7 Times Jennifer Lopez Oozed Sex Appeal in Her Tiniest Costumes
Jennifer Lopez may still be "Jenny From the Block," but she's also global superstar.
The 48-year-old has taken nearly every aspect of the entertainment industry by storm throughout her career, paving her way to become an international singer, television and movie actress, dancer and fashion designer.
With a thespian's approach, J-Lo's grandest moments seem to happen when her skills collide on stage.
When Lopez takes the stage for her concerts or special performances, she wows crowds with her live vocals and sexy dance breaks, but fans are perhaps most impressed by the way her itty-bitty costumes form perfectly to her curves and accentuate her smooth moves.
Keep scrolling to take a peek at some of the "On the Floor" singer's hottest on-stage costume moments — but prepared to be floored by her beauty.
Lopez heated up her Calibash Las Vegas performance in January with a not-so-subtle nod to beau Alex Rodriguez.
While she donned a custom gold-zipper Michael Ngo black zipper jacket, black sexy leotard, fishnet tights and high-high heels for her performance, she complemented the look with a romantic accessory: a gold-studded New York Yankees flat bill hat to pay tribute to her baseball legend boyfriend.
Not only did Lopez rep her man's former team, she outfitted her entire tribe of dancers with black Yankees flat bill hats and baseball bats as they danced to "Jenny From the Block" and her repertoire of Latin and hip hop hits.
"Issa lion...," Lopez captioned her photo from the performance, adding hashtags for "calibash," "amor amor amor," and "Leos be like." Fans loved the hot look, with 513,000 double tapping the Instagram shot.
"Fun night at Calibash!!" Lopez captioned this photo from her first show on the latin-inspired collaborative tour, which left 838,000 Instagram fans longing for more.
After the first show, the "Amor Amor Amor" singer was met on the side of the stage by a starry-eyed Rodriguez, who has attended nearly all of the singer's most recent performances. The adorable pair have been going strong since they went public with their relationship in February 2017.
Lopez admitted on Instagram that this sexy shot of her big dance move in a revealing copper costume was inspired by musical icon Tina Turner.
"When I get in my [Tina Turner zone]," she captioned the photo, adding hashtags like, funk, dance and "I ain't yo mama." Lopez's shot was well-loved by fans, with 611,000 of her loyal followers liking the image.
J-Lo stunned fans last year when she hit the stage in this revealing nude and blue velvet bodysuit with studded and striped tights and thigh-high boots.
"One more time!!!" she wrote alongside the photo which she shared around Thanksgiving in 2017. "I'm feeling so grateful for all the amazing love in my life." Fans were loving both the sweet message and sexy costume, giving the photo more than 864,000 likes.
Lopez gave guests of her "All I Have" Vegas residency a real show in this nude rhinestone-clad bodysuit that left little to the imagination.
The shot gives fans a look at the singer's perfectly toned washboard abs, which she credits to a strict workout regimen and clean, nutrient-rich diet.
"Last night's show," she wrote, adding the hashtags "red hot" and "all I have." The sexy photo was well-loved by fans, and 812,000 double tapped to show their appreciation for the hot snap.
Lopez let her toned body do all the talking in this star-embellished black bodysuit for a special Las Vegas-themed issue of Paper magazine.
In front of rows of giant rhinestones, the "All I Have" performer stunned in the photo shoot wearing the bustier-style studded leotard, fishnet tights and full-glam hair and makeup.
She didn't bother to caption the fierce shot from her photo shoot, but 559,000 showed their love for the image's major sex appeal.
For NBC's Fourth of July special, the temperatures and tunes were hot, but J-Lo was hotter. The singer stunned on Macy's Fireworks Spectacular as she performed "NiTuNiYo" in a high-neck, long-sleeved black dress that packed major drama on the bottom.
Lopez kept it classy on top, but the dress' extended double slit showed off Lopez's bare, insanely toned pins.
"Are you ready for TONIGHT!?" she captioned the hot picture, which got the attention of 616,000 thirsty fans.

