Your Guide to the Female Reproductive System
In this article
What Parts Make up the Female Anatomy? continued...
The internal reproductive organs in the female include:
- Vagina: The vagina is a canal that joins the cervix (the lower part of uterus) to the outside of the body. It also is known as the birth canal.
- Uterus (womb): The uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped organ that is the home to a developing fetus. The uterus is divided into two parts: the cervix, which is the lower part that opens into the vagina, and the main body of the uterus, called the corpus. The corpus can easily expand to hold a developing baby. A channel through the cervix allows sperm to enter and menstrual blood to exit.
- Ovaries: The ovaries are small, oval-shaped glands that are located on either side of the uterus. The ovaries produce eggs and hormones.
- Fallopian tubes: These are narrow tubes that are attached to the upper part of the uterus and serve as tunnels for the ova (egg cells) to travel from the ovaries to the uterus. Conception, the fertilization of an egg by a sperm, normally occurs in the fallopian tubes. The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where it implants into the lining of the uterine wall.
What Happens During the Menstrual Cycle?
Females of reproductive age experience cycles of hormonal activity that repeat at about one-month intervals. With every cycle, a woman's body prepares for a potential pregnancy, whether or not that is the woman's intention. The term menstruation refers to the periodic shedding of the uterine lining. (Menstru means "monthly.'')
The average menstrual cycle takes about 28 days and occurs in phases: the follicular phase, the ovulatory phase (ovulation), and the luteal phase.
There are four major hormones (chemicals that stimulate or regulate the activity of cells or organs) involved in the menstrual cycle: follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estrogen, and progesterone.

With a passion for the written and spoken word, Ireland has found itself a favourite destination amongst those looking to improve their English language skills
Ireland has a long tradition of excellence in education at all levels, so the development of an international reputation for quality education was a natural progression. Regardless of your age and ability, the genuine warmth of the Irish people means that you don't have to be shy about speaking, so here's what you need to know if you fancy studying English on the island of Ireland.
Students can customise their course by choosing their specialist sport or activities to combine with English classes. Generally, the day is divided up into a routine of classes in the morning, and sports, excursions and activities in the afternoons. Some activity courses even provide leagues for students to compete in their chosen sports.
Irish culture has a global reputation for its excellence, and students can avail of a number of culturally orientated classes such as traditional Irish music classes, Irish literature, culture and history classes. Group tours are organised to visit some of the best-known landmarks, must-sees and cities in Ireland, giving students the best opportunity to explore everything that the island has to offer.
During the summer months, courses are specifically designed to bring the language to life, with opportunities to develop students' English language and social skills through interaction with their peers. English language courses take place over a number of weeks, depending on the course in question. A summer package course will typically offer a combination of high quality language courses mixed with cultural and sporting activities.
Students can stay with carefully selected host families or can opt for campus-style residences. Host families give students the "total-immersion" experience by constantly speaking English to them – a vital element on the road to fluency. Courses tend to be all-inclusive and students arrive as part of groups or individually.

On arrival to Ireland, most au pairs will attend English classes, as well as carry out duties in their new family home. An au pair is a temporary member of their carefully chosen Irish family and is warmly welcomed into the home and taught about Irish culture in a very unique way. It's a great way to experience the island culture and the English language from the inside out.
In exchange for full board and room plus pocket money the au pair will help with the children and with regular light housework.
You and your entire family can study English together thanks to a new twist on the traditional language learning experience here in Ireland. Language schools are now offering parents a semi-intensive course or a summer course, while their children learn English at the same time but in a slightly more fun-based environment. Teachers who are qualified and experienced in children's education will be instructing both the adults and children.
Changing to face the increased demands of professional students, some English language colleges provide valuable internship courses. These provide an excellent chance for students to improve on their English language skills while completing an internship in a chosen preferred industry. Most internship students will be over 18 years of age. Usually students will take English classes for up to four weeks minimum, depending on their levels of English, and then commence an internship/work placement in their chosen field.
