Background TV may pose health risk to kids
Mon, 01 Oct 2012 14:25:09 GMT —
The exposure to background TV noise could have an impact on your childâ??s development, a new study suggests.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina Wilmington found children take in an average of four hours of background TV every day, meaning the TV is on, but kids arenâ??t necessarily watching it.
The study also finds lower income families and African American children were exposed to as much as six hours a day.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says too much exposure can harm social play and cognitive functioning in children under the age of 2.
The study is published in the journal Pediatrics.

Re: Big vs Small
The brook across the way from my house has a good population of native brookies. Most are smaller than 6" and a fully mature fish is around 9". I don't go bother them often, but they're fun to play with sometimes.
Pan fish are a regular sport with me and I regularly harvest them to eat.
The bigger ones are easier to clean than little ones, but it's the smaller ones that need to be culled out to improve the population. I don't keep bass, so if I'm out to fill the stringer, I'm after a "mess" of small ones
Striper fishing is often "Big vs Small". The different year class fish just don't hang with each other. Some people (newbies) are just interested in catching fish, but if all you're picking up are dink 14 inchers it's not going to get any better and you need to move. Even if you're catching one after another.
After all, there are "more fish in the sea"
The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements. --- Horace Kephart

Next year marks the 20th anniversary of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and this Three Stripes trainer created to commemorate the occasion. The adidas Originals LA Trainer has been building its momentum for a potential celebration in 2014, but you don't have to wait to get your hands on this classic peg-cushioned adi-trainer. Three new drops include two traditional colorways, one of which had hit select European retailers earlier in the spring. The other also has a USA lean, which leaves one of the trio to explore something a bit more contemporary with pink accenting navy blue suede. Check out all three after the jump, then grab your choice from Titolo.

Max Factor Vivid Impact Highlighting Mascara Reviews
Nope...Ok, if you REALLY want the color to show up from this mascara, you have to use the tip of the brush and dip it in and out of the mascara and line each lash. If you don't do that then... well good luck getting any color on your lashes, oh and the normal color mascara Sucks! I would recommend using a different base entirely. — 7 years, 11 months agoBon_Bon | 522 reviews
pink and blacki thought, wow, black, of course, with pink tips, GLAM<3. but no. you get a good lush fringe from the black side, but the pink doesnt show on it. and it takes away some of the depth of the black, instead of adding intrigue. not a bad product, just not a wow result. [easy off.] — 8 years, 5 months agocorizotti | 550 reviews
Good for a hint of contrast, not as advertised.The mascara in these don't do that much for length and volume. It is mostly about color. The base coat goes on well, but if you are looking for the high contrast that the advertisements show, you will be disappointed. I found that the highlighting topcoat just added a sheen of color which shimmers and sparkles but is more noticed when you are moved or in sunlight. An eyelash comb is useful to ...read moreget out any clumps since you need to put it on thickly to get a good shade of color. It is reasonably priced and there are a good range on colors. Overall, I enjoyed this mascara but for me it loses major points for the advertising which makes you think that there will be a lot more contrast with this. — 7 years, 10 months agoTwoBirds | 284 reviews
Nothing DifferentThis mascara would not be my first choice when shopping for a mascara. I found that the rubber wand did not distribute the mascara evenly. Also, the highlighting colored shade did not show up at all. — 8 years, 5 months agochanceuxlilas | 326 reviews
Golden glamourI purchased the brown and gold duo. I like how the mascara wand nicely separates the lashes to coat evenly. The gold accentuates glamorously. Makes for a nice mascara for a special event, or a fun night out. — 4 years, 9 months agoReflxnsOfGrace | 11 reviews
So Much FunI bought this a couple years ago, threw it in my makeup collection and forgot about it until recently. I have the black/ silver combo and it's so much fun. The silver really stands out. After I put on the black base I will put the silver on backwards, then just the tips normal way. It looks really good. I wish I had used this sooner, because now I can't find it anywhere. I'm going to have to hunt it down on line. — 6 years, 5 months agoCountryGirl78 | 93 reviews
Yuck!Clump Clump Clump! The highlighting stuff just makes your lashes lighter! — 7 years agolaura_nicole_mcguinness | 38 reviews
VIVID??Not so much.. I purchased the black and pink combo. The black went on nicely, then I applied the pink, again I applied the pink. But I never got the look I was going for. I even asked my friends if they saw any hint if any other color than black on my lashes. They all said NO! I am only giving it a 4 because I liked the black portion. — 7 years, 11 months agoDanigirl_77 | 2 reviews
Fun to experiment withThese are fun mascaras to try out. I originally tried one (Blushing Blue) had a blue base and a pink highlighter. I was so disappointed because the pink was not a visible pink, just something that made my lashes not so dark, and the base color wasn't as blue as I would have liked. So I used up the blue anyway and cursed Max Factor. Recently I decided to give these another try based on blogger Clum...read moreps of Mascara's results, plus they were on clearance for $5 since Max Factor won't be selling in America anymore. I'm glad I gave these another chance because the two I have now, Burning Bordeaux and 24 Karat Brown are great. Burning Bordeaux has a red-brown base with a reddish-pink highlight. 24 Karat Brown also has a brown base but with a coppery-gold highlight. Both these shades are clearly visible and are a cool and funky change. The base coats are not very noticeable on black lashes but you can tell that its not just black mascara. Also they did not seem to be particularly lengthening or voluminizing but they do leave you with clean, defined lashes ready for the highlight coat. I did not experience any flaking either. — 8 years, 1 month agoMarasy | 104 reviews
Maybe not for me...What an amazing concept to add some fun to your eyelashes! I do think this product works in general, however, it kind of looks silly with my skin tone. It would definitely be for a night out, not at all a daytime mascara! :) — 9 years agogreakasaurus | 111 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

