I really like this oil. I got it in bottle form for skin and hair, but I haven't gotten to using it for that because I also got a lot of different ones and I have not gotten to using it yet. BUT I did use it for the following...
I was experiencing strange menstrual stuff. My period is usually pretty regular, although in recent months I've had these crazy symptoms. Like I've been loosing more hair than usual, nearly half of one of my eyebrows is gone, I've lost quite some weight which I can't seem to get back, and other things. Well this was the first time my period was late. It was like 5 days past when I should be getting it and I was worried, and I read that EPO could help so I took some in the afternoon, and by morning I got my friend! I was actually never so glad to be visited by mother nature haha

I've been taking these orally for the last few weeks. The brand that I brought (Cenovis) advertise it to be for Menstrual and Breast pain. I don't don't have any problem with my cycle at all. My breast on the other hand gets sharp aches from time to time. I assure everyone I've seen the doctors numerous times, numerous awkward and uncomfortable appointments, and it is confirmed, nothing to worry about, apparently it's normal.
I purchase this randomly cause I saw the word Breast Pain on the bottle, no thoughts or research, no time wasted I was taking this orally 2-3 times a day.
My breast pain didn't go away, but the burst of random sharp aches, reduced significantly. Before I would get sharp pain on a daily basis, oftenly and randomly. Now I notice it's just really random and less frequent that i actually don't remember when the last time it happened.
There was a lot of changes to my skin though, that not only myself, but my everyone around me seemed to notice.
I get acne every now and then, but not as often anymore, my face has been oily in the recent months for some unapparent reason. Anyway the acne would take forever to heal, but I notice since taking EPO, my oily face has reduce quiet a lot and the acne or any skin blemishes/cut and bruises heals a lot quicker.
I later did some research on EPO, only after about 2 months of taking it did I realise it was good for skin, menstrual cycle and hormones. Some websites did mention reduction in breast pain, but it wasn't mention as often as skin and menstrual. After doing the research, I was pleasantly surprise and happy that, my skin seems good, and my breast doesn't hurt as bad.
One side effect that was mention and I did see with myself is GAS LOL(Please don't laugh :) ). After every time I take EPO, about 20 minutes after I'm burping like crazy, even if I haven't ate or drank anything beside water with the EPO. My partner says better burping then being the other sort of gas. the burping isn't permanent, and its only after I consume the EPO, and its only happens for about 30 minutes.

This product literally saved my face! I had been getting horrible acne that was hormonal (but didn't only happen around my period- my hormones were so out of whack); I heard this helps so I bought some and yes it does! I apply it topically and had been taking it orally for about a month, but when I realized this didn't help with other PMS symptoms like cramps I stopped. I rarely get any cystic acne like I used to from my hormones so I know this is helping. I only get a few breakouts around my period now. It's a bit expensive but definitely worth it for me. I buy this brand called Barlean's that can be found at health stores & probably Whole Foods.

I've been using EPO for over a year due to horrible menstrual cramps (all my life) and a new condition that included cystic pimples on my back, horrible fatigue right before my period and visible bloating that would cause me to wear losely fitted clothing for several days. The acne was horrible, huge, itchy and worse of all...I couldn't reach it because it was on my back. I began using the capsules as a lotion by puncturring them and applying it after I bathed all over my body. I did not put it on my back because It's Inaccessible but I didn't have to apply it directly to notice the results. The pimples were diminishing, the fatigue went away immediately, my bloating (looked like muffin top) went away and my cramps got sooooo much better. I told my doctor and he said is was regulating my estrogen levels but naturally. The birth control pill is suppose to be a form of estrogen control but it's engineered whereas EPO is natural (Proestrogen). A bonus is the way my overal skin feels, soft and luminous. I am extremely happy those huge cystic pimple on my back went away and now a year later I have NONE. I knew it was hormonal and I did not want to take birth control because of the side effects. I told everyone at work about this miracle oil. And as I read other posts, I will begin to apply it to my hair. Taking the pill orally helped the cramps and the pimples, but applying it directly to the skin does more wonders on me. So as a result of taking it:
-No more backne (back acne)
-No more horrible premenstrual fatigue
-No more visible bloating (bye, bye muffin top)
-No more hourly long cringging menstrual cramps that turned me into a basketcase and made me cry.
Hello.....I'm using this oil forever!!!
I hope this helps some poor soul out there trying to find a cure for her ailments.

Recently after a breakout from a horrible sunscreen I used a balancing gel that helped so much that it dried my cheeks to a rather nasty flakey texture...uh oh! Out of desperation (no rosehip oil left) I decided to split a capsule of Evening primrose oil to apply topically to my face and have continued to do so nightly for the last few months. I only use a half a capsules worth on my face after cleansing and rub the remainder of the oil into the skin around my elbows. What I have found is that not only is the oil extremely nourishing and easily absorbed but it leaves my skin silky smooth and glowing the next morning. The extra bonus is I am noticing my skin is looking plump and some of the more pronounced smile lines are shrinking ever so slightly. The oil does not break my skin out or congest my skin and is so reasonably priced! I pay AUD$19.95 for 400 capsules, originally purchased for balancing pmt symptoms...double happiness! I suggest giving it a go, I am loving it!