Closed school groups (aged between 12 and 17 years) come to Ireland for at least two weeks. A minimum of 10 students are treated to a fantastic array of sporting and cultural activities, organised by the group coordinator at the college. Students are placed in residence together or with host families, and the schools are generally very accessible. Living with an Irish family offers great insight into Irish culture and full immersion into English.
Selected language schools offer preparation courses, high school (also known as secondary school) placement services and a full follow-up high school guardianship service, which gives support to students throughout their time in Ireland and ensures that their experience here is both beneficial and enjoyable. Many students choose to come to Ireland for just one term (usually the autumn term from the end of August until Christmas), while others stay for the full academic year (from the end of August until the end of May).
A select number of students even go on to graduate by taking the Irish Leaving Certificate examination. From this, it's possible to move into third-level Irish university programmes in top universities such as Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, Queen's University Belfast and University College Cork.
All the schools participating in the academic year are recognised by the Irish Department of Education and follow the junior and senior cycle courses. All programme participants must arrive in time to commence school in the last week in August.
English language schools in Ireland offer mature students rewarding language course opportunities that take things beyond the classroom. Many colleges run a two-week "50+" course to allow mature students to improve on their knowledge of the English language. The courses combine language practice with opportunities to explore Ireland's fascinating cultural heritage.
There are courses for teachers at different levels of the English teaching profession. They provide students support in the most up-to-date theories in the field of English language teaching and the skills to progress in their careers as high quality, professional teachers.
To qualify for the "teaching as profession courses," students must have the entry level qualification; CELT (the Certificate in English Language Teaching). This is a comprehensive introductory course, which qualifies people to teach English internationally and in the accredited schools in Ireland. Anyone planning to take up a post in a non-English speaking area is recommended to take this qualification before leaving home.
Language schools in Ireland offer a vast selection of exam preparation courses. They will analyse and practice the language skills and examination techniques required to exceed in the exams. Individual feedback on written and spoken performance will be provided focusing on the use of vocabulary, range and accuracy of grammar and pronunciation skills.
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS), which is designed to examine a student's ability to work, study, or live in an English speaking environment. IELTS is used frequently to determine a student's ability to study in an English speaking university, or to work and live in an English-speaking environment.
The Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE) is an upper intermediate level exam, which recognises the ability to deal confidently with a range of written and spoken communications. FCE is designed for learners, whose command of English is adequate for many practical everyday purposes, including business and study.
The Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) is an advanced exam. It recognises the ability to communicate confidently in English and deal with most aspects of everyday life. CAE is for learners who are reaching a standard of English that is adequate for most purposes, including business and study.
These courses are the most popular for adults studying English in Ireland, and these are held year-round. Generally, adult students attend around 15-20 hours tuition every week in classes of up to 15 students. Standard General English courses are "all-round" courses, specifically tailored to encourage students to join in, grow in confidence and develop their knowledge of good, practical English. General English can be offered at different levels from beginners to advanced depending on the student's abilities.
Company executives looking to expand their knowledge of the English language with a focus on business communication can access courses that cater for their specialised needs. Courses are packaged as small groups or on a one-to-one basis.

Denali's 6-million-plus acres are home to grizzlies, caribou, Dall sheep, and Mt. McKinley.
McCandless's adventure has sparked interest in the Stampede Trail, where visitors seek out Bus 142, the abandoned bus where he took refuge and later died.

Skip to comments.Conservatives Turn on New 'Wash Post' Blogger, Urge Him to Step Down
Posted on 03/24/2006 10:01:52 AM PST by summer
NEW YORK A two-day effort by liberal bloggers to find, and publicize, numerous examples of plagiarism committed by new Washington Post blogger Ben Domenech culminated today in calls that he give up his new position--from some of his conservative supporters.
