Writing this was hard—not because I didn't know what to say, but because I didn't want to lie. After looking at back-issues and reading letter after letter from the past editor-in-chiefs, I finally decided to be honest. Afterall, I've never been one to care too much about stepping on toes or leaping over boundaries. This position, however, has forced me to lose a little of myself in trying to please the masses. Today, I reclaim that piece. With this letter I intend to please myself. When I was asked to take this position, I was elated. I wasn't happy for long though. Matter-of-fact, the excitement withered away within a few hours. Why? Because I knew that being the editor-in-chief of Journey magazine would be far from easy. What I didn't know and soon discovered was that very few of my journalism colleagues thought I could pull it off. I think that's what bothered me most of all. The old regime wasn't warm to a newbie being in power. To them, I didn't earn my racing stripes. Most of them didn't say much to me after the announcement was made. Those that did were hard to read. The pained congratulatory smiles on their faces showed that they were trying to figure me out in order to take sides. Evidently, a line had been drawn in the sand and I seemed to be on one side of it alone. It hurt. I admit that. I felt like a guy with no swag who was shooed away from a pretty girl for lack of game (pg. 8) Their resentment made me feel like I was inadequate and unworthy of their love or respect (pg. 10). Luckily, I was used to shining on my own (pg. 14) As time passed, I got over it. Those that doubted me became my encouragement and my drive—my tenacity. It made me want to make this issue bigger and better. Much like Another Cinderella Story (pg. 24), working on this issue showed me the strength in humbleness. Fighting every day to prove my capabilities—some that I didn't even know I had, forced me to fall in love with me. Some may call me narcissistic but that's all I need right now. It's funny now but I'm grateful for the skepticism. Naysayers, haters and frenemies alike, I thank you. My appreciation for who I am and what I can produce against the odds runs deeper because you doubtez d me. I'll take your respect over your adoration any day, and at this point, I think I deserve it.

fter a long, stressful day of protecting her young and evading the jungle's numerous dangers, the cougar is on the prowl. She is not hunting deer or sheep, however. This cougar's primary source of nourishment is the Homo sapien male. Meticulously, she stalks the area until she finds the perfect specimen. She is a patient creature and does not attack immediately, though; she waits, biding her time until she is ready to pounce. When she does, the unsuspecting male is blindsided. Stunned and barely able to process what is happening, he is ushered into the cougar's lair where he must meet his fate. The cougar in question is not a wild jungle cat and the male she has managed to ensnare is not dinner. This "cougar" is a woman, one who prefers to have intimate relationships with significantly younger men. Over the past few years, the concept of cougars has become a popular topic, and while the practice is not new, lately it seems to be occurring more and more often. Inside the collegiate realm, many have seen her. She is not always easy to pinpoint and may not be quick to claim her man, but at the same time, she will not pass up an opportunity to flaunt him: taking him out to clubs he normally would not be able to attend; introducing him to the campus socialites; using his meal plan when she sees fit. 06 SPRING 2011 JOURNEYMAGONLINE.COM
The days of fifth-year seniors dating first-semester freshman are upon us. Caleb Ross, an 18-year-old freshman at Florida A&M University, is currently in a relationship with a 23-year-old woman he met at 20/20 Nightclub."I'm a deejay and part of a party promotion group," Caleb says, describing how they first met. "She heard me scratching at the clubs." It is sometimes thought that the status of being a performer attracts a certain type of woman, and while Caleb agrees, he refused to speak generally of all women. "There are women out there that are attracted to men of status," he says, "but the women I was involved with were just that — women." Caleb's current flame is not the first older woman he has been involved with. At age 17, he dated a 26-year-old woman whom he'd also met at a nightclub. Uncannily, he says he has never intentionally searched for "cougars," though he admits that older women do seem to like him. "Status is nothing without a personality," he says, "and I believe the women that I've been involved with are attracted to character before anything else." American women are not alone in these 'alternative' preferences. According to the BBC America documentary "Sugar Mummies," 30 percent of all women in England fit the bill of being a cougar,
35 percent prefer a younger man, and 25 percent of British women are married to a younger man. Roslyn Bazemore, 27, is an elementary school teacher who is currently dating South Carolina State University student Sharod Hasty. Bazemore and the 20-year-old engineering student from Newport News, Va., saw each other for the first time on SC State's campus from opposite sides of a camera. She was visiting her alma mater for a basketball game and needed someone to take a picture of her and her friends. She spotted Bazemore and asked him to capture the moment. In this case, it was Hasty, then 18, who made the move on Bazemore who was 25 at the time. "While taking the picture I noticed her smile," he says. "I had to pursue. I asked the basics, assuming she was my age." Bazemore knew right away that Hasty was younger and was hesitant to head down that road. A friend persuaded her to continue the conversation and eventually she came around to the idea. She decided to give him a chance to see where the road would lead. Bazemore never intended to become a cougar but claims, "the label fell in my lap once it became official with Sharod." She has never dated a younger man before and had no intention of doing so. "At times, I consider myself a cougar when Sharod is acting
immature, but he doesn't mull over my age, and he says, 'You're not a cougar; you're a young black woman. You are the prototype of what every young black woman should want to be.'" There is nothing wrong with dating a younger man; it is all about the relationship and chemistry between two people. According to consumerhealthdigest.com, men hit their sexual peak as teenagers while women peak in their early-to-mid-30s. It makes a certain amount of sense, then, if elder women end up with younger men. This phenomenon isn't restricted to any one social group, either; there are celebrity cougars as well. Vivica A. Fox and 50 Cent are 11 years apart in age, and while they did fine at first, 50 now had a restraining order against her. On the other side of the spectrum, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are also 11 years apart and have been happily married for almost three years. They are expecting twins in March. In the end, regardless of success stories and failures and society's blessing or condemnation, the cougar is a fiercely independent creature and will handle her business her way. She knows exactly what she wants, and when she's hungry, she'll hunt.