Channel 4 attacked over 'biased' Mid-East film
Channel 4 has been criticised for featuring a series of "one-sided" and "distorted" television programmes about Jewish and Muslim relations.
Last week, seven 90-second films entitled Can Jews and Muslims ever find peace? aired as part of the 4Thought series. It is broadcast every day on Channel 4 in the evening and is also covered on the Channel 4's website.
The episodes included clips from Christian student and "friend of Israel" Sam Hailes, Muslim musician Kareem Dennis, and Roberta Moore, head of the English Defence League's Jewish division.
Other participants were Muslim interfaith worker Suna Umair, Israeli Jew Yael Kahn, Jewish performance artist Danny Raphael, and Muslim convert Paul Salahuddin Armstrong.
Channel 4 has received six complaints in total, three claiming the programmes were pro-Palestinian and the rest accusing them of being pro-Israel.
Mr Dennis, also known as Lowkey, said in his film: "I believe Israel is largely to blame for the lack of peace in the Middle East. Zionism in its essence is a supremacist ideology. It's definitely a racist ideology."
In her film, Yael Kahn, who left Israel in 1991, said: "Palestinians and how Israelis were treating them - it is like the Nazis. My experience is that Israel is an extremely racist state.
"They call us Arab-lovers as if it's the most disgraceful thing you can be. This is like antisemitism that was in Nazi Germany. In that sense Israeli society is very much like a Nazi society."
Responding to Mr Dennis's film, Jack Welby, from Edgware, said: "It wasn't balanced and was very anti-Israel. I was very offended by it."
Another Jewish viewer from Glasgow, who did not want to be named, said: "I saw the first episode and thought it really demonised Israel. I felt worried because of the distortion.
"It was one-sided and presented a very odd history. It left out important things. I felt angry watching it."
Mark Gardner, of the Community Security Trust, said: "It is appalling that Channel 4 would broadcast these highly provocative views over more representative and less extreme views."
Jon Benjamin, chief executive of the Board of Deputies, said: "This programme has a fantastic opportunity to inform and educate the public on a wide variety of issues, and one would expect Channel 4 to ensure that they offer balanced debate instead of skewed narrative."
A Channel 4 spokeswoman said: "Given the ongoing, deep-rooted conflict between Israel and Palestine, the strand raises the question of whether Jews and Muslims can ever find peace.
"Contributors for each themed week are sought to reflect as broad
a range of views as possible on a single subject.
"Context and balance is provided by the range of contributions across each week. It is worth noting that across the week, the majority of contributors believe it is possible for Jews and Muslims to find peace."
Earlier this year, the series featured seven episodes about Jewish mothers, featuring comedian David Schneider and harpist, Lucinda Belle.

While our door has always been open to an assortment of friends and family–including during the holidays–this past Thanksgiving was the first time one of my high-schoolers wanted to invite the current "boyfriend" to share our feast. Having mastered the serene smile and nod that becomes a main tool of the mom of teenagers, I took a deep breath and said, "Sure, we'll be eating at 3." There was the brief moment where I felt as if I must be trapped in a situation comedy–since I was preparing dinner for my three teens, my ex-in-laws, and now, this new boyfriend, but then I realized it was just an other inevitable milestone in the evolution of my family.
By now, I've seen dozens (if not hundreds, times three) of friends and boyfriends and girlfriends come and go across the threshold of my house. Some have come to be like auxiliary kids, knowing their way around my house as well as they do their own, others disappeared from the social circulation as soon as I'd finally mastered their names. But, this meeting and welcoming a boyfriend/girlfriend feels a little differently–for both myself and my kids.
I treat the boyfriend/girlfriend just as I would any other friend or peer that my child may bring home. I am not so old that I don't remember my own anxiety and expectations of bringing friends and "more" home to meet my parents so I try to offer my kids the courtesy I craved. I do not bring out the baby pictures, or offer up embarrassing stories, and I try to avoid calling my child by pet names while the "one" is around (I try, sometimes things just spill out!). I remember taking dating and my social life rather seriously when I was sixteen and seventeen, so I resist the urge to comment on the "cuteness" of the bumbling couple. The fact is, it feels like a positive privilege that my otherwise snarky teenager wants to bring this person home to meet me and I am interested in preserving our connection–not doing things that may cause her to stop including me in her life.
Do I like everyone my children bring home? No. But I believe that unless there is a severe safety concern, I keep my mouth shut. Not only do I exhibit politeness and respect, I expect my other children to do the same when one of their siblings brings somebody home. That can be a little more challenging to enforce, but as my children age, they just have more social skills and "get it." I know that by expressing any negative opinions or concerns that may be bubbling within me, I will likely only create distance between my child and myself and, possibly, give the relationship more power than it needs to have.
This brings me to my final lesson of experience–avoid getting involved in the drama. As many of you know, teenagers are all about changeability and drama. By taking the position of pleasant, polite, removed mom, I'm not going to let myself get sucked into the middle or drawn up into the drama of teenage romance. If the last couple years are any indication, I'm sure I will be meeting plenty of boyfriends/girlfriends and if I let myself get either attached, or embroiled things will get messy and my relationship with my child could be at risk. My rule is to treat this person exactly as I would any other friend my child includes in his or her social life and keep a healthy distance, while staying open and interested. All that said, I just hope I can continue to keep the names straight!

