Paranormal teams seem to be a dollar a dozen these days. So many have jumped on the bandwagon in hopes of getting their own paranormal reality TV show. So how do you know what investigation team is best for you?
1.) You will want to do some investigating of your own. There are certain things you need to watch for. Things that are not bad, however not a good idea to base your decision on. Don't pick your team based on Facebook friends. Just because they have over 1,000 Facebook friends doesn't mean that they are qualified. That just means that they stay busy making friend requests. Also, look for a team that shows experience, not based on how many team members. A team with 10 investigators shown in their group doesn't mean they are qualified. What isn't common public knowledge is that it doesn't take a crew of members to investigate a home. It also doesn't take thousands of dollars worth of equipment to verify a haunting. What you want to look for is a team who has experience and knowledge of the paranormal field. You don't want a team that only has experience with haunted locations such as Mansfield Prison, Waverly Hills, Penn State Prison and other well-known locations. Look for experience in private home investigations. A qualified paranormal investigator has one on one experience with the public. Doing a public investigation at a place such as a prison and doing an investigation for a home owner is handled a bit different. The person must be people friendly and trust worthy. Also, if they have pictures of famous reality paranormal stars on their site, that doesn't mean they are well known or qualified. Some groups put these on their sites to try and name drop or make a name for themselves.
2.) Some ways to protect your self and help determine who is a qualified group is to get testimonials. Ask the group you are interested in to provide testimonials or ask if you can be contacted someone they have investigated for. A well-qualified team will happily provide you with the information you need. Find out how long they have been investigating for. Where and how they became knowledgeable of the paranormal and what made them want to be an investigator.
3.) Many teams charge for their services and some do offer their services free of charge. Make sure to watch for the teams that do charge. Investigating is not an exact science and there is not always a way to prove the work that has been done. Some teams are out to make a quick buck and over charge for what they do. It does cost money to buy the equipment and travel so those that charge at a lower cost or request donations normally go toward gas and equipment costs. However that cost should not be high. Do some research and check out the options and cost for various teams.
4.) Groups who stake claim to libraries and other locations strictly giving presentations or seminars are normally just talkers and not doers. Make sure to research these groups if they have actually done investigations. If they talk about a location, make sure they have been to those locations and not just taking information from what they have read from others.
5.) Something else to watch for is Ghost Hunting classes that charge. Again paranormal investigations are not an exact science, therefore charging to learn about it is not respectable and certificates and/or licenses are not legally legitimate. Again, many accept some type of donations for these but paying a large fee for you to learn or get a certificate is not ethical.
The main thing to remember is when you choose a team to investigate with or investigate your home, choose wisely and do your research. There are many good teams out there and unfortunately some are not and give the good ones a bad name. Our group Western Reserve Paranormal has been a team for almost four years with combined experience of thirty years. We pride ourselves in how we handle investigations determined to help not only the haunted but those doing the haunting. We do not charge for our investigations or classes; however we do request donations for a local charity for our classes and donations for gas for investigations. We have investigated not only seminaries and prisons on public investigations but also local homes and have been successful in cleansing these homes when requested.

There are some people who are not sure when their Christian journey began. All they know is that they stopped swearing, engaging in old sinful habits and had that deep-seated assurance that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour of their lives. On the other hand, there are those who clearly remember their first step in faith. They remember the prayers they made, the tears they cried and the unspeakable joy that bubbled within them as they received Jesus in their lives. I am of the latter kind. I remember it like it was yesterday. The memories of that Sunday, 10th July, 2005, are forever etched in my heart. There was no indication that the events of that day would forever change my life. It started out like any other but ended in a most blissful manner. I was in St. Lawrence High School, Kampala doing my A-levels. Two events were up for the attendance; The Mock Debate and a music concert dubbed "Jesus festival". One had to be senile to miss the former. It had all the ingredients that a 22 year old male student could be looking for; girls, music and above all, a chance to get out of school. Indeed one had to be senile…or in search of answers. I had some questions that needed answering like, "how comes trouble seems to follow me everywhere?" I went to Uganda because my life in Eldoret was plagued with drinking, clubbing, never-ending family quarrels, discipline cases in school…the list was endless. However, even in Uganda, it was the same old story- Evans this or Evans that. I was caught up in a web of dramas and I did not have the slightest inkling of how I could disentangle myself. I needed change but where or to whom does one go to when in need of it? I did not know the answer to this question but somehow I knew I would find it in the music concert. Hence, it is with a troubled heart that I boarded that van that would snake its way to the concert. I did not mind much that I was the only one aboard who adorned trousers. I needed answers. Besides, their sweet angelic voices in song were, oh, so soothing. It was a rare treat to one used to hearing blaring noise in clubs in the name of music. Now this was music. It sounded right. It felt right. Above all, it prompted one to think of life hereafter. I thought a lot.
We alighted from the van and couldn't help dancing to the music that was already underway. It wasn't long before the preacher stepped on stage to wind things up. Time flies so fast when you are having fun. Gerald (the preacher) told the story of a cripple who was invited to dine with King David. I cannot quite recall all he said that afternoon but this I do-the cripple remained a cripple even though he was in the King's presence. Gerald then went on to elaborate how some people have been in God's presence since childhood but are still crippled with sin. I drifted off and reminisced about home. I grew up in a Christian home. We went to church on Sunday morning and recited our prayers every other evening. During school holidays, my mother ensured that we attended Vacation Bible School (VBS). They were fun but didn't hold much meaning to me then. My father steered clear of such matters. My guess is he didn't know how to go about them. Asking him to thank God for a hot meal was torturous. The struggle within him was evident by the look on his face-a blank stare. Mother would save him by asking one of us to pray. That said and done, I know someday he will surrender his life to the Lord-like I did when Gerald made the altar call. I had tried everything else. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Hence, on that beach in the outskirts of Kampala, I accepted Christ as my Lord and Saviour. No sparks flew about. No home-coming party was held in my honour (at least not here on earth). However, this one thing I was certain of-that I had found what mine heart yearned for-peace; the kind that comes from above and confounds the minds of mere mortals.
It has now been six years since I was found by Him. As each day draws to an end, I realize how much I have changed. I long to be in solitude and silence, that I may know Him more intimately. Before, I didn't know what those two words meant. Above all, I realize how gifted I am and I long to serve Him in every way.
One thought on "Miaka Sita!"
i remember that day, at least the evening part, as you waved the certificate in our prep room.is it not amazing that when he saves it is for good?

