Why I Wore Lipstick To My Mastectomy
- Air Date:
- Sitting in a strip club - the only woman there with her shirt on - Geralyn Lucas tries to blend in. She's come to make the biggest decision of her life - whether or not to get a mastectomy. Having recently graduated from journalism school and landed her dream job at "20/20," the last thing 27-year-old Geralyn expects to hear is a breast cancer diagnosis. Trying to find herself, while losing her vibrancy and her looks, Geralyn discovers a story of self-acceptance by relying on her courage, her humor and, of course, her red lipstick. It's sure to inspire all women.

Go to Previous Page: Voltage regulators for power managment
The ADP3000 is a versatile step-up/step-down switching regulator. It operates from 2 V to 12 V in the step-up mode, and up to 30 V in the step-down mode. ADP3000 has a low 500-µA operating current (with the oscillator shut off) and operates with a gated-oscillator (up to 400 kHz) to make it possible to use very small inductors and capacitors.
The functional block diagram shows the main sections of the device: The 1.245-V reference is connected to one input of the comparator; the other comparator input is from the feedback-sense terminal. The output of the comparator gates, the oscillator on/off. Hysteresis stabilizes the comparator's switching.
When the voltage at the FB pin drops below the reference voltage, the oscillator is turned on. This oscillator is set to a 2:1 mark/space ratio, with 1.7 µs ON and 0.8 µs OFF ideal for applications that need a factor of about 2 between the input voltage and the output voltage, such as +3 V to +5 V or +5 V to +12 V. All other conversion factors can be achieved, too, like +5 V to +3.3 V. The oscillator is turned OFF when the voltage Fb is higher than the reference. The fixed-voltage versions of the ADP3000 contain a precision voltage divider, as shown, so that the Fb pin can be directly connected to the output voltage; the adjustable version (used in the example of Figure 2) requires an external voltage divider to set the correct output voltage.
Another control that can shut off the output from the oscillator is, the current limit, ILIM. In this circuit, without an external resistor, the current limit is set by an internal 80-ohms resistor to 1.5-A peak current in the switch. The current in Q2 is 0.5% of the current in Q1, the power switch. When the voltage at the base of Q3 crosses 0.6 V, Q3 opens and shuts off the oscillator. Resistance added externally (R3) reduces the value of IPEAK. R3, in conjunction with the internal 80-ohms resistor, limits the current in the switch: R3 = (120 V/IPEAK A) 80 ohms. If a small inductor is used, it is necessary to limit the current to prevent saturation of the core.
As shown, the inductor is connected between the positive input voltage and the collector of the switch. Note that for an output of 3.3 V and 150 mA only 5 µH inductance is needed (currently, the smallest-physical-size inductor from Sumida is type CDH53). This is made possible by the high operating frequency of the ADP3000. The boost function is achieved by periodically connecting the inductor to ground (switch is ON), then disconnecting it again. When the switch is ON, current starts flowing from VIN to ground via the inductor. Before current through the transistor can build up substantially, the inductor is disconnected by switching the transistor OFF. Since inductor current seeks to continue flowing, it flows through the Schottky (for low dissipation) diode and gets rid of the magnetic field's stored energy by building up an increment of charge on the capacitor during the second half of each cycle. The voltage on the capacitor will be higher than the input voltage. Fb monitors this output voltage and, as described above, controls the oscillator/switching, skipping cycles when the output is too high.
When switch is ON, current starts flowing through the switch transistor via the diode into the inductor. When set to OFF, the transistor current stops flowing, but the inductor current keeps flowing, thus bringing the pin SW2 below ground. (As this point can only accept a maximum of 0.5 V, diode D1 has to be a Schottky type.) The capacitor is charged, but this time with a voltage lower than VIN. The ADP3000 used here is an adjustable type; the resistors R1 and R2 are the external voltage divider; Fb is connected at the divider point, and the nominal value of controlled output voltage is (1 + R2/R1) x 1.245 V.
A second diode, D2, not shown in the boost regulator, is needed for output voltage above 6.2 V, the maximum the switch can tolerate. D2 simply isolates high voltages from the switch.
As shown, only a few small external components are needed to use the ADP3000. Due to the high operating frequency, only very small inductors and capacitors are used, saving significant space and some cost. ADP3000 is available in an 8-lead plastic DIP or SOIC package. Pricing starts at $2.14 in 1000s.

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — The dramatic story of a drummer who pursues excellence at all costs won top honors at the Sundance Film Festival. "Whiplash" collected both audience and jury prizes for American dramatic films Saturday at the festival's awards ceremony.
Cutter Hodierne won the U.S. drama directing award for "Fishing Without Nets," a docudrama about Somali pirates produced by Brian Glazen's Mayfield-Heights-based Think Media Studios. The drama originated as a short film and won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2012. It evolved into a full-blown feature thanks to backing from Think Media and Vice, the innovative multimedia company.
You can read more about "Fishing Without Nets" and Glazen in this story by Plain Dealer Film Critic Clint O'Connor.
"Whiplash," the musical drama by writer-director Damien Chazelle, opened the independent film showcase last week and rode a wave of positive buzz throughout the 10-day event.
Chazelle made his Sundance debut last year with a short version of "Whiplash" intended to gain financial support for the feature-length film. The feature stars 26-year-old Miles Teller as an aspiring jazz drummer and veteran actor J.K. Simmons as his unforgiving instructor.
FISHING WITHOUT NETS - Trailer from mynameisCutter.com on Vimeo.
Chazelle thanked his actors "who really made this movie work." The 28-year-old filmmaker drew on his personal experiences as a member of a high school jazz band as inspiration for the film.
The documentary "Rich Hill," a coming-of-age story about the inhabitants of a tiny town in Missouri, won the jury award for U.S. documentary. The American documentary about music's healing effects on dementia, "Alive Inside: A Story of Music & Memory," won the audience award.
Actors Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally hosted the ceremony at the Basin Recreation Fieldhouse in Park City, Utah. The married couple opened with a racy, comedic introduction about how they enjoy the film festival.
"Our frenzied coitus is the stuff of legend," Mullally said, "but really there's no place we'd rather get our swerve on than right here in Park City."
The 30th Sundance Film Festival wraps on Sunday.
Other winners Saturday:
— U.S. documentary directing: "The Case Against 8."
— U.S. drama directing; "Fishing Without Nets."
— U.S. documentary cinematography: "E-Team."

