A good relationship will always have some give and take and both sides are willing to compromise in order to please the other.
But some relationships are so unfair that one side is dominant and rarely if ever compromises while the other keeps giving in. The result is that the dominant person is able to, and does, take advantage of the passive person. Under such circumstances, the passive person is not a partner in a relationship but instead is more like a CAPTIVE and feels TRAPPED. For this reason, the Magi Society refers to such relationships as CAPTIVATIONS.
A captivation is a relationship between two persons where one person gets his or her way the vast majority of the time. One person is the captive and feels trapped while the other is the TRAPPER and feels free to do whatever he or she wants.
We see examples of captivations all the time. A famous example of one is the captivation of Britney Spears by Kevin Federline.
To the surprise of many of her fans, superstar Britney Spears married her unknown backup dancer Kevin Federline on September 18, 2004. After two short years of a very unhappy marriage, just a few weeks ago, Britney Spears filed legal papers to divorce Kevin Federline. Almost no one except Federline was surprised. The only surprise to most was that the marriage lasted as long as it did.
In fact, some tabloids began predicting Britney would divorce Federline almost immediately after they got married. These tabloids pointed out that Britney was a superstar while Federline was an unknown with no real talent and he wasn't even really cute. No one, including Spears and Federline, seemed to offer any good reasons why Britney ever married Federline in the first place.
During their marriage, the tabloids were regularly ablaze with headlines about how Federline was taking advantage of Britney. Just a little over a month ago, Federline was whooping it up in Las Vegas spending Britney's money while she was home taking care of their two babies. In fact, during their entire two-year marriage, Federline was always using Britney's credit cards to enjoy nightlife by himself at hot spots in South Beach, Santa Monica, New York, even Europe, while Britney seemed clueless at home taking care of first one baby then two babies.
So everyone wants to know – How did Federline trap Britney Spears into a captivation? What in the world did Britney see in Federline?
The answers are always in the stars!
But only Magi Astrology can read the answers!
Captivations and personal entrapment is a very common problem. Captivations occur not just in romance but also in employment and all forms of human affairs.
For example, an employee can be trapped by a company or a job and work like a dog without getting enough pay or credit – you need the job but cannot stand it and cannot get ahead. This is a common form of captivation – the Magi Society calls it JOB ENTRAPMENT.
Another example is when two persons are "friends" but one person gets all the benefits while the other does most of the work and lays out most of the money. This also occurs too much and we call it personal entrapment.
Here is a much less obvious example – when a person has a credit card and cannot seem to stop using it even though the person cannot afford to spend any more money, then that too is a form of personal entrapment. The credit card company has trapped the cardholder.
What are the astrological reasons for captivations and entrapments?
Traditional Astrology certainly does not know the answers to such questions.
Captivations and entrapments are just more examples of the many situations that Traditional Astrology cannot help us with. But even worse, Traditional Astrology is actually harmful because it misleads us. If we use Traditional Astrology to try to help us in such matters, we would into all kinds of trouble.
On the other hand, Magi Astrology not only helps us to understand captivations and entrapments, we can also use Magi Astrology to overcome anyone and anything that has trapped us – Magi Astrology will set us free.
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline is a good example of everything we are talking about.
Why did Britney fall for Federline and how could Federline have gotten away with his shenanigans for so long? How could Kevin Federline entrap Britney and have so much control over her?
Magi Astrology has the answers!
That explanation can only be understood through a special concept of Magi Astrology that we call the SATURN BOND.
In Magi Astrology, a Saturn Bond occurs in a CAC when one person's Saturn forms a trine, conjunction or parallel to the other person's Chiron, Venus, Neptune, Jupiter or Sun.
One of the results of a Saturn Bond is that the person who contributes the Saturn (called the Saturn Person) has a great deal of control over the other person (called the Passive Person).
Traditional Astrologers have long noticed that Saturn Bonds exist in many couples who stay together for very long times. Because of this fact, Traditional Astrologers have interpreted Saturn Bonds as being helpful to have in a relationship and that they help keep two persons together. But Traditional Astrology has missed the most important characteristic about Saturn Bonds which is that the Saturn Person has the upper hand in the relationship and can take advantage of the Passive Person.
A Saturn Bond creates an unequal relationship where the Saturn Person is in the driver's seat and the Passive Person is a less than equal partner and can feel like he or she is trapped in the relationship but does not know how to get out.
Traditional Astrology is wrong in its belief that Saturn Bonds mutually keep two persons together. The truth is Saturn Bonds do not work mutually – instead Saturn Bonds tie the Passive Person to the Saturn Person but the Saturn Person feels free to do whatever he or she wants and does not feel bond to the Passive Person and can walk away from the relationship.
To summarize, when a CAC has s a Saturn Bond, the Saturn Person is the Trapper and the Passive Person is the Captive.
Kevin Federline and Britney Spears are a perfect example of all this.
Below is a CAC of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline that highlights the fact they form two Saturn Bonds and in both bonds, Federline is the Trapper and Britney is the Captive.
In the CAC below, the black planets represent the positions of the planets when Spears was born and the red planets represent the positions of the planets when Federline was born.
The position of Kevin's natal Saturn (red Saturn located at 24.7 degrees Leo) forms two Saturn Bonds and in both cases, Federline is the Saturn Person; this means Federline is the Trapper and Britney is the Captive. The two Saturn Bonds are:
Federline's natal Saturn is parallel to Britney's natal Chiron
Federline's natal Saturn is trine to Britney's natal Neptune
Whenever two persons form a CAC that has any Saturn Bond, the Saturn Person has significant control over the Passive Person and the Saturn Person becomes the Trapper while the Passive Person becomes the Captive.
In the case of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, Federline is the Saturn Person TWO TIMES – Federline is the Saturn Person of both Saturn Bonds. This means Federline had double control over Britney.
This is the main astrology reason that Kevin Federline had enormous influence over Britney Spears.
[The Magi Society is proud to have the world's best interpretations upgrades for our Members Only Software. For example, our interpretation upgrades explain that the Saturn-Neptune trine acts like a "ball and chain" where the Saturn Person has "an unusual level of control" over the Passive Person in all ways.]
On this website, we have given you several other famous examples of the power of Saturn Bonds and how much harm it can do. Do you remember the case of the married Congressman Gary Condit and his mistress Chandra Levy? Condit had so much control over Levy that she was not allowed to ever call him directly but would call an answering machine set up just for leaving each other messages – click here to read about Chandra Levy and Gary Condit).
Saturn Clashes represent another class of interaspect that creates entrapment.
A Saturn Clash is different from a Saturn Bond.
As we just explained, in Magi Astrology, a Saturn Bond occurs in a CAC when one person's Saturn forms a trine, conjunction or parallel to the other person's Chiron, Venus, Neptune, Jupiter or Sun.
But a Saturn Clash exists in a CAC when one person's Saturn is square, opposed, quincunx or contra-parallel to any natal planet of the other person.
Like the Saturn Bond, in a Saturn Clash, the person who contributes the Saturn is the Saturn Person and the other person is the Passive Person and the Saturn Person has a degree of control over the Passive Person.
But in the case of a Saturn Clash, the degree of control is higher. Even worse, the likelihood that the Saturn Person will use this control selfishly and ultimately hurt the Passive person is intolerably high. In the case of the Heartbreak Clash and the Nuclear Clash, the likelihood of harm is so high that whenever anyone is the Passive Person in a CAC with either of these Saturn Clashes, we always recommend avoiding the relationship altogether.
Besides the Heartbreak Clash and the Nuclear Clash, the worst Saturn Clashes are Saturn Clashes made to Neptune, Venus and Sun. (This is logical because Neptune and Venus are Romance Planets and the Sun represents the person.) These three Saturn Clashes are Bitter Saturn Clashes.
Kevin Federline and Britney Spears form a Bitter Saturn Clash and once again, Kevin is the Saturn Person. Kevin's Saturn is quincunx to Britney's Venus.
So Federline had enormous control over Britney and he took advantage of it.
Saturn Bonds and Clashes are unique tools of Magi Astrology. There is nothing like them in Traditional Astrology.