o gentlemen, you spot a "10." Cute face, slim waist, and long hair… Then what? Your eyes meet for a split second and you sasasaSSS
prepare to make your move. As you contemplate the perfect pickup line, she is already prepared to turn you down. You see, she's heard them all before. The phrases "Hey, red!" and "Where you goin' sweetheart?" have become as played out as DJ Kd's records on 'Set Friday.' Cool at first, but eventually too routine to impress. Whether it's a smooth line on the way to class or a quick 'ay, gurl' from a passing car, it appears that many college students have yet to master the art of introduction. Let's be real. Approaching a member of the opposite sex can be tough, scary and downright humiliating if done wrong. So, how do you come correct and catch that special person's eye? Dating coach David Coleman calls himself "America's real-life Hitch," and says many collegiate men are still struggling to master the rules of the game. According to Coleman's website, datingdoctor.com, approaching a woman can be intimidating. "Men are confused," Coleman says on his website. "Should they sincerely compliment women at work, at lunch, at the gym or bookstore or will their advances be perceived as harassment?" While many men are trying not to scare off their potential mates, some are still mustering the courage to approach women in the first place. Coleman says the fear of rejection is keeping some men in hiding. "Certain men may be intimidated by the fact that you are attractive and are anticipating that they will be rejected as not good enough to approach you. Others may be hesitant because you have established such a successful career or may live by the motto, "I can't get rejected if I don't ask!" If they refrain from asking you out on a date, they can't get "dissed." 08 SPRING 2011 JOURNEYMAGONLINE.COM
Willie Harris, 19, spends most of his afternoons posted on campus somewhere near Soul Train's makeshift snack shop with his "boys" waiting for a young lady to catch his eye. He knows this is the easy part. Now he just needs to strike up a conversation and get her number. "It's all about delivery," Willie says. "I just say excuse me and go from there. I approach (women) in a cool type of way, not in a 'I'm tryna' holla, I'm tryna smash tonight' type-of-way." Though the second-year business administration student from Jacksonville is still single, he says approaching women is simple. Willie said some behavior is a dead giveaway for who's new on the yard. "I see freshman tryna holla from a distance, but all that 'Hey baby, hey baby' doesn't work anymore. Maybe that worked in high school or their hometown, but this is college. If that doesn't work they'll try to grab a girl's hand but nobody wants to be touched. (Freshmen) just don't show respect." However, freshmen aren't the only ones who use non-traditional methods to pursue women. Second-year engineering student Richard Washington says he respects women, but that his approach depends entirely on what type of girl crosses his path. "You can tell what type of chick you're about to talk to. When girls have too much showing they get no respect. That's when you get the 'hey ass' or 'hey legs.' If a girl got a track missing, I'll tell her to pick her track up," says the 20-year-old Cincinnati, Ohio native who claims his approach isn't disrespectful because the women who receive this treatment invite it with their attire. "It's all about how a woman presents herself is how she gets treated basically. If you dress like a hoe, what do you expect?' Dressed in a cardigan and jeans, Necie Burgess makes her way out of Coleman Library after a long night of studying. A man who appears to be much older than her is sitting on the steps. Clad in all black with a mouth full of gold teeth and wild facial hair, the stranger calls her name. When
Necie, 19, ignores his advances, he runs up to her and grabs her arm. "You see me tryna holla at you," he says in a demanding tone. "You see me tryna get at you. I'm trying to hit tonight, wassup?" The first-year architecture student recalls her Christian upbringing and keeps herself from cursing at him just long enough to gather her thoughts and walk away. She says this happens on a regular basis and that her peers haven't evolved since high school. "Campus is no different than back home. Dudes have no respect. They'll just grab a female by their arm. You ignore them and they just end up talking mad stuff about you like 'Oh you're a hoe. You're this your that.' There's no 'Hi, can I get to know you' its just 'Hey I wanna grab you 'cause you got a nice body.' It's worse here because you would think they would be more mature because they're in college, but that's not the case." Necie credits this behavior to many college students sense of newfound freedom. "They feel like being up here they can do whatever they want. Like I'm a grown man let me get at these chicks in any type of way. Let me try to hit. If they don't get one girl, they can get the next one, but it won't be me. They feel like the majority of the freshman females are promiscuous, but its really the boys. They think they can do whatever they want." Deanna Harris-McKoy works with Florida State's Project RELATE, an initiative by the Department of Family and Child Sciences designed to help improve student relationships. "A lot of college students on both sides simply haven't had a real example of how to approach someone their interested in. There aren't a lot of role models for that type of thing besides their peers," McKoy said. "If their friends or older brothers talk to girls like that and find any type of success then they are likely to emulate that behavior when they go out and approach women." While there's no perfect manual on how to approach women in college,
Necie says she isn't afraid to approach guys. "If I think they're cute, I'm not afraid to do it. If I don't get their number it really doesn't matter. I think the real key is being yourself." While many young women are comfortable striking up casual conversations with prospective 'boos,' some girls are simply too reserved to take the first step. And frankly traditional gender rules give them homecourt advantage. Guys might have to go the extra mile to catch the eye of students like Victorya Thomas, 18. The first-year criminal justice student says she isn't comfortable approaching guys. "I'm too shy," the Tampa native says with a grin. Like Necie, she says the guys she sees on campus have "horrible game" because their approach isn't genuine and gives her male counterparts some advice. "Just talk normal, like you're talking to one of your friends not like you're tryna spit game. Just walk up, strike up a conversation and talk about school, find out common interests and go from there. No one likes lines."

We often hear the word in rhymes and reason, but what really constitutes a hoe? Journey uncovers the truth about promiscuity.
AFTER a laid-back evening filled with flirtatious pillow
talk, Charleston Williamson, 21, was tired. The chemistry that flowed freely between him and his new girlfriend hours before had gone flat. Bored, he decided to make the most of a quiet evening and catch up on some sleep. He rolled over on his side and closed his eyes. It wasn't long before he felt a light tickle on his nose. Reluctantly, his eyes crept open and revealed that his girl had removed her lace underwear and placed them in his face. Charleston's hormones rushed through his veins like fire ants. They consumed him. The rest is history. Weeks later, he was regretting his decision to overlook her laundry list of previous bedmates and take their relationship seriously. Whenever she wanted something, she would use the moments of intimacy they'd shared as a means of obtaining it. Before long, he felt like another notch on a belt that resembled a strip of Swiss cheese. All he wanted to do was give the girl a chance to be in a relationship without pre-judgment. Evidently, it backfired. Charleston is one of many men who have had sexual relations with a woman others have deemed a "hoe." But what exactly is a hoe, and what criteria does one meet to gain hoe-status? "A hoe is someone without self-respect," says Krystal Hope, 20. The technology student from South Florida believes this is why they engage in frivolous sexual activity.
Dorlande Charles, 21, has a different interpretation. She says, "[A] hoe has the ability to remove all feelings and emotions that are tied to sex in order to sleep with many people and uses their body for personal gain." The political science student from Orange County may be on the right track. Merriam-Webster defines a whore as a person who engages in sexual acts for money. It also states that a whore is a promiscuous or immoral woman. While morals are relative from person to person, promiscuity is easier to identify without bias. Yolanda Bogan, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist who considers promiscuity to be indiscriminant sexual behavior. Using this reasoning, she's deduced that a woman who has sex frequently is not necessarily promiscuous. But how frequently is too frequently? Bogan doesn't believe that there is a set cap. She does, however, advise others to use good judgment when accumulating sex partners. Regardless of one's sexual appetite, the number of people a person has sex with puts them at a greater risk of contracting some type of sexually transmitted disease. Bogan also urges students to keep in mind the reality about condom usage. "Even though you may use a condom…it doesn't protect you from everything, such as herpes," she says. In regard to Krystal's views about promiscuity being linked to selfesteem, Bogan doesn't completely agree. "People who are

promiscuous don't necessarily feel bad about themselves. They may feel really wonderful…it depends on who you're talking about and how you define self-esteem," says Bogan. Take Emmylee Rosseau for example. The 21-year-old psychology student from Miami believes that she'd be considered a hoe by society's standards solely because she can separate sex from emotion. "From what I've been told, a woman who has sex with people she isn't in love with or cares deeply about, is a hoe," says Emmylee. She admits that she enjoys sex but doesn't make careless decisions about who she is intimate with. While ladies like Emmylee are being frowned upon because they are sexually liberated, men with the same views as her seem to fly through the hoe radar undetected. "That's because there's a double-standard in the term 'hoe,'" Crystal Guest, 23, says. The social work student from Washington, D.C., believes that is why the term is exclusively used to refer to females. "For women to be seen as sexual creatures is taboo, but men can be hoes too," Crystal says. That may have something to do with why the word has such a one-sided and misconstrued connotation. For it to be so negative, it is used pretty frequently. Ironically, many of the same women unjustly labeled as hoes can be found gyrating in clubs to songs with the word in the lyrics. Some women even refer to their female friends using it. "It's a horrible word to be referred to. I think that for someone to use that word with you [is] an insult," Bogan says.

