Ok, I admit that I have baby fever. (I even joke to Alex that we should start "trying" on August 30th--the day after our wedding.) So, I've been brainstorming baby names. What are your favorite baby names these days?
Mine are...
I used to love Zoe and Sebastian, but now I'm liking Charlie and Sophie.
My friends Michael and Elizabeth have a new baby girl named Elodie. Beautiful, right? Do you like off-beat names? Actor Jason Lee and his wife named their son Pilot Inspektor. (That's, well, a little nuts.)
What about you guys? What baby names are your favorites? Do your favorite names change as time goes by? Do you like your own name?
P.S. More about little munchkins:

ZTE launches drive for innovative tech solutions
ZTE Corp, the mainland's second-largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer, has established a 100 million yuan (HK$120.74 million) venture capital fund that will invest in innovative projects proposed by its employees.
Chairman Hou Weigui, chief architect of the so-called 'Innovative Fund', yesterday said the endowment is expected to encourage ZTE staff to develop what he described as 'ground-breaking new telecommunications solutions'.
'Mobilisation of our employees as creators of ideas for investment by the fund is part of our strategy to create bold new concepts and products in the telecommunications industry,' Hou said.
ZTE has about 80,000 employees worldwide, including 30,000 research and development personnel.
The Shenzhen-based company led the mainland in the number of international patent applications last year, according to the World Intellectual Property Organisation. It achieved a global No 2 ranking with 1,863 patent applications last year, up from its No 23 position in 2009 with 1,346 applications.
The Innovative Fund announcement came a day after ZTE revealed plans to set up 10 international 'innovation centres' in Europe and South America with several major telecommunications network operators. It will also form similar centres on the mainland through partnerships with China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom.
The collaborative research to be undertaken by ZTE in those laboratories is expected to help its partner carriers adopt new products and strategies that would be relevant to their operations.
'Providers like ZTE must deeply understand and become seamlessly involved in the business operations and requirements of customers at a faster pace,' executive vice-president Xie Daxiong said.
ZTE is currently embroiled in an intellectual property rights dispute with rival Huawei Technologies, the mainland's biggest telecommunications equipment maker. In April, ZTE filed a lawsuit on the mainland that claims Huawei violated its patents on 4G mobile technologies based on a standard called Long-Term Evolution (LTE), and should pay compensation.
That action was an apparent response to the lawsuits filed against it by privately-held Huawei earlier that month in Germany, France and Hungary. Huawei alleged that ZTE infringed a series of patents related to its data card and LTE-standard 4G mobile technologies.
Shares of ZTE were down 1.95 per cent to close at HK$25.10 yesterday.

A profile of an ancient city Istanbul and its unique people, seen through the eyes of the most mysterious and beloved animal humans have ever known, the Cat
Hundreds of thousands of cats roam the metropolis of Istanbul freely. This is the story of seven of them!. For thousands of years they've wandered in and out of people's lives, becoming an essential part of the communities that make the city so rich. Claiming no owners, these animals live between two worlds, neither wild nor tame and they bring joy and purpose to those people they choose to adopt. In Istanbul, cats are the mirrors to the people, allowing them to reflect on their lives in ways nothing else could' (Turkish w/English subtitles)
The mesmerizing score by Kira Fontana, interspersed with well-chosen Turkish pop, is a real asset.
"More than just a cat. The cat embodies the indescribable chaos, the culture, and the uniqueness that is the essence of Istanbul." - Director Y. Barlas
'Tracking the Street Felines of Istanbul, 'Kedi' Reveals a City's Humanity' The Village Voice

Neo-Proudhonian Mutualism.—Between Contr'archy and Guarantism.—The Multiplication of Free Forces is the True Contr'un.

