Avon Healthy Makeup Eyeshadow Review and Swatches
Avon Healthy Makeup Eyeshadow are currently $4.99 each so I hauled a few out of morbid curiosity to see if I liked them. Some of the shades looked really nice in the online swatches on Avon's site plus I've discovered some hidden love for cream shadows the past year or two.
If you're on a budget you might want to check these out, they are pretty nice.

Relentless search for staying power
Journeyman hopes to stick with CSU-Pueblo
by jeff letofsky the pueblo cheiftain
Published: July 16, 2014; Last modified: July 16, 2014 04:00AM
In baseball terms, he's referred to as a gypsy. The kind of player who fails to stick with one program for any number of reasons.
Cole Gilmore is that guy.
A member of the Pueblo Collegians summer baseball team, Gilmore believes he's finally found a home.
At the tender age of 21, the former All-Colorado high school player is a member of his fourth college team.

Young v. UPS is ovah!
Law360 reported this morning that Peggy Young and United Parcel Service have settled their pregnancy discrimination/accommodation case that went to the Supreme Court, resulting in this decision from last March. The Supreme Court had found in Ms. Young's favor for the most part, but remanded the case so that the lower court could make findings applying the Supreme Court legal standard.
UPS had already changed its pregnancy accommodation policy before oral argument, which took place last December. Although the amount of the settlement was not disclosed, Ms. Young's attorney said that the change in policy at UPS was an important factor in the resolution of the case.

Time to deprecate javac?
The Mustang Forum rocks on.
If you have been following the discussion forums this last week, you have seen tons of suggestions for what is important to Java developers for the J2SE 6.0 "Mustang" release. The topics have been wide ranging and the resulting discussion has pointed to a lot of deep thinking in the community.
In today's
Forums, Bruce Chapman waits for the laughter to
subside after he suggests we deprecate javac and then he
explains "5.0 has a new tool "apt" which is a better javac. It
allows us (mere mortals) to run our own code inside the
compiler which can examine the source being compiled (via
mirror API - similar to reflection or javadoc API), generate
other code (sourcecode which will then be compiled, as well as
bytecode if you have the inclination), and generate compiler
errors if we detect something out of spec."
TSinger's suggestion is "
'const' applied to methods, references are an absolute MUST HAVE
for medium-sized to large applications. Maybe one can apply the
"const" to classes/interfaces as well to enforce immutable
Opinali adds "My #1 wish for Mustang is simple: "int[2,3]
matrix". I was once in favor of JSR-83 (Multiarray package), but now
that the Java language is more open to syntax improvements, we can
just drop that JSR. We don't need a full-blown Fortran clone (BLAS
libraries, etc.) bundled with every JRE, less than 1% of Java apps
need this kind of functionality. We need only the most fundamental
feature: href="http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=1234&tstart=0#1234">
multidimensional arrays in the core typesystem."
Add your thoughts to the Mustang forum discussion.
Is it time to give up emacs? In today's
href="http://weblogs.java.net/">Weblogs, Tom Ball writes
about href="http://weblogs.java.net/blog/tball/archive/2004/10/new_tricks_for.html">
New Tricks for Old Dogs. He says that he, a NetBeans developer,
has moved over from using emacs to NetBeans for his own
development. His admission of what he's used in the past led me to
read his post about his recent move a little more carefully.
Andreas Schaefer reports the continuing existence of what he calls
a bug. Others are not so sure. In href="http://weblogs.java.net/blog/schaefa/archive/2004/10/cloneable_how_a.html">Cloneable:
How an old Bug can bite for a very long time he points out the
public Object clone() method in
Wow, it's only been out a month or so but Inderjeet Singh blogs
that "Airport Express is one of the favorite gadgets for techies." In
Resetting Airport Express he lists "the different ways to reset it
since that is frequently used (though hard-to-find) operation when
things go wrong during hacking."
Also in Java Today , Heinz M Kabutz is sharing his
version of a thread warning system in href="http://www.javaspecialists.co.za/archive/Issue093.html">
Automatically Detecting Thread Deadlocks . He writes that he
has created a "new warning system, that notifies me if we have too
many threads. In order to not get too many notifications, I take
the approach that you get one warning when we pass the thread
count threshold. If you slip below the threshold, and go above it
again, you will get another warning notification. This is the
same approach taken by the memory bean. Better would probably be
to have a high- and low-water mark. In addition, it can also tell
if there are deadlocked threads. "
One advanced topic getting more attention is bytecode manipulation,
and among the various entries in the field, the ASM toolkit is
particularly successful. Projects such as Groovy, BeanShell and
AspectWerkz now use ASM, thanks to its light weight and high
performance. In href="http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2004/10/06/asm1.html">Using
the ASM Toolkit for Bytecode Manipulation, Eugene Kuleshov
introduces an interface and uses bytecode manipulation to implement it
in arbitrary code.
In Projects and
Communities , the href="http://community.java.com/jini/">Jini community's href="http://thor.jini.org">Thor project allows "Jini services
to retrieve runtime configuration information across the network,
but allow that information to be administered in a central fashion
(i.e. an adminstrator at his PC)."