Montana's Coal Export Action and the Need for an Increased Guild Presence in the Fossil Fuel Hinterlands
Montana contains over one-quarter of the coal reserves in the United States. Coal companies which are already actively mining throughout the state plan to capitalize on the growing global energy shortage by ramping up extraction, expanding rail lines to the Pacific coast, and shipping coal to Asia. The prospect of increased coal extraction and shipping has mobilized environmental activists throughout the Northwest and NLG members are supporting them every step of the way.

An animal study by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists suggests that administration of either the acellular or the whole-cell vaccine may not prevent the spread of pertussis to unvaccinated animals.
An animals study raises questions about how well pertussis vaccines prevent the spread of infection.
The United States has seen a resurgence of pertussis over the past 3 decades. Many possible explanations for this have been proposed, including pockets of vaccine refusal and reduced effectiveness of the newer acellular pertussis vaccine compared with the older whole-cell pertussis vaccine.

Faculty strike looms at Pennsylvania's 14 state-owned universities
Posted: 8:17 AM EDT Nov 03, 2012
Faculty members at Pennsylvania's 14 state-owned universities are another step closer to striking.
The Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties has scheduled a strike authorization vote.
It's set for Nov. 12, 13 and 14.
The union says a committee will meet in Harrisburg on Nov. 16 to begin counting ballots.
The move comes amid stalled contract negotiations.
There has never been a faculty strike at the state-owned schools, which include Kutztown and East Stroudsburg universities.

Easier Said
If you want to see a film that will suck the life right out of you, try this one. Making a film that does not have one single inspired moment in it -- not one thing where the viewer goes "gee, that was mildly interesting" -- would take herculean effort, because even the stupidest guy on the planet should be able to take a couple hours of film and do at least one interesting thing. Believe it: There's not one interesting moment in this entire film. Not one.
What do I mean by inspired? I mean that if you're a director and you're making your first feature film like writer/director H. Todd von Mende, you set out to make something original or, at the very least, containing a twist, however slight, on a common idea. Like "Romeo and Juliet" starring chimps; that's a twist. Of course, such a thing would probably be absolutely unbearable to watch, but you'd have to sit there and think, "you know, at least it's inspired. Who would have thought to make 'Romeo and Juliet' with chimps?"
Who, exactly, sets out to make a movie comprised of characters and lines and scenes that every person on the face of the Earth has seen more times than they can possibly count? If you took the most mundane moments ever witnessed on soap operas, combined them with most stilted lines ever uttered on infomercials and add a healthy dose of the worst acting imaginable, you still wouldn't have a film as bad as "Easier Said." The story, in a nutshell, is that a Manhattan book editor, Jack (Bo Clancey), quits his job to follow his dream of writing the great American novel and moves to Colorado where he runs his Uncle's Inn for the summer.
"Quits his job to write the great American novel" -- now there's a plot a third grader might conceive while riding to school on the short bus. It's impossible to imagine how this film got made, unless Mende spent his own money to do it. If he did, how could the people who love him not tell him, "Your script sucks gigantic monkey cock"? When I die, I shall look back upon my life and regret nothing, except for the ninety minutes I spent watching this cinematic abomination.

2016 Galway Courses
Session 1: June 19–July 8, 2016
Securing Women's and Girls' Access to Education: A Human Rights Perspective
Professor Monica Teixeira de Sousa
9:00 a.m.–10:50 a.m.
The right to an education is a basic human right and is enshrined in Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as other normative instruments of the United Nations and UNESCO. This course examines the complex law and policy issues involved in securing that right for women and girls in the face of economic, social, and cultural barriers, both abroad and in the United States. Students will be asked to consider the role that international institutions such as the World Bank currently play in either expanding or thwarting access to education. The course includes case studies from a variety of countries.
International Law and International Humanitarian Law
Professors Ray Murphy and Shane Darcy
11:00 a.m.–12:50 p.m.
This course explores contemporary issues of international law and international humanitarian law (IHL) or the law of armed conflict. It involves a brief introduction to the sources of international law, an examination of the UN Charter provisions governing the use of force, and an examination of the concept of humanitarian intervention and UN-authorized or UN-mandated peacekeeping operations. The course explores the concept, purpose, and contemporary sources of IHL; the concept of armed conflict; and the protection of civilians and the conduct of hostilities. The convention dealing with the protection of prisoners of war also is examined. The course refers to contemporary situations such as Iraq, Kosovo, and Afghanistan; draws on a number of historical examples; and includes a review of the implementation of IHL and the role of international tribunals.
Law of the Sea and Human Rights
Professor John E. Noyes
1:00 p.m.–2:50 p.m.
This course explores the intersection of two major fields of international law: the traditional law of the sea and human rights. It introduces the traditional law of the sea, including the concept of freedom of the seas; the nationality of vessels; jurisdiction over vessels; and zones of the oceans, as well as rights concerning navigation, security, environmental protection, and the conservation and management of resources. Many such issues have human rights implications. Particular attention is paid to modern piracy and the prosecution of pirates; migrants at sea, sex trafficking, and refugees; and labor conditions on vessels and international legal protections for crew members.
Irish Centre for Human Rights
Session 2: July 11–July 29, 2016
International Human Rights and Employment Law
Professor Lisa R. Freudenheim
9:00 a.m.–10:50 a.m.
This course explores key areas at the intersection of international human rights and employment law, including collective rights to organize and bargain, individual rights against discrimination in the workplace, child labor laws, fair compensation laws, and workplace safety. The U.S. laws in each of these areas are compared with both international laws and initiatives (i.e., conventions of the International Labor Organization and the United Nations) and specific laws from a sample of geographically and economically diverse countries. The class is conducted through lectures, problems for discussion, videos, role-playing exercises, and individual presentations.
Human Trafficking
Professor Dina Francesca Haynes
11:00 a.m.–12:50 p.m.
The course surveys relevant international laws, the convention and protocol, as well as U.S. laws and procedures governing human trafficking, and compares those to the European Union's approach. Students review an array of civil and criminal cases, and the domestic legislative history to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act and its reauthorization acts to understand how human trafficking laws and regulations have evolved since first promulgated in 2000. Students will gain a broad understanding of factors that drive trafficking, the routes used by traffickers, and the means by which law enforcement officers find victims, and prosecutors make cases against traffickers. Finally, through use of a simulation, students will learn how to prepare a T-visa application for a victim of human trafficking in the United States.
Contemporary Challenges in the Protection of Human Rights Worldwide
Professors Kathleen Cavanaugh and Aoife Duffy
1:00 p.m.–2:50 p.m.
This course aims to provide students with an overview of key contemporary challenges in the protection of human rights around the world. By the end of the course, students should be familiar with the historical context in which human rights norms developed, the major universal and regional systems of human rights law, and specific issues that adversely impact the full realization of human rights for many people across the globe.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For "dinos" as the plural of "dino", see dinosaur.
In the typology of ancient Greek pottery, the dinos (plural dinoi) is a mixing bowl or cauldron. Dinos means "drinking cup," but in modern typology is used (wrongly) for the same shape as a lebes, that is, a bowl with a spherical body meant to sit on a stand. It has no handles and no feet.[1]
The Dinos Painter, one of the ancient Greek artists known for vase painting, takes his name from the type of vase characteristic of his work.[2]