One of them, most dramatically, is columnist and blogger Michelle Malkin. As an editor at Regnery, Domenech handled her most recent book.
Conservatives had hailed Domenech's appointment to write the Red America blog. "I cheered for Ben, the editor of my last book at Regnery, when he announced his new position," Malkin wrote on her Web site today. "I criticized unhinged bloggers on the Left who leveled vicious ad hominem attacks against him. It's clear, as the good folks at Red State (which Ben co-founded) note, that his detractors were on a search-and-destroy mission from the get-go.
"But now the determined moonbat hordes have exposed multiple instances of what clearly appear to me to be blatant lifting of entire, unique passages by Ben from other writers. It is one thing to paraphrase basic facts from a wire story. But to filch the original thoughts and distinctly crafted phrases of a writer without crediting him/her--and doing so repeatedly--is unacceptable in our business. Some of the cases occurred while Ben was in college; he is blaming an editor for these transgressions. But at least one other incident involved a piece he wrote for NRO after he graduated. The side-by-side comparisons of these extensive passages is damning....
(Excerpt) Read more at editorandpublisher.com ...
The rest of the article mentions Rick Moran and Dan Riehl, conservative bloggers, calling for the Red State foudner to step aside for a different conservatiove blogger (someone without these problems mentioned by Michelle).
The rest of the article mentions Rick Moran and Dan Riehl, conservative bloggers, calling for the Red State founder to step aside for a different conservatiove blogger (someone without these problems mentioned by Michelle).
BTW, I have not yet heard the subject blogger explain things as he sees this matter.
If so, it's hard to understand why anyone does this. It's not hard to paraphrase ideas that are circulating elsewhere.
He's done. Too bad. RedState is my other favorite blog.
However, Non-liberals (and ALL conservatives) are held to the level established by custom, code and law. So Malkin knows Domenech goes.
Or just to credit the original writer.
I wonder how Goodwin's knees are faring in her old age, what with all the time she spent servicing LBJ in her youth.
Yeah, I never understood what happened with that. I read she admitted lifting entire passages; the next thing I recall she was a guest on a talk show for yet another new book. I guess there's no end to "Second Acts" in America.
Joe-the-Chia-Senator Biden, a noted plagiarist and probable 2008 Prez. candidate, had no comment on this story, right....?
"BTW, I have not yet heard the subject blogger explain things as he sees this matter."
Regardless, it creates a major credibility problem. WaPo and its ilk now have ammo to fire back at its MSM critics as irresponsible amateurs. Nope, if the charges are true (and I ask that honestly considering his accusers), he has to go...
2 wrongs dont make it a right, but it sure makes it even.
He probably just hasn't found a good comment to lift yet.
Yes, he would have to go -- but I would still like to hear his side of the story.
Conservatives have the political sense of a pickle. Here the left was hacking away at the guy for the problems expressed by conservatives and would have killed him off. Regardless of his problems, that left wing kill would have helped us in appearances and in demands for more conservatives at the Post.
Now the Lefties can claim "conservatives" killed the only conservative hired by the POst. Way to go idiots.
I wonder what he has on his blog right now -- anything about this?
It's pretty obvious that wapo hired him to fail.
Oh please. How hard would it be to get another conservative blogger? And what did the guy copy? Thoughts from other conservative articles? How does that undercut the ideas posted?
OMG! That picture of good ole (OLD) Doris is just as ugly as her poison pen is!
Nor has Molly Ivins...
---Joe-the-Chia-Senator Biden, a noted plagiarist and probable 2008 Prez. candidate, had no comment on this story, right....?
Nor has Molly Ivins...---
Run, Molly, Run - rats' best candidate in 08!
Sorry, but one of the key differences between the left and the right is that we on the right will deal with our problem children when they happen.
And in the end, we benefit from such.
Yes. And her lips aren't getting any fuller with age.