1. (v.) a simple past tense and past participle of shine. 2. (n.) Miami slang term for the word 'hoe'. [see whore] For Dr. Bogan's full interview and more views on promiscuity visit journeymagonline.com
When all is said and done, she feels that it's most important for students – female, male, hoe and prude alike – to spend some time reflecting on what kind of legacy they want to leave behind. What kind of stories do they want to tell? Charleston's is one with a lesson. At the end of the day, his exgirlfriend wasn't a hoe because she had more than 28 sexual partners and loved a great romp in the sack. She wasn't lewd because she only waited two weeks before giving up the goodies and was brazen enough to take pride in how she could perform between the sheets. It wasn't until she used those facts as justification for material compensation that she crossed the line between sexual liberation and promiscuity. "Now that, my beloved friend," Charleston says, "is a hoe fa'sho." RAHEEM DEVAUGHN - CUSTOMER • 11

2. Room Service Boy meets girl. Boy takes girl to restaurant. Girl dies of boredom. Fellas, switch it up and stay in. Cook dinner and don't have your significant other lift a finger. If they're more hands-on, hire a chef, so you can cook something new together. The affordable 'chef ' service, My Secret Chef, can pitch in and help you wow your Valentine.
3. Shooting Stars Tell your boo to take a hike – literally. For those who love the outdoors, go camping. We suggest sleeping under a blanket of stars at Tom Brown Park. This unique date getaway puts a twist to cuddling in bed. Just imagine the two of you lying there surrounded by grassy fields and trees. It is a little rustic but definitely romantic. Pack a nighttime picnic basket – with chocolate strawberries, Moët, and some protection (you know, from the bugs). This could be quite a night!
4. Exclusive Pieces Yeah, it's cliché but for a good reason. Women. Love. Jewelry. However, picking out a necklace or bracelet can be a challenge, especially on a college student's budget. We suggest going another route. Vintage jewelry may be the solution. It's affordable and oneof-a-kind. Simply Chic Lily Jewelry located 208 Waynard Way is a good place to start. Jewelry in the image is not from Simply Chic Lily Jewelry.
1. Snail Mail This may seem old-fashioned, but that's exactly the point. When was the last time you opened a hand-written love note (or any piece of mail for that matter)? It's much more personal than a text. According to relationship expert and advice columnist, April Masini, it's a great way to seduce your partner. You can say a lot more than a standard Hallmark card. Whether it's mushy and poetic or intimate and provocative, your special signature will make this gift a keepsake.
5. Special Giveaways Make that someone special feel like they've hit the numbers. Instead of a scratch-off ticket, borrow a collection of coupons from givecoupons.com. The trick is it only has a one-time usage. So tell them to use it wisely. The coupons can be as innocent or sexual as you want them to be: a free massage anywhere aside from your boo's back or a free date to a restaurant of their choice. Flip to page 23 for free coupons. You can thank us later!
6. Relationship Remix It's an oldie, but a goodie. Create a personal soundtrack with songs that remind you of your special someone. Here's a tip: add "insider" captions to your pictures that only you and your other half will get. It'll be funny when you watch it together and read them.
1. "All my Life": K-Ci and JoJo 2. "Love": Musiq Soulchild 3. "Incomplete": Sisqo 4. "Panty Dropper": Trey Songz For more song titles vcheck out the bottom of each page.
7. Hidden Message Tell your loved one what you have in store for their future–or just the night, through a simple note. Make your own fortune cookie and slip one to them after dinner. For the step-by-step recipe, check out makefortunecookies.com.
8. Survival Kit Come up with 10 things your valentine will need for the night. It doesn't have to be anything expensive, just items that he/she likes or will set the mood for the night. For example: a pack of Wrigley's Spearmint, a mixed CD full of slow jams, "Love and Basketball", and a Hungry Howie's menu. Place the basket full of goodies in their room or car for them to find. Let 'em decide what to do with all the stuff or you can figure it out together!
9. Hide and Seek Send your partner on a love hunt that leads them straight to you. You can keep it simple with rose petal trails and clues scattered throughout the room or you can go all out with small gifts like candy. At each stop there will be directions to the next place. They'll wind up right back at square one, where they will receive the grand prize *drum roll* you! Cute, right?

10. Happy Endings Recreate a massage parlor at your own place and become your mate's personal masseuse. Gather some lotion, oil, towels, scented candles and relaxing music. Surprise them with a text or note stating they have an appointment with you. It's great one-on-one time. Just be sure to work out all their little kinks *wink, wink.* Visit journeymagonline.com for links to websites that help make each of these choices a reality!