Letters 11.26.08
The bloom is off Bloomber
Re Wayne Barrett's 'The Transformation of Mike Bloomberg' [November 19–25]: I must disagree with Barrett's ideas that Emperor Bloomberg's trashing term limits and violating democracy are a bad thing. I think it finally exposed our sleazy mayor's heretofore-secret mild-mannered fascism.
This may be Bloomberg's "Brooklyn Museum" moment, when millions of his supporters finally realize the mayor is a fraud and not the noble hero our media sold us.
Please, Mike, keep up the good work! Your hubris may eventually land you in prison like thousands of previous City Hall crooks who also thought they were untouchable.

Four more years! (Added to your prison sentence!) You begged Kerik to work with you in 2001, so maybe he can be your BFF in Sing Sing?
Milton Katsis
I think what offends me the most about his bid for a third term is his arrogance.
He has done a lot of good, yes. But how many times must the people say "term limit"? How many times must they vote and say, "No"?
William Bednarz
Via internet
Bloomberg may have helped himself and a few businesses in New York City, but I believe he's been terrible for the city. We're overrun by franchises, and nothing has been done to retain New York's creative population.
I feel like I live at the World's Fair after the party is over. We need more Bloomberg like we need more sorority girls who drink Starbucks, say "Like, oh my God!" and laugh at homeless people.
Bloomberg is an elitist jerk, and I can't wait to have a new mayor—one who likes sex more than money.

Obama drama
Re Tom Robbins's 'Sweet Soul Music: Make Obama's inauguration a people's celebration' [November 19–25]: I am just not buying into the consensus that this country has fundamentally changed overnight.
Gun sales surging to unprecedented levels, hate crimes way up—this is the same country that elected Bush twice. But what changed is the economy and the quality of the Democratic candidate. Also, 9/11 is now four more years in our past. This country has plenty of racism but is not fundamentally racist.
This election in many ways mirrored the one in 1980. The incumbent was unpopular for both his foreign policy and his economic stewardship. The challenger was a great communicator. I think if you left everything exactly the same in 1980 but changed Reagan to black, he would have won by 6 percent—not the 9 percent he did.
The euphoria about Obama bothers me because it is hard to imagine the letdown and what that might entail if the man is assassinated. While most everybody in this part of the country is still on a post-election high, my heart will stay in my throat at least until the inauguration is over.

Re Michael Musto's 'Me and Paris Hilton: The Q&A' [November 12–18]: I've read the Voice on and off for decades, rarely skipping anything therein, but this week, I bypassed Musto's interview with Paris Hilton.
Why not an interview with Howdy Doody or even a sock puppet? Either is better-looking than (the inappropriately named) Paris and certainly would have more intelligent things to say!

Let George do it
Regarding Robert Wilonsky's unusually kind words about George Lazenby as James Bond [Film, November 12–18]: Sadly, most film critics see Lazenby as a joke and unworthy of the Bond name. Yet this does not explain why On Her Majesty's Secret Service not only remains among the top five films, as rated by Bond aficionados, but also the most-rented of the Bond films.
In this regard, Mr. Wilonsky echoes the words spoken to me by actress Lois Maxwell, who played Miss Moneypenny in the first 14 films and who considered OHMSS to be the best of them: "I love it because George brought out the human side of James Bond."

The Whip by Cecil Raleigh and Henry Hamilton was a tale of love and skulduggery among the aristocracy. These cartoons by Norman Morrow, published in The Bystander in September 1909, the year the show opened, poke gentle fun at the melodramatic 'types' in the production.
The plot was essentially a framework on which to hang the scenes of spectacle and special effects so beloved of audiences. Characters had to be broadly portrayed by the actors so as to be easily recognisable. How much more villainous, for instance, could Cyril Keightley look as Captain Grenville Sartorys in the top left-hand picture? And Miss Nancy Price in the centre is labelled the 'Wicked Woman', rather than with her character name Mrs D'Aquila, although it's perfectly obvious from the drawing that she's no angel. Jessie Bateman and Vincent Clive, down left, have the thankless 'goodie' roles, always less fun to play, and Charles Rock as jockey Joe Kelly is easily spotted as the source of comic relief.

