Make the Border Kids Americans
This approach will require Democrats to recognize what a few of them may be loath to do: America's churches are indeed populated by people who feel a Gospel call to love and care for "the least of these." It will also require a cease-fire agreement in the war over the specifics of any future regularization bill fought primarily on the right over "a path to citizenship" and a refusal on the left to use the crisis to leverage it for more. It will require, in short, that America collectively put the interests of these children first.
A Pendleton base of operations will instantly attract the support and contributions of goods and services from the amazing network of churches in Southern California, just as it did in 1975. Pastor Rick Warrren and Orange County Bishop Kevin Vann need only summon their thousands of colleagues to a meeting and the short-term needs of these children will be met by volunteers bearing toys, food, clothing and English lessons, as well as adult supervision of the best sort. (Pendelton borders Orange County on its north, home to both Warren and Vann. Their San Diego counterparts would no doubt also throw all in.) It would be a giant Vacation Bible School without the Bibles, but it would work.
Likewise, if officials put in charge of assigning adoptees to applicant parents are caring, non-ideological officials, perhaps jointly credentialed by a body jointly selected by House Speaker John Boehner and President Obama, the adoption process will proceed quickly and with little fuss. Children will end up dispersed all across the country. The lucky ones will be in Northeast Ohio where they can become LeBron fans instantly. The less lucky ones will be sent north to Minnesota where the sun doesn't shine but the Lutherans are welcoming and the State Fair fabulous.
Overnight they will be on the road to being Americans.
Most of those over 13 and under 17 could pass a similar system, though a more rigorous review of their circumstances and personality will have to occur. The reports of recruitment of some of the border crossers by organized crime cartels are concerning of course, which is why screening of older potential adoptees will have to be more rigorous.
Those 17 and 18 should be offered a choice: English school followed by the military for four years or a ticket home.
The humanitarian crisis must be met. It can be met. The policy that precipitated the crisis must be dealt with, and I still believe the beginning of construction of a long, strong, high fence as the visible expression of an invisible resolve to control our border would accomplish that messaging overnight, but neither it nor anything else ought to stop us from caring now for the children in these federal warehouses. A new "Children's Crusade" is occurring, and one that could be as calamitous as that of 1212 seemed to be.
If allowed, however, the people of faith in America will step up to care for and raise these children as Americans. Congress should act expeditiously to allow them to do so, whether or not they can otherwise agree that the sky is blue.

Don't you love when you go to a restaurant and have dishes with roasted garlic? Roasted garlic spreads for your bread. Roasted garlic cream sauce. Roasted garlic & thyme broth over roasted chicken. Roasted garlic ice cream…
Ok, that last one is questionable, but you get my point. Haven't you ever wished you could have the same at home, but didn't know where to start?
Here's a secret… Roasting garlic is super easy! All you need is a head of garlic, a tablespoon of olive oil, and aluminum foil.
Heat your oven to 400F.
First thing first, cut the top off of the head of garlic to partially expose the tops of the cloves.
Step two, drizzle the head of garlic with olive oil, both on the exposed cloves and over the skin.
Step three, wrap it up.
Cook it in the oven for 30 minutes at 400F. Remove it from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature. Once cooled unwrap the foil and gently squeeze the now-soft cloves out of their skins.
That's it, you're done. Spread it on bread with a bit of sea salt, use it in sauces… whatever you want (just maybe not ice cream). If you have any roasted cloves left over simply put them in an airtight container and cover them in oil. They will keep in the fridge for up to one week.

Hello Friends!
After the success of the Tips for Knitbloggers post, I thought I would share with you my knowledge about blog commenting and how it can help drive traffic to your site.
Now please, do not think of this as a plea for comments on my own site. I'm getting comments and I'm happy. I'm hoping that my content is strong enough to encourage my readers to contribute to the conversation, however I think that many knitbloggers are missing the opportunity to promote their own blogs by not commenting. Commenting on other blogs, especially those blogs that you enjoy is one of the easiest ways to draw attention to your own blog. Chances are that if you like the content you're reading, you probably create similar content that other bloggers will want to see, especially if you've read my five tips for creating an excellent knitting blog.
Why is commenting so important anyway? What you may not realize is that commenting creates links between blogs, which the google search robots read as increased popularity of a website. Increased popularity means that you will have higher rankings in google search, which means it will be easier for people to find you and your content, which means more traffic to your blog!
I know that there's some confusion out there about commenting etiquette because Rebecca Danger posted some questions about it and got some great answers in her own comments.
So here are my 5 tips for getting more comments on your blog and for commenting in general:
Create engaging content.
Provide value to your reader. What have you done with your knitting that has helped other people? What have you learned that you can share with others? Are there any interesting controversies that deserve further discussion?
Comment on other people's blogs.
The more you interact with other bloggers, either through their blogs, their ravelry accounts or through twitter, the more attention to bring to yourself, but only if you offer genuine value to the internet conversation. Simply saying "look at me, look at me" doesn't offer as much value as saying "check out this new cool thing I learned, or found, or came up with" or even better "wow, what you wrote about was really cool, can you tell me more?". Being genuine is key.
When people comment on your blog, return the favor.
Either respond on your own blog, or make the effort to check out your commenter's blog. You just might find something super cool.
Avoid a flame war.
As much as controversy can bring traffic and stir up debate, avoid name calling, and taking things too personally on the web. The Internet is a public forum, one that is recorded for posterity and people can revisit. Don't say anything you wouldn't say face to face.
Carry on the conversation.
If you like someone else's blog post so much, feature it on your blog, along with a link to the blog post. Your readers will be thankful you turned them on to something cool.