Planning and Implementing Online
Many organizations spend a lot of time and effort evolving policies, processes and workflows to ensure that their organization is being effectively governed. But how can they be certain that these governance practices are actually being implemented?
Unfortunately the consequences of poor governance can be severe. Risks can unknowingly reach unacceptable levels, time can be wasted on missed and remedial actions, and reputations can be tarnished.
In most cases, people at the working level implement governance practices directed by managers. Managers need to ensure that relevant people know what they have to do to make governance effective. Then they need a reporting means to know that what was required has actually been done.
In many cases, managers are forced to rely on verbal assurances that governance activities have actually been completed. However many people do not know explicitly what they are responsible for and what they need to do, when and with whom. This lack of clarity makes it extremely difficult to give an accurate report against what they had to do.
TASKey Me2Team web and mobile software makes governance activities easier to communicate, implement and report. All governance tasks can be concurrently managed, so managers can see governance progress in real-time.
Users receive a consolidated list of all the To Do's they need to do. So users can focus on completing their To Do's knowing that no governance To Do's are missed and that ticking a To Do as complete will automatically update reports and notify relevant people of significant changes.
Me2Team makes governance more transparent and timely for all internal and external stakeholders. Plus an audit trail is generated, so effective governance can be demonstrated at any time.
Me2Team has a powerful templating capability that makes it easy to create templates of governance processes and team workflows from scratch or from existing processes. Templates can also be shared with other organisations, so best practice processes and workflows can be implemented.
More information is available at www.taskey.com.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Trailer: The White Wolf Returns
Subscribe to 95.7 KEZJ on
Geralt of Rivia returns in 2014 in the final chapter of CD Projekt Red's epic trilogy. It's looking damn fine, too.
In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Geralt will have an entire open world to explore with multiple regions begging for monster hunting. There's a dynamic world, combat and weather. Most importantly there are so many graphics you guys. The Witcher series has always been something to behold, but CDPR is taking things up more than a few notches with this third entry. What's more, the PlayStation 4 version on display here looks nearly impeccable. Did you see that fire? How about that forest? Or the anything else on the screen because, holy smokes, is Witcher 3 gorgeous.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be out on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC sometime in 2014. We can't wait.

KEVIN COSTNER is happy to dress up for his new TV costume drama – but he draws
the line at costume parties.
The Oscar winner said: "I'm not a guy who likes Halloween, so I'm a little at
odds with what I've chosen to do.
"I never liked going to a party dressed up as a pirate because I guess once
you get that initial, 'Ooh you're a pirate', then you feel a little silly
for the rest of the party."
However, when he is doing it for the cameras – as he does in his first TV
venture, the five-parter Hatfields And McCoys, about the 19th-century US
family feud – it feels fine.
Costner explained: "Putting on the guns, letting the beard go, getting the
pipe, that is fun. You kind of look at everybody and you wink, you go, 'Man,
I have one of the great jobs in the world'."
British actress Sarah Parish also stars in the series, which was nominated for
16 Emmys this year.
The Cutting It star says it took time to adjust to acting alongside Hollywood
superstar Costner and fellow co-star Bill Paxton.
She said: "We were all stuck in the same hotel. It was a surreal and bizarre
experience to be having your eggs on toast next to Kevin and Bill every
"And I got to be Kevin's girlfriend for three months!"
The series begins tonight on Channel Five at 9pm.
– A WEIRD documentary will shed light on a fetish which sees adults
live like babies. My 15 Stone Baby, on C4 this autumn, explores why they
dress in onesies and have nappies changed.

Key components specific to youth employment and internship programs
Local and national examples of best practices in youth employment
Registration for the program will start at 9:30 a.m. Please plan on arriving no later than 9:45 a.m., as we will start at 10:00 a.m. sharp.

Good Deal on Shells at Academy Sports (Southeast)
Was in Academy today and noticed a good deal on shells for those of you who bird hunt or shoot clays. $2.99 a box for Remington ShurShot Heavy Dove (2 3/4", 1 1/8 oz., 7 1/2 shot). I picked up four boxes and plan to see how they shoot. Any experience with these shells?
Also saw a guy getting a great deal on an Remington 870 pump. He got the gun for $209 along with a free aluminum hard case worth about $60 (promotional deal they have going on). I told him about the $25 rebate, and he got even more excited. I'm sure he's online right now downloading the coupon.
Gun control should just be about hitting your target.

In S. TX it is the load of choise with all that I bird hunt with. In fact I often shoot skeet with it and I normally shoot in the 18-22/25 range. Here in Houston it sells for 3.49 per box. That is a great price for a good load. I'll check tomorrow and see if that sale is on here too. It may just be a regional sale to introduce the product up there. The Acadamys' here have an entire row of these stacked 3' high nearly rear round so they must be pretty popular.

No better dove load exists than 1 1/8 oz of hard 7 1/2s. If the shot in these is hard, it's a barnburner for Dove. But that's a big if....
Hard shot is more expensive, antimony runs up to 6%,I hear, in trap loads. Softer shot not only spreads more(not necessarily a bad thing) but the more easily deformed pellets lose energy faster.
The Rem heavy dove loads I've shot did fine, tho I went one choke increment tighter than I would with trap loads, my dove load of choice for the last decade or so has been the red AA trap load. IOW, in a situation where Modified choke would shine with trap loads, a Full tube would approximate the same pattern with these.
Another place where these would shine would be on quail, at least Eastern style close hunting.8s might be a better choice, but it's a close call...
It sounds like a good deal, thanks for posting it...

