this is so done..i cant remember where..but as soon as i laid my eyes on the ad i knew i had seen it before.
Not again...It's ok for students only. I think we all removed a Matroska concept from our portfolio for that reason.

It's done to death, really. I could find more all night long...
Agree. But nothing is new in Advertising. Every idea's been done over and over
I think its a solid concept and insight though.
I don't agree with the above comments. Just about anything has been done in advertising and those who keep saying "done" "done" are beginning to sound like broken records. This new execution is still excellent and context appropriate. Also, most of the examples given above are NOT even DM, but PRINT.
Okay, we've *all* landed on the Matryoshka on our journeys to that golden metaphor; the reason it's a cliche is because in many instances it's the right one, even if for us it seems like the easy option. It's a case of what it's used for, how it's used, and in our industry Who The Target Is. Got to agree with atb on this, to a point. This isn't a game, or a point-scoring exercise (pencils notwithstanding) - surely it's a forum for us to discuss the efficacy of the campaign, ad, DM, whatever. A copied idea is safely in the hands of joelapompe, and that's where 'Done' should rightly live.
The Matryoshka is from 1890, and we've *all* seen it before. We work with metaphors, so it's inevitable. The recipients of this DM most likely haven't seen it used in this way before: neither have we, and I think it's proper to 'judge' this campaign on its merits, as atb rightly says. And in that vein, I think the copy is totally wrong. Ending a message stream with 'human' makes it look like the audience think sex workers are aliens. Totally failing the effort on copy.
The line ".. is still human" does not bother me. It means that even sex workers have human rights or should be treated humanely. It is the next line - respect their human rights - that could potentially be viewed as wrong because it suggests that the TA perhaps does not respect their human rights. Still, there's more copy on the inside of the box, which we can't read. Once again, I think you are being overly harsh with your rating. Vis a vis the use of matryoshkas as a metaphor, I don't see how it makes more sense in, say, the Diesel ad or the Danone ad.
My rating was mostly on the messaging, what I see of it, and you're right, maybe it is overly harsh based on the little info we can see. I'm not fully familiar with the legalities in SA, but I think it's a very clumsy ending to confuse decriminalisation with human rights. I'll back down on this though, I'm looking past the message into the client's actual strategy, which probably can't be touched by the agency.
Hey CuriousPencil, unfortunately in South Africa, Sex Workers really do have no rights. The police arrest them, take their money and beat them. If the sex workers wants to report a client abusing them, they have no rights and the cops do not help. It's a sad reality here that the Police are often very opinionated and use their power to enforce this, rather than doing their job and helping EVERYONE. Hope that clears it up.
Note: SOME police, not all of them are corrupt.
I think "still Human" is more snappy line in the context of the copy.
The alternative would be "still a person", but this feels soft and schmaltzy and takes it into the territory of "poor us. Nobody respects us"

The countdown towards the World Championships dream has started: six months and 21 days before the UCI Road World Championships Toscana2013, the most important sports event happening in Italy and in the whole world in 2013.
On the roads ridden by the greatest champions like Gino Bartali, Fiorenzo Magni, Alfredo Martini, Gastone Nencini and Franco Ballerini, in September there will be over one million five hundred thoUSAnd spectators, including 7,000 accredited people, among which 1,500 journalists, 250 connected broadcasters from 180 different countries and over 90 represented countries: astonishing numbers.
The first symbolic race towards Toscana2013 is starting from BiCiFi – Florence Bike Festival – the great event taking place from 1st to 3rd March in Fortezza da Basso, the evocative stage of the city, that will gather hundreds of fans and amateurs of the two wheels.
Among the many stands of the festival, a prominent place is reserved for the area dedicated to Toscana2013. Here visitors can pick up the program of all the World Championships races.
Athletes hunting for titles are passing from Florence, Lucca, Pistoia, Montecatini Terme and Fiesole; for this reason in the area of the "World Championships" set in BiCiFi, there is also an exhibition area dedicated to the five towns that from 22nd to 29th September are going to be the heart of the two wheels world. On the opposite side of the stand, whose green arrangement is furnished by Giorgio Tesi Group, a group of nurseries in Pistoia, UCI Road World Championships Italian Partner, visitors can also have a virtual view of the routes leading to the title. Everybody has the opportunity to ride on five lanes, characterized by the World Championships colors, by facing five screens that are displaying the images of the routes. One of the five lanes is dedicated to the many famous guests who will attend the stand of Toscana2013.
Finally it's important to mention that, among the various activities organized by BiCiFi, the first edition of the "granfondo Firenze De Rosa", scheduled for march 2nd, is an extraordinary opportunity for the participants who have the honor of riding on the roads that next September 2013 is hosting the "made in Tuscany" World Championships.

Boeing does have one airplane with a long record of stress failures in its fuselage, the 737.
He hit the fuselage of his F-100 when he ejected, breaking his arm, damaging his eye and injuring his back.
The fire seems to have reached the fuselage from the right engine only after the airplane slewed around on the ground.
However, integrity of the fuselage structure is not an absolute guarantee that an explosive decompression will not occur.
In both cases there was a sudden loss of cabin pressure as part of the fuselage structure failed.
Meanwhile enemy bullets have crashed through two spars, shot away a rudder-control, and ripped several parts of the fuselage.
He gestured furiously toward the fuselage of the old Supernova.
He recognized it by the mysterious pod it carried under its body, three-quarters as long as the fuselage.
How the fuselage and tail plane stood the strain of it, God knows.
"'Tis safer in the air," said Tam as he swung into his fuselage.
1909, from French fuselage, from fuselé "spindle-shaped," from Old French *fus "spindle," from Latin fusus "spindle" (see fuse (n.)). So called from its shape.