Every year, like clockwork, Journey interviews some of Florida A&M's most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes. After their brains are picked in a round of interviews, the lucky finalists are sent on a speed-dating event where they get to schmooze with the other singles. As the thick tension of chemistry fills the air, Journey soaks in the magic. Later, it is packaged for you to learn a little more about the individuals who made the cut. Take a look at 2011's Super Singles. This year we tried to mix it up and introduce a lineup of guys and gals who tend to fly a little beneath the Rattler radar.
Maria Aisagbonhi: The Bestie Zodiac: Leo Classification: Senior Major: Industrial Engineering Hometown: Worcester, Mass. "I like the lamest guy in the room—the one who doesn't think he's the coolest." Favorite Slow Jam: Luther Vandross – "If This World Were Mine" At first glance you'd probably never guess that Maria Aisagbonhi, 21, grew up with three brothers and has a tomboy streak that runs as deep as her Nigerian ancestry. The first-generation American may have an infatuation with all that is Nike but her poise and grace are telltale signs of class and sophistication. Maria exudes intelligence. As a member of SISTUHS, Inc., The National Society of Black Engineers, and Engineers Without Borders, it's kind of hard not to. Although the slender Gumby's pizza lover enjoys getting dolled up, she's looking for a guy who doesn't mind when she dresses down. "There has to be a level of comfortability," Maria says. That's why she believes that friendships are the best foundation for any relationship.
Janetha Barnett: The Sweetheart Zodiac: Capricorn Classification: Sophomore Major: Nursing Hometown: Miami, Fla. "If you are smart, I'll put your looks on the back burner." Favorite Slow Jam: Monica – "With You" With skin made of cocoa powder and a personality just as sweet, Janetha Barnett, 20, is sure to break a couple of hearts. It won't be intentional though. This island girl is far from cutthroat. Janetha is the epitome of a nurturer. "I need to see you, feel you, touch you," says the curvaceous member of the National Council of Negro Women member with Bahamian roots. "I need affection." It's no wonder that she strives to one day be a nurse. Her guilty pleasures include "Tom and Jerry" cartoons and HGTV. She dreams of visiting the South of France to spend a night in a house decorated by her favorite interior designer, Candice Olson. If you want to accompany her you have to be articulate and witty. For Janetha, those qualities far supersede a man's appearance.
Ariana Williams: The Boss Zodiac: Scorpio Classification: Freshman Major: Business Administration Hometown: Prince George's County, Md. "He definitely has to be very trustworthy. Just keep it 100." Favorite Slow Jam: Wiz Khalifa – "Mesmerized" If a lady with her head screwed on straight intimidates you, then Ariana Williams, 18, may be what your nightmares are made of. That's fine with her because this pint-sized ball of ambition has no time for men who play games. "I know what I want," the freshman senator says. "If you want to sway me, then you've got the wrong girl." The mocha colored member of FAMU's Green Coalition is a petite gogetter with a smile bright enough to replace the sun. Don't let her age fool you, she's wise beyond her years. "I'm not gonna be your little puppet," Ariana says. Although, she's no nonsense, the shoe-fanatic has a soft and playful side. She reserves it for those that deserve it. Up for a challenge? Here are a few tips: Respect her, be honest and above all, carry yourself with dignity. 16 SPRING 2011 JOURNEYMAGONLINE.COM
Sade Hooks: The Silent Killa Zodiac: Scorpio Classification: Senior Major: Architecture Hometown: Tampa, Fla. "I love someone that can carry a conversation, especially if I learn something new." Favorite Slow Jam: Drake – "Shut it Down" Much like the singer, Sadé Hooks, 24, has an aura that is utterly ambrosial. It's almost impossible to believe that she's been single for four years. The caramel complected member of Alpha Rho Chi National Fraternity, Inc. is a former gymnast and FAMU cheerleader with a shapely physique to prove it. The ebony curls that border her face and adorn her tendrils, are the perfect frame for the dainty masterpiece that is her face. Sadé's light colored eyes may have you searching for the right words to say. That's OK, she's just as coy. A man can keep her interested by lending a listening ear. Have no fear, she's far from needy and believes in space. "They need to have their own life," Sadé says. "They can't live through me."
Monique Mussio: The Diva Zodiac: Libra Classification: Junior Major: Business Administration Hometown: Tampa, Fla. "I'm looking for that man of substance." Favorite Slow Jam: Outkast – "Prototype" "I need a man who can stimulate my mind," says Monique Mussio, 20. The army brat with the sass and confidence of a woman twice her age isn't solely concerned with what a guy can do to please her physically. While many may not be able to ignore her gorgeous stature, she's more concerned with those who can appreciate her intellect. "Nothing is more invigorating than having a good conversation," says the Wheatley Hall resident assistant. As a member of SISTUHS, Inc. and the Junior Cabinet, Monique has a full plate. However, she admits that she wouldn't hesitate to fork some things aside for a chivalrous man. The diva with the no-nonsense attitude is pretty simple. A man in Sperry loafers, a white tee and jeans suit her just fine.
ToneIsha Pitt: The Model Zodiac: Aquarius Classification: Freshman Major: Biology Hometown: Orlando, Fla. "I haven't met my Prince Charming...the one that will sweep me off my feet." Favorite Slow Jam: Al Green – "Let's Stay Together" The new kid on the block is often the most envied. They're always the center of attention. ToneIsha "Tookie" Pitt, 18, a first-semester freshman, is no exception. The only difference between this sky-scraping beauty and other run-of-the-mill newbies is that the initial intrigue won't wear off after a couple months. Her presence commands attention 365 days a year. Not only is she signed to BMG Models (Nationally), but behind the long lashes that silhouette her magnetic gaze is a jokester who loves to laugh. Don't get it twisted though, the girl with legs for days and the swag to match is far from superficial. Tookie aspires to be an anesthesiologist. As irony would have it, she has a strong distaste for men who put her to sleep, "I want someone that I can vibe with," Tookie says. "I like someone who's sexy and smart—not a thug." Men who sag need not apply. DONELL JONES - KNOCKS ME OFF MY FEET • 17
Gregory Flowers: The Southern Gentleman Zodiac: Scorpio Classification: Junior Major: Computer Electrical Engineering Hometown: Perry, Fla. "If you don't cook, we can't talk. I'm from the South, I apologize." Favorite Slow Jam: R. Kelly - "Sex Planet" "I'm too nice," says Gregory Flowers. "Sometimes that comes back to haunt me." While the 21-year-old jazz aficionado may be on to something, goblins and ghouls probably won't be the ones trying to besiege him in the middle of the night. Awe-struck ladies would likely beat them to it. Unfortunately for some, the momma's boy with dreams of owning his own engineering firm has standards. Intelligence, impeccable hygiene and natural beauty are a must when vying for his attention. Don't be discouraged, though, ladies. As Gregory says, "You can't win if you don't try."
Cameron Anderson: The Charmer Zodiac: Gemini Classification: Sophomore Major: Theater Hometown: Miami, Fla. "I need that fire—I need that spark." Favorite Slow Jam: R. Kelly - "The Greatest Sex" Cameron Anderson, 19, has dreams of becoming an actor. The member of Boyz of Poison Dance Troupe and FACES Modeling Troupe, Inc. is polishing off his entertainment skills whenever he performs. On a stage as large as FAMU's campus, he's destined to gain a slew of female fans. He knows that his charisma attracts a lot of attention from the opposite sex, but he refuses to settle for anything less than what he wants. Among the things that make him drool are dark-skinned divas and positivity. The woman vying for his heart would have to be able to match him socially and scholastically. "I need someone to keep me on my toes," Cam says. "I like to be excited all the time." Samuel Floyd: The Cool Kid Zodiac: Virgo Classification: Junior Major: Professional MBA Hometown: Stone Mountain, Ga. "I need the one that's independent—the one that doesn't need me. I want to chase her." Favorite Slow Jam: The Dream - "Falsetto" Brace yourself, ladies. One gaze into Samuel Floyd's hazel eyes may leave you praying for something soft enough to break your fall. Don't worry. If your knees do happen to buckle, he'll help you to your feet. Be sure to laugh the mishap off after rearranging your 'fit. The recently inducted Alpha Phi Alpha neophyte believes that optimistic women exude sex appeal. Mix in a little ambition and a pinch of spontaneity, and you'll probably have him hooked. "I need someone with a bright future who's going places like me," Sam says. As a driven member of Alpha Kappa Psi, Sam also finds the time to participate in community service while maintaining a 3.6 GPA. He has a thirst for knowledge and he's interested in a woman who can quench it. 18 SPRING 2011 JOURNEYMAGONLINE.COM
Chauncey McKinney: The Skater Zodiac: Capricorn Classification: Junior Major: Graphic Design Hometown: Miami, Fla. "She has to like me for me." Favorite Slow Jam: Al Green - "Sexual Healing" "Skateboarding gives me a rush," says Chauncey McKinney, 21. "There's no other feeling like it." He hopes to one day find a woman who makes him feel the same way. The avid ping-pong player and member of the Anime Club believes that it's easier to juggle one thing at a time. That includes females. If he's in a relationship, he prefers to have adequate time to devote to his significant other. "I have a large affinity for love," Chauncey says. "I hurt when other people hurt." Think you might be interested in snagging this daredevil's attention? Laugh at his jokes, and be honest and open-minded. He may be able to teach you a trick or two.
Anthony Dowling: The Church Boy Zodiac: Leo Classification: Senior Major: Political Science Hometown: Roswell, N.M. "I like a woman with traditional values." Favorite Slow Jam: John Legend - "Stay With You" If you're a sucker for pearly whites, Anthony Dowling, 23, may be your guy. His smile complements coffee-colored skin blanketed over a frame only the military could craft. With a body like his, it's no surprise that the even-tempered Army ROTC member is a FACES model. Although he is involved on the Hill, he is most proud of his offcampus commitments. He's an associate minister at the Liberty CenterFaith Apostolic Christian Tabernacle, which he attends faithfully two to three times per week. "I like a church girl with good work ethic," Anthony says. Due to a busy schedule, the self-proclaimed handyman hasn't found the right one. Lord willing, it won't take too long.
Jason Shockness: The Shy Guy Zodiac: Scorpio Classification: Freshman Major: Architecture Hometown: Uniondale, N.Y. "My friends and family have to be able to accept you just as much as I do." Favorite Slow Jam: Genuwine - "Differences" Like his last name implies, Jason Shockness, 18, commands attention when he enters a room. A woman would have to be blind to miss the statuesque tri-athlete's 6-foot-2-inch frame and chocolate eyes. Yes ladies, he played football, baseball and basketball in high school. The New Yorker's physique may be intimidating. However, his personality is a little more low-key. To some, he may even seem mysterious at first. "Sometimes I'm shy," says the gym-goer and model, "and sometimes I'm outgoing." It takes a girl with a sense of humor to bring him out of his shell. If he does emerge, the lucky lady will meet the funny charmer within. A woman who is loud and has bad table manners will make him clam up again.