"I know I've said it a couple of times already, but I really want to emphasize how great this whole thing has been from a lot of different perspectives. This is a talented group of kids who are meeting a bunch of guys from different schools, learning to compete at a higher level while still supporting their teammates, challenging themselves and learning what they need to do to improve, having to listen to and apply constructive criticism, and being coached by a group of guys who know what they're talking about and really care about making the kids better lacrosse players.
I've been around lacrosse for 41 years as a player, coach, official, fan, and now as a parent. I've tried without complete success to explain to people what my various relationships with lacrosse have meant to me and how lacrosse and those relationships have affected who I am. It is neat to watch Wyatt developing his own relationship with the Game, and I can only hope it is as rich and full as mine has been. I couldn't have asked for more from this experience, and I know Wyatt will be a better player and a more confident person as a result. Thank you and all the other coaches for what y'all are doing."

"Last night's shooting clinic was terrific. That's a focused skill for a clinic that neither of my boys had ever had. My younger son learned how to put real pace on his shot, which he'd never done before. And my older boy, who's still new to the sport, was significantly more confident, and controlled the ball much better in his stick over the course of the two hour session. The boys are amped about Amped Lax."

I fell in love with this man 6 years ago. Basically, it was long-distance relationship. After 3 months of our marriage, I saw his phone in which he was talking to some random guys and had also shared his unclad pictures with these guys.
When I confronted him, he confessed and said that he will never do it again. However, immediately, after 10 days he started doing all this again. We both had a fight, and now the problem is that he loves me a lot and I love him too but I am not sure if I should accept a bisexual man in my life. Please guide me whether I should leave or stay with him.

