The Magazine Every Tween Girl Should Read
Dr. Michelle Golland: The story about Jamie Kieles and her 30-day trial of following Seventeen magazine was insightful and funny. It also got me thinking about alternatives to the teeny-bop magazines that do exist.
As a psychologist and the mother of a 7-year-old girl (who at difficult times seems like a teenager already!), I am always looking for anything and everything that will help balance my daughter's consumption of Hannah Montana, iCarly and, yes, her 15 Barbies under her bed. My daughter listens to Taylor Swift, owns American Girl dolls and loves to dress up as a pop star -- but that doesn't mean that I am totally blind to the impact that some of these things can have on her feelings about being a girl in our culture. It is imperative that I strike a balance for her in her exposure to the slick media campaigns that target our daughters.
I am a realist, so given the fact that I grew up with Barbie and turned out (somewhat) emotionally healthy, I decided I couldn't ban the plastic blonde from our home. By the way, Tova loves Barbies of all colors, ethnicities and apparent socioeconomic status (from doctors to veterinarians to supermodels). I am a feminist and want my daughter to value herself for her brains and her brawn as well as her beauty (both inner and outer), and that is why I fell in love with New Moon Girls Magazine (NMGM).
New Moon Girls Magazine is for girls aged 8 and above. It is girl-edited and written, too! It was started in 1993 by an amazing mom (of course), Nancy Gruver. The idea came when Nancy's girls were entering their teenage years. Nancy felt that girls are often upset and confused by the conflict between what they dream for themselves and what society expects of them. She wanted to counter the bombardment of "perfect girl" stereotypes and disrespectful, objectifying media messages that all too often are all the tween set is exposed to.
Nancy's daughters, Mavis and Nia, and their friend, Sara, excitedly began creating this unique magazine. It started with the formation of the founding Girls Editorial Board -- twenty girls who shared power with Nancy and her husband, Joe, to develop the departments, themes and features of this groundbreaking magazine. Their work together introduced NMGM's pioneering "share the power" method, which has since been adopted by many other youth organizations and companies. New Moon Girls Magazine has girls making their own media instead of just consuming it!
The magazine publishes original nonfiction, fiction, poetry, advice, opinions and artwork from girls worldwide. All of the magazine's content is selected and edited by girls, for girls. They have also launched NewMoon.com, a girl-centered online community for girls ages 8 to 12. It is a safe, ad-free environment where girls can create and share content and develop their full potential through self-discovery, creativity and connection.
When your daughter reads the latest New Moon Girls issue, she will find solid, self-esteem-raising articles such as "Inner Beauty Queens Tell All" and the advice column "Ask a Girl," wherein girls ask for advice from other girls. (They get good and grounded advice from their peers!) The May/June issue focuses on beauty, both inner and outer -- inner being the most important, as is reiterated over and over via a variety of fun and entertaining stories and activities.
The Girl Board also came up with a fabulous spin on a fashion show. It's called "The UnFashion Show," wherein you invite a bunch of girlfriends over and strut down the "runway" in your favorite clothes. The focus is not on fashion, but on what the outfits represent and mean to each girl (a la, wearing a ski outfit because you love to snowboard; PJs because if you could stay in bed all day, you would; a favorite T-shirt because it says a lot about your personality). New Moon Girls Magazine is a seven-time winner of the Parents Gold Choice award. With all that this magazine is doing to empower our daughters, I'm not surprised!
So if you are looking for a magazine and an online community that will empower your tween, look no further. I'm so glad I discovered it ... and just wanted to spread the word.
I'd love to see a magazine like this for boys. Tween boy magazines seem to only be sports magazines and not all boys are quite such big sports fans.
I am thrilled by the looks of this magazine. Thanks so much for spreading the word to us moms. My daughter will be receiving her copy soon.
I love this magazine for the content and the energy it seems to evoke in girls. It inspires them to try new things and to pursue their dreams - the operative word being THEIR dreams as opposed to the driveling dreams of the massive marketing machine.

