QuickieWhat a machine. This unit works so fast and clean, has a crazy sound, but, I get the results I was looking for. Works best right after a shower and your skin is clean and dry. No more batteries needed, it's Electric. I had a very old one from 13 yrs ago with batteries. So, this is a nice Electric, with full head twizzers. Works beautifully. Stated it would take 30 days before delivery and it arrived two weeks earlier. Nice surprise.Jul 27, 2012Donna W.

The Best!!I have owned the emjoi light caress for the past 4 years. I loved it! Epilating is just so much more cost effective, easier, longer lasting results, than anything else. Well the light caress started to slow down this spring, it still works buts sounds like it is working harder and I feel it is pulling out fewer hairs all the time so I bought the eMagine. I love this epilator!! So much faster, much less pain upon use, and was a great price. I am someone who does not epilate more than once a month during winter so my hair gets a stronger root. This means epilating is usually painful for me. I opened the pkg when I got this machine home and did my legs, pits, and bikini line with no breaks, no advil, and no wine for pain releif! That is a huge improvement over the light caress! I may even be able to do further into my bikini area it was so pain free. This is the best so far emjoi! Keep up the good work!Jun 25, 2012JenHAIR TYPEPlatinum Blonde / Dry Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Amazing Results!This thing is excellent! After reading so many good reviews I decided to try out this epilator. I have never used one before. Here are my thoughts. 1. The Pain: I used to wax my legs often, but it's been about three years, so I was worried that the pain would be more then other said. It hurts, but I think, less then waxing. I also have a feeling that the first time is the worst, since now it will grow in bit by bit, there will never be a whole winters worth of growth to tackle again. (lol) Not that painful and definitely worth the teeth clenching for the beautiful smooth results. I also did my bikini line and found it fine, not more painful then the legs, little to no redness. I am thrilled. 2. Easy to use? Yes! Incredibly, and pretty fast too. I am thrilled that I finally found something that I think I can manage the upkeep. 20-30 min every few weeks, with almost no mess. Very doable. 3. Cost: In my opinion worth every penny. Some reviewers said they had trouble with it breaking, but there is a one year warranty. If it last two or three years thats great, one year and it's still worth it. 4. Speed: Took under and hour to do both legs, and the follow ups will be much less time. If your doing your legs I think this 72 tweezer one is the way to go. I'm happy with my choice over one of the smaller ones. Its also not too big for bikini or underarm use, I wouldn't go near my face with it, thankfully no need to. The verdict: Highly recommended! I will be telling everyone I know who cares!Mar 17, 2012Phoebe / BostonHAIR TYPECurly Hair

Virtually PainlessI've been using an epilator for over 20 years. I've owned many different ones including Emjoi, Braun Silk Epil, and Epilady. His hurts the least of all the ones I've used. I have deffinately seen improvements with every new epilator I've gotten, but even in the delicate bikini area, this one barely hurts. I've only had the chance to use it twice, but it certainly does as good a job as any I've ever had. Only time will tell how it will hold up and work. My last one lasted about 5 years. I hope this one will do the same at leastOct 3, 2011Renee M. / CTHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Can't Use For Travel - Only Works In UsThe epilator does a good job. I was counting on taking it with me on a trip but it won't work without a voltage converter. Most other epilators are dual voltage.Sep 12, 2011Edna K.

So Far So Good.This is my first epilator and I was a tad worried about the pain but it barely hurts at all. ive only used it on my legs so far ( a little worried it might hurt some other places lol) Ive used it twice and so far ive had nothing but smooth skin! The first time i got a little irritated but I am very sensitive, the second time i barely noticed anything happening. Stick with it itll change your life.Aug 21, 2011Malorie / OhioHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair

Love This ThingI really like this epilator. No, you will not get the same razor smooth skin you get when shaving, but you can get away with hair removal once a week. When the hair grows back in it is soft and fine, like the hair on your shoulder. Even if it is there, it is not bothersome and not stubbly. With this giant epilating head, you can use it like an electric razor and get big areas done at a time.
The first time you use it, it hurts really bad. You are pulling out coarse hairs at the root. Especially under your arms. If you can make it through that, you will be rewarded. After the first time, the hairs pull out with much less pain but not necessarily by the root. It is also harder to get the fine hairs. But, if you miss a few, it is no big deal because they are so fine.Aug 18, 2011Donna

So DisappointedI was really looking forward to getting the eMagine especially after all of the positive reviews. Unfortunately I didn't have the same results. This really doesn't work any better than the Braun Silk Epi I just retired. I still have to go over the same areas again and again. Plus it doesn't come with the handy headlight that my Braun had. I'd send it back but by the time I paid shipping and purchased another epilator it would probably exceed the $99 I paid for this. I've been using epilators for years so in my experience I'd have to say the eMagine isn't terrible but it's nothing special and not worth the price.Aug 10, 2011Geoff

Better Than ShavingOk well I did my legs no problem its been a week and my hair hasn't grown back it left my skin nice and smooth but when I tried to do my under arms it hurt I will try again but I might have to shed some tears and for my bikini line I normally gym razor bumps from shaving but this definitely got rid of it did hurt at first but you want make sure you to taut you're skin so it won't hurt so much down thereMar 24, 2011Marilyn / Ny

A Little Ouch But Big Wow!It hurts a bit but you get used to it and it works great! Used it once on my under arms and haven't had to shave for over a week so far, can't wait to see long It lasts! Oh, just a tip, make sure your hair is the right length it helps a lot! Love this!Mar 11, 2011LouisaHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair

Getting Down with Duckie Brown
The calmness backstage at Duckie Brown was a demonstration of the way the design duo of Daniel Silver and Steven Cox worked: graceful, creative, and calculatedly laid-back, like poets writing sonnets in free verse with expletives and made-up words. I had the honor of speaking to them moments before the show started, and though they couldn't give away much of what was going down the catwalk, they spoke rich volumes of how they worked as designers, as creatives, and as partners.
The Dandy Project: Tell me about your inspiration for this collection.
Daniel Silver: The inspiration always comes from us, it's about the lives we lead, and the end of one collection is the beginning of the next. So, it's not about a book we read, or a film we saw, or a person we met; it's about everything. Whatever is happening in our lives at that moment goes into the next collection. But the themes are always constantly the same. What's a little different in this collection for Spring/Summer is that it's a little harder, it's a little more muscular, it's less atheoretical. Often we do things that wrap around the body and are much more loose and easy-going and breezy for Spring/Summer, and this collection is the exact opposite.
Steven Cox: Every single thing that I see is inspiration, your nail varnish, your rings, your handcuffs around your neck, it somehow goes into the collection and comes out. But we're not like that. I can fit things in that aren't really in the inspiration, you know, I'm never like, "oh I see a film", so it's everything.
DS: Sometimes we'll say we're going to do an all-black collection, but then we start to see fabrics and we're like "let's do all black, but oh look, there's a beautiful hot pink. Oh no there's lime green, oh look there's chartreuse, oh fuck it let's bring it all back in". So you know, it's how we feel.
TDP: Is there anything special you do when you start preparing to sketch?
DS: Clean up and organize.
SC: Is there anything special I do?
DS: That's what you do. Everything has to be in order.
TDP: It's interesting how your inspirations are from all over and when you start you have to start in order.
SC: Well, I start sketching in a sketchbook, mostly on an airplane, mostly on the flight to London. And then those sketches are then transferred into what I say, proper sketches, which are on the acetate-free like marker paper. It's whenever I'm ready, whenever it's right to do.
TDP: How does your relationship as partners build into your creative dynamic?
SC: It's just natural.
DS: It's all one in the same. We're lucky we get to live together, we get to work together, and we get to play together. I don't know how you separate that or…
SC: There's no separation.
My sweetest thanks to Daniel Silver, Steven Cox, and Ross Fenton.

Another brilliant post! The raw-edged shirt and the entire tartan look… Want. I feel like I need to hire a professional make-up artist too, I love those "tattoos" (I would never get the real thing).
If you lived in NYC, we could timeshare the make-up artist. But he/she must be good at hair too.
Great post and pictures, they are absolutely my favourite designers in New York and such lovely people.
Ja, my hair never ends up that smooth or shiny… I always wonder what they use to flatten it quite so much for the shows.
I see a lot of hair spray used. And it involves hair clips covered with tissue and do-rags.

Mobile and Wireless: iPhone 5, iOS 6: What You May Have Missed in Apple News This Week
Apple iPhone 5
The most important thing to know about the iPhone 5 is that it features a 4-inch Retina display with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 1136 by 640 resolution, breaking the 3.5-inch tradition of past iPhones. "It's an absolute jewel," said Phil Schiller, Apple vice president of marketing, introducing the smartphone Sept. 12 at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. "We couldn't be more proud of it."
It was a good week to be an Apple fan. Apple introduced the iPhone 5 Sept. 12. And while it's faster than previous models and thinnerin fact the thinnest smartphone in the world, according to Applethe most important thing to know is that it's larger than past iPhones. For the first time since its introduction, Apple increased the size of the iPhone's display, from 3.5 inches on the diagonal to 4 inches. Apple's cheeky tagline for the smartphone, then: "The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone." The iPhone 5 runs an Apple-made A6 processor that's said to be twice as fast as the A5 processor in the 4S and more energy-efficient. It also runs iOS 6, the new mobile operating system Apple first showed off at its developer conference in June. The new OS brings 200 new features to iPhone users, such as an improved Siri, turn-by-turn navigation and Facebook integration. As expected, Apple included Long-Term Evolution (LTE) technology in the iPhone 5, though rather shockingly left out near-field communication (NFC) technology. It also used the event to introduce an updated and redesigned iTunes, as well as new Shuffle colors and markedly updated iPod Touch and iPod Nano devices. The iPhone 5 will be available for preorder Sept. 14 and go on sale Sept. 21 through Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Sprint. So in case you missed any Apple news this week, eWEEK offers a handy recap of what's new.