Responding to the Deepwater Horizon disaster
Kevin is absolutely right in saying that the Gulf spill is not the product of an "unregulated market." It's one of the great wonders of the modern world that, with news of the latest attempt to tweak the economy by this or that incentive a daily staple, the phrase "unregulated economy" still exists in the language. Of course, in this regard, the shenanigans of the the government look a lot like the daily shenanigans of the market. Clearly, an unhealthy fusion has taken place, but it's hard to decide whether it's more troubling that the market has been governmentalized or that the government is on the market. In any event, if we are going to include that "unregulated market" among the possible alternatives to the present debacle, it's probably only fair to also consider the possibility of an "unmarketed regulation." If it is obvious that the current economy is something of a botched job with regard to freedom, it should be equally obvious that the regulatory state is not fulfilling its functions in any coherent manner. If "the system is working" through this particular sort of malfunction, then that "system" is not government per se, but the bastard love-child of corrupt government and corrupt market, which is nothing other than the dominant present form of privilege.
I would like to think that in a "truly free market" it would indeed be easier to sue the pants off those who recklessly endanger the lives and livelihood of others. I would hope that in such an economy, where "all economic actors do business on their own nickel," the process of accumulating enough nickles to dig a deepwater well would build in a certain amount of responsibility, long before we got to the stage of insuring the thing. But the problem with markets is that there are many kinds of value and interest which have a hard to finding representation. After all, sea turtles and brown pelicans don't get any more of a vote in the market than they do in elections or campaign contributions. Private property conventions tend to establish a separation of interests not reflected in, or respected by, the circulatory systems of the biosphere—and while there are, arguably, very good reasons to construct a certain kind of property-privilege around each and every human subject, we play a dangerous game when we mistake the legal and/or conventional systems of property for a map of our actual degree of interdependence on one another and on non-human nature.
As I read western intellectual history, the revolutionary trend is more and more towards the recognition of universal interconnectedness as an objective condition, and the checkered career of modern individualism has been determined by the fact that it is not immediately clear how we should deal with our undeniable experience of separate being, in the face of a whole lot of pretty persuasive evidence that the human subject is not, objectively, much more than a calm pool in the flow of everything everywhere. Faced with this basic and very thorny problem, the individual has had to shrink considerably, expand just as dramatically, or find some way to split the difference. Unfortunately, as often as not, we've remained sort of betwixt and between solutions to the dilemma, either stuck with pretty wishy-washy non-solutions or turning defiant. The defiance of ecological concerns has had a helpful, if hapless, ally in various sorts of naive anti-humanisms and primitivisms, in shallow "environmentalism," and in the tendency of half-baked attempts at environmental legislation to regulatory capture. Those who deny the last several centuries of natural science point to the failure to sell adequate regulation to the oil companies, and pretend that the failure of junk legislation is the vindication of their junk science. When they want to sway the base, they appeal to false populism and junk religion. Faced with the need to confront all the consequences of our advancing knowledge of the universe—both those that emphasize our individuality and those that pull in a very different direction—we're seeing denials of reality that would make flat-earth enthusiasts blush. Now, I don't expect everyone to be convinced of the need for a "gift economy of property," or to accept the sort of ecological ethics that I think are implied by pretty much all the best thought of the last couple of hundred years. But I do think that anyone who believes the market alone, or government alone, or any combination of market and government will solve he problems posed by the Deepwater Horizon spill—without there first being a profound examination of the problems in precisely ecological terms, and with all the sacred cows of both market and government banished to other pastures—probably needs to go back to the drawing board.
To be frank, the problem with something like Lew Rockwell's anti-environmentalism is that it is quite simply stupid to act like ecosystems are some sort of left-wing plot. You can't be a very useful "hero" for human liberty if you decide you "hate" the basic life support system of the human race. The problem with the back and forth around Rockwell's stupid statements is that it's quite clear that the "libertarian" defenders are absolutely married to their dubious principles, no matter how far they may be removed from reality.
For those who are not in a "til death do us part" relation with a particular vision of private property, the disaster (of still unknown and largely unknowable proportions) that has started in the Gulf poses a lot of hard questions about how a free and sustainable society can function—and it poses them in a way that is hard to ignore. Personally, I don't think there are any easy points to be scored for free markets, free governments, or their lack. All free institutions will be as wise and good—or foolish and bad—as the individuals that make them up and the internal connections that they forge. We're obviously faced with broken markets and corrupt regulatory regimes at the moment, but there wouldn't be much improvement from free-but-dumb alternatives. There's no substitute, when it comes to engaging ecological concerns, for ecological thinking, and there are plenty of indications that we are collectively resisting that engagement with every means available to us. It seems to me that there are promising routes toward a solution beginning from virtually all of the usual anarchist starting points. In the next couple of issues of The Mutualist, I'll be looking at how the most expansive sorts of anarchist egoism and the most collectivist sorts of anarchist communism ultimately point to the need of at least some "two-gun," non-simplist, and essentially ecological balancing act.

