Barrington, as he prattled on to her about a new way to tie a cravat or some such thing. She had no desire to listen to his gossip now, but she could see no way to slip past them. She was trapped.
"If this continues, I shall have to go see if there are more quality amusements to be had in Brighton," said Mr Fraser. "Or even abroad. Even the wine tonight is most insipid."
"I stood over there and watched the ladies pass by for an hour," Lord Barrington said, gesturing toward one of the walls with his quizzing glass. "I counted only ten that were tolerable, and only two who were truly pretty."
"Oh? Who were they, then?"
"Mrs Featherstone and Viscountess Granton," said Lord Barrington, mentioning Amy.
"True, none can match Lady Granton for beauty. She is quite the Toast. But what of her sister-in-law, Lady Emily Carroll? She is reckoned to be mightily pretty at my club."
Lord Barrington gave a contemptuous snort. "She is undoubtedly pretty, with that pale hair and white skin.
But a veritable icicle. She can't seem to bring herself to say three words to anyone, just stares at you with those cold, dismissive green eyes. At my club, she is called the Ice Princess, and we wager on which poor, desperate fool will marry her by the end of the Season. The winner thus far is Mr Rayburn. Undoubtedly, the marriage bed will mean the freezing off of his."
Whatever crude word he was going to say dissolved into their snickers. Emily pressed her hands to her face, wishing more than ever that the floor would swallow her and she could vanish! She didn't feel like an "ice princess" in the least. Indeed, she felt as if her whole body was on fire with shame.
She longed to cry, to curl up and disappear, never to come to a hateful ball again.
But she was not a Carroll for nothing. Her family might not be wealthy any longer, but they certainly had a long, proud history. They had faced the Tower under Henry VIII, poverty during the Civil War, riotous parties with Charles II, and her own grandfather, a terrible gambler who had to flee to France twice to avoid creditors and angry husbands. Two giggling fops could not best her, even as she ached with embarrassment.
Emily smoothed her skirts, tucked her silvery hair back into its beaded bandeau, and stiffened her shoulders. There was nothing she could do about the hot colour in her cheeks, but she held her head high as she swept out from her hiding place and past the two men.
She might have laughed about the astonished looks on their faces, if she hadn't been so determined to get away.
Through that sheer determination, she made her way through the press of the crowd, avoiding her mother as she hurried out the double doors into the anteroom.
There were still people there, drinking the "insipid" wine, but they paid her no attention as she hurried into the corridor.
Emily drew in a shaky breath, rubbing hard at her hot cheeks. Now that it was a bit quieter, her nerves not so jangled, she knew she had to get away, even if only for a moment. She needed to be alone, to breathe some fresh air.
Not sure where exactly she was going, she dashed down the curving staircase. When they arrived at the ball, that sweep of marble and gilt was packed tightly with revellers, waiting their turn to enter the ballroom, calling out greetings to each other and loudly admiring one another's attire. Now, it was blessedly deserted; the candles sputtered low to cast dim, shifting shadows on the walls.
Gradually, the cacophony of the party faded, and Emily could hear only the whisper of her slippers on marble as she ran down the stairs. The swish of her skirt. The pounding of her heart.
So intent was she on escape that she didn't see the man at the foot of the stairs until his silhouette suddenly shifted on the white wall. Startled by the movement, Emily lost her footing on the bottom step. Her stomach lurched as her feet slid out from under her, ripping her hem and pitching her towards the cold stone floor.
She cried out, flinging her hands in front of her to catch herself. But she didn't collide with painful, unyielding stone.
She fell against a warm, well-muscled chest, arms wrapping around her to lift her up safely into the air. Shocked, Emily clung to her rescuer's shoulders, her heart racing.
"Lady Emily!" he said, his voice deep, roughly out of breath. "Are you hurt?"
She stared down at him in the fading light, the red-orange glow playing over his golden hair, the lean, elegant angles of his sharp cheekbones and knife-blade nose. His blue eyes, those eyes she remembered so well from last summer, were narrowed with concern.
Nicholas, the Duke of Manning. Of course. He did always seem to see her at her worst.
And being pressed so very close to him, alone in that half-light, had her far more flustered and frightened than any mean-spirited gossip. He smelled so delightful, of lemony cologne and clean starch, a faint tang of sweet smoke, as if he had sneaked away for a cigar. And how strong he was, she thought irrationally. He held her up as if she weighed no more than a snowflakeor an icicle.
Did he think her an icicle, too? A cold, unfeeling princess? That seemed to be the general consensus, and surely in his voluble family she would seem so even more.
That shouldn't make her feel sad, yet it did.
"I am quite unhurt," she managed to murmur. "Thanks to you, your Grace."
He smiled up at her, a bright, merry grin that reminded her of that house party. Of his laughing, teasing, romping family, and how she so wanted to be a part of all that fun. She just didn't know how, and she probably never would.
"Well, that's my duty at these routs, you know," he said. "To stand about waiting to rescue fair damsels in distress."
"You're very good at it, I'm sure," Emily said. What damsel wouldn't dream of being rescued by him? If she was a different sort of female, she surely would. He was handsome and charming and Very Ducal. And such a man would never be interested in an awkward lady like herself.
"You can put me down now, your Grace," she whispered.
Nicholas glanced down, seeming surprised to find that he still held her close to him, suspended in his arms as if he held her above the mundane, everyday world. Slowly, he lowered her to her feet, her body sliding along his. The sensation of that strange, delicious friction of silk against wool made her sway dizzily, her head spinning.
"You are hurt," he said, his voice concerned. "Here, sit down on this step, Lady Emily. Did you turn your ankle?"
Emily let him help her sit down on the marble she had just slipped from, smiling at him weakly. "Oh, no. It was just the heat in the ballroom ."
"Wretched, isn't it?" he said, sitting down beside her as if he had all the time in the world. "I nearly fainted myself."
She almost laughed aloud. Surely he had never fainted in his life! He glowed with robust good health and vibrant energy, as if he could conquer all the world and still have strength for a dance and to rescue a maiden or two.
"It's quite irrational how these hostesses cram so many people into their ballrooms," he said. "One can scarcely even move, let alone have a good conversation with friends."
"If you can even find your friends at all."
"Exactly so," he agreed. "At routs such as this, I'm sure I know scarcely a quarter of the guests."
"Well, I'm sure they all know you," Emily said.
He gave her a quizzical glance. "How on earth could they? I haven't even met half of them."