St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians 6:10-17
Prokeimenon. Mode Plagal 2.
Psalm 31.11,1
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous.
Verse: Blessed are they whose transgressions have been forgiven.
Brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand, therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; besides all these, taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Staying Healthy as You Age
Many people mistakenly believe that their genetics determine whether they remain healthy and vibrant and live a longer life. But in reality, genes are responsible for only 30 to 40 percent of longevity and factors that we can actually control - such as diet, exercise and mental activity - play a much larger role, 60 to 70 percent. That means how long - and how well - you live is up to you. Here are some ways to help you live longer and live better.
Healthy Diet
Eating a healthy diet is essential to maintaining health, preventing disease, and increasing energy. Doctors recommend a diet full of fruits and vegetables, protein, complex carbohydrates (such as whole grain foods and legumes) and healthy fats (such as olive oil). Keep your alcohol consumption moderate, as excessive drinking has been linked to osteoporosis.
If you are overweight, losing the extra pounds can help prevent some age-related health problems, including osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes and heart disease.
Your daily requirements for certain vitamins increases as you age while your intake may decrease, so be sure you take a daily multi-vitamin. Especially important vitamins include E, which is thought to prevent certain diseases, and calcium to prevent osteoporosis.
Water is an often-overlooked component of a healthy diet. As you age, your sense of thirst decreases, so you feel less thirsty; and certain medications, such as diuretics for high blood pressure, can cause fluid loss. In addition, declining kidney function means that your kidneys are less able to concentrate urine, so more water is lost. All of these factors mean consuming adequate amounts of water becomes increasingly important. So drink at least 8 glasses of water or comparable liquid (not coffee or tea) every day, and more if it is hot or you are physically active.
Regular Exercise
Numerous studies have proven the importance of exercise at any age. Even if you have never exercised before, you can still reap the benefits by starting now. Regular, moderate exercise can delay, prevent, and even reverse many age-related diseases and conditions. It reduces your risk for heart disease and diabetes and minimizes the symptoms of diseases such as arthritis.
According to the National Institutes of Health, older individuals who are sedentary lose ground in four key areas that are important for remaining healthy and independent: endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility.
Doctors recommend you get some form of moderate exercise every day or most days of the week. There's no need to push yourself until you're exhausted and sore, but take a 30 minute walk in the evening, ride your bike around the neighborhood, or play a round of golf with your friends. Do something to get your heart pumping and your blood moving! You'll have increased energy, sleep better, and feel great!
Walking, swimming and water aerobics are great low-impact ways of getting daily exercise. Or, if you're feeling more athletic, try weight lifting, tennis, bicycling, and aerobics or jogging. Always check with your doctor before beginning any new exercise regimen. Strength training is particularly beneficial as you age. You begin losing muscle mass at age 40, slowly becoming weaker over time. But strength training can rebuild lost muscle mass and make bones stronger, which is particularly important for post-menopausal women. It also improves your balance, helps you to sleep better and strengthens your heart.
Mental Stimulation
Keeping your mind active and challenged is just as important as keeping your body in motion. Research has shown that additional years of education can increase life expectancy. It can also delay normal decline in memory and mental agility.
A study reported in the New England Journal of Medicine found that people who engaged in leisure activities such as learning to play a musical instrument or dancing were less likely to develop dementia. Dancing may be especially beneficial to the brain because it combines physical activity with social interaction, and often involves a cognitive challenge in learning dance steps. Other great ways to challenge your mind include crossword puzzles, sudoku, taking classes, starting a new hobby or learning a foreign language.
Social Interaction
Research has shown that people who are isolated and lonely have a higher incidence of health problems, while those who have strong social bonds live longer and are healthier. In fact, experts say that how socially connected a person tends to be is one of the most important ways of predicting his or her health and independence in later years. Some studies suggest that people with limited social interaction are more likely to die over a given period as those with a strong social network. Many experts believe that social isolation may create a chronically stressful condition that accelerates aging.
Make spending time with friends and family a priority. If you don't have friends or family nearby, join a social group, a hobby group, or get involved in some other social network.
Regular, Preventative Health Care
Health care is important - and not just when you are feeling ill or are injured. Preventative care can be just as important for keeping you healthy and active. If you're over 50, you should get a flu shot every year. If you are 65 or older, you should also get vaccinated for pneumonia. You also need a tetanus/diphtheria shot every 10 years and your doctor may recommend you be vaccinated for hepatitis B and chickenpox.
Be sure you have an annual eye and dental exam, as well as a general physical. Have your cholesterol and blood pressure checked regularly, as well as get a colorectal cancer screening. Women should have annual mammograms and PAP smears and men should be checked regularly for prostate cancer.
Don't be shy at these appointments, speak up if you don't understand something, take a list of questions for your doctor, and do your own research before the appointment so you arrive informed and prepared.
If you notice any changes in your health or have concerns, make an appointment with your doctor immediately - don't wait until your next regular appointment.
Personal Safety
Taking steps to protect yourself from accidents and common hazards is important as you age. Make sure your home is well lighted, especially pathways and steps. If you have hardwood floors, don't wax them and avoid using area or throw rugs, as they can cause falls. Install nonskid strips in your bathtub and/or shower and on staircases, and install handrails on staircases, toilets and in the bathtub and/or shower. Keep a telephone by your bed along with a list of emergency numbers.

i had high expectation for Itachi, he really disoppinted me. Come on' he was acting like a maniac!
Yes i was a cool turn, but it would have been better if he really cared about Sasuke and wanted to protect him.

^Birthday Sig & Ava from Mikessc88 <3 v Birthday Sig from Imotochan <3Lords of the Boredom Zone: Arhazivory Redsquirrel and Crossx21
it is very interesting, because itachi said that obtaining the ms was by killing the best friend, but we see madara and his brother obtain but he didn't say how really they got, he just said they eventually got ms, he kind of contradicts himself, but then again, i think sasuke's dad told sasuke that obtaining the eyes was by killing your friend, he might have even known how to get the permanent eyes, pretty interesting.
How to know the whole truth? There is only three Uchiha left, one is very bad (old geezer Madara), the second is a psycho who could die soon, an the third is Sasuke, who wants to know the truth too. Who else knows Uchiha secrets? Hokage´s top secret files? the Root archives? Akatsuki database? An OVA launch, Maybe?
I´d like Kishi to write a book, kukuku
a bit lame, no offense
the scene didnt make sense afterall, i still think the protection thing will be revealed eventually...
i didnt like it i was hoping that itaichi was under the control of madara or something and was forced to kill his clan and just hiding the pain and anguish, waiting for sasuke to grow up for some tag team action
also sasuke doesnt have the mangekyou sharigan , so it doesnt help itaichi

am i the only one who's just realized that itachi was wrong about how many people had awakened the MS. i mean before he defected from konoha he told sasuke that only two people had acquired the MS including himself (itachi) and sasuke could be the third person to awaken it.
but in the recent chapter itachi told sasuke that madara and his younger brother acquired the MS. which would mean that at the time itachi first told sasuke about the MS there were actually three people who had attained the MS. so i'm starting to wonder if itachi willingly withheld that information from sasuke for his own ambitions or if he just didn't know that madara and his bro had already attained the MS at the time he told sasuke about the MS.

