Many people that come to my town love it, mostly because no crime has taken place here for years. Now, you would think that in a little rundown town in Alabama, we would have such a close community that no known crime would take place at all. You see, I'm from a town where everybody knows everybody. The farmer knows the store owner, the store owner knows the kids, etc. But lately we've been getting a lot more newcomers. People from big cities and towns where you're more likely to hate your neighbors than to actually know them. Not that there's anything wrong with people from big cities. I'm just saying.
We didn't really have a problem with them after they came out of their shell. However, the more people came, the more trouble followed. Some men were into the gang life. They would come over here to try and escape from all the trouble they had gotten into. And , of course, we welcomed them and treated them like family; a southern tradition that we plan to keep. We really didn't have an issue until one man in particular started to look suspicious.
He was a good friend of my father and helped tend to our animals in exchange for money. He would tell me stories about all the places he had gone and all the trouble he got into. He made me promise to never get into as much trouble as he did. I complied. We would spend hours a day just chatting while we did our chores. I really felt like he was part of the family. His name was Arnold. Arnold was a very smart guy, despite his looks. He has several tattoos and piercings on his body. He even showed me a spot on his arm where a bullet hit him. I tried not to stare at his tattoos, but one in particular stood out to me. It looked like a tiger attacking a goat.
I assumed it was just a prison tattoo. After all, Arnold had been to prison twice. I thought nothing of it. After all, he was such a nice guy that you'd never imagine him getting into any kind of trouble with the law. Not back then you wouldn't, anyway.
One day, I was out in town, and I saw Arnold arguing with Mr. Hensley. Mr. Hensley owned my favorite convenience store. My Dad would take me there every other week to buy groceries. He'd always get me candy after we were done shopping. And Mr. Hensley would ask me a question relating to what I was learning about in school. He was a very smart and fair old man. Everybody loved him. So, why would Arnold be arguing with him? Arnold wasn't one to pick a fight or even argue. But, now he was starting to get...weird.
He barely ever talks to me anymore, he mutters to himself, and he doesn't even complete all of his work. My Dad told me to keep my distance, because he was afraid Arnold might have been on drugs or something. It hurt me to think that Arnold was spiraling downward again. He told me about his battle with drug addiction and how he had to go into rehab. I thought he was clean. But I guess not. It was the same thing every day.
Until one day after breakfast. I realized something. Arnold hadn't shown up to work yet. He'd never been late, ever! So, I decided to wait. I waited almost all day, but he never came. Dad tried calling him, but no one answered. That wasn't the end of it, though. Late the next night I was watching the news.
A story came on about a child abduction not far from my town. They said that a man dressed in black grabbed the child and began to run off with it. The mother caught up to the man, and started attacking him. She fought and fought until she was knocked out. Now believe me, down here most of these "soccer moms" are tough as hell. It would've taken a lot of force to knock that woman out. So either this man was super strong, or got super lucky. The newscaster also said that the man ran into the woods with the child and stayed there, based on the evidence. What they said next was absolutely terrifying. They claimed that the next day the child returned home safely, with the assistance of the police which was wonderful. But then they said that the man's body was found mutilated beyond comprehension.
There was no way the child could have done that. At first, they thought a serial killer was to blame, but further investigation pointed to a mauling by an animal. Nothing seemed to make sense. If it were an animal, it would have killed the man and the child. But the child was unharmed. Saliva samples taken from the scene indicate that it was a human. However, DNA samples from the scratch marks indicate that of an animal. The most disturbing part is, both DNA samples match. Which means, this was no mere dog or bear, or even a human and animal team...this was far more sinister. A few days later, news about the child abductor came on.
They said that the man responsible was none other than Arnold Percy Hergo. My heart sunk. Why would such a nice man do something like that? I was pretty upset for the next few days. My grades started slipping, and I became more irritable. Even if he started doing drugs again, he was still my friend. I could have gotten him help. But now it's too late. I didn't want to talk to anyone about it, even if my Mom said it would make me feel better. I just wanted to slump around all day.
When summer came around and there was no school, I pretty much had nothing exciting to do anyway. Despite having quite a lot of chores to do, I managed to find solitude. Much to the dislike of my parents, I became a shut-in. They tried their best to get me outside, yet I never really complied. However, in a matter of days I gradually started getting better. I was adventuring again in the rolling pastures and forests of my Alabaman town, and I forgot all about being depressed. I could never forget Arnold, though. I still cried for him at night and prayed that he was in Heaven. Even my less than forgiving Dad prayed for him. He told me how glad he was that it wasn't me that got kidnapped. My mother agreed. All seemed to be in perfect balance after that.
Until one night, that is. You see, there's a reason no crime has happened here in decades. And I was unfortunate enough to experience it first hand.
The kids in my neighborhood are relatively good kids. They mind their parents and pray like they should. However, as they got older, they began to get into trouble much more often. Being as mature as I was, I stayed away from them so that I wouldn't get hurt.
The boys would tease me and try to get me back into their little clique. Naturally, I just ignored them and got on with my life. They stopped bothering me eventually, and started bothering the girl across the street. At first, it was just mild insults. Then, it escalated into threats. Threats became harassment. I couldn't stand to watch it happen.
I had to do something. So one day, I saw the boys harassing her from my window. I took my pocket knife, and headed out the door. My heart was racing, yet I tried to show no fear. It was late in the afternoon, and my Dad was tending to the farm animals. No witnesses were there to see anything. If I were to hurt one of them, they would have no excuse. "Hey," I shouted, "let her go!". The two boys looked at each other, then at me. They laughed heartily. The tallest boy walked up to me slowly.
"What if we don't?" he asked slyly. I pulled out my pocket knife.
"Or I'll kill you!" I threatened. He cackled insanely. I showed no facial expression whatsoever. The bigger child grabbed my shirt collar and pulled me in close to his face.
"Listen, this is none of your business, shorty! Why don't you go on home and-"
Without thinking, I stabbed him in the arm. He screamed and cried in agony. His friend grabbed the arm of the frightened girl, and ran towards the forest. I ran after him. I looked back to make sure that the second boy wasn't following me. Much to my surprise, he was running in the opposite direction of me.
"One down," I thought with a smile on my face.
The other boy was much faster than I was. I couldn't catch up even if I tried my hardest. The girl was screaming for help, much to the annoyance of the boy. Finally, we came to a halt. We were huffing from lack of breath. Sweat dripped down my forehead vigorously as I thought of something to say. The sun was setting, and I really didn't want to be in these woods in the dark. The older boy then abruptly turned the girl around, and tied her hands together with some rope that he had in his pocket. The young girl cried and pleaded for him to stop. My courage took hold of me, and I charged at the large child. He kicked me and knocked me down forcefully. He then proceeded to quickly tie up the begging girl's legs so that she couldn't run. The fall had knocked the wind out of me. Panicking, I jolted up, and flung my knife at the kid. I missed squarely and hit a tree.
"Pathetic!" he said, and chuckled proudly. He started removing the girl's clothes as she squirmed desperately and sobbed. "Shut up!" he shouted intently. I gained my footing, and lunged toward the larger kid. At this point I was just blindly swinging and thrashing at him. He grunted with frustration as he became distracted more by me than the girl. The forest was bathed in the evening darkness, as the sun was slowly creeping under the horizon. In no time neither of us could see past our own noses. He was landing violent punches and kicks, while I could hardly even brush him with my fist. I couldn't let him hurt this girl! I couldn't give in. Even if I was getting beat to a pulp, I wasn't giving up until I won. Finally, I flung my body forward with all my strength, and knocked him to the forest floor.
This was my chance! I landed several punches to his surprised face. He seemed too off guard to fight back. That's when I heard the most terrifying sound. It still haunts me to this very day. It was right when the boy had gained back his dominance. He kicked me as hard as he could in between the legs. I screamed out in pain. He then kicked me in the head which sent me flying back. My spine hit a large rock, and I shouted loudly. The tall child then turned over to the girl. She was still bound and weeping. By now the forest was completely dark and I started to worry.