South Carolina Alligator Deadline June 15th
The deadline to apply for the public alligator season this year is fast approaching. The S.C. Department of Natural Resources will accept online applications for this year's public alligator season until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, June 15. After this date, a randomized drawing will occur to fill 1,000 permits allowing hunters to take one alligator each during the upcoming alligator hunting season.
More than 100,000 alligators live from the Midlands to the coast of South Carolina. The regulated removal of alligators will not threaten the population. Hunters took 362 alligators during last year's season. All alligator hunters must have a South Carolina Hunting License, a S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Alligator Harvest Permit and an Alligator Harvest Tag in their possession while afield.
All alligators taken must be tagged immediately and reported to the DNR. All applicants must be 16 or older at the time of the hunt to be eligible for an Alligator Harvest Permit; however, youth are allowed to accompany a permittee during the actual hunt. This hunting season does not allow the shooting of unsecured alligators, even on private land. The alligator must be secured using approved equipment and brought boat-side or onto land before it can be dispatched.
Applicants for the alligator hunting season must apply and pay online through the application available on the DNR's website. First time users of this system will have to create a new user account to continue with the application process. Remember your username and password, as it can be used to conduct other online business such as applying for turkey tags or renewing a boat registration.
All applicants must pay a $10 nonrefundable fee to apply. If selected, an additional $100 fee for a permit is required, and each hunter will be allowed to harvest one alligator. Unsuccessful applicants will accumulate preference points for future alligator hunt drawings.
The coastal plain region of South Carolina has been divided into four alligator management units, and 250 permits will be issued for each unit (1,000 total). Applicants can select the option to be considered for 1, 2, 3, or any of the units, but the permit issued will only allow them to hunt in one unit per season. This year's season will begin at noon on Sept. 12 and end at noon on Oct. 10. Hunting may take place at any time of day, but most alligator hunting generally takes place during the evening.
Only alligators 4 feet or greater in length may be taken. Others may assist or accompany the permitted hunter, but all participants must either be licensed South Carolina hunters or under the age of 16. No alligator hunting is allowed on public lands such as Wildlife Management Areas (except in navigable waters normally open to the general public for hunting), state parks, or federal properties like national wildlife refuges and their jurisdictional waters.
DNR will host a series of optional seminars beginning in late July for those selected for the alligator season that will include vital information to conduct a safe and successful hunt. DNR will closely monitor these hunts and the harvest and regulations may be modified for future seasons.
DNR protects and manages South Carolina's natural resources by making wise and balanced decisions for the benefit of the state's natural resources and its people.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - On Tuesday, February 28th, the "Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index" (WEAI), will be launched at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. The WEAI is the first ever measure to directly capture women's empowerment and inclusion levels in the agricultural sector. Women play a critical role in agricultural growth in developing countries. Yet they face persistent obstacles and economic constraints, limiting further inclusion in the sector.
The Index is a partnership between the US Government's Feed the Future program, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) of Oxford University. The index will be used for performance monitoring and impact evaluations of Feed the Future programs around the world. It has been piloted in regions of three countries so far - Bangladesh, Guatemala, and Uganda.

Wheelock Family Theatre Presents OLIVER!, Beginning 1/25
Adapted from the novel Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. Book, music, and lyrics by Lionel Bart. Directed by Susan Kosoff. Musical direction by Jon Goldberg. Choreography by Laurel Conrad. Scenic design by Anthony Hancock. Lighting design by Franklin Meissner, Jr. Costume Design by Charles G. Baldwin.
Charles Dickens's England was not an easy place to be left on your own. Oliver, a young boy with no apparent family, learns quickly how unwelcome children can be in a world rampant with poverty and hunger. Lionel Bart captures perfectly the boisterous, comic, and tragic characters of Oliver Twist, infusing this classic tale with a feast of memorable songs. Lighter in mood than the original novel, the musical's themes remain the same: the search for love, the triumph of right over wrong, and the hope for a better world.
In a directorial twist, the role of the clever criminal, Fagin, in the Wheelock Family Theatre production of "Oliver!" will be played by WFT co-founder and co-artistic director, Jane Staab. A vital member of Boston's theatre community since 1961, Jane has been Wheelock's resident Equity actress as well as the casting director. As the casting director, Ms. Staab has been a part of launching many professional careers, including Larry Coen, Diego Arcienegas, Cheryl McMahon, Andrea Ross, Andrew Barbato, and Katherine Doherty.
Ms. Staab received her B.S. and training from Northwestern University, after which she went on to become a professional actor, working with the Hartford Stage Company, California Shakespearean Festival, and Roundabout Theater, among many others. Jane has worked in television, film, and radio, with companies including PBS and WGBH. As a director, Jane has done extensive work with the Harwich Winter Theater and Wheelock Family Theatre. Her productions include Fiddler on the Roof, A Little Princess, and Once Upon a Mattress, and she has appeared in numerous shows at Wheelock including Belle of Amherst, Peter Pan, The King and I, and last year's The Wizard of Oz. Jane teaches theater classes at Wheelock College and is a skilled actor coach, pianist, and percussionist.
In the role of Fagin, Jane portrays a woman living as a conniving, thieving man. The historical instances of women passing as men are not few; history is full of such people, particularly in the 19th century during the time of Dickens. Throughout the Civil War women often assumed the names and identities of men and fought in battle for patriotic and economic reasons. Billy Tipton, a notable jazz musician and bandleader, lived his entire life as a man before being discovered as biologically female upon his death. In the media, films like the recent Albert Nobbs about a woman living as a man to attain independence and equality publicize these people on a larger scale. In Oliver!, Jane draws on countless women who pursued equality and opportunity living their lives passing as men in order to add a new dimension to the character of Fagin.

Division Head, Innovation and Measuring Progress (IMEP) and Head of Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI)
A simplistic interpretation might suggest that countries have substituted public funding with private resources. On the contrary the evidence shows that the increase in private expenditure did not occur at the expense of public funding. In addition, public funding for tertiary education increased in the same period from an index of 100 in 2000 to an index of 138 points in 2009 across the OECD. Countries such as the Czech Republic, Korea and Poland have seen increases for public funding to more than 180 index points.
The growth rates of public and private expenditure to tertiary education institutions are quite different across countries. Some countries combine high growth rates for both public and private expenditure, such as Austria, the Czech Republic, Mexico and the Slovak Republic. In other countries public and private expenditure have dissimilar growth patterns: Denmark, Portugal and the United Kingdom combined a higher than average growth index for private expenditure with a lower than average growth index for public expenditure for tertiary education.
With different growth rates, both public and private expenditure on tertiary education institutions increased between 2000 and 2009. However, the variation between countries in the relative proportion of private expenditure remains very high, from the Nordic countries with 10% or less private expenditure, to the United States and the United Kingdom with around 60% and 70%, respectively. Private resources have added to public expenditure, and at the country level, a higher level of private expenditure in tertiary education is not associated with lower chances for students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access tertiary education.