XTreme 2009/2010 in Gatlinburg, TN proved to be another amazing time for everyone who attended. Conference attendance for the session we were part of topped 6,400. If you have never seen 6,400 students, from 25 different states, joined together in praise and worship, you haven't lived yet. Messages from Tony Nolan, Ergun Caner, Matt Pitt and Johnny Hunt were both relevant and illuminating. Performances by such artists as Brandon Heath, Stellar Kart, Kutless, Casting Crowns, Newsong, and the always fantastic Unhindered (our worship leaders), were energetic, uplifting, and truly blessed by God.
We were blessed with the largest group we've taken (that number grows every year). Everyone who attended left with a new passion for Jesus Christ, His Kingdom and the ministry. The chaperones received a "double portion." We were blessed by the sessions and seeing the way God touched the students. Can't wait until next year!
We'll be adding some pics and video to give you a sample (a very small sample) of all of the Xcitement at XTreme. You would have to go to really understand the power and the energy. Enjoy and make plans to attend next year.


text: So last week I got to target, but I am still at the high end of a normal bmi. So tonight a group one lady was basically asking me why I am even here for. It really made me feel so upset - felt like I was back at school. I have worked so hard to lose the weight ( 1stone 5lb). And instead of feeling proud of all my hard work, I was made to feel like crap! I did gain a little this week, so I am now even more determined to lose it. And get to the lower side of my target. Anyone else made to feel like this?

My beverage creation is in honor of a lot of guys (and gals) who consider Mr. Burns a mentor-at-a-distance. This drink was inspired my admiration for my husband David, who is an independent filmmaker in Philadelphia. He's an amazingly talented gaffer who needs an opportunity with a legendary filmmaker like Mr. Burns.

Astoria Art Festival This Weekend
In September, BORO did a post about an open call for the Astoria Art Festival. Whether you submitted your work or not, the festival, presented by the In Bloom Collective, is going on this weekend, November 9-11, and it's well worth checking out!
More than 30 local artists ranging from painters to photographers to mixed media artists will have their work featured in local businesses such as SITE, Pachanga Patterson, and Cafe Bar. You can visit any of the locations (see a full list and map here) at any point throughout the weekend to check out great locally made art.
In addition, there will be a lot of parties, events, and openings to keep the weekend festive! Hell Gate Social will host an opening party on Friday from 9 PM-1 AM. The party will include two DJs, a slideshow featuring work from every artist in the festival, and vendors selling "Jewelry as Art." A full list of events and parties can be found here.

Artwork by Jeff Pidgeon
The San Diego Comic-Con is pushing forward with its misguided agenda of appeasing corporate interests at the expense of alienating the indie comic and animation community. Their latest bone-headed move is to increase the price of additional exhibitor Comic-Con badges to $200 each, up from $75 last year. As anybody who has ever exhibited at Comic-Con can tell you, artists typically don't earn truckloads of money at the event, and when all the costs of booth rental, travel, and lodging are factored in, the obscene $200 exhibitor badge essentially guarantees that an independent artist will leave the convention empty-handed.
Considering the Comic-Con is a non-profit, it is inexcusable to increase the price of additional exhibitor badges by 266% in one year. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the artistic community is deserting the Comic-Con in record numbers. Even successful independent artists are fed up, like Flight and Amulet creator Kazu Kibuishi, who noted on Twitter today:
"This will likely be our last Comic-Con with a Flight booth. Will continue to attend the show, but as an author, not a booth manager."
Comic-Con's strong-arming of the indie comic and animation community only lends credence to the viability of a West Coast Creator-Con, especially one that isn't operated by the Comic-Con organizers themselves. Personally, I exhibited at the MoCCA festival in New York last month and had a delightful time. It had the kind of low-key artist-oriented vibe that I would hope to experience at a Creator-Con. I also netted as much money at MoCCA as I did when I used to exhibit in San Diego, which is notable because MoCCA's attendance is roughly 1/75th of Comic-Con's.