Back Exercises: Sculpt a Healthy Back (cont.)
The "show" muscles, as Cotton calls them -- chest, biceps, and shoulders -- tend to get our attention because they are the ones we see and show to the world.
Life Is Hard on the Back
But just the nature of daily living tends to tighten the front of the body, leaving the upper back weak and overstretched, he says.
"We spend a fair amount of our day at computer keyboards," he says.
There's no back work in that. Besides that, without the strength of the core -- the abdominals and the lower back -- posture suffers and lower back pain ensues. Abdominal strength is essential to back strength. You cannot have one without the other.
"If you're only working the abs or only working the back," says Cotton, "you're only doing half the job."
Weakness or tightness in other muscles can pull the back out of alignment as well, says Calabrese, including the hamstrings (back of the thighs) or hip flexors.
Since the back tends to be prone to injury, Cotton says to work back muscles no more than three times a week, being sure to include a rest day in between. He advises beginners to proceed very slowly when strengthening the back, particularly the lower back. Start by trying to complete only five repetitions, he says, wait a day, and be sure you don't experience any discomfort or pain.
It's About More Than Big Muscles
Strength training alone is not enough when it comes to a healthy back.
"It is important to stretch every day," says Calabrese.
As we age, without a balance of strength and stretching, we tend to develop poor posture, she says, which encourages injury as well as making us look and feel weaker, older, and heavier.
Stretching should include a flexion and extension of the spine. For flexion, sit with your knees bent, butt on your heels and arms out in front of you (child's pose in yoga). For extension, place your hands on your lower back for support and gently arch, tightening your abdominals for support.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – State Rep. Curry Todd, a retired Memphis police officer who has pleaded guilty to drunken driving and gun charges, is speaking out against Gov. Bill Haslam's proposal to keep retired law enforcement officers with DUI convictions from being able to carry firearms in public.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The House passed a bill Monday to impose a cap on liquor store ownership in Tennessee, sending the measure that some Republicans derided as contrary to free market principles to Gov. Bill Haslam's desk.
Democratic state Rep. Mike Stewart lives on the front lines of the Tennessee General Assembly. As chairman of the House Democratic Caucus with 26 members, Stewart could employ a bunker mentality, but instead has chosen to take the fight to the other side of the aisle.
Josie Mae Mathes had her first birthday recently, but because she suffers from childhood epilepsy and infantile spasms, she's so medicated she can barely move.
NASHVILLE (AP) – The House has passed a bill that would seal most handgun carry permit records in Tennessee.
The chamber voted 84-10 on Monday in favor of the bill sponsored by Republican Rep. William Lamberth of Gallatin. The bill would block all public access unless a requester presents evidence that permit holders had been charged or convicted of a crime making them ineligible to carry firearms.