My husband's Christmas party was fun. Hubby wimped out on me and we didn't go anywhere else afterwards. We even used Uber so we could drink some and stay out. But it was nice to dress up and eat at a traditional Italian restaurant. Cafe Luna is definitely a place to go in downtown Raleigh if you want some good Italian food. Though next time we are out we are definitely going to Bitter Sweet, which is a dessert bar. Yum! More

Second Year…Posted By: randomandodd // Category: Anxiety, journey
Today our two year anniversary. Today is also the day I made our first marriage counseling appointment.
No one puts on their wedding dress and thinks, 'In two years from today, I am going to be making an appointment for counseling.'
No one expects the "Happy Anniversary" email to be followed up with an email for a therapists.
I know, I'm suppose to be happy today. This day is suppose to mean something, be an accomplishment. It just feels sort of hollow. And this is where I pep talk myself into saying, "this is a journey and it's a rough one and you have to work for it and life is hard…' and all the other stereotypical expressions that have stuck to the wall all these years.
Thinking back to my first marriage and the final days of excepting the fact that it wasn't going to work was the same phrase running over and over, "I'm going to be 'divorced'. My kids are going to come from a 'broken home'. My kids were going to say, "our parents are divorced." and all those words felt so dirty and the thought of them saying them broke my heart into a billion pieces.
When I finally excepted the fact that I was going to 're-marry', another 'bad word' in my vocabulary, I guess I figured it was going to be 'right'. I mean, if I screwed up the first one so badly, maybe it wasn't meant to be and the grand plan, big picture of things this one was my do-over and because I had walked through the fire and survived it, this one was going to be easy and right.
God, I am so young and naive. I figured people that got married the second time around really had all the answers and that marriage would last forever. Then of course you hear about second marriage ending and you rationalize those; 'got married to soon.', 'got married for the wrong reason.', 'too much baggage'… they are damaged and should stay single then.
Yes, again…young, naive and let's add stupid to the mix.
Are there people out there that don't live in their head all the time? Do people not sit and get so twisted in the responsibility of being themselves that they want to vomit?
You know those commercials for like, Tide or Bounce when they have the white sheets hanging on the line and the wind is blowing through them and there is that woman standing in the middle? She's probably wearing white capri's and a bright yellow shirt. She's a perfect size 10 and she's holding up her arms and spinning around in circles with a big smile on her face?
To understand what it's like to be in my head take that scene, make the woman not so svelte, hair in a pony tail, voices of children yelling at dogs and each other and instead of standing there spinning with a smile on her face, she's caught in the sheets and thrashing around. She knows in order to be able to get out she's going to have to slowly unwind from the sheets, but the more she turns and pulls, the more one sheet overlaps with another. At the end of the day, when the sun has gone down and instead of the sheets nicely folded in a wicker basket by the door… The backyard is a cold mess of sheets, dog prints and a very exhausted woman still caught in there somewhere…sobbing.
And why did I stop taking medication?
I've now got to call my ex-husband and tell him to quit telling the children about our finances because Shea came in and informed me that Dad should get a break on child support because he has them more than when the court ordered. SHE IS TEN.

Global boiling: Population flight from the growing desert of Central TexasPosted by Jim at Sunday, March 20, 2011
By Brad Johnson
18 March 2011
The state of Texas will be adding four congressional districts due to significant population growth. My colleague Matt Yglesias writes that it's "fascinating to learn from the Census Bureau that even amidst 20 percent population growth, huge swathes of the state are actually losing people. The result is a state becoming radically less rural as remote areas decline in population while central cities and (especially) suburbs boom at an incredible rate":
One of the major reasons that there's such a radical population shift is that central Texas is changing from arid grassland to uninhabitable desert, in part due to greenhouse pollution from the fossil fuels once buried under the ground. Other unsustainable practices, such as overpumping of groundwater, unregulated sprawl, and poor conservation practices are accelerating the desertification. The region has been in a drought since 1995-1996, with brief respites in 2007 and 2010 from catastrophic, flooding rains:
1996: "In Texas, losses to the agricultural industry exceeded $2.1 billion; statewide losses exceeded $5 billion."
1998: "Without substantial rains, this year's drought may be a worse disaster for Texas agriculture than the severe drought of 1996."
2002: "Texas ranchers feel drought sting."
2003: "Central Texas is in the midst of a seven-year drought."
2005: "It's been dry, it is dry, and it will likely stay dry through the winter, according to the state's climatologist Dr. John Nielsen-Gammon based at Texas A&M University's College of Geosciences."
2006: "Texas' drought losses have reached an estimated $4.1 billion, eclipsing the $2.1 billion mark set in 1998, according to Texas Cooperative Extension economists."
2008: "Lack of rain and scorching temperatures hit Texas' agricultural crops and beef operations hard late spring and summer, leading to an estimated $1.4 billion in drought losses, Texas AgriLife Extension Service economists reported."
2009: "The most severe drought this part of Texas has ever seen means grazing pastures have dried up. Throughout central Texas, lake levels have fallen as much as 30 feet below normal, fields are cracking, and in some places half the cotton, corn and sorghum crops have withered away. Texas officials estimate losses are already at $3.6 billion and rising. . . . Over the past two months, Austin has sweltered through 19 days above 100 degrees. And rainfall is 20 inches below normal. "
2011: "Deteriorating conditions in Texas and Oklahoma led to increased drought severity this week. In addition to the widespread wildfires in the region, impacts from agricultural areas are starting to be reported in counties along the Red River that illustrate the extreme nature of drought."
This is just a taste of Texas' future. "Triple-digit temperatures will be the norm in Texas within a few decades, and 115-degree heat won't be surprising," according to the state climatologist.