I think that anarchism is at its best when it is open-minded, and open-ended.
We can't know the future, and it is sheer hubris to base our vision of the mechanical order of the future on our current situation, or indeed the past.
(Not sure that this relates to anything you said, I was distracted by a cat and rabbit battle).
- Derek Ryan Strong said...
I think that most natural resources should be collectively owned and managed in a mutualist (or broadly anarchist) society. So the likelihood of an event like this happening would be much less. I am not sure what the more individualist variants of mutualism think about this, however, despite BP being toast in a truly free market.
I am glad you are working on bringing ecological thinking into mutualism. Elinor Ostrom's work on governing the commons should be useful in formulating a "two-gun" approach. I look forward to the more explicit development of an ecomutualism and I intend to contribute to it from an economic perspective.

Thanks for the comments, Shawn. Re the question of unrepresented interests, I quote from Gary Chartier's comments addressed to me (I hope he won't mind):
"It seems to me that this depends entirely on whether people think they're worth protecting. Take sea turtles (since Shawn mentions them): under a statist regime, legislation will only protect sea turtles if legislators ultimately want it to. They need to be convinced that sea turtles' interests are worth safeguarding. The same is true under any other legal regime. But there's nothing about a stateless society with a radically free market that makes it impossible for those interests to be recognized, provided people actually think they're legitimate. If only a minority regards them as important then, no, that minority won't be able to impose its views on the majority, but the same is true in a stateful society, in general, absent a dictator who, say, happens to care about sea turtles."
IOW, the sea turtles are unable to exercise rights on their own behalf in *any* system. In any system, the protection of their interests depends on humans who identify their interests with their own.
The Freeman ran an article about ten years back on how the present system deliberately excludes conservationists from the price-formation process for national resources. Bidding for leases on government land is restricted only to the industry in question (i.e. logging companies), and closed to those who might want to buy land to hold out of use (or bid up the price so that it's profitable to log only a smaller amount).
Also, I addressed the question of liability and insurance in isolation. There's no reason a free market regime would be incompatible with assorted systems of common rights like those described by Elinor Ostrom.
In any case, I'm inclined to believe the sea turtles et al are likely to benefit as "free riders" from the increased risk premiums and incentives for more careful drilling, even if their interests are not addressed as such (much as global warming is addressed indirectly by anything that tends to internalize more costs in the price of fuel, even if the use of the atmosphere as a carbon sink isn't one of the costs addressed per se).
Your questioning of the assumptions behind methodological individualism resonates with me a lot more these days, since I've been studying networked/stigmergic organization. It seems to me that denying the possibility of some emergent properties to patterned interpersonal interactions, at a meta-level, is an unsupported dogma.
- Shawn P. Wilbur said...
Derek, I'm inclined to agree, although I've got a ways to go on the exposition of it all. But I'm actually going to explore things from a radically individualist perspective first, before turning to wrestle with the collectivist-mutualist debate over land-ownership. Where nearly all mutualists have agreed, at least historically, is that skipping to quickly to the collective generally trips us up.
- Shawn P. Wilbur said...
Kevin, what ecological thinking does for us is to show the sense in which the interests of the sea-turtle, or of an as-yet-unknown species of algae, are not isolated from our own. I think I am, in my own peculiar way, as good a methodological individualist as anyone. It just seems to me that some of our mutualist predecessors complicated the matter of identifying individuals in some interesting ways. Obviously, lots of those individuals can't be directly represented in our political systems. But that's a problem to be solved -- which can, I think, be solved by carefully rethinking some basic concepts -- not, a matter unconnected to human liberty.
If you look at the long development of our thinking about freedom and justice the trend seems to be away from one-size-fits-all law and towards an increasingly broad recognition of what actors must be considered. Sketching out a next step that some of us are already trying to take, Aldo Leopold said, "a land ethic changes the role of Homo sapiens from conqueror of the land-community to plain member and citizen of it. It implies respect for his fellow-members, and also respect for the community as such." It seems to me that some nominal libertarians still want to rule something.