As we said before, Traditional Astrology is not only clueless about Saturn Bonds and Clashes, it is also misleading about them. Traditional Astrology claims that when two persons form any Saturn interaspect, then the Saturn person is the "teacher in the relationship."
Once again, Traditional Astrology is absurdly wrong here. Kevin Federline did not teach Britney Spears anything -- except that he is a selfish bum. Britney should have figured that out right from the start – everyone else knew it.
Please do not believe this "teacher" nonsense that Traditional Astrology claims about Saturn interaspects. The fact is Saturn interaspects are astrological signs of problems that will haunt any relationship.
In the case of Kevin Federline and Britney Spears, they form three Saturn interaspects and in all three of them, Federline is the Saturn Person. This is an example of a One-Sided Captivation.
But there is another condition that we should discuss.
Quite often, the CAC of a couple will have two Saturn Bonds where one person is the Saturn Person of one Saturn Bond, while the other person is the Saturn Person of the other Saturn Bond. Magi Astrology refers to this condition as SATURN BALANCE because there is balance between the two persons – both persons are the Captive and the Trapper and under such circumstances, neither person has the upper hand in the relationship and each has some power over the other but neither is dominant. When there is Saturn Balance, we do not consider the relationship to be a One-Sided Captivation because it is not one-sided. But it is still a Captivation; we call such conditions a Mutual Captivation.
Depending on the level of love between the two persons and depending on how wise both people are, when a couple has Saturn Balance, the balance can at times help to keep the two persons together. But the character of the binding energy is not romantic because there is absolutely nothing romantic about Saturn. That's why we call them Mutual Captivations with the emphasis on "captivation." Although we do not warn you against having a relationship with Saturn Balance, we also advise that if you have a choice, you should avoid them.
As we have always advised:
When you analyze any CAC, please remember to always take into account all the interaspects and Planetary Geometry that is formed. As we have always said, every interaspect has an influence and none of them cancel each other out.
This is another very important rule of Magi Astrology.
Every interaspect has an influence and no two interaspects ever cancel each other out. In other words, if two persons have both the Magical Linkage (Venus and Chiron at a Magical Angle) and the Nuclear Clash, their relationship will always be influenced by both of these very powerful interaspects. They will be romantically attracted to each other and at the same time have a turbulent relationship.
At first glance, this may seem that it is very complicated to analyze a relationship by using Magi Astrology. But we look at it this way:
There are many facets to every human relationship. Every relationship is a mosaic of many characteristics. Every relationship, especially those that involve love, is complex. For example, you love him but you don't always like him; at times he treats you great and at times he is a rat; you know he loves you but he still will not commit and it drives you nuts; he sometimes reads your soul and fulfills your every need but sometimes he is oblivious like he is on another planet; you have the best of times and also you have the worst of times together; some times are so exhilarating you are sure you are in heaven but other times are so depressing you cannot stand it.
You know what we mean. Life it not simple. Relationships are not simple.
So if life is not simple, how can a simple form of astrology understand it?
Since life is not simple, why should we ever use an astrology that is too simple?
That is one of the many problems of Traditional Astrology – Traditional Astrology is so simple it cannot possibly work on anything that is not simple such as real life.
Life and love cannot be understood with simple catchall phrases about just twelve signs of the zodiac. There are an infinite variety of personalities and unlimited variations of relationships. In order for any form of astrology to actually work, it must have the depth necessary to explain all the infinite possibilities that exist in real life. But Traditional Astrology is shallow and has no depth – it is overly simple. The puny tools of Traditional Astrology are no match for the complications of real life situations so Traditional Astrology has never really worked. Deep down, every Traditional Astrologer knows this but cannot admit it.
If you look at astrology websites devoted to Traditional Astrology, they present you with vague analyses and very few examples. They have so few examples because they cannot find enough examples to back up their astrology – that is because their astrology does not work.
On the other hand, Magi Society websites already now have well over a hundred famous examples of how to use Magi Astrology to understand the lives of celebrities.
And we keep adding more examples as news about celebrities come up. We can do this because Magi Astrology Really Works! Magi Astrology is the only form of astrology that gives us the ability to understand all and any relationships.
We have explained the main astrological reason why Kevin Federline was able to take advantage of Britney Spears – it is because he was the Saturn Person of three Saturn Bonds/Clashes, making him the Trapper and Britney the Captive.
Saturn Bonds will bind the captive person to the trapper.
There in another way one person can be bonded to another person and fortunately, this other bonding is more palatable. It is LUST. Lust is second way a person can feel bond to another person.
But in the case of lust, the result of the bonding does not by itself create captivity; it merely creates a bond. Even better, bonds of lust are usually mutual in nature so generally speaking; neither person has the upper hand. For this reason, we refer to this as a Lust Bond or Sex Bond and these bonds are not captivities but rather they are more like "ties or connections" – but the best word to describe it is "bond." Both persons in a Lust Bond will feel bonded to each other.
Magi Astrology understands the astrology of Lust Bonds. According to Magi Astrology, two persons can be tied together in a Lust Bond if they form more than one Juno Sexual Linkage.
A Juno Sexual Linkage is formed in two ways:
· A linkage between one person's natal Juno and any other person's natal Sexual Planet (Venus, Mars, Pluto and Juno are Sexual Planets)
· Or a linkage between one person's natal Juno and any other person's Romance Planet (Venus, Neptune and Chiron are Romance Planets).
The two most powerful Juno Sexual Linkages are the Juno-Venus linkage and the Juno-Chiron linkage. They are so powerful that we gave them special names. They Juno-Venus linkage is the Ultimate Sexual Linkage and the Juno-Chiron linkage is the Lifetime Sexual Linkage. We have discussed these two special linkages before. Both of them are so powerful that if two persons form just one of them, and the two persons are "each other's type" (meaning someone they would normally be physically attracted to) then the two persons would be just about irresistibly sexually attracted to each other.
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline form both the Ultimate Sexual Linkage and the Lifetime Sexual Linkage. (No wonder Kevin was always bragging about how "hot" they were together.)
When we use Magi Society software, we can create a CAC and easily see Sexual Linkages. In the CAC below, the black planets represent the positions of the planets when Spears was born and the red planets represent the positions of the planets when Federline was born.
In the above CAC, please take notice of the fact that Federline and Spears form so many sexual linkages we could not show them all without clogging up the whole chart. (We could not draw in the Venus-Mars contra-parallel sexual linkage without making the chart look overly crowded.)
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline form six separate Sexual Linkages, including the Ultimate Sexual Linkage and the Lifetime Sexual Linkage, and they also formed two Sexual Vortices (a Sexual Vortex is when three Sexual Planets all make interaspects to each other).
Obviously, Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were in LUST and had great sex.
They also formed one Romance Linkage; the single Romance Linkage was overshadowed by all the Sexual Linkages and the Saturn Bonds, but the Romance Linkage was just enough to make them think they were in love.
So now we pretty much get the whole picture of the Spears-Federline relationship.
Magi Astrology fully explains why Britney Spears was so irresistibly attracted to Kevin Federline even though just about no one understood why. We also now know why they thought they were in love, but they were not really. And most importantly, we know the reason why Federline was able to take advantage of Britney Spears for so long.
Earlier we said that a relationship between two persons is never simple, but has many facets and is more like a mosaic. We just gave you an example of how Magi Astrology can help you to understand the most important characteristics of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, one of the most famous relationships in America. Traditional Astrology (the type of astrology you read about in horoscope columns) is far too simplistic to ever be able to help you understand the Spears-Federline relationship, or any relationship.
Magi Astrology can help you dramatically improve your life and save you from disaster. If Britney Spears had used Magi Astrology, she would have known that Federline would have too much control over her and she could have acted accordingly and avoided her disastrous marriage.