Ok, Now I am reviewing using EPO as a topical treatment for skin and hair,
I buy it in capsule form, each capsule has 1000 mg unit .. I use one like 3 times a week.. I put it underneath and around my eyes as well as mouth , only need have then I use the rest for the ends of my hair as a hair serum.
Results : it is THE BEST Moisturizer there is for skin and hair. I cannot begin to describe the effects on my hair , I have oily roots and dry ends , no serum or conditioner gave me this result before.. The oil heals my hair without weighing it down as if I put on some magical natural potion on it.. I think it is like actually putting sebum on the ends it so resembles body fat , that your living cells accepts it so readily.. the shine and sheen it gives to hair is unmatchable also .. I have started this routine with my hair and my hair is thanking me for it , i message lavander and castor oil at roots and leave overnight ( friday night) so next day is weekend , and i message on ends two capsules of EPO at the same time , when i wash my hair next morning , the shine, smell, strength and managebility is out of this world.
Now for the skin: It brightens and plumps skin, effects are not always the same , i think it depends on how moisturized your skin is to start off.. It does sooth the skin and does not clog pores , you only need half a capsule , more than this would be too much for your face , the rest you can use on your elbows, hands , feets or on your hair ends if you have dry , split ends like I do..
I have tried skin capsules that irritated me , were more expensive and caused me acne.. this is a great moisturizer and i believe with time it diminishes wrinkles and lightens age spots however, I only started using them for 10 days now I can't be the judge of that. will log on for updates in the future with god's willing.

I'm not sure how to rate this - I guess it depends on what you want out of it.
What I did: I started taking 500mg 2-3x/day with meals. I'm using Nutraceutical Sciences 500mg softgels with GLA. I've taken it about 2.5-3 months.
Why: My hope was that it would help with the hormonal acne along my jaw/neck.
Result: It didn't help my acne at all. What it *did* do - instantly - was eliminate the bust soreness I get right before/during my TOM. It also made my periods shorter/lighter and decreased my cramps. Curiously, though it helped relieve all of my physical symptoms except my acne, it seemed to worsen my usual PMS-y emotional issues.
Conclusion: While I was pleasantly surprised by the physical benefits I don't think I'll buy it again since a) I'm mainly concerned with fixing my acne and b) I'll take some physical discomfort over emotional discomfort. However, if you're having super heavy periods/cramps/bust soreness, I would give it a try. Be aware, though, that it affects everyone differently since everyone has different balances of hormones, so it might not work for you.

I tried taking this to treat my PMS symptoms because I'm getting older, have lighter periods, and generally have more homicidal tendencies (not *really*) and breakouts the week before getting my period -- as I write this, I'm 33. Also, having already tried birth control pills for hormone regulation, and having been through surgery twice in three years for breast cancer diagnosis, I decided to try something more...eh... "natural". I already take omega 3 fish oils and like the effects very much, and despite some reports that omega 6 causes acne for some people, I decided to give evening primrose oil capsules a try. I took it for a week and broke out all over my lower cheeks, jaw, hairline, and back. Of course, this did nothing to alleviate my moodiness. If I had taken the capsules for a few months to give them time to actually work on my mood (assuming they do), I may have turned into a walking skin cautionary tale. I remember taking evening primrose oil during my teens and breaking out horribly too... so maybe nothing has changed, much... or maybe my PMS went away in my late 20s and came back like a ghost from my adolescence in my mid 30s, which means I changed and then quicky changed back! Meh.

I bought a bottle of this a while ago for PMS issues. It did nothing to help. I think a bottle of ibuprofen taken a few days before (as soon as you start to experience symptoms) is more effective, along with staying away from caffeine.

I have been using Evening Primrose Oil for over 6 months now. My skin has been through every acne treatment, including Acutane, on the market (only gave me temporary relief of acne). My skin was thinned out from the Acutnae side effects, the ice cold winter where I live has weakened my skin, and all the terribly designed acne cleanser I have tried have all but dried out my skin and damaged it. After revamping my skin care switching to sensitive skin based products I saw an immediate change. But I wanted to treat myself not only on the outside, but the inside as well.
I picked up EPO as a treatment for my temperamental acne prone skin because it is known to be very soothing, plumps skin up, reduces acne, reduces nearly eliminating cramps from PMS, it is even know to cure many ailments. It is supported my numerous independent studies as being perfectly safe, very few side effects accompany EPO, often times user will not likely experience them. Such side effects can be bloating or digestive related, but are rare. I myself, thankfully have experienced nothing but the positive effects of EPO.
PROS: (1) I used to suffer from sever cramps during PMS that would have me in bed or kneeling over a toilet sick. This has reduced my cramps that would last anywhere between 24-48hours to a mere 3-4 hours of moderate bearable cramps. (2) definitely reduced the inflammation from my acne, in combination with Blue LED light therapy (Tanda System) my acne has almost all but clear. (2) skin texture is smoother, pores refined, almost all minimal lines have been reduced to nothing.
Cons: none
BRAND: Flora. Efamol Pure Evening Primrose Oil.
INGREDIENTS: Efanol Evening Primrose Oil- 1000mgs
Linoleic Acid (LA)- 700mgs
Gamma-Linoleic Acid- 120g (12%)
Vitamin E- 272IU
DOSAGE: I take 1 every morning in combination with other supplements to keep my skin look better. I also use Zink and Cod Liver Oil plus a multi. A few days before my monthly cycle I take 2- 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening to ensure I don't have to go through tough cramps. I do this for about 5 days then resume single dose. By the way, I started using Cod liver oil and zink about 3 months after starting EPO, so I know it's the EPO giving me the great results, the other two have bolstered and strengthened them.
Happy Shopping :)