The large boy removed all of her clothes, and began to rape her. Every time I tried to move, a sharp pain was shot through my body. This left me paralyzed. I couldn't see anything, and could only hear the awful screeching of the young girl. She was in immense pain, and I was more furious than ever.
At that moment, a loud noise echoed through the forest. It was the cry of some unknown creature. The boy stopped attacking nude girl, and listened fearfully. I sat up slowly. I could hear rustling in the woods. My heart pounded in my ears. Something was getting closer to us.
The frightened boy stared at the black woods until the rustling stopped. He laughed, and looked back to the girl. She started crying again as he continued defiling her. I was red with rage. I couldn't just sit back and watch this poor girl get raped! Ignoring the pain, I stood up slowly and stumbled over to them.
I lifted my leg eagerly. I was going to kick this bastard in the back of the neck, when a sudden flash of something crossed in front of my eyes. All I heard was a blood curdling scream. I saw the boy lying several feet away from his last position. The girl started hyperventilating. I knelt down to comfort her, when another animal-like cry was let out.
The next thing I know, the boy's body is flying backward into a tree. Then, I see a large figure with blades for fingers and spikes running down its back. It looked back at me. Its eyes glowed like the headlights of a car. I gaped at the creature's massive tail and animal-like ears.
Its mouth was curled back into a smile with two rows of incredibly sharp teeth. It looked like a human with monster claws, teeth, eyes, ears, and tail. The thing was slightly bent over and stood on its hind legs, its arms dangling outward and drenched with blood. This monster was attacking the boy! I almost had a panic attack, but I couldn't manage to scream.
After staring at me for a straight five minutes, it then turned back to the older boy. It dug its sharp claws into his chest. The boy was screaming, but the blood pouring from his mouth made it sound as though he were gargling water. He gurgled and choked on his blood as the creature snapped his bones and pierced his flesh. The awful squishing and squelching sound his flesh made when it was torn into made me want to vomit. I started retching and turned my head away from the hideous scene. For at least ten minutes, the creature continued pulling out organs and entrails. It didn't seem interested in eating him. However, I heard a sickening gulping noise. The creature had eaten something off of the mutilated boy's body. I was too disgusted to find out. When it finally finished rummaging through the now dead child's body, I heard it slowly make its way over to me. I froze and held the girl tightly. What did it want with me? Was it going to kill me like it did the older boy. I stared at the enormous animal with wide eyes. It looked straight into my gaze and locked my stare. I wanted to ask it what it wanted with me, but all that escaped my lips was, "W-w-w...".
It stared into my eyes with that same sharp expression. The ghastly smile that plagues my dreams. I felt something behind me, but I didn't dare break gaze with this thing. I realized that it was the monster's giant tail. It had curled around the girl and I. The thing sat down in front of us. Closing its eyes, then laying down like a tired child. I suddenly realized how worn out I was, and the monster didn't seem so much like a monster anymore. It was more like a guardian. I drifted off slowly, realizing that whatever this thing was, it wasn't going to harm us. I nodded off to sleep like I was in my mother's arms. The girl did the same.
I suddenly snapped awake. I gasped for oxygen as I arose from my bed. Was it all a dream? I said to myself quietly. I shook my head. No. No, it couldn't have been a dream. It was too real! And those pains; I can still feel them. I abruptly heard my Dad calling me from downstairs. I sighed and leaped out of bed. As I neared the kitchen, I saw the young lady from the other night sitting at our table. She was smiling and motioned for me to come over. Now I KNOW this wasn't a dream! She thanked me for saving her from the older boy. I grinned shyly.
I never was good at talking to girls. My father told me everything that happened. He said that the police concluded that the boy was killed by a dog. And that it was just a misfortune that I happened to be there. The DNA was that of an animal according to the police. Even though there were still some traces of human DNA in the bite marks, they assumed that it was just that of the dog's previous victim. I released a relieved sigh. I wasn't to be held guilty of this child's murder. One question still remained though, what was that creature?
I stayed up later than usual that night. Even though my body was at ease, my mind wasn't. I still wanted to know desperately what that thing was. I picked up my laptop and went to Google. I searched for monsters and was brought to a "Monster Identifier" site. Normally, wouldn't believe in this kind of crap. However, I had nowhere else to turn. I typed in the key words in the search box: Claws, teeth, smile, spikes, tail, guardian, bright eyes. Then an answer key popped up. I answered the questions as follows:
- Kills its victims-Yes
- Eats victims-No.
- Has talons or claws-Yes.
- Has human-like features-Yes.
- Leaves bodies-Yes.
- Kills for sport-No.
- Kills for protection purposes-Yes.
After a few more questions, my results were in. One search result appeared, "Die Liebe Krankes Tier".
"That's a long name!" I thought as I scrolled down lower. The name roughly translates to, " The Love Sick Animal". However, people just referred to it as, "Tier". I read more. It originated in the Germanic regions of Europe (being Austria, Germany, Switzerland, etc.). Its appearance has only recently been discovered. The first recorded case was in 1995 in Switzerland, after a serial murderer had kidnapped a young girl. His body was found the next day, mutilated beyond comprehension. All of his entrails were intact, except for his heart. "That must've been what that thing made the gulping noise for," I thought to myself as I read with wide eyes. Every case has involved at least two people. The victims have always turned up alive.
Some believe that Tier can disguise itself as a car, and looks as though one is driving towards you. You wouldn't realize the truth until it was too late. It builds its nest out of the hearts it collects, using saliva as an adhesive. It will swallow the heart, and then regurgitate it. The heart will be sticky enough then.
I was literally dumbfounded. I had just seen this creature only one night ago! I had witnessed it kill a boy. It saved me and that girl. Was this the same thing that killed Arnold? It had to be; there was no other explanation. A sudden feeling of admiration and hate surfaced within me. It had saved my life, yet ruined it as well. I was thinking about killing it. However, reading on the page said that trying to destroy it would prove futile.
Right as I was about to finish reading the article, I heard a tap on my window. I immediately glanced over. I almost screamed, it was Tier! It was standing there just watching me. Like a stalker.
"W-what do you want?" I asked shakily. It cocked its head to one side. It looked like a comical bird turning its head. This told me how threatening It was trying to be. Not very apparently. I stood up from the downstairs couch and walked toward the front door. It greeted me with its usual smile and glazed-over stare. I tried to think of something else to say. "Uh..." I began hesitantly, " are you...D-Die...Liebe...uh...Kran-kes...uh..." Tier cocked its head again slightly in confusion. "Are you Tier?" I finally said in a nervous tone. It closed its eyes and nodded.
It sat down on its knees in order to be eye level with me. "Can you talk?" I asked.
It shrugged, as if to say, " Not really." I nodded.
"Why are you here exactly?". Tier just stared at the ground in silence. It looked disappointed somehow. "Is it because if the crime?" I asked it sullenly. It nodded. "You really don't like crime, do you?" I questioned. It nodded again, pulling its legs to its chest in a fetal position. It started scratching at the dirt with its gigantic claws. I sat down with it. The way Tier looked at the ground when it replied to me told me something. It told me that Tier really didn't like killing people. At that moment, I felt so much guilt. I had wanted to kill this thing that was destined on protecting me. This thing had to kill people that have done wrong.
It was time to make things right. It had to defend the people who have done nothing wrong. Feeling ashamed, I eased my hand toward its clawed hand. "Thank you," I said as I stared into its eyes passionately. Tier wrapped its tail around me again, same as it had done that one night. I found myself falling onto its chest. It hugged me, careful not to stab me with its claws. I looked over to the left side of its chest. There was a hole where its heart should be. Alternatively, there lay just an hollow cavity. I started to cry for this creature. It was suffering every day. People feared and hated it, when it was the only one doing the right thing. I hated every human being at that moment. My Mom, Dad, Friends, Mr.Hensley, even myself! I cried softly into Tier's chest as it embraced me gently. Now, everyday I wonder who the real humans are. The ones that kill for sport, or the ones that kill for a justifiable reason.
- ALT Ending (recommended):
It's been 23 years. I haven't seen Tier since that night, and I'm starting to get anxious. My life has withered with the years. I've been waiting for it. I really want to see it again. I would do anything just to catch another glimpse of it. Anything at all. Just to see its ever grinning face. Obsession does crazy things to your head...and...I think I will do something. Yes. I will. The neighbors are expecting a new child soon. A little girl; er name should be Sophia. Just a little longer, then I can see it...The Love-Sick Animal...