Jets coach Rex Ryan feels his team isn't getting any respect for its controversial 29-15 victory over the Colts on Sunday because quarterback Peyton Manning didn't go the distance.
Manning was pulled with 5:36 left to play in the third quarter and the Colts leading by five points — 15-10. He completed 14 of 21 passes for 192 yards, no TDs and no INTs before exiting.
''There's very little credit that our football team's given and that's unfortunate,'' Ryan said Monday. ''It bothers me a little bit. You have to earn everything you get in this league. Whether you're playing against a starter or backup, whatever.
''For half the year, people played against our backup nose tackle (starter Kris Jenkins is out with a knee injury). I don't think anybody's made note of that. I know this is Peyton Manning or whatever, but he did play two-and-a-half quarters.
''Again, that's fine,'' continued Ryan. ''People can draw their own conclusions. But as I look at it, we won by 14 points. I think we were right there. We were fighting toe-to-toe with them. Our job is to try to get it done regardless of who is on the field.
''Again, we make no apologies for getting our job done.''
Running back Thomas Jones, a 10-year veteran, is just 12 yards shy of his career high in rushing. He ranks third in the NFL in rushing with 1,324 yards on 304 carries (4.4-yard average) — his fifth straight 1,000-yard season. He also has 12 touchdowns.
''It would mean a lot,'' said Jones. ''Obviously, being 31 years old and people say you decline the older you get ... I feel like I'm getting better and better each week, each year.
''I think my first couple of years (in the league) in Arizona not getting that many carries is paying off now on the back end for me physically, and my preparation on top of that. I work hard in the weight room and I study a lot of film.''
Jones, who boycotted the team's offseason program in a contract dispute last spring, will almost certainly collect a $3 million roster bonus in March in the final year of his contract.
Former Jets WR Laveranues Coles, in his first season with the Bengals, has just 40 catches for 495 yards and five touchdowns this season and has been used mostly in third-down situations.
Even so, the veteran will earn more than $9 million this season in the first year of a four-year, $28 million deal. A media favorite with the Jets, he hasn't spoken to the Cincinnati media all season.
The 2009 Pro Bowl team will be announced Tuesday. The Jets' possibilities include CB Darrelle Revis, LB David Harris, RB Thomas Jones, C Nick Mangold, LG Alan Faneca and FB Tony Richardson.
Trash-talking Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco has already tweeted the first salvo in his much-anticipated matchup against Jets CB Darrelle Revis.
''I'm coming to the big apple to give NY what they've never seen, an escape inmate gone wild on Revis island.''
Ochocinco then challenged Revis to cover him using a profane Twitter abbreviation.
There was no response from Revis as of Monday night.
In their first matchup in 2007, Ochocinco caught three passes for 102 yards in the Jets' 26-14 victory in Cincinnati.

Having your vehicle insured is a must, not only because it is the law, but also because it protects you and others should an accident occur. Carrying liability insurance coverage on your vehicle is the minimum insurance required by law, with full coverage being optional.
Do you know the difference between the two?
Laws requiring all passenger vehicles to carry liability insurance makes the road better for all of us. Liability insurance is coverage that will cover you if any injuries or damages to property occur during an accident.
The three different sections covered by liability insurance are:
1. Coverage limit per accident for bodily injury per person
2. Coverage limit maximum for all injuries sustained by all people per accident
3. Maximum limit for property damage coverage per accident
Each state has its own minimum limits of liability which drivers must purchase, but sometimes it may not be enough. That is why many people will sometimes purchase more than the required limits of liability insurance for peace of mind.
CHECK OUT: Find the Lowest Insurance Rates in Your ZIP Code
Hospital bills and property damage can add up very quickly and if you don't have adequate coverage, you may end up with big bills that you personally have to pay, even after the insurance company has done their part.
Full-coverage insurance includes liability insurance, but also includes collision coverage and comprehensive coverage. Comprehensive coverage will protect you when anything happens to your vehicle from no wrong doing or fault of your own.
For example, if a tree were to fall on your parked car you would be covered. If hail damaged your vehicle, you would be covered. Fires, theft, and other things like this would be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Collision coverage protects your vehicle should you get involved in an accident. This type of insurance is usually required by finance companies if you are still paying off your vehicle because it protects the finance company. If you were to become involved in an auto accident and your vehicle was totaled, your insurance company would pay off your car loan to the finance company.

I liked the title of this book. A friend told me it was really good. The cover was cool and I liked reading Gary Paulsen's book Lawn Boy. This was way more serious.
This book is about a boy, Brian who is lost in the woods in Canada after a plane crash. He has to survive alone and he meets lots of wildlife and storms.
The book was really good because the author told what it was like to be cold and hungry and alone. I liked the part where Brian learns to hunt and catch animals to survive. He gets sick from eating too many berries and has to find some meat.
The book was good and made you think you were in the forest with Brian.

Teachers cannot teach and pupils cannot learn in an environment where there is disruption and violence and when behaviour issues occur they cannot be explained away simply by attributing it to teachers' ability to plan and deliver lessons appropriately.
The NASUWT works to ensure that Government, employers and inspectors and parents accept this self-evident truth.
Thanks to the hard work of teachers, headteachers and support staff, the vast majority of schools are relative havens of peace, security and good order whatever the social circumstances of the community where the school is located.
Low-level disruption
Serious, widespread violence and disruption are a real concern for staff, pupils and families, but such behaviour remains confined to a minority of pupils in a small number of schools.
The main concern for staff in all schools, and in all areas, is the growing pressure from what is now the most common form of poor behaviour, so-called 'low-level disruption'.
Constant challenges to authority, persistent refusal to obey school rules and frequent, regular verbal abuse of staff are hallmarks of this behaviour.
Its effects, if unchallenged, are corrosive and can have a devastating impact on the health and welfare of teachers and mean that hundreds of effective teaching hours are lost.
It is vitally important that Governing bodies and independent appeals panels consistently support the professional judgement of teachers and headteachers in tackling behaviour problems including where pupil exclusion is deemed to be the appropriate school response.
The NASUWT Position
Staff are entitled to work in an environment free from violence and disruption and to appropriate access to training and support on behaviour matters. Equally importantly, pupils are entitled to a safe and orderly learning environment.
All schools should establish behaviour policies and strategies and a range of rewards and sanctions in consultation with staff and school workforce unions to promote acceptable standards of behaviour.
Schools should ensure that their behaviour management policies are non-discriminatory in their scope and operation, including on the grounds of ethnic or national origin, culture, religion, gender, disability or sexuality.
Schools should collect and regularly review data on behaviour to ensure that their behaviour management policy is operating fairly and equitably.
The NASUWT has produced a number of publications which address issues associated with pupil behaviour.