Desperately Wanting by Better Than Ezra Songfacts
Lead singer Kevin Griffin wrote this about his pledgship into Kappa Sigma fraternity at Louisiana State University (LSU). The lyrics make a lot more sense if you have pledged a fraternity. (thanks, Matt - Lafayette, LA)

Oh yeah, almost forgot!!! All you frat boys are on here talkin up some big words. For the record I think frat boys are just a bunch of children trying to overcome their own anxieties about leaving mommy and daddy by cuddling up together in a little house where they can be close to one another! Reach down, grab your pair (if you can find them) and join my fraternity... The USMC, where the real men go to work!
Dan - Loveland, Oh
I am sorry but everyone who is saying that the song is about a frat is completely full of crap. Yes, he was a part of your frat., but saying that song is about his experience there is like me saying Zzyzx Rd. by Stone Sour is about the military because the lyrics fit to a T. I am a former Marine who served during the war in Iraq and that song described the feeling you have just before a combat deployment so well I had to find out if it was a tribute to the military. Of course, its not! It's about the pressures of living on the road and overcoming personal issues. It is a coincidence that it translates to the military so well. This song is the same way. The following is an excerpt from an interview with Kevin Griffin.
And what of "Desperately Wanting," the 1996 hit that reached No. 10 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock charts? The one widely rumored to be about Griffin's experiences with the Kappa Sigma fraternity at LSU?
Not true, said Griffin.
"Jim Payne (touring keyboardist/guitarist) and I were in the Kappa Sigma fraternity at LSU," said Griffin. "For some reason it got out that 'Desperately Wanting' was about being a pledge, but the reality is it had nothing to do with that. But all around the country, whenever we play it, guys in their [Kappa Sigma] shirts love it."
Dan - Loveland, Oh
You people are idiots. EVERYONE from Louisiana claims to be bff's with people in this band and I'm sure most of it is an utter load of crap most of the time. Similar to people always claiming to be so tight with famous people in general. I find it hard to believe that this entire song is about pledging a frat, and if it is, I dont believe its portraying that in a happy light. Being pumped full of drugs doesnt exactly seem like a trip to the fun place. Certain lines in this song insinuate a different meaning. I'm not going to speculate on the meaning of this song in general, I just think its a great song. I'm certainly not going to take the opinions of people who may know people who may have had a freaking cheeseburger with a bandmember one time or those who are just pushing a freaking faternity's agenda. Till I hear a meaning explanation from someone in the band themselves, I'll just continue to listen and enjoy. If anyone can show me some form of documentation other than some random poster's opinion that Kevin or anyone from this band tryign to explain the meaning of this song, I'd love to see it.
T - Baton Rouge, La
Look for all you who are haters and are NOT Kappa Sigmas you'll never truly understand what this song means but to us who are Kappa Sigmas we know what it truly means and we feel it everytime we listen to this song.
A~B LSUS, Mu-Omicron
Joe - Shreveport, La
You are all wrong. He was actually trying to join Sigma Kappa (the sorority). He was "desparately wanting" to be a girl. How do I know this? Because I used to be his best friend until he got famous and forgot about me.
Phil - Tulsa, Ok
Ok For those of you who are not Kappa Sigma's you have no idea what you are talkn bout and he did make it in and the song bout when sumbody died is A lifetime so if u aint a Kappa Sigma quit waisting your time " you'll never Know " and i am a Kappa Sigma
Justin - Katy , Tx
ok for the moron from oregon that thinks this is AGAINST pledging Kappa Sig you are greatly mistaken the Band members ARE KAPPA SIGMA since you are not kappa sig you understand nothing behind the song. To Kappa Sigma Brothers this song has alot of meaning behind. First of all im from Louisiana and im a Kappa Sig and its also isnt talking about drugs its about "some things you'll never know"
James - Ruston, La
Hey as long as their song talks about why NOT to pledge Kappa Sig it's all good. Rush Sigma Pi for an honest good time! Sigma Pi till the day I die!!!
Stephan - Grants Pass, Or
Jonathan from Plano, TX. You may want to check on some of your facts. The "gay kid" that was killed in Laramie, Wy. was Matthew Sheppard and he was murdered in 1998. 2 years after the album containing this song was released. There is no way the song has anything to do with Matthew Sheppard's murder.
Nate - Alexandria, Va
when i was living on the wonderful gulf coast and going to lots of BTE concerts i heard that this song was about a former band member/good friend who suffered from depression and took his life. whatever it's origin, it's a song that has deep emotion that's easy to engage...it's helped me thru tough moments in life.
Joanna - San Francisco, Ca
Actually you are all wrong this song is about the laramie project where a gay kid was killed.
Jonathan - Plano, Tx
This is a song about their time as Kappa Sig pledges. Good ole days at LSU when Muphy's was still around.
Elizabeth - New Orleans, La
Funny...here I though that Kevin got into Kappa Sigma...oh wait he did. I've drank with him. Good guy, and as the song says "some things you'll never know"
Probably wont check this board again so email me email@example.com
Tom - Orlando, Fl
This song has nothing to do with an old friend. The guy was pledging kappa sigma at lsu anf=d got kicked out. He is singing about how they haze people and do drugs. I guess you are not from the south.
Emily - Alexandria, La
Actually, the song is about when they were rushing a fraternity at LSU. Any good Louisianian knows that story!!!