- Darian W said...
Kevin's comment brings up a somewhat-related thought I've had regarding conservation. Namely, how does conserving natural areas work when pure occupancy-and-use principles determine rightful land possession?
My thoughts are that natural areas that either protect watersheds, are established as places of recreation or foraging, or serve some other human purpose are in fact being used, and arbitration might be necessary to determine use in a case-by-case basis (for example, someone wanting to build a home on a well-known hiking trail). I suppose if a conservation group claimed an animal population and a reasonable amount of habitat as a subject of scientific study this would be a recognizable claim.
- Shawn P. Wilbur said...
Darian, "pure occupancy-and-use principles" are going to play out very differently depending on the reigning theory of initial appropriation. In the recent debates, we've tended to focus on abandonment, but that may be a much simpler issue in the long run. The Lockean proviso standard was that anybody could take a drink as long as "a whole river of the same water" was left. It's no wonder propertarians tend to hate the provisos. We probably need a good trip back to the drawing board with regard to rights of appropriation.
Even without that, however, active conservation is pretty obviously a use. A land-use scheme that wouldn't cover crop rotation or a woodlot would be a large and silly step backwards. Recognizing a wildlife corridor, or critical wetland, or scenic area is a tiny step forward, involving an expansion of "use" that governmentalists managed to wrap their heads around a long time ago.
- Kevin Carson said...
I think homesteading of wilderness areas would be a moot issue in most cases, if it weren't for more fertile and favorably situated land currently being held out of use by artificial property rights. Wilderness is generally marginal land, economically, which people only occupy when land inside the margin of cultivation is artificially scarce.
- RoyceChristian said...
There was an interesting idea, at least I thought, discussed a while back about providing a place in a property theory particular rights to particular things; tree rights to tree, dog rights to dogs, bee rights to bees etc.
It was an interesting conceptualisation that would potentially allow for corrections to start being made in the way humanity behaves with respect to ecosystems -- a sharp turn from the stated goal of 'storming nature's castles' and 'putting her on the rack'. After all, it would consider as part of those rights the right to reproduce in order to sure up the numbers of a species.
If anything, it provides an outlet for further discussion.
- Shawn P. Wilbur said...
Royce, I think something along those lines is the logical extension of Proudhon's theories. The theory of rights in "War and Peace" posits a right for every human faculty, and the theory of liberty from "Justice" makes freedom a matter of complex interrelations with other individual(itie)s. Nature provides us with working models of dynamic, polycentric, self-regulating systems, if we're willing to renounce dominion as the goal, and get down to the business of serving our own freedom by recognizing the diversity of our potential partners.

Teaching socioscientific issues: classroom culture and students' performances

The "Treasures in the Sea: Use and Abuse" unit that deals with authentic socioscientific issues related to the Mediterranean was developed as part of a national effort to increase scientific literacy. The unit aimed to enhance active participation of the learners and encourage higher order thinking in class by applying teaching methods that reduce the unfamiliarity felt by students. This was expected through an explicit use of a variety of teaching and assessment-for-learning methods, suitable for Science for All students. Our main goal was to examine the culture of Science for All classes in which the unit was enacted. In order to address the main learning objectives, we monitored students' performances in tasks that required the higher order thinking skills of argumentation and value judgment, which are central constituents of decision-making processes. We show that while socioscientific issues were discussed in whole class and small group sessions, and students' argumentation improved, there is still a long way to go in applying a thinking culture in non-science major classes. We suggest that science teachers should shift from traditional content-based and value-free approach, to a sociocultural approach that views science as a community practice and the students as active participants in decision-making processes.

