I have to say I was shocked to see negative reviews of this product, and I wonder if the formula might be different from country to country. I'm in Australia, and I first purchased this 8 years ago. It was a new product in my local supermarket, and given my propensity for underarm sweating, I jumped at the chance to try it, even though it was 4 times the price of any AP I'd previously bought. I tried it that night, and the next day I didn't have to reapply AP like I'd previously had to! I was sold! This completely stops ALL perspiration, and therefore all the associated smell! I have used it almost every day since then. Even the times when I haven't used it, the product is still doing its job, so I truly do get the 48 hours coverage! Actually, there have been a few times that I didn't, but that was when I'd run on really hot days.
One of my favourite things about the "Shower Fresh" & "Green Tea & Cucumber" versions, is that they are both very low scent, so they do not interfere with any perfume that I choose to wear!
I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is a heavy sweater, and is considering the prescription path for an AP.
Oh, and it's great for the ladies who have larger breasts! You all know what I mean!!

I love my Dove deodorant in winter....I don't get underarm wetness and it works fine, but come summer I get underarm wetness, which often ruins shirts and is kind of embarrassing. I bought this deodorant for $8. It went on smooth, smells great, feels good. However, within an hour I already had wet underarms. It was an 80 degree morning.... I was sitting down in the nice cool breeze under shade and got the wetness under my arm within an HOUR of putting it on.
I can't tell a difference between their regular lower priced regular deodorant and this one. why pay all the extra money just because it says clinical strength?

I have tried a number of different deodorants. AIl of them have work temporarily. I use Certain Dri for a year or two but I needed something for the day and it was a little harsh to my underarms. I discovered dove clinical protection and was pleasantly surprised that its cream texture was gentle on my skin. It also prevented me from sweating which I've suffered from. Its available in wonderful setting such as the cucumber and the pomegranate. It's pricey in the range of 8 to 10 dollars. And it runs out fast because it is to twist up but I will continue to purchase this because the pros out weight the cons. Would recommend to anyone.

Dove Clinical deodorant does not hold up to heavy sweating. I would not buy this again.

This anti-perspirant is great. The smell is great and it last all day, however for the cost, the bottle did not last long at all. Maybe a week or two? I don't know but it was empty really fast. I'm not sure it's worth the price.

I am a eighteen year old female, who embarrassingly sweats like a man. Before this product I was always running to the bathroom to take care of said sweat and apply deodorant. This product saved my dignity! I only have to apply once and not have to worry about sweating through my shirt or anything like that. Its not as cheap as most deodorant, but the pricing is still well and COMPLETELY worth it.

I used to use this in the cucumber/green tea and was really happy with it, even though the container leaks and I would have to travel with the box or a brand new one or something else entirely. And even though it dried out my pits something fierce. Then one day, it stopped working. Just like that. I thought maybe I had gotten used to it, or something like that, so I'd switch to something else for a week or a month, and return to it, and it still didn't work. I also tried the plum scent, and that one didn't work either, and it smelled disgusting.

I bought this in the "revive" fragrance, which initially appealed to me due to what I expected would be a fruity aroma. Alas, it ain't fruity. It smells like stale beer. It works well enough in terms of perspiration control, but then so does Secret Clinical (choose a scent), which doesn't make me smell like I woke up drunk in a ditch. Straight into the trash it goes.
I cannot rave enough about the Dove Men+care line of soaps - some of which I use myself and swear by - and, indeed, the Dove Sensitive Skin soap as well, but this fragrance is absolutely appalling. On top of that, I am about as cheap as they come and will find an excuse to use up anything I spent my hard-earned money on, but not this time. I hate to throw it out, but one does what one must.

Works pretty f***ing great for making sure you're not dripping your nasty body fluids out of your wretched pit holes.
I personally don't like a lot of women's pit sticks because they always smell like a chemical lab fell from the sky and landed in a pseudo field of roses. No thanks!
But this stuff just smells like a pit stick should. Just a regular clean scent that's not super strong.
It's great for keeping you dry. Works wonders on the under-boob area too.
Don't act like you don't sweat under your boobs. F***ing liars!
A little FYI tho, make sure you rub it into your skin all the way because if you don't all of your black or dark shirts will have a lovely white stain that is a pain in the ass to get off!

I'm one of those girls who NO MATTER what deodorant I use, i cant stop sweating!
So i saw this one on a tv ad, and decided to try it!
I tried the Green tea / cucumber!
I was so impressed with the results!
It is now a daily essential for me to use!
The only deodorant that maintains 100% dryness throughout the day for me!
*Smells really nice
*super duper easy to apply
I can go a whole day at a netball competition, without even gaining a sweat!
So glad i tried this product! 10/10!!! :D

Works with ICS Not the greatest looking UI but does the job. Plays my magic jack voice mail message wav file right from my Gmail app. I rate this app 3 stars because there is a better app out there called WavPlayer it looks way better and the audio quality and volume is much better and has more useful settings. So now I'm using WavPlayer.
Thanks so much for a great solution I upgrade from a droid to a Samsung Galaxy S III today. The pre-install android apps on both phones cannot play the voicemail messages which are forwared automatically from my home phone as email attachments. But thankfully Remote Wave can! Without this I would never buy an Android based phone! Thanks so much for this product! I cannot beleive that Google has not addresss this with a fix in 5 years when Remote Wave has known how to process these wav files for the entire time! I bought the orginal version but the free version was fine on the new phone. I would happily pay for this as the $1.71 (USD) is a bargain for a product I will need to use for the next 3-4 years
FINALLY!! I have been desperately seeking Susan...just kidding. I have been scouring the net for months that would play wave file attachments in an email. Like so many others, my verizon voicemail is sent to me via email as a wave file attachment. This program plays the wave file right out of the email. There is no need to download the file and go look for it to play it. I would gladly pay this developer for this wonderful application. Thank you so much for making my life easy.
Thank you for this great app I could not listen to my voicemail sent to my email in a .wav file until I found this app. Now I don't have any problems listening to messages on both my Motorola Xoom & Razr Max. I even called Motorola Android support and they basicly said sorry, Android only supports the older version of wav files and not the newer version, mono wav. They said I would have to wait for the next Android update. Thank you so much for this app!!!
I'm happy. Just installed the free version on my old HTC Merge (sliding QWERTY keyboard) with Android 2.3.4, and it worked fine. I wanted the volume higher than the +25% showing, so I uninstalled the free version and hoped the paid version would allow volume control. Doesn't seem to. But, I can listen to my MagicJack v-mails OK as an attachment in e-mail. Just what I needed. I don't mind paying the developers $2 since it helps me, even if I would have thought the paid version may have more features. (Why have a volume "button" if it doesn't do anything? Oh well, mysteries of the programming world.)
Well, WAS excellent. UPDATE: This app worked like a charm, now I can't find it. Redownloaded it - still won't open anything because it doesnt show up anywhere. Then I read I should download the pd version if I can't see the free version. Really?? I wouldn't mind paying, but some have said that the paid version doesn't work either. *** I also have magic jack and havent been able to find anything that could play the wav. files. This app fits the bill!! Awesome and excited!