I was thinking about the functions of personal hygiene products and how kind of weird they are. These two would definitely top the list of my current favorites…
How about you?
No, not like that. Yikes, get your minds out of the butt-butter gutter, would you? I'm talking about Ricky-boy's fifth place finish in New Hampshire yesterday — just behind Newt Gingrich. (And believe me: nobody wants to be just behind Newt Gingrich, least of all Rick Santorum.)
It's a tough, uhh, pill to swallow after a virtual first place tie in Iowa last week, and even tougher when you factor in how Romney, a Mormon, also earned 45 percent of the Catholic vote, while Santorum, a Catholic, earned a mere eight percent.
So there's that.
There's also this: a video of Santorum getting booed during a Q&A session in New Hampshire last week after a convoluted tête-à-tête about marriage rights:
His personal beliefs aside, I actually think Santorum conducts himself rather well during the affair, remaining reasonable and open to discussion despite the pointed nature of the questions. On top of which, his interrogator — who had already been munching on word salad up until that point — totally pussies out when Rick responds with the "totally wacky" counterexample of, (basically), "Hey, if two men should be allowed to marry, then why not three men, if being happy and not hurting anyone are the main criteria for marriage?" (Totally wacky, right??) Anyway, the reason I mention the video is not because, against all odds, Santorum isn't wearing a sweater vest in it, but because it's basically yet another long-winded example of his (and many other people's) easily encapsulated view that marriage is an inviolable biblical construct between a man and a woman, end of story.
Or, to put it another, catchier way:
There are two major problems with this vaguely clever bon mot, however:
1) Most inviolable biblical constructs were violated long ago. Behold, a fantastic infographic from r/atheism Redditor and brilliant pseudonym selector, jesusonadinosaur:
Why don't you ever hear anyone defending these thousand-year-old traditions! Rapists deserve a new toaster too, don't they?
2) While I guarantee that I'm not the first person to bother pointing this out, it's worth reiterating that, even if you only tote such rhyming signage as an approximate illustration (rather than a literal indication) of your interpretation of Genesis, by explicitly advertising such views vis-a-vis the first man and woman on earth, you are simultaneously implicitly supporting incest. Don't look at me like that: it's a simple fact that, if Adam and Eve really were the first and only people around at the time, then their children would have had to have a ton of hot brother-on-sister sex in order to populate the planet. But hey, I'm not here to judge. If you want to embrace incest over homosexuality, go right ahead. Hell, you'd certainly be in good company, since God himself obviously subscribes to the adage that, "If you can't keep it in the pants, keep it in the family." He could have avoided the whole debacle if he'd just kept breathing life into clay after creating Adam, but I guess he thought it was more important to take a day off instead. Remind you of any other powerful bodies…Congress???
Holy Jesus, it's a sad time to be a Montreal Canadiens fan. The team is in shambles, fights are breaking out in practice, our interim head coach can't speak French and Francophone protesters are up in arms, our captain has been injured for several months and now appears to be re-injured and we can't win a jeezeless game. Our record is 16-19-7, and we are 12th out of 15 in our division. Yuck.
It's also a sad day to be Carey Price. Last night his former backup goalie-turned-rival-turned-usurper came back for his first game in Montreal on the opposing team, the St. Louis Blues, and got a pretty sweet shutout. He was also named first star of the game and got a standing ovation from Montreal fans.
I am fascinated with the dynamic between two young, talented goalies on the same team (the Washington Capitals from 2009-2011 come to mind with Varlamov and Neuvirth battling for the starting role until Varly got sent packing to Colorado). Montreal had an interesting couple of years with all the back and forth between Price and Halak. And even though Halak got unceremoniously shipped off to St. Louis, it still sucks to be Carey Price. Montreal fans like to turn on, well, anyone and everyone, when shit gets bad. And although Carey Price has not been near our biggest problem so far this season, he isn't as hot as he could be. To say that people have high expectations for him would be an understatement –one of his early nicknames in the Montreal media was Jesus Price. The poor guy also has the saddest eyes of any goalie I've ever seen. He looks like a kicked puppy.
What's it going to take for this team to turn it all around? I have no idea. Firing the General Manager would be a good start. They will probably all get turned into paraplegicstomorrow night when they play the Bruins, so does it even matter? Still, I refuse to bear the indignity of not making the playoffs. That would be too much for my sad little Habs fan heart to take
Interjection by Ben: Not making the playoffs will break your heart? Honey, try being a Raptors fan.
See here and especially here.
As American consumers ogle over shiny new gadgets at this week's Consumer Electronic's Show, the workers that make those products are threatening mass suicide for the horrid working conditions at Foxconn. 300 employees who worked making the Xbox 360 stood at the edge of the factory building, about to jump, after their boss reneged on promised compensation, reports English news site Want China Times. It's not like this is the first time working conditions at Foxconn have made news outside China. But iPhone and Xbox sales surely haven't lagged in the wake of those revelations and neither Apple nor Microsoft has done much of anything to fix things.
The most recent This American Life has a long segment on the working conditions at Foxconn (and companies like it). Worth a listen.
Also relevant: Jia Zhangke's movies. He gets to the human in the bleak reality of being a worker in the new China. 'Specially Still Life, though I've heard The World is also good.
Brendan somehow scored tickets to the Jon Huntsman gala in New Hampshire tonight, so we're going to drive up to Manchester and sit in a bar surrounded by Republicans for the evening. I'll have a full write-up tomorrow, but can I just mention that it's a bit weird that the Google auto-fill for "Jon Huntsman" suggests "Jon Huntsman daughters"? I mean, that's a bit weird, right?
It is.
Anyway, it should be fun. If I remain sober (unlikely) I'll try to interview some people. If I get drunk, I'll just harangue everyone. Priorities!
Apparently, all it takes these days to be pardoned for murder is a little Pledge — and no, I don't mean a pledge saying that you won't do it again; I mean the actual cleaning product.
Outgoing Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour has pardoned at least four convicted killers who worked at the Governor's Mansion, including a man who was denied parole less than two weeks ago.
In the executive orders Barbour signed, he wrote each "proved to be a diligent and dedicated workman."
The former inmates are David Gatlin, convicted of killing his estranged wife in 1993; Joseph Ozment, convicted in 1994 of killing a man during a robbery; Anthony McCray, convicted in 2001 of killing his wife; Charles Hooker, sentenced to life in 1992 for murder; and Nathan Kern, sentenced to life in 1982 for burglary after at least two prior convictions.
You can read the article for the details surrounding each of the brutal murders, but trust me when I say that it only exacerbates the redonkulous-ness of the situation — especially when you factor in the information that, under Barbour, Mississippi has also executed nine murderers in the last six years. But hey, what else would you expect from a Republican, right?
Democrats were quick to condemn the pardons, though past governors from both parties have granted some sort of early release to the inmates who lived and worked at the Governor's Mansion.
"Serving your sentence at the Governor's Mansion where you pour liquor, cook and clean should not earn a pardon for murder," Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley, a Democrat, posted Monday on his Facebook page.
Barbour's three predecessors, dating back to 1988, gave some type of early release or pardon to a total of 12 Governor's Mansion trusties. All but two of them had been convicted of murder. One was serving time for forgery and another for armed robbery and aggravated assault. [emphasis my own]
I don't know what "trusties" are (sounds like a low-end adult diaper brand), but anyone following Barbour's career over the years shouldn't be surprised. From Radley Balko's two-year-old Slate article on a similar subject:
Over the last two years [2007-2009], as reported by the Jackson Free Press, Barbour has pardoned, granted clemency to, or suspended the sentences of at least five convicted murderers, four of whom killed their wives or girlfriends. Those four are:
- Bobby Hays Clark, who in 1996 shot his ex-girlfriend in the neck and beat her boyfriend with a broom handle. Clark, who had a previous aggravated assault conviction, was sentenced to 38 years. Barbour pardoned him last year without notifying the family of Clark's victim.
- Michael David Graham, who in 1989 shot his ex-wife point-blank with a shotgun while she waited at a traffic light. Barbour suspended Graham's life sentence, and he was released.
- Clarence Jones, who stabbed his ex-girlfriend 22 times in 1992. She had previously filed multiple assault and trespassing charges against him. He was sentenced to life in prison. Barbour pardoned him last year.
- Paul Joseph Warnock, who in 1989 shot his girlfriend in the back of the head as she slept. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1993. Barbour pardoned him last year.
Barbour also pardoned William James Kimble, convicted and sentenced to life for robbing and murdering an elderly man in 1991.
None of these men were pardoned because of concerns that they didn't receive a fair trial or could be innocent. Instead, all five were enrolled in a prison trusty program that had them doing odd jobs around the Mississippi governor's mansion. Responding to backlash when Barbour suspended Graham's sentence, a spokesman for Barbour told the Free Press, "Historically, Governors have reviewed cases like that of Michael Graham, whose conduct as a prisoner earned him the right to work as a trusty at the Governor's Mansion, where he has performed well and proven to be a diligent workman. The Governor is giving him a chance through an indefinite suspension of his sentence to start a new life away from Pascagoula and Jackson County, pending his future good behavior."
Yeah! Fuck the murdered! Why should I have no life just because they don't, right?
Take us home, Mississippi Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps:
"I have sympathy and empathy for the victims," Epps said. "I've been a crime victim, but the point of the matter is this is just something that happens."
Almost makes you want to break in to song…
I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the floors I mopped
Which is why you pardoned me
And I gladly stand UP next to you
Since I'm no longer in jail-y
'Cause there ain't no doubt I luv this guv
God Bless that Barbour, Haley!
Hey, everyone, guess what! Todd Palin announced his super-official Republican Presidential endorsement today! You know what that means? It means that our Very Serious press corps is all over this story like white on rice, or brown on rice, or yellow on rice. It really depends what kind of rice you're eating! (Hint: this rice makes you go blind, bleed internally, and is not FDA approved):
Sarah Palin's husband is endorsing Newt Gingrich for president, Todd Palin told ABC News today.
But Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and John McCain's 2008 Republican running mate, has yet to decide "who is best able to go up against Barack Obama," Todd Palin said.
Palin said he has not spoken to Gingrich or anyone from the former House speaker's campaign. But he said he respects Gingrich for what he went through in the 1990s and compared that scrutiny in public life to what Sarah Palin went through during her run for the vice presidency.
Todd Palin said he believes that being in the political trenches and experiencing the highs and lows help prepare a candidate for the future and the job of president.
He did not criticize any of the other candidates and said his "hat is off to everyone" in the Republican race.
THIS IS NEWS, PEOPLE! BREAKING NEWS! Where to begin?
FIRST OF ALL, we're talking about Todd Palin. He is Sarah Palin's husband. In that capacity he has gone snowmobiling, fathered 16 children, and , uh, lived in Alaska. Maybe he caught some fish, too, I dunno. Anyway, so this is obviously a very big deal, know what I mean? It would be like asking Pat Nixon who she endorsed, except that her endorsement, by virtue of being delivered from the grave, would carry a little more gravitas, even if it was anonymously sourced, due to an aide's "inability to speak about the matter on the record, since Pat Nixon is dead and the endorsement was revealed to a shaman deep in the Ecuadorean rainforest, who then communicated it via a translator while both were high on peyote and firewater." Or something. You get what I'm saying. This is a big deal. Todd Palin just endorsed Newt Gingrich, y'all. Wise the fuck up.
SECONDLY, this? "[Todd Palin] respects Gingrich for what he went through in the 1990s and compared that scrutiny in public life to what Sarah Palin went through during her run for the vice presidency" — this might be the most important statement from an American politician since the Monroe Doctrine. THAT WAS IN 1820, PEOPLE! WE'VE GOT A JUGGERNAUT ON OUR HANDS! Clearly, what Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich endured in their time in the public spotlight was shameful, shameful. I mean, people HELD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR SHIT! That's insanity! What kind of country do we live in, a communist one?
Didn't think so, librul media.
THIRDLY, "hats off to everyone" in the Republican field? Even Mitt Romney? That guy's practically a socialist. I'll excuse it, because it's Todd Palin, and as mentioned, he just delivered the 21st century equivalent of the Emancipation Proclamation, but by golly if I'm not a bit flummoxed. Flummoxed, I say. Mitt Romney will be the death of the Republican party, the American way, apple pie, moms, fetuses, and God Him or Herself. Okay, Himself (what am I, a lesbian?), but you get the picture. At least, I hope you do. Todd Palin is the picture, and he just caught fifty pounds of salmon with his bare hands, strutted up to the cold Alaskan beach front with his shirt off, and endorsed Newt Gingrich for President. Now is not the time to let your guard down, even if he did take his hat off for Mitt Romney.
FOURTHLY, another excerpt:
Gingrich's ability to overcome the obstacle and still move up in the polls showed his ability to campaign and survive, according to Todd Palin, who said Gingrich is not one of the typical "beltway types" and that his campaign has "burst out of the political arena and touched many Americans."
Do you know what I think of when I think about the phrase "beltway type"? I think about Levi Strauss, and Lee, and Calvin Klein, and Osh-Kosh-b-Gosh. I think about jeans, because when I wear jeans I wear a belt, and the "way" to be the "type" of person who wears "belts" is to wear jeans. But I never see Newt Gingrich in jeans. Have you ever seen Newt Gingrich in jeans? I have not. Oh, sure, maybe he's worn them once or twice, but certainly not enough to be called a "belt" "way" "type." I mean, the guy's a former Speaker of the House, lobbyist, and current Presidential candidate. If that's what a "belt" "way" "type" is, you can sign me right up. It's better than wearing jeans, that's for sure.
LASTLY, Sarah Palin. I'll tell you what, I admire her restraint. The Republican field this year has been a little bit like a game of hot potato. It's smart not to commit to a candidate too rashly. It would be embarrassing, after all, if she bet all her money on the Romney potato and the Santorum potato exploded into a slick, white mash. She has to show caution and resolve. She has to act Presidential. If she's going to go around the country pretending to run for President for the rest of her life, after all, she may as well know the part. What I'm saying: hedge your bets, Sarah. Choose wisely!
The end.
For me, one of the most entertaining and disgusting parts of Morgan Spurlock's documentary, Super Size Me, came at the very end when he compared the decomposition rates of various McDonald's items with a "real" hamburger and fries.
Whenever Melanie Hesketh's kids get a hankering for junk food, all she has to do is point to the kitchen counter.
That's where she keeps an unwrapped cheeseburger that turns one on Thursday, and it looks pretty much the same as the day it came off a McDonald's grill.
Mould, maggots, fungi, bacteria — all have avoided the tempting meal that sits in plain view.
"Obviously it makes me wonder why we choose to eat food like this when even bacteria won't eat it," said Ms. Hesketh.
The meat patty has shrunk a bit, but it still looks edible and, with a faint but lingering greasy, leathery odour, she said it "still smells slightly like a burger . . . it hasn't changed much."
Gross, right? Yeah, totally — but perhaps for reasons having little to do with McDonald's. Enter SCIENCE!!!1!
According to a 2010 article by J. Kenji López-Alt over at Serious Eats,
The problem with coming to that conclusion, of course [that McDonald's hamburgers don't rot], is that if you are a believer in science (and I certainly hope you are!), in order to make a conclusion, you must first start with a few observable premises as a starting point with which you form a theorem, followed by a reasonably rigorous experiment with controls built in place to verify the validity of that theorem.
Thus far, I haven't located a single source that treats this McDonald's hamburger phenomenon in this fashion. Instead, most rely on speculation, specious reasoning, and downright obtuseness to arrive at the conclusion that a McDonald's burger "is a chemical food[, with] absolutely no nutrition."
As I said before, that kind of conclusion is both sensationalistic and specious, and has no place in any of the respectable academic circles which A Hamburger Today would like to consider itself an upstanding member of.
Read the article for all the juice-free details, but the bottom line is, after 25 days:
Turns out that not only did the regular McDonald's burgers not rot, but the home-ground burgers did not rot either. Samples one through five had shrunk a bit (especially the beef patties), but they showed no signs of decomposition. What does this mean?
It means that there's nothing that strange about a McDonald's burger not rotting. Anyburger of the same shape will act the same way. The real question is, why?
Well, here's another piece of evidence: Burger number 6, made with no salt, did not rot either, indicating that the salt level has nothing to do with it.
by the end of 2 weeks, both the regular burgers and the Quarter Pounders ended up losing about 31% of their total weight and are pretty much stable.
the burger doesn't rot because it's small size and relatively large surface area help it to lose moisture very fast. Without moisture, there's no mold or bacterial growth. Of course, that the meat is pretty much sterile to begin with due to the high cooking temperature helps things along as well. It's not really surprising. Humans have known about this phenomenon for thousands of years. After all, how do you think beef jerky is made?
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to buy a Slim Jim.