I went to see Dr. Partington for surgery on my platysmal muscle in my neck, and decided to have lipo on my lower stomach. What a DREAM!
The lipo was a last minute addition, and i couldn't be happier. Dr. Partington is a true professional and gentleman. He and his team made me feel comfortable from the start, I can't speak highly enough of him.
I've had two children, and honestly, my lower abs are flat. I exercise quite a bit, which is important, but my stomach is flatter than it was before i had the kids. So, thanks Dr. P and hope this review helps others evaluating the surgery, and Dr. Partington.

We took our time choosing the materials, finishes, and appliances -- sometimes changing our selections several times.
We started with photographs of kitchens we liked; doodled out floor plans; gathered material samples.

About Me
I recently had a child but ready to shoot again!
TF's only. After this transition, I don't expect someone to pay me just yet as I will not expect to day someone.
I'm the youngest daughter to a father who never got a son, so I was taught sports and cars. I'm a tom-boy who grew up into heels and starbucks but underneath it all, I will still play tackle football in the mud just after getting my hair styled. I'm a drum coach at 2 local high schools, I run a football pool from which I've obtained the nick-name "the bookie" and I put tobasco sauce on everything.
I used to weigh almost 170lbs and never thought of modeling as a career of any kind. Then after learning about harsh heart conditions in my family, I decided I didn't want to be another statistic and made drastic life-style changes that after 2-years of living healthy landed me on the scale at 122. With my new healthy body I started getting the attention of various photographers and promoters. One day I thought "what the hell, why not?" gave it a shot and have been loving it ever since. I learn something at ever shoot and encourage criticism.
*Serious offers only please. NO FLAKES!
*Will travel within my means.
*I reserve the right to bring an escort.
*If you have music to listen to when we shoot, I will be happy

Stewart (50m Fly), Kropp (200m Breast) Final At U.S. Summer Nationals
June 26, 2013
Rising USC sophomore Kendyl Stewart finished second in the 50m fly, junior-to-be Andrea Kropp was sixth in the 200m breast while incoming freshman Chelsea Chenault finished sixth in the 200m free on the second day of the 2013 U.S. Summer Nationals in Indianapolis, Ind., on Wednesday (June 26).
Stewart, an All-American as a freshman for the Trojans in 2013, came within a hair of winning the 50m fly and earning a spot on the U.S. World Championships team for later this summer, but her 26.19 was a mere 0.11 out of first place. She also earned a berth in the 200m back final, but gave it up to focus on the 50m fly.
Kropp, third in the 200m breast at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials, was a finalist again here and finished sixth in 2:28.60.
Chenault took sixth in the 200m free in 1:58.74 and has a chance to make the Worlds team as a relay participant depending on how many other swimmers claim individual event spots during the five-day meet that ends on Saturday.
Haley Anderson, who will compete at the Worlds in open water, was fourth in Tuesday's 800m free while rising sophomore Jasmine Tosky was a finalist in the 200m fly, taking sixth. Tosky and Kropp were also All-Americans in 2013.