An ancient skill reworked for the modern world
Tom Raffield creates products that will be cherished, enjoyed and loved. The Butterfly pendant is a lamp that shows it's natural beauty.
Butterfly pendant story
Inspired by the movement and beauty of a butterfly in full flight, the form of this pendant intercepts the light, making intricate shadows and producing a stunning lighting effect in any space. Made by hand in Cornwall, England from sustainably sourced wood and finished with an eco-friendly, non-toxic varnish.
The Butterfly pendant is available in two sizes: Standard: Ø: 68cm x H: 52cm and Giant: Ø: 90cm x H: 90cm
- The Butterfly Standard is available in oak and walnut.
- The Butterfly Giant is available in ash, oak and walnut.
Design process Butterfly pendant
"Designing always starts for me with a beautiful shape. I have always admired the lines of a butterfly and in particular the fluttering of its wings. Thinking about that is where the design for the Butterfly Light came from and, of course, realising that the steam bending process could create these lovely curved shapes." - Tom Raffield
From there he spends weeks sketching a shape and testing the idea – then slowly the form of the light grows from the process. Tom thinks about the shadows the light will cast around it as well as the form itself.
As soon as he finds a shape that works he'll use strips of aluminium and card to move the wood only once he has a pretty good idea that the form will work. He'll hold a bulb inside it at all stages to see how the shapes react with the light to ensure that the shadows are working. This is where the process of trial and error really come into play and the modelling stage is crucial for getting the 3D form – you can't do that from sketches alone.
Next it's about creating the tooling to bend the wood and this can change the design slightly because of the realms of what is physically possible. At this stage it becomes about finding an efficient way of making the product whilst ensuring the aesthetic isn't compromised. And from all of this eventually comes a new design and a new light for their collection.
Choosing your wood type
They use three types of wood in their products, ash, oak and walnut, here is an introduction to each wood type and why they use it. Tom has learnt from trial and error which woods respond well to the steam bending process and temperate hardwoods lend themselves naturally to steam bending. Beyond that it's really a matter of how the different woods effect the light and how they work with other furniture in people's rooms. Oak and ash are readily available in the UK and grow in the woodland around them. Most of their ash and oak is native and sourced in the UK and Cornwall, with some from Europe.
Ash is their palest wood and when is cut thinly it allows light to emanate through the grain, producing an amazing and intense orange glow.
Oak is their mid-colour wood and Tom loves the contrast between the golden glow inside and the darker wood colour on the outside. He also knew that a lot of other quality furniture is made of oak and therefore the lights will fit into many rooms and match decoration schemes.
Walnut is a dark wood and it is native to America. When you turn the light on, the walnut pendants turn a rich golden colour with the contrast of the silhouetted dark exterior and they produce stunning warmth and shadows.
Brand & Designer
Tom grew up surrounded by the extreme wilderness, tranquility and natural beauty of Exmoor, England - an environment that stimulated his imagination, and inspired freedom to be adventurous in his designs. Tom's fascination with the traditional practice of steam bending began whilst studying at Falmouth College of Arts, where he discovered the traditional technique of using a chamber wouldn't allow him to create the complex 3D bends he had envisaged. Years of research and experimentation allowed him to develop a new steaming method to turn his design visions into reality.
Tom was co-founder of the award-winning collective design company Sixixis, recognised for unique aesthetic, forward-thinking designs and now, through his own company, Tom continues to create spectacular, ecologically sound, innovative furniture and lighting. Handcrafted in his studios in Cornwall, England, the range of contemporary lighting and furniture Tom now creates is based on beauty, integrity and a desire to create unique, high-specification products that will be cherished by their owners.
Winner of the Lighting Design Association's Lighting Design Award 2011.
Handmade in England
There are so many products today clamoring for your attention; products that follow fashion trends and become obsolete far before their physical time. Distinction in design, craftsmanship and materials form the basis of the company and creating beautiful, sustainable furniture and lighting is what they're all about. Everything they produce is handmade with care at their workshop in Cornwall, England.
They take pride in each piece they create and timeless design, combined with high quality workmanship, ensure each of their products is treasured by its owner and will last beyond a lifetime. From sourcing the right timber to using the best finish for the product, everything is the result of thought, consideration and artistry. If you hate the idea of waste and today's throwaway culture, but love the idea of owning something that is built to last and will become a treasured possession, then the lighting ranges of Tom Raffield are for you. They're not slaves to trends but truly unique, timeless and precious works of art – made to stand the test of time.
A by-product of good design
Tom Raffield creates products that will be cherished, enjoyed and loved and feel strongly that in our disposable culture longevity is the basis for sustainability. In an ideal world, sustainability is a by-product of good design. Running a business in a sustainable way should naturally be sound business practice. Having a comprehensive knowledge of the production process; from the selection of a tree, to the final finishes, provides Tom with the skills to minimise environmental impact and make his work economically viable.
So what actually makes Tom Raffield designs sustainable?
They use local timber where possible from renewable resources, reducing transportation.
All their timber comes from sustainably managed woodlands where more trees are planted than cut down.
The wood they use is either unseasoned, green or air dried timber (avoiding the energy-intensive kiln drying process).
Steam bending is the main form of production. It is a low energy method of manufacturing, with little wastage. There is no use of toxic or harmful chemicals; just water.
Wood waste is used onsite in their compost toilet.
Local suppliers and manufacturers are used where possible. Not only is this often cost effective, but it also helps to support local business and economy.
Each piece is hand crafted and will last over a lifetime.
An ancient skill reworked for the modern world
Steam bending is a traditional process steeped in history. It was once a vital practice, paramount to the production of weapons, tools and water vessels but sadly, with the advance of technology the practice has become less common. Steam bending is also a low energy and ecological method of manipulating wood with no nasty glues and very low levels of wastage.
With time and a lot of practice Tom has developed his own way of using steam, which has reinvented this traditional process and brought it into the 21st century. The new tools and methods Tom has developed mean he can twist and bend wood to create shapes as freely as you use a pencil for drawing. Having such a good understanding of the material and the process ensures there are no restrictions on creativity – knowing that anything can be achieved is extraordinarily liberating.
Creating complex 3D shapes from a single plank of wood is made much easier with Tom Raffield's bag technique. Whilst studying at Falmouth College, Tom realised he wanted to be able do more than traditional steam-bending techniques would allow and so he invented an innovative new method of steam-bend wood, which he called the bag technique.
Traditional steam bending sees wood placed in a chamber of steam and then removed into the air to be bent- but this method didn't allow Tom the time to create the complex shapes he wanted. He developed a new technique using a steam filled bag on localised sections of the wood, enabling him to create bends in the wood whilst it is still being subjecting to the bending effects of the steam.
Being able to bend the wood whilst it is being steamed allows Tom to craft pieces much more slowly and carefully as the time restrictions usually imposed by the rapid cooling of the wood being are no longer a problem.
A jig system with clamps and composite straps is used to actually bend the wood, creating a space to do so within a series of scaffolding bars and thus removing the confines of shaping on a bench. The bag technique allows the development of far more complex 3D forms than traditional chamber steam-bending, as well as enabling work on localised sections of a piece of wood in order to achieve a high quality finish, with far less risk of splitting owing to temperature change.
Tom said: "This technique is perfect for sculptures and one-off pieces but is very time consuming and therefore not commercially viable for large-scale production. It's really an art process, enabling the artist to shape wood as you might shape clay."