What are Chrome nightly builds?
I'm trying Craig's template element example: http://www.sitepoint.com/html5-template-tag/ and it doesn't work.
The article says it's supported in Chrome nightlies, but my version of Chrome tells me I'm up to date.
Once I switched from a template element to a table element to code worked.
The nightly builds represent the bleeding-edge of Chrome development . You get access to the latest features as they're introduced into the codebase, but sometimes not all of the bugs have been ironed out, so it's really aimed at developers who want to play around with features that will be making their way into the regular Chrome builds in the future.
You can download Chrome Canary (which updates with the nightly builds) here, and it can be installed alongside the regular version with no problems.

I have a swelling about two inches broad, just left and back of my labium majorum that when squeezed feels like a collection of lumps.
I was told after one sheepish poke from my doctor that this was a fatty cyst; however it has been growing slowly since I noticed it 2 years ago.
When is it worth getting this checked again or clear removed--and what sort of doctor can do a surgery for a cyst in this location?

The French AIDS prevention and information org, Aides.org has come up with another scary poster campaign to remind people of the dangers of AIDS.
Their last campaign used dying super heroes, and the campaign back in 2002 starred a Dick-head (literally.)
Dick says: "Condoms are like a good bath, when you are inside, you don't want to get out"
Another recent campaign was the February 2004 set of posters with Aids fashion accesories.
No more pussyfooting about these images show just how deadly unprotected sex can be.
Aides Spider sex - or is that the black widow?
Aides scorpion sex - ouch!
Hat tip to Researcher.
Comments (5)
I don't get it. What does a Sleestak from "Land of the Lost" taking a bath have to do with AIDS?
Those be some strong visuals. Any idea what the copy says there? It's too wee to see.
ah...cheers. :)

Mohe Travel Guide
Last updated by fabiowzgogo at 2017/6/18
Mohe Overview
Mohe in Heilongjiang Province, located at the northern extremity of China, bordering Russia, is the prefecture which has the highest latitude in China. Mohe is nicknamed "China's Arctic Town", and it is the only place in China where people are able to enjoy the atmospheric phenomena of the aurora borealis and the midnight sun. The best location for tourists to see these marvelous spectacles is in Arctic Village.
Mohe Prefecture is located to the north of the Greater Hinggan Mountains and on the south bank of the Upper Heilong Jiang ('Black Dragon River', also known as the Amur). Being surrounded by splendid mountains and rivers, Mohe is famous for its picturesque scenery.
The Heilongjiang, which gives its name to China's most northerly province, is the great boundary river between China and Russia. It is the 11th longest river in the world and the third longest in China (its source is in Mongolia and mouth in Russia). The river is first called the Amur in Mohe in Mohe (upstream it is known as the Argun), and its water is clear and fast-flowing. Along its banks, the scenery is charming and wild. You can see a large stone tablet there, on which there are four Chinese characters which mean 'the northern end of China'. The ancient forest around Mohe is dense with trees. This is the place where tourists like to make their camping expeditions.
Mohe is famous for its historical relics from the time of the Qing Dynasty (1368–1911) and the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1937–1945).
Mohe is also famous for its abundant natural resources. Mohe has more than 100 years of history in gold mining. The "Golden Path" and "Rouge River" are famous gold mining areas.
Mohe is home to many rare animals like sika deer, wild boars, brown bears, snow hares, pheasants, sables, roe deer, reindeer, red deer and others. Mohe is a great place for hunting and fishing. The cold water fish in Heilong River are highly commended by international tourists. Mohe also has plants used for brewing wines and other drinks, and there are more than three hundred kinds of valuable herb medicines there, which contribute a lot to Chinese medicine.

"In America the ice-storm is an event. And it is not an event which one is careless about. When it comes, the news flies from room to room in the house, there are bangings on the doors, and shoutings, "The ice-storm! the ice-storm!" and even the laziest sleepers throw off the covers and join the rush for the windows." – Mark Twain, "Following the Equator"
Listening to the pitter patter of ice on the windows, we just got word that the IMA will be closed again on Wednesday. What about you – are you hunkering down at home or braving the elements? We've started a Flickr group called "Through your Lens" and want to see your photos of the storm, whether it be your backyard, a decimated shelf at a grocery store (here's a pretty hilarious – and revealing – post from a St. Louis store), or your cozy indoors. And we might, just might, post a few of our favorites on the blog. Here's one courtesy of IMA staffer Emily:

Bronx Natives Boogie Down in Brooklyn at the West Indian Parade
By Isha Thorpe, Bronx Journal Reporter
This year's West Indian Day Parade was another big hit, with thousands of people coming from all over New York City to join in the festivities. Set in Brooklyn, the parade inspired people from Manhattan, Queens and even the Bronx to come and represent their origins in the Caribbean. With its bright, festive colors, body swaying, foot-tapping music and great Caribbean food, the parade made an impression on all that attended.
Located on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, the parade really started hopping on the corner of Nostrand Avenue.
On the left, a beautiful Trinidadian woman struts her stuff down the parkway. On the right, Haitian drummers beat to the rhythm of the music and sing at the top of their lungs.
This Haitian marching band, with a variety of drums, trumpets and shakers in hand, gets the parade jumping! When asked about the parade, a Bronx native, who wanted to be known as Shemar, replied, "I know plenty of people that live in the Bronx who attend the parade." Asked what country he represented, Shemar said, "I represent Jamaica all the way" and that his favorite part of the parade was "when the Jamaican float came by."
A man representing both Trinidad and Jamaica shows off his snake to the camera.
This colorful participant was one of several leading men at the West Indian Day parade who had all spotlights on them as they walked alongside floats. Beautiful!
A Vincentian man shines a huge smile for the camera as he walks with the St. Vincent and the Grenadines float.
A parade participant poses for the camera.
Repping Guyana and Jamaica hard, these Guyanese and Jamaican parade dancers back it up and show people how they really get down!
Grenadian dancers wave the Grenada flag with pride as they dance down the street.
Well what do you know? Senator Chuck Schumer pays the West Indian parade a visit!
Another amazing set of wings walks down Eastern Parkway.
Caribbean members of the National Association of Black Accountants joined in the festivities as well.
Even Ronald McDonald showed his support at the parade, waving both an Antiguan and a Trinidadian flag. I'm lovin' it!
Great costumes, music and dancing weren't the only things that attendees of the parade had to look forward to. Delicious Caribbean food was on offer down Eastern Parkway.
And there you have it! Brooklynites weren't the only ones partying at the West Indian parade, with the other boroughs joining in. Perhaps one day, the parade can come to the Bronx. Until then, it looks like the Boogie Down will have to keep taking the party to the BK!

Ohio Congressman Questions Whether Navy Yard Was Undersecured To Save Costs
The shootings at the Navy Yard near the U.S. Capitol on Monday has lead Ohio Congressman Mike Turner (R-Dayton) to question whether the facility was properly secured.
"Shortly after this tragedy occurred,an Inspector General report was delivered to Congress that cited failure across the Navy security system for access to these type of facilities," said Turner. "It said the people that worked there were at risk and in fact cited 52 felons who had been able to get through the system inappropriately."
Turner, who serves on the House Armed Services Committee, has requested that the Inspector General answer whether the Navy implemented an unproven security system in order to cut costs.
"We want this audit to be public so that we can begin the process of reviewing did this contribute and did it have an impact on what occurred yesterday," said Turner.
Turner's congressional district includes Wright Patterson Air Force base near Dayton.

He says questions will be asked by Congress on why and how the suspected gunman Aaron Alexis got into the Navy with a background of violent behavior.
"Congress is returning to Washington today, and part of our oversight function will be to review this individual and also the system that is currently in place," said Turner. "The Inspector General report cites failures across the system with the Navy and I think that's something that people will be concerned about."

Don't Save Your Appetite
You want to be hungry for the big feast—not starving. "Eat a protein-rich breakfast and snack lightly until dinner," says Wellington. "Eating every four hours can control your blood sugar so that you don't overeat later in the day."
Choose Your Protein Carefully
White meat turkey is your best choice, but be selective. "Choose certified organic, pasture-raised turkey," Wellington says. "This will help you avoid unwanted contaminants and ensure that you have a healthy turkey rich in omega 3 fats."
Rethink The Classics
When creating side dishes, develop strong flavors by using fresh herbs, ginger, and seasonal fruit instead of cream, butter, and salt. "Stuffing is traditionally white bread soaked in butter," Wellington says. "Try replacing some butter with chicken stock or creating a new recipe with quinoa, apples, nuts, and spices. In my family, we've even used polenta."
About Those Mashed Potatoes
Instead of white potatoes drowning in butter, Wellington recommends mashed sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, or roasted root vegetables with nuts. All of these are naturally sweet, but are low in glycemic values and high in fiber.
Say Yes To Pie
What if Aunt Tina's caramel crunch pumpkin pie is your favorite dessert ever? Go for it. "Indulgence is normal, and food should be celebratory," Wellington says. "If you want to indulge a little it's fine, just plan ahead—maybe a Turkey Trot race before dinner or a nice family walk after to help burn a few more calories."

Customer support can get a bit unnerving at times. Imagine waking up to frustrated customer emails and answering angry callers every day. Add a heaped spoonful of repetitive tasks and boring replies, and you have a ready recipe for a customer service disaster. After all, happy support agents translate to happy customers, so if your support team is not jumping with joy, chances are your customers won't either.
Freshdesk lets you turn every support ticket into a chance for your support reps to earn points. The more points they earn, the higher they move up your leaderboard and get more bragging rights.
The trick to offering great support isn't really a secret. Customers expect instant answers to their queries, without having to go back-and-forth. That means the way to provide great customer service is by offering fast responses to customer queries, and making sure you get their problems resolved in the first shot. And, of course, making sure your customers are satisfied. Only, making this diet a habit is kind of hard. Freshdesk Arcade lets you set scores and define how important Fast Resolutions, First Call Resolutions, Service Levels and Customer Satisfaction ratings are to your business.
With Freshdesk Arcade, supporting customers will no longer be a boring, repetitive chore to your support reps. Every ticket is a chance for them to earn points and climb up your leaderboard. That way, you know who your best players are by just looking at one place. Even better, Freshdesk Arcade even offers trophies to the fastest, sharpest and happiest support reps in your team.
Gamification was a big plus for friendly agent competition. Agents aim for the 'Quadfecta', which means scoring highest for the month in all four of the measured categories. In 2015, we had 5 top winners who received a gift card. Freshdesk's unique gamification features helped us identify where we needed to be more selective with hiring practices and verifying skills.
It takes a seasoned support rep to resolve a query in the first shot. Laud the Sharp Shooters in your team.
Cheer on your Speed Racers as they break the sound barrier with super-fast responses.
Celebrate your Wow Champs who put in that extra effort to make customers smile.
There are some things, like updating your knowledge base, or adding new solutions, that your support reps just won't do on a good day. And then there are some things like participating in your community forum, or clearing up that old ticket backlog, that probably isn't on the top of their priority list either.
Freshdesk Arcade lets you step on the gas and create Quests to ensure your specific business goals and needs get resolved. You could set your agents out on quests to earn more satisfaction ratings, publish solutions, participate in your community and more. And every time your reps unlock a quest, they get a badge to show off to the world.
Keep track of fast responses, first call resolutions and ticket overdues and boost agent productivity in your helpdesk.
Find out which of your agents are closer to winning customer love consistently by getting feedback from customers.