Electronic waste is a hot topic right now with some light being brought to the fact that many of the electronic devices we think we are recycling are turning up in large volumes in poor countries overseas. It is alarming to see the amount of e-waste that has been found in China, Africa, and Mexico to name a few. Below are a couple of videos that give a visual of the problems that are being caused by the massive amounts of e-waste being sent overseas to be discarded.
It is extremely disheartening to see the extremely dangerous position the people have to work and live in that have the misfortune of dissembling, sorting, and destroying our electronic waste. There is no question that the people who work with our e-waste are putting their health in jeopardy but it is also painfully obvious that our environment is suffering also. Images of dark orange and black plumes of smoke coming from burning piles of wires and metal components illustrates just how detrimental these practices are in every element. It will be very important for our society to find ways to ensure that the electronic products we "recycle" are actually being handled safely and are not contributing to manipulating and taking advantage of poor countries already dim situations.

I had promised a couple of you that I would take some time today to make a good, thorough post explaining the different types of vagrants I have come across in my 12 years of transiency. Unfortunately I spent nearly all of my hour online today here at the public library looking at instructional videos on how to butcher a goose.
I hate to tell you you'll need to wait another day, but I assure you it will get done tomorrow. I look forward to sharing it with you.
In solidarity,

a view from my classroom door
Do I teach more or learn more in my profession? Each day as I learn more about my students and how they view the world I realize you never stop learning. Even though I have students two or three years I continue to learn more about them each year. I realize part of that is because I am their writing teacher and students often share more of their inner thoughts and events of life through writing.
Just today I was reminded how death has recently touched numerous students in ways I never realized. I learned that one student that appears tough on the outside was a bit scared when we did some research on the beginnings of some popular urban legends today. I also learned that a new student I just met is a pow wow dancer and travels all over the northwest performing with her family in pow wows and has lots to teach me.
How much do I really teach? I often see myself more as a coach or guide than a teacher. I don't teach them to read words or write the alphabet. I do coach them as to how to think deeper and respond more fully. I also guide them in how to take risks. I also learn how to become a better reader and writer right along with them.
Yes, I am more of a learner than a teacher. Perhaps that is why I stay in teaching. I reread a short story today that I have probably taught six times and learned more. I am challenging myself to become a better mathematician this year to assist students that struggle with math in a learning lab. I struggle with math so I am working side by side with these students so we can think and problem solve together. That will be a huge learning curve for me during this school year. I was really nervous as I took the pre-assessment today along with my students. Perhaps it is a good idea for them to see us out of our comfort zone.

She is an avid runner and despite running marathons she had not been able to achieve the contour of her abdomen she desired. Due to being a mom and a busy professional she really could not afford the down time of surgery. During the consult she had areas of fat in her lower abdomen below her belly button and stubborn pockets in her upper abdomen. She also had some loose skin that is typical of prior pregnancies. I felt that she was a good candidate for Coolsculpting because it would address her stubborn areas of fat and still allow her to maintain her active lifestyle. I used the Cool Advantage applicator to treat her lower abdomen and upper abdomen. She had one applicator for her lower abdomen and two applicators for her upper abdomen. She had two separate sessions one month apart. After each treatment session she was able to go for a run immediately after without any problems. She is now 3 months out from her Coolsculpting treatments and feels that her abdomen looks even better than before she had kids.