My dear friend Sci seems to have stirred up a bit of a hornet's nest by posting something less than entirely complimentary about the science cheerleaders. That sounds like a sarcastic way of saying that she wrote something taking them down - but actually it's an accurate description of what she did. What she wrote wasn't entirely negative or entirely positive. It was an honest, balanced assessment of just what she thought about the idea of the science cheerleaders and why they made her feel uncomfortable.
I think Sci's assessment was dead-on. But over at Labspaces, there's a whole discussion about it which has largely devolved into a bunch of people shouting at each other (complete with a sub-discussion about which dudes successfully banged hot but crazy smart chicks).
I don't have much too say about the basic issue that hasn't already been said. Personally, I'm very much behind Sci's take on it. I've got a daughter who loves science, and I'd be very proud if she grows up to become a scientist; but I don't like the message that I think the science cheerleaders actually deliver.
What I think gets missed in discussions like this is that there's an awful lot of societal context that you need to consider in things like this. An awful lot of the criticism that's been aimed at the people who aren't thrilled with the science cheerleaders is, I think, based on ignoring that context.
We live is a highly patriarchal society. In our society, there is a constant message that men are important, and that women exist in order to serve men. A woman who isn't attractive, who isn't dressing in ways that show off her fuckability, is considered less valuable as a person.
This isn't just an attitude of the misogynistic assholes in our society. This is an attitude of our society, reinforced virtually everywhere. It's something that's virtually impossible to avoid. No matter how much you think you're better than that, that you don't believe that you're a sexist or a misogynist, you've still absorbed that message. Living in this society, it's pretty much impossible to not absorb that message. Whether you're a man or a woman, whether you're young or old, whether you're smart or stupid, whether you're straight or gay, it doesn't matter. This is a very deeply engrained attitude in our society, and you can't avoid it.
I'm not saying this to insult men, or to insult women. But I am saying that if you deny that you've been influenced by the society you grew up in, if you deny that you've internalized the incredibly strong messages of sexual and gender roles that are such a part of your society, then you are fooling yourself.
Just, for a moment, think about cheerleading as a sport.
Cheerleading is the most popular sport for young women in high school. There are thousands of girls who want to be cheerleaders, with huge competition for the few available spots. As a sport, it's extremely demanding and difficult physically. It takes a tremendous amount of effort, practice, skill, and strength to be any good at it.
But what does a cheerleader actually do? What is their role as an athlete? It's not to go out and win. Not even to compete. The primary role of a cheerleader is to support the male athletes. Cheerleaders are dressed up in impractical costumes - tiny skirts even in the coldest weather - and to dance, jump, and do all sorts of rythmic gymnastics while men are competing at the real sport. The women's sport is very much subservient to the men's, and the women's sport is highly sexualized.
Even when you have co-ed cheerleading, you'll find that the men typically wear long pants and a loose sweater, while the girls wear miniskirts and tight clinging, revealing tops.
In the male sports that have cheerleaders, the primary role of the male participants is to show off their strength and skill at the sport. The primary role of the chearleaders is to show how a group of attractive, fuckable women are supporting the talented male athletes.
This is basically the problem that many people have with the science cheerleaders. It isn't that there's anything intrinsically wrong with cheerleaders - but the societal context of cheerleading is that the cheerleaders aren't part of the thing they cheer - they're outsiders who support it by showing off how hot they are.
The "science cheerleaders" don't actually cheer about science. They don't show off their scientific skills. They don't show that they know or care anything about science. Taken in the context of the society that they're part of, and the traditional role and purpose of a cheerleader, they're basically removing themselves from any role as an actual participant in science. Cheering isn't part of the activity being cheered. A football cheerleader doesn't play football; she supports the football player. A science cheerleader isn't doing science; she's supporting the scientists. And in our society, when you put together a group of hot women in hot costumes nad have them cheer about science, the basic message isn't "Women can be interested in science" or "Women can be scientists". It's "science is cool, and you girls can support it by showing off how fuckable you are to all those smart science dudes".
At best, what the science cheerleaders do is say "You can be interested in science and still be hot". But put in context, that's a very sad message: what it says is "As a woman, your primary responsibility is to be hot; you can be a scientist too, as long as you're hot."
Most people don't want to think of themselves as being sexists or racists. Our self-image is that being a racist or a sexist is bad, and we're not bad people. So we reject the idea that we've got these deeply ingrained racist and sexist attitudes. The problem is, we are sexists. We are racists. We're not deliberately racist or sexist - but we all share the common context of our society, and it is ridiculous to pretend that we have somehow overcome that. And that causes some of the most pernicious problems of discrimination. The majority of discrimination today isn't conscious and deliberate. It's subconscious: it's the attitudes and beliefs that we have internalized, which color our perceptions in ways we don't even recognize.
I've done a lot of work recruiting, interviewing, and hiring people. And when you look at that, it becomes ridiculously obvious just how strong those subconscious biases are.
For example, in an experiment I've actually witnessed: Give a guy a bunch of resumes with names removed, and stripped of any content which could show the gender of the candidate, and they'll pick out a bunch of resumes. If you look at the resulting selection, you'll typically find that the number of women's resumes who get selected are slightly above the proportion of women in the population. (This is another manifestation of sexism; in order to succeed, women need to be better than the corresponding male candidates; in a technical job, the average woman candidate will have better qualifications than the men she's competing with, and in a blind resume search, that will result in the women being selected at a higher rate, because they have better qualifications.
Now, take the same batch of resumes, and an equivalent batch of screeners, but leave the names/gender identifiers on the resumes. You'll get a dramatically different result. In the resulting pool of selected resumes, you'll find that nearly all of the top male candidates from the initial round - better than 90% - were also selected in the open search. But of the women selected in the blind search, less that 20% will get selected in the open search.
And it's not just men who do this. Use women as screeners, and you'll see something similar. It's not quite as as extreme - with women screeners in the open search, about 40% of the women from the blind search will also get selected. But still, the majority of women will be excluded, when the only additional piece of data is gender.
That's the problem with the science cheerleaders. Not that there's something wrong with cheering about science. Not because it's impossible to be both a cheerleader and a scientist. The problem is that given our societal biases, the science cheerleaders play right into gender stereotype, and end up reinforcing the message that the primary role of women in science is sexual and supportive. You can be a female scientist - but if you are, it's important that you do it in a way which shows your sexual subservience to the men. You can be a female scientist - as long as you're also a hot chick who's sexually available to male scientists.
As a closing point, before you start flaming me: just ask yourself, honestly: what would you think if a group of men dressed up in speedos and filmed a video cheering about science? Not doing any science - just dancing in their speedos chanting "science is cool." In fact, can you even imagine a bunch of really great male scientists agreeing to dance in speedos while cheering?