ACME: Picked up the call from consumers who want a product that meets their expectations but aren't ready to break the bank. Their entry-level gear is the new industry standard that delivers real performance at the right price.
Don't be fooled: Not all RGB strips are built the same. Unlike competing brands that have resistors and other voltage-regulating devices soldered to the strip itself, the ACME uses an external voltage regulator. This keeps the LED's running at their prime while improving reliability. If the driver fails, it can be replaced without taking apart your headlight. If a resistor on another brands' strip fails, you're out of luck.
Construction: 5050 SMD LED chips are soldered to a flexible but stable circuit board, making them easy to install across the geometry in almost any automotive headlight.
Wiring Ready: With over 3 feet of input wiring and their inline voltage regulators, the ACME Super Flex strips are very easy to setup with any 4-pin RGB Controller such as the optional ACME M7.
Sizing: ACME does not recommend cutting the strips because the remaining LEDs would then be over-powered by the power driver. Luckily, they are offered in two lengths to fit most every purpose (3" or 16")
Trusted: For more than a decade, we've worked hard to earn our killer reputation. Car guys world-wide know that TRS carries the internet's best selection of high performance automotive and powersport lighting products at the best prices, and we've got the best, most knowledgeable team of real enthusiasts to help back it up. If we sell it, then you bet we've put it to the test on our own cars, trucks, and bikes. Need a recommendation on parts for your project? Got a tech question? Wholesale inquiry? Contact Us
LED STRIPS: 2x ACME Super Flex (RGB)
LED DRIVERS: 2x ACME Inline Regulators
NOTE: Will need Controller
RETROFITS: Any straight surfaces within size range
FACTORY HEADLIGHTS: Any straight surfaces within size range
OTHER USES: Not to be used external of a sealed housing
NOTE: Does not flex laterally
Length: Should not be modified/cut
INPUT: Must use 4-pin RGB Controller
WIDTH: 4mm
THICKNESS: 3mm