Smoking is a practice in which a substance is burned and the resulting smoke breathed in to be tasted and absorbed into the bloodstream. Most commonly the substance is the dried leaves of the tobacco plant which have been rolled into a small square of rice paper to create a small, round cylinder called a "cigarette". Smoking is primarily practiced as a route of administration for recreational drug use because the combustion of the dried plant leaves vaporizes and delivers active substances into the lungs where they are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and reach bodily tissue. In the case of cigarette smoking these substances are contained in a mixture of aerosol particles and gasses and include the pharmacologically active alkaloid nicotine; the vaporization creates heated aerosol and gas to form that allows inhalation and deep penetration into the lungs where absorption into the bloodstream of the active substances occurs. In some cultures, smoking is also carried out as a part of various rituals, where participants use it to help induce trance-like states that, they believe, can lead them to "spiritual enlightenment".
Cannabis smoking is the inhalation of smoke or vapors released by heating the flowers, leaves, or extracts of cannabis. Smoking releases the main psychoactive chemical in cannabis, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is absorbed into the bloodstream via the lungs.
Apart from being smoked and vaporized, cannabis may be consumed orally or applied to the skin; the bioavailability characteristics and effects of smoking and vaporizing cannabis differ from other consumption methods in having a more rapid and predictable onset of effect.
Cannabis can be smoked in a variety of pipe-like implements made in different shapes and of different materials ("bowls"), water pipes ("bongs"), cigarettes ("joints"), or blunts.
Joint is a slang term for a cigarette rolled using cannabis. Cannabis joints are made with pure herbal cannabis, or a common variation is the imbiber's choice of cannabis mixed with tobacco (commonly dubbed "a spliff" in Jamaica) or various non-addictive herbs; a filler is often used to help hashish burn in a joint. Specially manufactured rolling papers are most often used in industrialized countries; however, recycled brown paper and newspaper are commonly used in the developing world. Modern papers are now made from a wide variety of materials including rice, hemp, and flax. A joint typically contains 250–750 mg net weight of cannabis and/or fillers.
The Mask is a 1994 American fantasy superhero slapstick action comedy film based on a series of comic books published by Dark Horse Comics. This film was directed by Chuck Russell, and produced by Dark Horse Entertainment and New Line Cinema, and originally released to movie theatres on July 29, 1994. The film stars Jim Carrey as Stanley Ipkiss, a man who finds the Mask of Loki, which turns him into The Mask, a grinning, magically-powered trickster uninhibited by anything, including physical reality. The film's supporting cast includes Peter Greene, Amy Yasbeck, Peter Riegert, Richard Jeni, Ben Stein, Joely Fisher, and Cameron Diaz in her feature film debut as Stanley's love interest Tina Carlyle.
The movie was among the top ten moneymakers of its year, cemented Carrey's reputation as one of the dominant comedic actors of the era, and immediately established Diaz as a major star who would go on to have a long career as a leading lady. Carrey was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role, and the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects (Tom Bertino, Jon Farhat, Scott Squires and Steve 'Spaz' Williams), but lost to Forrest Gump.
Doctor or The Doctor may refer to:
The First Doctor is the initial incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. He was portrayed by the actor William Hartnell from 1963 to 1966. Hartnell reprised the role once, in the tenth anniversary story The Three Doctors (1973), although due to his failing health the story was written so he would not have to appear very extensively.
Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old alien Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels in time and space in his TARDIS, frequently with companions. When the Doctor is critically injured, he can regenerate his body; in doing so, his physical appearance and personality change. Hartnell's Doctor is the Doctor's "original" form. The regeneration plot device was introduced when Hartnell needed to leave the series, and consequently has extended the life of the show for many years.
His original companions were his granddaughter Susan (Carole Ann Ford) and her schoolteachers Ian Chesterton (William Russell) and Barbara Wright (Jacqueline Hill). Hartnell's version of the Doctor was also the basis for the character played by the actor Peter Cushing in the 1965 and 1966 Dr. Who films, which do not share a continuity with the television series.
Dr. Who is a character based on the BBC science-fiction television series Doctor Who. Although based on the Doctor appearing in the TV series, the film version of the character is fundamentally different.
The character, portrayed by the actor Peter Cushing, appeared in two films made by AARU Productions: Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965), which was based on the televised serial The Daleks (1963), and Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. (1966), based on The Dalek Invasion of Earth (1964). Plans for a third film, to be based on the serial The Chase (1965), were abandoned following the poor box office reception of the second film.
Cushing made no mention of the films in his autobiography, although he kept a collection of newspaper clippings about them in a scrapbook.
Dr. Who, as portrayed by Cushing, is an eccentric inventor who claims to have created his TARDIS in his back garden. He is a gentle, grandfatherly figure, naturally curious and sometimes absent-minded, but at the same time is not afraid to fight for justice. He is shown to have a keen and somewhat juvenile sense of humour, and a strong sense of adventure with a will of iron and very strong morals.

What a photographer's day is like./
So I thought this may be interesting to some of you out there. Being a photographer is awesome but most of it is the hustle. You have to work your butt off and throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks. On top of that is communicating with anyone who you may come across on social media, phone, e-mail, text message or smoke signals. It's being proactive and taking risks at times and other times playing it safe and doing things by the book and also knowing the difference of when to do which. A typical day in most full time photographers lives means being flexible and nimble. Here's what a typical day looks like for me, give or take a few details.Read More

1. Do you consider yourself a feminist first and an artist second or the reverse?
I like to think of identity being multifaceted. Being a feminist and being an artists are two parts of my identity, and the feminist in me always has a say in my work, and my creative making side always has a role in the expression of my feminist ideas.
2. Why does the color pink flow through your pieces? What do you feel it represents?
I love the color pink. Pink has so much power. Looking at its history and how its has become so gendered and associated with girls is always interesting. I love playing with those preconceptions of pink being soft, docile, submissive or even ditzy and plastic. Currently, pink is the perfect color for my feminist charged work because, it is unassumingly feminist.
3. If a young girl lost in the world of consumer culture and high school drama were to see one of your pieces, which one would it be and what message would you hope she came away with?
The body of work that I am currently working on is Au Courrant, Facing Feminism. I use makeup as the operating system to talk about feminism. In the installation I have recreated a beauty counter like you would find at a department store or a specialty beauty store but the makeup is infused with my own personal theories about feminism, femininity and empowerment. Alongside the objects the installation is completed with a supplementary performance of me providing consultations to young girls about makeup and feminism. I often refer to this body of work as a letter to my thirteen year old self. I was very much only interested in makeup, clothes and boys as a thirteen year old. I would have loved it if subversively I was fed feminist theory and empowerment.
But if I had to pick a specific piece from that installation it would have to be the free sample lip balm that I had distributed to the participants who came in for a consultation. As I was conceptualizing this work, I kept in mind how to continue and spread the feminist discourse, started within the installation, to beyond gallery. The lip balm, Feminism, Spread the Word is a sheer, pearlescent pink, and cupcake frosting flavored. The piece in of itself operates as a discrete object, and embodies the idea of unassumingly feminist.
I picture young girls using this lip balm as a part of their beauty routine, their friends asking about it and sharing their ideas about womanhood and empowerment.
4. Is there a material you are looking forward to working with that you have not had the opportunity to utilize yet?
One way I enjoy working is 'medium is message' and for me I love working with the existing clout a material has therefore I find myself working in unconventional materials. In the past I have made work with materials such as chocolate, gelatin, and chewing gum. In terms of future projects I definitely have some challenging materials in mind, marshmallows is one of them, more makeup, and maybe hard candy?
5. If there were no restrictions and your art could be whatever you wanted, what would it be?
I love that you asked this question. One, because I like to work in unconventional materials, I have been running into preservation and conservation issues with galleries and other exhibition spaces because of some of these materials. And I completely understand that no one like it when a gelatin sculpture starts melting because of spot lights. Second, Since starting Au Courrant, I have been fantasizing about other make up related work. If there were not restrictions I would love to recreate Queen Elizabeth I's throne room completely made up of red lipstick.