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Blonde - £15.50, Cultbeauty.com
The Brows are well and truly having their hayday right now, everyone seems to be a fan of natural, full, well shaped and groomed brows and rightly so. The brow is, to me, one of the more important parts of my makeup and I wouldn't dare go out without them done, if I'm wearing makeup and this product has been my go to for many reasons...
Anastasia Soare has been on the forefront of brow grooming for quite a long time now with her brand on the rise, Anastasia Beverly Hills, and has been put into the spotlight this year, 2014 has really seen Anastasia's brand grow and rightly so her products are phenomenal.
I have tried the Brow Wiz which has a lot of hype around it on Blogs and YouTube and I also have the Dipbrow pomade which is another product with a lot of hype surrounding it. The majority of the products do have a big following, the main ones being the Brow Wiz, Dipbrow Pomade, Contour Kit and the Brow Setting Gel just to name a few.
The one I'm going to be reviewing today is the Dipbrow Pomade in Blonde. I have had this for around 2 months and have barely made a dent in it, a little goes a long way. The formulation is much like that of a mousse mixed with a wax, it keeps brows in place but is also very light and easy to manage.
I have done a "New in" type post on this product if you wish to read that first then click here. After I had finished using my Brow Wiz (read my first impressions post here) I wanted to venture more into Anastasia's other products so instead of repurchasing I bought the Dipbrow Pomade instead.
I use an angled liner brush by Barry M (see this post) to apply it. The brush is very thin so you can get really precise on your brows and the colour matches are brilliant, I have light blonde hair and the blonde shade is perfect for me, it isn't too ashy and it's not too dark for me, I'd say it's a little bit darker than traditional blonde but lighter than a light brown.
It's waterproof, transfer proof and lasts all day, and when I say all day, I mean it - after a night out when I'm just too lazy to wipe my makeup off (I know I know big no no, i'm a scruff haha but whatever we all do it from time to time unless you're super good with that sort of thing) and it's stayed put all day and then all night through my sleep and in the morning it's usually that last man standing in terms of my makeup.
I really recommend this product to anyone looking for something to use on their brows, I'm definitely more of a cream product person when it comes to my brows over powder and pens and this product just hits the nail on the head for me.
Have you ever tried this product? Let me know in the comments!

Following in The Saltine Ramblers' footsteps, Woods' album is a cassette release. I'm conflicted about this. On the one hand, cassettes are the cheapest analog format around, and musicians can frugally produce a product that arguably has more substance than the average independent CD release. Many are the times I've taken a chance on a cheap cassette being sold at a show, a chance I never would have taken on a more expensive record or CD version. Existing on the fringe of the music business and issued almost exclusively by weirdoes, cassettes are a low-risk format, and there is a lot to be said for that. Against all odds tapes are regaining popularity. There is, I kid you not, an International Cassette Store Day. The cynic in me appreciates that so much more than the preening, limited-edition, pants-peeing phenomenon we know as Record Store Day.
AJ Woods really knows how to sing a song, and there isn't a dud in this batch of ecstatic dirges.
On the other hand, who the fuck has a tape player? If your 1988 Volvo still has one, odds are it's broken or has an irremovable Soundgarden cassette stuck in it. The percentage of the population with decks at home has to be next to none. Tapes don't wear well. They hiss. That said, this release is right at home on cassette for some reason, so let's just go with it. The recording, done at Synchro Studio, isn't the highest of fi in the first place, but the music transcends all that. It's a neat package with nice artwork and a download code. The tape I received is yellow, which pleases the hell out of the part of me that's nostalgic for the ROIR cassettes of the '80s. On tape or downloaded via Bandcamp, you won't be disappointed. This guy's for real.
Come celebrate this monument to obscurity at AJ Woods' tape release on Monday, March 10, at Separation Gallery (900 Fourth Street SW). Also on the bill are San Diego-based Labs and Seattle's Julie Byrne, whose prettily depressive oeuvre promises to be a highlight. Albuquerque songstress Javelina opens. Cover is $5, and the party starts at 7pm.