Complex carbs are broken down into glucose more slowly than simple carbohydrates and thus provide a gradual steady stream of energy throughout the day. As an example, begin by adding 1 slice of wholegrain bread to your lunch and ½ cup of prepared brown rice to your dinner. Don't forget to take your CortiSlim Original and CortiSlim Burn supplements as part of the CortiSLIM Lifestyle of stress management, healthy eating, regular exercise and supplementation.

Boy, did we eat well on Hawaii Island during my family's spring-break vacation in March. Lots of seafood, fresh produce, delicious homemade bread, creamy ice cream and foofy cocktails (mocktails for the kiddos). We hit some of the best family restaurants on "the Big Island" — in our opinion anyway. We bypassed our hotels' pricier eateries for some locals' favorites and highly rated spots we found by searching TripAdvisor, and we were delighted with our choices. This is where I'd recommend you take your own family while vacationing on the Big Island:
Jackie Rey's Ohana Grill: From Lilo & Stitch: "Ohana means family!" Indeed, kids are welcome at this brightly colored restaurant in Kailua-Kona (look for the vintage Mercedes island wagon parked outside). Its inland location isn't anything special, but once inside, you can't help but smile at the upbeat hues that color the walls, such as fire-engine red, butternut yellow and lime green. Vintage Hawaii posters also add to the festive scene. Paper covers the tables and crayons are on hand.
The menu is vast; it's "continental cuisine with island flair." Everything from salads and sandwiches to seafood and steaks. Lots of tasty pupus for sharing, and a "keiki" menu for children with a burger, Hawaiian BBQ pork, buttered pasta, chicken fingers and grilled chicken. Jackie Rey's is named after the proprietors' daughter, and indeed, they know what makes kids happy!
Kona Brewing Company: In the heart of Kailua-Kona, this brewpub turns out some amazing food and incredible beer. These folks make the delicious Longboard Lager, citrusy Wailua Wheat and rich Koko Brown brews — so good! I'm a big fan of taking the kids to brewpubs, namely because the casual menu is typically so kid-friendly, with plentiful burgers, sandwiches, fries and nachos.
When my family visited this pub — with a fabulous outdoor patio offering plenty of shade — I thoroughly enjoyed my big Mauna Loa Spinach Salad, with toasted macadamia nuts and goat cheese. My daughter went for the equally good Strawberry Spinach Salad with gorgonzola and strawberry vinaigrette dressing. My son devoured an Imu Pork sandwich; my husband, Uncle's Fish Tacos.
The keiki menu includes pig in a blanket, chicken tenders, quesadilla or a slice of pizza, all served with fresh fruit and a soda or fruit punch for $7 each. To beat the crowds at this popular spot, arrive early for lunch (prior to noon) or dinner (5:30 p.m.)
Huggo's On the Rocks: Not to be confused with Huggo's fine-dining restaurant next door, Huggo's On the Rocks (a sister restaurant) is decidedly casual, with beach chairs in the sand, and a funky outdoor bar strung featuring an outrigger canoe suspended above it and decorated with Christmas lights. With frequent live music, this outdoor spot on the water's edge definitely has a festive feel. We very much enjoyed the musicians and hula dancers who performed while we ate fish tacos, beef sliders and a veggie panini. Our $14.95 dessert — the Hualalai Ice Cream Pie, meant to be split — was a huge hit with the kids!
Fish Hopper: This restaurant enjoys an enviable location in the heart of Kailua-Kona across the street from the bay; it's a great place to watch the sunset, if you can nab one of the "window" tables (it's open air, so you'll enjoy the fresh breeze). Fresh seafood and steaks, ribs and poultry dishes, plus a number of pasta entrees are on the menu here. The mashed purple potatoes are dee-licious! My daughter was particularly fond of the coconut shrimp. The keiki menu features such options as kid-sized pizza, quesadilla, chicken fingers, fish & chips, hot dog or hamburger — all served with fries or fruit and a soft drink for only $5 each.
Ken's House of Pancakes: While we spent the bulk of our time on the Kona side of Hawaii Island, we did get over to Hilo to embark on a (fun!) helicopter ride and to visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park — two excursions I highly recommend. When you go, you also want to make time for a meal at Ken's House of Pancakes. This old-fashioned diner (orange vinyl seats!) has one of the biggest menus I've ever encountered, and it serves hearty breakfast all day. In fact, the entire menu — pancakes, omelets, fish, steak, ribs, tacos, loco moco, burgers, sandwiches and more — is available 24 hours a day!
Visit this restaurant hungry, as portions are big; and just try to save room for "Ken's Famous Macadamia Nut Pie" for dessert (we didn't). I love that the Keiki Korner of the menu says it's for "ages 1 to 101" — so if you do want a lighter meal, you could choose smaller portions of pancakes, a 4 0z steak or kid-sized burger.
A couple more firsthand recommendations: Anuenue for shave ice and ice cream in the Kawaihae Harbor Shopping Center (toward the north part of the island and not far from the lovely Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, where we stayed for four nights) and Punalu'u Bake Shop for malasadas (like doughnuts) on the south side of the island — the southernmost bakery in the U.S.!
One restaurant we didn't love (unfortunately, since it got good TripAdvisor reviews) was Cafe Pesto. This Italian eatery, also in the Kawaihae Harbor Shopping Center, was absolutely packed with families and couples. We thought the kids' menu was impressive in its variety. However, my daughter opted for a simple plate of buttered noodles, and I think there were maybe 20 pieces of penne on her plate! It was a lame serving, for sure (perhaps okay for a toddler; not for a 12 year old). Further, our waiter was unfriendly; I'd almost describe him as surly — as if he didn't want us there. I wouldn't recommend.
That said, the restaurants, ice cream spot and bakery we did enjoy on Hawaii, the Big Island were quite good — so great for families. So, please check them out when you visit Hawaii Island!
This is the first of several posts about Hawaii, the Big Island, based on my family's trip to the volcanic isle in March (I know, I know… I'm a bit behind). Until I get all of my suggestions for things to do and see on Hawaii Island posted in the coming months, click over to the official Hawaii Island visitor bureau website for all sorts of vacation-planning advice — with or without kids!