Apr 4, 2012The Legend of Dead Kel is an almost perfect DLC - a long, engrossing adventure full of new stuff. There are some weaker missions and the main character isn't the most interesting one, but the overall high quality casts a bright light on those minor flaws. I recommend this DLC to all Amalur fans.
Apr 5, 2012It's clear they had as much fun making The Legend of Dead Kel -- a big, bawdy adventure that's loaded down with loot -- as I had playing it.
May 16, 2012TLODK offers a rather poor package. The main quest, mildly disinteresting, will keep you company for about four hours (side quests included), the level cap is unchanged and only two new types of creatures are added (not counting the four bosses of medium difficulty). [May 2012]

Oh wow, watching those skill videos, it looked so much fun. I'm making a Thief now, for sure. I'm sorry for questioning your coolness!
The thief does seem really fun to play and we have more info now that the profession has been officially revealed. My only gripe is the weapon selection. I mean, the thief can only use 6 weapons in total. Even taking into account the fact that a skill depends on both items you hold in your hands, that seems less than a lot of other classes. I think they could also have given the thief axes, maces or a torch offhand.
You should not forget, that you can steal "environmental weapons" from each foe in the game. This way you gain an enormous amount of "extra skills" (like a fear attack from a "skull steal" off an Ettin or a "healing potion" from a stolen Pirate's bottle)
I don't want to watch the justin.tv stream again, but IIRC the Thief hardly had any problems with Energy due to his initiative bar replenishing very fast, when he stepped out of combat for a short while. Balance issue compared to other classes?

Gaile Gray: "See Gorani's post, I note several ideas that might be doable and that seem very logical."
Interesting question and I thought a bit about it at first - I think using the energy pool for only certain things actually lends credibility to the class; let me explain:
I think it works well since they're not relying on their energy pool for their profession's primary weapon-based skills, and since they're squishy, having more energy available to dodge/roll away from an attack makes the 'evade' mechanic a lot more tactical, while leaving them with a real advantage as that is basically *all* they use their energy pool for (aside from heals, etc.).
I think I may end up preferring this to maxing out an attribute like dexterity and having an evade skill that triggers based on a roll of the dice, for example.
That initiative can be spent and recharges at a rate of 1 pip/second seems to be where they might be able to adjust/balance the amount and frequency of enter/spend/retreat imbalance that might creep in over time, if that becomes a problem. "Thieves seem to be too fast and have an unfair advantage when it comes to spamming skills - let's adjust the recharge rate for initiative to 1.5~2 seconds/pip and see how that affects things.
Anyway, it's just different. I see initiative as being a little bit like adrenaline in reverse (it doesn't take time to initially build up, but once it's gone you'll have to wait a bit to get it back).
tl;dr - I'm not immediately concerned about any kind of unfair advantage since they're using their energy pool for something that actually seems to compliment their play style quite effectively while having their own limitations built-in.