I picked Bountiful to pull the upset here, boy do I stand corrected. Great game of pure dominance by the Mustangs. It will be fun to see you at RES, not just next week but in the championship against T-View or East, I am going to say Mountain Crest vs. Timpview in an great game. Good Luck Mustangs!!!

Great pick but I'd say East is just to good this year. Hope MC can get past the semi's and wins the title. I'm just not sure Timpview has the man power to beat East.

Umm, did you not remember East getting whipped by Logan? Am I the only one that hasn't forgotten that? 51-34. They are not too good. That's a huge loss for a supposedly unstoppable team. Meanwhile, Timpview went and squashed Logan, 49-14. Get your facts straight. There's no way that East will beat Timpview.

Do you not remember that Logan got beat out of the playoffs? Or that Provo (where you are from) is so bad they can't make it. Best in the state and they've made it farther than the team that beat them at season's end. It'll be a good game either way. No matter who win's it's a garentee that we will see a good game. I'm just stating my opinion. Again Logan isn't around anymore so that proves East is the better team.

I am from Provo, but remember... there's another team from Provo as well. TIMPVIEW. That's my school. Logan got beat out by TIMPVIEW. Logan beat East, TIMPVIEW beat Logan. Have you checked stats of East against TIMPVIEW? Anyway, we'll just let the boys settle it on Friday. Triple AAA guarantee: ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. ;)

Released: Jul 01st, 1996
Running Time: 80, 80
Director: Max Bellocchio
Company: Brick House Entertainment
Cast: Star Trek, Franco Cini, Yvonne McKinnon, Daniele Bolla, Giancarlo Bini, Ralf Scott, Richard Voissis, Venus (I), Babette, Marcello Fusi, Philip, Lynn LeMay, Patrizia Roversi, Beatrice Valle, Carolyn Monroe, Sally Svenson, Don Fernando, Alain Patansan, Joceline, Angela Verdi
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: All-Sex
In contrast to typical European offerings, Vol. 5 offers lots of American stars (whose voices are dubbed in Italian). Among the highlights are Carolyn Monroe, who takes it anally and then standing up with one leg on her partners shoulder, and Patricia Kennedy, who is in fine form as she takes it in both holes simultaneously.
The sex in Vol. 6, which features an all-European cast, is more even, though there aren't any standouts and there's no anal. On balance, both volumes are about even, but fans of new faces will lean toward Vol. 6.

Most Helpful
These were great, I had never thought to beer batter chicken until my husband requested it. I used Alton Brown's chicken seasoning recipe instead of parsley/salt & pepper. Thank you for the recipe!
Great recipe, easy, basic. I used chicken breasts pounded flat and added a fair bit of coarse ground black pepper to the batter, and it came out great. Even our 11 year old son who hates everything admitted that it was "good."
This was very good and easy, thanks for sharing.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
How We Hear
Topic Overview
The sounds we hear are the result of vibrations of air, fluid, and solid materials in our environment. The vibrations produce sound waves, which vibrate at a certain speed (frequency) and have a certain height (amplitude). The vibration speed of a sound wave determines how high or low a sound is (pitch). The height of the sound wave determines how loud the sound is (volume).
Hearing is the result of these sound waves traveling through the ear and being converted into nerve impulses that are sent to the brain, which "hears" them.
- Sound waves enter the ear through the ear canal (external ear) and strike the eardrum (tympanic membrane), which separates the ear canal and the middle ear.
- The eardrum vibrates, and the vibrations move to the bones of the middle ear. In response, the bones of the middle ear vibrate, magnifying the sound and sending it to the inner ear.
- The fluid-filled, curved space of the inner ear, sometimes called the labyrinth, contains the main sensory organ of hearing, the cochlea. Sound vibrations cause the fluid in the inner ear to move, which bends tiny hair cells (cilia) in the cochlea. The movement of the hair cells creates nerve impulses, which travel along the cochlear (auditory, or eighth cranial) nerve to the brain and are interpreted as sound.