For the past few months, I was busy working on an LGLP'd encoder for the Apple Lossless format for FFmpeg.
GSoC is now at an end and I think I pretty much completed all the goals of my application. We now have a fast and usable encoder to complement the existing decoder in libavcodec. By "usable", I mean that the encoded audio plays back losslessly through iTunes and the iPod as well. Before the project was started, the only viable alternatives for producing lossless files for the iPod were to either use iTunes (proprietary, closed source) or dbPoweramp (again closed source).
This is as far as the Windows platform goes. On Linux, both tools can be run using wine but it wasn't quite stable when I tried it. Also, dbPoweramp isn't nearly as good when it comes to compression. Anyhow, as it stands, the libavcodec ALAC encoder is quite fast and compression is comparable to iTunes. That should be a good enough reason to use it :-)
Hopefully, there will be quite a few improvements in the coming days so I can post some concrete benchmarks.
End of GSoC 2008
For the past few months, I was busy working on an LGLP'd encoder for the Apple Lossless format for FFmpeg.
Well, I finally decided that I needed a dumping ground for some random thoughts and rants. Hopefully, It could also be useful to somebody who shares similar interests.
Stay tuned!

The presence of a little third notch on Bonito Notched and Temporal points has interested me for a number of years. I first saw these point types in person in 2011 while helping teach for the Archaeology Southwest Field School out in southwest New Mexico. These points were made throughout the western half of New Mexico and into eastern AZ. I wouldn't be surprised to see these points in northern Mexico given prehistoric interaction. People made these points during the Late Prehistoric period, Pueblo II to III time frame, placing them around A.D. 950-1150. Bonito points were in vogue in Chaco Canyon during the Classic Bonito phase (A.D. 1020-1120) when construction at the massive Pueblo Bonito was completed. Check out Justice 2002:254 for info on how these relate to earlier Chaco point forms. Bonito points were contemporaneous with non-triple notched points for some time, as both types have been found together in excavated arrow bundles at Pueblo Bonito (Judd 1954).
|Temporal Point from Fornholdt Site, Mule Creek, NM
Temporal points occupy a more southerly region and are more or less restricted to southwest New Mexico and eastern AZ. These points also have a third notch along one margin and date to the Late prehistoric; around A.D. 900-1200 is a good ball park date range.
The points were typically made from flake blanks and often exhibit the original flake scar from core removal. I can typically produce a point of this kind within 15 minutes. They are thin, sharp, and a welcome asset to any quiver.
The third notch was not used as an additional element for hafting the point to a foreshaft as hafted points have been found at Pueblo Bonito with sinew wraps only around the lower two notches (Justice 2002:41; Cosgrove 1947).
So, is a third notch on one side a technological advantage, or should we look outside of technological function to explain this attribute?
|Area of Fornholdt Site, NM with mule deer in distance
The Test
I wanted to see if the single third notch along one side aided in consistent and predictable fragmentation. If the points failed to show a clear advantage over serrated points or normal point breakage patterns then we might start entertaining ideas of social, rather than technological function. for a pilot study I created five hafted points with a single notch on one side. These points were shot with a recurve bow into meat targets until breakage was achieved. The broken points were observed for breakage patterning to understand technological function versus a more vaporous social marker.
|Set of Bonito Notched and Temporal points ready for hafting
|Hafted points with a third notch along one side
All points functioned well and took several hard impacts prior to any sort of impact damage. As always, I would want more data. Only one point exhibited a break along the third notch. All others broke at the tip or at the intersection of haft and point, where in my experience a majority of breakage occurs during impact. At this point I cannot comfortably attribute the single third notch as a technological advantage over serrated points or straight-edged points. The third notch did not make breakage patterns more predictable, nor did it make the point into some kind of frangible arrow point.
|The remaining points show no strict breakage patterning
|One point broke along the third notch
|Temporal point going strong after several impacts
I can see why we would think the third notch functioned as as technological advantage. for instance, perhaps the third notch was a quick way of making the point break apart on impact with bone, which is a good thing in some cases. But, this was not the case. The points broke in relatively normal order. In fact, the points took just as much of a beating prior to breakage as any other point. I had to shoot the points through sinew and light bone up to five times before any type of breakage occurred. This is of course luck of the draw, as one major bone impact on the first shot would cause a break. But, at the end of the day, shot after shot, the points did not show any superiority in breakage patterning to other points tested so far. Perhaps in this case we have a social function or marker of time and place flaked into stone rather than strict technological choice. More tests will help, but for now I have been persuaded to look at these types as a mark of identity, rather than technological/functional adaptation. Possible social functions? Your guess is as good as mine.