Hasbro has been teasing the return of Jem for a couple of years now. Jem has popped up in various convention stuff with Hasbro, but little to no details were revealed. Like Micronauts, it's one of those things that we hear Hasbro is working on but never see, at least until now. Jem and the Holograms is generally something I could care less about, but I did watch Jem from time to time back in the 80's. See kids, back then all the cartoons came on in one big block and Jem would run smack dab in the middle of shows like GI Joe and Ninja Turtles.
Anyway, Hasbro has finally announced the return of Jem and the Holograms, signing a deal with Integrity Toys to produce a new Jem doll. Think of it kind of like how Hasbro opted to have Sideshow make new 12 inch GI Joes. The only problem? Jem's new price tag is, you guessed it, truly outrageous. This doll will cost you $125!
Although the doll is supposed to be high end, it honestly doesn't look much better to me than many of the Barbies on the market today. And if my recent Elvis review tells us anything, I clearly know the Barbie market. Speaking of Barbie, Jem and the Holograms was Hasbro's attempt to take some of the Barbie market back in the 80's. They were mildly successful, but alas it was short lived. Jem developed a big following though, thanks to the cartoon and the few years that the toy line did survive.
Which I guess is what brings us to now. An expensive new Jem. It seems that all of Intergrity's dolls retail for around that sort of price (although they do have some RuPaul dolls on clearance!) so I guess that's par for the course. I don't follow the doll world enough to know for sure, but it still looks like a ripoff to me.
The line will debut at SDCC where you can buy the Jem doll and you can find more info at the new offical Jem website.
6 Responses to SDCC Jem Doll Price is Truly Outrageous
Yeah, the price tag is ridiculous and honestly the doll looks so freaking bland. If you were going to relaunch the Jem line with expensive figures obviously aimed at the original audience, why not put her in a more familiar all-pink get-up like in the old school box art you posted above?
& where the hell are the light-up earrings??? Rip-off galore, but you just know the thing will fly off the proverbial shelves.
Yeah Jem fans are apparently eating this up.
No clue. I assume they know something I don't.
This is really stupid on Hasbro part— you get a Doll from a 20 year old cartoon and they made this crap— SMURFWRECK is absolutely right— where are the blinking Earrings, the Pink Dress, the stockings and the Jerrica Blue & White Dress and Hat disguise— and then the BIG surprise!!! BOOM!! the $125.00 price tag— leave it up to HASBLO to ruin yet another Comic Con Exclusive— This doll here makes me nausous
I still have my Original Dolls with all accessories in my glass Cabnet— I love all the dolls but when HASBRO change Jem's Face to look like Cheryl Tei i refuse to get it— because her head was too big—anyway That's my 2 cents.
Yeah you seem to share the sentiment of a lot of folks, although there are those who are excited. I suppose not having anything in terms of new stuff for a long time will do that to a fan base.

Lampe leaves lasting impression
Updated: June 3, 2003, 11:49 AM ETBy Chad Ford | NBA Insider
Editor's note: ESPN NBA Insider Chad Ford got exclusive access to the pre-draft workouts of Dwyane Wade, Maciej Lampe and Chris Kaman on Monday. Here's his report from Hoops Gym. CHICAGO -- How do three potential lottery picks prepare for the NBA Draft? Think lots of shooting, protein shakes, shuttle drills, suicide runs, weightlifting, some one-on-one with a foam dummy and a lot of instruction from Michael Jordan's personal trainer, Tim Grover.
9 a.m.: Marquette's Dwyane Wade hits the court to begin the first workouts of the day. He's joined by Ball State's Theron Smith, North Dakota's Jerome Beasley and Marquette's Robert Jackson.

Bush's Excellent Environmental Record
January 17, 2000
It is not surprising that Texas Gov. George W. Bush's environmental record is under particularly close scrutiny. That record should be judged on the basis of improvements made since he became governor, and against the records of other states and the nation.
For example, from 1995-1997:
- Sulfur dioxide emissions in Texas fell by 17.1 percent compared to an increase of 11.2 percent nationally
- Nitrogen oxide emissions fell 23.6 percent in Texas while rising 8.2 percent nationally
- Emissions of volatile organic compounds fell by 43.2 percent in Texas but only 16 percent nationally
- Carbon monoxide emissions fell 12 percent in Texas but only 5.1 percent nationally.
Only in the emission of particulate matter did Texas fail to exceed national averages for emission reductions -- Texas emissions fell 11.9 percent compared to a 21.2 percent average national decline.
And, to reduce air pollution still further, Governor Bush recently signed legislation making Texas the first state to require that older power plants reduce emissions -- plants that had been "grandfathered in" or exempted from emission restrictions under the 1970 Clean Air Act.
Gov. Bush has responded to Texas's environmental problems by pioneering an approach that treats property owners and the private sector as allies in the effort to solve environmental problems. The successes of these programs speak for themselves.