New Theories Arise to Explain Creation of the Moon

The Giant Impact Theory
(Source: starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov)
Two new studies attempt to prove the Giant Impact Theory in different ways
Two different studies say they've found evidence supporting the theory that
the moon
was created from a collision between Earth and a Mars-sized body.
The Giant Impact Theory, which was proposed back in 1975, suggests that the early Earth and a Mars-sized planet called Theia collided with one another. This completely obliterated Theia, and its composition created a ring around Earth and eventually came together to create the moon.
While scientists have been able to explain how this event occurred, one major thing didn't add up: the composition of the moon.
Scientists long believed that for this theory to be true, the moon would have to be composed mainly of Theia's elements. Moon rocks from that were brought to Earth were studied, and surprisingly, they had the same types and amounts of elements that the Earth had, including titanium, silicon and oxygen. This didn't make sense, and has left the theory wide open for the last 30+ years.
However, scientists from Washington University in St. Louis managed to measure a small excess of a heavier variant of zinc in moon rocks from that were brought to Earth in the 1970s. They believe the excess is due to
heavier zinc atoms
condensing out of the collision's cloud faster than the lighter zinc atoms, and the vapor that remained escaped before it condensed.
This bit of sorting by mass is called isotopic fractionation, and it's what scientists have been looking for all along. This shows that the moon rocks were depleted of easily evaporated elements called volatiles, and a large collision could explain this depletion while other theories can't.
"The magnitude of the fractionation we measured in lunar rocks is 10 times larger than what we see in terrestrial and Martian rocks," said Frédéric Moynier, PhD, from Washington University in St. Louis. "So it's an important difference."
But the Washington University team isn't the only one to bring new evidence to the table. Robin Canup, a planetary scientist from the Southwest Research Institute Colorado, used Harvard scientists' findings to create a theory of her own related to the collision.
According to the Harvard team, which used computer simulations to create its theory, ancient Earth had to have been spinning too fast for today's 24-hour rotation. They suggested that early Earth and a body half the size of Mars could have collided where both were obliterated and combined elements to create both
the moon and Earth's
heavy iron core/lighter rock layers.
At a later point, Earth's rotation could have slowed due to the moon and sun aligning in a way that changed Earth's orbit.
Canup used the idea that Earth's rotation was slowed and came up with the theory that two bodies similar in size collided at a slow speed, and their materials merged to create the Earth and moon.

I spend all summer Christmas shopping, then the rest of the year excited about Christmas, downloading christmas songs to my ipod, etc... I am addicted! I love the Christmas lights, and the music, the love, the movies, the Christmas wrapping and such. I just love it!
Does anyone else do the same thing, or should I go see someone about this? ahaha!

"I have been looking for a pair of Nike high tops in a versatile color and had to have these as soon as I saw them online. The shoes are very cute but I found them very flat on the bottom with very little support (as is the case with most high tops). I bought a pair of insoles to put in these and that made them much more comfortable. Other than that, these are winners- I have gotten so many compliments on them already!"

The Emery High construction class spent the last school year building a home in Castle Dale.
They learned how to roof, put in carpet and flooring, framing and all other aspects of home building. The students held an open house at the completion of the home. The home has been sold. The Emery County School District will support the building of another home in the fall.
Students who participated in the home included: Keith Bird, Forrest Boel, Roger Boyer, Adam Clark, Jake Clement, Chandler Fillmore, CJ Gardiner, Kirt Gordon, Brady Jensen, Cort Jensen, Dusty Jensen, Jesse Malan, William Mangum, Housten Rogers, Morgan Burr, Dustin Healy, William Jones, Joshua Knighton, Colton Taylor, Joey Stream, Colton Wilcox, and instructor Jim Keele and assistant Jennifer Jorgensen.
The students enjoyed the roofing and some of them became expert framers during the project. The feeling of accomplishment at the ending of the project was felt by all students.
The students celebrated with a barbeque.

Consumer Tips to $ave Energy and Money
Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency are two sides of the same coin. Most people think they mean the same thing, but they don't.
Energy conservation means reducing the level of energy use by turning down a thermostat, or turning off a light, or turning up the temperature of your refrigerator.
Energy efficiency means getting the same job done while using less energy. Efficiency is usually done by replacing an older, less efficient appliance with a new one.
In this section, you'll find both energy conservation and efficiency tips for your home, office, school, car or truck, and other areas.

Cuba remains undefeated after win over Canada at Pan Am Cup
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico– Cuba maintained its perfect record in Pool A after a 3-0 (25-13, 25-18, 25-22) victory over Canada on Monday evening at the Pan Am Cup women's volleyball tournament.
The Cubans move to 4-0 and pending the outcome of the Dominican Republic-Mexico match later Monday could meet the Dominicans for top spot in the pool on Tuesday. The first place team in each of the two pools gets a bye to the semifinals.
Canada meanwhile is 1-3 and is in fourth place behind Argentina which took winless Chile in straight sets to improve its record to 2-3. The second and third place teams in each pool advance to the quarterfinals
Sarah Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., the tournament's leading scorer entering Monday's match, led Canada with 13 points. Lucille Charuk of Tsawwassen, B.C., added six and Elizabeth Cordonier of Vancouver five.
"We always learn playing against a team like Cuba so we were glad to have them in our pool," said Canadian team captain Tammy Mahon of Holland, Man. "We go tomorrow against Chile and I hope we can find our rhythm because today we had many ups and downs."
Canada's head coach was pleased with the effort by his troops
"Our serves were too easy for powerful hitters like Cuba, otherwise I think we played a good game," he said.

Yamaha YS200 / B200
Yamaha YS200
The YS200 is a 4-operator digital FM synthesizer in a rather funky looking keyboard design released in 1988. It featured an 8-track on-board sequencer with many advanced edit functions and up to 8 song capacity. It has a 61-note velocity/aftertouch sensitive keyboard, can hold up to 300 patches, two LFO's, vibrato, and more. It tends to produce very deep dance/techno basses, eighties digital synth sounds, and new age sounds.It uses the same synthesis as the TX81Z, which means it has 8 waveforms to choose from rather than just sinewaves, which gives it a wide range of possible sounds.
The complexity of FM synthesis is somewhat relieved by the "Easy Edit" controls for basic editing operations, but this can also be limiting since not all parameters are accessible. Full editing of the patches requires a MIDI based patch editor, such as YSEditor, which is available for free but only for the Atari ST. Fortunately, it works on Atari ST emulators for the PC. It's worth the trouble because it allows you to load up your YS with original patches from the TX81Z and some of Yamaha's other classic 4-operator DX synths, making the YS a good way to get your hands on classic patches from several keyboards all in one box.
Yamaha EOS B200
The Yamaha B200 is essentially a YS200 with speakers and a more subdued appearance. The B200 uses rather powerful 2 x 20W speakers and also has a stereo line-in (for amplification only). The pitch and mod wheels on this version form two halves of a sphere, which looks modern but ends up being a bit awkward. In Japan, the B200 was called the "EOS B200".