Some memories feel like a dream: just over 1.5 months have passed since the District 21 Fall Conference in Parksville. A part of my mind still asks "did that really happen?" In truth, it almost didn't happen.
Teamwork and Leadership
For the past few months in Toastmasters, I have been crossing off bucket-list items. One item is to complete my Competent Leadership (CL) manual. (Yes, I still don't have my CL award. Imagine that.)
To obtain my CL, I would have to chair a speech contest. It still took a mentor giving me a very strong nudge before I contacted the VP of Ed to sign up to chair my club's Humorous and Table Topics contest. He responded within the hour: congratulations, I was contest chair!
Power of the Positive
About a week ago, I was informed I would be moving on to the next round of the Toastmasters Evaluation contest. I had entered at the club level, placed second, and was done. Two days before the Area contest, I got an email from the first place winner that he was unable to go. It would be up to me to represent the club.
Except I wasn't sure if I would. This was the busiest time for me, hands down. I'll admit I wasn't entirely thrilled about the short notice either. In the end, I took a deep breath and decided to go. Whatever happened, happened.
I won.
Freckles grow at dawn: What the game of Telephone taught me about communication
One June afternoon in the sixth grade, the teacher decided to play Telephone. For those not in the know, Telephone is a game where one person (the teacher in this case) thinks of an initial sentence, and the sentence is passed from person to person until the last person says it out loud. Often times the resulting sentence will be quite different from the initial one. Almost twenty years later, here are three things Telephone taught me about communication.
Letting Go, The Only Way
I'm standing on a platform high in the air, at the edge of a forested valley; the tops of the trees are (by my estimate) several hundred feet below me. As I'm trying to erase that frightful picture from my head, a voice behind me pipes up:
"Alright, I want you to let go of the safety bar and just hang there."
Like hell I will.
Speaker's Showcase: The Morning After
My eyes popped open this morning just before my alarm was set to ring. Through the sleepy haze and howling wind outside, my mind asked me: Did yesterday really happen? Continue reading
Clawing Back Up
The 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russa has really captured my heart with the inspirational background stories. Stories such as the Canadian coach (former Team USA member) that was a Good Samaritan, to Alexander Bilodeau defending his Gold Medal and rushing to the sidelines as soon as he could to find his older brother Frederic, and to Canadian speedskater Gilmore Junio giving up his spot to fellow teammate Denny Morrison and Morrison subsequently clinching a silver medal for Canada. These stories (to me) capture the Olympics spirit.
I was witness to an inspirational story tonight from the Men's Figure Skating, Short Program. Whenever I watch figure skating events on TV, most skaters seem to take a tumble performing their triple axle and quad jumps. Tonight, against my better judgement, I turned on the TV and started to watch. Continue reading
Thankful For…
The other week I came back from a two week trip to the United Kingdom. More specifically, I went to England to visit family and visit the country for the very first time. I do plan to go into a more detailed post about my trip at a later date, but during this (Canadian) Thanksgiving long weekend, I feel a deeper feeling of thanks.
I feel blessed for my extended family across the Atlantic Ocean:
- Whom calmly understood my travel sickness as I tried (unsuccessfully) to deal with the winding roads, and driving on the "wrong" side.
- To my Aunt and Uncle whom let me stay with them without a moment's hesitation, and welcomed me with open arms even when we have not seen each other in over ten years.
- To my cousin and his girlfriend-now-fiance, whom did the same when I visited them in London.
- To my cousin's fiance, whom spent an evening adding to her (already impressive) knowledge of our family tree; I am thrilled to hear she will soon become a member of the family!
- To my Aunt, Uncle and cousins, whom willingly gave up all their free time to play tourist with me (before having to go back to work the next day).
- To my extended family, whom asked me not to wait too long before coming to visit them again…after I had worn out my welcome.
- To my cousin, whom (like me), is not quite a morning person, but on her own accord set her alarm so she could be awake in the wee hours of the morning to give me a hug goodbye before I left for the airport.
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for my family: the ones I get to see every day, and the ones that are spread out all across the globe.
Remembering: One Year Ago
It is time. Fall of 2013 and in the Toastmasters' World, that means the season has started for the Humorist and Table Topics Contests. Thousands of Toastmasters will come together to compete; they will be trying their hardest to make you laugh your butt off, or they will be trying their hardest to answer thought-provoking questions on the spot.
It is almost one year to the day when I stepped in front of my own home club and delivered my own Humorist Speech. I could have never known how far I would get to go.
Before my reign comes to an end at the 2013 Fall Conference, I'd like to hog the spotlight for a little longer and take a quick stroll down memory lane. Please allow me to share the video of my speech at the 2012 Fall Conference for District 21 (Richmond, BC), a speech that would allow me to win First Place at the Humorist Speech Contest.
Ladies and gentlemen, my speech: Mistaken Identity.
I hope you enjoy it.
To My Ten Year Younger Self
For those of you who still have not caught on, I will say it again: I am a fan of Yellowcard. Continue reading