7 January 2017
A letter from your spout vibrates your chain, a word makes it rattle, a sentence give it tough grip, and a speech breaks it. Congratulations! You are unchained! You've got your freedom.
Be expressive, it doesn't matter if you are a taciturn. At a point in time in life, there is the great need to speak up. You need to have the ability to know when not to keep shut. And when you speak, say something worth saying so the aftermath will be worth it.
Don't give in to the temptation to just fight back, to return an angry voice by raising your own. Don't join the crowd of hurt people hurting other people.
Instead, use your words for something else. Something powerful, something subversive. Better yet, let the words of your mouth reflect the actions of your life.
Act first! Speak second! But please, speak up.
Say something. Even if it is a sentence. Even if it has been said that "Speech is silver, Silence is golden." But speech can be glitters over silence at times at its relevant period.
Let's observe; silence has often ushered evil into the world. There is a reason why Hitler gained power so quickly. He could speak. And there is a reason why he didn't win the war. Someone else spoke up.
Be the person who says something when no one else is. Be brave. Dare to speak and have something worth talking about.
Start a revolution with your words. Talk is not cheap. It doesn't have to be, anyway.
Talk can be valuable. Talk can be rich and worthwhile and a gift to the world.
So do us all a favour of opening up your mouth. Speak to unchain yourself and give freedom to the world.
How have you witnessed the power of words in your own life? Share in the comments.

Forward-Looking information
This presentation contains, without limitation, forward-looking information relating to the current state and future development of E-T Energy's oil sands resources, business prospects and strategies, technology, business, financial condition and operations. Forward-looking information typically contains statements using words such as "anticipate", "believe", "project", "forecasted", "expect", "plan", "intend", "estimate", "goal" or similar words suggesting future outcomes and statements that actions, events or conditions "may", "would", "could" or "will" be taken or occur in the future.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. By its nature, forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties and other factors that contribute to the possibility that the possible outcome, expectations, forecasts, projections and other forms of forward looking information will not be achieved. These factors include management's ability to anticipate and manage uncertainty and risk. The Company faces a large number of risks, including: reliance on a new and unproven process; electricity supply and pricing; dependence on contractual arrangements with third parties; reliance on key personnel and competition for qualified personnel; early stage of development of the Company; insufficient funding or proceeds of financing; oil prices and heavy oil differentials; marketability of bitumen and the lack of infrastructure ; royalty regime and changes to it; taxation; environmental laws and regulations and their application; general government regulation and regulatory approvals; reliance on intellectual property rights and a proprietary process; legal risks and challenges; resource estimates and quantities; abandonment and reclamation costs; competition; foreign exchange rate fluctuations; title risks and aboriginal claims; insurance; seasonality; operational difficulties; and all of the typical risks faced by resource developers. The Company is also exposed to additional risks and uncertainties that it does not presently know, or currently considers immaterial, which may also impair E-T Energy's business and/or operations. If one or more of the events associated with these various risks actually occur, the Company's business may be harmed and E-T Energy's financial and operating results may suffer significantly.
Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions that may prove to be incorrect including, but not limited to: general economic, market and business conditions; commodity prices and differentials; resource estimates; the accuracy of cost estimates, the relationships with key project contractors, suppliers and customers, production rates and economic returns; the availability of sufficient capital on satisfactory terms; the successful and timely approval and implementation of capital projects; currency exchange rates; government enacted environmental initiatives; the impact of changes in applicable laws and regulations; and the successful commercialization of ET-DSP™.
The actual results, performance or achievements of E-T Energy, and ET-DSP™, could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by forward looking statements; accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefit E-T Energy will derive from them. Except as required by law, E-T Energy undertakes no obligation to publicly update or otherwise revise any information, including any forward looking information for future events, changes or other such factors that affect this information.

5ET-DSP™ Process
Power Delivery System distributes electrical current and non-potable water to the electrode wells.
Electric current energizes the electrodes, while injected water cools the electrodes.
Electric current rapidly cycles between electrodes, heating the formation water and bitumen.
Injected water maintains electrical conductivity and formation pressure.
Heated bitumen and water are pumped from the formation by progressive cavity pumps.
Bitumen is cleaned to sales spec and sold into markets.
Produced water is recycled and re-injected to minimize the need for external water.
Oil sands formations are highly permeable and contain a significant amount of in situ formation water
Electrical current is conducted through the formation water that envelops the non-conductive sand particles
Water is strongly resistant to electricity and the electrical energy is converted to heat, i.e. the water gets hotter the more current that flows
The water is heated to +/- 130 deg. C, but the formation pressure prevents it from flashing into steam
Heat is transferred from the water to the oil and sand particles by conduction
The large surface area between the water film and the sand particles facilitates the rapid transfer of heat.

Q&A with #1111 – Kimmie S'More
Written by Anvil SmashHerNasty
Edited by Peyton Slamming
Since 2007, Kimmie S'More has made her way through Indiana roller derby, starting with ROSI (Roller Girls of Southern Indiana).
She is celebrating her her first anniversary with NRG by landing a spot on the Warning Belles roster for the very first time on January 26th.
Q: How did you choose your name and where did you come from?
A: I'm from Evansville originally. My name is from a Black Flag song and their symbol is my number. I really like that band, and there were only a few Kim, Kimmy, Kimmie names on the twoevils roster when I chose it, so it was very original at the time. Now you see all kinds of Gimme More or gimme mo or Gim'me Moore like names, but I was the first!
Q: What attracted you to roller derby? How did you get involved?
A: I had a friend ask me for almost a year to do it. I was way too busy at the time she asked. Later that year, I quit one of my four jobs and I didn't know what else to do with all my free time.
Q: What do you do off the track?
A: My non-derby life is not that interesting. I'm engaged to a member of the men's team locally (the Race City Rebels)! Upchuck Norris and I got engaged last February! Derby did not bring us together – I introduced him to the sport.
Q: What has been your biggest derby moment so far?
A: I had several last year – playing in a bout with/against Scald Eagle, Joy Collision, Georgia W. Tush and Hockey Honey is probably near the top of the list.
Q: If you could be any superhero, who would you be and why?
A: Scald Eagle (Rose City – Portland, OR) because she's amazing and has super skating powers!