I wanted to experiment further with my new bread baking exploits. So, without a doubt, I made it chocolate, Mexican chocolate to be precise. My brother Jose is Jewish so I decided to make something in his honor since I couldn't make it to his 70th birthday celebration.
Using my life-saving (and hand-saving) Kitchen Aid mixer and dough hook, I made this beautiful Challah bread that didn't last long. The bread isn't necessarily sweet although it does incorporate some brown sugar and bits of Mexican chocolate, but it was just sweet enough to have with a cup of coffee in the morning. It helped to do a coffee flavored glaze on top for good measure.
I also used a digital scale to measure out the dough to make the three ropes. Last time I tried making a braided bread loaf the various ropes measured differently and gave it a lumpy look.
Next time I intend to try that wonderful Apple Honey Challah that Martha Stewart had in her magazine a few months back. BUT, I think I'll try it with some dried mango chips and a honey lime mixture instead. Who knows? It might come out pretty tasty.
Chocolate Challah Bread
3 ½ cups bread flour
1 packet (2 ½ teaspoons) of active dry yeast
¼ cup warm (110 degrees) water
1 teaspoon sugar
½ cup warm water
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
4 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg at room temperature
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup chopped Mexican chocolate, chopped into small bits
Coffee Glaze
1 ½ cups sifted powdered sugar
4 teaspoons of softened butter
Enough warm water (about 1 or 2 tablespoons) to make the glaze of drizzling consistency
¼ teaspoons instant coffee granules
Dissolve coffee in warm water. Combine all ingredients to smooth consistency.
Combine the yeast, ¼ cup warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar in mixer bowl. Allow to proof for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together flour, cocoa and salt in a separate bowl. In a small saucepan, warm ½ cup water, butter, and brown sugar. Heat until butter is almost melted and temperature reaches 110 degrees. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 egg.
Add water mixture to yeast mixture in mixer bowl. Mix (using dough hook) on low just until combined. Add 3 cups of flour. Starting on low speed, incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients. Increase speed to medium and mix for 5 minutes. Add a little more flour (from the remaining ½ cup) if dough seems too sticky and is not forming into a ball. Add pecans and chocolate bits.
After the mixing (kneading) time, turn dough out onto a floured surface for final kneading. Knead dough by hand a few times until dough feels smooth and elastic.
Oil or butter a large mixing bowl. Place dough into bowl and turn over once to butter the top. Cover and let rise for 1 ½ hours or until double in size.
Punch dough down and turn out onto floured surface. Divide dough into three equal pieces. This is where my new digital scale comes in. The total dough weighed 33 ounces. I divided into three 11-ounce pieces.
Roll out each piece into a long rope. Make sure each piece is of equal length.
Lay out ropes on a lightly greased baking sheet. Braid the ropes and tuck in the end pieces. Cover and allow braid to rise a second time for about an hour.
Make an egg wash (1 egg + 1 tablespoon of water) and brush over the braid.
Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 30 minutes. Allow to cool and then drizzle over the top with Coffee glaze.

If you are small then it doesn't matter how good of a person you are, because you won't hold on to your loved one for long. We did a survey of over 50,000 women on which size they would prefer better. See the results and make your decision whether to use Vimax Pills or not yourself. are the results permanent? Yes they are. You control the growth because once you reach your optimum size you could stop taking VIMAX PILLS.

I think I started that sampler and put it away somewhere or maybe I finished it, can't remember. The bedspread is wonderful. Hubby and I visited Amish country often when we lived in DC.

Finally, after months of waiting, I am proud to present my eggplant's first fruit!
The cucumber has grown bigger. At one time, all I had were male flowers. The situation has reversed. Now that I have no partners for my 3 female flowers, they are starting to shrivel up and die. Thank goodness I had successfully pollinated one!

Wow, I can understand the joy of seeing the first fruit of your plant. I am impatiently waiting for all my vegies to grow up and bear me fruits. Planting vegies are very exciting to me coz I have never done it before. Can't wait for my brinjal and lady fingers to produce fruit.ReplyDelete
JC- I used to grow inedible plants but since I started growing vegetables, I can tell you it is very rewarding!ReplyDelete
yay! all's looking gd!=)ReplyDelete
Sooooooooooo pretty!ReplyDelete
I have a question. I have a stumpy eggplant. Do I just cut open and sow the seeds on the soil? Do I have to bury them? I hope I can get some tips here.ReplyDelete

I'm a somewhat-freshly qualified CCR diver (+/- 40 hours). I bought a JJ CCR and added a Divesoft BOV to it (apart from that it's OEM).
I did my training (Deco 40) in September 2017 with Paul Toomer through RAID - which was an awesome experience.
I reside near Cape Town, South Africa.
I have my own compressor, oxygen tanks and booster pump (you have to be prepared around these parts). If anyone is considering CCR diving in Cape Town, feel free to get in touch :) .
I got a CCR because:
1) I like the technology.
2) It's great for getting close to animals and therefore good for photography.
3) It's quieter (great for listening to whales).
4) It's more efficient on helium use (which results in cost savings and is perhaps less ethically questionable (Helium isn't renewable)).
5) It's more efficient on oxygen use.
6) You don't need to carry a bunch of tanks to do a 3 hour dive .
7) You generally have the best gas online...
8) which avoids isobaric counterdiffusion issues and
9) gives better deco times.
A) Percolation isn't a problem.
Those are the reasons that come to mind. I'd be happy with just the first two .
I don't look down on OC and I continue to regularly dive OC on a twin-set with a friend. I like to think I'm not a fundamentalist and I actively solicit the thoughts of others on various topics in order to confirm (or disprove) my leading ideas.
So that's me.