Rated 1 out of 5 by bigfin poor fit Ordered one size larger then my size to accommodate heavy clothes and jacket was still too small. I returned jacket for a refund. April 30, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by minny Runs Small My husband is very broad shouldered and this jacket did not fit him. You need 2 sizes bigger than actual size. Jacket is also short. March 25, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Brian61 Runs Very Small I am a big person but a 3XL normally fits me nicely with some extra room. Thankfully I read these reviews beforehand and ordered a 4XL...but it still fits tight in the arms. The jacket quality for the price is great, but the side pockets are poorly placed (too high). Otherwise a great jacket, keeps you very warm in cold and windy situations. Would recommend but be very careful on sizing March 5, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ssp1975 Make sure items are made in the right country for sizing purposes Do not purchase this in big men's sizes. I have a 3xl bugaboo, purchased a 4xl and it is smaller than the 3xl. Extremely disappointed. February 15, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by WarmerRich I like it This Coat Replaced One That Simply Did Not Keep Me Warm, The Only Complaint Is It Runs A Bit Small and that it needs to be a little longer, just maybe 2 inches. I hd A Columbia coat before and it was great, this one is shaping up the same way February 1, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by 3dram8 Runs a bit small Good looking warm coat, but sizing runs a bit small. Zipper not the best quality for a coat of this price - gets stuck a lot. Removable liner is held in sleeves by a snap loop which has unsnapped a couple of times when removing the coat. Overall I would give it a B-. December 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ncradford Outstanding Jacket! I bought this jacket about a year ago and I have been very pleased with it throughout last winter and the several snowstorms that we had in North Carolina. A few weeks ago I attended the Notre Dame/Stanford football game in South Bend Indiana and the weather was miserable. We're talking 32 degree temps with 20-30 mph winds and a steady downpour of rain. There really was no reason to be outside. My trusty Columbia jacket was up to the challenge though. In the 4 plus hours we were there, I never got cold or wet even one bit. I have no idea how, but I can tell you that I sure was happy to be warm and dry. If this jacket can survive those conditions after a year of use, it can keep you warm and dry from anything! October 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by steve6328 love the jacket this jacket is great. they didnt have my size in a XXL in the color i wanted but the 3x was teh same size in big and tall. this jacket is extremely warm and not good for 50-60 degree weather. highly recommend March 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by chris75 warm coat is very warm,body of jacket fits well but sleeves are very tight from elbow to wrist. overall very happy ,wish had more room in sleeves February 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by luvuback Everything Good except the 'Hood This jacket is lightweight, highly maneuverable, and I never get overheated. I've worn it when the weather has been in the teens and low 20s but I've also been layering up w/ a sweater. Adjusting the hood is a problem. It is hard to figure out to make it fit exactly. I wish it was just 2 strings. Taking off the outer shell is easy and you have a Spring jacket. It's easy to go places with this jacket as it packs wells. I highly recommend spending the money on this jacket. February 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DocHinshaw GREAT Coat! This is a great coat. Very warm, lots of pockets. Not cheap but well worth it. I got the Buffalo. Love the color. February 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RLC66 Great Jacket Sheds water like a duck keeps you warm but not hot zippers do not jam. the liner is ease to remove and reinstal. The fit is true to size the quality is excellent. You could spend more money on a jacket but you could not buy a better one best bang for the buck. January 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by cacmpls Great coat for MN winters Bought this for my husband. This coat runs slightly smaller, so I bought 1 size larger than he normally wears. Fits well an is warm enough for sub zero MN winters. January 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BigTom Sweet Jacket I am a big guy at 300 LBs and tried the XXL on in the store and it was two small so I came on line and ordered the XXXL. It fits very well in all areas but the arms seem a bit small to me in the armpit area and the top of the sleeves guess they figure big guys arms are same size a smaller guys. This is why I said it runs small in sizing. No as far as the jackets ability to do what they say could not be happier. I have worn it out hiking on the trail in a 30°F day and had to unzip the armpits to keep me cool. I only had a base and mid layer on under it and I was fine. No we just had this cold snap this past week and I was out in -4°F with wind chills of -20°F with just a base layer and mid layer and this jacket out preformed any other jacket I have owned. Finally I never believed all the stuff people said about this type of jacket and figured I would try one to see if it was true and they didn't lie. If your out doors a lot and want a jacket that doesn't need heavy layers underneath take a good look at this one. I have not had it in the rain yet but from what I see it should do just fine. January 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Vinnichains Returned but good quality Bought the coat for my father. He's husky. The fit wasn't very good. The arms are tight. Didn't like the zipper everyone complains about either. Paid $17 to ship it back which wasn't fun. Especially when the Outlet store I went to didn't confirm I could return it there. January 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Frank2014 Men's Lhotse Mountain II Jacket This is by far the warmest jacket that I own. I live in Minnesota where the temperatures fail below (-0)F and this jacket still keeps me warm. There are so many features (pockets, hood etc.) that it really should come with a guide tag. I am a big guy that would normally need a 3XL, but I purchased a 4XL and I am glad that I did as the jacket does run a little small in the chest. With the lifetime