I'm going to South East Asia for about 8 months leaving in just over a week (27th April)!
Has anyone else gone to SE Asia for this length of time (8+ months)? What did you do for anti-malarials?
I'm going to Malaysia, Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand.
I was told by the Travel Nurse at my doctor's that I could just get my anti-malarials from a pharmacy. However, went to the pharmacy today and they said that for where I'm going I will need a prescription so they couldn't sell me any.
Unfortunately I don't have time to go back to my doctor's, but you can buy anti-malarials online from Superdrug or Lloyds Pharmacy.
I need to make sure I get the right tablets though; I don't want to get malaria (obviously) but I don't my trip ruined by malaria tablets side effects either.
I have done some research and doxycycline is the cheapest option (and therefore I'm leaning towards this one), but the side effects do not sound nice. Also, are there any risks of taking anti-malarials for such a long time? Will doxycycline protect me for all of the countries I'm visiting?
I'm going to speak to another pharmacist for some more advice, but any advice on here would be great especially from those who have done the same thing or are planning the same thing.

In "Baby's first LOL," a tiny human laughs uncontrollably — for the first time — causing his father to burst out in equally adorable moments of hysteria. The laugh fest goes on for nearly three minutes.
Also making waves this week: a Korean baby with some major dance moves.
While brother dearest doesn't seem that that impressed (he has a few moves too) with the toddler's performance, the world has instantly fallen in love with the dancing princess. Since being uploaded to YouTube two days ago, the clip has received more than 3.6 million views.
Happy Thursday.

Hagerstown /ˈheɪɡərztaʊn/ is a city in Washington County, Maryland. It is the county seat of Washington County, and by many definitions, the largest city in a region known as Western Maryland (excluding adjacent Frederick County). The population of Hagerstown city proper at the 2010 census was 39,662, and the population of the Hagerstown-Martinsburg Metropolitan Area (extending into West Virginia) was 269,140. Hagerstown ranks as Maryland's sixth largest incorporated city.Hagerstown has a distinct topography, formed by stone ridges running from northeast to southwest through the center of town. Geography accordingly bounds its neighborhoods. These ridges consist of upper Stonehenge limestone. Many of the older buildings were built from this stone, which is easily quarried and dressed onsite. It whitens in weathering and the edgewise conglomerate and wavy laminae become distinctly visible, giving a handsome and uniquely "Cumberland Valley" appearance. Several of Hagerstown's churches are constructed of Stonehenge limestone and its value and beauty as building rock many be seen particularly in St. John's Episcopal Church on West Antietam Street and the Presbyterian Church at the corner of Washington and Prospect Streets. Brick and concrete eventually displaced this native stone in the construction process.Hagerstown anchors the Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV Metropolitan Statistical Area, which lies just northwest of the Washington-Baltimore-Northern Virginia, DC-MD-VA-WV Combined Statistical Area in the heart of the Great Appalachian Valley. The population of the metropolitan area in 2010 was 269,140. Greater Hagerstown is the fastest-growing metropolitan area in the state of Maryland and among the fastest growing in the United States.Despite its semi-rural Western Maryland setting, Hagerstown is a center of transit and commerce. Interstates 81 and 70, CSX, Norfolk Southern, and the Winchester and Western railroads, and Hagerstown Regional Airport form an extensive transportation network for the city. Hagerstown is also the chief commercial and industrial hub for a greater Tri-State Area that includes much of Western Maryland as well as significant portions of South Central Pennsylvania and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Hagerstown has often been referred to as, and is nicknamed, the Hub City. A person born in Hagerstown is officially called a Hagerstonian.
The official website for the city of Hagerstown is http://www.Hagerstownmd.org.