General Guide by Beraks
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Hello all!
This is my first build but I hope it will be helpfull for some players who want to start playing leona or increase their skill with her. Of course, I am not best leona player on the world and all your negative and possitive comments are welcome!
Why leona?
Leona is generally one of best supports in this game, in my personal opinion she is the best support out of all.
This is thanks to various things, mostly thanks to her stuns, slows, armor, magic resistance, tankiness and for sure she is sexy!
I have chosen Leona because I am playing her a long time, I love her and she can REALLY counter every one other support in this game for now! (Of course, depends on player skill and gameplay, and a lot on your adc too)
As I said, this is build for AGGRESSIVE LEONA, so all items will be used to engage enemies, deal significant damage and engage hard in early/mid/late game all of enemy team not only on your lane!
My item build is composed of items which give you nice HP, nice Armor and at least some damage burst.
The most important items are Sunfire Cape and Righteous Glory.
Sunfire is very good damage burst for you at start, this is my first item all time - Very good HP, armor and damage burst in one item!
Righteous Glory is my second choice, because it will give you and your allies nice movement speed bonus and on the end of duration very good slow (Or you can use this slow by reactivating item)
All other items are used to burst your HP and Armor. Some items are very usefull only in some situations, depends on enemy champions pick.
This is my favourite abilities build.
I am starting with E, because it is very good for early engage, very good for help your jungler at start and it can stop enemy champion too.
In this aggressive build we will max our shield spell, because it is dealing most damage out of all spells, it give you armor and magic resist when you use it and it is pretty nice spell!
Our next spell which will be maxed is our Spear, because we need to short her cooldown to minimum for more negages and better damage.
Last spell we will max is our stun. We will just need to short it´s cooldown, because it is very usefull spell in all parts of game if you use it good.
Ability usage:
Early game:
If you are level 6, you can go:
The next usage depends on cooldowns, you will need to learn your coodlowns and watch them all the time because it is the most important thing.
I am using classic masteries for support, so you can get golds faster and you have some good advantages for you and your adc 0/9/21
I am using runes for HP, Armor and Magic resist because we will be main initiator most times in teamfights and on the lane!
Counters and more
Leona is very good support with a lot of stuns so she is really one of the best supports in this game, maybe the best (in my opinion she is the best!).
She can counter like 90% of champions thanks to her CC and good movement and this is reason why you shall try her!
She is one of best tanks, one of best CC champions and sexy girl!
Thanks for wiewing my guide and I will welcome all your comments, either possitive or neggative.
Have a nice day and enjoy!

Can't detect 3 terabyte hd Windows 7
I don't get this no issues but Windows 7 won't detect any usb hd neither sub 2.0 or 3.0 different ports don't help and outs fully updated plus no other issues.

Your writing is hard to read or understand.
- That said, what kind (brand) is this 3TB hard drive?
- Have you tried different cables?
- Have you tried said hard drive in another PC?
- Is said hard drive being seen in disk management? If it is, does it have a drive? If not, assign one.
And sometime cables act strange, so check the connections on both ends. I've had issue where my portable hard drive isn't being recognized only to find fiddling with the cable fixes the issue.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – For the first time in nearly 60 years, two New York teams will open their seasons at home and at the same time.
Back in 1956, the Dodgers and the Giants both played host on Opening Day.
Some Mets and Yankees fans have crossed paths on their way to Opening Day at Grand Central Terminal, where the 4 and 7 trains meet. And as WCBS 880's Alex Silverman reported, fans of both teams seem to have similar expectations.
"They have a tough year this year, a lot of injuries," a Yankees fan told Silverman. "Even seeing [General Manager] Brian Cashman in crutches this morning was like an indication of it's going to be a tough year."