Yasmin is a medication that when used properly is able to help women who want to prevent ovulation from occurring. Ovulation is a process when the egg is released from the ovaries. The drug can also cause alterations in a women's cervical and uteral lining. What this is going to do is make it much more difficult for sperm to reach the uterus and it will also make it tougher for a fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterus.
The main use of this medication is to help women who want to prevent pregnancy. Even though this is the case, it's not a means to prevent STDs. You'll still have to make sure you're safe when having sex if you want to prevent STDs and other problems from occurring. Even though when this medication is used the right way it has a pretty good degree of effectiveness, it works better when male contraception is also used (condoms).
Yasmin is relatively safe as long as it's used the way it's supposed to, but of course not every women is going to react to it the same. Some women will find that they experience very little issues when on it while others might find themselves having to switch to something else altogether. This isn't because the birth control doesn't work, but it might cause varying forms of discomfort to a degree where some women won't be able to sustain use.
Yasmin can also be utilized for purposes that weren't mentioned above, but you'll have to speak to a doctor about this.
If a women decides to make use of Yasmin as their form of birth control, then what are some of the minor potential side effects they might face as a result?
Serious allergic reactions that come with symptoms such as hives, a hard time breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat.
Breast tenderness
Mood changes
Feeling tired or irritable
Weight gain
Changes in your menstrual periods
Decreased sex drive
Symptoms of depression – sleep problems, weakness, tired feeling, mood changes
What are some of the serious potential side effects a women might face if she decides to use Yasmin as her birth control option?
Signs of a stroke
Signs of a blood clot – chest pain, sudden cough, wheezing, coughing up blood, swelling or warmth in one or both legs
Heart attack symptoms – chest pain or pressure, pain spreading to your jaw or shoulder, nausea, sweating
Liver problems – severe stomach pain, fever, tired feeling, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
A change in the pattern or severity of migraine headaches;
Swelling in your hands, ankles, or feet;
A breast lump
There are many different types of birth control a women can decide to take that will be effective in preventing pregnancy. If you decide to go with Yasmin though it's a proven and relatively safe option. Even though the list of potential side effects might seem high, the serious ones are very rare and usually happen only in cases where the drug isn't being taken the right way. There are also instances where the more serious side effects of Yasmin happen when a women is taking other medication she failed to tell a doctor about and a negative interaction is occurring.

This recipe was posted two years ago! But, it is one of my most visited...
Make your Derby-Mother's Day Weekend complete with this southern staple.
Warm cheeses with hints of spice and tang are sure to please every southern mama!
Well, it is no surprise that I have many pimento cheese recipes up my sleeve. I think every Southern Belle has a couple, or that one recipe every one raves about.
Pimento cheese is a staple on tables here in the south. Along with Sweet Tea, Collards, Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole, and Pot Roast. It's one of the many prized recipes handed down from generation to generation.
While this recipe has not been handed down from other generations, may be some day! This white pimento cheese uses two cheeses, Cabot's Seriously Sharp Cheddar, and Trader Joe's Caramelized Onion Cheddar. <--- Have you tried it??? TJ's Caramelized Onion Cheddar?! OMG. It is delectable. By itself. On a burger. In pimento cheese. Go pick up some today! If you have a TJ's in town…. We got one a few months ago, and it has been a hit here in Asheville, NC!
Southern Pimento Cheese Dip
8 ounces Cabot Seroiusly Sharp Cheddar, shredded
8 ounce Trader joe's Caramelized Onion Cheddar, shredded
8 ounce Neufchâtel cheese (we need to save calories somewhere!), room temperature
3 Tbs Pimentos, or diced red bell peppers, drained
1 Tbs Diced Jalapeños, with a plop of the brine
1/2 cup Light Duke's Mayonnaise
1 Tbs Whole Grain Mustard
Splash of Worcestershire Sauce
Few grinds of Black Pepper
Begin by grating your cheddar cheeses - either with your food processor's grating attachment, or by
hand. Place in large mixing bowl. {Leave the neufchatêl cheese till the end!}
In a smaller bowl, add pimentos, jalapeños, mayo, mustard, worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Whisk till combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the cheeses, and stir to combine. It should look like this…
It's not very wet - just "gently" coated.
Now add your block of room temperature cream cheese. Use your strength to combine everything! It gets rather difficult! But, let's burn those calories before consuming them! ;-)
Keep stirring till it is combined well. Looking like this….
Plop into a greased serving dish (I used a 9 inch glass pie baking dish!), and bake at 350˚ for 15-20 minutes. Watch for it not to get too brown and bubbly. If you want to make the top more brown, broil on high for a couple minutes.
Serve warm with either Club crackers, or tortilla chips!