Pardee Task Force on Remittances Presents Findings at World Bank
The conveners and lead researcher for the Boston University Task Force on Remittance Flows to Post-Conflict States presented the findings of a recent Pardee Center Task Force Report during a special seminar at the World Bank headquarters in Washington, D.C. on January 8.
Task Force co-conveners John R. Harris and Donald F. Terry along with lead researcher Daivi Rodima-Taylor presented highlights from the report, titled "Remittance Flows to Post-Conflict States: Perspective on Human Security and Development," which is one of the first efforts to systematically analyze post-conflict remittance systems, and whether and how such remittances can play a role in development in conflict-affected states. The topics discussed at the seminar included the current methods and high costs of transferring remittances (money or other goods sent by migrant workers to relatives in their home country), and the need to connect formal and informal remittance delivery systems using innovative technologies and local social networks. The report found that remittance flows to post-conflict countries are often delivered through informal systems with very high transaction fees, and that the amount of money and goods that is channeled through these informal systems is severely underestimated.
The January 8 session, part of a seminar series on "Africa Fiance and Private Sector Development Knowledge-Sharing and Learning", was attended by approximately 60 World Bank staff members and guests, and included live audio participation from sites in London, Brussels and Addis Ababa.
A Pardee House Seminar on February 4 will feature Harris, Terry, Rodima-Taylor, and Nikos Passas of Northeastern University discussing the report's findings and the potential for remittance flows to contribute to reconstruction and development in post-conflict states. Both the Task Force and the Feb. 4 seminar are co-sponsored by the Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future and the Center for Finance, Law & Policy at Boston University.

Longest in-hospital is 30 days. Stories that people with an agenda have told you about truly brain-dead people recovering are fiction. Please note that the law is brain-dead means dead, and "life support" is no longer applicable. ...Read more

Not long: Really depends on the severity of the hypoglycemia. If it is severe enough that the person is not breathing, brain damage happens in about 5 minutes.

Emergent.: The answer is "variable". Depends on how much insulin, whether it's long-acting or short-acting, how quickly the blood sugar goes down.

Petunia's Advice
How to Get Over a Guy
(by Petunia McGillicuddy)
with added commentary by me
1. Realize that anything good in him, is somewhere inside you, too, because you were able to notice it in him and value it.
I'm not so sure about the goodness part...you Plymouth people who know the whole T in TULIP know what I mean. However, it does seem reasonable that we can see the good traits in the guy, which is what we'd like to see in ourselves, and maybe he brings that out in us.
2. Sit at home and cry as much as you want until you are ready to stop crying. watch really depressing movies about people who kill themselves over love (so you vicariously experience self-indulgence) and then watch movies where bad things happen to good people for no reason (so that you feel compelled to get off your tushy and counterbalance the bad that happens in the world).
I LOVE this part!! I tend more to write looooong notes to friends that go in circles and really say nothing, but are very bemoaning and tragical. Also, watching movies where they live happily ever after is more my style. A Cinderella Story and Ever After are two prime examples.
3. Let your friends know you are in kind of a bad way, so that they can intervene and call you to go out, when you pass the stage of feeling sorry for yourself as purging, and into feeling sorry for yourself as turning into moldy crud indistinguishable from the oldest thing in the farthest-back tupperware container in your fridge.
lol, thats so true. My closest friends are able to tell when I was thinking of the guy. More often then not they try to cheer me up. Thats one major reason I love 'em all so much!!
4. Realize that the parts of him you fell in love with are in many places (including you), and that you have the power to recreate what you loved about him, to notice it in others, to bring it out in yourself, or simply to remember and appreciate it. When you are ready, you'll go out and love all the world with the tiny part of him that is really just a mirror of what already existed within you.
As deep and philosophical as that is, if you take the time to think about it, it makes perfect sense. When you fall for a guy, if you really fall for him, not just think he's SO HOT or whatever, there are specific things that made you do so. Maybe it's his sense of humor, the way he treats people, his leadership abilities, how sweet he is to his mom, whatever it may be, you had a reason. It's important to look for that in whoever else is in your little world. And if the reasons you fell for him were shallow or stupid...you'll find that out, too. Little things that you remember about him always catch you off guard, but in time it fades. Hopefully this'll all work for me eventually, too.