April 2014 - Liberty of the Seas to Caribbean - Western
It was alright, but probably would not go again.
First off, the ship was great. We really enjoyed walking around. We really enjoyed our room and balcony. It was truly very nice.
There was, however, a fair bit of mediocrity. The food was not great. We even went to the premium steakhouse on board one night, and the steak was lower quality that you could probably get at an Outback Steakhouse or any other mid range restaurant.
My real issue was the trip was the service. In the main dining room I was only asked if I wanted a drink in the first night. Water refills were scarce and it seemed like our assistant waiter was busting his butt, while everyone else took it easy. but by far the worst of the service was the bar staff out on deck. The bars were wayyyyyyyy understaffed. It took up to 20 mins waiting at the bar to get a refill. This was causing people to get really hostile which wasn't helping the situation. Some of the bartenders were exceptionally rude, and drinks were made with very inconsistent quality.

Ranch homes include open floor plans, low maintenance materials, safe step-free access, a private courtyard retreat, and basements per home site and plan.
Heron Pond will feature 75 courtyard homes starting in the low $300,000s* with all of the well-conceived features expected in a Windsong active adult home.
"With 10 years of building exclusively for empty nesters, we have an excellent grasp of what our buyers want in their right-sized homes," explained Steve Romeyn, co-owner of Windsong Properties.
The gated community will feature a beautifully landscaped linear park that leads to the front door of the clubhouse overlooking Heron Pond. Professionally designed and maintained landscaping is included and can be enjoyed from your front porch, sidewalks and a pond-side walking trail. Ranch homes include open floor plans, low maintenance materials, safe step-free access, a private courtyard retreat, and basements per home site and plan.
Site development is underway, and model home construction will begin in the fall. Windsong's first buyers will be moving into their new homes this winter.
"If you liked Somerset, our community on Putnam Ford Road in Towne Lake or Garden Street in Downtown Woodstock, you will love Heron Pond!" exclaimed Romeyn.

Where Confucianism Meets Chinese Medical Ethics2016-03-02 09:41:35Share:
To Chinese minds, medical practice puts Confucian philosophies into practice. However, medical practitioners in ancient China didn't enjoy the same level of social and economic status as today's physicians do, certainly nowhere close to the Confucian scholars of the age. Confucianism often only celebrated literary figures. Medical practitioners, with their work considered a type of ji (technique) or shu (art) of craftsmanship, stood on the lower social category of artisan.
chinese medicine
In a society that valued men who spent time studying and competing in the annual imperial examinations to get a spot in civil service, medical practitioners didn't quite meet expectations. They wandered around searching for herbs, doing experiments, and treating people with illnesses. The great Li Shizhen—the father of TCM—had in early life been considered unsuccessful. Before committing to medicine, he attempted to become a civil official, but he gave up after failing the examination three times.
Even court physicians didn't enjoy many benefits and also faced the pressure of losing their life due to imperial malpractice. It was common for court physicians to be persecuted for failing to cure the illnesses of royal family members.
However, Sun Sumiao, a physician and alchemist during the Tang dynasty, opposed to these rankings. He said that the status of medical practitioners depended on their practices:
"If medical practice is based on deception, it is to be considered low. If medicine is practiced on the principle of veracity (cheng), it is not to be considered low. If a person's knowledge of medicine is applied only to his own body, this is petty (xiao). If the application [of a person's medical knowledge] is extended over all mankind, then that is not petty."
Sun's idea finds reconciliation with Confucian idea of "ren", known in English as benevolence. This concept of human relationships is commonly known through the famous saying, "Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you." In China, re-emphasizes one's familialdevotion and loyalty.
Huangfu Mi—author of the famous text Zhenjiu Jiayi Jing (Systematic Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion), wrote, "If a person is not good at medicine, he cannot help his emperor and parents when they are suffering from disease even though this person has a heart of loyal and filial piety (zhongxiao) and a nature of humanness and compassion (renci)".
In Chinese traditional medicine, the concept of "ren" was often represented by the story of the legendary Emperor Shennong of the Han Dynasty risking his life tasting 100 kinds of plants to determine their medical quality. The story suggests that medicine is crafted by sage, therefore it is noble profession, and should be practiced with moral character.
The reconciliation of medical practices and Confucian ideas requires physicians—during medical training and practices—to master Confucius' principles and strictly follow his morals. Li Yan, a physician during the Ming Dynasty, wrote that Confucianism is the root of medicine and suggested a practice of getting up early every morning to study one or two Confucian books as a way to purify the thoughts. At the core of "ren" lies the appreciation of human life. Sun emphasized this key idea by saying that medicine must come from the heart.
"When a doctor attends to his patient, he should compose himself, banish all his desires, and approach the case dedicated to the relief of the suffering with a compassionate heart," he said.