ARIES - March 21/April 20
Aries, you want more than you can acquire this week and your desires may lead you astray. It is important to exercise self-restraint, even if you get a thrill from living on the edge.
TAURUS - April 21/May 21
Taurus, make a concerted effort to improve your focus in the weeks ahead. There is much to lose if you cannot tackle the tasks at hand, particularly at the workplace.
GEMINI - May 22/June 21
Gemini, it's unlike you to slow down, so don't be surprised when friends start looking at you curiously after you take your foot off the gas. Your free spirited nature will soon return.
CANCER - June 22/July 22
Cancer, find a routine that works for you and then stick with it. There is no need to reinvent the wheel, and when actions become automatic, you can focus on other things.
LEO - July 23/Aug. 23
A need for attention could get the better of you, Leo. A little humility goes a long way and can alter others' perceptions of you. You may end up being seen in a more positive light.
VIRGO - Aug. 24/Sept. 22
Virgo, you can differentiate between right and wrong, but your judgment might be off this week. Rely on your intuition, but don't make any big decisions without first thinking carefully.
LIBRA - Sept. 23/Oct. 23
Libra, it may seem like you are being led astray by one thing after another, when all you want is to focus on one task at a time. Find a way to block out any and all distractions.
SCORPIO - Oct. 24/Nov. 22
Scorpio, work on a creative project with a sweetheart or friend early in the week. Ideas will flow easily and your imaginations will soar together. It is a productive pairing.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 23/Dec. 21
This is not your week to mix love and money, Sagittarius. In fact, keep the two as separate as possible, and exercise caution before lending anyone money.
CAPRICORN - Dec. 22/Jan. 20
Capricorn, you want to play outside of the rules this week. You normally like to follow a relatively traditional course, so this catches others off guard.
AQUARIUS - Jan. 21/Feb. 18
You don't always have the patience to stick with the same routine, Aquarius. That means others cannot expect you to conform to their whims if they want you as a friend.
PISCES - Feb. 19/March 20
Pisces, you may need to sacrifice some security for a chance to have a memorable experience. Do something out of the ordinary.