Jonathan Anderson: I gave Loewe fashion history
Jonathan Anderson worked hard to make people believe Loewe was always about fashion.
The designer was named creative director of the brand in 2013, tasked with transforming the label, which was predominantly known for its leather.
It meant Jonathan had to get imaginative and create a bit of smoke and mirrors to make his apparel seem natural for Loewe.
"We're not a Dior. We have to use our resources differently. It's a new brand and that's the way I look at it. Yes it's got 200 years of history but..." he explained to independent.co.uk.
"Loewe had to fundamentally get a fashion culture overnight.
"We had to make people believe that this brand had fashion before."
The designer also has a namesake label and his career suits him down to a tee. That's despite growing up with a rugby player dad and a generally sports-mad family.
"I was very into swimming, but I was never into contact sports," he reasoned. "I think it was because I knew I wasn't going to get damaged."
Jonathan likes to toy with the idea of fashion imagery and whether people "own it" or not. He's often been criticised for referencing other people's work in his own, but it doesn't bother him.
"I'm very open about this, because I'm comfortable with it: everyone has their place, and I am an editor. I am a creative director. I'm about getting a bunch of people and trying to produce this one vision. I'm not going to tell you what it's going to be because I want you to challenge me," he argued.

5 Vehicles We Wanted So Bad as Kids — And We'd Love Just as Much Today
A look back at five rides we wanted so bad as kids, and we would love just as much right now.
A look back at five rides we wanted so bad as kids, and we would love just as much right now.
In anticipation of the upcoming release of 'Skyfall,' the 23rd installment of the James Bond franchise, we've explored five of our favorite Bond gadgets and put them to the test of reality. It's every guy's (and probably girl's) dream to have their own real life Q and his accompanying gadgets. But how many of these are accurate portrayals of reality and how many are far-flung fantasies that belong on the big screen?
The nest chapter in the James Bond Series is on it's way out and a new trailer for SkyFall has just been released!
This trailer gets really in-depth with the movie. Almost to in-depth, after watching this I feel like I already know whats going to happen, but I'm still gonna go and watch it!
Daniel Craig stars in the new upcoming Bond movie "Skyfall", and just like all Bond movie trailers, the sh*t is confusing.
I've been waiting on the next Bond movie since Casino Royal, Quantum Of Solace didn't count in my eyes. Hopefully this next installment in the Daniel Craig era will be as good as the first.
007 has been assigned a new vehicle and no it's not an Aston Martin! The car company that has defined James bond through out the years Aston Martin has been retired. If your crying in your head right now and wondering what could possible replace such a legendary series of vehicles. Who has the sophistication, suaveness, sleek and power to step up to the plate and take over?
Bentley........that's who...

Developmental Program
What does 'Developmental Soccer' mean?
Some players feel an extended desire of playing soccer. Two months during the Summer simply isn't enough. They would like to practice more often and play on a more competitive level.
Players in the age groups U9, U10, U11 and U12 who have a passion for the game and ideally demonstrate a good to high level of soccer skills or talent might be interested in playing in a developmental team.
During the practices players and coaches focus on skill development, game sense and individual achievement as well as on team achievement.
The Hanover Soccer Club has to register developmental teams through the WYSA (Winnipeg Youth Soccer Association). That means home games are in Steinbach, all away games are in Winnipeg. That means a bit more time and driving is necessary. The Hanover Soccer Club already has a bit experience with a few developmental teams. Usually carpooling is possible.
As soon as the weather conditions are good enough to practice outside the teams start practising. Usually in April. The first games start by end of May.
The outdoor season ends in September. During the Summer Break is a two week play pause scheduled.
Developmental soccer isn't as inexpensive as recreational soccer. It is approximately $400-$500 for an outdoor and $450 for an indoor season. The fees include a full kit (jersey, shorts and socks) for each player, but it does not include any registration fee for tournaments.
How do I become a developmental player?
To join a developmental team every player has to attend at least one tryout.
Only a limited number of players are able to join a developmental team. For the coaches final assessment other indicators are as important as skills and talent, such as team- and coach-ability and determination.
After all soccer is still a game and should mean fun, but developmental soccer means discipline. The team comes first.

Dual Finish Foundation versus Miracle Cushion
As a surefire go-to for achieving perfectly smooth and even skin, choosing the right foundation is never something to be taken lightly. Especially after age 30 when skin loses its ability to bounce back from the effects of long days. We analyze two legendary Lancôme compact powder foundations so you can choose the best makeup for you.
Solid: Dual Finish Foundation
What: A compact powder foundation that can be applied wet or dry to correct, unify and mattify the complexion. Versatile, buildable and filled with specialized moisturizing agents, this cult favorite holds all day, blurring away imperfections.
How-to: Option 1: For a seamless look that's as natural as a second skin, sweep a little of the makeup across the entire face using a foundation brush. Option 2: For an entirely sophisticated look, gently moisten and apply foundation using the handy sponge.
Who for: For busy working girls looking for bright, glowing and relaxed skin that's guaranteed to stay looking fresh right up until the end of the day.
Liquid: Miracle Cushion
What: A part liquid, part compact hybrid foundation that combines the color-correcting effects of a skincare treatment with the skin-hydrating properties of glycerin as well as anti-aging adenosine and SPF 23/PA++ to protect skin from sun damage and harmful UV rays.
How-to: Simply press the soft cushion with the applicator to release a precise dose of tinted fluid. Apply sparsely and subtly, or across the entire face, according to the desired final result.
Who for: For bare-is-beautiful makeup lovers looking for all the practicality of a compact combined with the fresh finish of a liquid foundation and the benefits of a skin treatment.
Dual Finish Foundation and Miracle Cushion, Lancôme.