Pittsburgh — Henrik Lundqvist made 37 saves for his sixth straight victory and the New York Rangers won their fourth consecutive game with a 3-1 win over the host Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday.
Lundqvist improved to 18-7-4 in handing the Penguins their third straight loss.
Derek Stepan's ninth goal of the season at 1:20 of the third period secured the win for the Rangers. Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury came out to play the puck, but fanned on it and gave it right to Marian Gaborik. His shot hit the post but the rebound came right to Stepan, who snapped the puck into the open net.
Brandon Dubinsky gave the Rangers a 2-1 lead with a shorthanded goal at 3:09 of the middle frame after captain Ryan Callahan fed Dubinsky on a 2-on-1 break. It was Dubinsky's fifth goal and the Rangers sixth shorthanded marker of the season.
Callahan extended his point streak to seven games (two goals, six assists).
Ben Lovejoy scored his first goal of the season for the Penguins, and Brad Richards replied with his 15th for the Rangers in the first period.
Newark, N.J. — Ilya Kovalchuk had two third-period goals to lead New Jersey over Florida.
Kovalchuk broke a 2-2 tie at 11:40, when he made a nice rush up the ice and took a return pass from Patrik Elias, who was playing in the 1,000th game.
Kovalchuk added an empty-net goal in the closing minute, his 14th goal of the season.
The Devils got a first-period goal from rookie Adam Henrique and a second-period goal from Elias.
It was Henrique's 11th goal of the season and the 14th for Elias. Zach Parise added an empty-net goal.
The Panthers got a first-period goal from Mikael Samuelsson and a second-period goal from Krystofer Barch.
Jacob Markstrom made 25 saves for Florida, while Johan Hedberg had 22 saves for the Devils.
Raleigh, N.C. — Eric Staal had a goal and two assists to lead Carolina past Buffalo.
Chad LaRose scored the go-ahead goal with 11:50 left, Justin Faulk also scored and Brandon Sutter added an empty-net goal for the Hurricanes.
They never trailed in winning for the fourth time in seven games. They have earned points in three of four in their attempt to escape the Eastern Conference cellar.
Jason Pominville was credited with a bizarre goal and added an assist, and Thomas Vanek also scored for Buffalo. The Sabres have lost nine of 12.
Cam Ward made 31 saves for Carolina while Ryan Miller stopped 31 shots for the Sabres.
Chicago — Semyon Varlamov made 27 saves to earn his second shutout, and T.J. Galiardi had a goal and an assist to lead the Colorado Avalanche past the Chicago Blackhawks 4-0 on Friday night for their fourth straight win.
David Jones, David Van Der Gulik and Chuck Kobasew also scored for Colorado, which has won nine of its past 10.
Varlamov made a few sharp close-in saves, but wasn't consistently tested by the Blackhawks in his sixth career shutout.
Chicago lost its third straight to match a season high for consecutive defeats, and has dropped four of its past five following a 9-1-1 run.
The Avalanche continue to play well and have climbed back into the Western Conference playoff race without forward Matt Duchene, who missed his third game with a knee injury.
Chicago's Corey Crawford stopped 18 shots.
Anaheim, Ca. — Ryan Getzlaf scored the go-ahead goal late in the third period, Bobby Ryan had two goals and the Anaheim Ducks beat the New York Islanders 4-2 Friday night to end a three-game skid.
Jonas Hiller stopped 19 shots to earn his 99th NHL career victory for the Ducks, who avoided their second four-game losing streak of the season.
The Islanders led 2-1 early in the third on a goal by Kyle Okposo only to have the Ducks score the game's final three goals and end New York's three-game winning streak in a matchup of two teams next-to-last in their respective divisions.
Evgeni Nabokov made 16 saves for the Islanders, leaving him two wins away from 300.

Johannesburg - The police are one step closer to cracking Lawrence Moepi's murder.
They have released a picture of a man who they say might assist with their investigation.
Moepi was killed in October last year in the parking lot of the premises of SizweNtsalubaGobodo, an auditing firm, at which he worked as director of forensic services.
He was followed to the Houghton office by gunmen travelling in a VW Golf.
The criminals shot him as he was getting out of his vehicle.
Moepi had worked closely with the Scorpions and Public Protector Thuli Madonsela.
He was also an integral part of a team investigating the controversial sale of Cosatu's headquarters in Braamfontein.
The police strongly believe the pictured man's co-operation could help them crack the case.
The picture is of a man in his forties who has usually been seen in Alexandra or Soweto.
Another suspect, Remember Siporo, has been arrested and charged with murder. He was denied bail during his last appearance and will be appearing in court on April 4.
The case might be moved to the Johannesburg High Court as it is a case involving murder.
The 40-year-old was arrested in Mofolo, Soweto, and the search is still on for a second suspect.
"If we can locate the man in the picture, he can assist us in identifying the second suspect," said SAPS Gauteng provincial spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Lungelo Dlamini.
"Police are appealing to anyone who may have information or who knows his whereabouts to come forward," he said.
"They may contact Crime Stop at 086 001 0111.
"Information may also be forwarded by an SMS to the Primedia Crime Line number, 32211, at all hours."
There is a reward for information.