Not to pick nits, but the term mercenary simply implies you have no sworn allegiances, you're for hire to the highest bidder. Assassins can have allegiances - one might be the King's personal hitman, for instance.
Mercenaries can be any profession. One could, in fact, be a mercenary assassin without being redundant. Or a mercenary thief, soldier, wizard, chef, what have you.
I am also finding the profession's name, 'The Thief,' to be problematic. It's a rogue, through and through. Stealths around and attacks from the shadows? Check. Ranged and melee attacks? Check. Picks pockets? Check.
Thief is but one role they play. If they want to avoid the cliche of the term 'Rogue' in various RPGenres, go with a more synonymous term that sums up *all* the good stuff.
Like 'The Rapscallion' or 'The Scoundrel,' heck, 'The Scamp,' even.
So far I see a profession name that sounds an awful lot like a one-trick pony when in fact it's far from it.
I'm not a fan of the profession name either.
Forgot which video it was, but energy did drain quite fast with all the evading and judging around, so energy potions might be necessary for the thief. The player kept using them as well to replenish.
Or it was that he just had a small pool to work with due some circumstances? (Level, traits, whatever)
Dunno. When a class exists that specializes in 1 on 1, it would stink pretty royally if some classes ended up being unprotected against it in a pve world where you can conceivably run around on your own.
And team-based pvp might be more engaging if you had each member able to spec around defending themselves against specific types of attacks.
That said, with half your skills coming off of your weapon choice, I'm not sure how you'd even begin to prep for that.
Can't wait for more info on pvp to emerge, then we will know a lot more for sure.

Abandoned Farmhouse
"Abandoned Farmhouse" is a poem by Nebraska writer Ted Kooser, first published in 1980 with the collection Sure Signs: New and Selected Poems.[1]
"Abandoned Farmhouse" is a descriptive poem that describes a farmhouse previously occupied by a family, including a man, a woman and a child, according to the narrator. The poem begins by describing the man based on clues found lying around the house, such as large shoes, a worn Bible, the size of his bed, and his poorly cared-for fields. The poem then goes on to describe a woman living with him, based on more clues around the house, as well as evidence of a child. It continues on to describe the state of the farmland, with its poorly maintained field and "leaky barn." The poem ends by describing the state of the farm now, abandoned and overgrown.
Throughout the poem, the narration is limited exclusively to inanimate objects strewn about the farmhouse, which offer clues regarding the farmhouse's previous inhabitants. The narrator notes an object and then points out that it "says," or offers evidence, about the now-gone family. For example, the shoes say the man was big, and the lilac wallpaper says there was a woman living in the house as well, and the sandbox and toys signal that a child used to live at the farmhouse.
The narration is also completely in the past tense. Never is something described in the present, but rather as a reflection for what has already occurred. Thus, the poem invites multiple interpretations based on the reader's take on the inanimate objects or evidence.
The poem is in open verse, with simple diction, and no words have more than three syllables. The poem has three stanzas, all with 8 lines. The items tell the story of the events of the family. Even though the items do not "speak," the reader gains an understanding about the human story behind the abandoned farmhouse. The poem invites a literal interpretation instead of relying on symbolism or allusion.
The poem is written with a checklist of items scattered around the farm, leaving the reader to deduce what has happened. One interpretation is that the man failed to maintain a good farm, so his wife left him with their child. Another possibility is that the man was abusive to his wife and child. At the very least, the evidence points to the man being lazy; the text says he was "not a man for farming." The reader may also surmise that the wife was hard-working based on the description of the bedroom papered with lilacs on the walls and the canned tomatoes and plum preserves. After enough negligence from the husband, the wife left with the child.
Other interpretations might argue that there was disaster, such as a tornado. Another interpretation might be that the man left the family in haste.
Deductive reasoning[edit]
Deductive reasoning is coming to a conclusion based on the gathering of evidence. In "Abandoned Farmhouse," the reason the farmhouse is abandoned must be reconstructed deductively by both narrator and reader. The poem is inconclusive and left up to the reader to decide, but some possibilities may be drought, or natural disaster such as a tornado. The main reason it is inconclusive is because although we may assume the family is poor, all their belongings are left behind, such as canned food and the child's (or children's) toys. It is curious that the narrator assumes that the woman left (in line 19), making no mention of the man and the child, which opens up new doors that perhaps the husband had died or fell ill. Ultimately, the poem is written such that the reader cannot reach a definitive version of events for how the farmhouse became abandoned.
Historical context[edit]
In the American 1980s, the farming crisis that existed created a huge impact on farming families' lives, in both economics and relationships. According to the website "The Eighties Club" this relates to the economic forces in farming which negatively influenced the Midwestern agricultural sector, such as dropping land values up to 60% as well as overseas trade restrictions with the former USSR.
Economic commentator Hugh Sidey described the crisis this way: "We are talking about people who want to give birth and grow old and laugh and die, bonded and sustained by the soil, which is the oldest way of life Americans know. The farm economic crisis has become...a cultural crisis unique in our history. It is beyond bank loans and government subsidies. It is in people's hearts."
The crisis resulted in reports of increase in divorce, child abandonment, murder, and suicide. These events may play a part in painting the picture of what the times were like in the Midwest when Ted Kooser wrote "Abandoned Farmhouse."

Leesub Sirln, the most inappropriate Star Wars figure of all time.
Earlier this year I upped my nerd ante by starting to collect Star Wars Cantina figures. Most are pretty fun and creative, others are just plain strange. Then there is Leesub Sirln, a great toy for any young collector. Hasbro? Where are her pants?
Oh it gets worse.
What happens when she drops her drink?
I really hate to turn into one of those blogs butt...
Yikes! Can you imagine being a Chinese toy maker/painter. What a production line that must have been!
The box states, "Includes Droid Part!"
I really don't want to know what she does with that!