Credit to the Bluestem Prairie blog for shining some light on one of the more, um, interesting advertisements for a home-improvement business that I've seen in awhile.
Or is it an interesting campaign ad that weaves in an advertisement for a home-improvement business?
Or is it an obvious attempt to skirt campaign rules?
Anyhoooo ...
As Bluestem Prairie reports, an Elk River, Minn., based business called Integrity Exteriors and Remodelers Inc. is using a gentleman named Tom Emmer as its pitchman in TV ads being shown in the Twin Cities. Funny thing is, Emmer is a declared candidate for Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District (the seat currently held by Michele Bachmann).
And, even funnier, Emmer and Integrity make no bones about Emmer's candidacy. To the candidate/pitchman's (or is it pitchman/candidate's) left is a massive campaign sign that takes up two-thirds of the screen and reads "Emmer for Congress."
The text of the commerical also leaves no doubt as to what Emmer is. The pitchman/candidate begins his spiel by saying:
"Hi, my name is Tom Emmer and I'm running for Congress in Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District. If you're looking for somebody to do remodeling ...." Blah, blah blah.
This is interesting. Because, as the Bluestem blog points out it appears Integrity CEO Andrew Dahlberg hasn't made any campaign contributions:
A quick check with the Federal Election Commission and the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board individual contributor databases reveals that Dahlberg does not appear to have made any federal or state campaign contributions large enough to require disclosure by either agency.
The ad may raise eyebrows--if not legal questions--because Emmer introduces the testimonial ad as a candidate running for congress, while standing before a yard sign.
So the question is, is it allowable for a political candidate to be hired as a spokesman for a business and then use the advertising time to not only pitch the business, but the candidacy as well?
I'll leave that up the lawyers and election commissions. And I'm sure the other Republican candidates for the seat also might have some questions/objections to the ad.
The other question, as raised by The Glean at MinnPost is: How desperate is Emmer for money if he is doing TV pitches for a general contractor?
Here is the ad, via YouTube. Just sit back and enjoy the blatant campaigning that's happening in this general contracting advertisement:

I have bought 30 pairs of these over time. Even though they are used, they have a lot of wear left in them, strongest pants I have worn for my farm work for the lowest cost. Things I don't like are the buttons used instead of zipper for the fly, some buttons seem loosely attached and pop off, I will need to sew them on better. Always have bought medium size and that is a lot of different sizes. Price beats any inconveniences, 5 stars.
I am very happy with the product.
Best surplus clothing bargain I have seen. Heavy duty cloth and seams with multiple pockets comparable if not better than the "no plumber butt" Duluth jeans I received last Christmas.
I am very pleased . But I have a qustion to ask .Do you ever have in stock the other types of AK47 receiver blanks ? I.E. Romanian RPK or the Romanian PSL in stock
Since discovering these work trouser, I have been wearing them for work in the mine. Who can beat this quality at this price for a heavy duty trouser?

He's not pointing to the length of the password, but to something subtler. He's basically claiming that when asked to create strong passwords (i.e. with numbers, mixed case, and punctuation), people end up following a predictable formula. The formula is explained in the first panel, with an estimate of how much variation there is in each piece, measured in bits. E.g. a number can be stored in just three bits (actually wrong, you need four),I was rounding to the closest bit, since that gives you a smaller error on the resulting time than rounding up—even though four is the number of bits required (since for storage you obviously have to round up). But there's actually another reason–I don't think all numbers are equally probable, so the entropy is actually less than 3 bits. Here's a table of ending digit frequency from an actual set of decrypted passwords:
while a single bit suffices to indicate whether there's an initial capital or not.I actually cheated a little on that one, because "staple" isn't actually in the 2048-most-common wordlist I checked, but it sounded funnier to me :P (and it depends on your choice of list anyway.)
The four-common-words password is also a formula, and his estimate of 11 bits for each one is equivalent to assuming that the words are chosen from a list of 2048 words. (Which is an adequate definition of "common".)
I think he's underestimating the "strong password" variability-- e.g. three bits for "common substitutions" means he thinks there are only 8 possibilities, which is awfully low. It looks like he's just counting the vowels, but there are other easy substitutions.There are other easy substitutions, but they're made in a pattern, so the practical entropy is again reduced. People usually either do all the numeral substitutions or none, and the more esoteric ones (like 7 for t) come up a lot less frequently. That aside, you also have to look at how frequently there are opportunities for substitutions in the pool of base words. I came up with my number based on frequencies of common and uncommon substitutable letters in a list of six- to nine-letter words. But my guesses for what substitutions are most common could, of course, be wrong!
On the other hand, I think he's underestimating the pool of dictionary words too. No one has the OED memorized, but an educated speaker knows at least ten times that number of words, so his total goes up to 56 bits. And even more if you use a quirky non-dictionary word.I did random sampling from the default Debian dictionary and from a few other corpuses, and against whatever algorithm they have at http://testyourvocab.com/ and decided that even if people *were* picking randomly, 60,000 was a generously high estimate for the number of base words in their vocabulary. 30,000 is closer to typical based on dictionary words. I suspect including non-dictionary words doesn't expand the list nearly as much as one might think; we spend all our lives reading and learning dictionary words, and comparatively little of the text we write pulls from any larger vocabulary of strings. Now, if I took into account the fact that people are without a doubt not capable of generating anything close to a "random word", my entropy would actually be a serious overestimate, but I decided to be generous with that one to make the comparison more fair—since I was assuming that in the passphrase example, the person had a good method for picking a random word. In practice, I bet if you asked a bunch of people on the street to pick a random word they thought no one else would guess, the result would have 8 or 9 bits of entropy at best; I mean, half of them would say "lol, ok, i'm so random ... penguin!"
cinnamon leopard thunder boycycleA dictionary attack *could* get the first three words, although it would take a mindboggling amount of work to get all three of those in the right order. However, "boycycle" does not exist in the dictionary, so now you just have a very long, secure password.
"If you've got access to the password hash, I'm told that rainbow tables make passwords of any reasonable length mostly useless, unless the password+salt exceeds the size of the rainbow table, which becomes more and more improbable each day.Rainbow tables aren't magical. In fact, even without a salt a strong password won't get cracked.
So, where does the highly-entropic password actually still have a use?"
#!/usr/local/bin/perlAs my /usr/share/dict/words has 234936 line, the first n lines of output are a password with n * 17.8 bits of entropy. You should however select more familiar words and conjugate them to obtain something I'll remember, greatly reducing this entropy, but you'll certainly avoid the penguin penguin penguin problem.
use Tie::File;
tie (@D, 'Tie::File', "/usr/share/dict/words", mode => O_RDONLY) or die;
print ($D[rand $#D+1] . "\n") foreach (1..15);
untie @D;
#!/usr/local/bin/perlYou could slightly tweak up the entropy by using a flatter probability distribution on the vowels.
%vowel_freqs = (a => 82, e => 127, i => 70, o => 75, u => 28, y => 20);
while (($c,$f) = each %vowel_freqs) { push(@vowels,$c) foreach (1..$f); }
foreach $i (1..10) {
do { $c = chr(ord('a') + rand 26) } while ( $c =~ /[aeiouy]/ );
print $c;
print $vowels[rand $#vowels+1] if ($i % 2);