The 50 Altered States Of American Housing by Danielle DiMartino Booth
Oh the horror! Movies that is. Its summertime and once again they're out there, all those shriek-worthy trailers just waiting to pounce. They'll grab you by the psyche and parade just for you and your mind's viewing pleasure an all-inclusive review of your horror genre past. And if you happen to have been born squeamish and came of age in the '80s, you know it only took sitting through a handful of scream inducers before you gave up the fight and relinquished the field. A little Halloween here, a dash of Friday the 13th there with some Freddy K thrown in for good measure and yours truly duly checked out for life.
Sadly, swearing off the blood and gore didn't do the trick. It was there, just waiting, a whole new dimension of mental anguish. Altered States was its name, the psychological was its game and late night channel surfing its domain. While it's true the film was a cinematographic groundbreaker, it's also true that scenes such as those featuring hideously hallucinogenic ever-narrowing hallways were enough to make one wish British filmmaker Ken Russell hadn't been so desperate for work in the late 1970s. Russell was the 27th director Warner Brothers approached when the 26th, Arthur Penn, abandoned the project after a failed six-month stab at success.
As the New York Times review said at the time, "Russell, using special effects…combines electronic music, video imagery and all manner of visionary artifacts in a fast, ear-splitting, spectacular array." All those special effects might be fascinating for some, but, if one "ahem" should need a certain amount of uncluttered mental space to maintain one's wellbeing, combining the above with hellishly narrow hallways certainly lingers to unnerve an unsuspecting subconscious.
Lucky for us, we live in an airy, not scary, new world of wide open floorplans. We live in the 21st Century of big houses as far as the eye can see. Consider if you will that in the late 1970s, when Russell first set foot on the Altered States movie set, the median home in America was just over 1,500 square feet. Stretch your leg room and fast forward to today – the median home size has grown to 2,500 square feet and the living space of the average occupant has doubled.
If anything, this impetus to expand has accelerated since 2010. After a brief reprieve in the immediate aftermath of the onset of the housing crisis, the pace of growth in home sizes has actually picked up. In the event this makes absolutely no sense vis-a-vis what you've been reading in the papers about millennials' financial wherewithal, rest assured, there is a perfectly rational explanation.
It all comes down to economics, though not of the kind associated with the dismal science variety. Economics in this case refers to the economics of the deal, as in making the math work so there is a profit in the end. This has proven to be no easy feat against backdrop of stagnate median incomes and near-zero interest rates, which are but two of the factors at work against housing in recent years.
The Wall Street Journal reported that fees on everything from the cost to service roads, sewers and parks to environmental quality standards and the required number of bricks on a home's exterior have risen appreciably in recent years. Add it all up and the cost to comply with regulations has leaped by 29.8 percent over the past five years. That's helped catapult the growth of the median price of a new home to roughly a third over the growth of existing home prices.
In the adding-insult-to-injury department, at least from the perspective of a potential first time home buyer, builders have done the math and determined that the real money to be made is in larger, more luxurious homes. Are builders wrong-headed in their actions? The short answer is no if they intend to stay in business.
For validation of their logic, look no further than the latest new home sales figures, which beat the forecast by a mile: consensus was calling for sales to come in at annualized rate of 562,000; instead they clocked in at a 592,000 rate, the highest in over eight years though still shy of the 25-year average of 715,000. But here's the catch – the lift came from homes priced north of $400,000. Homes priced below that point fell over the past month.
As of June, the median new home price was north of $300,000, up 6.1 percent over last year. Is it any wonder plans to buy a home are hovering near their lowest level in a year?
"I think we can let go of the idea that if builders build more homes, then somehow homes overall will be more affordable," wrote housing guru Logan Mohtashami in his latest missive. "We have a permanent housing inflation problem that started four decades ago and will not be easily cured by dithering with the inventory of larger homes."
At least, and this is a stretch, housing inflation is not quite as hot in the resale market where price appreciation has slowed to 5.2 percent over last year, the slowest pace in eight months. Perhaps this slight cooling can be explained by the relative resurgence in first-time homebuyers. At 33 percent, the June data revealed that first time homebuyers had the healthiest showing since mid-2012.
The question is where does the market go from here? Bank of America's Michelle Meyer and her crack team of housing analysts recently endeavored to answer that very question.
"Looking ahead, a strong labor market and rising incomes should support the renter-to-homebuyer transition," the report started off optimistically. Then the however arrived in the form of, "though tight credit conditions remain a challenge."
Wait a minute. Haven't we been reading for months about the renaissance in mortgage lending tied to a relaxation of standards? It is certainly the case that larger credit unions have been underwriting mortgages at a fair clip. And there's plenty of proposed legislation out there to ease the regulatory burden.
For now, at least according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's Credit Availability Index (MCIA), it's become increasingly difficult to qualify for a mortgage despite mortgage rates being just above their lows for this cycle. As of June, the MCIA was at its lowest level since February 2015; it's been sliding for eight months now. At the same time, the difference between jumbo (for homes priced above $417,000) and conventional mortgage rates is the widest since March 2011.
"This shows that despite falling interest rates, there is a heightened sense of risk aversion in the market," concluded BofA's team.
Where does that leave potential homebuyers?
One answer to this question is, "at home," as in the home they grew up in. A recent analysis by the Pew Research Center found that for the first time in 130 years, Americans between the ages of 18-34 are more likely to be living with their parents compared to any other living arrangement. Some 32.1 percent are bunked up with their parents while 31.6 percent live with a spouse or significant other; only 14 percent live alone.
The sunny side of the story first. The stigma of living at

Cindy McCain to replace Schwarzenegger in Terminator 4
HOLLYWOOD, CA - Warner Bros. Pictures announced this week Cindy McCain, wife of Presidential Candidate John McCain, has been selected to replace Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator character in the upcoming fourth movie in the Terminator series. Studio execs reportedly chose Mrs. McCain for the role based on her public persona that has occasionally been described in the media as somewhat aloof and robotic.
Christian Bale, who plays John Connor in the film, commented, "Working with Cindy McCain has been an intense experience. Cindy can be truly terrifying." Bale went on to say he often had difficulty differentiating Mrs. McCain from her character during filming. "Sometimes she has this icy stare. She really is a natural fit for this role."
Director McG said the normal preparation required to play such a ruthless character did not apply to Mrs. McCain. McG commented, "I expected she would need to spend hours perfecting the demeanor of a sinister killing machine but to my delight the normal preparation regimen was not necessary for Cindy. She walked on the set and was completely prepared."
Regarding his wife's Hollywood debut, Presidential Candidate John McCain was recently heard to say off camera, "Playing a cold and soulless machine shouldn't be a big stretch for my sweetie." A McCain campaign spokesperson later explained the comment was a private spousal comment made jokingly and not intended for the public.
Warner Bros. Pictures says in the interest of equal coverage, Michelle Obama is currently under consideration for several equally sinister character roles in the action film genre including The Bride in Bride of Chucky 2, Darth Vader in Star Wars: Episode VII, Biff Tannen in Back to The Future IV, The Alien Mother in Alien V.