Owning a motorcycle in the US means you are able to enjoy the open road in an entirely unique way. While the majority of motorcycle rides happening every day are safe excursions, sometimes motorcycles can become involved in very serious motor vehicle accidents. To find out if you have a case to pursue compensation following a motorcycle accident, please call the experienced accident lawyers at Clark, Clark & Noonan, LLC. at 732-303-7857 .
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Even if you are confident in your skills as an experienced, responsible motorcycle rider, the fact is that someone else's negligence and careless driving can cause you to be injured in an accident, through no fault of your own. The common causes of these types of motorcycle accidents are:
- Turning in front of a motorcycle
- Failing to give a motorcycle full use of the width of the lane
- Following a motorcycle too closely
- Misjudging the speed of a motorcycle
- Failing to yield the right-of-way to a motorcycle
- Driving aggressively in response to a motorcycle's presence
- Distracted driving and texting
When someone else's poor driving leads to an accident involving your motorcycle, you deserve to be properly and fully compensated. Let our attorneys deal with the insurance companies so you don't have to. During your free consultation, we will explain how we can handle your case and what options you have moving forward.
Motorcycle Accidents and Catastrophic Injuries
Motorcycle accidents cause all manner of serious and lasting physical injuries, such as:
- Injuries to the head and brain
- Injuries to the neck, back and spine
- Loss-of-limb injuries
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Burns
Tragically, many serious motorcycle accidents result in death. Motorcycles offer virtually nothing in the way of protection, so someone who is ejected from a motorcycle during an accident can easily suffer fatal injuries. Our attorneys handle wrongful death claims in the event you lost a loved one in an accident.
In accident cases, we seek to recover compensation that will help make your life whole again. Medical bills and lost wages are just a couple of the things that can be compensated. We investigate how the injury and accident has impacted your life so that we can build the most strategic case for you.
Find out now if you are eligible for compensation for your accident injuries. For a free case review, please call Clark, Clark & Noonan, LLC., at 732-303-7857 . The Newark and Jersey City motorcycle accident attorneys at Clark, Clark & Noonan, LLC. are committed to providing you with personal attention and state-of-the-art legal services.

Valid Versus a Well-Formed XML Document
In XML, a valid document must conform to the rules in its DTD (Document Type Definition) or schema, which defines what elements can appear in the document and how elements may nest within one another. If a document isn't well-formed it doesn't go far in the XML world so you need to play by some very basic rules when creating an XML document. A well-formed document must have these components:
All beginning and ending tags match up. In other words, opening and closing parts must always contain the same name in the same case: <tag> . . . </tag> or <TAG> . . . </TAG>, but not <tag> . . . </TAG>.
Empty elements follow special XML syntax, for example, <empty_element/>.
All attribute values occur within single or double quotation marks: <element id="value"> or <element id='value'>.

First article, read Treating a Torn/Ruptured Cranial Crucial Ligament (CCL) in Dogs (ACL)
So the first night home following her surgery was a nightmare. Roxy cried all night, and none of the medication that they gave us seemed to help.
I would have guessed that she would have been off in La-La-Land with all the meds that she was ramped up on (Meloxicam, Tramadol, Cephalexin, Acepromazine), but she seemed to be absolutely miserable. We're still not sure if she was crying from being in pain, or crying because we had to keep her in a cage. My gut feeling is that it was the latter of the two because we've never really had to confine her.
Thankfully, after crying through the entire night and only 2 hours of sleep for me, she turned off the waterworks and we haven't heard a peep from her since – 2 days later now. The most difficult part is (and will continue to be) limiting her activity to zero. The only time she can come out of her cage is a couple times a day (on a leash) when we take her out to the bathroom.