Around the World in Six Ideas
Government by Nudge
Richard Thaler, who co-authored the 2009 bestseller Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness, has been working with the British government applying his principles of persuasion to tax collection and pension plans. Cass Sunstein, the other co-author, spent much of the first Obama term at the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs looking to convince Americans they could "collaborate" with myriad government regulations. This "libertarian paternalism," as they call it, has become a major ongoing experiment in modifying public behavior. But as Thaler sees it, they're just nudging people to do the right thing. "Make it easy" is their mantra. And if people disagree with automatic enrollment in British pension plans, for instance, they can opt out. The behavioral bet is that few take the initiative. "Of course you don't blazon across the front of that letter, 'We are enrolling you in this pension plan because we know if left to your own devices you are absent- minded and procrastinate and may never get around to this,'" says Thaler. Some critics are uneasy about government manipulating minds in any form. But Thaler insists "nothing is secret, everything is documented; we are not the CIA."
Dogged Determination
Daily Emails and Alerts- Get the best of Newsweek delivered to your inbox
Sometimes scientists seem to be telling us what we already know. Thus a recent study at Britain's University of Portsmouth determined that if you told a dog not to take a piece of meat, then turned out the light so he thought you couldn't see him, he'd likely steal the food anyway. (I once lost half a Thanksgiving turkey like that, but it was no experiment.) What the rigorous testing done with scores of dogs of different breeds at Portsmouth has proved scientifically is that our canine friends really do pay attention to whether or not we are paying attention to what they're doing—a level of cognition that puts them in a category of intelligence that can begin to be compared with primates. "Dogs show some specialized skills in how they read human communications," says Juliane Kaminski, one of the authors of the Portsmouth study. "This seems to be a direct result of selection pressures during domestication." To put it unscientifically, they've been man's best friend so long, it's in their blood. Kaminski says she doesn't know of any similar studies done on felines. But, then, we already know cats don't really give a damn what humans think.
Silicon Egypt
The Internet, which played such an important role in bringing on Egypt's revolution two years ago, may yet help to save its foundering post-uprising economy, according to a recent study commissioned by Google from the Boston Consulting Group. Even though Cairo seems mired in perpetual political crisis, entrepreneurs are excited and in many cases thriving as they exploit the rapidly evolving market for online goods and services. A decade ago the Web was almost nonexistent in Egypt; now 31 million of the country's 85 million people are users, while cellphone penetration exceeds 100 percent in many regions. The Internet economy already contributes as much to the GDP as Egypt's health services or its education sector or oil refining. And the potential for growth remains enormous, because Egyptians are just beginning to get the hang of e-commerce. At the moment, to take one obvious case, Egyptian companies are exploiting only about 5 percent of what the study estimates is a potential $2 billion online marketplace for travel and tourism. "The report underscores that the opportunity is now," says entrepreneur Chris Schroeder, author of the forthcoming book Startup Rising: The Entrepreneurial Revolution That's Remaking the Middle East.
Reality Plus—or Minus
The ever-expanding concept of "augmented reality" is now upon us. We may not all have our Google Glass specs with heads-up display as yet. (Google is holding a hackathon this month to get more apps going for the prototypes.) But our cellphones already give us plenty of information about our surroundings, providing readouts on everything from weather to medical data, business backgrounds, and basic history. Georgia Tech's Blair MacIntyre, an apostle of augmentation, sees it as one of those developments like, say, Twitter and Flickr and YouTube, that just become part of our lives. It can "really transform the way people think about information," he told a recent meeting of the World Economic Forum, and the aim is to "address real human needs." But he also raises an interesting question: is it possible that categorizing everything around us will, in his phrase, "take away the realness of the world"? He thinks not. Still, it is pretty easy to imagine the day when just looking at the setting sun won't seem enough. We'll need a readout on the distance, the temperature, and all those pollutants that are giving the sky such a divine color.
Speaking Up
Leslie Morgan Steiner was a Harvard grad, had a successful career, three beautiful kids, and a charming husband who eventually beat her and threatened her life with a gun to her head. In her book Crazy Love and on the speaking circuit, Steiner is now telling her story of romance, terror, and survival, but perhaps more important, she says she's found the answer to stopping the kind of abuse she suffered. "I broke the silence," she told the audience at a recent TED Talk. "I told everyone: the police, my neighbors, my friends and family, total strangers, and I'm here today because you all helped me." There are millions of cases of domestic violence in the United States. (Recent government studies estimated as many as five children a day die of abuse or neglect.) But by sharing the truth about what is happening, those who suffer can find support. As if to reaffirm this idea, President Barack Obama gave a shout-out to the Senate in his State of the Union address for finally passing legislation meant to curb domestic violence that has been languishing for 20 years. "Abuse," says Steiner, "thrives only in silence."
This Land's Not Your Land
Agribusiness concerns and rich little nations with big appetites are buying up enormous tracts of land at a phenomenal rate in poor, often politically unstable countries—and the results are likely to make those countries poorer and more unstable still. In one well-known case, the United Arab Emirates grew sorghum in Sudan, where it would normally feed people, then shipped it back home for the camels. In northern Mozambique, a Brazilian-Japanese venture plans to farm more than 54,000 square miles, an area as big as Pennsylvania and New Jersey combined, then export the crops on the world market. Local communities find themselves dislocated and deracinated. In Mali, that process helped fuel resentments that led to civil war. In Cambodia, where 55 percent of arable land has been acquired by domestic and foreign agribusiness, authorities have harassed, jailed, and in some cases killed those who protest. Part of a solution, according to Michael Kugelman of the Wilson Center, is to get the World Bank and other international organizations to make sure they aren't funding such operations. But the gluttonous world market may be creating hunger—and anger—in local communities for many years to come.

The latest articles in Psychology Today or ELLE would have you believe that women who speak openly about sex are a new phenomenon. These articles would have us believe that women until recently have been passing the time in neat knitting circles limiting their conversations to celebrity gossip and chicken recipes.
NEWSFLASH: Women did not passively wait for permission from the cast of Sex and the City to divulge the most intimate details of their sex lives to their girlfriends while sipping martini's.
Sex in the City reflected the culture of women; not originate it. Women have always talked about sex. Not only have women always talked about sex, we started the conversation early; long before any of us were actually having any! I clearly remember when, after parents had gone to bed and the latest Teen Beat shared, we would huddle our sleeping bags together in a circle and have exhaustive discussions about boys. Like most women, slumber-parties were where I started sharing the details of my love life and I haven't shut up since. During these late-night summits I ceased to be an awkward adolescent and transformed into a self-assured dame as described in Jackie Collins' novels; only wearing Wonder Woman Underoos and braces. Swapping experiences and feelings with friends granted me permission to feel 'normal', that no amount a parental guidance could offer. I found chatting with fellow floundering teens to be comforting, empowering, and liberating.
Fast forward to adulthood, years after I had first 'done the deed' and I'm still just as fascinated by sex. I love reading about sex, watching sex, and talking about sex; and from what I see I'm not alone. Be it wine bars, parks, blogs, or chat forums; women everywhere are spilling the dirty details of their sex lives. I thought nothing but good could come from such freedom and open communication.
Until recently…
Last week I found myself in a self-induced nosedive. The worst kind of slump, the kind you can't blame on anyone else. Somehow I had created a mental shackle, binding myself with self doubt as I compared my sexual attitude and aptitude.
Threads on lifestyle forums like OurHotWives, lively Craigslist personals, and even op-ed's in the Huffington Post, had me believing that life is one magnificent orgy and that everyone, including their mothers {literally}, are partaking in hot, sweaty sexual free-for-alls. But wait, is everyone really having all this audacious sex? Where was I in all of this? I am very open minded and have enjoyed the benefits of being so, but with such a plethora of sexual resources to extract information and ideas from I began to doubt the one thing I had been sure of…my ability to sexually satisfy my partner. From how to enhance my orgasms with pillow props, how to give the best blowjobs, and the best ways to approach a threesome; there is hardly a subtopic of sex I haven't read or tried. However, my open mind began to betray me. I began to question myself, "Wow, if she can do that, why can't I?" I questioned the limitations I placed on myself and wondered why they were there. Are my sexual boundaries due to society or personal preference? As I explored deeper, I began to ask questions like, "If I could have casual sex as a single woman and feel good about it, why can't I have casual sex while in a relationship?" "Swinging and open marriages seem to work for some…could it work for me? Us?" "Is an open marriage/relationship the key to relationship longevity and happiness?" Because I'll tell you something, those who speak about having an open marriage seem pretty goddamn happy; with pictures to prove it! Hey, I enjoy sex just as much as they do! I don't want to miss out on all that fabulous fun!
This is when I began to crash and burn; where my fantasies challenged reality. I began to think of the Why's. Why would I swing? Why do I want an open relationship? Why do I feel the need to 'compete' ? My heart began to ache when considering some of the significant ramifications participating in an open lifestyle could potentially have on my relationship with my husband…our family. I was comparing myself, not to other people, but the real me against the fantasy me…the me I knew I could be…the me I thought I was! I became disappointed in myself. I was weak, I was small, and that I couldn't play with the big girls…that I wasn't one of the big girls. I began to doubt that the person I am {at least the person I am today} could please my husband. How could he stay married to a woman like me? How could he ever be fully 'satisfied' by a woman like me? How will he handle me 'changing the deal'? I even told him that life was too short to live in disappointment and regret (meaning you should run now while you have the chance)! I disappointed myself and it sucked…hard.
Then I read a beautiful article by Alyssa Siegel, an article that granted me permission to feel 'normal', again. Even though I never needed anyone's permission, it helped me open my eyes to the way I was treating myself. It helped me realize that my compassion and acceptance was gifted to everyone except myself. My 'live and let live' attitude didn't apply to me! I appreciated why some chose to live as 'Ethical Sluts' while others in monogamous monotony but never gave myself the same consideration. Armed with this revelation I decided to move forward by NOT moving forward. To spend time in the now and give myself the opportunity to discover my own sexual comfort level, free of comparisons and free from judgments. Time to clarify my motivations and desires. This, to me, is the ultimate form of sexual liberation!