Na'im Lynn describes how to secure a South African bride, the benefits of an alcohol colonic and why racism is counterproductive.
[loud cheers]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that.I like that.
So, ya'llin a good mood, right?CROWD: Yeah!
I'm in a great, great mood,great mood.
Having a good yearso far. Uh, got my
RushCard in the mailthe other day.
Uh, went out and boughtthis jacket. It's on now.
It's on and popping,on and popping!
I'm happy to be in 2012, man.2011 was a bad year for me.
It was a bad year.Nothing good about that year.
Everything was bad, ended offbad. Christmas was terrible.
You know, my,my nephew's got mad at me
because they asked forAngry Birds for Christmas.
And, uh, I got them threebitches from Philadelphia.
I didn't know what the hellthey was talking about, man.
I'm just happyand I feel good. I feel good.
My New Years resolutionis over already.
I said, this year I wasgoing to stop drinking.
And that's alcohol right there.
I said was going to go ahead andgive up alcohol, you know,
because, uh, alcoholis like... sheesh,
it didn't work.Alcohol is one of
the best things ever invented.People, if you drink,
never quit.Drink until it kill you.
Just keep drinking.
I thought I wasbecoming an alcoholic
because I drink every day.I am nowhere near an alcoholic.
They got real alcoholics outhere, people. Real alcoholics.
They got this new thingcalled alcohol colonic.
This is where people are puttingliquor in their ass.
This ain't even no joke.This is some serious stuff.
People are taking shots ofPatrón to the booty hole.
And I know you're thinking,why would somebody
put liquor in their ass?Well, they do it because
it gets you drunk immediately.And no five, six drinks
trying to get drunk.One to the ass, and you're done.
Dude in the club like,"Ah..."
(panting): "Just trying toget wasted tonight."
"Man, I only got ten dollars."
"About to just takea shot to the ass."
The other benefit ofalcohol colonic is that
you can pass a breathalyzer.
Mm-hm. Cops pull you over like,
"You've been drinking?""I ain't been drinking nothing!"
"Well, g-g-give me the test!Give it to me!"
"Told you."
That's sick that peopleactually do that, right?
Crazy thing is, somebody in hereright now, like,
(chuckles)They'll go home and do it wrong,
pour a bottleof Heineken on their ass.
I like this, this is a nice,nice mix crowd.
I always like performing infront of mix crowds. Yeah.
(crowd cheers)
Yeah, ya'll didn't have to clapfor that but, you know.
Anybody in here racistby round of applause?
That's crazy man.You can't be racist these days.
You need every race, everynationality in this country.
Everybody serves a purpose.That's why our country is great.
I live in L.A.There's a lot of Mexicans.
People, some peoplehate Mexicans.
How can you hate Mexicans?If it weren't for Mexicans,
there wouldn't beno Mexican food.
You ever had guacamole?Guacamole is delicious.
How can you hate Asians, people?If it weren't for Asians,
where would you ya'll ladies getyour fake ass purses from?
Got your fake bags on...
Definitely can't hate blackpeople, you need us.
Black peopleare important, right?
CROWD: Yeah!Yeah...
Black people, black peopleinvented peanut butter.
Yeah, you didn't even know that.Did you, sir? Uh-uh.
If it weren't for peanut butter,people would be
walkin' aroundeating jelly sandwiches, man.
You need peanut butter.
You definitely can'thate white people,
'cause you need crackersfor the peanut butter.
Now, I feel very comfortableusing that word
in front of a roomfull of white people,
because I know the truedefinition of it. See...
We stupid, we think cracker,like, you think
you insulting somebody bycalling them a cracker.
'Cause they likea saltine or something. No.
Cracker came fromthe slavery times,
they used to crack that whipon our ass. Yeah.
I wish I was a white manand a black person
called me a cracker. I'd belike, "You damn right, boy."
Got your cracker right here.
I'm feeling good though, man.
Like, I'm in a, I'm in a great,great space in life.
Yeah, I'm 33 years old, no kids.
Yeah, I'm a catch.I'm a catch.
People keep telling meI'm gonna be an old dad.
And I really don't care.I think you're supposed to wait
till you ready tosit your ass down
in order to have some kids.You know what I mean?
They say it's good to have themearly. I don't believe that.
Your 20s and your 30sare your best years.
You have a kid in your 20s,they're not grown
until you in your 40s.Now, you the old dude
in the club, trying torelive everything.
You in there requesting songsthey don't play no more.
"Yo, you gonna play'Can't Touch This,' or what?"
Man, I ran into this girllast week from high school
that used to be in special ed.
She had her 11 year-old sonwith her. She said,
"Yeah, this ismy son right here."
"I homeschool him."
I said, "What's up, little man?"
He licked the back of my hand.
"Oh, yeah, you'rejust like your mother."
Another reason I don't havekids, people, is because
I'm not married yet.
I'm trying to do it thequote, unquote, right way.
Yeah, yeah, you don't haveto clap because
I don't thinkit's going to happen.
I don't thinkit's going to happen, see?
See, women would be ready to getmarried when they're like 25.
Men, we're ready to get marriedwhen we lose a leg or something.
Like, "Damn, look at thisright here. (groans)"
"Who going to want melike this, man?!"
"I guess I'm stuckwith your ass."
"Let me get down onthis one knee I got left."
Fellas, learn tocompliment your women.
Tell her nice thingseven if you don't mean it.
Tell her nice stuff. "Look atyou babe, look at you."
"Look at your ass,it's getting big. I like that."
Now, when you complimenta women, they can't
just accept the compliment.They gotta make
the compliment make sense."You know what,
the elevator was out of worktoday and I took the stairs."
"So, that's probably why my assis looking like this right now."
But I hate whenwomen get mad at guys
for not keepingthe relationship spicy.
Ya'll can do stuff too, man. Itdon't gotta be us all the time.
I had this one girl,she was on point with that.
She used to call me at work,talkin' dirty to me.
She called me one day,she said, uh,
"What time ya'll comin' home?"
I said, "Ya'll"?
She said,"Yeah, you and that dick."
I was like, Goddamn...
I said, "We on our way."
I got to the door, she had twooven mitts on. She was like,
"Mmm... give methat hot sausage."
"Mm... you wantthe hot sausage?"
Ladies, just try tounderstand me.
I'll tell youone thing about men, ladies.
We cheat. That's what we do.We cheat.
And, uh, when we do cheat,it has nothing do with you.
Stop beating yourself up,talking about
"What's wrong with me,what'd I do?"
There's nothing wrong with youother than the fact
that you don't havemore than one vagina.
Everybody made a big dealabout Tiger Woods
because he was cheatingwith 17 women.
Listen, 17 womenis better than one woman.
Because you can'tkeep up with 17 women.
You don't care about them.
Ladies, when your man gotone women on the side,
that's whenyour ass is in trouble.
Because that's hisother girlfriend.
Whatever you gotfor Christmas, that bitch
got that (bleep) in white.
The point I'm trying to make is,
"The more women your mancheat on you with,
the more he love you."
Yeah, we're nasty though.You got to
understand that about men.We're nasty.
We are disgusting by nature.
I'll give you a secret, ladies,about men real quick.
If you ever go overto a man's house
and you go in his bathroom, andhis body wash is on the sink
instead of in the shower...
He just washed his dick inthe sink before you got there.
He didn't take a full shower.
He shoe-shinedthem nuts up real fast.
He like, "Yeah, that'll do."
Nothing is nasty to a man.
We do anything.Nothing is nasty to us
until we bust a nut.Then after we bust a nut,
then we feel disgusted.
Before, we'll do anything. Wegot a thing in your (bleep).