There has been "significant progress" towards plans to stop a gas leak on an offshore platform, the operator has said.
All 238 staff were evacuated from the Elgin platform, around 150 miles off Aberdeen, when it began leaking gas more than two weeks ago.
About 200,000 cubic metres of gas are escaping from the platform each day, coming out from a rock formation below the sea. It is then escaping into the air from a leak on the platform at the top of the well, about 80ft above sea level.
Oil and gas company Total said preparatory work for the planned drilling of both a primary and back-up relief well continued this week with two flights to the platform to assess the situation.
Total employees and specialists from Wild Well Control, a specialised well intervention company, have now travelled to the platform three times.
A spokeswoman said: "During these two visits this week, additional valuable information was gathered to prepare for the well control operation and to carry out essential cleaning of key areas around the wellhead, where waxy deposits had accumulated."
She added that two rigs are being mobilised for the drilling of the relief wells.
The Sedco 714, which is expected to start drilling first, has been outside the Elgin exclusion zone since April 8, while site surveys for its exact location are completed.
The second rig, the Rowan Gorilla V is closing down operations on the nearby West Franklin field before repositioning itself to drill the second relief well.
Two further vessels are being mobilised to support the drilling, with the West Phoenix, a semi-submersible drilling rig, on stand-by outside the two nautical-mile exclusion zone, and Skandi Aker, a light intervention vessel, is in Peterhead harbour being fitted with dedicated equipment to support the operations.
The drilling of a relief well is one option being explored by the company, while the other, to pump heavy mud into the well, is also being considered.
Experts have said drilling a relief well could take months, while blocking the leaking well would involve people re-boarding the platform.
No final decision has been taken on the course of action but the spokeswoman said the operation to stop the leak is "progressing according to plan".
Earlier this week the Scottish Government said taste testing of fish from the area close to the gas leak in the North Sea had shown they are "untainted".
A research vessel collected fish, water and sediment from the edge of the two-mile exclusion zone around the platform last weekend.
The first stage of testing of the fish samples involved a panel of specially trained sensory testers at Marine Scotland Science in Aberdeen, who can detect the taint of hydrocarbon contamination.
They concluded that the samples contained no trace of hydrocarbons.
However, full chemical testing of all environmental samples is still being carried out.
Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "The environmental impact of this gas leak has been minimal so far. However, it's important we take precautions and analyse all available data. Therefore, it's reassuring that sensory testing of the fish samples gathered by the Alba na Mara (vessel) have found they are untainted by hydrocarbons.
"Full chemical analysis work, including water and sediment samples, is ongoing and will provide further clarification on any impact.
"We will continue our monitoring activities for the duration of this incident so we can assess any impact on the marine environment and respond as needed."