Vision Task Force Final Report:
Shaping the Future of UAF
Teaching and Learning for Student Success
We have developed recommendations that will be a positive first step in identifying and assessing the concerns shared with the task force. Now, the heavy lifting will begin as the strategic vision is developed, followed by evaluating how to achieve the strategic vision, setting goals and, finally, implementing them with measurable results. This process will require a diligent champion and full support from the chancellor.
Recommendation One:

The Metallic Destroyer, they call me, the Nightmare. No blood-blushed lips. No quivering eyelashes. Not one follicle of hair. My pumps hiss at varying rates: thirty and ten and fifteen compressions a minute. Each system whirring with its separate sound: circulatory and lymphatic and so much more. I no longer speak, but I can hear: Little Miss Nightmare, they call me, just another teenage bad dream.
Skin cells don't heal. The membrane tears, the mechanism stutters, organelles leak out beyond their lipid wall, and then finally the entire mess is subsumed by the body's cleanup crew. The immune system, people call it. Killers are what they really mean as the macrophages enthusiastically envelope their prey. Even at the cellular level, human bodies have no problem killing their own. The goal, after all, is preservation of the whole.
'Preservation' is a word my Momma always unreservedly embraced. At sixteen, after a decade of waiting, I'm ready to crush it.
Golden-curled and five years old, it was only a matter of time until I figured Momma out: the costumes and makeup, the perfectly white teeth, all those hours spent rehearsing on our brown, matted living room rug.
All for Momma and her Little Miss Dream Team title.
Winners persevere, Momma told me. Survival is the key. By survival she meant poise and grace and cherubic unmarked skin. All those contest points piling up as I walked the well-lit stage. Judges, with their carefully maintained smiles, offered up their numbers on white rectangular boards. Five might be young, but even then I could smell it; somehow, Momma had gotten it wrong.
The city tasted foul through my unfiltered mouth. My eyes watered whenever I stepped outside. Still, I smiled across that wooden stage. Momma's hands gripped mine as we stood together in our bleeding pink and lace. The spotlights hid all eyes but hers as we sang our duet.
The lining of the human stomach is replaced in less than three days. Skin cells only last a couple of weeks. Red blood cells don't even get half a year. The body of a forty-year-old woman carries, at most, microscopic traces of the child she once was. Course, Momma had no idea what I was thinking. It wasn't just age that separated Momma from me.
Despite the hair dye, the weight charts, and all the sprays that colored our skin, there were only a handful of ribbons above our mantel and one lone plaque—no trophy. Meanwhile, outside, the city's welded, metallic Little Miss Nightmares roamed lipless and free. The truth was easy to dissect: transformation, not "survival," was the natural order of things.
Sixteen is the age of no regrets. It's also the age of consent. The light shone white across my naked flesh. "Count backwards from ten," they told me. I could see their pink lips moving beneath the cotton masks. I breathed in deeply, closed my eyes. Only my feet felt the chill.
When I woke up the spotlight was gone. Strange violet shades filled my eyes, extra blues and a few more shades of red.
It was what they left behind that surprised me: the ribs, the irises and both corneas. Lines still ran wild along the palms of my hands. Despite all the money and the long hours of work, it was a patchwork job: the metal struts visible across my torso. My breasts were gone along with most of my skin.
Still, it could have been worse.
I used to be so sad at five and then at ten and finally at sixteen, despite the broad pouting lips that drew in the band boys with the puppy-dog eyes. Black t-shirts hung from their frames. Smoke trailed from their fingers.
I can smoke my own cigarettes now. No worries about tongue cancer or wrinkled skin. No lips, of course. I consume energy in different ways. Even my teeth are gone.
When I was younger, Momma wrapped my hair in those cheap, pink curlers, scrubbed my skin clean. So much unlined skin.
"Don't touch," she'd say, slapping my hands away from my face.
The makeup itched. My hair felt like lacquered straw. Momma and I wore matching dresses of cyber-pink and a shade of midnight-blue eyeshadow designed exclusively for the pageant floor. No matter the venue, our talent was always the same: the song "Don't Know Much." Momma sang the Aaron Neville part while I warbled Linda Ronstadt's lyrics.
I got a mini marshmallow every time I got my words right.
I didn't even tell my Momma before I headed out. Didn't see the point.
Doves are the symbol of peace. That's what the receptionist told me when I entered the Pagette Medical Center. I stood before her desk, staring up at the picture hanging on the wall. A soot-covered pigeon, or perhaps a crow, was reaching for the branch in a dove's beak. The dove seemed unconcerned. Perhaps he was ready to let that branch go.
Living in the city, I know something about birds, more than the artist it seemed. The garbage pickers and the peace bringers are not all that different from each other. Dove, it turns out, is just another word for pigeon. We're all garbage pickers in the end.
All willing to let go of our branches and battle for what remains.
I could hear the whispers from across the street: Little Miss Nightmare. I took a step and then another, resting for a moment on the concrete walk, listening to the rasp of all those shiny new pumps. Looking at more colors than I ever imagined.
I could taste the electric current running along the wires. I could smell the anger in the air. The colors of their sidewalk-screams as I strode forward were brighter than either cyber-pink or midnight-blue. I had my metal trophy, finally, shuffling across the concrete floor.