Pop the champagne corks, Leicester City's promotion train is nearing its Premier League destination and they will now almost certainly be crowned champions after ending the second-placed Burnley's proud unbeaten home record.
David Nugent's 35th-minute strike and Chris Wood's wonderful volley 12 minutes from time proved the difference at Turf Moor and emphasised the gulf in class and resources between Nigel Pearson's side and their nearest challengers.
While both teams were on impressive unbeaten runs that stretched to December, Burnley's Achilles' heel, namely the depth of their squad, derailed their attempts to usurp their expensively assembled opponents at the summit of the Sky Bet Championship.
Shorn of key men such as Dean Marney, Kieran Trippier and their 20-goal Championship player of the year Danny Ings, against powerful opponents it appeared a mismatch before ball had even been kicked, yet Sean Dyche's patched-up team started with the intensity and resilience that has underpinned their fairy-tale season.
However, they were handicapped further when Sam Vokes went off injured with just eight minutes on the clock. Without both of their prolific pairing, Burnley's hopes of disturbing the iron willed equanimity of the Leicester defence looked forlorn and the visitors took advantage.
"I don't like to see any player injured and hope it's nothing serious, it didn't look very nice but what you have to do is make the most of the circumstances in any given game," Pearson said.
"Crucially for them one or two players were missing. Vokes and Ings have scored goals. Trippier is also a big miss I think he's probably the league's highest assist maker but they've got a very good team ethic.
"I just hope they finish the season in the fashion that they've been able to play most of the season so far and achieve their goals because I think they deserve it. Like them our front two have been the catalyst for how we play Nugent and [Jamie] Vardy but we feel that we have good options."
While Dyche was forced to replace Vokes with defender-cum-midfielder David Edgar, Pearson turned to one of his "good options", £2 million striker Wood, when Vardy limped from the field in the 34th minute. His impact was immediate, playing in Nugent who shimmied past Michael Duff to curl a delicious finish beyond Tom Heaton.
Wood, whose chances have been restricted by the form of Nugent and Vardy, then showed his finishing prowess with coruscating strike in the 78th minute, though his apparent shove on Duff in the build-up appeared an obvious free-kick to all except referee Chris Foy, whose erratic decisions brought derision from the home support all afternoon.
"A couple of decisions didn't go for us but overall I thought they deserved the win," said a magnanimous Dyche, who admitted that he was concerned by the Clarets mounting injury problems. "They're a very good side, it's a side that has been constructed for a couple of quid and who have been kept together but I would've liked to have gone toe to toe with them at full strength."

I used to take alot of immodiums every day until this last flare, and I am also on pentasa.It was prescribed to me by the doctor, and he actually told me I could take up 32 a day, considering the max dose for a 'normal' person is 8 a day. But it didn't stop the D completely, and didn't make me constipated either. But I tried not to take more than 10 a day, as that did seem to help.
The questran light helped me more with the D though, so was taking that twice a day, once in the morning before food and then again at night before my main evening meal,I didn't take it at lunch time because I generally don't eat a big lunch, if anything.
I did notice that since being on the questran and having B12 injections that my D did slow down considerably, so maybe these are an option for you.But obviously everyone is different, so what works for one, may not work for another.
Also through diet as well, once you learn what you can and can't tolerate food wise, this helps too with D.
Hope you find some relief!

My gastro told me I can take it every day, all I want as needed. I only take 1/2 a pill a day, I seem to be doing "better" (yeah). But in the past I have gotten into some Sorbitol (in some ice cream) and I couldn't leave my sister's house until I took like 4.5 or 5 of them in a row. I was nervous about
taking that many, but it worked.

I think you should check with your doctor before taking Imodium. Whether it is safe for us to take it or not depends on where our Crohn's is, and how severe it is.

I take Immodium when I am going out and have D symptoms - I also carry it with me just in case. I use it for the convenience of occasionally wanting to be out and eating and drinking and not have to be tied to the bathroom. Usually I use my medicine and diet to control my symptoms but as we all know that doesn't always work. For example, yesterday I was out on a date and ate or drank something that didn't agree with me - thank goodness I had Immodium with me, I took 2 and drank a big glass of water and I was fine - if I was having more symptoms I would have had to go home.
I usually don't take more than 4 within a few hours; if I need more than that I go/stay home and rest. It sucks but is part of what I go through with my Crohn's.

I have found it has a rebound effect on me. I use it (usually a half, sometimes a whole one) if I must but I end up with worse D and pain in a day or two. JMHO

I agree that it's best to talk to your doctor about
it. It can depend on your disease as to whether or not they think it's okay for you.
With that said I've taken it every day for over a decade. Before getting diagnosed I was at around 5-6 Immodium a day. It helped, but honestly really didn't touch the pain and D I had back then. Which amazed everyone I knew, because if they took that much they'd be plugged for weeks! Now I also take Questran, and that helps me SO much. My "magic bullet," as I call it, is my questran and 2 immodium daily. Without it I wouldn't have a quality of life!
Of course it doesn't do much if I'm in a full out flare. I lost my gallbladder several years back, so I'm also dealing with having diarrhea from too much bile in my system.