The highlight of August was James starting kindergarten. He was so excited for his first day! I was dying inside trying to let go of my little boy all while trying to figure out how my baby grew up so fast. He goes to morning kindergarten every Monday-Friday and absolutely loves his teacher and classmates.
We said goodbye to Texas and headed home to Utah early Monday morning on August 4th. Joe stayed in Texas to finish up the last 3 weeks of his internship. My sister Alisa and I drove the long 20 hours home all in one day. It was so nice to have her help with my kids and a true miracle that we made it home without stopping for car sickness.
We hopped out of the car in Moab to snap a quick picture and stretch our legs for a minute. I got really excited being in Utah again...there is something really exciting about coming home!
The kids were so excited to be home and play with all their toys. They did miss my cousins a lot though.
Only a few days after being home we hiked to Stewart Falls. I really missed the mountains while we were in Texas.
We loved playing in the grass! Hannah found a new favorite food...strawberries. She eats the whole thing and will eat a full case at one time if I let her.
We spent some time outside catching up on all our summer weeds and making sure the lawn got lots of water.
The kids loved helping me.
We went to the water park before it closed for the season.
Hannah loved trying to drink the water as she walked though it...I love this girl!
I quickly realized when we got home that our previous set up was not going to work with a toddler. When we left our home for the summer Hannah was crawling but when we got back she was getting into EVERYTHING and walking. I decided we needed more storage room and took on a big project.
I bought an old dresser and cedar chest off KSL and stained, painted and re-holstered them.
We took lots of trips to Home Depot to get needed supplies, the kids loved their carts:)
The kids helped me sand the dresser drawers down...
We spent a day in Park City catching up with my cousins and Aunt and Uncle!
My parents came to visit, they showed me all the places they lived back when they lived in Provo. This is the apartment they lived in right before I was born. They are holding up to fingers because it was the second place they lived as a couple.
Joe came home!!
We were really excited to be back together as a family!
My Grandpa and Grandma Smith came to visit!

This mask smells SO good! It smells like pumpkin pie! I love anything and everything pumpkin, so I was really intrigued by this mask, and it did not disappoint! It didn't irritate my sensitive skin, and left it super soft and smooth. It deep cleaned and made my skin feel fresh. I would definitely recommend!
Holy moley dose this stuff ever smell like pumpkins! I really like Peter Thomas Roth skin products (not so much the price...) and this Pumpkin mask so far has worked really well! I sometimes have a hard time with marks and washes with micro beads as they can irritate my skin. So far this product has left my skin feeling nice and clean and soft. Did I mention it smells exactly like pumpkin?!
This mask smells amazing and does a great job of exfoliating my skin without drying out my skin
This is the best defoliator I have ever tried! I use it 2-3 times a week. I apply it to clean skin and rub it in until it begins to get dry then I leave it on to do its magic for 5-20 minutes and rinse it off. It also
First of all, this mask smells like pumpkin spice so that for one makes it a win in my eyes.
Secondly the exfoliant combined with the enzymes in this mask do a dual process on your face.
I recommend adding a little water when applying to ensure that is not too harsh or irritating on your skin.
My husband bought this, the cleanser and the cucumber mask for me for my birthday. I already adored the cleanser, so I was really excited to try this. I was not disappointed at all! This mask is soothing and feels fantastic. It leaves my skin feeling smooth, soft, moisterized and refreshed. I now use it two-three times a week. I highly recommend this product and brand
I love this pumpkin enzyme mask from the Peter Thomas Roth skincare line. It has alpha hydroxy acid in it to help get rid of all the dead skin cells from your face. It does tingle slightly at first, it's due to the ingredients starting to work on your skin. The pumpkin smell is amazing and you will see a difference the 1st time you use it.
This is amazing! it kind of stings or tingles when you put it on and when you take it off your face looks absolutely radiant and the next day it looks even better. It gets rid of all the dry patches and helps prevent acne and blackheads because it exfoliates your skin removing all the built up oils and dead skin. This kind of does irritate sensitive skin but only slightly.