The first step in our shared Gyokuro tasting journey, this first GY-OTTI will consist of Gyokuro having a targeted retail price of around $47.50 to 52.50 per 100 grams. These are premium grades.
Successive rounds will include selections of Gyokuro at
incrementally higher retail prices! Participants of this round will automatically be at the front of the line for the successive GY-OTTI rounds. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Spaces at this virtual TeaTable are limited to Gyokuro on hand. Also, all teas are on hand, so your teas will be shipped quickly. However, all teas are still sealed and in the TeaFridge waiting to be weighed and "pouched."
Each participant of this round will receive 10 grams of each selections, 40 grams total. As with previous rounds, "DOUBLING" AKA 2Xing will be permitted as available, however availability for doubling will be limited by making sure everyone has an opportunity to participate. A doubling participant will receive 20 grams of each selection, 80 grams total.
The selections for this round are as follows (in random order).
Zencha's Gyokuro the Ultimate http://www.zencha.net/products.php
This gyokuro is also called Hon Gyokuro, meaning real Gyokuro.
Kabusecha is sometimes called Gyokuro or Netto Gyokuro, but they are not real Gyokuro.
Only first two leaves and buds picked by hands are used.
A full-flavored gyokuro.
Maiko's Yamashita Jirushi http://www.maiko.ne.jp/english/shopping/yamashita-gyokuro.htm
Every step of the production is verified with the craftsman's own eyes and the touch of his own hands. This relentless individual care assures best results for superb taste and superior quality of the tea.
O-Cha's Gyoku-Hou http://www.o-cha.com/green-teas/gyokuro/
A very high quality first-flush gyokuro from Uji, near Kyoto. Gyokuro is shade grown before harvesting, giving it a greener color and sweeter taste. Once you learn to make it properly, you wil be hooked for life!
Den's Suimei http://www.denstea.com/gyokuro-gyokuro-suimei-2300-c-99_100.html
Our highest quality tea. This is made from only the youngest top part of tea leaves picked by hand and carefully processed into an ultra fine needle. Its super natural sweetness promotes a mellow state of mind.
If you recently received one of the above, I will do my best to sub a different selection for you!

The Better Than Sugar AND Tastes Good
Verified Purchase
The Better Than Sugar AND Tastes Good
Yacon Root syrup is great! David Wolfe (Raw Food demi-god) talked about it recently so I decided to try it. It's NON-glycemic! So it's actually good for hypoglycemics and diabetics. It tastes good like a sweet molasses and can be used in tea (or coffee) and doesn't alter the taste in a bad way like Stevia. If you're a sugar addict then nothing will replace the white drug but if you like natural, healthy, sweet stuff like fruit, yams, honey etc then Yacon Root syrup is a Great choice! I really really hope they come out with a pourable version with a spout. Scooping it out is very messy, gets on the side of the bottle so you have to wipe it up or you'll have ants.
Expensive, acquired taste
Posted by rdcoons on Jan 05, 2008
This was the first time I tried yacon root syrup. It doesn't have as sweet of a taste as I was expecting. It has a molasses type flavor, yet not as sweet as molasses. It does add a nice flavor to the smoothies I made out of it, but this is probably too expensive to be something that I buy on a regular basis. Give it a try, you might like it.
Good Stuff
Posted by Reviewer2062454 on Feb 23, 2010
Not overly sweet. Used in combination with agave sryup for cookies. only gave it three stars because I haven't used it alot yet.
Very good
Posted by Reviewer2781191 on Apr 28, 2010
I have tried a few different Yacon Syrups now and this is good. It has a slightly more bittersweet taste to others but you quite quickly adjust to this.
Yacon Syrup
Posted by Reviewer1811886 on May 22, 2010
I have to enter a rating in order for my review to be accepted, but i haven't yet tried the product; so the rating is meaningless. It looks good and i'm excited to try a low-glycemic sweetener
diff taste
Posted by Reviewer2129335 on Jun 27, 2010
need to find better use as it really has a different taste
A bit disappointing
Posted by Reviewer2399446 on Sep 07, 2010
Doesn't taste very much.