Why 32 immodium at most? I don't know about
immodium, but overdosage, for many meds, is more than 4 times the maximum. Then 8 immodium a day... 4 times 8... do the math.
Immodium helped me in the past. Now, I'm ok just with questran for the D. My doc says immodium is a safe med, so I woudn't worry in going that path again.

If you have any kind of strictures or narrowing you should use the Immodium with caution. I am like Funguy I only use it once in awhile, but when I do I get the rebound effect too,

If you know for sure your problem is crohn's, and not caused by a bacterial or viral infection, then it's probably ok to take immodium every once in a while to help get through a difficult situation. My husband has had problems with recurring c-diff infections, and one of the worst things you can do is take immodium and counter the body's reaction to purge the system of the bacteria, therefore allowing the bacteria to replicate and make the infection worse. For my husband, if he starts having D, the first thing we have to go is test his stool for possible pathogens, before taking any course of action.
So, my advice would be to make sure that you have no infectious causes for the D, before starting immodium.

Honestly, I'm scared to try immodium. My doc was telling me that it actually stops the system and some people don't start back up again causing trouble. Then I read all of these posts and it seems like most everyone takes it. I guess that I get some slowing with the pain meds, which is a nice side effect.

After having a right hemicolectomy (part of the colon resected) years ago I was told that I would have to live with the D years down the line i was given Lomotil which starts working when it hit the large bowel, it was excellent! could take up to 8 tabs aday but only needed to take 2 in the morning and would get through a whole day eating and drinking normal amounts. Immodium in melt form or tab does nothing for me. Bev x

|Fire & Fury, Trump's Audience, Clueless Elitesc
Fire & Fury
Here is a quick summary of major events that took place in the past 48 hours.
|About That Vote, WWKD?, Overplaying Her Hand
About That Vote
The 15-to-0 Security Council vote imposing the toughest sanctions ever on North Korea is still reverberating today. U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, whom I admire, was asked this morning on Fox & Friends what turned the tide at the U.N. Security Council to get China and Russia on board.
Haley answered, "It was really me saying, 'How many more ICBM [intercontinental ballistic missile] tests do we need to have before we do something?"
|15-To-0, Ready For 2020?
The United Nations Security Council voted 15-to-0 this weekend in support of tough new sanctions against North Korea. The sanctions, drafted by the United States, come in the wake of repeated ballistic missile tests that have revealed shocking advances in the Stalinist regime's capabilities.
|Mueller Goes Nuclear, Elite Disdain, Plugging Leaks
Mueller Goes Nuclear
News broke late yesterday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury in Washington, D.C. Subpoenas related to last year's meeting at Trump Tower between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer have reportedly been issued.
Grand jury investigations are supposed to be secret, so this news was obviously leaked by someone on Mueller's staff or in the Justice Department in order to damage the president.
|Miller Gets "Acosted", Those Canadian Bigots, The Case For A Special Prosecutor
Miller Gets "Acosted"
Trump Senior Policy Adviser Stephen Miller stepped up to the podium yesterday in the White House Briefing Room to answer questions about the RAISE Act, legislation reforming the nation's legal immigration system. He ended up getting accosted by CNN's left-wing "attack dog," Jim Acosta.
Their epic exchange is a perfect example of the division between left and right. It is also clear evidence that many so-called "journalists" are not unbiased reporters of facts, but active combatants on one side of America's culture war.
|America First, Restoring The Rule Of Law, Scandal Update
America First
President Trump today announced his support for the RAISE Act, legislation reforming the nation's legal immigration system. The RAISE Act is co-sponsored by Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR) and David Perdue (R-GA).
If enacted, the measure would reduce legal immigration by 50%. That may sound like a lot because it is a lot.
|Clapper Controversy, "A Grave Threat", Tisha B'Av
Clapper Controversy
A big story broke in the last 24 hours. This story it has far greater implications than anything else the left-wing pundits are talking about, but you won't hear about it from the mainstream media. It goes straight to the question of whether Barack Obama weaponized America's intelligence agencies against Congress and perhaps even the Supreme Court.
|BREAKING NEWS, Kelly In Command Kelly In Command, New Korean Crisis
BREAKING NEWS: President Trump has fired White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci.
After a tumultuous ten-day tenure, sources say President Trump was not happy with Scaramucci's vulgar rant that appeared late last week in The New Yorker. Rarely has a new hire made such a big mistake so quickly. And for a communications director, it was a whopper.
|Obamacare Survives, McCain's Legacy , Trump Honors First Responders
Obamacare Survives
The media, the entire left-wing political establishment and three renegade Republican senators -- McCain, Murkowski and Collins -- once again demonstrated why it is virtually impossible to get rid of entitlement programs.
The debate over repealing Obamacare has been dominated by talk about those potentially uninsured and those with pre-existing conditions. Forgotten in all the sturm und drang were the millions of Americans whose lives were turned upside down by Obama's quasi-socialized healthcare scheme. The entire law was built on lies.
|A Revealing Reaction, Thank You, Mr. President, Bringing Jobs Back
A Revealing Reaction
The left's reaction to President Trump's announcement yesterday regarding transgendered individuals serving in the military was over-the-top in its vitriol and emotional appeals. Left-wing groups immediately played the bigotry card.
What was missing were fact-based explanations for how Obama's policy mainstreaming transgenderism and the associated costs, which are significant, help the military keep us safe and win wars.


text: We would like to host a happy hour recruiting reception for emergency residents, somewhere around 54th and 7th Ave; near Radio City Music Hall. A cool bar with perhaps some pool tables, large drink selection and appetizers. We're thinking about 50-60 people or so. We'd like a private room or area. Any suggestions? Nothing too fancy--we want them to be relaxed and chilled out.