Hello, peoples! CoLoRWinD here and Thanksgiving is known for being a great time to catch up on video games you've missed. I myself didn't do too much of this as I mostly caught up on some rest, both from writing and from food. However, I did play the hell out of Half-Life 2 and Super Mario Galaxy. I finally got my gravity gun Half-Life 2 and I'm up to 111 stars in Super Mario Galaxy. So close...
I also started playing Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for review. Check that out here at PixlBit soon. My friend Rick also came over that weekend and played some of the game as well. He also attempted to install his copy of Skyrim on my computer but, as I already suspected, my PC couldn't run the game properly. To his credit, I'm surprised he got it to run at all but it was basically a slideshow of screenshots of the game rather than something playable.
Maybe the highlight of my weekend however was my discovery and installation of the Homebrew channel onto my Wii. Thanks to some help from the PixlBit crew, I can now try various apps not available before. I'm still learning about how it works and what the different apps do and which ones actually work but its a great tool to have. Now all I need is a classic controller to use for some of these emulators.
Well, that was my weekend. How was your Thanksgiving? If you don't celebrate thanksgiving for whatever reason, tell me what you did this weekend anyways. What did you play? Have you tried Mario & Sonic 2012? What are some recommendations for the homebrew channel? Comment below and let me know.
Peace and Love,

Will a cute/decent guy date a big girl?
What if the girl has a pretty face and a good personality?
Will he at least sleep with her?
Guys please answer, Thank you!
Most Helpful Guy
People have this idea in their head that body size is the only thing that's attractive, but it's not. Attractiveness is more about your attitude. I've seen plenty of skinny girls with little/no personality that guys have zero interest in. I've also seen plenty of "big" girls with an amazing personality that had guys always fighting for attention.20|20|0

Hello All,
Just to let you know that I have just released the 2nd edition paperback version of my scifi eBook, The Star Agency.

The paperback version is available from Amazon.com, Amazon UK and Amazon Europe. To get a copy of the book, click on this Universal Link, then in the Formats box, click on Paperback.
Many thanks and enjoy your reading,

The common response I read is "hes going to mooch off of women"
Or I don't want to have to PAY for him. He should be able to pay for himself.
Thats great, plenty of guys can get part-time jobs and still not afford to take you out on dates or pay for anything.
happens ALL THE TIME.
So is it really the job or is it the money?
Obviously a LITTLE money is required.
SO then I ask you, why just a little?
So he can afford to take you out ONE time?
So a little More then correct?
I say YES.
So obviously he has to be able to have enough money to support himself AND take you out on dates whenever he or you want. Dates usually cost at LEAST gas money.
So if money is so important, and a requirement, then its obviously a standard.
Are you just setting the bar too low for yourself if you stop there?
Why not a millionaire or billionaire?
Could it be that women who don't go after those, try and fail therefore they have to settle for lower wage men?
Maybe the solution is to milk money from multiple men to make up for the difference?
Most Helpful Guy
Its money.

Everyone was drunk last night. Wastey-face, sorority-girl, spring-break-at-Panama-City-Beach, puke-on-your-own shoes drunk. Well, except Bethenny, because she's pregnant. And Jill, because Jill wasn't in the episode (at all!). But all of the other Real Housewives of New York City were tossing drinks back like they had just gotten done with finals.
They drank and ate, ate and drank, and then they yelled at each other and revealed some latent lesbian tendencies. Ramona danced her middle-aged white lady jig during what she called "turtle time," and then there were some Hooters girls. As intensely alcoholic as the whole thing was, I would have picked their booze cruise over LuAnn's awkward, slobbery date with a manchild any day. I mean, it looked like he had highlights.
Let's just go ahead and get this unpleasantness out of the way: LuAnn fancies herself a singer just likes Kim from Atlanta does, and she found herself a producer with a mohawk that would actually go on record as thinking that she's just great. He also wears his sunglasses inside, and I think that tendency tells you a lot about a person's ability to make thoughtful, well-reasoned decisions. As for the actual recording, we all know how that part goes because we all watched Kim do it on and off for two season, but LuAnn went in, recorded, hit about a third of the notes and got auto-tuned within an inch of her life. The scenes where she sang were terrible but mercifully short, and I don't think too much blood leaked out of my ears in the process.
In much more pleasant surroundings, Bethenny, Kelly, Alex and Sonja accompanied Ramona on her bachelorette trip to St. John, which they insisted on referring to as a "bachelorette" despite the fact that Ramona has been married for 17 years. The place looked gorgeous and Ramona rented a ginormous yacht for all of them, and when Kelly saw it, she took of in a dead sprint toward it like if she got to the boat first, she would get to keep it. Incidentally, Kelly doesn't know what the phrase "eating crow" means or that gummy bears have fake sugar in them. Those are just a few things that we learned while the ladies were in the process of arriving at their vacation destination.
Ramona bought approximately 8,000 bathing suits and it was kind of adorable how excited she was about the whole thing, but the atmosphere got contentious pretty fast. Bethenny was straight off of a trip to her father's funeral and understandably in a bit of a mood, and Kelly was…well, she was just Kelly. Bethenny made some joke about needing to crush the grapes in the fridge if the waiter didn't get the intravenous drip of pinot to Ramona quickly enough, and Kelly got upset because she actually thought that Bethenny was going to mash up the grapes. Yep. I really can't improve on that, beyond the sort of farcical idiocy that it already is.
Then Ramona and Alex mentioned the issue of the Death Text from last week's episode and Kelly freaked out, demonstrated her profound misunderstanding of the concept of metaphors, told the group that Alex wasn't a normal person, denied that she was a sorority girl, said that she was going to go do cartwheels and then almost smashed into a glass door while trying to storm out. Like, literally, all of that took place in the space of about a minute and a half last night. Sometimes I make stuff up because it's more interesting than what actually happens on this show, but Kelly's day-to-day life is stranger than any of the stuff that I have swimming around inside of my head. Kelly and Bethenny were not allowed to sit together at the next meal.
Sonja, for her part, just wanted to know when it was time for her pedicure and didn't care to hear anything about Jill. Later, she refused to go snorkeling because she didn't want to ruin her good hair day. I like Sonja. I could have drinks with Sonja.
Did someone say drinks? It's time for our first bout of drunkenness for this episode! That embarrassing guy from a couple of weeks ago, Coerte (I used my journalism school powers and fact-checked that one, that's actually how you spell his name), took LuAnn to the dingiest corner of Chinatown for dinner and she seemed a tad horrified, but when they sat down and he ordered a drink called the "deal closer" in a really gross attempt to flirt, she seemed kind of charmed, which only made the entire thing even more gross than it already was.
As if that wasn't enough, in order to up the ante of groan-worthy date faux pas, HE GAVE HER A COPY OF HIS BOOK. He told her that he had a surprise for her…and the surprise was his book. If I had been LuAnn, I would have taken the book and used it to beat him about the face. For some reason, though, she didn't seem nearly as disappointed by that "gesture" as I would have been. In fact, the book-giving lead to them talking about "playing tennis" on LuAnn's "court," but I'm pretty sure that's not what they were actually talking about at all. Then there was a ball of fire that whipped through the place and it almost managed to burn the image of the two of them awkwardly making out from my retinas. Almost. But not quite. It was sort of like this:
Back on the yacht, the girls were taking shots of Café Patron (such beautiful, delicious booze that stuff is) and things got a little emotional and share-y when Bethenny mentioned her father's recent death. Kelly took it upon herself to tell Bethenny that her feelings about her father were incorrect and that her situation wasn't all that terrible, and even if that was true (which, by all accounts, it doesn't seem to be), that's still not appropriate to say to someone immediately following the death of their father. Luckily for all involved, Ramona showed up just in the nick of time, slurring her words and waving around a Hooters calendar. Soon after, the conversation moved on to whether or not Kelly fantasizes about women and if she should have a one-night stand (Sonja is voting yes, Kelly is dubious. Kelly's from the Midwest, you see, where no one has ever had a one-night stand, ever.)
And then it became clear that Ramona wasn't the only one who was a few sheets to the wind – they were ALL hammered. Sonja went from talking about having sex (which seems to be her default position) to admitting that she was insecure about her body and not entirely over her divorce. Bethenny and Sonja were both having lots of messy emotions and kumbaya-share-time and Kelly got mad at them for feeling things, which she thinks is a very 1979 thing to do. Literally, she said that. And then Kelly told Bethenny that she wasn't a chef, that she was just a cook (which is somehow creepy), and that no one cared about her, and that she should get over the stuff that went on last year, and again that she was creepy. Oh, and also, she's a "ho bag." After laying that one down, Kelly stormed off, managing to not smash her face into a door that time.
Bethenny, for her part, stayed completely calm and then went over to the Hooters boat next door, where Ramona was hammered and flirting with some old man, yet somehow simultaneously talking about how she loves Mario. Ramona may or may not have grabbed Bethenny's boobs while she was trying to tell Ramona about the spontaneous screaming match that just broke out between her and Kelly, and I'm not sure that the entirety of the story penetrated Ramona's alcohol haze.
Eventually Kelly showed up on the Hooters boat and Ramona really tried to kick her off, but she was too drunk and got distracted by the idea that they should all go have "turtle time." Turtle time, as it turns out, is what Ramona calls it when she gets to go do her white lady samba, which has no relationship to the actual beat of the music, at some tourist bar called the Fat Turtle. While Alex, Bethenny and Ramona had turtle time, Sonja and Kelly were having some time of their own that involved wrestling on a bed. Not that I mean to, you know, cast aspersions or anything…
An interesting tidbit to start this afternoon's discussion: on Watch What Happens Live after the show last night, Andy Cohen said that Kelly hated the way that this episode was edited and felt like it was unfair to her. I say that she shouldn't blame other people just because she forgot what a jerk she was when she was drunk – what do you say?