Recently MedCallAssist was put to the test by two of its well-renowned members, Wayne and Scarlett Hall. Together, they run Bush Alaska Expeditions located in Eagle, Alaska. Mr. and Mrs. Hall are known for their wilderness tours and expeditions, taking those who are willing and brave enough, on the adventure of their lives. Not only do adventure seekers learn to mush their own dog sled, but the Halls also teach valuable wilderness survival; and there is no one better to teach such knowledge than the Halls. Those willing to enter Alaska's most treacherous terrain face a multitude of dangerous elements. From extreme weather conditions with temperatures dipping well below zero and many of Alaska's natural predators, to being completely remote and far from any help from outside world. As beautiful as Alaska is, with its lure of natural essence and charm; it is also a place not for the faint of heart. As Mr. Hall can attest to below.
We asked Mr. and Mrs. Hall to share their story of becoming members, and how they felt MedCallAssist was able to come to their rescue, even in the heart of the Alaskan bush...
Q: Mr. and Mrs. Hall, could you please tell us a little about yourselves?
A: We live in a very remote location. No roads to our cabin, with access by boat in the summer and only by a dog team or snow machine in the winter. We also operate a dog sledding tour/expedition business, that travels in some of the remotest areas of the continent.
Q: How did you happen upon MedCallAssist and what were your initial thoughts about our service?
A: I can't remember who, but it was mentioned to us by someone in Eagle. Our initial thoughts were this would be "perfect" for the business we operate, if after checking it out and MedCallAssist was legitimate. The type of business we operate has potential for serious accident and/or injury in a true wilderness environment. Also where we live, there are no roads or access to medical care.
Q: Have you ever been in a situation recently, where you have called upon MedCallAssist? If so, could you please share with us that situation in detail.
A: I have only used MedCallAssist under, in what I consider, an extreme situation. Only twice, over the many years we have been a member with you, both times were extreme. As I write this now, I am under your doctor's, Dr. Stirling's care. Last month I was guiding a dog sled expedition from the Beaufort Sea to Eagle, Alaska. Seven hundred miles, at one of the remotest areas of that expedition, we got into a situation that was life threatening and I froze both feet. Forty-eight hours in frozen boots, with no way to thaw them out. No firewood and trapped on a ledge surrounded with deep overflow water. I don't even think a helicopter could have negotiated the canyon we were trapped in, and probably no rescue would have happened.
Deep into Canada, I was able to contact Dr. Stirling on the SAT phone for his advice. Dr. Stirling 100% understands "bush situations", and his medical orders are practical to the situation. Also years ago, Dr. Stirling composed four personalized medical kits, specifically designed for our operation and our needs. The required medications I needed, were in this kit. Dr. Stirling told me what to do, how to handle the feet, what antibiotics to take, and what pain medications to take. I had to call four times throughout the course of the expedition, and without his help, most likely I would have had to have been medevaced out when we got to the closest place one could have been acquired. With your doctor's medical knowledge of the situation, I was able to complete the expedition. I was willing to lose a toe, but not a whole foot.
Also, when this expedition was about to depart, I had a possible kidney stone problem. Dr. Stirling sent me the necessary medications, just in case the kidney stone did in fact become a problem and things went bad while on the trail. That didn't happen, but if it had, Dr. Stirling had me prepared for the worst. Two years ago I had a kidney stone at our home cabin. No medical access at our remote location, but he got me through that via SAT phone. If it got serious enough, he also had a medevac waiting in the background. A kidney stone is SEVERE pain, maybe the most important aspect of this to me was his accurate diagnosis of the problem over the SAT phone. I thought I was dying. Knowing I just had to deal with the pain and not impending death, was kind of a relief. He also told me the exact stages of recovery and he was right on.
Q: How well equipped do you feel MedCallAssist and its staff were able to handle your recent medical needs, and do you feel confident in the care you received?
A: 100% Perfect. One thing that impressed me much was in the above incident, when I froze my feet, I was using a SAT phone that could lose connection at any moment. When the MedCallAssist operator answered, I told her this is an emergency and that I could lose communications at any moment and to connect me with the doctor now/asap. She did not hesitate and I was talking with the doctor in about sixty seconds!!
Q: Would you recommend MedCallAssist to your family, friends, co-workers, and/or others in general?
A: YES! To anyone...anywhere. Especially remote.
Q: Overall, what are your current thoughts and feeling about MedCallAssist and its staff?
A: I don't know how you could improve the way you operate. It's not often you can connect with a REAL bush doctor with bush mentality for the situation.
Q: Mr. and Mrs. Hall, in closing, what would you have to say to others considering a membership with MedCallAssist?
A: A SAT phone, to be able to connect with MedCallAssist is the safest way to deal with an emergency outside the parameters of city life. I would highly recommend to anyone. It also impresses NPS, BLM, and any other controlling agency when you travel on these lands.
As you can see, MedCallAssist can be a valuable asset in anyone's life. Whether you're surrounded by all of life's conveniences in the city or exploring some of the world's most treacherous and remote terrain like the Halls do, we have you covered. We are happy to report Mr. Hall is back home and recovering well from his latest trek. We would like to thank the Halls, for their valued patronage throughout the years and their time in sharing their story.
For more information about our service and membership, please visit our website. You can learn more about Wayne and Scarlett Hall, and their Bush Alaska Expeditions via their site at www.bushalaskaexpeditions.com

NEWS Cosmetics
Cheerio In-Cosmetics! It was the bees knees, but in case you missed something, heres a summary...Sent: 12/04/2017
Again this year, the pollution thematic is more than ever in the front of the scene. After the spike we had a few months ago, consumers realized the real impact of external aggressions on our skin. Dark spots, premature aging, dull complexion and acne are just a few examples...
To counter this damage, Solabia offers 3 different and complementary assets to answer all the problems:
Already having demonstrated the role of POLLUSTOP® as an anti-pollution shield acting on UV and chemical stress and limiting the impact of fine particles on skin cells and the penetration of heavy metals into the skin in city life situations, Solabia has broadened its field of investigation with additional tests:
- On the one hand on the skin, in order to assess on a panel of Chinese consumers the perception of the presence of a shield,
- and on the other hand through studying the effect of its high molecular weight matrix polymer on protecting hair from the incrustation of fine particles. These fine particles cause irritation to the scalp and also dry out and weaken delipidated hair due to numerous oxidation reactions. For this, two experimental ex vivo models (tests on hair fibers) were chosen: the first, preventive, by applying the shielding active ingredient in a mist compared to the placebo; the second, curative, by formulating the active ingredient in a shampoo compared to the placebo.
Confronting pollution by offering the skin an anti-pollution protective shield does not exclude the use of an additional biological process, that of AhR, aryl-hydrocarbon receptors of which polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. At the heart of the unique and natural eco-system of Ouessant, an island in the Iroise Sea, the Solabia Group, via its acquisition of the company Algues & Mer in November 2016, proposes the active ingredient INVINCITY®, AhR inhibitor with the overall purpose of fighting polluaging®. The anti-Polluaging® action of INVINCITY® is characterized via the reduction of the formation of skin redness and of the synthesis of melanins on dark spots, whose formation mechanism related to pollution is now perfectly understood. Its proven ex vivo and in vitro action on improving the dermo-epidermal structure gives skin better cellular support, strengthens its barrier function and improves firmness. INVINCITY® is a concentrated active ingredient of sulphated fucoidans of high molecular weight with polysaccharide design rich in fucose, xylose and glucuronic acid, obtained from organic-certified brown alga, Ascophyllum nodosum, also called The Sea Rockweed.
DETOXI-LOOK®, as its name suggests, is the active solution developed by the Solabia Group researchers to offer skin a detox treatment to efficiently and quickly cleanse it of accumulated pollutants which suffocate it, thus resulting in radiant-looking skin, "happy skin for a happy look"! Detoxify, illuminate and moisturize are the three main objectives of DETOXI-LOOK® to fight against pollution and its irremediable consequences on radiance.
DETOXI-LOOK® is a plant complex obtained by cold co-pressing of two "light" flowers, radiating beauty, the EVERLASTING (Helichrysum italicum) or "the Gold Sun" and the DAISY (Bellis perennis), literally meaning "beautiful forever", stabilized by vegetable glycerin and composed of polyphenols and saponins. DETOXI-LOOK® re-boosts the skin's detoxification system by stimulating the synthesis of phase 1 enzymes (Cytochrome P450) and Phase 2 enzymes (UDP-Glucuronyltransferase). It also contributes to brightening the complexion thanks to its lightening action and its ability to regulate the skin micro-circulation, while moisturizing the skin and refreshing the complexion, because well-hydrated skin is smoother and reflects light better. These benefits were observed by a panel of 50 volunteers, highly exposed to pollutants (intensive smokers) with significant perception of a brighter, fresher and more even complexion, skin less sensitive to sensations of discomfort and with smoother features.