i know it might sound frustrating to use but in order to prevent the character migration by the hackers using your cc to pay for it, wouldn't it be prudent using the prepaid gamecards? now if only they can make the prepaid game cards in 3 6 and 12 month increments....hell even an 18month increment would be cool. structure it with the same pay bracket as if you would pay for a year of WOW. that way when you do decide to move your toon to a different server you have to put in your cc info and that way it isnt stored in there forever.
i know this might be frustrating for some that just pay it once a year but it would be safer. keep the old system introduce this new system and see where things go.
The hackers use CC's stolen from other sources. You must completely re-enter your CC when transferring a character. However, if you're the type who gets WoW keyloggers, then you've probably got a bank/CC keylogger as well. So the last thing I would be worried about in that case is a $25 charge.

the blue pill, the blue pill as well as the blindness levels
Due to Pfizer, for your manufacturing of the blue pill, a common drug found in dealing with erection disorder. Similar to with every single other drug, the blue pill also provides undesirable effects which article particularly is targeted in the undesirable results of blindness or decrease in vision associated with the consumption of the blue pill. For people who buy the blue pill online, some unusual undesirable effects may be proven and observed for instance blindness. However serious and permanent blindness might not be the important thing cause for the blue pill. There's inadequate evidence and proof to show that blindness is triggered by the blue pill. When you read along, you'd know any relationship between the blue pill and blindness.
In studies and studies happening, only 3% of people people taking the blue pill and who buy the blue pill online were battling with rare undesirable effects getting high levels of intensity. Incorporated within this are vision problems in which you can become color blind where distinguishing between eco-friendly and blue colors may well be a large condition in cases like this. The person battling with this particular rare undesirable effects may even have elevated sensitivity levels for the light and fuzzy vision.
Some unusual complaints regarding the blue pill are permanent insufficient visions and blindness among people taking the blue pill. It isn't really certain whether the blue pill 's the reason for such blindness or any previous health problems including any genetically factors leading to blindness.
NAION is definitely an very rare vision problem and people taking the blue pill do rarely report back to have this problem. Hardly 3% people examined in a number of studies and studies report back to have this rare side-effect. This is often a condition be responsible for a rapid visit the vision problem of either eye or both eyes. In people males taking the blue pill and battling with NAION disease had other risks that create the possibility progression of this condition for instance 50 age, diabetes, high blood stream pressure &lifier hypertension, heart disease, high-cholesterol and extensive smoking.
NAION together with other vision related complaints are very uncommon rather than really associated with the blue pill. In this particular situation, hurry for the nearest professional and licensed health care professional. Since 1988, more than 23 million males tried on the extender, whereby 900,000 alone inside the Uk. There weren't any serious undesirable effects like insufficient vision among the blue pill clients. NAION is definitely an very rare condition that might have been triggered by a lot of another reasons and not the blue pill.In this particular rare situation, the blood stream does not flow for the optic nerve inducing the permanent vision loss.
You can easily buy the blue pill on the web and get began with dealing with Erection dysfunction. It isn't certain online merchants might be selling high quality the blue pill because there's been numerous occurrences of frauds and occasional quality drugs selling online.