I was watching an episode of Criminal Minds. And in this episode, a man with a hero complex who used to suffocate his kid and resuscitate him, found that wasn't enough anymore.
So he creates a "choking game" website, telling kids their school will win or they'll win for the most minutes being choked.
And obviously, some kids died from this. But the team goes in and says they're not suicides. But for me, it's iffy. Obviously the man should have some sort of charge, I guess. But he never put the belt around their necks, told them they HAD to do t, threatened their lives to do it etc. These kids saw a cool fad, and choked themselves and died.
If it was taking drugs, we'd say these kids should've been more responsible (obviously who gave them the drugs makes it not the best example).
But yeah, to me it's suicide, or at least self caused death... But some people I've seen argue that it's murder not suicide.
Don't need to have seen the episode, I gave all the info here you need really. So you say, suicide or not?
Is this suicide or not?

Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 2
its both.11|00|0
There are also other things which cause death, which don't have to be cases of suicide. So I'd say this isn't suicide.11|00|0
What Girls Said 1
I understand why you think it's suicide. But I would say it's murder.
These kids were convinced by this man. It's like he killed them, even though he didn't touch them.
They "didn't want to die" , they were just blind and they though nothing would happen. That's why I guess it's not suicide.00|00|0
Yeah, I see that too, it's why it was iffy to me. But he didn't necessarily convince them in my mind. I can create a game that says stab yourself in the stomach and dare people to do it, but if they do... is it really my fault? (I mean personally, I'd feel guilty... but does it make me responsible?)
I guess for me it wasn't right to call him a murderer, but I also don't 100% call them suicide.