Suresh Raina-led Gujarat Lions (GL) succumbed to yet another defeat, this time against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in Match 26 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 at Rajkot. Raina was not happy with the performance of his bowlers and said they will have to step up and deliver. KXIP ended their four-match losing streak after an all-round performance ensured an easy win by 26 runs at the end. Hashim Amla was adjudged the Man of the Match for his brilliant knock of 40-ball 65. Raina also went on to say that the bowlers are lacking confidence and a couple of injury concerns have not made life easy for GL. FULL CRICKET SCORECARD: Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) vs Gujarat Lions (GL), IPL 10, Match 26
Talking about GL's bowlers' performance, Raina said, "You can't chase 190 every time. Bowlers have to do something. We haven't won any 4 p.m. games. It's a learning curve for us. Spinners have to step up," Raina said after the match. "Nathu got cramps, so I had to bowl Smith in the second last over. The bowlers are lacking confidence. They are not executing on match day. They do well in the nets, but not on match day, he added. READ: IPL 2017: All-round Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) crush Gujarat Lions (GL) by 26 runs in IPL 10, Match 26
Raina believed that KXIP's target of 189 was still achievable. "We thought we could still chase it down, but while we were batting, the wicket got slower and Sandeep [Sharma] and Mohit [Sharma] bowled good slower balls and made it hard for us to hit," the skipper said. Raina acknowledges that his side need to string some wins together. "At this stage, I can't say anything. We have to go there. Couple of injury issues, but we have to win more games, we can't just talk in training. We'll go to Bengaluru, regroup and hopefully we can win," he added.

Larrikins is a cancelled[1] film. The film was to be written by Harry Cripps and produced by Christina Steinberg.[2] It was set for a February 16, 2018 release, before Minchin announced the film's cancellation on March 5, 2017.[3]
Had it been made, it would have been the first DreamWorks Animation film to be distributed by Universal Pictures, whose parent company NBCUniversal acquired DreamWorks Animation in 2016. This was the second 2018 DreamWorks Animation film to be cancelled, the other being The Croods 2. With the cancellation of Larrikins and The Croods 2, DreamWorks Animation had no film(s) coming out in 2018, making the first year DreamWorks had skipped since 1999.
When an uptight bilby gets kicked out of his sheltered life of his family burrow, he ventures out and finds himself launched on a musical adventure across the mystical Australian outback. On the way, he must battle an evil army of monsters known as the Syvalionilas, or "Syvas", for short and win the heart of his one true love.

- It would have also been Universal Pictures' second animated theatrical film released in February, after Curious George in 2006.

Two Injured as Pickup Truck Hits Home in Portsmouth
I was alarmed to read an accident report this morning about how a pickup truck hit a home in Portsmouth, causing injuries.
WAVY.com reported on how paramedics took two people for treatment at a hospital early Tuesday morning after the pickup crashed into the home just after midnight at the intersection of George Washington Highway and Mulberry Street.
A police source said one of the two people hurt in the wreck suffered permanent injuries, WAVY reported. The two people who were injured were occupants of the truck. They had to be rescued from the vehicle by emergency crews.
The TV report stated nobody was injured in the home. The inside of the building sustained heavy damage, with cracks in the wall, damaged windows, and a smashed television. The impact shook the house.
Every year cars or trucks hit buildings in Hampton Roads. These kinds of incidents are not as common as crashes involving two or more vehicles, but they happen regularly.
In 2014, a car crashed into a post office on Battlefield Boulevard in Chesapeake, injuring a customer.
In some cases, these crashes are linked to drunk driving and can prove to be fatal.
In 2013, an elderly couple was hit by a car in their home in Kiln Creek in Newport News
The elderly man died in the wreck. A 39-year-old woman pleaded guilty to two felonies — aggravated involuntary manslaughter and DUI maiming — in the death of Charles Stitt in May 2013. The 75-year-old and his 73-year-old old wife were in the kitchen of their Timberneck Lane home when the car crashed into their house, police said.
If you are injured in your home or another premises like a post office or store by a vehicle, you have grounds to make a claim against the driver's insurance company for any injuries you sustain.
If you are a passenger in a car that is driven into a building and you suffer injuries, you may have grounds to file a claim against the driver's insurance policy.
These claims can be complex. If you deal directly with an insurance company you may not get the compensation you need and deserve for your injuries. Our experienced Portsmouth, VA personal injury lawyers can meet you at our location in Olde Town Portsmouth or at our Norfolk main office to discuss your claim. We can also meet you at your home or at the hospital. Consultations are free and confidential. Call us at (757) 455-0077.

Antarctica's Dry Valleys are the most arid places on Earth, but underneath their icy soils lies a vast and ancient network of salty, liquid water filled with life, a new study finds.
The Dry Valleys are almost entirely ice-free, except for a few isolated glaciers. The only surface water is a handful of small lakes. Inside the canyons, the climate is extremely dry, cold and windy; researchers have stumbled upon mummified seals in these gorges that are thousands of years old.
Yet there is life in this extreme landscape. For instance, bacteria living under Taylor Glacier stain its snout a deep blood red. The rust-colored brine, called Blood Falls, pours into Lake Bonney in the southernmost of the three largest Dry Valleys. The dramatic colors offer shocking relief to senses overwhelmed by the glaring white ice and dull brown rocks. [The 10 Driest Places on Earth]
Now, for the first time, scientists have traced the water underneath Taylor Glacier to learn more about the mysterious Blood Falls. In the process, the researchers discovered that briny water underlies much of Taylor Valley. The subsurface network connects the valley's scattered lakes, revealing that they're not as isolated as scientists once thought. The findings were published April 28 in the journal Nature Communications.

John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace UK, said the response from the public to its campaign had been extraordinary in terms of scale and -creativity. "It did touch a bit of a raw nerve about the partnership between the two companies that people thought was completely inappropriate – for a toy company like Lego to partner with an oil corporation – which is a sign of changes that are happening [in public attitudes towards fossil fuel companies]," he said.
He added that he hoped the move by Lego would prompt other organisations that work with Shell, such as London's Science Museum, where Shell sponsors a climate change exhibition, to think twice about their partnerships.
"Clearly Shell is trying to piggy back on the credibility of other brands. It's a good PR strategy if you can get away with it. But as we've shown, if you can't get away with it, that social licence is taken away. It does damage them a lot," he told the Guardian.
Great video. I had completely forgotten about Shell LEGO product branding. Of course this also makes me wonder what LEGO bricks are made from, if not petroleum by-products?