Good taste
Posted by Reviewer1350062 on Sep 30, 2010
The only complaint is that I ordered another brand before and the amount was double for the same price, with the same flavor. If they go down in price I would order it again, but for now I will go with the other brand.
New sweetener for me
Posted by Reviewer3106204 on Feb 01, 2011
I have used half of the jar so far, and I'm still not sure if I like the taste. I've read in other reviews that it has a taste like molasses. I do not find that true. It has a mild taste, and it is not overly sweet. I plan on buying the yacon powder and using it for baking before I rule it out as alternative to sugar or other sweeteners, which I no longer use at all.

When Maria Shriver gathers five wives of 2008 presidential candidates for a forum next week, it will be a first-of-its-kind event. What it won't be is a debate. "I don't want them to spend their time at this conference saying, 'My husband thinks this and my husband thinks that,'" Shriver said. "One of the criticisms of (presidential) debates is that people don't get to know who the people are, that they are canned. I am hoping that we will have a very real conversation with five women who have extraordinary lives and that people will understand who they are and what they believe." Shriver will moderate the forum, which includes Michelle Obama, Jeri Thompson, Cindy McCain, Elizabeth Edwards and Ann Romney.
It is one of the signature events at the annual daylong Women's Conference on Tuesday at the Long Beach Convention Center. Shriver co-hosts the conference along with her husband, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. As she said, "What Davos is to economic forums this is to women." Other events include a conversation between Schwarzenegger and former British minister Tony Blair, as well as appearances by Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan, Muhammad Yunis, Mexico's first lady Margarita Zavala, Geraldine Ferraro, Christine Todd Whitman and other personalities such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Eckhart Tolle, Nora Ephron and Joan Baez.
But it's the gathering of spouses that is especially timely. "These are women who are outspoken, they have had careers," Shriver said. "They are campaigning not so much as surrogates but in their own right." And of course, they are involved a campaign that includes a former presidential spouse now seeking the highest office, Hillary Clinton. She has undoubtedly helped change the dynamics of what a spouse does on the trail.
Not participating in the forum is Judith Giuliani, who has has taken an active role in her husband's campaign -- and has taken a few hits in the media. Among other things, she has been the subject of an unflattering profile in Vanity Fair.
Now, how did Rooty's campaign central rationalize Jooty's absence from Maria's Big Do?
(1) "Jooty's already a political catastrophe."
(2) "Maria would annihilate her."
(3) "That's Jooty's day to shop and get her nails done."
(4) "Jooty can't decide what to wear."
(5) "VF is (an expletive deleted)."
(6) "Remember Jooty/Rooty bombing on 20/20."
or maybe because since the beginning of the year she's been constantly criticized for being involved.
Now when she takes a step back from a BS "forum" she gets hit?
No kidding? Reno's attending.
I heard Auntie Janet was all tied up, rehearsing as a contestant on Dancing With the Stars.
I don't blame her a bit for not wanting to meet with Oprah's buddy, Shriver. She's about as agenda driven on the liberal side as they come.
I don't think any of them should attend. Itr's just another liberal "feel good", crunchy-granola, sh** on any 'Pub fest.
"Shriver. Shes about as agenda driven on the liberal side as they come."
You bet! Look what she did to Arnold!!
First thing Judy's done right. She's right not to meet with this lib!!
With the exception of Hillary, there are no other women running for President. This is nothing but another distracting sideshow.
EXCERPT: The 2008 Election: Giuliani's Princess Bride (Rudy's third wife)
VANITY FAIR BY JUDY BACHRACH Sept 2007
At 19 Judi married Jeffrey Ross,* a US Surgical salesman six years her senior. In short order both Rosses were working in Charlotte, North Carolina, for U.S. Surgical (now part of Tyco Healthcare), which eventually grew into a billion-dollar enterprise marketing surgical staplers. Judi was excellent at her work, and earned $40,000 a year by the late 70s.