Seems like an appropriate time to make this, with most sixth formers considering putting together their first drafts of their personal statement and whatnot over the summer vacation.
I'm looking to apply for graduate entry to the LLM in International Human Rights Law and Practice or the MA in Applied Human Rights (still haven't 100% decided), in the Centre for Applied Human Rights.
I graduated from Newcastle University in 2012 with a 1st in History and have since been living and working at a middle school teaching English speaking and conversation in Daegu, South Korea. Additionally I write the charity section for a local magazine and work on the events and advocacy team for Daegu's LiNK (Liberty in North Korea) NGO chapter.
Interestingly, York was my firm choice but I never made the grade in maths and so I ended up at Newcastle (my insurance). Now I find myself contacting professors for a reference for York. ^^
I imagine this topic is going to contain mostly prospective undergrads and that's great too ofc.

Hey everyone!
So I'm back today with a lip product review. In my last Collective Haul I spoke about the Too Face La Creme Colour Drenching Lip Cream in Marshmallow Bunny. At the time I was undecided on whether to get the one or Juicy Melons. Having gone for Marshmallow Bunny last time I decided to go ahead and get Juicy Melons as it had been on my mind ever since and that's when I know I really like something.
Juicy Melons is a beautiful coral colour. I love corals for spring and summer time. I adore the formula of these lip creams. They are described as having "rich creamy colour, drenched with powerful lip conditioners". This description couldn't be any more spot on. They are so soft and creamy that they glide on the lips perfectly. The formula is very moisturising and leaves your lips feeling smooth and nourished.
Juicy Melons is very pigmented and the creamy formula leaves a pretty sheen to the lips. The formula is similar if not creamier then the Tom Ford Lipsticks and feels just as luxurious.
As with all Too Faced products the packaging is so pretty and the lipstick bullet itself is a sleek and brushed gold. Definitely one you wouldn't mind whipping out your bag for touch ups!
At £18 these lipsticks aren't cheap however I think the quality is comparable to higher end brands such as Chanel, YSL and Tom Ford. I have been loving wearing this colour with a soft neutral eye. I have a powder blue blouse which looks amazing paired with this lip colour as well.
What lip colours having you been loving coming in to Spring?

Federal judge blocks moratorium
Many offshore workers are breathing a huge - possibly temporary - sigh of relief as a federal judge ruled on Tuesday against the Obama administration's six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling. The moratorium was a response to the BP oil spill. The White House immediately said it would appeal.
The ruling was granted in response to a driller's request for a preliminary restraining order that would prevent the ban from taking effect until a trial is held. No trial date has yet to be set.
The Interior Department failed to provide adequate reasoning and that the moratorium seems to assume that because one rig failed, all deepwater rigs posed imminent danger, said District Judge Martin Feldman.
Offshore workers in the Acadiana area were quite happy with Feldman's ruling.
"Having some time off is one thing but six months off means no money for rent or electricity," said Greg Chism of Lafayette who works out of Port Fourchon. "I'm really glad the judge saw things our way."
The Obama administration had hoped the ban would give companies some time to make sure that all the other deepwater rigs were operating safely. Most Louisianans, however, disagreed with the President's decision saying that stopping offshore workers from drilling would be like pouring salt on the wound caused by the oil spill.
"I understand that the President thinks he was doing the right thing after the oil spill," said Mike Thibeaux of Rayne. "However, he isn't from here and I really don't think he knows how much the oil industry means to Louisiana. I'm really thankful right now and I hope this judge's ruling stands."
Cliff Domingue was caught off guard when he heard the news.
"I was about to start collecting change from around my house," he laughed.

Former University of Kansas forward Andrew Wiggins was the first player chosen in the 2014 NBA Draft.
Wiggins, who played one season for the Jayhawks before deciding to leave for the NBA, was chosen by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Facing questions about whether he has the internal drive to be a dominant scorer in the NBA, Wiggins said he wants to go and prove himself to Cleveland and the fans right off the bat.
Wiggins' teammate Joel Embiid, who had been considered a potential top overall selection until a series of injuries cropped up, was drafted third overall by the Philadelphia 76ers.

Users of this tool have been able to scale ad campaigns to the point of spending $X,XXX per day and beyond, while taking ROI to new levels.
How does it work? Just fill out a form with the ads you would like to test and your targeting info, hit "Play", and the tool will automatically mix and match ads with various targeting options to create as many ads as you want. No more clicking through the Facebook interface all day doing the same thing over and over.

Though the old Hollywood adage says never work with animals or children, Vin Diesel, who costars with a brood of tykes in the hit comedy The Pacifier, disagrees. "I think that it's so inaccurate because when you work with kids, all you have to do is step out of the way and let them shine. It was so easy," he tells us. Easy, but also hard to shake. While filming his next movie, the Sidney Lumet-directed drama Find Me Guilty, "I would be standing on-site rocking back and forth," Diesel recalls. "Sidney said, 'Why are you rocking back and forth? You're (playing) a 48-year-old attorney that's living in prison. Why are you doing this?' I was so accustomed to having a baby that I kept going back and forth like this. I couldn't stop it. I kept doing this like I had a baby on me."
The Play's the Thing
Teri Hatcher is a busy Desperate Housewife, but she's making time to hit the stage for a good cause. The actress will star in a production of the Eve Ensler play The Vagina Monologues in Los Angeles on March 17. Directed by Penny Marshall, the production will raise money for the 2005 Worldwide V-Day campaign to end violence against women and will honor local organization The HerShe Group.
Ciao, Italia!
Penelope Cruz had to learn Italian before starring in the upcoming film Don't Move (Non Ti Muovere). "I had to lose my accent completely," she says. "My character's name is Italia, so I really couldn't have any accent." To do so, she undertook an Eliza Doolittle-like schedule: "I had like four- or five-hour lessons every day. I loved the challenge of having to do that."