July 7, 2009
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's announcement of her resignation and decision not to run for re-election was the only news story that trumped coverage of Michael Jackson's death during the following 24 hour news cycle.
Citing a "higher calling" as the reason for her resignation, Palin left her post with 16 months remaining in her term. Palin, 45, held a press conference at her lakefront home in Wasilla, saying she wanted to "take a stand and effect change, not just hit our head against the wall and waste valuable state time and money."
Palin will be succeeded by Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, who has announced he will seek to retain the office in the 2010 election.
Since the 2008 presidential campaign as John McCain's pick for vice president, Palin has faced fierce partisan politics in Alaska and cruel attacks against her family. Reports show some $600,000 in personal legal bills as Palin has defended herself against 16 ethics complaints, most of which have been dismissed without merit. Earlier this week, the Anchorage Daily News reported the complaints had cost the state personnel board nearly $300,000.
"I am willing to do this so this administration, with its positive agenda and its accomplishments and its successful road to an incredible future for Alaska, so that it can continue without interruption and with great administrative and legislative success," Palin said.
Speculation is rampant about not only Palin's future, but the Republican Party with her early departure.
Most social conservatives are reeling from the news. Chatter in coffee shops across the country includes one primary theme: confusion.
Admissions of extramarital affairs by South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and Nevada Sen. John Ensign would assume there are no presidential ambitions for them. Because Palin is popular among social conservatives and Christians, her resignation complicates the 2012 race.
For many Christians, Palin represented hope to embrace values consistent with biblical teaching. A recent CNN poll had Palin running neck-and-neck with former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former-Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee as favorites to lead the Republican 2012 ticket.
Pundits say Palin's resignation could allow her to spend more time in the lower 48 states campaigning while others wonder about possible looming legal concerns. But her attorney told The Associated Press that she has no legal problems and is merely tired of the hostile political environment, legal bills and other distractions.
On behalf of Palin, officials declined an interview with Crosswalk.com. Speaking in fishing waders from the town of Dillingham, however, Palin told media her administration has been paralyzed by fending off frivolous lawsuits.
"I'm not going to take the comfortable path. I'm going to take the right path for the state," she said, which she described as her way of moving forward after difficult challenges.
The move befuddled and divided some Republicans, drawing sharp criticism from George Bush's political advisor, Karl Rove, and Ed Rollins, who ran Ronald Reagan's election campaign, and who described Palin as "crashing and burning."
But not all Republicans see it that way.
"I believe she is such a fresh and unconventional voice that she can't do her job well and is making an honorable and noble decision," said Donna Lippoldt, director of development of the Kansas Family Policy Council. "I don't think conservatives are going to forget this pro-life moral visionary in Alaska just because she isn't governor. After all, who else do we have to go to?"
Lippoldt says many wrongly believe the governor's seat is nothing more than a platform to higher office.
Turning up the heat against secular news outlets, Saturday Gov. Palin's attorney warned lawsuits could come against mainstream news organizations' "defamatory" stories stating that Palin is under federal investigation.
On the heels of Palin's announcement, liberal blogs alleged that Palin possibly faces federal indictment over the 2002 sports arena construction project.
In a four-page letter, Alaska-based attorney Thomas Van Flein warned of legal consequences to those who publish stories about whether Palin embezzled money in a Wasilla, Alaska sports arena construction project.
As a way to counter left-leaning mainstream news reports, Palin is taking her message to social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
An ardent pro-life advocate, Palin gave birth last year to her fifth child, Trig, a boy with Downs Syndrome. Her conservative and pro-family message will certainly find a welcoming audience on the speaking circuit and in book publishing.
While Palin's self-proclaimed "unconventional" decision to leave the governorship at the end of the month has left political operatives scratching their heads, these "unconventional" methods may greatly depend deeply on how U.S. citizens feel about President Obama's venue of change.
Unconventional or not, Palin's choice appears to be better for her family and certainly provides a bright spot to her checkbook.

Quito Travel Blog› entry 1 of 31 › view all entries
We´ve finally made our way to Quito, Ecuador after a fab three and a half months in Central America. We love this city! It has gorgeous colonial buildings and cobblestone streets, AND all the comforts of a capital city.
We made our way to Mitad del Mundo (centre of the world) to get all the obligatory cheesy photos at the equator...
what is hilarious though, is that the huge monument, and kinda lame 'theme park´that marks the spot is 200+ metres off the actual equator! In the 1700´s, the french sent out an expedition to find out the equator´s exact location...obviously they got it wrong...but what is kinda cool is that real equator is nearly exactly in the middle of a pre-Incan ruin that dates back to 1000AD...how is it possible that the Pre-Incan people could locate it and the scientists couldn´t :-)
Anyway, we visited the real equator, which was marked with a cool little rundown museum with experiments that can only be done at the equator. Like watching water go down a sink clockwise in the southern hemisphere, walking five steps north and watching it go down the other way. Now why couldn't the French thought of that!

"Global warming is the biggest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it."
Longtime meteorologist and Weather Channel founder John Coleman
With last Friday's Earth Day marked by the US among 170 nations out of the planet's 190 nations signing last December's UN Paris climate change agreement at the United Nations, the topic "global warming/climate change" is once again all abuzz these days. Additionally, in less than a week a documentary entitled "The Climate Hustle" is being released in movie theaters nationwide on May 2nd debunking the notion that humans have caused global warming from the alleged increased CO2 greenhouse effect. This new film arrives as the answered rebuttal exactly a decade after ex-VP Al Gore's Oscar-winning "Inconvenient Truth" pushed the global warming agenda to unprecedented heights. Gore was rewarded with a Nobel Peace Prize for his propagandist sci-fi movie. Recall his "true planetary emergency" calling for "drastic measures" to reduce the greenhouse gases before "reaching the point of no return" within ten years. Well, his ten years have come and gone and for all his over-predicting of end-of-the-world crises due to global warming, Gore and his alarmist minions have virtually no evidence of any warming to show for all their doom and gloom catastrophic warnings.
That said, the global warming industry stakes are now worth an annual $1.5 trillion. Yet despite the global elites adapting a climate change agreement, a vast array of critics are blasting their Paris climate accord as merely a $100 billion boondoggle lacking any specific strategies or methods for reducing CO2 levels nor any mandated authority to enforce recommendations hinging on voluntary participation from all nations. Even the father of the global warming movement former NASA climatologist and green activist James Hanson trashes the Paris agreement:

Good news. I'm still hoping to see more of Godfrey though. Godfrey to start still I assume.
This will be good. Another body will definitely help. We have missed him in our previous few games he's missed. Godfrey is playing really well, hope to see more of him too.
Look for our rebound stats to decrease as well as our energy level on defense as a whole. Hopefully the tradeoff is a few more open shots going down on offense.
I had never been the ISU Facebook site before. Sweet video of Grayer dunking vs Mich St.
i "like" it so it shows all these updates on my newsfeed. this is just the mbb page. i think there's an isu, isufb, and goiowastate page as well...
He could have played against Texas, but I'm sure he didn't want to get worked over by the Texas front court.
good thing he was in there today!
JVB played a great game. Glad to have him back!
So where is that thread "detailing" how we've been playing better without JVB again? A good laugh is needed.
You're joking right? 5-9 from the field, 3-6 on 3's, 13pts, 10reb, 3asst, 2blks, 0turnovers, in 39 min is terrible!!:jimlad:
did railey play at all yesterday? box score says he played 1 min but I don't remember him getting in
He came in for the last minute of the 1st half to play some defense when we subbed The Beek out.

Rizal bared his heart in his poetry more than he did in his other writings. In many of them, he rose to great heights in patriotic ecstasy. Each was directed at vindicating his people by showing, through his own abilities, that the indios had the same intellectual and artistic capacities as the Spaniards.
As young as an eight year old, Rizal already showed precocity in writing his poems. He became known for his serious outlook in life, that was rather unusual for boys of his age. after he wrote "Sa Aking Mga Kabata" (To My Fellow Children). His mother served as his mentor when he was writing his poems. She would read poetry to him, urged him to write, corrected his verses, and made worthwhile suggestions.
Rizal's poetic maturity emerged as he expounded on nationalism not only as a sentiment, but as passion, a virtue that could be acquired and developed into a ideology that rationalized and synthesized his personal ideas and dreams. He also wrote poems with different themes, such historical and religious topics.
Poetry Facts
Rizal showed his appreciation for his mother's influence for him when he composed "Mi Primera Inspiracion" for her birthday.
Rizal was a tomasino when he put out his first-prize winning poem, "Ala Juventud Filipina".
In the beautiful East
Where rises the sun,
A Beautiful land
So full of Charms
With fetters o'erwhelms.
Alas! It's my land,
The country I love.
How sad is life
Far from her embrace!
Beyond her fields
Light or love there's naught!
The sun does not shine,
The sky is dark,
How sad if I die
Without seeing her sheen!
In the beautiful East
There rises the sun,
The land I adore
So full of charms,
In chains does moan!
'Tis dying like a slave;
Blessed be the one
Who can set her free!
"Kundiman" was included among the "documentary evidences" presented by Fiscal Don Alcocer at Rizal's trial.
Here are some of the verses.
Rizal was less grim in his poetic description of the actual plight of the Filipinos than he was in his essays and novels. Sometimes, though, he got carried away by his ardor and came out with direct indictments
Hymn to Talisay
Of, Dapitan, the sandy shore,
Rocks on the mountain's lofty peak
Are your throne, oh sacred retreat!
There my childhood days I pass.
On your vale adorned by flow'rs
'Neath the fruit trees with shady bowr's
There our mind is forced at last
'Long with our body and our soul.
Children are we, for late we're born,
But our soul with strength doth grow,
Strong men we'll be of tomorrow,
To protect our homes we'll know.
Naught can daunt us children:
Waves, nor storm, nor thunder;
With the ready arm and face serene
How to fight, we'll know, in danger.
Dapitan meant home and security, where the innate
abilities of youth began to emerge.
Our games overturn the sand;
Scour we the caves and crags;
Stand our homes on the rocks,
Reach our weapons anywhere.
There's no gloom, no jet-black night
Nor a tempest do we fear;
And if Lucifer would appear
He'll be caught dead or alive.
Talisaynon we are called,
Tiny beings with a big soul,
In Dapitan and district whole,
Can surpass Talisay, there's naught
Without equal is our tank,
Deep abyss in our jumping place,
In the world there's none can outpace
For a moment our own boat.
Problems of exact sciences,
Learn we our country's history,
Three of four languages speak we
Blending both faith and reason.
Handle our arms at a moment
Knife, the spade and the pen,
Pickaxe, sword and the gun,
All the strong man's companions.
Live, live, verdurous Talisay!
All our voices praise you high,
Priceless gem, a bright star in the sky
Infancy's doctrine and solace.
In the struggles that men expect,
To afflictions and mourning subject,
Thine mem'ry will be their amulet,
In the tomb your name, their peace.
It is not all play for the youth, for tomorrow brings serious thoughts and perilous challenges.
The youth prepare for this future by fully developing their physical and intellectual potential.
Poems and
His personal plight Rizal recorded most pathetically in one of his last poems. He composed this after being notified that he could go abroad once more in 1986. He called it "The Song of the Traveler"
He compared himself to
A dry leaf that hesitantly flies
And snatched by hurricanes away,
Thus lives on earth the traveler
Without aim, without soul,
without love nor country.
With the feeling that all his efforts had been useless, he expressed some sort of regret at the way his life had turned to be. He was much misunderstood by the people.
Happiness, everywhere he anxiously seeks
And from him that happiness flies away:
Empty shadow that mocks his eagerness!
For it rushes the traveller to the sea!
Perhaps on the desert a grave he'll find
Of tranquility a refuge sweet:
Unremembered by his country and the world
He'll rest in peace after a suffering great!
And they envy the hapless traveler
When across the earthy sphere he darts
Alas! They know that in his soul
There exists a space where love departs!
Lift up your radiant brow,
This day, Youth of my native strand!
Your abounding talents show
Resplendently and grand,
Fair hope of my Motherland!
Soar high, oh genius great,
And with noble thoughts fill their minds;
The honor's glorious seat,
May their virgin mind fly and find
More rapidly than the wind.
" A la Juventud Filipina"
Without Religion, human Education
Is like a ship buffeted by the wind
That loses her rudder in horrible combat
To the thundering impact and jolt
Of the terrible tempestuous North wind
That fiercely battles her
Until it haughtily sinks her
In the abyss of the angry sea.
"The Intimate Alliance Between Religion and Good Education"
Wise education, vital breath
Inspires an enchanting virtue;
She puts the Country in the lofty seat
Of endless glory, of dazzling glow,
And just as the gentle aura's puff
Do brighten the perfumed flower's hue:
So education with a wise, guiding hand,
A benefactress, exalts the human band.
Where wise education raises a throne
Sprightly youth are invigorated,
Who with firm stand error they subdue
And with noble ideas are exalted;
It breaks immortality's neck,
Contemptible crime before it is halted:
It humbles barbarous nations
And it makes of savages champions.
"Education Gives Luster to Motherland"
That goddess of garnered ages that sows
For flowers of virtue perennial seeds,
As upward dispensing her light she goes,
Handfast the fatherland, too, she leads.
The breath of her quickening summons she blows
Like winds that bear life to the blossomless meads,
And Wisdom along her pathway uprisings
And Hope is revived in new bourgeonings.
The lighthouse stands on the eternal rock
By the storm-harried seas oft beaten and battered;
The hurricane bellows, the mad waves shock-
On its surface walls they rise and are shattered,
Till ocean dives back his disorderly flock
By their futile assailings affrighted and scattered.
So with this goddess it is, whose light
Cannot dim through the stormiest night.
" To Education" (A la Educacion)
Hail! Hail! Praise to labour,
Of the country wealth and vigor!
For it brow serene's exalted,
It's her blood, life, and ardor.
If some youth would show his love
Labor his faith will sustain :
Only a man who struggles and works
Will his offspring know to maintain.
Teach, us ye the laborious work
To pursue your footsteps we wish,
For tomorrow when country calls us
We may be able your task to finish.
And on seeing us the elders will say :
"Look, they're worthy 'f their sires of yore!"
Incense does not honor the dead
As does a son with glory and valor
For the Motherland in war,
For the Motherland in peace,
Will the Filipino keep watch,
He will live until life will cease!
Now the East is glowing with light,
Go! To the field to till the land,
For the labour of man sustains
Fam'ly, home and Motherland.
Hard the land may turn to be,
Scorching the rays of the sun above...
For the country, wife and children
All will be easy to our love.
Go to work with spirits high,
For the wife keeps home faithfully,
Inculcates love in her children
For virtue, knowledge and country.
When the evening brings repose,
On returning joy awaits you,
And if fate is adverse, the wife,
Shall know the task to continue.