One of the sadder consequences of the CD age was the decline of the subliminal satanic message. With an old-fashioned record player anyone could check their heavy metal albums for paeans to Beelzebub, simply by spinning them the wrong way and listening for the reversed vocal. This became impossible with CDs and even the darkest of metal bands gave up reversing their vocals in favour of coming right out and saying that, OK, they really, really liked Satan.
Thanks to the digital revolution, though, a little subtlety could be coming back. With the right software it's easy to reverse a music file on a computer and there are websites which allow you to listen to the likes of Queen or Britney Spears backwards, with helpful notes claiming that that Johnny-Vegas-eating-peanuts noise is actually Freddie singing, "It's fun to smoke marijuana", or Britney declaring, "Sleep with me, I'm not too young."
The only problem is that these, like nearly all examples of so-called back-masking, are the discovery of the kind of imagination that has no problem interpreting pretty much anything, even the sound of Johnny Vegas eating peanuts, as pertaining to sex, drugs, Satanism or all three.
One notorious example is in Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven where "If there's a bustle in your hedgerow/don't be alarmed now" was somehow interpreted as a reversed: "There was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan."
Although this vision of the devil as a kind of proto-Handy Andy is more convincing now than in the 1970s, it does seem that almost any two-syllable word can be misinterpreted as "Satan" when listened to backwards.
Sometimes the devil isn't even necessary. Brit-metal squealers Judas Priest ended up in court after parents bizarrely claimed that their sons' suicide pact was inspired by a back-masked exhortation "Do it!" on the band's 1978 Stained Class album. Fortunately the defence established that if back-masking messages worked it would be counter-productive to use them to kill off your fans.
Confusingly, though, the 1980s fake message furore did result in some acts taking up the challenge for real with a series of parodies and in-jokes. Ozzy Osbourne introduced a backwards "your mother sells whelks in Hull", before his Bloodbath In Paradise, but Prince's Darling Nikki was probably the most disconcerting for our moral guardians. His world-beatingly filthy ode ended with the back-masked Christian message: "I know that the Lord is coming soon, coming, coming soon."
A version of this tactic has been taken up by Franz Ferdinand. Their debut album features: "Call your mother, she's worried about you" before the second verse of Michael and they recently claimed there are equally fan-nurturing messages buried on their current album, You Could Have It So Much Better.
Maybe this is more common than you'd expect. It would explain why on black metal albums, supposedly about Satan, the vocals are so garbled that it sounds like they're being sung backwards. The devil might have the best tunes, but could it be that the other side are cleverer than we thought?

Tony's Scott's films were famously testosterone-fuelled, and he was as manly as they come. Scott's idea of relaxation was to scale sheer rock-faces and ride motorcycles. He collected Harleys and Ferraris, is said to have run every day, slept three hours each night, and breakfasted on black coffee and cigars. Nothing, he would say, can capture the thrill of clinging to a craggy precipice without support. Nevertheless, he told an interviewer, "The biggest edge I live on is directing. That's the most scary, dangerous thing you can do in your life."
When I interviewed Ridley Scott, Tony's older brother, this year, he said, "Tony's very macho. He'll still climb bloody El Capitan; I tell him he's a f***ing idiot." El Capitan is a 3,000ft vertical rock formation in Yosemite National Park: a daunting challenge for any climber, let alone a 68-year-old.
The Scotts, who grew up in North Shields – and retained their Geordie accents – were always close, personally and professionally. Their older brother, Frank, a shipping captain, died of cancer in 1980. Ridley's first short film, Boy and Bicycle, starred 16-year-old Tony, riding the streets of West Hartlepool, and in 1967, Ridley set up his TV advertising firm and lured his brother to join him by promising he'd have enough money to buy his first Ferrari within a year.
The younger Scott directed countless commercials, funding Ridley's forays into feature films. Later, after both became Hollywood power-brokers, they bought Shepperton Studios, and established their own film and TV production company.
Tony was a mentor to young filmmakers. He gave Quentin Tarantino his break, by buying and directing the unknown video store employee's screenplay, True Romance. Tarantino used the proceeds to produce his directorial debut, Reservoir Dogs. Director Duncan Jones shot his sci-fi debut Moon at Shepperton, and said yesterday: "Tony… took me under his wing and ignited my passion to make films."
Bobette Buster was Scott's creative development executive for seven years, and instrumental in his discovery of Tarantino. "Tony was exceptionally generous with his success," she said yesterday. "He'd gift anyone who contributed to his film during production, no matter how lowly their position, with extravagant items, such as Il Bisonte luggage, wine or massive bouquets of flowers. Scott smoked Churchill cigars shipped from London, and he loved to share them."
He inspired great affection and loyalty in his crews, Buster said. "He always wore the same all-pink outfit: a worn pink baseball cap, pink t-shirt and pink shorts with mountain boots. On the last day of production, his crew would show up in the same get-up."