NPR: 150 Greatest Albums Made By Women
Earlier today, NPR posted Turning the Tables, a list of the "150 Greatest Albums Made By Women". Alongside the expected choices (Joni Mitchell, Aretha Franklin, Patti Smith, Beyoncé, etc.) and some deserving but easily overlooked records (The Slits, MIA, ESG, etc.) were five disks that could be considered "artists' records":
Dolmen Music by Meredith Monk at #147
"With her voice, in its infinite permutations — gorgeous slides, ululations, breaths, cries, howls, drones — [Monk] navigated a landscape that seemed both familiar and strangely unfamiliar."
Plastic Ono Band by Yoko Ono at #136
"Jarring, experimental and stunning, Ono's album sounds like a head-on collision between her avant-garde art and Lennon's rock and roll (with touches of free jazz by way of an Ornette Coleman quartet on "AOS"). Yoko's voice is a powerful instrument, and it's honed to near perfection on this album; it ricochets with pre-punk raw aggression and incorporates hetai, a vocal style from Japanese kabuki theater."
Deep Listening by Pauline Oliveros (with Stuart Dempster and Panaiotis) at #128
"Throughout her long and distinguished life, Pauline Oliveros abided by the philosophy and practice of deep listening, which is still actively studied by many people today. The album Deep Listening, made with the trombonist and composer Stuart Dempster and the vocalist and composer Paniaotis, was a signpost for a different way of making music. By playing inside of a massive underground cistern, they were able to craft an entirely unique sound on the album. The huge cistern they used at Fort Worden in Washington was effectively an instrument of its own. It supplied massive reverb — an astonishing 45 seconds of reverb, in fact, meaning that the notes they played seemed to hang in midair and stay there. Additional notes would then add to these notes, combining and recombining to create great big clouds of sound."
The Litanies of Satan by Diamanda Galas at #111
"The album, which clocks in at twenty-eight spine-jolting minutes of Galás's wheezing, whispering and rhythmic wailing that can be heard into the next lifetime, is one of the most singularly influential avant-garde recordings to make its way out of hell and into our world. Artists including PJ Harvey and Zola Jesus have been shaken by The Litanies of Satan, thanks to Galás's stupefying vocal acrobatics — which suggest anything is possible if you dare to pick up a microphone and start screaming."
Big Science by Laurie Anderson at #80
"Big Science is simultaneously silly and prescient, and takes a refreshingly wry attitude to technology's perils compared to today's often obvious commentary on the subject."

PHOENIX (AP) The Arizona Diamondbacks have recalled left-hander Vidal Nuno from Triple-A Reno to serve as a long-inning reliever.
To make room, the team option right-handed reliever Evan Marshall to Reno.
Nuno was 3-2 with a 3.23 ERA in six starts with the Aces.
Marshall was 0-2 with a 6.08 ERA in 13 appearances with the Diamondbacks. He had struggled for most of his time with the big league club but had been better in recent outings.
Manager Chip Hale says Marshall seems to have started to figure out what his problems are and going to Reno will allow him to continue to work on them.

text: A year after overpowering local competition and making a second straight team state finals appearance, Penn boys tennis is led by Troy Brinker. Coach Richard Dukeshier says that Brinker, Penn's No. 1 singles player, worked hard this summer to capture the marquee slot. Brinker, a junior, played at No. 3 singles as a freshman and No. 1 doubles as a sophomore. As Penn's No. 1, he follows the act of 2005 first-team all-stater Chris Jordan. Penn beat Warsaw, 3-2, in its season opener on Aug. 14. Brinker handled Warsaw's Deon Shafer, a second-team all-state in doubles in 2005, 6-2, 6-3. Dukeshier, though, said that Penn had to "fight for their lives" to beat Warsaw, which made it to semi-state with Penn in 2005. Though Penn lost to graduation its top three singles players, who combined for a 50-5 record in 2005, it has a history of churning out new talent. The Kingsmen face Marian and its standout, No. 1 singles Mike Koscielski, at home Thursday. Clay hosts invitational Clay hosts area teams at Leeper Park on Saturday at 9 a.m. Three 2005 sectional champs, Plymouth, Culver Academies and St. Joseph's, will attend. Plymouth (14-3 in 2005) and Culver Academies (17-1) return six of seven starters from 2005, though Plymouth's No. 2 singles player Nick Neidlinger is out with an injury while the regular Culver roster is yet to be filled. Plymouth coach Michael Delp anticipates the Pilgrims' progress upon his group's 2005 effort, where they lost to region heavyweights Penn twice and Culver once. Culver returned to sectional pre-eminence in 2004 and 2005 after initial sectional dominance from the late 1970's through the mid-'90's. Plymouth and Culver look to build upon a history of sectional success and supplant two-time state runner-up Penn as the region's winner. Clay coach Bobby Harwood has his entire squad back from 2005, one that is senior-laden. The Colonials rank with Plymouth and Culver in experience. Harwood hopes that Clay also will rank with them in competition. Harwood is confident that his team will fulfill sectional championship expectations in 2006. St. Joseph's dominates Clay's sectional, having won it 18 of the last 19 years. Clay No. 1 singles Siddarth Mehta is off to a 5-0 start. Thin roster for LaVille Numbers have recently dwindled for LaVille. Just two years ago the Lancers filled their roster with 10 players. Now junior Andrew McGee and sophomore Carl Cooper are the lone members of the program. Coach Mike Sumpter views the low numbers as a bonus for both, and believes that they are laying the groundwork for the future. "They are two of the hardest-working players I have ever coached," Sumpter said.