Because by its language one can judge
A town, a barrio, and kingdom;
And like any other created thing
Every human being loves his freedom.
One who doesn't love his native tongue
Is worse than putrid fish and beast
And like a truly precious thing
It therefore deserves to be cherished.
Pagkat ang salita'y isang kahatulan
Sa bayan, sa nayo't mga kaharian,
At ang isang tao'y katulad, kabagay
Ng alin mga likha noong kalayaan.
Ang hindi magmahal sa kanyang salita
Mahigit sa hayop at malansang isda,
Kaya ang marapat pagyamaning kusa
Ng tulad sa isang tunay na nagpala.
"Sa Aking Mga Kababata" (To My Fellow Children)
Two Autobiographical Poems
"My Retreat"
My Last Farewell
Rizal's poetic masterpieces, according to several literacy critics, were "My Retreat", a poem about his life in exile in Dapitan, and his last poem which was subsequently given the title of "My Farewell" by those who published it after its author's death.
Said to be more intense compared to "My Retreat"
because the patriotism and selflessness most moving, perhaps because it was written in a prison cell towards the final hour of death. Composes of 70 lines. It was the last poem of Rizal, and it was originally untitled; found scribbled on a sheet ingeniously inserted by Rizal in the alcohol burner and given to Trinidad.
Rizal's life in Dapitan was a welcome respite, a
sanctuary from political activity and involvement. It was a retreat in a military sense, for Rizal did "go back" during those four years of exile-- to recall and evaluate the bulk and worth of all his earlier efforts at redeeming his people from their exploiters and from their ignorance and indolence.
In the spiritual sense, it was also a retreat, an examination of the past life in order to better face
and more fully live the future years.
In the first stanza, Rizal states the reasons for his choice of a house far from men and from the troubles they caused him, and expresses his love of nature.
Beside the wide expanse of fine and sandy shore
And at the foot of the green covered mountain
I built my hut in the grove's delightful core,
To seek in the woodlands tranquility serene,
Repose for my mind and from my griefs refrain
From this point, Rizal takes his enthralled reader to his plain hut, to the brook which provides a cool atmosphere all around and bids him look at the sky that controlled the serenity or turbulence of the brook as if flowed or roared foaming to the sea, and for Rizal, the sea meant more than just a body of water. It reflects the universe lit up at night.
The sea's everything! Its dominant domain
Brings to me the atoms of being far away;
Its smile, like a limpid morn, enlivens me,
And when in the afternoon my hope proves vain,
The Heart finds reflection in its melancholy.
Its lucid sphere
Is overspread with thousands of light,
A refreshing zephyr wanders, then heavens flare,
The waves in their sighs tell the soft blowing air
Of stories that were lost in the past's dark night.
It symbolized his immense sorrow. The sea collected raindrops that formed the brook and the spring, it was the repository of events that happened to him, as well as to everybody else, from the beginning of time. For the sea had been there all along. As a poet, Rizal "communicated" with the sea.
The sea would not let him forget the people and events of the earlier years.
I live with the mem'ries of those I have loved before,
And their names by others uttered now and then I hear:
But, what does it matter? I live with the thoughts of yore
And no one can wrest from me the yesteryear.
It is my faithful friend which hurts me ne'er
Which when it sees me and always consoles my soul,
Which in my sleepless night watches me with pray'r
With me, and in my exile dwells in my sylvan lair,
It alone infuses me with faith when I'm doubted by all
Even as he became sentimental, Rizal expressed optimism about the immediate future of the country: peace would come after all battles.
I have it, and one day I await, would shine
When o'er brutal force Idea would prevail,
That after the struggle and the ling'ring travail,
Another voice more son'rous, happier than mine
Shall know then how to sing the triumphant hymn
About his personal future, as dictated.
But he was not so hopeful by his unhappy experiences. After recollecting the awakening of his love of nature, his betrothral, his voyage to seek delights in the other lands, his decision to come home, to bring and end to "my brightest days spent" abroad, what awaited him in the motherland? His Writings were banned, his family's property confiscated. He was imprisoned without trial, prior to the exile in Dapitan. Even his country seemed to condole with his personal misfortunes.
And like a weary swallow. I wished later
To return to the nest of my love and my parent's home
Unexpectedly roared a windstorm so severe:
My wings were broken, in ruins was my dome,
Trust sold to others, destruction everywhere.
Cast upon a rock of my adored country,
Without a home, poor in health and doomed my future,
My golden, roseate dreams, come again to me,
Of my whole existence my only wealth and treasure,
The beliefs of a youth so vigorous and hearty.
You're not as you were before, full of fire and grace,
That toast a thousand crowns to immortality;
I find you somewhat serious; but your darling face,
If it's not so bright, if hues have faded away,
On the other hand, has the mark of fidelity.
Make the "blood of the young heart seethe with passion".
Rizal had to stress how lovely the nature was, because he could not portray the goodness in life, which was apparently absent to him. The poem concludes with the following lines.
Beside the wide expanse of fine and sandy shore
And at the foot of the green covered mountain
I found in my land an abode in the sylvan core,
And 'neath its shady woods, quietness serene,
Repose for my mind and from my griefs refrain.
Land that I love: farewell: O land the sun loves:
Pearl of the sea of the Orient: Eden lost to your brood!
Gaily go I to present you this hapless hopeless life;
Were it more brilliant: had it more freshness, more bloom:
Still for you would I give it: would give it for your good!
In barricades embattled, fighting in delirium,
Others give you their lives without doubts, without gloom.
The site nought matters: cypress, laurel or lily:
Gibbet or open field: combat or cruel martyrdom
Are equal if demanded by country and home.
I am to die when I see the heavens go vivid,
announcing the day at last behind the dead night.
If you need color – color to stain that dawn with,
Let spill my blood: scatter it in good hour:
And drench in its gold one beam of the newborn light.
My dream when a lad, when scarcely adolescent:
My dreams when a young man, now with vigor inflamed:
Were to behold you one day: Jewel of eastern waters:
Griefless the dusky eyes: lofty the upright brow:
Unclouded, unfurrowed, unblemished and unashamed!
Enchantment of my life: my ardent avid obsession:
To your health! Cries the soul, so soon to take the last leap:
To your health! O lovely: how lovely: to fall that you may rise!
To perish that you may live! To die beneath your skies!
And upon your enchanted ground the eternities to sleep!
Should you find some day somewhere on my gravemound, fluttering
Among tall grasses, a flower of simple fame:
Caress it with your lips and you kiss my soul:
I shall feel on my face across the cold tombstone:
Of your tenderness, the breath; of your breath, the flame.
Suffer the moon to keep watch, tranquil and suave, over me:
Suffer the dawn its flying lights to release:
Suffer the wind to lament in murmurous and grave manner:
And should a bird drift down and alight on my cross,
Suffer the bird to intone its canticle of peace.
Suffer the rains to dissolve in the fiery sunlight
And purified reascending heavenward bear my cause:
Suffer a friend to grieve I perished so soon:
And on fine evenings, when prays in my memory,
Pray also – O my land! – that in God I repose.
Pray for all who have fallen befriended by not fate:
For all who braved the bearing of torments all bearing past:
To our poor mothers piteously breathing in bitterness:
For widows and orphans: for those in tortured captivity
And yourself: pray to behold your redemption at last.
And when in dark night shrouded obscurely the graveyard lies
And only, only the dead keep vigil the night through:
Keep holy the place: keep holy the mystery.
Strains, perhaps, you will hear – of zither, or of psalter:
It is I – O land I love! – it is I, singing to you!
And when my grave is wholly unremembered
And unlocated (no cross upon it, no stone there plain):
Let the site be wracked by the plow and cracked by the spade
And let my ashes, before they vanish to nothing,
As dust be formed a part of your carpet again.
Nothing then will it matter to place me in oblivion!
Across your air, your space, your valleys shall pass my wraith!
A pure chord, strong and resonant, shall I be in your ears:
Fragrance, light and color: whispers, lyric and sigh:
Constantly repeating the essence of my faith!
Land that I idolized: prime sorrow among my sorrows:
Beloved Filipinas, hear me the farewell word:
I bequeath you everything – my family, my affections:
I go where no slaves are – nor butchers: nor oppressors:
Where faith cannot kill: where God's the sovereign lord!
Farewell, my parents, my brothers – fragments of my soul:
Friends of old and playmates in childhood's vanished house:
Offer thanks that I rest from the restless day!
Farewell, sweet foreigner – my darling, my delight!
Creatures I love, farewell! To die is to repose.
This poem offers a moving spectacle of a man who conquers himself. The face of death, "his noble and Christian soul raises neither complaints nor curses, nor even ardent protests of innocence; his heart does not distill gall or rancor; he did not want undoubtedly to profance his last moments with any passion, but he sanctified and saturated them with love, with love for his motherland, for his own people