so where is she? he asked me.
i laughed. okay. a little nervously,
but i laughed....
you mean little terri?
yep. where'd she go?
yeah. hiding.........
and so i changed the subject.
if my inner child is hiding, i'm not
exactly sure i want to discuss it.
and if someone notices it, i definitely
don't want to talk to them about it.
they're seein' way too much as it is.
and he knows darn well that means
we need to talk.
he's learning tho.
gave me a little space, then got me
feeling safe and asked again.
one word attempts....
and then finally....we really talked.
sometimes i wonder what's wrong with me.
i really wonder....am i damaged?
will i ever get this trust stuff down?
and then i ease up on myself and tell myself
i do....and then i argue back and forth....
like everything else....it's a process.
and trusting....totally trusting is one heck of
a thing to try to do.
specially if you've had your trust blown outta
the water before. and let's face it, we all have
in some way or another.
i still can't look back at some of the broken
trust issues without literally cringing. so i know
there's healing yet to do...
but i can't wait a life time to heal and not trust
'specially him.
if anyone's earned trust, this man has.
and i think of doubt....and what a powerfully
negative thing it is....
and how much i wrestle with it.
maybe i have to stop looking at all the wrestling
matches as failures....maybe i have to start looking
at them as milestones....
because with each match i win, i get closer to
that open heart.
i won another round today.
and little terri came back out to play....

Afghanistan 7
Aschiana is a centre for street kids in Kabul. They do an amazing work. In the afternoon I taught a crowd of them – a great session – but in the morning I spent some time with their teachers, most of them I believe are former Aschiana kids. Not for the first time I wanted them to paint from life, and this is the view I chose for them – it was the entrance to the compound from the main street.
I asked them to draw or paint in no more than 4 levels of light or dark. First I did a quick demonstration and then set them to work – the demo is in blue, and some of their work follows on:

Have I mentioned that salads are the furthest thing from my mind when preparing a meal? The abundance of greens in our fridge means, however, I am not allowed this luxury – I MUST EAT SALAD. I really can't think up enough non-salad recipes to use them all. That being said, once I make a salad – I usually enjoy it. This week we have had an interesting time combining the ingredients we have to make fulfilling and delicious salads.
Common Salad Ingredients:
Salad Mix / Spinach
Toasted Nuts (pecan or almond)
Seeds (sunflower, flax, pumpkin)
Dandelion Greens
As for dressings…
Each time it's different. I start with 2 parts oil to 1 part vinegar: balsamic is good (but strong), apple cider and white wine vinegars are my usual suspects, but for an asian flavor I use rice vinegar. Oil is most often olive, but sunflower can be nice, canola in a pinch. Fresh garlic is fantastic (for you garlic lovers), but ground will do. I like mustard and honey, especially honey because it minimizes the kick of vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste (usually more pepper). If going asian, I'll add any of the following: soy sauce, fish sauce, ketchup and sesame seeds. So many variations! Like I said, each time is different.
A Note on Radishes
I expected this root vegetable to be bitter and perhaps spicy, but instead this bunch reminded me of jicama. They were slightly sweet, crisp and watery. They had an earthy flavor to them, and when sauteed they went limp and became even sweeter.

In light of watching so much Army Wives lately (and the show Coming Home), I went in search the other day of a video I came across via Facebook about a year ago. After a few different searches on Youtube I finally found what I was looking for......
If you haven't seen this video, or have and want to see it again, beware because it WILL make you cry.
People tend to think that being against the war makes you unsupportive of the troops fighting it, which is simply untrue. For me being against war is about wanting to bring the fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, family and friends home quickly and safely. I am so grateful to every person who volunteers their life to fight for this country's safety and our freedom. I also have witnessed the worry that a deployment can put on loved ones, and how hard it is to tell those people everything will be alright.
So I guess I'm just trying to say thank you to all of our troops and all of the people that make sacrifices in their absence.