Colorectal Cancer Health Center
Colonoscopy Crowned Best for Detecting Colon Cancer
July 19, 2000 -- Colorectal cancer is a killer. It attacks silently, usually making its presence known only when it cannot be stopped. But colorectal cancer doesn't start out deadly. It develops from growths in the rectum and colon called polyps, which aren't yet cancerous. If detected early, the growths are removed and cancer will most likely be prevented.
Many leading experts say the best way to find and remove those growths is to examine the whole length of the colon using a tiny scope that allows the doctor to carefully view the inside walls. Called colonoscopy, this procedure recently gained additional prominence when TV personality Katie Couric underwent one on TV. Now two studies in the July 18 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine offer more proof that colonoscopy may be the most effective way to screen for colon cancer.
Some background: The best technique for screening the colon is a controversial subject. Some doctors advocate the use of flexible sigmoidoscopy, a procedure that looks at just the lower part of the colon and can be performed in the doctor's office. Colonoscopy, on the other hand, can look for cancers throughout the whole colon but requires anesthesia. To further confuse the issue, many doctors recommend yearly testing of the stool for blood, sometimes an early sign of cancer. This test is also very controversial.
In one study, a group of researchers used colonoscopy to screen more than 3,000 healthy male volunteers aged 55 to 75. They found early cancers in almost 10% of those screened. David A. Lieberman, MD, lead author of the study, tells WebMD that these men had no symptoms, and adds that colonoscopy is probably the only tool that could have located the cancers due to their location. Lieberman is a professor of medicine and chief of the division of gastroenterology at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland.
Lieberman concludes that colorectal cancer screening using colonoscopy is the way to go "because most lesions begin as precancerous growths that we can detect and remove and thus prevent cancer." That possibility makes a compelling case for use of the most effective screening tool, he says.
The second study in the journal attempted to determine whether the presence of polyps in the lower area of the colon is a marker for cancers higher in the colon. The researchers thought that if a lower polyp predicts the presence of a cancer higher up, then flexible sigmoidoscopy may be an adequate screening tool. The scientists analyzed almost 2,000 patients with no symptoms over the age of 50 who underwent initial colonoscopy. Twelve cancers -- eight in men -- were detected by the screening.
The scientists found that the presence of a polyp in the lower colon does increase the likelihood that the person has a colon cancer farther up. However, one of the study's authors, Thomas F. Imperiale, MD, tells WebMD that more than half of the people with cancer high in the colon -- beyond the range of the flexible sigmoidoscope -- had no polyps close to the rectum.

Intel preps 1 GHz mobile P3s
By THG Reporting Team - Source: Tom's Hardware | 0 comment
Threatened by the attention and business that Transmeta has gained in the mobile sector, Intel is aiming to hold onto to its share of the lucrative mobile chip market by introducing high-performance 1 GHz and extremely low-power 500-MHz processors early next year. Intel plans to gain chip power and performance improvement, in part, by moving from a .18 micron to a .13 micron process. Intel's general manager of the mobile platform group, speaking of the competition between Intel and Transmeta, said that Intel's "performance is superior."

So, thanks again everyone, I couldn't have done it without all you, especially Nature Girl, AJ's mom and tushnurse. If it weren't for you AJ's mom, asking me what I was gonna do about "That?" and telling me to get an army, I don't think I would have had the courage to do what I did. I'm so thankful for you ladies, it brings me to tears.

Grilled Thai Chicken Thighs with Spicy Broccoli Slaw
SusieBlock Posted: 09/28/13
Khavasutra72 Posted: 11/11/13
I loved the marinade for the chicken though I did make some adjustments. I added an additional tablespoon of brown sugar and used a wee bit less Tamari (non gluten soy sauce) as I find too much off putting. I will never used packaged slaw again. The taste was stale and almost rancid. I'll try their suggestion with fresh broccoli next time, otherwise I'll just use fresh cabbage and carrots.

Interesting fact… Smokehead whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Scotland. Had it been produced in America its name would be Smokehead whiskey, instead of whisky.
Nose: Smoke! Lapsang souchong. Cool wood smoke. Thick and full.
Palate: Big, puckering peat. Smoky, fruity sweetness, touch of sherry, sultana. Herbal.
Finish: Herbal, tangy fruits and more peat smoke!
Big iodiney peat, smoke, warming sherry and fruit influences. Youthful. Enormously fun and bold. I'd bet good money that this is a young and competitively priced Caol Ila made in the style of their sister company Lagavulin.

Howlicky was I? When I asked our local merchant what was the `peatiest`Islay he had, he produced an opened bottle of Smokehead and made me an instant convert,

I bought this on impulse on a cross channel ferry, not knowing the product I thought it might be a bit gimmicky. I wasn't disappointed though, it's a real peat monster and best of all they also sell it here!

I first tasted Smokehead when a friend bought me a bottle back from Scotland, I think this is one of the best Islay malts, superb flavour real peaty but not to sharp.

A lot of you are talking about the honor conversion/Justice Points. Understandable, yes.
But I'm I the only one who's seeing the amount of Gold potential here?
Assume you have a geared level 80 tank. A heroic is 5 to max 15 minutes work normally. For that, you get
a) Emblems themselves, which will be converted to gold ( since you can downrank them to Conquest before Cata ships )
b) Instant queues
c) Gold ITSELF from running the actual Random Heoric
d) Not to mention the amount of DE mats, BoE greens and blues
It might be so that I missed a line, but 5,5G per emblem, with 4-7 emblems each heroic, + 20 gold for running it, it comes down to around 50 + gold each 10 minutes.
Is this too good to be true?
kobelayton said...
See above, you emblems have been worth more than that for a long time. 10 emblems = a gem worth (minimum) 50g, more likely 80-100g or more. Go ahead and farm them up and trade for 5.5g instead though.

On the Alliance side, Ironforge is laid out for the sake of convenience, like a big shopping mall. The bank and AH are practically next door. The weapons and class trainers are bunched conveniently, there are several conspicuous mailboxes everywhere. Also, it features the major convenience of the train to Stormwind, in case you need to go there. For all of this convenience, I can forgive its lack of blue skies and greenery.
Travel convenience increases traffic. Moving from one half of the Eastern Kingdoms to the other, it is almost always faster and cheaper to go to Stormwind or Ironforge and use the tram, rather than take the bird the whole distance. Most people in Stormwind are moving from the bird roost to the tram, unless they are in the trade districr - the most open and accessible area there. Hardly anyone except shamans in the Eastern Kingdom trains at the trainers in Stormwind after they've reached the level where they have moved past Elwynn and Westfall.
The same is even more true of Shattrath, the hub of Outland.
Exodar might have potential to become a minor hub, once you get used to its Frank Lloyd Wrong architecture; it is laid out in a fairly systematic way. But Exodar needs to capture an orb of translocation or something, or at very minimum open up a bird path to Kalimdor.
The capital that's truly a ghost town is Darnassus. You'd think that elves would avoid urban sprawl. Though it's in a tree, Darnassus is built like a city on the plains: you have to ride to the trainer, ride to the auction house, ride to the bank, ride to the mailbox, just like it were Dallas or some such place. So trading and socializing in Darnassus does not happen.
The zones in the game I like best just to be in are Nagrand and Mulgore, with perhaps Feralas and Ashenvale tying for third.