Will I Get Pregnant If I Had Sex 5 6 Days B4 Fertile Days
im realy getting paranoid.. Im 21. pls do tel me if i can possibly get pregnant if i had my last period on nov 3,2011, we had s_x on nov 11.. im in a 30 days cycle.. Based on ovulation calculator, my fertile day wud start on nov.16, .. Nov 19 will be ovulation day.. can i be pregnant? Pls do answer me. Thanks in advance...
You should be OK. Your calculator seems to be giving you the days best for intercourse if you WANT to get pregnant. If you want to avoid pregnancy you should add a couple of days before ovulation and one day after - thus Nov 14 ..Nov 20. Ovulation can be a couple of days earlier or later than calculated, sperm can last as much as five days inside you. Bottom line, on a 30 day caycle, Nov 11 should have been at least a couple of days outside the fertile window.
Thanks for that but im a bit confused... He pulled it out before ejaculating.. but then they say pre c_m can get me pregnant... (well i dont really want to get pregnant, and its my first time honestly...) I want to understand if those small amount of sperm can stay inside and can they possibly meet until the ovulation? in short? will i get pregnant with my case and with those calculated stuffs?? am i pregnant??? whew....
You should be OK. There are no guarantees in life, but pregnancy is very unlikely from this incident. Pure pre-c_m contains no sperm - it comes from a different gland. If foreplay has gone on for a long time and your guy has almost c_m and then backed off, some sperm may be present. You are old enough to get proper protection for a s_xually active life. See if Planned Parenthood has a clinic near you - dial 1-800-230-PLAN - they will give you a check-up, advice, and supplies at a very reasonable price. GL!