Gift cards and clothing top the lists of holiday shoppers this year, according to a new Harris Poll conducted for Macy's.
With back to-school season underway, many retailers are already offering deals and discounts to drive traffic to their online and brick-and-mortar stores. Staples is no different.
Kohl's, Nordstrom and Target ranked first in their categories in a new survey by Harris Interactive. The 2012 Harris Poll EquiTrend (EQ) study surveyed Americans about brands across several retail segments, revealing which brands prompted them to open their hearts—and consequently—their pocketbooks.
Target was ranked 27th on the 2012 Harris Poll Reputation Quotient study behind five notable retailers and in roughly the same position with the same score as the prior year, the market research firm announced on Monday.
A new Harris Poll EquiTrend study out this week shows Target, not Walmart, as the Value Retail Brand of the Year.

During an unprecedented attack like the one at Holey Artisan Bakery, crisis management is of utmost priority. Looking back, security forces did well to set up cordons to keep at bay meddlesome reporters. The subsequent media blackout, though late, was a good call and could feature in a standard operating procedure. In comparison with regional incidents, commandoes acted with reasonable urgency. However, medical evacuation appeared poorly managed and if not for the proximity of United Hospital, more lives may have been lost.

Share it Please
Good morning, dear readers! :D
I have a secret to share... I'm addicted to LUSH!! :O
Oh nooooo not another addiction XD. But I really like this one!
Buffy Body Butter bar:
One of the products I recently bought and love is the Buffy body butter bar. It is made with cocoa butter, shea butter, ground up bits for exfoliation (rice, almonds and adzuki beans), lavender and lemon oils (and a couple other ingredients).
This bar is amazing!! (The photo below is before any usage)
The butters moisturize your skin as the scrubby bits help to remove bumps and lumps. To use this you have a shower, step out (or turn the water off to conserve it), rub this all over any rough patches or areas you want to be very smooth, hop back into the shower (or bath) and gently rinse off the scrubby bits (don't rinse too roughly or you can remove the protective layer of oils on your skin). Afterwards you are left with smooth, soft skin. :D
Words of caution: Some people may be bothered by the film it can leave behind after use, which is due to the cocoa and shea butters. If you let it stay on your skin and wait a few hours (that is how long it takes for my skin to completely absorb it), you are left with the most silky skin which can last up until your next shower. You don't have to moisturize your body with lotions afterwards. Also, when you first use the bar it feels more smooth than rough, but when you wear down the first layers it gets reeeeally scrubby. The harder you press with this bar, the faster it disappears. You have been warned! ^-^
I love how this is a two-in-one product and I cannot recommend it enough. I have read many statements by different people saying how this dramatically helps their keratosis pilaris, so if you suffer from that I would suggest giving this bar a try.
BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask: This makes my skin look and feel amazing. It contains lime tree flowers, sweet violet leaf infusion, kaolin, honey, dried almonds, bladderwrack seaweed, organic aloe vera gel, millet flakes, extra virgin olive oil, fresh rose petals, rose absolute, patchouli and rosemary oils, seaweed absolute, and a few other ingredients.
It is an extremely refreshing and relaxing mask (especially since you have to keep it in the fridge due to the lack of preservatives and the use of really fresh ingredients) which leaves my skin incredibly smooth. It also makes my skin look more even in tone. Would I buy this again? Definitely!! :D
So far I have something positive to say about every product I have tried.
What are your thoughts on Lush products (rants and raves) and do you have any product suggestions?
Take care my friends! :)
(P.S., Oh, and here is my Superbowl mani:
Had to XD)