- Do you "borrow" a girl's cell phone in order to get her digits because she won't give them to you?
- Do you ignore her when she tells you that "you are too young to date" because you are "Philly's Johnny Depp"? Chicks dig you – she will dig you -you've got muscles – lots of them.
- When lifting heavy stuff do you do it slowly – like you have an audience?
- Do you make sure she sees you flexing even if you are standing still doing nothing?
- Does your late model Honda have a custom paint job reflecting your deep love for Louis Vuitton?
- Do you show her your "stage combat reel" the one with you running around in a loin cloth with a tomahawk set to the musical stylings of Green Day (including a lot of slow motion and close-ups of your abs)? Do you consider this your answer to what is foreplay?
- Do you go for the "let me give you a back massage move" because you think it's not creepy at all? If she walks away the second you try to touch her – do you think that she's just playing hard to get?
- Do you text her with some "flowery talk" because girls like that?
Philly's Johnny Depp: What up?
ME: Who is this?
Philly's Johnny Depp: ******
ME: How did you get my number?
Philly's Johnny Depp: 😉
Philly's Johnny Depp: What's your favorite color?
ME: I don't have one.
Philly's Johnny Depp: Favorite dessert?
Me: Anything with chocolate -nothing with fake fruit flavor.
Philly's Johnny Depp: fav movie?
ME: I don't Sophie's Choice my favorite movies.
Philly's Johnny Depp: Flower?
ME: just circle 'd' all of the above.
Philly's Johnny Depp: huh?
ME: clearly you are running some sort of psych test on me…let me cut to the chase: I am too crazy for you.
Philly's Johnny Depp: LOL Ur funny & ur hot. lets hang.
ME: no.
Philly's Johnny Depp: you be missin out on this
Philly's Johnny Depp: (PIC)* Philly's Johnny Depp throwing a gang sign, shirtless, flexing in a bathroom mirror – the flash obscuring his face (and yes you can smell the Drakkar through the phone.)
Diagnosis: There is only one Johnny Depp, just ask Richard Grieco and no, I am not interested and no, I am not just being "cute" and yes, you are a douche.

None for me yet, but maybe soon.
Well, almost two months later...my first shot.
18 weeks
Yeah it totally is! I almost got it in pink but decided the red was a nice Christmas-y color. Plus I have hardly anything (pre-pregnancy or pregnancy) in red. I have tons of pink stuff.
I decided to exchange it for a smaller size. It was pretty big, and I first though, I'll grow into it, but then also figured, I may not be HUGE during sweater season, you know? Come March and April when we're bigger, it won't be winter (at least not where I am). So I'm waiting for the large to come. I got the hooded cardigan in red, since I don't have ANY red either.
Here are my 13 and 16 week shots. Not too much to see. Still in my pre pg clothes, just a litter rounder.
13 weeks
16 weeks
Adding week 18. Look I am showing.
Week 18
Week 20
Week 20 showing off my stretch marks
Army wife - Mama to Liam (9/07), Laine (5/09), and Eliza (7/11)
17 weeks added My bellybutton is about halfway out now, it was flat for DS's pregnancy so I wonder if I'll have an outy this time around.
Lotus blossom, you certainly won't have to ask me that question!
I updated my pix in post #86.
Lookin' good ladies!

|Deviant Art
|Things you need to know: I am basically never here. DA has basically become a writhing cesspool of softcore pornographers, art thieves, a useless and unresponsive staff that doesn't care one lick about its userbase, terrible memes and macros, Nazi sympathizers, enormous racists, people who think rape isn't a big deal, and ye olde "it's my styyyyyle" whiners, so these days I only ever come here to look at a few specific artists' work. On top of that, real life tends to take precedence over the internet, and I'm not a good enough artist for art to be anything but a hobby, so don't be surprised if I take EONS to respond to any messages, if I even manage. I realize I sound like a crusty old curmudgeon, but that's because, by internet standards... well, I am. If you want to befriend me, try tumblr, although you may be put off by all of my angry liberal blogging. Sorry. : /