"Mm...! Take that...(moaning)"
"(spits) (moaning)"
You got a foot in your mouth.(growls)
Soon as you bust a nut,"(spits) what the..."
"Oh, no..."
(moaning) You gotdo-do on your finger.
Oh, no...
What the hell is wrong with me?
It's hard living in LAbecause it's hard
for me to find
what I'm looking for, you know.
Like everything is plasticout there.
They got fake ass, fake breasts,fake hair, fake lips.
You'd be like you're having sex
with Mr. Potato Head out there,man.
I hate, I hate breast implants.
I hate that.
Like, give me the real thing,man.
Don't you hate that?
'Cause it take away the funof the titty,
you know what I'm saying?
When a woman lay downon her back,
her breasts are supposedto fall onto her armpits.
That's the titty with alittle history to it, you know?
Fall to the armpit,get a little deodorant on it.
You suck it,your tongue gets dry.
What the hell is that, Degree?
I hate that.
I take, I take the small, saggybreasts over implants.
You ever see small,saggy breasts, like
this so messed up.
Like, how did thishappen to you?
Yeah, ever see that, sir?Small and saggy?
Like they got two coin purseson the chest.
You put money in her bra.
She put money in the titty.
Like I was saying before,you know,
I like natural women, no breastimplants, none of that stuff.
Like, weaveis definitely a no-no.
It's a no-no.
I know white and black womenwearing weaves.
You know, weave is...
You're lying. It's a lie.
You're trying to fool me.
What if I had dick weave?
You wouldn't like that.
I be using the same excuseas y'all use.
Like, nah, nah, nah, nah.
My dick is the same limp.
I just add this for thickness.
Nah, nah, nah,this is human dick.
They're kidding with that.
"This is human hair."
Yeah, I know,different kind of human.
You got Indian hairand Nigerian sideburns.
My woman has to have ass.That is a necessity right there.
(audience cheering)
Black men love that donkey.
We love that ass.
Only thing a black man lovesmore than a woman with ass?
Is a white woman with ass.
Oh, my God.
Where do these come from?
When a black man walk inwith a white woman with ass,
other black men look at him
like he got on a pair ofsneakers he never seen before.
(laughter and applause)
"Where'd you get them from?"
"Ah, these ain't even out yet."
so I decided I'm gonnatake me a little trip.
So I'm gonna go somewhere else
for a few different reasons,you know.
I said I wanted to go somewhere'cause I need some new material,
I need some stuff to talk about,
'cause I was getting, like,real nasty at one time.
My mother was like,"Why do you gotta be so nasty?"
'Cause I was talking abouttossing a salad and everything.
Like it was... You know,and I had to explain to my mom
that as a comedian, you can onlytalk about what you're doing.
And at that time, I happenedto be tossing a lot of salad.
You know, city to city,
I was finding some saladto toss.
That's just eating (bleep)
in case you didn't knowwhat I'm talking about.
So... let me step awayfrom the ass
and let me take a trip, right?
So, I decided to go to Africa.
Now, Africa is great place.
One of the reasons whyI decided to go there
is because a lot of comedianswent to Africa.
Richard Pryor went to Africa.
He came back,he talked about it.
Jamie Foxx went to Africa,came back,
talked about life-changingexperience.
Dave Chappelle went to Africa.
I don't know what the hellhe was doing out there.
But I said, "I'm gonna goto Africa."
Now, before I went to Africa,
people kept telling meto be careful,
make sure you wear condomsbecause they got AIDS out there
and all that stuff.
I'm, like, "Look, man,have you been to Baltimore?
"It's AIDS everywhere.What are you talking about?
You got to wear a condomeverywhere."
So when I first got there,
I was afraid to have sexat first,
but not because of the disease.
I was afraid because, you know,the stereotype is
that black men are well-endowed.
Now, I am a watered-downblack man as you can see.
There has been some mixing.
Now, I'm figuring this mustbe the birthplace
of the big dick.I'm going to Africa.
I got over there,I was in the bathroom.
This dude looked over,he was like,
"Oh, you are not from here."
But the women werebeautiful, man.
They are, oh, man, you know,I said, like, ass?
Everybody has ass in Africa.Everybody.
I was, like, "Excuse me, sir,no disrespect
"but you got an ass, sir.You got a big ol' ass, brother.
"Go ahead and walk awayfrom me real quick.
Let me look at that thing."
I went to two citieswhile I was there.
I went to Johannesburgand I went to Cape Town.
Now, Cape Town is a cool city.
Like, they like Americans.They love us, you know.
All they got to do is hearyour voice
and they all over you.
I'm just walking aroundtalking for no reason.
I'm, like, "Hey, hey, one, two,three, four, five,
"six, seven, eight, nine, ten...
"11, 12.
Yeah, yeah, I'm American,yes, yes."
Johannesburg? They don't care.
They don't carewhere you are from
if you're not from there.
They don't care aboutno damn Americans.
I was in, I was in this fastfood restaurant, right?
And I had on the feet shoes.You know the feet shoes,
like, where the toe go
into each individual spacelike a gorilla?
And this lady was, like,
"Oh, okay, where did you getyour shoes?"
I was, like, "Ah, you know,I'm from the States."
She said, "I don't carewhere you are from!
Where are the shoes?!"
I'm, like, "Man, they gota Footlocker out here?"
(chuckles)They were rude, man.
So the last thingthat I wanted to do
while I was in South Africa ismeet a woman.
I was at Portsmouth.
I said, "I can't find whatI like here in the States.
I'm gonna find mea nice African woman."
Now this is the thing aboutwomen in South Africa.
If you wantto marry one of them,
they have this thing called"lobola."
Lobola is like a dowry,
which means you have
to pay their father in orderto marry them.
Now, they don't take cash.You got to pay in cows.
Now, this is crazy to me.
I'm, like, "Cows? Where am Igonna get a damn cow from?"
You know, back home, you wantto hook up with something,
you go to the barbershop,you know.
I'm in the barbershop like"Who got some cows in here?"
They're like, "I got twogorillas, but we out of cows.
Damn, I hope you don't mind."
So I wantto respect the culture.
I said, "Let me go talkto her father
and understand about the cows,"you know.
'Cause this how it works:
the average woman is aboutten cows.
Now, if she's good-looking,she's smart,
you might be, like, 15 cows.
If she dumb, if she gota baby already,
she, like, five cows.
So I'm, like, "Let me gotalk to her father
and figure this out."
So I go talk to her father,I said, "Excuse me, sir,
"um, I want to respectyour culture.
"I really like your daughter.I don't have the cows right now.
"but I'm gonna go home,save my cows up, come back.
I just want to knowhow many cows I need."
So he's like, "Who, Lisa?Just give me two cows."
I said, "Come on, man.Stop playing."
He said, "Okay, one cowand a porcupine.
It's my final offer."
I said, "Man, be serious."
He said, "Just take the bitch.Leave!"
You ever have somebodymess your name up,
but then when you correctthem, they get mad at you
like you did something wrong?
"How you doing, Raheem?"
"Actually, it's Na'im."
"Well, excuse the hellout of me, Na'im."
I did a show at this college.
They had a poster with my nameon it.
Nobody knew who I was.
My name is spelled, N-A-'-I-M.
My last name is L-Y-N-N.
So when the students came upto me after the show,
he was like, "Man,
I thought your name"Nah, I'm lying."
I said, "You must be ona football scholarship, huh?"
Nah, but look out.I got a lot of stuff coming out.
Man, this has been a greatyear for me so far.
This show right here.
I just got my first movie,which is a big thing.
(audience cheering)
Yeah. After all these years,
after all these years,they finally coming out.
with a Coming to America II.So I'm gonna be in that.
Nah, I'm lying.