Caity DeGaris
1.Crystals are solid material where ions, atoms and molecules fit together in a repeated pattern. These different patterns cause the material of the crystal to form unique shapes. The charge of a crystal is neutral in order for it to grow and form.
2. Naturally formed crystals can take millions of years to form once the liquid inside the Earth has cooled and hardened. Crystals made from human commonly take shorter amount of time and they can be made out of salts, ice and dry ice such as sodium chloride and various metals.
3. Crystals are grown naturally deep within different surfaces, such as rock caves and the Earth's surface. They can grow is mineral rich solutions in spacious areas such as rock cavities or molten rock.
4. Crystals are grown in a solution that can only hold a certain amount of solute. This is called the solubility of a solution. When the temperature of the solution is increased, hot water dissolves more solid substance than the cold water. This is because heated water molecules tent to move farther apart, making room for more solid substance to dissolve as well. When no more of the solid substance can be dissolved, the solution is then called 'saturated'. As this solution cools, the water molecules then move closer together again and there's less room for the solution to hold onto the dissolved solid. Crystals begin to form and build on one another as the water lets go of the excess solute. This process is called recrysallization and depending on conditions, it may grow many small crystals or one large crystal.
5. Crystals grow into certain shapes, sizes and colours because the atoms or molecules join together in a certain pattern that repeats itself over and over to create a certain shape. A crystal grows by adding atoms or molecules to all its sides in the exact same pattern as the atoms and molecules that were added before this. Because each different crystal is made up of a different building block (atom or molecule) they each have a different structure, shape and colour. Also depending on the growing conditions, the crystal grows at different speed and may affect the resulting size.
6. Different types of crystals may include; salt crystals, metallic crystals, ionic crystals, molecular crystals and covalent crystals.
7. When light travels through a crystal, it is refracted. When travelling from a less dense medium into a crystal, the light bends towards the normal. When the light exits the crystal, because of the many faces, the light disperses in different directions.
8. The optimum growing conditions are warm surroundings, including warm solution and warm air temperature. Crystals will still grow in cooler temperatures, but it will take longer for the water to evaporate. Crystal growth also requires light but the crystals will eventually grow in the dark, but it will take a very long time.
· Two 250mL beakers
· Filter funnel and filter paper
· Stirring rod
· Place 25g of potash alum in one beaker and add 170mL of hot water. Stir the mixture until all of the particles are dissolved. (Note- Don't use all the alum).
· Then, filter the warm solution through a filter funnel (in which filter paper has been inserted) into another clean beaker. Cover the beaker of solution with r fresh filter paper and set aside in a cool, sheltered place and allow it to stand overnight.
· Clean beaker
· Tweezers
· Nylon thread
· Pencil or Stirring rod
· Ruler – if possible
· Observe the beaker, and look for any major changes. The bottom should be layered with a small layer of crystals which formed while the solution cooled.
· Carefully pour the clear solution above the crystals into a clean beaker and set it aside for later.
· From the bed of crystals, one crystal needs to be selected as "seed" for the main crystal. Using the tweezers, transfer the selected "seed" crystal into the beaker containing the used solution whilst trying to place it centrally in the beaker. A technique to promote growth is to suspend the crystal with a nylon thread tied round a stirring rod or pencil resting on the rim of the beaker. This step is not essential.
· Take a picture of the crystal next to a ruler for the first stages of the crystal growth.
Picture 1: This is a picture of the very start of the crystal growing. We are pouring the Potash Alum into the hot water through a filter paper.
Picture 2: This is a picture showing how high the solution is both in mL and cm. The solution is approximately 175 mLs and 4.5 cms.
Picture 3: This is a picture of our solution after standing for one night. There is only one crystal at the bottom and it is quite large.
Picture 4: This is a picture of the same solution but this was after it had been standing for two nights. More crystals have grown over the second night but they are smaller than the first.
Picture 5: This is a picture of the first day of the crystal being moved into the jar. There is one big crystal amongst littler crystals.
Picture 6: This is also a picture of the crystal being moved on the first day, just from from birds eye view.
Picture 7: This is a picture of the crystal with fishing wire wrapped around it to help support it and to keep it in the middle of the jar.
Picture 8: This is a picture of the crystal being supported by a highlighter with the fishing wire wrapped around it.
Picture 9: This picture is taken on day 8 of the Crystal Project. This is showing that the solution level has dropped (evaporated) throughout the 8 days. It also shows the crystal hanging by the fishing wire.
Picture 10: This picture is showing high high the solution level is. The solution in approximately 3cm high in this picture.
Picture 11: This is a picture of day 11 of the crystal making. The picture shows the crystal hanging from the fishing wire with the protective cover over the top (paper hat). It also shows that the solution level has dropped from the start.
Picture 12: This is a picture of the crystal closer up.
Picture 13: This is a picture on day 15 of the crystal. The light is shining on the crystal in hopes that the solution will evaporate making the crystal grow a little faster.
My crystal hasn't really grown over the 4 weeks of this assessment. However, it has grown to take on more of a crystal like shape with what looks like lots of crystal joined as one. The liquid level of the substance went from 4cms on a ruler down to 2cms.
In the images below, you can see the definition of the edges of the crystal. The crystal has become 2cms exactly whereas when it first started it was 2.6cms meaning that it has lose .6cms of its diameter.

GEORGE ESCOBAR,PLAINTIFF,v.MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,DEFENDANT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Charles F. Eick United States Magistrate Judge
ORDER RE: "COUNSEL'S MOTION FOR ATTORNEY FEES PURSUANT TO 42 U.S.C. § 406(b)"
On September 15, 2011, counsel for Plaintiff filed "Counsel's Motion for Attorney Fees Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b)" ("the motion"). On September 29, 2011, Defendant filed a response. Counsel for Plaintiff seeks attorney's fees in the amount of $15,122.
Following a stipulated remand, the Commissioner awarded benefits to Plaintiff totaling $96,400. Plaintiff's counsel represented Plaintiff under a contingent fee agreement providing for fees in the amount of 25 percent of past-due benefits.
Section 406(b)(1) of Title 42 provides:
Whenever a court renders a judgment favorable to a claimant . . . who was represented before the court by an attorney, the court may determine and allow as part of its judgment a reasonable fee for such representation, not in excess of 25 percent of the total of the past-due benefits to which the claimant is entitled . . . In case of any such judgment, no other fee may be payable . . . for such representation except as provided in this paragraph. 42 U.S.C. § 406(b)(1)(A).
According to the United States Supreme Court, section 406(b) does not displace contingent-fee agreements as the primary means by which fees are set for successfully representing Social Security benefits claimants in court. Rather, § 406(b) calls for court review of such arrangements as an independent check, to assure that they yield reasonable results in particular cases. Congress has provided one boundary line: Agreements are unenforceable to the extent that they provide for fees exceeding 25 percent of the past-due benefits. Within this 25 percent boundary . . . the attorney for the successful claimant must show that the fee sought is reasonable for the services rendered. Gisbrecht v. Barnhart, 535 U.S. 789, 807 (2002) (citations omitted) ("Gisbrecht").
The hours spent by counsel representing the claimant and counsel's "normal hourly billing charge for non-contingent-fee cases" may aid "the court's assessment of the reasonableness of the fee yielded by the fee agreement." Id. at 808. The Court appropriately may reduce counsel's recovery based on the character of the representation and the results the representative achieved. If the attorney is responsible for delay, for example, a reduction is in order so that the attorney will not profit from the accumulation of benefits during the pendency of the case in court. If the benefits are large in comparison to the amount of time counsel spent on the case, a downward adjustment is similarly in order.
Id. (citations omitted).
The fee sought does not exceed the agreed-upon 25 percent of past-due benefits. Neither "the character of the representation" nor "the results the representative achieved" suggest the unreasonableness of the fee sought. Plaintiff's counsel was not responsible for any significant delay in securing Plaintiff's benefits. Because the present case is legally indistinguishable from Crawford v. Astrue, 586 F.3d 1142 (9th Cir. 2009), this Court is unable to find that a comparison of the benefits secured and the time Plaintiff's counsel spent on the matter suggest the unreasonableness of the fee sought. Therefore, the Court concludes that "the fee sought is reasonable for the services rendered," within the meaning of Gisbrecht.
Section 406(b) fees are allowed in the gross amount of $15,122, to be paid out of the sums withheld by the Commissioner from Plaintiff's benefits. Counsel shall reimburse Plaintiff in the amount of $3,678, previously paid ...