I never seen her before in Starwars cantina scene...did she appear in the new hope?
- Bubbashelby said...
I almost got that one when I saw it due to it's oddness.
They are truly running out of figures to make. Stay tuned in 2011 when we get action figures of the grip, best-boy and teamsters who worked on A New Hope! - 9:25 AM
- Jay Amabile said...
f'n hysterical post! lmao. I didn't see anything wrong with her until she turned around and started bending over. What a lousy whore! lol. That "droid part" is actually a coveted female pleasure machine only available in the red light district of Tatooine, which is the only planet where it's not outlawed.
- Dan said...
LEon, She's in the Cantina, in the back, behind the guy in the orange space suit.
Bubba; Thats a great idea! You need girps to make scenes authentic.
Jay; Thank you for going where I wasn't going to go. - 9:32 PM

Her name with the letters re-arranged spells Lesbians Rule.
- Not that there's anything wrong with that. - 11:42 AM
Just to clarify, it actually would spell Lesbins Rule cause there's no "A", but I think we get the picture. This coming from the guys who came up with clever names like Darth Sidious, and General Grievous.
-Nathaniel. - 7:02 PM

OMG, this is a joke right? how did Hasbro dared to do such a thing, I can't imagine any parent buying this for his/her child. It would be like giving them Generic Cialis and letting them alone... bad move.

Apparently, this WP article says that trying to debunk a myth might actually end up reinforcing the myth via repetition. "Myth-busters, in other words, have the odds against them." I wonders, how do we debunk a myth without actually repeating the myth itself in the process?
By promulgating the truths that contradict the myth. I'm sure that there is room for science there, but people are going to have an easier time remembering a positive declarative statement than a complicated one. So dependent clauses and negations are bad (unless you're a politician).

How far out on the fringe is Obama on Keystone XL?
82 percent. EIGHTY-TWO PERCENT. That's almost as high as the percentage of people who believe Elvis is really dead. You can't get 82% of people to agree the sky is blue these days!
Clinton and Bush. Business and labor. Congress and the media. All on one side.
And then on the other side, way out on the fringe with his hardcore radical leftist friends, we have Barack Obama, current president of the United States.
How on Earth did we get here?