Terence Doddy extradited to Winnebago County
By Jim Hagerty
Staff Writer
Accused murderer Terence Doddy was booked into the Winnebago County Jail Wednesday afternoon, July 16, after waiving his right to an extradition hearing in Wisconsin.
Doddy, 36, is accused of killing his friend, 37-year-old Todd Hansmeier, June 30. He is also the main suspect in a Lee County homicide that occurred the next day at the Willow Creek rest area off I-39 near Paw Paw, Ill.
Police say after killing Hansmeier inside the call center where Doddy worked, he stole Hansmeier's car drove to the rest area and killed 44-year-old Toni Bargman, of Monticello, Ill. Doddy was arrested Friday, July 4, after crashing Bargmans's car in Beloit, Wis. His arrest ended a five-day, nationwide manhunt.
According to court documents, Doddy's wife was granted a restraining order against him following a June 18 incident when he allegedly battered and threatened to kill her. Authorities say an argument about the couple's mounting financial problems and Doddy's alleged gambling sparked the incident.
Doddy has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of aggravated domestic battery in Winnebago County. He is scheduled to appear in court Thursday, July 17. Bond has been set at $1.1 million.
In Wisconsin, Doddy has been charged with driving while intoxicated. Charges in Bargman's death are pending.

Google is exploring a major expansion of super-fast cable TV and Internet web to deliver its content and services by extending its nascent Fiber network to 34 more cities across the United States.
The search giant said in a blogpost on Wednesday it has reached out to cities from nine metropolitan areas around the country, including San Jose, Atlanta and Nashville, to discuss the feasibility of building out Fiber, which Google says delivers the Internet at speeds up to 100 times faster than average existing networks.
Google currently provides Fiber service, at a rate of up to $120 a month, in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Last year, it also announced plans to expand in Provo, Utah and Austin, Texas.
As Google delivers more music, videos and other content to mobile devices, it has become increasingly invested in ensuring it gets the bandwidth it needs. Web-access projects like Fiber could also help grow revenues beyond its maturing search business, and give it more insight into consumers' online habits — which, in turn, is crucial to making ads more effective.
But building high-speed networks is a cumbersome process that typically requires tearing up streets and working with local governments to get access to utility poles and approvals.
In the blogpost, vice president of Google Access Services Milo Medin said the company will work with city leaders to try to make use of existing infrastructure — such as conduits, and water, gas or electricity lines — to minimize disruption.
Medin stressed that Fiber may not ultimately prove possible for every city they consider.
"We plan to share what we learn in these 34 cities," Medin wrote. "It might not work out for everyone. But cities who go through this process with us will be more prepared for us or any provider who wants to build a fiber network."
Some industry experts say Fiber, at speeds of around 1 gigabit per second, may eventually pose a challenge to existing Internet providers though not right now, with its miniscule coverage.
AT&T said last year that it was ready to build its own 1-gigabit-per-second fiber network in Austin, provided it received the same treatment from local authorities as Google.
Comcast , which will become the largest cable provider in the country if it passes antitrust scrutiny for its proposed $45 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable, argued to regulators this month that over time Google Fiber could potentially threaten its business.

Convection microwaves combine the quick heating of conventional microwaves with the baking capabilities of convection ovens. While both heat food relatively quickly, convection microwaves are faster and more versatile.
Traditional microwaves are great at warming up food quickly, and their small size and relatively low cost makes them a popular option. However, the food they heat doesn't have the crisp, browned look and taste of oven-baked foods. Convection microwaves heat food quickly but are better able to match oven cooking.
One of the advantages of traditional microwaves is their ability to cook food on a plastic or ceramic plate without heating it directly. Convection microwaves lack this ability since they circulate heated air. As a result, many foods designed to be cooked in a microwave cannot be cooked in a convection microwave unless the convection heating is disabled. Plastic, in particular, quickly melts when exposed to hot air.
Convection microwaves have dropped in price over the years, and, as of 2015, many are only slightly more expensive than their conventional counterparts. People with limited kitchen space, however, need to determine whether their area has enough room for a convection microwave. Convection microwaves typically take up a bit more space since they contain two heating systems.

The Traveling 'Trep - Intrepid Travel
Intrepid Travel
I love to Travel and I love being an Entrepreneur. Given the fact that I fly over 100,000 miles a year, for business & pleasure, I guess one could call me The Traveling 'Trep (Self Proclaimed :) ). Below you will find a variety of pictures and tidbits from my travels as well as my top tips for traveling. Please feel free to email me at email@example.com if you would like recommendations for anything travel related, I always love to share my experiences and the tricks I have learned along the way.
First, here is a list of my top 5 tips for traveling:
- Don't check a bag, in other words travel light & smart. This will save you time, hassle, and the chance of losing your baggage. It is also easier getting around your destination.
- Don't Google the place or places you are traveling to. To travel somewhere is to experience it for yourself. If you read too much online about everyone else's experiences you will be prone to making up your mind about a place before ever getting there. Do enough research to know about the main attractions you want to see but then leave the rest to unfold as you explore.
- Sign up for the Global Entry program. This gives you expedited security clearance when returning to the States from abroad. In addition to this it also automatically signs you up for TSA Precheck on all domestic airlines, thus giving you expedited security clearance for domestic travel as well. It costs $100 for 5 years, well worth it!
- Stay hydrated. Drinking enough water can make a huge difference in how you feel, especially when you are crossing multiple time zones. You can bring empty water bottle through security and then fill them at a drinking fountain. This saves you the cost of buying one at the crazy prices in airports. You also can ask to have them filled while on the plane.
- Keep an open mind, and have fun! Traveling, wherever it may be, exposes you to new people, places, and things. Embrace them, enjoy them, learn about them and then share it with others!
Now please enjoy my random sampling of pictures from around the world.