guarantee and the comfort and looks that this jacket offers, it far surpasses any of their competitors jackets that I have owned or tried. I highly recommend this jacket. January 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by mkd63 big man sizes run small! i am 63 yrs old, 6'2" , 275 lbs., have a 46" waist , 52 chest, 50" hips, and wear a 37" long sleeve shirt. I normally would have ordered a 3xl big but I spent a long time trying to decide what size coat to get. after reading reviews on amazon and placing calls to Columbia customer service about sizing and coat dimensions I went with the 4xl even though in most mfg's coats a 3xl would have given me plenty of room. if you are at all in question between sizes ordering this coat I would go with the larger size. these coats run very small for there stated sizes! December 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by billybobOCC love it got this jacket on black friday and totally love it so many pockets and really love the zip out layer though i may try a different inner layer December 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by BubbaHusky Great Jacket - Why so small???? This is a great jacket at a great price. And with the removable inner lining - you're really getting two jackets in one. The jacket stands up to very cold weather (it's been 0 - 10 degrees in the Northeast recently - the fabric is durable and looks great. It's everything I'd expect in a Columbia jacket. However, I have no idea why the 4X is actually the size of a 3X. Who designs a jacket that way? There was a caviat that the jacket runs slightly small - but that is a joke. These jackets run VERY SMALL. Would suggest redesigning the jacket or telling customers to at least get the next size up. Also, I didn't like where the pockets are located - but not a big deal. December 18, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mark123 Very, Very small sizing I did order this coat, but unfortunately had to send it back due to being too small. The coat itself is well made and looks like it would be good in cold weather. I did heed other comments that the sizing is small, but it is VERY small. I normally get a 2XL coat, which gives me room to wear a fleece or sweater underneath, so based on other comments, I ordered a 4XL, thinking it would be fine with the inner jacket that comes in the coat (and I would not need a fleece anymore). But the 4XL fits like a normal XL size from other vendors. I have 4 other coats/jackets that are 2XL & 3XL, and this coat is considerably smaller. I don't understand why Columbia would have such a sizing difference and keep it. So, if you do order a coat from Columbia, you should order one at least 3 sizes larger than you normally wear. December 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by brswain60 Outstanding Quality I am thoroughly satisfied with the Lhotse Mountain™ II Interchange Jacket, purchased in a Big size. It's so difficult to find coats and jackets of this quality in my size, so coming across a product like this one is a real find. The fit is very accommodating, the practical features (such as plenty of pockets inside and out) are so useful, the handsome cut and style are flattering to a man of my build. Best of all the jacket is light but warm and the layering system is really versatile, permitting adjustment to suit changing weather conditions. All in all a great jacket. I'm very pleased. December 9, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Chris197474 Very Disappointed I was really looking forward to getting this jacket. It was almost identical to the very first Columbia jacket I bought over 10 years ago. It was on sale and I couldn't wait to receive it. I took the advise of others and went up a size 3X to 4X and that still did not seem to do the trick, it was very very snug. I even took all of my measurements based on their size chart and the cut and fit of the jacket. I should have had room and the length should have been longer.I have a bugaboo jacket I bought a few years ago and it does the trick, I just wanted an upgrade. This just was a huge let down. The front pockets are so far apart, on the sides of the jacket, you really cannot use them. I truly hope Columbia reads these reviews and does something about the size. It may help to actually get a big person or two and take real life measurements. This is a huge let down and I was hoping to break it in during Chicago's first arctic blast. December 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CaptChuck Compliments make me feel the money well spent. My new jacket arrived just in time for our cold-snap. Outdoors in 26 degrees, I am very comfortable and warm. I love the heat shield, easy to remove and I slim down for evening wear. Many complliments from friends and others standing in line. I am out in the early morning cold flying A Balloon Over Sonoma. Money well spent for this amazing jacket. Chuck January 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ACNJ Excellent, but ... Overall I am very pleased with my new jacket. It fits well, is light weight, and warm. The only feature it is missing that I would have liked is the type of zipper that can be opened from the bottom when zipped closed to prevent the jacket "riding-up" when seated in an auto, etc. I have a Columbia "Gizzmo" jacket from years ago that has this double-ended type of zipper and it has been very useful. January 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by DanCO Great versatile jacket This jacket is very versatile and functional. Living in Colorado, the weather is always changing, so this jacket is perfect. Layering is the key for the CO climate. The only negative is that it is sized smaller than other jacket brands, so size up. December 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave67 Luv It! Got my Christmas present early via the form of a rain/sleet/snow storm. My wife gave me a Men's Lhotse Mountain™ II Interchange Jacket – Big. Had to spend 1.5 hrs outside at 2F and 20-25mph gusts clearing the drive way. Never felt like I left the house. The Omni heat liner works. The upper neck closure and hood kept all the wind out. I normally take 2XL but had to go to a 3X for the cut used in this coat (2XL shoulder room limiting). December 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by olddog Real Nice I have two of these one in 3x and 1 in 4x the 4x fits better but other than that, they are both quality products that will keep you toasty warm and still offer very good freedom of movement. November 30, 2012