Electricity network operator Tennet has been ordered to upgrade a major substation in Noord-Holland to prevent a repeat of the mass outage two years ago that left a million homes without power.
Tennet is disputing a ruling by the consumer watchdog ACM that said it had failed to meet its legal obligations to prevent large-scale power failures.
The company claims the law is too strict and argues that smaller-scale adjustments would effectively alleviate the problem at a much lower cost.
A design fault in a high-voltage substation in Diemen meant that large parts of Noord-Holland and Flevoland were left without electricity when the network went down in March 2015. The outage affected train services, hospitals and telephone networks.
Tennet said the ACM had effectively ordered it to create a backup network with duplicate masts and power lines. The total cost would be €7 billion, or €920 for every household in the country.
The company has lodged an appeal against the ACM's judgment. It argues it could achieve the same effect by carrying out a smaller number of targeted adjustments costing an estimated €100 million. Tennet has also called on the incoming government to change the law.

First of all, there was that debate on Thursday night, which I don't really want to talk about much, except to say the entertainment value of Sarah Palin should not be discounted. I can't remember laughing so hard before at any supposedly serious political broadcast. If (as we can only hope at this point) she and McCain are defeated in November, I see a great career in her future: as commentator on a TV news program. It would be hilarious in the extreme to hear any event that might take place "filtered" through her particular version of bland, cutesy, folksy know-nothing-with-a-vengeance-isms.
To hear words spoken disconnected almost wholly from content, you say, has become commonplace under Bush? OK, I grant that, but I've avoided as best I could every actual utterance by our Commander-in-Chief, in part because he is Commander-in-Chief. Yes, that means living in a constant state of denial, which I'm happy is reaching its appointed end. And the only reason I can laugh at Palin, granted, is because she's only a "public servant" in a state very far away from me. Should that change, well, I won't go there... but there's a special circle of hell for people who let fools run their country. As to what else Palin is at present: it became remarkably clear in this debate that she is the shill, which Merriam-Webster defines as: "one who acts as a decoy (as for a pitchman or gambler)." Her entire manner is meant as a sop to Joe Sixpack and Dolores Soccer-mom, those staunch supporters of whatever they find most entertaining and appealing, never mind that if she actually believed in the principles she paid lip-service to (the middle class, new energy alternatives, a rational -- rather than knee-jerk -- approach to the war) she'd have to switch parties, or at least abandon McCain's ticket.
Here's Mike Taibbi, in Rolling Stone, putting it in proper perspective immediately after the Republican Convention, in terms almost worthy of HST:
Here's the thing about Americans. You can send their kids off by the thousands to get their balls blown off in foreign lands for no reason at all, saddle them with billions in debt year after congressional year while they spend their winters cheerfully watching game shows and football, pull the rug out from under their mortgages, and leave them living off their credit cards and their Wal-Mart salaries while you move their jobs to China and Bangalore.
And none of it matters, so long as you remember a few months before Election Day to offer them a two-bit caricature culled from some cutting-room-floor episode of Roseanne as part of your presidential ticket. And if she's a good enough likeness of a loudmouthed middle-American archetype, as Sarah Palin is, John Q. Public will drop his giant-size bag of Doritos in gratitude, wipe the Sizzlin' Picante dust from his lips and rush to the booth to vote for her. Not because it makes sense, or because it has a chance of improving his life or anyone else's, but simply because it appeals to the low-humming narcissism that substitutes for his personality, because the image on TV reminds him of the mean, brainless slob he sees in the mirror every morning.
Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, she's a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove. But more than that, she is a horrifying symbol of how little we ask for in return for the total surrender of our political power.
Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, she's the tawdriest, most half-assed fraud imaginable, 20 floors below the lowest common denominator, a character too dumb even for daytime TV -and this country is going to eat her up, cheering her every step of the way. All because most Americans no longer have the energy to do anything but lie back and allow ourselves to be jacked off by the calculating thieves who run this grasping consumer paradise we call a nation.