Exhibition history
There has been uncertainty in the past about the correct dating of the Stirling and Edinburgh sketchbook. A.J. Finberg, who was unaware of Turner's trip to Scotland in 1834, dated this book to 1831;1 a suggestion followed by most subsequent writers.2 The book was first dated to 1834 by Gerald Finley who matched some of the sketches to events described in Robert Cadell's diary.3 David Wallace-Hadrill and Janet Carolan, despite their suggestion that the book was used on both tours, noticed that sketches of Bothwell must be dated to 1834 as they include a church tower that was not built until 1833 (folio 31; D26319).4 This led them to the conclusion that the sketches of the Falls of Clyde must also belong to 1834, and that the sketches of Glasgow could have been made in either year. The tentative nature of their conclusion was expressed in their question, 'how far in book CCLXIX does the 1834 element extend?'5 The question continued to plague Wallace-Hadrill who later found evidence that the Glasgow visit must have taken place in 1834 as the Bridge of Sighs (Tate D26391; Turner Bequest CCLXIX 69a) was not built until 1833.6 In an unpublished manuscript about the itinerary of the 1834 tour he concluded that the sites he had previously attributed to 1831 were in fact sketched in 1834.7
The sketchbook can now be firmly dated to Turner's 1834 tour of Scotland and placed into proper sequence alongside the other two sketchbooks he used on that occasion: Loch Ard (Tate D26667–D26747 complete; Turner Bequest CCLXXII) and Edinburgh (Tate D26096–D26258 complete; Turner Bequest CCLXVIII). The tour was undertaken at the behest of the publisher Robert Cadell who had commissioned Turner to prepare illustrations to various works by and about Sir Walter Scott; see Tour of Scotland for Scott's Prose Works 1834 Tour Introduction.
This was the first sketchbook that Turner opened in Scotland, which was not until three days after his arrival at Edinburgh on 15 September. Setting off by coach from Edinburgh on the morning of 18 September, Turner arrived at the town of Lanark and headed south to the Falls of Clyde. His sketches suggest that he started at Bonnington Linn, and then went to Corra Linn, before returning to Bonnington and then Corra again (folio 1 verso; D26260). He seems to have been particularly interested in Corra Castle which he may have sketched from one or both of the suggested viewing points: 'a semicircular seat [...] upon the verge of the cliff opposite the Fall, where he will have the best view of this fascinating waterfall' and from Bonnington Pavilion, built by Sir James Carmichael in 1708 and at one time containing a wall of mirrors which reflected the view and framed it in an appropriately picturesque manner. He had been to the falls before in 1801 when he imagined them as the setting for Mark Akenside's poem Hymn to the Naiads: The Fall of the Clyde, Lanarkshire: Noon – Vide Akensid's Hymn to the Naiads, exhibited 1802 (Walker Art Gallery, National Museums Liverpool).8 In 1834 Turner had a different work of literature in mind: Walter Scott's novel, Old Mortality (1816), which is partially set in the area.9 This must therefore have been the first subject that Robert Cadell had asked Turner to sketch as a potential illustration to Scott.
From the falls Turner headed north-west up the Clyde to Milton Lockhart, the house of Scott's future biographer John Gibson Lockhart near Rosebank. Lockhart's diary shows that Turner dined at the house that night, and he may have stayed there as the next morning the writer and artist went together to Craignethan Castle,10 which was to be another illustration to Old Mortality as the model or stand-in for the imaginary Tillietudlem Castle (see folio 14 verso; D26286). Perhaps heading off on his own, Turner proceeded to the village of Douglas, where he sketched the ruin of Old Douglas Castle and the new mansion that stood nearby, before drawing the interior and exterior of St Bride's Chapel. These sites feature as locations in Castle Dangerous (1831) so were presumably visited for illustration to that novel by Scott (see folio 21 verso; D26300). From Douglas Turner headed north to the town of Bothwell to draw the Castle and bridge for another possible illustration to Old Mortality, which deals with the battle of Bothwell Bridge (see folio 26; D26309).
Turner's next destination may have been Stirling. On the way he stopped at St Ninian's to the south of the city, from where he sketched the distant Stirling Castle with St Ninian's church in the foreground (folio 45 verso; D26344). He also took the opportunity to sketch the battlefield of Bannockburn from near the village of Borestone (folio 46 verso; D26346). This may have been considered as a possible illustration to the first volume of Scott's Tales of a Grandfather (1828), which included an account of the battle (chapter 10). Arriving at Stirling, Turner made numerous sketches of the castle, as well as the church and the ruins of the Mars Works (see folio 44 verso; D26342). While the city has relevance for Scott's novel, Waverley (1814), Turner's main object may have been to gather sketches for an illustration to volume 23 of Scott's Tales of a Grandfather: Stirling circa 1834–5 (Glasgow Museums).11 Turner headed north to Dunblane where he sketched the cathedral (folio 57; D26367), before heading west to the town of Doune to sketch the castle as a possible illustration to Waverley (folio 52 verso; D26358).
Callander was Turner's next stop and his base for excursions to the Trossachs. At this point the Loch Ard sketchbook became his principal sketchbook, though there are a few sketches of Callander and nearby sites in the present book (see folio 35; D26327). Turner passed through Doune and Dunblane again on his journey east. His next sketches were made at the town of Dollar where he stopped to visit Castle Campbell (folio 70 verso; D26393). Continuing east Turner sketched Rumbling Bridge (folio 43; D26339) on his way to Kinross. He here visited Loch Leven, sketching the castle (folio 73; D26398) for an illustration to Scott's novel The Abbot. This was one of the few illustrations that Turner actually got the opportunity to make to Scott's novels, though the commission came not from Cadell, but for Fisher and Co.'s Landscape – Historical Illustrations of Scotland and the Waverley Novels: Lochleven Castle circa 1835 (whereabouts unknown).12
The final part of Turner's ten-day tour was to Perth; this is recorded in the Loch Ard sketchbook. Back in Edinburgh on 29 September Turner picked up the Stirling and Edinburgh sketchbook once again for a sketch of 39 Castle Street, the former home of Sir Walter Scott (folio 40 verso: D26336). The sketch formed the basis of a watercolour: No.39 Castle Street, Edinburgh circa 1836 (Pierpont Morgan Library, New York),13 which was engraved as the title vignette for volume IV of J.G. Lockhart, Memoirs of the Life of Sir Walter Scott, 1839.14 He now opened the Edinburgh sketchbook for the first time, using it during a two-day tour around Peebles, St Mary's Loch, Selkirk and Melrose. His next sketches in the Stirling and Edinburgh book were made on 1 October when he drew Edinburgh from St Anthony's Chapel on Arthur's Seat (folio 89 verso; D26431). These sketches were used as the basis of Turner's illustration to the first volume of Tales of a Grandfather: Edinburgh from St Anthony's Chapel circa 1834 (whereabouts unknown).15 His final sketches are also of Edinburgh, this time from Calton Hill and were probably made on 4 October which is likely to have been his final day in the city before setting off for London by sea (folio 79 verso; D26411).

Comments about Natural Balance Indoor Ultra Indoor Formula:
I have 3 cats and never knew the best dry food for them. Then, I brought home a rescue cat. The gentleman I dealt with knew all about cats, grooming, and best food. This was the food he recommended hands down. I feed to my cats (leave out for them 24/7) and wow, they just thrive on it. Cats are healthy and their coats are shiny. What else can I say? If you buy this cat food, you will not be sorry.
Comments about Natural Balance Indoor Ultra Indoor Formula:
After we switched to this food for our 3 cats, the litter box was noticeably less full and didn't smell quite so bad. It's true that if you feed your cats healthy natural cat food they will produce less waste. I didn't believe it until this Natural Balance cat food proved it to me. Cats eat it all up, and leave no crumbs. Ultra Premium is a hit in our house!