Don't buy frozen or partially frozen meat, the weight of the iceand extra water add to the price of the item
Many grocery store receipts show the amount of money "saved" by using coupons, or value cards. I save my receipts and at the end of the week or month, I deposit those grocery store savings into my savings account.
awesome way to save a ton of money on groceries without much effort...check out the web site....grocery game.com
If your trying to save money on your grocery bill then try a local Latino or Asian dominate store. My husband and I found a Spanish grocery store that has great prices on fish, chicken, and fresh turkey. The store even had marinated items for under $2 a pound and they were good quality products.Also check out local fish markets if you live near the coastline. You may have to get up early in the morning or buy some items in bulk but the savings are amazing.

Against Holiday Shopping Judgment.
Black Friday & the Consumption of Christmas.
Against Holiday Judgement.
'This commercial dog is not gonna ruin my Christmas.' ~ A Charlie Brown Christmas, 1965
If you are looking for quiet this season, remember that quiet can be sought in your heart. It comes best from releasing judgement about how other people do their Yuletide: releasing judgement about the tack and the madness, but to see in everybody that same deep and utter ancient longing for light and warmth, and an impulse to give to others.
Every Black Friday morning, every year, the morning of the day after Thanksgiving, my mother and my sisters embark on their pilgrimage to shop.
They rise in the blackness of an early winter morning, too early for any save monks and yogis or those on a pilgrimage, with a thermos of coffee and an itemized list. They plunge into the terrifying fields of pushing crowds and expectant lines. And every afternoon and evening of that day, I see news of mob behavior in a consumer frenzy, someone getting trampled to a pulp as they were vying for a Wii or a $30 DVD player. and try to imagine my family in their sweetness in that pushing mire: my mother and sisters so odd in the mix. They enter into it with a chipper cheerfulness, a happy consumer ritual.
For years, like a surly adolescent, I did not try to mask my horror. But then I started to wonder what their ritual was all about. And to understand it.
Bad Black Friday behavior arises as predictably as do criticisms about it: not only as regularly as the 'Jesus is the reason for the season' and 'Keep Christ in Christmas' propaganda, but also the onslaught of articles in 'conscious' publications advising us to resist the commercialism of Christmas.
Just as the Christmas warrior articles smack of judgement, 'ours' often do too. Yes, there are arguments of sustainability and maintaining your sanity. The idea of going to stand in a queue at a big box store at 4 a.m. freaks me out. I have the heart of a pagan who every Winter Solstice morning circumambulates a local lake covered in frost, my only company deer and chipmunks and Canada geese, whose holiday soundtrack is songs like the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance. I like this peace that I choose, but it is mine.
But there is another peace, another quiet, too. It comes from a deeper recognition that the feeling of the season is translated through the mediums that people know. We live in a consumer world, one where love is often shown through purchases, one where people want to express their deep love for their families by buying them flat-screen plasma TVs and ten-dollar Old Navy sweaters. It is love and that is the form love takes.
The frenzy comes from the fact that Americans don't have enough holidays, don't get to celebrate enough. As a pagan I have eight great high holidays a year, all equal in measure, all equally important and significant to the turns of time on this Earth. But most people have all of their main holiday joy packed in to one mad season which has to bear the holiday longings of an entire year. Please go easy on them. Recognize in them a light of love that is bent through the prism of a consumer world, one that not only mediates love for us but also gives us a common, sometimes cheesey language to express it in.
If you are looking for quiet this season, remember that quiet can be sought in your heart. It comes best from releasing judgement about how other people do their Yuletide: releasing judgement about the tack and the madness, but to see in everybody that same deep and utter ancient longing for light and warmth, and an impulse to give to others. For many of us, and I do say us, that raw impulse is translated through the media of consumerism, of the mall and the big box store. People work with what they have to work with. The understructure is still the same. These are new rituals, but they are still rituals. The old gods are hidden within them. Every gaudy light, every cluttered-up rural lawn filled with too many inflatable lighted characters (the 'Hunter Snowman' being a particular favorite in my homeland of Southern Illinois), is an effort of sympathetic magic. Try to see it that way: that all the gaudy Christmas crap is the voice of the soul's longing against the chilly darkness before Yule, every light like an ancient signal fire calling out to the Sun to stay longer in the sky. All of the 'stuff' is there because of an ancient longing for light and for love.
Yuletide is coming, it is upon us. Smile and welcome it in all its forms.
Blessed be and love, Laura

Thanks Laura, how nice to read a commentary on the consumption of Christmas that isn't itself full of self-righteous put-downs. You have stated with eloquence, the essence of yoga – not to find yet another way to create separation but to listen with an open heart to the love underlying all beings, all things.
Snowmen don't kill people, guns kill people.
Excellent drill down Laura…'there is another peace, another quiet…it is love, and it is the form love takes'. You are right, we are all long for light and for love, a communal experience to help us belong.
Love this, Laura! You offer such a clear perspective on how to honor both ourselves and our loved ones during this time of year.
LOVE THIS! I'm off to So. IL to visit my family tomorrow for thanksgiving… I'll smile and feel love when I see each and every hunter snowman… 😉
[…] shop at your local small business and receive $25 back from American Express. Farewell Black Friday, hello Small Business Saturday! Register your card […]
Love your reflections, especially, "All of the 'stuff' is there because of an ancient longing for light and for love."
[…] celebrate Christmas, but still want some yuletide cheer? Not Jewish but still want to eat awkwardly with friends this […]
[…] life seriously that I forget how helpful a bit of positivity can be. Particularly during the holiday season, which can be hectic and even painful for many of us, I thought I might share these kind suggestions […]
Thanks for this wise and insightful article.
Lets see how the family of the person who was trampled to death today at Walmart on Long Island feels about those shoppers and their quest for love and light….

Finally 3,9k. Getting here from 3,6k was frustrating which reminded me why I ****ing hated "trying".
Finally 3,9k. Getting here from 3,6k was frustrating which reminded me why I ****ing hated "trying".
small patch today - wonder what it was
been getting fun games recently - more evenly matched games
Patch is mostly cosmetics. New chests too. Sets are good for the most part. Bought 4 of each :3
- - - Updated - - -
Well, it's done. 4000 MMR reached well before TI4 :3
Was easier and faster than expected.
...and yes, there is a difference between 3,5k people and where I am now. Maybe not drastic but the overall quality of games is higher and each individual is much more skilled compared to 3,5k range.
apparently the matchmaking in china is way too tryhard hahaha
everyone smoke ganks counterwards everything - compared to the matchmaking in higher mmrs here - but i prefer that over intense gameplay haha.
i played with The King and a bunch of other pros last week and i was surprised how he didn't yell as much as he used to O=
King Raven? Last time I played with him he yelled all game, was pretty funny.
Queued with/against him 3 times in a row. He raged so much.
Sneyking lol the one true king
Yay! Got all the TI4 Immortal items.
Wow nice. Did you buy any compendium points? I'm thinking of just buying the immortals from the steam market.
its only like a few cents cheaper, i actually bought $30 of points got to lvl 114 hahah
got 14 immortal chests but i only open 3, i got 3 of the one i wanted so i dont wanna open more, just save the chests

Dr. Lowell Reynolds's Ratings
He spent less than 5minutes with me, did not look at my xrays or MRI reports, did not ask about what other medications I took or what my surgical background was and why I needed to be there. He seemed very judgmental and when I declined to use all of the modalities from his clinic since I'd already tried and failed to achieve success in the past, he ended our appt. He has no interest in just writing a prescription or helping find the right medication to help you lead a functional life...just wants to crank you though the system and bill your insurance co.