And, as Wick Allison notes in this piece, besides mourning the shambles that has been made of this country, it's also fair to mourn what has become of the "grand old party" in the wake of the Bush debacle. I mean, it was canny politics to get him elected in 2000, but after that . . . it was the worst of times in every way, not least in the degree to which the press honeymooned with the moron and kowtowed to his power, to the simple naked fact that he won. From that starting point, with all its bad faith backing of a bad "outcome," nothing good could come, and the record of lip service and ass-kissing in 2003 when the war got launched is one of the most galling facts of recent history. See for instance this review (Sept. 28), by Jill Abramson (former Washington bureau chief of the NYTimes, 2001-2003), of Bob Woodward's The War Within, the fourth installment of his Bush coverage; notice how positive the first book in the series was about Bush's efforts, notice how Abramson herself admits that she didn't work hard enough to publish a piece critical of the incentive for war at the time -- it's not that that piece, if published, would have made any difference in what happened, but it would allow us to look back at a news media that wasn't hidebound, gutless, and gung-ho. That degree of criticism didn't exist in the media at the time. And I submit that it wasn't due to fear of being wrong, it was due to fear of being right -- and of suffering the consequences of telling the emperor he's buck naked. No one with a stake in the system that let Bush take office -- which is to say, answerable to "the public" (i.e., politics) or "the public sector" (i.e., media) -- could risk it. And if the Repubs win again, you'll find, I'm sure, more supposed-to-know better pundits taking the tact of Rich Lowry, editor of the National Review. "I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, 'Hey, I think she just winked at me.' And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can't be learned; it's either something you have or you don't, and man, she's got it."
As a great, as-yet-unelected presidential candidate might put it: it's lipstick on a pig and this time (unlike when Obama said it) the "pig" is Palin, and it's not just lipstick, it's the full rhetorical make-over. Or, from Kathryn Jean Lopez, National Review Online:
"Conservatives are inclined to love Palin. Hard-working, all-American family men and women who don't have their head full of left-wing theories about Republicans are frequently warm to her — if not outright excited."
"Left-wing theories about Republicans"???
Anyway, sorry for the soapbox, this is more amusing, it's the SNL take-off on the debate.
Friday, Oct. 3rd: I make poetry, and so can you!
Friday night I attended a poetry reading at Yale by Carson Cistulli. He brought along his parents and his sister (who spent most of the reading in shrieks of laughter) and regaled us with over 50 minutes of his poems which, while sometimes very amusing, had the feel of "high school wise-guy makes good." The diction was straight off the street -- via rap and advertising and the lingo of the young (which stuff dates pretty fast, as those of us who have been around more than two decades are well aware) -- and sounded at times like surrealist bumper-stickers, suitable for framing as a banner on any Brooklyn-bound subway. Kewl. But my overall feeling was that the evening was the literary equivalent of "Harold and Kumar Read Poems at Yale," which, I admit, I would probably watch and snicker at from time to time. I mean, Harold Bloom jokes, wow.
And though there weren't stoner references per se, there was the general party (or poeticize) till you puke ethos of frat boys (or iz dat Beastie Boyz?) with its titties and beer, dicks are for chix man-child assertiveness. Grab yers and crow, kids. Granted, scurrilousness can be found in great classical authors like Catullus (whom Cistulli admired for getting to use a Latin verb that means "making someone fellate one") -- the most Catullus-like poem of the evening, to me, was the one when Cistulli argued that some poets of his acquaintance wrote poems bad enough to kill a hornet buzzing around his desk -- but in the classics the scurrilous is couched in Latin diction, syntax and form. To write trash-talk in English is no distinction. What did make Cistulli seem distinctive, at times, was his extreme narcissism in reading on and on, seemingly oblivious to the fact that even his sister's sense of hilarity was dwindling. "I've got a T-shirt that says it all."
Saturday, Oct. 4th: Caved
Dig!! Lazarus!! Dig!!!. But I have to say I was more than a bit disappointed. For me, Cave has matured considerably as a songwriter, beginning with 1997's The Boatman's Call (from which he played nothing) and continuing through No More Shall We Part (2001; 2 songs), Nocturama (2003; none), and culminating in the twin disc career peak: Abattoir Blues/Lyre of Orpheus (2004; one song a-piece: the first song of the former, title track on the latter). A pity; I would've preferred a show of recent stuff with an occasional "classic" thrown in for the diehards. Later, listening to songs from the latter release I realized that one reason the songs therefrom might be eschewed in concert is that Cave's line-up was lacking the back-up singers essential to some of the arrangements. OK, but still, there should've been a way to bring us a more stripped down version of "Abattoir Blues," the song I was most hoping to hear, from the year of W.'s re-election:
The sun is high up in the sky and I'm in my car
Drifting down into the abattoir
Do you see what I see, dear?
The air grows heavy. I listen to your breath
Entwined together in this culture of death
Do you see what I see, dear?
Slide on over here, let me give you a squeeze
To avert this unholy evolutionary trajectory
Can you hear what I hear, babe?
Does it make you feel afraid?
Everything's dissolving, babe, according to plan
The sky is on fire, the dead are heaped across the land
I went to bed last night and my moral code got jammed
I woke up this morning with a Frappucino in my hand
I kissed you once. I kissed you again
My heart it tumbled like the stock exchange
Do you feel what I feel, dear?
Mass extinction, darling, hypocrisy
These things are not good for me
Do you see what I see, dear?
The line that God throws down to you and me
Makes a pleasing geometry
Shall we leave this place now, dear?
Is there someway out of here?
I wake with the sparrows and I hurry off to work
The need for validation, babe, gone completely berserk
I wanted to be your Superman but I turned out such a jerk
I got the abattoir blues
I got the abattoir blues
I got the abattoir blues
Right down to my shoes
--Nick Cave, "Abattoir Blues" (2004); here it is on YouTube