But What Will the Republicans Actually Do, Asks Bob Barr?
"Alaska Governor Sarah Palin gave a rousing speech yesterday at the Republican National Convention," says Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party's presidential nominee. "But what would a McCain-Palin administration actually do?"
Barr says Palin defended her record in Alaska, said many nice things about Sen. John McCain and tossed some well-deserved barbs at Sen. Barack Obama, "but Palin didn't explain what the Republican ticket would do differently from the current Republican administration and past Republican Congresses," Barr notes.
"For example, the words Social Security, Medicare, national debt, the deficit and the Constitution didn't pass her lips," Barr observes. "Yet Social Security and Medicare alone face an unfunded liability of more than $100 trillion. The national debt runs $9.5 trillion. The deficit next year will be a half trillion dollars."
"What would a President John McCain do to reform Social Security and Medicare?" Barr asks. "What would it do to cut federal spending? Gov. Palin says a President McCain would use the veto. But that's not nearly enough. The next president must propose closing down entire programs and agencies," Barr notes.
Barr also notes that Palin criticized Obama for wanting to increase taxes. "Good," says Barr, "but what about Sen. McCain, who strongly opposed tax cuts in the past and says tax increases are 'on the table' in any negotiations with the Democrats over Social Security?"
"Why should the American people believe that his convenient conversion is anything more than a George Bush 'Read my lips" campaign gimmick?" Barr asks. "Gov. Palin might have a believable record, but Sen. McCain certainly does not."
Palin also promised that a McCain-Palin administration would produce more oil and natural gas in America; however, "does Sen. McCain really believe this?" asks Barr.
Until recently, Sen. McCain opposed even exploring on the Outer Continental Shelf, "and he still opposes looking for energy in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge," Barr explains. "That's eight to ten billion barrels of oil he wants to leave in the ground. America's resources are left untapped even as gasoline prices rise skyward."
"This is not change, but the failed status quo," Barr says.
"The Republicans know how to give good speeches on reform," Barr says, "but they really don't believe their own rhetoric. The real candidates of change are Bob Barr and Wayne Root of the Libertarian Party. Only a Barr presidency would transform Washington, making it smaller, less expensive and more accountable to the American people," notes Barr.
Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr represented the 7th District of Georgia in the U. S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 2003.
The Libertarian Party is America's third largest political party, founded in 1971 as an alternative to the two main political parties. You can find more information on the Libertarian Party by visiting www.LP.org. The Libertarian Party proudly stands for smaller government, lower taxes and more freedom.

There's a search box up the top right corner, above the banner.
But to be honest, I've always found the results to be a little confusing.
I just started reading MDA a week or so ago, and so far I am very intrigued. I like the science behind these claims and I think I am going to give the Primal lifestyle a try. I'm a college student in Maine and I love carbohydrates, but I think I am on the fast track to diabetes right now and I'm looking for a healthier way to go.
I had a specific question, however, which I almost emailed to Mark. I read the disclaimer about checking the forums before sending in a query, and I don't want to waste anyone's time, but I can't figure out how to search the forums. I am looking to see if there are any articles or official primal stances around on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). If anyone could direct me to the search function, a specific article, or a discussion page, I would really appreciate it. Thank you for reading, and I hope you are having a very lovely day.

Haha, what a newbie, right? Thanks very much.
It's discussed in this thread, not sure how much it will help though. If you are in the forum, and use the search bar up in the top right corner you'll get forum results, and can pick a topic from there. Good luck!

"We're too little to understand"Jane Roper
I hadn't planned to write anything related to 9/11, partly because I didn't have anything in particular to say, and partly because I feel like there's been SO much out there about it — maybe a little too much, I think — that I didn't feel the need to share anything.
I've also never said anything to the girls about it, because they're so young. They still don't even get the whole death / dying concept.Today, Elsa told me the dream she had last night: "Humpty Dumpty ate a bad pancake and it made him dead so he was crying and then a friendly lion came along and helped and made him better." Although that's probably not the best example of her not understanding death because 1.) It was a dream and 2.) Humpty Dumpty has always been a death-defying sort of guy.
But this morning I ended up, totally unexpectedly, mentioning 9/11 to the girls. It happened because Elsa was complaining because she didn't want to go to church. We go to a Unitarian Universalist church which, like many UU churches, doesn't really have many services over the summer, and starts again in earnest with the school year. So, this was the first Sunday back, and we wanted to go anyway, but wanted in particular to go as a way to acknowledge and reflect on 9/11.
I told Elsa that it was the first Sunday back, and so Daddy and I would like to go and see everybody, and they could see their friends, and it wasn't a choice and yada yada yada. When she pressed, I decided, well, what the hell.
I told her it was also an important day for our country, because ten years ago today something very bad happened — some bad people flew some airplanes into buildings and a lot of people died, and it made everyone very sad. So today was a day when people took some time to think about it and remember the people who died, and their families, and try to understand, and try to be thankful for what we have, and hope that something like that never happens again. And the minister at church and maybe other people would talk about it, and there might be some songs or prayers or something about it.
Elsa stared fixedly at me the whole time, looking a little dazed. Clio kept fiddling with the building toys they'd both been playing with.
"So that's why mommy and daddy want to go to church, and why all of us are going there today, OK? Do you understand?"
Clio just asked me to help her un-stick two little pieces of their building set that were stuck together.
Elsa said, "I think we're too little to talk about it," and also returned to the building toys.
I said, "Oh no, you don't have to. You guys will just come into the service for the beginning, remember? And then you can go to the toy room downstairs while we're up in the sanctuary at the service."
"No," she said, after a pause. "I mean I think we're a little too little for you to be talking to us about it."
"Oh," I said. "Does it upset you?"
"No," she said, now also returning to fiddle with the building toys. "But I just think we're too little."
"Yeah, I think we're too little to understand."
"OK," I said. "I'm sorry. I won't talk about it anymore."
So I didn't.
Maybe I made a mistake. I did upset and confuse Elsa a little, it sounds like. But I respect her for saying what she did. And maybe she was right. Maybe she was too little to understand.
Then, I'm 37, and I still don't understand how human beings can be so awful to other human beings. Ten years later, that day still feels surreal.
Eventually, the girls will have to learn about what happened, and try to understand. And try to reconcile the awfulness of 9/11 and other horrific things that happen in the world with all the happiness and joy that's also part of life.
I envy the innocence and simplicity of their present existence. And I hate to have to be the one to usher them, even ever-so-gently and gradually, out of it.