Although a lot of us call seeing any pain doctor at this Pain Center a "cattle call" because first the MA comes in and goes over the same info the Resident or Fellow who does who comes in after her. He then ask if I have any problems really bothering me, then he leaves and Dr. Reynolds walks in, but doesn't spend as much time as I would like. I have been seeing him six years now so whenever he sees me, he always says hi and calls me by my first time. I had hand surgery in May of 2009, at Loma Linda, where he is the Pain Center Director. He said he saw my name on the surgery schedule and popped his head in to say hi as I was in isolation due to having MRSA. That was a good face to see as he does my pain management post op when I have surgery at Loma Linda, and I told him to have the PCA Pump ready, and he smiles and said it would be ready. He has warmed up since I first started seeing him.

Shafer connects the latest from Afghanistan to military history:
The desecration of the bodies of Japanese soldiers was so common that in 1944, Life magazine published a light-headed photo of a young woman posing with a Japanese soldier's skull sent to her from New Guinea by her Navy boyfriend. That same year, columnist Drew Pearson reported(pdf) that Representative Francis E. Walter (D-Penn.) had presented President Franklin D. Roosevelt with a letter opener made from the forearm of a Japanese soldier.
Relatedly, Lexington counters me:
I happen not to think that the war in Afghanistan is an imperial war, but more to the point I suspect that the soldiers' behaviour in this case had nothing to do with whether it is imperial or not. Almost every war has its atrocities.
Yes, but long, long wars with constantly recycled and exhausted troops, often acting alone or in small units, is a function of empire. The war in Afghanistan has lasted longer than Vietnam. Americans are not suited for such endless occupations; and they test even the most professional military's discipline and command.

As we recently suggested, a week's worth of white dress shirts is nothing short of essential for the well-dressed gentleman. On the surface, pretty straightforward advice. But there are plenty of potential missteps when it comes to white, button-up, cotton dress shirts. Most of these involve deviating from the garment's classic simplicity. One way to ensure you don't go wrong: with this version by Raf Simons. Slim, clean, and simple, and it'll set you on the right track for the rest of the week.

That's not even a dress shirt.
Brian – I would agree with you in the English sense, as the term dress shirt has direct connotations with black and white tie, and thus has some exact specifications. Although not exactly traditional (no pocket, monogrammed), still falls under the category of dress shirt stateside.

Full Platter:
You gotta love this checkmate.
After the puzzling firing of Ann Curry from the 'Today Show,' many viewers were turned off to NBC literally: they tuned to its competitor, 'Good Morning America,' on ABC and the former show has been struggling ratings-wise to compete with the latter, since Ann's departure.
To be fair,'Today' had been struggling with ratings while Ann was there anyway, but perhaps the awkward and unflattering way NBC had forced Ann out of her role drew the attention of those who say news corporations mistreat female anchors, who must age slowly and look perfect, compared to their male counterparts (ehem, Matt Lauer, ehem).
Angelina Jolie seems to slyly agree that Ann Curry's firing was insulting.
According to Huffington Post reports, "Radar reported that Jolie reached out to Curry shortly after she was ousted from the morning show, and "made it clear" that she and Brad Pitt would not give interviews to anyone else at NBC News. "Angelina has tremendous respect for Ann because of the work she has done on bringing awareness to Darfur," a source told the site."
Interesting development. What will NBC do? If they want an interview with the biggest megastar on the planet (or thereabout)...in fact, TWO of the biggest, if you include Angelina's husband, Brad Pitt, then they'll be forced to figure out their Ann Curry situation. They can't have been feeling too great about it anyway. Ha.
What are your thoughts on the situation? Share below.