Socialite Paris Hilton has reportedly proposed boyfriend Spanish model River Viiperi. The 31-year-old is ready to settle down with Viiperi, whom she has been dating since they met during the New York Fashion Week in September 2012.
Paris asked for Rivers hand because so many of her friends are engaged or already married with kids, and she didnt want to be some sad, old loser left on the shelf, showbizspy.com quoted a source as saying.
It is incredibly impulsive because they have only been together a few months, but Paris believes River is the one, added the source.
He has given her an enthusiastic yes, but they are keeping the engagement quiet for now. Paris can see hes a good influence. Paris feels she has finally found Mr. Right, even if he is a decade younger, said the source.

Every morning after waking up, I would open the curtain from the window and flood my room with light from the rising sun. I wanted the view of the city—my impeccable view of Victoria Harbour—to be the first thing I saw. It was a sight that would fill me with motivation and gratitude. And as my trip was nearing its end, I wanted to soak up every minute of it in hopes that the feeling would carry forward long after I left Hong Kong.
Beyond the view, there was something else at the window that elicited wonder from me daily. A bird would often circle around my window, perhaps able to see movement behind the glass and as curious about me as I was about him and his urban adventures.
A bird wouldn't be the only creature that I held silent conversation with.
Visiting Buddhist temples and pausing in the presence of their serenity was a most welcome respite from the constant traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian. Outside, people just stared at the screen of their phone (like most everywhere else, just amplified here amongst 7+ million citizens). While inside, one couldn't help but take stock of their surroundings as the feeling of peace carried over the air with the wisps of incense. Man Mo Temple was a highlight but I also wanted to return to Wong Tai Sin, the "good luck" temple. I wanted my trip to start, and end, there in the hopes that its myth might rub off on me.
On my second visit, I had a strange encounter. One that I should preface with a brief story because I know it's going to sound strange and unbelievable but is not, perhaps, entirely unprecedented. A few years ago, my best friend was on her own spiritual journey and found herself delving into the world of crystals, even attending a conference to learn about their supposed healing power and other mystical properties. One strange experience she shared with me was participating in a breathing exercise circle. As she paced her exhalation, eyes closed and deep in thought, she felt the sensation of someone poking her stomach. Immediately exiting her zen-like state, she darted her eyes to see who it was. And there was no one present. Admittedly, I thought she may have, ahem, also been researching other "natural" ways to seek enlightenment during this period but it turned out to not be the case and she swore by the story.
And now, back to mine.
On my second visit to Wong Tai Sin, I again paid respects at the alters, each representing one of the five geomantic elements—metal, wood, water, fire and earth—and ended by pausing in the Good Wish Garden. It was here that I took a few moments to reflect on my newfound love for the city of Hong Kong, the hardships I've experienced over the past few years and my hope that the future would continue on a path of light ... when I felt a poke. It DISTINCTLY felt like someone's finger poking me near my ribcage. I, like my friend, immediately exited my trance and looked around to see who it was.
But there was no one there.
I looked down at the pond, at the koi swimming around, and for the first time I saw a turtle perched on a rock staring at me.
At Wong Tai Sin, I returned to the same fortune teller I visited ten days prior. On this occasion, he had a line of two women awaiting his seer services. I joined them by sitting patiently on a stool outside his tiny storefront and recollecting back on the futurities he previously shared with me. After involving myself with some dubious characters over the years, that initial inquiry specifically related to my love life. People these days act like love is an archaic concept and feelings don't exist but I am not wired that way. I value honesty, integrity and respect and lament how rare they increasingly seem to be as people treat the emotions of others like commodity to be traded for ego. This toxicity can, unfairly, also taint future relationships as well and while I have met someone who possesses the strong character traits I desire in a partner, I don't want my past to hold any influence on my view of who they actually are.
"They will travel to meet you. You will meet at an event relating to dance."
And so it was written.
My partner is originally from Kerala, India, but has lived in Australia, South Africa and South Korea performing scientific research. I met him three years ago at a salsa dancing class neither he, nor I, was planning to be at. The chemistry was immediate. All night, I noticed him staring at me (and I'm sure he did likewise). When my friend wanted to leave, I implored her to stay just a little bit longer as I felt I wasn't leaving without his number. Too shy to approach him though, I felt I could will it into fruition. Sure enough, a few minutes later he asked me to dance and the rest was history. While we've had our ups-and-downs, our ons-and-offs, we always return to each other as we are best friends.
I waited in line for around thirty minutes and then made the decision to leave. The original fortune I received could have been somewhat vague to anyone, but there was an eerie specificity to my life that gave me hope I already found the answer I was looking for.
The last image of my trip that will forever stay with me is flying over the red lights of a ferris wheel illuminated against the stark countryside of Taiwan down below. Sometimes the perspective you need can only be found at 20,000 feet.