Michael Vick's decision to go to Virginia Tech over Syracuse back in the good ole' days of the late 90's is widely considered to be the breaking point of when SU Football went into the tailspin it is currently trying to pull itself out of.
How many times have you thought something along the lines of, "Man...how things could have
been different if only Vick had come here."
Well, after reading below...yeah...not so much bummed anymore about never getting the chance to bumps into Vick at Varsity Pizza.
"In March 2003, PEACE, after consulting with Vick about the female pit bull's condition, executed the losing dog by wetting the dog down with water and electrocuting the animal."
• "In April 2007, PEACE, PHILLIPS and VICK executed approximately eight dogs that did not perform well in 'testing' sessions by various methods, including hanging, drowning and slamming at least one dog's body to the ground."
(Credit to Deadspin for finding those gems)
The Smoking Gun has the full indictment here. My advice? Don't read it if you have had a meal in ohhh...the last 3 days or so.
Besides, if Vick had come here, there may not have been a Troy Nunes and with no Troy Nunes there is no Marcy...and with no Troy Nunes there wouldn't be a Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician and all those would be bad things.
Then again, there is the other side of the story. Perhaps Paul Pasqualoni would have shaped young Mike Vick into a fine young man and dog fighting may have never entered his life and Vick would have saved SU Football as we know it.
*Sigh* What could have been.

2009 E-Lacrosse Feature: Spotlight on players at Recruiting Fall Ball tourneyThe National Recruiting Fall Ball Tournament will be held Sunday at St. Paul's School. This is the seventh year of the tournament and it is a great one. It started in 2002 with about 24 teams and now has 50 teams. The fall recruiting period for college coaches is a short one so they cluster around the good tournaments rich with talent. Between 70 and 80 college coaches attend the National Recruiting Fall Ball Tournament each year, walking from field to field with clipboards and roster notebooks in hand.
I spoke to Ray Schulmeyer, the tournament's organizer today and he's proud that each year they have players that commit to colleges at the tournament or immediately after the tournament. It really works for these kids and the coaches. I have witnessed players actually make a name for themselves at this event. The players are a good mix, from talented freshman wanting to be noticed early to seniors playing for the last time before they commit, as well as some serious blue chip kids that already know where they are going, who will play at major college programs.
Schulmeyer says they've had teams from as far as Florida and Texas. This year they have two teams from Burnaby Mountain, British Columbia. There is no playoff or champion of the tournament. The structure is designed to just showcase the participants to the recruiting coaches and you if you want to attend. There is no charge and its great lacrosse. St. Paul's has plenty of parking so come on out. Games are scheduled from 8-4:20 p.m. There will be eight fields going constantly.
Here's a list of the teams that are competing Sunday. In the "A" division, the competitors will be Alexandria Travel, All State, Archbishop Curley, Bishop Shanahan High School, Breakers, Bucks Select, Burnaby Mountain Selects Junior Elite, Burnaby Mountain Selects Senior Elite, Burning River Lacrosse Maroon, Celts Lacrosse Club, Central PA Dawgs, Delaware Silverbacks Elite, FuZe Blue, FuZe Gold, Greene Turtle OC, Hot Shots Lacrosse Club, Jagslax, LB3 Blue, LI Lax, Long Island Storm, Meltdown Lancaster Select, Mesa Fresh 2010, Morris Select, North Arundel Gold, Penn East, Potomac School, Rebel Elite, Renegades Gold, SMS Lacrosse, Springfield High School, St. Paul's, Team Langley, Thomas S. Wooton HS, Trilogy NJ, Vipers Elite and West Chester East High School.
In the "B" division, you'll see A.O.D. Richmond, Blue Mountain, Burning River Lacrosse Navy, Downingtown West PA, FuZe Select, FuZe White, Harford Renegades (Betsill), LB3 Silver, LB3 White, Long Island Saints, Madlax Sophomores, North Arundel White, St. Paul's I, St. Paul's II, Team Charlotte Orange and Trilogy.
As you can see, there will be plenty of teams from all over and these kids will be playing for spots on college teams. For most of them, that is their dream come true, so the action is intense. I hope to see you out there!
Note: For women's lacrosse fans, another tournament with many high school girls teams will be played at St. Paul's the day before, on Saturday, as well. With these two and the Hall of Fame ceremony in Hunt Valley on Saturday night, it's a hot lacrosse weekend in Baltimore, whatever the weather.

BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN PRODID:iCalendar-Ruby VERSION:2.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:
Roses decorate the wooden torso of the pale queen. El Rey\, her king\, s

pieces in an elaborate imaginary game? What they might have seen or heard
remains mysterious. But the charisma conjured by these figures is unmistaka
As per usual with Miguez' meticulously dreamed creations\, each sculpture features found obje cts coupled with specifically crafted structural components: printing block s serve as podium for a small bronze figure\, a tin cake mold suggests a ca refully pleated collar\, a tiny salt spoon adorns the wooden front piece of a circular tower of Chinese boxes and rusted gears\, a porcelain skinned f igure sits cross-legged on a battered doll-sized chair. The combinations of bronze and wood\, the patinas of gunmetal gold and ebony evoke the illusio n of an object-generated light. Shadow and substance\, fantasy and identity \, are interwoven via the history of the 'old' object and the lively accomp lishment of the artist's invention.