« Prev | Note K. Diversity of Opinions as to the Theology… | Next » |
K. [See page 235.]
We have presented the system of the Tübingen school under its most moderate form, as it is set forth in the last book of Baur, "Das Christenthum der drei ersten Jahrhunderte." Tübingen, 1853, pp. 43-151.
The book of Schwegler, often quoted by us, "Das Nachapostolische Zeitalter," (Tübingen, 1840,) is much more arbitrary in the use of internal 500 evidence. His fundamental idea is, that the Christian doctrine of the third century was formed by successive transformations of Ebionitism. Another disciple of Baur—Ritschl—in his book entitled, "Entstehung der altcatholischen Kirche," (Bonn, 1850,) starts from a hypothesis quite opposed to that of Schwegler. In his view, the dogmatic system of the third century was not formed by Ebionitism, but by Paulinism, the normal development of the doctrine of Jesus Christ. He supposes Judæo-Christianity, on the other hand, to have been smitten with absolute dogmatic sterility, and those of its adherents, who did not fall in with Paulinism, to have formed the Ebionite sect—a party in the rear of advancement, and not the nucleus of the Church. A second edition of this learned work has just appeared, in which there is a very perceptible modification of the author's views, more especially, however, with reference to the teaching of Christ, No one can place M. Reuss's learned book, "The History of Christian Theology in the Second Century," (2d vol., Strasburg, 1852,) under the banner of the Tübingen school. The author, whose conscientious works we have already often mentioned, appears to us to have made too many concessions to the system, which supposes a complete ecclesiastical and dogmatical polity in the first century. He has exaggerated the difference between Judæo-Christianity and Paulinism. The great complaint which we make of M. Reuss's book is, that he misconceives the unique, exceptional, and creative character of the apostolic theology. We have endeavored to show how we can, with the Church of every age, admit this without falling into mechanical theopneustics. The work of Schmid, "Biblische Theologie des N. T.," (Stuttgart, I853,) has been a useful aid to us, as also Neander's "Apostolic Age," 2 vols. The portion of Schaff's book, which refers to apostolic doctrine, (pp. 606-638,) is only an extract from Neander.

Georgia sends $1.1 billion in exports to Columbia, Korea and Panama. Republicans and some business groups say, those exports stand to rise now that Congress has approved trade deals lowering tariffs on the nations. Georgia chemicals, machines and transportation equipment are among the items that could be the most boosted by lower tariffs. But some labor unions are skeptical.

Cameron Howlett started giving away advice for ask an expert week about three or four years ago.
He realised that there were a lot of consumers out there that had financial issues and needed advice but couldn't bare the concept of walking into a financial planning office or even talking about their finances.
"It gives them access to good quality financial planners. To people who know what they're talking about rather than family or people that surely shouldn't help people manage their finances," he said about the campaign.
But Howlett takes his generosity to the next level and provides free consultations in his office from time to time.
"Someone comes in and I look at their situation…and I can't justify charging them a lot of money."
"I know what I do helps people because I can see it. We model out what is important to each client…when you go through that process with people you'll see what we are doing is helping them. There is value in advice."
His service is based on an upfront fee for service, then an on-going fee for service - dollar-based fee calculated at an hourly rate - and he holds this as the main reason why he's never been busier.
He said people were searching online for Fee For Service financial advice practises – which he has been for a number of years.
"The first thing they tell me is that they wanted a financial adviser and tried it but something's wrong with it; the offices are trashy, it's not in their best interests…predominantly from how advisers are charging clients."
He said it was unfortunate that it took government regulation to achieve the right fee model.

I'm glad Cameron sees himself as working for his clients. everyone else sees him as an AXA products salesman. Who's the boss?
The best way for the public to value advice is for us to continue to give it away for free? Somehow I disagree. Can't justify charging them a large fee after looking at their situation....perhaps let them know this and they can walk away. If you can demonstrate the value as described then why would you give away free advice....unless you are a charity which is totally acceptable. Sick of the amount of people (a bit like yesterday's post) that have the 'only way of doing business' yet when the surface is actually scratched there is a few holes in the logic. WP I think you may just be antagonizing us.
I just wanted to add a couple of notes to this. Firstly, I charge a fee for service upfront to my clients and secondly a fee for service on an ongoing basis - which is a dollar based fee (calculated as an hourly rate) and not an asset based fee. John, good point re dealer group arrangements - this is why I have most recently established my own license, which we are transitioning into very shortly. Enjoy your day everyone.
I always tell consumers to read the person's FSG. AS long and as boring as it is, it tells all. Cameron, sounds like you have the right idea as far as fee for service..only the concept of giving it away for free goes againt this ? John accuses you of being an AXA product flogger..and your FSG reads like any other AXA agent.