text: Dealing with 10-15 overnights and 20s during the day in my area. I just can't get the 30 to keep up. It seems the biggest problem is coaling levels that result from overfeeding. I miss my old Defiant and have been searching for another for weeks now. The 30 is eating just as much wood in these temps as the VC did, but does not put out nearly the amount of heat. I wanted to keep the Defiant to swap out the stoves when the real cold temps came to roost, but sold it when I got tired of moving it from here to there. The house is a Cape and the sq ft is well under the 2200 that the 30 is rated for. I am also watching for a f600 or 5700 to combat this scenario. Cold won't last forever, so we will just keep baking foods to help the temps.

Making Donors Matter More
I was asked after a recent Matterness webinar for Wild Apricot about fun and meaningful ways to thank donors.
Great question!
I wrote a few answers for Wild Apricot, but wanted to expand on the issue of thanking donors here. Organizations spend enormous amounts of time and resources identifying new donors for their efforts. One reason why they have to spend so much energy is because so few people give a second time. According to Penelope Burke's excellent annual survey of donors, 65% of first-time donors don't give again to the same cause. That's a lot of lost people! And given that it is so easy to give once online to a cause that moves someone in an instant and that Millennials are more loyal to causes than institutions, this number is likely to increase not decrease.
Thank yous are a large part of the Churn inside organizations. A task to be kept up with, like opening the mail and answering email, rather than an opportunity to a transaction into a relationship. Thanking people with a form letter meant for the IRS just isn't going to do it anymore. Or worse, thanking someone with a robotic reply that includes another ask for money ain't gonna cut it.
Donors need to immediately feel like they sincerely matter to an organization, that they are more than a number on a check, that they have a name and a face and a story. And organizations have to reciprocate by revealing their own personalities and stories to donors as well.
I want to start a dynamic list of fun and interesting ways to thank people that will make them feel like they matter more (indeed that they actually do matter more!) and that will make them more likely to stick with the company/organization longer.
Here's a start, please add to it:
- Handwritten Thank You. Sound old fashioned? Well, it is, but it's also enormously effective! Of course, many organizational leaders will dismiss this idea as impractical ("Who has the time or manpower?") And that's where Matterness come in! By switching to an abundance lens, these leaders will see that there are lots of people who are willing to write notes who aren't staff. This is a perfect example of a task that can be spread out and make volunteers feel like they matter more — including board members! Make a Google doc of donors and ask a group of volunteers to sign up to write notes by a certain date to them (and you can give them sample language) The doc will make everyone accountable to each other. I guarantee that the volunteers will enjoy their meaningful job and the donors will feel great about their donation and the organization (real people live inside this cause!)
- Invite Donors to an Intimate Social Event. This is from a great list of thank you ideas from Kivi Leroux Miller. Move people immediately from online to on land by including an invitation with the thank you to an in person event. It can be as simple as a casual lunch at someone's office to learn more or a cocktail party at a board member's house. A causal, social event where the donor can learn more about the cause and get to know other people who are giving to it and working for it.
- Crowdsource Thanks. Lisa Colton shared this really fun story with me. The Band Death Cab for Cutie had a new album coming out. As a fun gesture for their most loyal fans, they wrote out the lyrics to one song and a big canvas, cut it up and mailed the pieces to fans. They asked the fans to take a photo of their piece and post it on Instagram. When all the pieces were put together, their fans got a sneak preview of the lyrics, plus the "super fans" had their original pieces as keepsakes. This could be such a fun way to thank donors or volunteers. Imagine painting a big thank you note signed by the whole staff, then cutting it into pieces and mailing it to a group of people and asking them to upload the pics.
- Celebrate Small Donors. We need to even out the over-celebration of the 6 figure gift givers. We have all see the plaques in stores celebrating the Employee of the Month. Why not celebrate small donors of the month? And better, let them tell their own story about why they gave on your blog or Facebook page (or anywhere else!) Donors need to "see" people who look like them and give like them in order to keep giving.
- YouTube a Thanks. I was in Des Moines, IA a few years ago when the local credit union was opening a new branch. In order to entice people to stop by, they gave gift cards to people around town and posted videos this fun interaction. Organizations could visit a few donors and give them a handwritten thanks, or a small gift, for their donation and post the video. It will be fun and heartfelt – two things that can never be a bad thing!
People are not expecting extravagant thanks for their donations and efforts, in fact, many people don't want them, but they do expect to be genuinely appreciated.
So, what fun ways have you tried, or would you like to try, to show your people that they really do matter to you?