Here's a charming group of second graders singing the "Background Knowledge Song" to the tune of Oh My Darling, Clementine.
The words are a little difficult to understand, which might indicate the kids themselves aren't entirely clear on the lyrics. But the ditty seems to be a reading strategies lesson, reminding the kids to "check my schema" when they read to ensure comprehension.
"Think about all the things I know about the text before I read.
Building schema really helps me comprehend the words I read.
While I'm reading, I keep thinking 'Does what I read make sense to me?'
If it doesn't I check my schema, then I re-read carefully.
"Building schema, building schema
I do it every time I read.
Because it gives me background knowledge
For the next books that I read"
I don't wish to be overly critical of an earnest attempt to make kids better readers. But does it really help second graders' comprehension to toss around (let alone sing about) terms like "building schema?" I'm skeptical. The word itself is more jargon than vocabulary. Call it the Lipnicki Effect. It's cute, funny and sometimes impressive to hear arcane facts and fancy words come out of the mouths of small children, but is there any educational value? Perhaps the better question is what's the better use of instructional time: teaching kids to activate their background knowledge when they read? Or actually building background knowledge?
Sorry, I meant schema.

Cute but uncomfortable
"Purchased these for my up and coming beach wedding. Had to return them ~ very uncomfortable. Seemed like they ran short."

"Sandal was comfortable but the crystals looked very dirty. Planning on using this for a potential wedding shoe but it is far from white/cream."

"These shoes were cute for a dressy sandal that can still be worn casually. The size was pretty much perfect (just a tad short at the heel but I would not have gone the half size up because I think the next size would be too large). There are neutral and multicolored stones and the multicolored looked a little cheap for my taste (but not so much that I wouldn't have kept it had it served its purposes for me). I decided it wasn't dressy/versatile enough for what I intended for but still a nice sandal."