Lawmakers eye tax breaks with yearning
Coloradans keep $2.1 billion in tax credits, and that's not (all) bull semen
By Jason Kosena
In America, tax breaks are a way of life.
At the federal level, Americans receive tax credits on such important purchases as homes and hybrid vehicles.
It's no different at the state level. In 2009, Coloradans will save on taxes when they buy farm equipment and manufacturing supplies — and also when they pay for smaller necessities such as prescription drugs, food and child care.

At taste testing, we found that grass-fed beef's mineral-like flavor is enhanced by grilling.
Cooking Light MARCH 2009
1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; sauté 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Add thyme, 1/8 teaspoon salt, crushed red pepper, and mushrooms; sauté 6 minutes or until lightly browned. Add garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in wine and soy sauce; cook 15 seconds or until liquid almost evaporates. Stir in parsley; cover and set aside.
2. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle steaks with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Add steaks to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand 5 minutes. Serve with mushroom mixture.
Wine note: To contrast the leanness of grass-fed beef, serve it with a full-bodied, soft red. Many varietals would work, but cabernet sauvignon's structure and depth have a special affinity with beef. Try the Geyser Peak Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 from the Alexander Valley of California. It's a steal at $18. —Karen MacNeil

Fracking Is Already Straining U.S. Water Supplies
Photo Credit: Wikimedia
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
As the level of hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells in the United States has intensified in recent years, much of the mounting public concern has centered on fears that underground water supplies could be contaminated with the toxic chemicals used in the well-stimulation technique that cracks rock formations and releases trapped oil and gas. But in some parts of the country, worries are also growing about fracking's effect on water supply, as the water-intensive process stirs competition for the resources already stretched thin by drought or other factors.
Every fracking job requires 2 million to 4 million gallons of water, according to the Groundwater Protection Council. The Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, has estimated that the 35,000 oil and gas wells used for fracking consume between 70 billion and 140 billion gallons of water each year. That's about equal, EPA says, to the water use in 40 to 80 cities with populations of 50,000 people, or one to two cities with a population of 2.5 million each.
Some of the most intensive oil and gas development in the nation is occurring in regions where water is already at a premium. A paper published last month by Ceres, a nonprofit that works on sustainability issues, looked at 25,000 shale oil and shale gas wells in operation and monitored by an industry-tied reporting website called FracFocus.
Ceres found that 47 percent of these wells were in areas "with high or extremely high water stress" because of large withdrawals for use by industry, agriculture, and municipalities. In Colorado, for example, 92 percent of the wells were in extremely high water-stress areas, and in Texas more than half were in high or extremely high water-stress areas.
"Given projected sharp increases in production in the coming years and the potentially intense nature of local water demands, competition and conflicts over water should be a growing concern for companies, policymakers and investors," the Ceres report concluded. It goes on to say that:
Prolonged drought conditions in many parts of Texas and Colorado last summer created increased competition and conflict between farmers, communities and energy developers, which is only likely to continue. … Even in wetter regions of the northeast United States, dozens of water permits granted to operators had to be withdrawn last summer due to low levels in environmentally vulnerable headwater streams.
Another recent study by the University of Texas looked at past and projected water use for fracking in the Barnett, Eagle Ford, and Haynesville shale plays in Texas, and found that fracking in 2011 was using more than twice as much water in the state as it was three years earlier. In Dimmit County, home to the Eagle Ford shale development in South Texas, fracking accounted for nearly a quarter of overall water consumption in 2011 and is expected to grow to a third in a few years, according to the study.
Moreover, an April report by the Western Organization of Resource Councils found that fracking is using 7 billion gallons of water a year in four western states: Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, and North Dakota. "Fracking's growing demand for water can threaten availability of water for agriculture and western rural communities," said Bob Leresche, a Wyoming resident and board member of the group.
The national oil and gas trade association, American Petroleum Institute, correctly notes that the "industry's water use is small when compared to other industrial and recreational activities." But even though hydraulic fracturing usually accounts for just 1 percent or 2 percent of states' overall water use, the Ceres study notes that "it can be much higher at the local level, increasing competition for scarce supplies."

Stress and fatigue of caring for a newborn can impact both parents.
Not in the mood? New dads also experience changes in sexual desire after the birth of a child, a new study suggests.
More from MSN Living: 10 things every dad-to-be should know
However, the diminished desire may be tied more closely to the stress and fatigue of caring for a newborn rather than to hormonal and physical changes in the birth mother, as is more commonly assumed. The findings, published online Aug. 1 in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, were similar in both male or same-sex partners.
"Our present research demonstrates that co-parents also experience variations in sexuality that relate to the very real social and relational changes that occur with having a baby," lead author Sari van Anders, an assistant professor of psychology and women's studies at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, told LiveScience.
The researchers looked at 114 partners (95 men, 18 women, 1 unspecified) of women who had recently given birth. These partners were asked to complete an online questionnaire about their sexuality in the three months after their child was born.
Bing: Sex after baby
"We found that, like birth mothers, fathers and co-mothers experience sexual highs and lows during the postpartum," van Anders told HealthDay. "High sexual desire in co-parents at this time was influenced not only by sexual interest, but also feelings of intimacy. Low desire was influenced not by partner disinterest or breast-feeding status, as more typically assumed, but by fatigue and stress."