How to deal with smelly houses before sale
Who wants to live in a home that smells bad? Certainly not someone looking to invest in prime real estate. The current buyer's market makes it tough for sellers to begin with, and simply whipping out the Febreze and fresh-baked cookies won't cut it. Make smelly houses a thing of the past with these simple tips for deodorizing a property.
Down with smelly houses step No. 1 – From whence the odor?
It is often difficult for sellers to identify exactly where those moldy, musty, gag-inducing smells originate. Neeraj Gupta of ServiceMaster Clean notes that there is no specific device or gauge to point the seller in the right direction. It may even be a scent to which the owner has become desensitized.
"People get used to the odor of their house and may not notice that something is not pleasant," Gupta said.
Down with smelly houses step No. 2 – Bring in a nose
Since the owner may not even be aware of an odor, it becomes important to bring in an outside sniffer. Ideally, it should be someone without a stake in the sale whose opinion the seller trusts and has spent little or no time at the property, Gupta advises.
While it might seem logical to bring in the real estate broker you've hired to sell the home, not all brokers are going to point out that the house has an odor, as they don't want to risk their relationship with the seller. The agent may use the "I heard a comment from a colleague" method to protect themselves, so why not use someone with expertise who doesn't have a connection to the sale?
Down with smelly houses step No. 3 – Blame the pets
One of the most common sources of rancid odors in a for sale home is pets, particularly dogs and cats. While there are plenty of products on the market for dealing with pet odors, the truth is that it simply isn't going to be easy to eliminate entirely. If you're selling a property, you may need to get rid of or board your animal off-site.
"It's kind of cruel," Gupta said, "but if the pet is in the house, you're introducing new odor every day. For people who have pets, over time, it's a losing battle to get rid of the odor."
Cat urine is the worst pet odor in real estate. It seeps into carpet fibers and padding, as well as concrete, wood, upholstery and pillows. A simple deep cleaning may not be enough, particularly if the property exists in a humid climate.
"Oftentimes," Gupta said, "you have to remove the carpet, remove the pad and seal the floor, and then replace the carpet and the pad."
Down with smelly houses step No. 4 – Blame the smoker
What odor clings to furnishings, drapes, window coverings and even the insides of walls? Yes, it's cigarette and related odors. Topically applied cleansers help reduce the stench, but an ozone generator, hydroxyl generator or air scrubber may be necessary. Even then, there are no guarantees. Never allowing smokers into the home is the best way to avoid this odor.
Down with smelly houses step No. 5 – Bring out your dead and infirmed
If someone dies or suffers from a long-term illness in the home, a good airing and thorough cleaning of the common incapacitation areas will be necessary to get the smells out. However, if a violet death of a person or animal has occurred, professionals who specialize in trauma cleanup are probably best for the job. Be prepared to pay $1,000 or more, depending upon the trauma scenario and square footage involved.

As of Saturday, June 29, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
WASHINGTON -- The trial of George Zimmerman, accused of fatally shooting Trayvon Martin, inevitably and quickly devolved into a contest of who is more racist -- the victim or the accused?
The question was inevitable because the prosecution is basing its case largely on the suggestion that Zimmerman profiled the 17-year-old black kid, allegedly deciding he was a potential threat by virtue of his race.
This assumption was somewhat complicated Thursday during testimony by 19-year-old Rachel Jeantel, a friend of Martin's who was talking to him by cellphone shortly before he was shot. Sidebar: Poor Jeantel. Whether she is a credible witness will be determined by the jury, but the rest of us really ought to cut the girl some slack. She is young, obviously playing on alien turf and having a tough-enough time on the witness stand without further commentary. She may, indeed, be the best argument yet for keeping cameras out of the courtroom, but that is another discussion.
Jeantel's contribution to the race discussion included a quote she attributed to Martin when he told her a "creepy-ass cracker" was watching him. No doubt Zimmerman did seem creepy. He was following Martin after all, who, as far as anyone knows with certainty, was merely walking home from a convenience store. Does Martin's use of "cracker" mean he was a racist and, therefore, may have instigated the struggle that, according to the defense, compelled Zimmerman to shoot Martin in self-defense?
Jeantel told defense attorney Don "Knock-Knock" West that, no, she doesn't consider "cracker" a racist term. Apparently, most whites don't either. In street interviews aired Thursday, CNN found that whites are not as offended by the term "cracker" as they are by the N-word.
For the record, there's no evidence that Zimmerman ever used the N-word. He is captured on tape saying "(expletive) punks" and "These (expletive), they always get away." Is he talking about blacks? Teens wearing hoods? Burglars, some number of whom recently had been targeting his neighborhood? Only conjecture produces a strictly racist interpretation.
So what about "cracker?" Is it ever or always an insult? And what might we infer by Martin's use of it to describe his pursuer?
Merriam-Webster defines cracker as: usually disparaging: a poor usually Southern white; capitalized: a native or resident of Florida or Georgia -- used as a nickname.
But the best explanation of crackers can be found in "The Cracker Kitchen," a cookbook and story collection by novelist and proud cracker Janis Owens. It is a both a cultural defense and literary critique of the poor, white folks whence Owens (and most of us Scots-Irish) came -- an unfrilly valentine pressed between recipes for fried frog legs and baked armadillo. The daughter of a fire-breathing Pentecostal preacher, Owens traces "cracker" to William Shakespeare's "The Life and Death of King John:" "What cracker is this same that deafe our eares with this abundance of superfluous breath?"
Now there's an invective worth memorizing for future hurling.
Native-born to Florida's panhandle, aka Alabama's Riviera, Owens has embraced her crackerhood and uses the term endearingly, just as blacks often use the N-word, recovered from racist whites, to refer to one another. Similarly, Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues" includes a chapter celebrating the C-word, effectively stealing it back from those who use it to denigrate women. Reclaiming ownership of an offensive word is a revolutionary act that strips the term of its power to wound. Call it linguistic disarmament.
For those needing a refresher course, here are just a few reasons why cracker doesn't compare to the N-word. Cracker has never been used routinely along with efforts to:
-- Deny a white person a seat at the lunch counter.
-- Systematically deny whites the right to vote.
-- Deny a white person a seat near the front of a bus.
-- Crack the skulls of peaceful white protesters marching for equality.
-- Blow up a church and kill four little white girls.
Need more? Didn't think so.
Cracker may be a pejorative in some circles. It may even be used to insult a white person. But it clearly lacks the grievous, historical freight of the other.
Martin's use of the term "cracker" doesn't make him a racist any more than Zimmerman's resentment of "punks" necessarily makes him a murderous racial profiler. These words, and the case built upon them, ultimately may prove little more than an abundance of superfluous breath.