On the margins of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, I joined John Beyrle, U.S. Ambassador to Russia, for a meeting with a dynamic group of about 20 young Russian entrepreneurs to discuss their role in and expectations for Russia's economic transformation and modernization.
One of the topics of conversation was the Skolkovo Innovation Center--a new high-tech hub for research and business housed just outside of Moscow. Many of these young entrepreneurs, who boasted advanced degrees from leading U.S. universities, believed the center would help infuse an innovative culture into Russia. They also welcomed ideas for more business and academic exchanges, which would focus on developing managerial skills in the high-tech/emerging sectors; new business models that would encourage use and development of new technologies; and better public diplomacy from the government on the benefits of innovation and technology to increase demand for these products and highlight their efficiency in everyday life.
Russia already possesses key elements needed for innovation. But to really take root innovation must be given a fertile legal and cultural environment at home and understood as international and cross-cultural: it also requires the free flow of ideas within and among nations and other unconventional models of education and management. I believe President Medvedev and his team have made the innovation a high national priority, to diversify the Russian economy and reduce dependence on energy and raw materials. The U.S. business community and top universities and research institutions are currently working with their Russian counterparts to achieve these goals.
The Skolkovo model is a good demonstration of this commitment. I noted that we hoped that Skolkovo will inspire other centers of innovation to flourish, promoting spin-off firms, perhaps around specific companies, that happened in the U.S. with Raytheon, Fairchild, and Microsoft, as well as around government institutions, for example National Institutes of Health.
Most importantly, good government policies to support entrepreneurship in the whole of Russia need to be put in place, such as laws to promote flexible labor movement, bankruptcy laws that allow easy entry and exit of firms, and investment tax credits. But most importantly the culture should not look at failure as the end of the road but as providing lessons learned to enable individuals and companies to continue the push towards successful ventures--just as did Thomas Edison with the electric light bulb.
In short, the meeting with the young Russian entrepreneurs was inspiring. Their active participation in such an important forum with high level Russian government and international CEO attendance is an important signal that Russia is looking towards the next generation as future drivers of Russia's modernization and integration in the 21st century global economy.

What should I do about missing electoral roll information?
Dear James,
I just obtained my credit report from Experian. One negative point that is mentioned is that I am not on the electoral register. However, I have contacted my council and they say that I am. What can I do to correct this information. Thanks.
Kim, London
Dear Kim,
It's very important that your credit report includes your electoral roll registration because lenders use this information to help confirm your name, address and residential history. Not being registered can therefore cause a delay when you apply for credit and, with some lenders, can even hurt your credit score. If you are actually registered to vote but this information is missing from your credit report, simply submit an online dispute and we'll check this out for you. We hold copies of your local council's electoral registers at Experian so we can very easily check this out for you and correct any discrepancies. I'm sure we'll be able to quickly set the record straight for you.

Good morning. And how many people live inside that tiny strip? Where is ordinance more likely to inflict civilian casualties?

Hi Eric - The difference of course, is the Israeli ability to actually hit its target. For example, take a look at this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvWTom7UUFw
The Palestinians have no ability to control where they hit so they lob their missiles, rockets and mortars at our cities and hope. We fire on identified targets only and will call off a hit if our pilots identify civilians in the area. We do our best to be accurate. We can't always be - welcome to war...but we do the best we can and our targets are ALWAYS military, NEVER civilian. The Palestinians' target is almost always civilian.

Then if what you claim is true, I would expect Israeli casualties to be high and Palestinian casualties to be low.
Yet Wikipedia claims that those rockets have yet to kill 100 Israelis. And Palestinian deaths are in the thousands.
I'm confused.

Eric has bought into the lie of proportionality. The lie that states that both sides have to inflict the same amount of casualties. The same amount of damage. The damage that is coming from Gaza is psychological. The damage Israel delivers is physical.
Until Israel gets tough and finishes the job they started 4 years ago the rockets will continue to fall.

If Eric is a Muslim in a mask, he is here merely to throw sand, for he already knows full well that the war waged against Israel is merely a subset of the Global Jihad waged by the Ummah, or Mohammedan Mob, against everybody who is not a Muslim. If he is a Muslim in a mask, he would also know that Jew-hatred is hard-wired into the core texts of Islam, and has animated Muslim oppression, abuse and murder of Jews for 1400 years...i.e. for centuries before the modern Jewish state of Israel came into existence. Centuries ago, a Muslim 'cleric' in North Africa taught his flock that "love of the prophet requires hatred of Jews"; and in so teaching he was not in the least bit departing from or distorting orthodox Muslim teaching.
If 'Eric' is *not* a Muslim, but merely a Useful Idiot who (forgetting about the phenomena of taqiyya, kitman and tawriyya, all Islamically sanctioned forms of deception in the cause of Islam) has unquestioningly and uncritically gobbled up the false Muslim narrative of victimhood, and of 'Palestinian' Arab Muslim 'victimhood' in particular, he needs to wake up to just those two facts that I have just summarised: that orthodox Muslims are supposed to hate Jews (their religion tells them to do it), and that the war on Israel is a Jihad against Jews, part of the wider Jihad against all non-Muslims. I would advise 'Eric', if he is not a Muslim but merely uninformed, to google the following - Steven Simpson, 'Why Islam Will Never Accept the State of Israel' - which will set the matter out in a little more detail than I have done here, though not at the level of detail he will encounter if he reads such magisterial scholarly tomes as Bat Yeor's 'The Dhimmi', Martin Gilbert's 'In Ishmael's House', or Andrew Bostom's 'The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism'.

Paula, I'd refer readers to the 2009 Human Rights Watch report"Rockets from Gaza" which clarifies points you've made. By firing from civilian locations, using human shields and targeting Israeli civilians randomly, Hamas rocket attacks meet the international definition of war crimes. Israeli retaliatory strikes against specific Hamas targets don't fit the definition.
More to the point, we can't make the assumption that casualties in the Gaza Strip are only caused by Israeli strikes.
Faulty weapons, human shielding and misfired rockets actually landing inside Gaza have killed an unknown number of Palestinian civilians. HRW couldn't determine totals but implied that Hamas both includes these victims in casualty counts and tends to blame Israel for this "collateral damage". I'd add that the source material cited by Wikipendia (footnote 107 specifically) doesn't appear to support their casualty figures.