The world that I'm living in has shaped my personal vision for my life, my community and the world. I'm a woman with a loving heart and very simple dreams; living peacefully and freely, marrying the man I love, being a mother of 2 daughters and raising them in a better world than mine. From very early years of my life, I discovered that achieving those simple dreams is a rebellious vision. My dreams have made me the person who I'm today.
Few days ago on Friday 26th April 2013; a 17 years old boy was killed in peaceful protests in the suburbs of Khartoum. The brutal actions like killing of peaceful protestors by police forces are very common. The crackdown on civilians has led to formation of countless opposition armed groups or in different words "rebels". What a tragic fate of a 17 years old child leaving behind a broken heart of a mother, and unachieved ambitions of young life.
A woman in Kalma (internally displaced persons camp in South Darfur) was putting herself in danger of rape and even murder while collecting wood daily from outside the camp to offer her kid a light to study, pass the high school exams and get an admission to Gazeera University. She worked for years and collected the donations from camp residents to buy a plane ticket and send him to university; she was sending him to his destiny; being killed by security officers in peaceful protests on December 2012.
We cannot estimate the value of something unless we lose it, we cannot understand the value of peace untill we experience living in war zones. Calling back my childhood memories, I remember women forced to smile, dance and shout of happiness in their husbands and sons funerals who died while were fighting their brothers in the South. I was praying for the war to end, for my brother to return home and not kill their competent at all. I grew up in all these horrors. I cannot handle the idea of losing a beloved one; neither the sorrow I saw in the faces of dead soldiers' mothers. I became angry activist who speak out of those problems as they can never be solved.
Now I believe those brokenhearted women could be peace ambassadors if they had the courage to cry their beloved, to admit that they fought and died for nothing, to say "No more war" and seek justice for the grieved. I decided to mobilize for peace and justice. Justice is the condition of achieving lasting peace. I believe in the universality of the human need for peace and freedom. I seek justice for my nation, the nation's striving under dictatorships rule, the impoverished persons everywhere and women suffer because Allah has created them females. I stand by the disadvantaged.
During the past few weeks I've started to explore my feminine wisdom. I'm sure that Voices of Our Future training program will bring the best in me. It is transforming my rebel's thoughts into revolutionist's plans of action; activating my positive energy to address the problems and suggest solutions. I'd like the voice of women peace ambassadors to be heard across the globe. I'd like women to step and tell the horrors happened to them and their beloved, cry and seek justice. I'm not a politician yet a journalist. I'm a community activist seeking to gain the skills and knowledge and find the support to challenge and change the status quo.
I'm seeking a better future for my girls and the girls all over the world. I'm convinced that citizen journalism is shaping the world politics, redistributing power balance through sharing information with a lot of people and diversifying the resources of information. Changing the power balances will change the world and I'd like to play my role effectively in this change process.
Take action! This post was submitted in response to Voices of Our Future Application: Your Vision.
Hi Yosra,
"It is transforming my rebel's thoughts into revolutionist's plans of action; activating my positive energy to address the problems and suggest solutions."
A powerful sentence, that I can relate to. Rebelling against the grain is not easy, but when its positive and backed with action, it's activism.
Best wishes

I read your article about turning your anger into feminine wisdom. Even though I am disabled, I sit in a country that has not experienced war on our own soil since the great Cival War over a hundred years ago. It's difficult to even imagine what you go through on a daily basis. May God keep you safe. I am sharing your article on my Facebook page. I am so honored (and extremely humbled) to have you for a sister.

Dear Yosra
Thank you very much for the well written and moving post, I loved your introduction on how achieving simple dreams are rebellious in Sudan, in fact I loved the whole piece.
keep going, keep sharing and keep the world awake!

I get so angry each time I read or hear from the news about the so called wars, waged withing a country against each other. For me the June 16 1976 Student Uprisings in my country, were more thatn enough. I know of the pain of parents who lost young children, whose blood nourished our freedom.
Reading all the postings that I could read and found that, there were normal people from these countries, people who yearn for peace, people who would like to see other people triumph in their quest to make their lives better and their countries successful and thriving, has indeed humbled me.
I wish that you could be a rebel that attains it's cause. God loves you, stay blessed.

Dear Yosra, I can sense the inner journey has shifted from anger to wisdom, and because of that wisdom, your imagined community is imbued with commitment to pursue justice and freedom for girls, women and your country. It is such a compelling task and I think you have the strength to carry on. Thank you so much for your stories and the stories of the people that your story has included. Best wishes to you.

I thank you for bringing this important discussion to the attention of this forum, it will remind all of us that the struggle a woman goes through to see that her child prosper.This woman did every thing possible to secure a better future for her son. but because of this heartless soldier who killed him during a peaceful demonstration.
The blame is basically on the regime that allows this heartless soldier to kill, those soldiers have been killed too. Our government is allowing this blood flud to continue and our struggle is to bring peace.
Thanks for highlighting this point and reading my post. Stay in touch.
Yosra Akasha, Sudan
Yosra the problem with our African leaders is numerous but for i do believed that that did not have the populace at heart and greed is also contributing. During the NGO forum to wards the 53rd African commission session i was privileged to witnessed a discussion group on the relationship between Sudan and South Sudan. where a resolution came out of that group to forward it to the larger group and the commission to address this misfit attitude that is going on.
but with the help of Allah i believed it will one day be a safe heaven for all Africans. My love and respect for all of us and may Allah blessed the whole world and restore peace in all the part of world.

I feel moved by your story and the way you have shared it. I feel a strong connection with you as a woman and as someone who believes in peace, despite having grown up in a very different environment. Thank you.
I love the way you describe turning your anger into action, using your positive energy to address the issues which anger you. I join you as wanting to part of this community of women peace ambassadors.
If you get chosen to be a correspondent how do you envisage using your voice? As a community activist do you belong to a particular group or organisation? What do you think is needed in Sudan to bring about the peaceful community you would like your children to grow up in?
If you don't happen to get chosen, please continue to fight peacefully, use your voice and connect with women all over the world. Thanks again an good luck.
Thanks for your kind words. I'm quite satisfied that my words has moved you. If I got chosen as correspondent I'd like my voice and the voices of many women from conflict areas to be heard and to work together for finding our positive energy to mobilize for peace. I work for a women rights organization and I'm taking part of many youth, women and peace movements/ groups. I'm trying at least to do something and influence change in my community. And sure I'll continue writing and blogging for peace and human rights.
Thank you once again,
Yosra Akasha, Sudan
a high five and a thumbs up sign to you too Yosra :)
Thanks for your kind support Megzdawn, the struggle will continue and I keep learning and watching myself not to be drawn back and for sure your support is needed.
Yosra Akasha, Sudan
Hi Yosra, These are fighting words! Truly the fighting words of a woman who knows that violence begets violence, and that sustainable change comes through compassionate rejection of what hasn't worked, and conscious embracing of what will. I hear in you the willingness to shape the future of a terribly damaged society through love and courage. Your daughters are that future.
I'm thrilled to be at your side as you chart your way forward.
Warmly, amy
Thanks Amy, I think I need your help to make such a future & I'm sure with having you by my side I can do better.