Picture: Tippi Hedren 'Actors and Others for Animals' 2011 Annual Fundraiser held at the Universal Hilton Hotel Los Angeles, California - 09.04.11
Actress Tippi Hedren is celebrating after learning new legislation which will ban the breeding and selling of exotic big cats in America has moved closer to officially becoming law.
The Birds star, who runs a lion and tiger sanctuary in rural California, initially suggested the Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act to her senator Buck MCKeon in 2009 - and now the concept has been introduced in the House of Representatives on its way to becoming law.
Hedren tells WENN, "I'm very proud of this important legislation finally on it's way to becoming the law."
The new bill will prohibit the breeding and private possession of big cats by citizens and once the legislation is passed, it will become illegal to own any big cat unless you are a certified official at an accredited zoo or sanctuary.
Violators will have their animals confiscated and they will face hefty fines and imprisonment.
In applauding lawmakers for fast-tracking the new legislation, Hedren has released official figures dating back to 1990, which support her concerns about big cat ownership.
She states that there have been 21 deaths, 246 maulings, 254 escapes and 143 big cat deaths.
Hedren adds, "No other country on our planet has so freely allowed the breeding and selling of wild animals as pets, or for financial gain, by providing a licence for that ownership as does the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"There is not one thing we can give a wild animal in captivity that they need. What they do need, is to be born free, in their natural environment."

When are Judges and Bureaucrats Left Independent? Theory and History from Imperial Japan, Postwar Japan, and the United States
This is one chapter from the book, Judicial Independence: Economic Theory and Japanese Empirics, that Mark Ramseyer and Eric Rasmusen are writing. In preceding chapters we explain the institutions of modern Japan's judiciary and use regression analysis to test whether judges who rule in ways the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (the LDP) disliked were penalized in their careers. We find that they were for some kinds of cases-involving such things as the constitutionality of the military, injunctions against the national (but not local) government, reapportionment, and electioneering laws. They were not penalized for other kinds of cases-tax and criminal cases. Those results are drawn from our earlier published papers, reorganized and synthesized for the present book. This chapter does not draw on our published work. It asks why the degree and type of independence of judges in modern Japan is different from that of other civil servants. In particular, we compare judges in modern Japan, pre-war Japan, and the United States; and we compare judges with other kinds of public employees, asking why they are not elected and why they are not directly under the control of politicians.

Metal Blade Records and Slave Pit Inc. are once again teaming up to put on the wildest party of this or any other summer…the 2011 GWAR B-Q is on for Sep. 17th at Hadad's Water Park, featuring two full stages of rock before the final, climactic performance from the mighty GWAR. And this will be no ordinary GWAR set (if such a thing could exist…) as original GWAR bass player Mike Bishop (the first Beefcake the Mighty) will join the band for a very special set of songs from the Scumdogs era, before turning over the stage to the latest incarnation of the universes most dangerous band!
"After slacking off for easily four or five minutes, the slaves of GWAR are back at it, laboring ceaselessly to satisfy our muddied desire and provide you with the sick shit you crave," said crass uber-thing Oderus Urungus. "Everyone is ordered to attend the GWAR B-Q and pay homage to their undead overlords of necrotic filth, US, the mighty GWAR, and maybe even join us for a yummy grilled baby-ass."
Darkest Hour
Battle Master
White Cross
The Occultist
Bloody Crackdown
"Just added!!! The debut performance of Argonauts featuring members of Municipal Waste, Dillinger Escape Plan, Burnt by the Sun and East of the Wall!"
In addition to all this great music, there will be BBQ cook-offs, the return of The Spew-O-Lympic's and American A-hole competitions, a jousting exhibition from the Cutthroats Bike Gang, a Bloody T-Shirt contest and of course, all the wet and wonderful fun that Hadad's Lake offers!!
Don't miss the most insane party in the history of the most insane band to ever curse this Earth!
Get your tickets IN ADVANCE FOR ONLY $20 as this gig is sure to sell-out fast. There are a limited amount of tickets available so be sure to get yours at www.gwar.net
Tickets will be $25 at the door on the day of the event.
There are also TWO other premium ticket deals
Deluxe - $30.00 -1 day entry to all music performances and events and an official GWAR-B-Q t-shirt
Premium - $75.00 – 1 day entry to all music performances, official GWAR-B-Q t-shirt, GWAR live concert DVD, VIP pass for "Meat and Beat" signing with GWAR, and a chance to appear on stage with GWAR and be devoured by their pet World Maggot! FUCK!!!
But just because the sun goes down, it doesn't mean the fun has to end! Included with the price of your ticket you will also gain access to the GWAR B-Q After Show Party McCormicks Irish Pub. The After Show Party will feature music by Hex Machine, U.S. Brass and a super secret surprise headlining band. The after-show party starts at 7 and goes til' 2 a.m. In other Slave Pit news, the new episode of the Blood Vomits, Slave-Pit's Kickstarter funded animated comedy short, is wrapping up its editing and should be premiering soon on gwar.net. Slave Pit has also unfortunately had to take down their popular GWAR-B-Q and GWAR.TV pages, due to server issues.
And finally, there are rumors going around that the Crack-a-Thon may be back, sooner than you think! Look for an announcement next week! Despite getting kicked off Red Eye for disemboweling Sarah Palin, Oderus wasted little time in finding another platform to terrorize the airwaves–and what better place to do that than from the #1 syndicated metal radio show in the U.S., Full Metal Jackie! That's right, for the past few months Oderus has been appearing on Jackie's show in "The Mad Minute", in which our warty anti-hero mouths off about a variety of topics, covering a spectrum from "jenkum" to Fred Durst and why he sucks so bad. Check out the mind of a mad man–or at least someone that is mad–at The Mad Minute on Full Metal Jackie!