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Xbox Lobby' started by carolinaconvicts, Sep 8, 2013.
Interesting details on how Microsoft is changing how users get help in-game.
i dont get it, is it a digital manual that would normally come in the case, is it a sort of tutorial or guide?
sounds like that paperclip help guy from old windows OS if im not mistaken.
I imagine it will be something rather similar to the guide function currently available in Steam. You can pop into the menu and vie YouTube tutorials and written walk through, all within the game and steam's interface.
Its useful if you get stuck since all the information is right there and you don't need a second screen. Its very useful for collectables and tricky games.
"XW: What is Game Help and how are developers utilizing it for Xbox One games?
RP: If you're having trouble in a game, you can tap a Help button in SmartGlass that will give you contextually aware information for whatever you're playing. We're working closely with developers today to add game help to individual Xbox One titles. This is done by game creators making a help manual that we then host in SmartGlass. During gameplay, SmartGlass follows your progress and knows exactly where you're at and where you're having trouble, so that when you hit the Help button you'll be given the tips you need. It's a really cool additive experience to your gameplay and a way for developers to use additional screens to enhance the experience of playing games on Xbox One."
Can be accessed on your TV screen, or Smart Glass..
What I find really cool is, you can access it using voice commands, and not only for games, but for anything you may need help with in the Xbox One.
"In front of your console, you can say, 'Xbox: Help!' and then it will appear on the console. Or in SmartGlass, you can click on the Help icon and then it will just tune into exactly what you're doing and present the right help content for you."
This applies across the rest of the console as well, including Internet Explorer and even the system's settings. You can say, 'Hey, I'm in Internet Explorer, where are my settings?' Okay, well, here's where you are. Or how do I add a contact? Or how do I add a friend? Or how do I do Game DVR clips? We think this is gonna apply not only to games and game help, but also to applications on the system as well as the system itself," Pessner said.
Sounds pretty cool to me.
Oh what they aren't telling you is us ambassadors also have to help. We get questions when people log on to live help. You will be doing your tech support bit and in comes a person to the queue with something like "How do I reach the big bunny in Dead Rising 2?" or "I've been ban in Black Ops 2, can you unban me?". Stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with Xbox help, but they will sure as heck drop in an ask for it.
This is another example of why I think the X1 is the more next gen console. It doesn't just come down to FLOPs and shaders for me, it's about the overall console experience, snap mode, fast switching, smart glass, voice commands, universal remote functionality, HDMI pass through, video chat, auto sign in and now in-game e-manuals. It all adds up to a much more sophisticated experience.
Analogy: About 4 years ago I was making a decision about which car I wanted to buy. The two top competitors were the 2010 VW GTI and the 2010 Subaru Impreza WRX STI. Both were comparably priced given my options. The STI had a significant advantage in speed, but lacked any refinement. The GTI was underachiever in the hot hatch category, but offered a first class experience for it's price.
I chose the GTI. Some people would choose the STI. Even though the STI could have given me the occasional, "Whoa baby" moment, I found that a more intuitive interface, and refined amenities, would offer me more satisfaction in the long run - I love my GTI; and I typically have very little trouble making my way around the standard automotive fare on the road today.
Best of both worlds.
The PS4 is an "Entry Level" games console that many, seduced by the "False Economy" of an apparant cheaper price tag, will purchase this year. I have no doubt that 75% of those who purchase a PS4 will be UPGRADING to the XB1 within a year.
I think this sounds awesome. Xbox One's level of voice recognition brings a whole new chunk of Xbox, and a lot of people (including myself) are going to need help navigating with their voice.
So... It Looks like using a controller to navigate through a console is no longer necessary. Cool.
So the 360 was an entry level console too because it was cheaper than the PS3?
One of the absolute stupidest things I've read on the Internet in quite some time.
Oh wow, while I was typing about how stupid your previous post was, you went and made an even dumber one! That's impressive.
Wow, I didn't have a hard time noticing which console your biased towards.
More power or not, Xbox One's games look amazing, and there has yet to be any proof that the Playstation 4 runs multi-platform games better than the Xbox One.
In fact, we've seen in some cases that multi-platform games didn't run very well on the Playstation 4. Assassin's Creed 4 and Battlefield 4 for example.
In line with the theme of the thread, it's not simply about price, it's about percieved value. In terms of what the XB1 has to offer in "Next Gen" inovative features, the XB1 is far ahead of the competition, in fact, there is no competition. This will become apparant as soon as both consoles hit the market. Therefore, even though more expensive on paper, money wise, XB1 offers far more real value in every respect of the word.
I would try to explain to you what real "quality" is but clearly I'd be explaining it to an IDIOT.
Xbox where the white women at?
Game creators THEMSELVES have come out to say the SYSTEMS ARE INDENTICAL. Sony Fangirls are clinging on to what ONE DEV said on twitter. Bullshit. A 40%-50% difference doesn't EXIST in any aspect of these two consoles and they never will. Sony fanboys can brag about that one tree that loads faster on their console as much as they want.
You know your wrong when a highly esteemed PC dev comes out to say the systems are indentical then MOCKS then Kinect, and people say "oh, he's paid by Micro$haft". Stop feeding off that hive minded hate.
Anyway, given the fact most games these days offer in game tutorials, I don't see myself using this feature too often, however, it sounds like an impressive touch.

Akasha is a Sanskrit word where "Aka" means space, storage place, or repository, and "Sa" means sky, hidden, or secret. A simple translation of "Akasha" is "an unseen space or storage place." They are also referred to as 'Book of Life' and 'Book of Remembrance'.

She was discharged six hours later, with no further symptoms. It was not clear how much, if any, of the liquid the girl had ingested before her mother intervened. But the case was the latest to underline "the risk posed by nicotine liquid to children", said the experts, who called for "public education and legislation to improve the safety profile of e-liquid containers." Nicotine refills are available in strengths ranging from six milligrammes per litre, a concentration of 0.6 percent, to 36 mg/l, or 3.6 percent. In April, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a surge in calls to poison centres after people accidentally swallowed or inhaled nicotine from a refill cartridge, or spilled it on their skin or in their eyes. There was just one call in September 2010, and 214 in February 2014 -- half of them involving children under the age of five. The CDC said there was no legal requirement for the liquids to be packaged in child-proof containers, and they came in sweet and fruit flavours "that are appealing to children." Symptoms of nicotine poisoning range from burning in the mouth and throat to nausea, a racing heart, vomiting and weakness. Severe cases have included cardiac arrest and coma. The new letter, signed by paediatricians at Birmingham's Good Hope Hospital, said just "one to two drops" at the 3.6-percent concentration could make a toddler seriously sick. In an adult, they wrote, a dose as small as 40 mg could be lethal, and in children it is likely to be several times lower.

Moving In and Coming Out
By: Chris Coyne
Jon and I dated for a year before we moved in together. He had quit his job and entered business school right when I met him. I was working for a struggling media company based in the valley. My job offered lots of flexibility so we hung out most weekends. During a summer break Jon took an internship working for his family's company based in South Florida. He was gone for six weeks but he turned down a better internship in London because of me. The day he returned we were shopping for a place for all of us. Jon, my dog Toby, and I crammed into a crappy one bedroom apartment in the WeHo ghetto above Sunset. Jon referred to me as his "roommate" to his parents and brothers any time they called. They rarely visited but I began to feel like Jon's dirty little secret. I knew he was conflicted. We would talk for hours about how he was raised. I thought I understood his feelings concerning coming out of the closet. I never expected him to come out of the closet. I never expected anything because he was so amazing. He treated me so well. I felt like a better person for knowing him. I like to think of myself as a secure rational person but I gained that knowledge after we met. I did not have a positive person in my life who told me I could do anything. He built up my self-esteem to the point where I was more secure about who I was.
You see, I came out of the closet when I was 25. I was married to my high school sweetheart at 19. I knew I was gay but I also had a very religious upbringing. She was, and is, an amazing person. I was a mess after our ugly divorce. I thought I could live a normal life. In my mind I had built this false future. I thought we would have children and buy a house with the white fence and we would live happily ever after –despite the fact that I knew I was GAY! I had repressed the feelings. I had never acted on them. I thought I was sure to burn in hell for eternity if I acted on the feelings. Anyway, after the divorce my older brother was in a horrible car accident. I moved up north for a few months to help take care of him and his two kids. I lived on a boat in a small harbor and I was really depressed. I felt like had nothing to live for. One day I woke up and I called one of my very best friends who had moved very far away. I told her I was gay. It felt amazing to say those words. I spent the rest of the day calling friends and family members basically telling everyone I was gay. I never looked back, but most of my insecurities remained into most of my adult life –until I met Jon.
A few weeks after I moved in with Jon he went home for Thanksgiving. He told his little brother he was gay. The next thing I know, Jon's parents are on a plane, flying to California to meet me. I was freaking out!
I never expected Jon to come out. He is the oldest of four boys and comes from an uber-conservative Mormon family. I thought it was not possible, but he did. His parents came to our crappy apartment and his mom gave me a huge hug. His dad slapped me on the ass and welcomed me into the family! His little brother provided huge comic relief. He was eighteen at the time and he has an amazing way of breaking the ice in any akward situation.
Our relationship changed so much after that visit. I was no longer Jon's dirty little secret! I was his boyfriend and it was amazing! His family opened their hearts to me the second I met them. I did not know this was even possible. I was in a real relationship with the man of my dreams.