Damaris Johnson, a senior wide receiver at Tulsa and already the Bowl Subdivision career leader in all-purpose yards, has been suspended indefintely.
Coach Bill Blankenship made the announcement Friday afternoon and said he would have no other comment.
The move comes a day after Johnson's girlfriend, Chamon Jones, was arrested on a complaint of felony embezzlement by Tulsa police.
The Tulsa World, citing Tulsa police spokesman Leland Ashley, reported Johnson was brought in for questioning in connection with his girlfriend's arrest, but was released "pending further investigation."
Jones is an employee at a Macy's store in a Tulsa mall. The World, citing the police report, said Johnson last Saturday used his girlfriend's debit card at the Macy's where she works to buy $1,596.09 in merchandise but was charged only $12.91 by Jones. The report also says Johnson made purchases Aug. 18 at the store totaling $1,238.75 but was charged only 34 cents.
The Golden Hurricane open their season Sept. 3 at top-ranked Oklahoma.
In an odd twist, Johnson's suspension came only a couple of hours after the arrest and suspension of LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson. Johnson and Jefferson were teammates at Destrehan (La.) High.

To protect against tree limbs and other impacting objects, lighting manufactures offer raised brush guards or deflector mounts. Some have found ways to make lighting fixtures smaller without losing brightness.
Truck-Lite introduced a ¾-inch LED clearance/marker lamp almost two years ago. Peterson recently announced its version. These small lamps can be recessed into structural members and panels to protect from impact.
But there are several problems manufacturers can't guard against. For example, incandescent lamps have glowing filaments that thin and burn out as lamps age.
Many truck manufactures offer LEDs because they cost less than incandescent lamps. LEDs also work well even when voltage is at or below nine volts.
To help with visibility on night pours, many producers have been adding work lights. These lights are subject to shock and vibration damage like other incandescent lights. But this problem may be solved. Truck-Lite just introduced a white LED work light that offers greater reliability in rugged nighttime operations.
Another product that can help dispel the dark is Nite Lite, the first portable work zone light designed specifically for road construction. The Nite Lite is lightweight and easily transportable, providing a non-glaring white light for all moving and static nighttime construction projects. The Nite Lite draws only four amps at 120 volts AC from a 60Hz electrical source. Light output is rated at 42,000 lumens, which is sufficient to light a 15,000-square-foot area.
When operating in remote areas without a portable generator, your trucks can produce an ample supply of 120-volt AC current for up to four Nite Lite units with an on-board inverter. Prices vary, but higher quality inverters like those from Xantrex stand up best to shock and vibration and have lowest internal current losses.

A Cornell expert has some advice on picking out a Christmas tree and how to keep it looking good longer. Brian Eshenaur is from Cornell Cooperative Extension's Integrated Pest Management Program, and he told us the most popular trees that folks tend to pick out for the living room.
He has some tips on how to keep it fresh for weeks to come.
When picking out a pre-cut tree, it's important to get hands-on.
Eshenaur says the color is a good hint at a tree's health.
Avoid a tree if the needles are shedding or the branches break off easily.
He says each tree will be a little bit different when it comes to daily water intake, but no matter what, it always needs water.
He says it's good to buy a tree locally: you can know when it was cut, you support Finger Lakes Christmas Tree Farms, and it's good for the local economy.
Don't place your Christmas Tree next to the furnace or fireplace. The heat could cause the tree to catch fire.

Reggie Lee
Jump to
Before he became widely known as the sardonic cop Sgt. Wu on the NBC fantasy series "Grimm" (2011- ), Reggie Lee built his career playing tough guys in both movies and television. His first major role came in 2001 when he was cast as a villainous biker in "The Fast and the Furious." The action-driven racing movie went on to earn over $200 million at the box office, thus catapulting Lee and the rest of his cast into the national spotlight. From there the offers began to pour in, with Lee playing similar bad guy roles in movies like "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" (2006) and Sam Raimi's "Drag Me to Hell" (2009), as well as on the popular FOX series, "Prison Break" (2005-09). With his most recent role on "Grimm," however, Reggie Lee has proven he's just as effective playing a wisecracking police detective, thus cementing his status as a versatile character actor with a bright future of colorful roles ahead of him.

NBC's Brian Williams uses Limbaugh's words to describe UN meeting as "Star Wars" "bar scene"
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From the September 23 edition of NBC's Nightly News:
Loading the player reg...
Williams in December 2004: "I do listen to Rush ... I've been listening for years. I think it's my duty to listen to Rush":
WILLIAMS: I do listen to Rush. I listen to it from a radio in my office, or depending on my day, if I'm in the car, I will listen to Rush. And he will tell you I've been listening for years. I think it's my duty to listen to Rush. I think Rush has actually yet to get the credit he is due, because his audience for so many years felt they were in the wilderness of this country. No one was talking to them.
Rush said to millions of Americans, you have a home. Come with me. For three hours a day you can listen and hear the like-minded calling in from across the country, and I'll read to you things perhaps you didn't see that are out there. I think Rush gave birth to the FOX News Channel. I think Rush helped to give birth to a movement. I think he played his part in the Contract with America. So I hope he gets his due as a broadcaster [C-SPAN, 12/26/2004].
From the September 23 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: Well, I'm telling you, when Obama says America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements, he's not speaking for me. And I don't know how many Americans he is actually speaking for in this dreadfully frightening and scary speech today before the Star Wars bar scene. The world, ladies and gentlemen, is on the brink of destruction. We face, daily, a threat that could wipe us out. What is that threat? Muslim extremists? Terrorists? International thug cartels? No! No. This is the threat.