Paolo Tullio: Served with love
The Healthy Habits Café
Quarantine Hill, Wicklow Town. Tel: 0404 68645
It was Lara Stuart who told me about it. "There's a café in Wicklow Town," she said, "that serves raw food. It might make an interesting review for you."
It did sound interesting, and I said to Lara: "You know most of my favourite foods are raw -- sushi and sashimi, steak tartare and carpaccio, prosciutto, truffles, caviar..."
"No Paolo, you don't understand, it's raw vegetables."
"Just raw vegetables?" I asked incredulously. "No, they do lots of other things like fruit, and oh yes, nuts and, um, seeds as well."
Well, that list discards maybe 95pc of the culinary canon. On first hearing, it sounded more like philosophy than gastronomy, but I was intrigued. I knew just who to ask to come with me too, because Lainey Keogh is very into her vegetables, pulses and whole foods in general.
Not long before we were about to set off for our raw lunch, Chris de Burgh was on the phone to me and I told him of our plans. "Sounds interesting," said Chris, "I'll see you both there."
Which is what happened. We met up on Wicklow's Quays, just around the corner from Quarantine Hill, where the Healthy Habits Café can be found. We walked into a small courtyard which had a few tables set up. Directly in front of us was a shop that sold health foods and books on self-awareness, and on our right was a small café with a counter displaying the food, and a few tables.
On the day we went, the menu had wraps, four of them: a Paddy wrap, a Mexican wrap, an Italian wrap and a Danish wrap. Well, Chris was born in South America so he had the Mexican wrap, Lainey of course had the Paddy wrap, and, as for me, I had to choose between Danish and Italian. I went for the Italian.
There was a soup of the day as well, so we all elected to have soup. It was soy based and it was hot, but the vegetables in it weren't cooked. "The wraps aren't cooked either," said the nice lady who was serving us, "they're dehydrated."
We also decided on juices to go with our meal and there were quite a few to choose from: Clean Green (cucumber, celery and apple); Gingered Carrot (carrot, apple, celery and ginger); Popeye (carrot, apple celery and spinach); Zinger (apple, lime and ginger), and Spicy Dicey (carrot, apple, celery, kale, ginger and cayenne pepper). As well as those there was orange juice and a wheatgrass shot. All the juices were €2.60, as were the fruit smoothies.
With our order in place we took a table outside, where you can see right down to the boats bobbing by the quays. I was looking around me and thinking that the nice ladies who were serving us had something of a religious habit on, a sort of light-blue smock and sandals, but I thought no more about it, thinking maybe that's what health-food people wear.
The soup arrived and I have to say it was very tasty. A good mix of flavours and just a hint of mint made it refreshing, and, more importantly, good for you. I had a real sensation of doing my body some good for a change, treating it for once as more of a temple than a skip. I was also enjoying my Clean Green, which had a really refreshing taste. We all agreed there was something rather charming about this place; it was simple and unpretentious.
As our various wraps arrived, another younger woman came out of a door behind us, dressed in the same way as the other ladies we'd met. She came up to Chris and said she enjoyed his music.
As she was talking my eye fell on a sign on the gates of the courtyard, which informed me that the café and shop were run by the Servants of Love, a monastic community. We learned from the lady talking to Chris that there's a whole complex of living quarters and workshops as well the shop and café, and that they are a community of eight.
The feeling I'd had of calm and restfulness now began to make sense. This café is a labour of love and if there's one thing I know, it's that food prepared with love always tastes better.
We ate our wraps with pleasure: Chris's Mexican wrap had mung beans, marinated cucumber and onions, alfalfa, sprouted pumpkin seeds and sweet chilli sauce; Lainey's Paddy wrap had marinated cucumbers and onions, carrot and alfalfa, with a pumpkin-seed 'mayo', and my Italian wrap had sun-dried tomatoes, olives, marinated cucumber and onion, and pumpkin-seed 'mayo'.
I can't say with my hand on my heart that this was gastronomy, but it was surprisingly tasty given the limitations of the brief.
There was such a warm sensation of welcome coming from these Servants of Love that the three of us began to get quite dewy eyed about the whole thing. There I was, a confirmed and sceptical old atheist finding this lunch to be utterly charming, even though it was the sort of food I'd normally give a wide berth.
This pleasure was increased when I discovered that they do pretty good espressos, and I had one to end my meal while Chris and Lainey had a tea.
Lainey was very keen to visit the shop, so she and Chris went in to browse while I went to pay. I'm looking at the bill now and I think something must have been left out of the reckoning because I see a total of €26.55, which has to be wrong. Surely it must have been more than €30?
Chris and Lainey came out of the shop with books and herbal medicines, flushed with pleasure at finding this route to well-being.
If healthy eating is your thing, a trip for lunch (they only do lunch) in the Healthy Habits Café will please you. You'll find an oasis of calm, simple and nourishing food, plus you'll feel you're helping a community.
The verdict
Food 8/10
Ambience 7/10
Value for money 8/10
Total 23/30

The Life You Are Given vs. The Life You Choose

A inexpensive way to explore different sounds and for the kids to have some fun. I set out different sized beans, rice, and different beads and we tested out each sound before the kids decided which sounds they liked the best.
What you need:
Plastic eggs, big and small beans, rice, bead, plastic spoons, pipe cleaners, tape (decorative tape would be super cute, ribbon or decorative paper, I did not have that on hand)
After they filled their eggs with the items they wanted I taped around the egg.
Tape the bottom of the spoons together and place egg in the middle of the spoons and tape again.
Wrap the pipe cleaner into the middle of the spoons and then around the outside for a comfortable handle.
They turned out great...the kids went out onto the porch and played "BAND". : ) I love my kids. K is my little over accessorizer and she picked a few beans, beads and rice for each one...down to her science. The beans and beads mixed with just the right amount of rice sounded pretty nice. Lil' G he is more specific and like things a certain way...all small beans in one and all big beans in the other...no rice because he didn't like the way it sounded. They both had their own unique sounds and they smiled all day long. We will be making more and add some bling and color to them.

Woman 'shocked' she survived after swan collides with windscreen
WARNING: Some readers may find these photographs distressing
A disorientated swan flew straight through a motorist's windscreen on the busy Cork-Limerick road.
Mary Murphy, was driving from Mallow to Cork at noon yesterday, when the swan smashed directly into her windscreen.
She said she was terrified and believed that the swan was sick or disorientated since it was flying so low over the busy road.
Mary said: "I am still shaking over what happened.
"There was no warning at all. The swan just hit the windscreen. It was like a bomb going off.
"Thankfully, I didn't brake hard because if I had I definitely would have been hit from behind by other cars on the road."
The swan was killed instantly and the force of the impact drove the bird through the windscreen, knocking off Mary's rear view mirror. The bird ended up lying wedged on top of the steering column.
After the incident, Mary was still in the fast lane on the motorway, but managed to pull over on the hard shoulder and bring her Suzuki SX4 to a safe stop, avoiding other cars on the road.
Mary released photos of the incident to Cork radio station, RedFM.
After bringing her car to a stop, she was helped by passing motorist, Alan Burke, who saw what had happened.
Gardai and vehicle recovery experts were on the scene within minutes.
Mary said: "The man who towed the car away for repairs said he has been in the business for years and it was the first time he had ever heard of a swan hitting a car."
The accident occurred between the Blarney and Killeens junctions on the Cork-Limerick road.