Traffic and Licensing Services Lagging In Revenue Collection
Traffic and Licensing Services had collected R4.2 million of a targeted just over R10 million after two months of the current financial year, according to a report to be submitted to the Safety and Security Committee.
The target for the whole of the financial year, according to the report, is R60.2 million.
Revenue from parking meters over the two-month period totalled R5 221.00 against a target of R59 638.00.
The report shows that the division was close to target with regard to revenue collection only as far as drivers' license card conversions; learners and drivers' license fees and escort duties are concerned.
Revenue from drivers' license card conversions over the first two months of 2014/15 totalled R1.31 million against a target of R1.57 million and from learners and drivers' license fees R1.9 million (R2.2 million), while escort duties brought in R35 566.00 (R35 582.00).
The report indicates that learners and drivers' license fees and card conversions are two of the major sources of revenue for the department and it has budgeted to collect R22.6 million in 2014/15.
The major revenue sources is fines and compoundments for which the department has budgeted to collect R22.3 mil-lion this financial year.
However, after the first two months revenue totalled R480 153.00 against a budgeted target for this period of R3.7 million.
The report also shows that prosecutions for traffic violations in August this year compared with the same month last year dropped from 20 629 to 389.
It states that while there were 11 787 prosecutions for speeding in August 2013, the figure had dropped to 61 a year later, while the number of prosecution for all moving violations, which includes "robot disobedience," illegal over-taking and disobeying road signs decreased from 15 422 to 95 year-on-year. - MetroMinutes.

|[jira] [Commented] (HDFS-1973) HA: HDFS clients must handle namenode failover and switch over to the new active namenode.
|Thu, 09 Jun 2011 19:30:59 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1973?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13046767#comment-13046767 ] Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-1973: -------------------------------------- Hi Hari, bq. Can you please elaborate a little bit on your area of interest with ZOOKEEPER-1080? As noted in Sanjay's design doc, one proposal for detecting NN failure would be to use an external ZK service. The HDFS proposal doesn't go into great detail on this, but it suggests using ZK with a heartbeat mechanism to see if the NN is still alive. I personally like the ZK recipe better (i.e. using ephemeral + sequence nodes). Another possible use for ZK in the implementation of NN HA would be to use ZK as the source of truth for clients to determine the active NN. This would seem to flow naturally from the part of the ZK recipe which says "Applications may consider creating a separate to znode to acknowledge that the leader has executed the leader procedure." If NN HA were to utilize an implementation of the ZK leader election recipe, then perhaps this "leader-procedure-complete znode" could store the IP or hostname of the active NN which clients could use. I haven't read the design doc posted on ZOOKEEPER-1080 yet. I'll go ahead and do that and post my comments there. I should also mention that we have not settled upon what strategy we'll take to do NN failure detection or client failover. As noted in Sanjay's design doc, we're also strongly considering using virtual IPs for client failover. > HA: HDFS clients must handle namenode failover and switch over to the new active namenode. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-1973 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1973 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Suresh Srinivas > Assignee: Aaron T.

Supermarket Rush
My grandma baked me and my sister cookies but they were burnt. I asked my grandma why they were burnt and she told me the whole story. First she was at the antique store which was 27 miles from her house and then went on a slow, constant rate of 18 miles per hour (every 10 minutes she goes 3 miles) to the supermarket which took her 30 minutes to get there. Then she stayed at the supermarket which was 36 miles from her home for an hour to find the perfect rug for her living room. But then she forgot about the cookies and ran to her car and went on a very fast constant rate of 72 miles per hour (every 5 minutes she goes 6 miles) and took her 30 minutes to get to her house, she also most ran over a person and almost got caught by the police and so that was the end of her story.

How am I supposed to tell my sons they need to get on board with that?

Is Feminism a Dirty Word?
How did this happen?
When Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer said she doesn't consider herself a feminist, I thought, "how is it possible that such an intelligent woman could say that?" To be honest, I immediately lost a certain amount of respect for her.
Then I started thinking: why would she say that?
Let's start with this: What does feminism make you think of?
Burning bras? Extremism? Hairy arm pits?
A jaded and unattractive woman in a pant suit? A beautiful women in a sundress?
Chances are you only thought of the first four. Am I right?
Now, what does feminism mean?
A movement to help women be seen, treated and respected as equals to men.
What does a feminist really look like?
Me, my husband, and all of my friends–simply because I wouldn't be friends with someone who thinks women are second class citizens and deserve less respect than a man. Women and men in all industries, who dress well and shave their pits–or don't! To each their own!
How did we get this distorted idea of what a feminist is?
In North America, the media and advertising have traditionally been industries run by men. It's a fact that when the male-dominated media is threatened by something (god forbid women take over and stop perpetuating unhealthy beauty ideals), they find many ways to subtly (or not-so-subtly) demonize it. It's also a fact that the media is the most thought-altering force in humans lives.
What can we do?
If the word feminism has been dirtied by the media, we can spend our time fighting over the meaning of that word, or we can choose to describe what we believe in more accurately: The Women's Rights Movement, or The Equal Rights Movement.

I hate it when people confuse an ideology that frames all female suffering as the responsibility of all men (gender theory) with a movement toward equal access, but what can you do? Feminism has, indeed, presented itself as anti-male, anti-marriage, and anti-male sexuality for four decades, now, despite what feminists want to think everyone feels about them. Feminism has encouraged divorce, infidelity, paternal estrangement and other social ills in the name of equality, worked to stop men from organizing under our own issues and interests, and even mocks the pain and suffering as men as "ironic humor".
You cannot separate the ideology from the actions of those who follow it. Yes, feminism IS a dirty word to millions. The fault is not with those millions for not "getting it", it's feminism's fault for not understanding what the problem is. Instead it blames "patriarchy" and "misogyny" like they were two medieval demons while blasting masculinity and men in general with every breath.
And no, it's not that I "just don't know what feminism is". I was a Women's Studies major, and probably know more about feminism than you do. It's not a matter of ignorance . . . it's a matter of knowing too much. And what feminism is today is just . . . too much. We're rejecting it for a reason that has nothing to do with patriarchy or misogyny or rape culture. We're rejecting it because it stopped taking the happiness of men and women into account. When feminism can be used as a rationalization to attack men wholesale, is it any surprise you might get some resistance?
I hate when people confuse feminism for "hating men" or whatnot. First of all, it takes a certain amount of misunderstanding to take a movement supposed to be about empowering women and making it about men. But it also delegitimizes feminist arguments, which damages the whole ideal based on the words of a few social justice extremists. Using the (relatively fewer) extremists as an excuse to disregard feminism just shows ignorance.
I think there's different levels to feminism. I believe there's regular feminism and then extremist. But I guess I can be considered a feminist as well. Women aren't second class citizens, we are completely equal and capable of doing anything a man can. But in the media they place feminist as a unattractive, manly women who might be a lesbian (yes I heard stereotypes of this). But this is far from the case.
It's really refreshing to read something from this perspective. I have always felt like "feminist" should be an exceptionally inclusive term, something akin to simply being a humanist. But it seems that it's been manipulated to look like what is only a small fraction of the feminist movement. When you get right down to what feminists actually stand for, as opposed to this man-hating culture the media would like us to think is feminism, it seems like a pretty moderate point of view.