I am new to the whole vaccine issue. I vaccinated my first 2 kids dutifully, no questions asked. With kid 3, I kept having to put off vaccines (vaccines were pricey, then we were moving, then he had a cold, etc.) and before I knew it, he was 10 mos old and still hadn't received a single vaccine. I felt guilty and the two times I took baby to the doctor I was soundly scolded for not yet vaccinating him - I was told I was unresponsible and taking chances because we live in the middle east and are exposed to more diseases than, say, people in the US. I then came across a few articles about the inefficiency of vaccines, the many possible negative side effects, etc. I'm now rethinking vaccinating him at all. I know that the only vaccines available here are in sets of 4 or 5 vaccines. So even if I wanted to selective vax, I doubt it would be possible.
My main concern is - is my kid, living in a 3rd world country (Jordan, with an influx of Iraqi and Syrian refugees thrown in) more at risk for more diseases than his 1st world counterpart - and therefore more in need to be dutifully, responsibly vaccinated??
"Paradise lies at the feet of mothers"
If it were me...Yes I would vaccinate. But only those vaccines that show a lesser risk and are a danger. Not much help, but my gut yes I would.
Here I've only started with DS being 2 and DTaP. that's the only one so far that made sense to me.
DS 10/09 DS 2/17/11 Blessing #3 sometime 2/13
I live in a 3rd world country (South American), do you know what are issues/outbreaks in jordan or vax they use there?
My daughter did get BCG (which I regret), hep B (which I regret), and 3 rounds pentacel. They use oral polio like crazy here, huge campaigns, so I wanted her to get the injected polio. I also wanted her to get DTaP, and was ok with pentacel personally, but I also did the Hep B separately from that and spaced. She is almost 2 now.
I opted out of rota and prevnar, men C (which they do 3 months, 6 months and 15-18 months here), yellow fever is given in some high risk areas, which we are not, I´m putting MMR on hold for undecided amount of time... as Hep A doesn´t usually bother children too much I´m not interested in that right now, nor Chickenpox, Flu, etc.
How are vax given there? for example, vax are never given by the drs here, you have to go to a clinic (pay private), or a public health post (free but DTP instead of DTaP, oral instead of injected polio, etc.)
I have been to two different clinics here and one was good and did exactly what I asked (and my pedi agreed on), another tried to push the other vaccines we were missing - not going back to that one! It is kind of nice to have the time this system allows - no split decisions in front of pressuring dr. can take time to do more research after discussing with him and make your own decision.
I would research it from a middle east perspective. What are his odds of getting individual vaccine available diseases where you live? How is the health care where you live?
Treat diseases and vaccines individually and do not make any decisions until you are more sure.
I realise I have not answered your question - the answer is : I don't know. I would need to research more and if I did it at all it would be selective and delayed.
I'm not living in a developing country, but I am staying in one for three months, and I did not vaccinate my children before we came. We had to get the yellow fever vaccine to get in to the country, and I really did consider not coming just because I didn't want to expose my kids to the vaccine. But, the draw of family (my parents live here) won out, although I still feel guilty about it.
Anyway, yes, living in a developing country is going to affect your decisions, but only a little, imho. The issues surrounding vaccines don't change with your surroundings, really. The effects on little people's bodies and brains are the same no matter where you live. The potential side effects from the vpds are nearly the same, no matter where you live. It's true, you can't rely on herd immunity in anywhere close to the same way, depending on where you are, though. I don't think relying on herd immunity is a very ethical or wise thing to do anyway, but I can see how it would come in to play.
If you have visitors coming from the US, you should be able to get them to carry you single dose vials of any vaccines you want that are available where they are, if you can find a physician there who is willing to prescribe it.
My own philosophy is that good nutrition, hygiene and common sense can help a person avoid many illnesses and to lessen the severity and/or complications when they do get sick. It is still a calculated risk though, and only you can say if you're more comfortable with the vaccine or the potential complications from a vpd.
Tough decisions, hey?
For greater things are yet to come...

text: Trying to get a handle on the 3.4 motor used in the Cayman S (mine is a 2008). If this the same motor that was in the early 996 series 911? If not what are the differences? If it is the same did the 996 have the oiling issues that members in this forum have experienced? If not why not? Just trying to get a handle on the history of the motor. Found a 2008 911S with 3400 miles and I am considering trading for it. The dealer price is $76,900. Is this a good price. Not giving up on the Cayman, but always wanted a 911 and this one has the new motor with direct injection. Any and all information will be appreciated.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
In many respects, the Bruins' season ended in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Penguins. While they won a fight against Matt Cooke as a form of retribution for Marc Savard's season-ending concussion, they played some of the most uninspired hockey you'll ever see in mustering only 17 shots on goal. How can a team fighting for their playoff lives against a team that took out their best player put forward such a lackluster effort? Game No. 82 might as well have been that Thursday night.
Not so fast.
The Bruins hardened their grip on the eighth and final playoff spot in the East against team they needed to beat in the 10th place New York Rangers, winning Sunday afternoon 2-1. New York now sits five points back with 10 games to go. Meanwhile, the surging Thrashers currently hold the ninth spot, three points behind the B's with 11 games to go. As fate would have it, the Bruins and Thrashers square off on Tuesday night.
After a scoreless first frame, the Bruins nearly went up 1-0 when Daniel Paille's penalty shot attempt failed to find the back of the net. Miroslav Satan avenged the miss just 23 seconds later with his fifth goal of the season to put the Bruins up 1-0.
The B's increased their lead to 2-0 on a rare goal from the underachieving, under-performing, overrated Dennis Wideman. (Hey, at least I didn't make fun of his mother or something.) Wideman lit the lamp midway through the third period in what turned out to be a pivotal goal. Why?
Well, the Rangers gave the scare when Michael Del Zotto spolied Tuukka Rask's bid for the shutout with just over three minutes left in regulation. Rask finished with 23 saves in the win.
As previously mentioned, the Bruins skate against the 9th place Thrashers on Tuesday night. If they hope to build a new winning streak and claim a playoff spot, they better improve their 1/19 mark on the power play since Marc Savard's season-ending injury..