Can your takes on these three events all be linked together?
I defined "shill" for my students two weeks ago; perhaps I will send them to your blog for further analysis! :-)

hey, what was the occasion of you defining "shill"?
I guess the link is "disappointment."

We were reading this article:
The article tends to get people to write good things, even if quite a few of the students take the side of the audience in a rather straightforward way.

Apropos article, because the lining-up to vote for lame "mavericks" is much like lining-up to see lame "blockbusters"; the fact of many of those votes and sold tickets is due to the same effective selling, the need for "the shill."
then there's this, from the article you cite:
"our love of movies is sometimes expressed as a mistrust of the people who make and sell them, and even of the people who see them. We take entertainment very seriously, which is to say that we don't go to the movies for fun. Or for money. We do it for you."
Which remind me of Nick Cave singing, forcefully, his song "Deanna": "I'm not down here for love or money...I'm down here for your soul."

Can i start my period if ive taken 2 days of the combined pill on a new packet?
take the whole packet, of course. Mucking about with the pill gets you pregnant.you'll get your period at the end. You don't 'need' a break.
After having sex 10 days into my girlfriends cycle she popped a morning after pill even though we used a condom and it didn't break just to be safe Her period came about 10 days earlier normal?
It is unlikely that she is pregnant
Could you be pregnant if you stopped taking the pill a month ago and had a strange 4-day period last month and you are 6 days late for your period this month but a pregnancy test was negative?
Answer Unlikely. Its most likely a effect from stopping the pill.
If you have been taking BC for 4 months and your period has always come once you have taken the first inactive pill and you missed one pill and now your period hasn't come can you be pregnant?
Answer That is a possibility since birth control pills are not 100% effective.
If you had unpretected sex then took the mornin afta pill two days later and havent gotten your period for two weeks can you be pregnate?
Are you serious??yes,its possible.If you dident have birth control,you should see a doctor.