Hate is Hate. This writer seems to have the super-human ability to see inside someone's heart?? If you hate someone like Martin hated White people then there are no shades of grey.
Say_that_again 2 years, 3 months ago
Oh, that's funny! You declare that it requires a super-human ability to see inside someone's heart and then declare you have that ability when it comes to Martin! Don't you realize how (bleep) that sounds? Maybe you should look into your own heart for making such an assumption.
FordGalaxy 2 years, 3 months ago
Saying 'creepy @$$ cracker' is not racist when applied to George Zimmerman brings up an interesting point. Consider that Zimmerman was touted by the mainstream media as a "white Hispanic." He has a white parent and an Hispanic parent. He doesn't exactly look white. So apply that "creepy @$$ cracker line to another prominent American with a white parent and a minority parent: Barack Obama. Would you consider it racist to call Barack Obama a "creepy @$$ cracker?"
BufordGuy 2 years, 3 months ago
So what is the time limit that a so-called "racist" term has to be used in order to legally be considered a "racist" term and legally used to charge a "hate" crime?? Perhaps Cracker doesn't offend white people because most are not so sensitive and looking for a way to benefit from "racism"???

For some, the term might be considered a badge of honor.

When other female stars are constantly striving for physical perfection, dieting and working out for (nearly) every waking hour, Taylor Swift isn't putting herself under this kind of pressure. She explains to Vogue why.
In the February 2012 issue of the magazine, the country singer stresses that she doesn't want the focus to fall on her physical appearance, to the detriment of her music.
Partly because of this, partly because she doesn't really like it at the gym, Taylor doesn't work out that much.
Sure, she says, she does get plenty of exercise but not because she has to, but rather because she has to stay healthy and in top shape for when she goes on tour.
"I don't ever want to be that person whose self-image overtakes who they are. I am not a fan of working out that much. There's no regimen. There's no personal trainer," the singer tells the publication.
"I love to go hiking because it's an experience. If I need to gain stamina for a tour, I will run every single night on the treadmill, but I don't necessarily like being at the gym," Taylor adds.
Of course, her fans must know that she's also blessed with good genes: she's tall and slender and, most importantly, young. Staying healthy still means for her having a lot of fun.
In the same Vogue interview, Taylor also discusses her upcoming album (see here for our article on that) and finding fame at the tender age of 16.
She recalls a time when, in every interview, she had to answer questions about whether she liked to party, as if everybody expected her to fall out of clubs every night, like many other stars of her age.
"I think, for me, the bigger pitfall is losing your self-awareness. Even though I am at a place where my dresses are really pretty and the red carpets have a lot of bright lights and I get to play to thousands of people... you have to take that with a grain of salt," Taylor says.
"The stakes are really high if you mess up, if you slack off and don't make a good record, if you make mistakes based on the idea that you are larger than life and you can just coast," she adds.

|The Game Story:
| LYNCHBURG, VA - Senior attack Reed Horanburg scored off a
feed from Kevin Dennstaedt two minutes into the third overtime period to
give the Messiah College men's lacrosse team a 10-9 triple overtime
victory over 10th ranked Lynchburg College Wednesday.
The contest was tied at four at halftime and at seven after three full periods of play. After a goal from Ryan White, Hornet Charlie Enman (Long Valley, NJ/West Morris Central) scored two consecutive goals from Billy McCulloch (Annandale, VA/W.T. Woodson) to put LC ahead 9-8 with 5:04 left in regulation. Dennstaedt tied the game with 4:24 left in the fourth quarter for Messiah, and the game went into sudden-death overtime. Neither team could score in the first two four-minute OT periods, until Horanburg's tally midway through the third extra stanza, at the 2:04 mark.
Brian Kemper (Bel Air, MD/Bel Air) and Enman each had two goals for Lynchburg (3-2), while Billy McCulloch posted a goal and three assists. Brian McCulloch (Annandale, VA/W.T. Woodson) had a goal and an assist, and Kevin Reinecke (Crofton, M/Arundel), Todd Collier (Fairfax, VA/Robinson Secondary) and Ryan Quick (Charlottesville, VA/Albemarle) each had one goal. Nick Braun (Midlothian, VA/Clover Hill) made seven saves.
Dennstaedt paced the Falcons (1-2) with three goals and an assist, while Dan Videon had two goals and an assist. Horanburg scored twice, and Nat Pierce tallied a goal and an assist. Netminder Chris Gilbert made 15 saves to record the victory. Lynchburg out shot their guests 44-33 and won 16 of the 24 face-off opportunities, all taken for the Hornets by Scott McAlee (Burke, VA/Lake Braddock).