Knock sensors low inputs. Can't decide If its the sensor torque or connection or wire short.
Disa potentiometer off. Thinking my intake turbine tube is stiff or disa motor going bad

When you're the first stop of the Dew Tour, your scene has got to be tight. Breckenridge brings it correct year after year with an A-grade superpipe, a smooth flow of jibs and tables in Park Lake, and Freeway's gigantic jump lines. Add to the mix three smaller progression terrain parks and a mini-shred pipe, and it's easy to see why this is the place to be.

Home > Research & Publications > HKS Library Virtual Book Tour > Author/Editor Index > Frances Kamm's New Book "Moral Target"
Professor Frances Kamm
Littauer Professor of Philosophy and Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School
The "Moral Target: Aiming at Right Conduct in War and Other Conflicts" comprises essay that discuss aspects of war and other conflicts in the light of both nonconsequentialist ethical theory and the views of such theorists as Barbara Herman, Jeff McMahan, Avishai Margalit, and Michael Walzer. The first essay deals with the relation between states of affairs whose termination justifies war and states of affairs that once achieved should put an end to war. The next few essays deal with conduct in war. They first consider the implications of general moral principles (including the Doctrine of Double Effect and Principle of Permissible Harm) for the permissibility of harm to combatants and noncombatants, and then whether factors unique to war should alter what is permissible. In particular, if the context of war should affect the relative violability of different combatants and different noncombatants, if terror killing combatants and/or noncombatants should ever be permissible, and if there is liability to harm in virtue of belonging to a group.
The fifth essay examines how recent discussions by nonconsequentialists about redirection of threats (as in the famous Trolley Problem) may illuminate the moral status of collaboration that took place with Nazis during the Holocaust. What justice requires after conflict and how our ability to provide it affects the permissibility of starting war, is the next topic. Truth and reconciliation commissions and retribution post-conflict are discussed, and whether harm to civilians stemming from such procedures (and how the harm arises) bear on the permissibility of instituting the procedures. The three concluding essays deal with moral aspects of conflicts outside of standard war, including those involving the threat of terrorism, resistance to communal injustice (for example, in the case of the Taliban women), and the use of nuclear weapons for deterrence.
"It is impossible to do justice, within the scope of a short review, to the breadth and depths of these papers...To those familiar with Kamm's work, this timely collection of essays brings together some of her best known recent writings on the topic as well as new material on emerging issues in just war theory. To those not familiar with it, it provides a wonderful opportunity to enjoy her unrivalled argumentative skills and her superb handling of hypothetical cases...(in this book as in all her other works) one gets a sense not just of a great mind at work on morally urgent issues, but of a profoundly honest mind too. Kamm has that rare quality, in great evidence here, of being willing to say, quite simply, that at crucial junctures she does not have answers but is merely hoping to raise some questions...To do it well, however, and in a way that is genuinely illuminating, is not easy. This book does it superbly well."
— Cecile Fabre, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"Kamm manages to provide a unique and intellectually rich sense of essays in "The Moral Target" that help clarify important moral issues in the context of war... Kamm does not deal exclusively in the abstract netherworld of many philosophers. Instead, her writing engages the reader by dealing with real-world moral problems and related hypotheticals... By tying her analysis to such practical applications, Professor Kamm makes her writing both important for contemporary moral philosophers and accessible to the novice."
— Harvard Law Review
"There are deep issues of ethical theory, such as the relevance of intention to the permissibility of action, that we must understand before we can hope to understand the morality of war and terrorism. No one has done more than Frances Kamm to enhance our understanding of these issues. Her essays on war, many of which are collected in this volume, reveal better than any other work in contemporary just war theory the ways in which careful and meticulous argumentation in ethical theory can illuminate the most important issues in the morality of war."
— Jeff McMahan, Rutgers University

Implementing the Safe Dates curriculum in seven high schools in six New Jersey counties
The Foundation's program, New Jersey Health Initiatives, was designed to support projects in New Jersey that develop new approaches to resolving the state's health care needs, focusing on the Foundation's goal areas.The purpose of this project is to implement "Safe Dates," a dating abuse prevention program for both male and female middle- and high-school students. This research-based program includes four components: a nine-session, dating-abuse prevention curriculum; a play about dating abuse; a poster contest; and a parent awareness program. Princeton Center for Leadership Training will implement "Safe Dates" in seven high schools, spread across six geographically dispersed New Jersey counties, reaching 10,800 high school students over three years: Franklin High School (Somerset County), Haddon Heights High School (Camden County), Hunterdon Central Regional High School (Hunterdon County), Kearny High School (Hudson County), Middlesex High School (Middlesex County), North Hunterdon Regional High School (Hunterdon County), and Trenton School-Based Youth Services Program at Trenton Central High School (Mercer County). As a primary prevention program, Safe Dates will raise students' awareness of what constitutes healthy and abusive dating relationships and the causes and consequences of dating abuse. Students will develop skills and resources to develop healthy dating relationships and to help themselves and others in abusive dating relationships.