But problems arose when animal-rights groups began investigating the way the company sold its productsproblems recently pointed out by the New York press. U.S. Surgical used dogs in demonstrations to doctors and hospitals as part of its marketing plan. "Every salesperson at U.S. Surgical was trained for six weeks with dogs at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx, and that was really brutal," explains a former employee.
"They spent days and days with dogs, taking out the spleen or stomach or the lobe of a lung. Then if the dog started moaning or fidgeted, whoever was closest would push more sedative into him from the syringe. It was horrible. Then the dog would be killed with potassium chloride."
After training, the salespeople marketed the staplers to doctors, and, once again, in many cases large dogs were used, as they had organs comparable in size to those possessed by humans. "After the stapling, sometimes they'd put a big clamp above and below the staple lines of the dog, and fill [the area] with lots of fluid," the ex-employee says. "It would fill up like a balloon, and the salesperson would say to the doctor, 'Seeit doesn't leak!' That's how they marketed and sold the product."
(Some years ago, former C.E.O. Leon Hirsch defended the company's practice of using dogs, claiming that there was no proper substitute.)
* POSTER'S NOTE Jooty "forgot" to mention Ross, her first husband, both to Rooty and the media. Up until a few months ago, all media biographies of Jooty mentioned only her last husband, Bruce Nathan (the one she divorced to be with the married Mayor----Jooty also abandoned her only child in order to facilitate the divorce from Nathan).
Janet's gonna look great in sequined chiffon and feathers doing the waltz.
But I don't think she'll look that good in the black lace and red taffeta mambo outfit.
Is she running for Prez? Who cares if she attends or not?
When did you register to vote as a Republican, Judy?
And did you vote for Rooty when he ran as a Republican Mayor (before you met him in the cigar bar) ?
Who did you vote for president in 2000, and 2004?
Jeri Thompson has canceled.
Now that explains it perfectly. Thank you.
Maria's a liberal---- and so is Judy Giuliani.
Judy making nice with liberals would screwup Rudy's Extreme Makeover.
The Rino is desperately trying to look conservative.....after he found out
he needs conservatives to look good in the primaries.

" P-u-u-l-e-e-z-e make me look conservative."
Man, they're killing me on FR just b/c I had three wives, several mistresses,
was honored by NARAL, donated to Planned Parenthood, and marched
for gay rights under the NAMBLA banner, and appointed
gays and pedophiles to top city jobs."
"Sheesh. And my stupid advisors told me I didn't need those dumb,
pro-life Christian conservatives to make a primary showing."
Wow! Here kitty, kitty, kitty... Or, catty, catty, catty is more appropriate here.
Isn't Maria friends with Donna Hanover?
Take a chill pill, Liz. I'm not voting for Rudy OR his wife. My comment is that I didn't blame her for not wanting to hang out with old Oprah's pal, Maria. You may want to watch the blood pressure.
Mmmmmmm.......how do you do it?
One perfect post after another.
Must be tough to co-exist with mere mortals.
Very good move by Fred. Now lets see how fast the others start dropping.
Sounds like a mushy even more liberal version of the View. Waste of time.
How about "What a stoopid idea, why not pass."

Maria Shriver to endorse Obama
Posted: 05:29 PM ET
LOS ANGELES (CNN) Maria Shriver will endorse Democrat Barack Obamas White House bid today at a Los Angeles rally.
The California First Lady will make a surprise appearance on-stage at the Sunday event, backed by the candidates wife Michelle Obama, talk show host Oprah Winfrey and Shrivers cousin Caroline Kennedy
Shriver is married to Californias Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who endorsed GOP presidential hopeful John McCain earlier this week.
The former NBC journalist had said in the past she was drawn to Obamas message. Shriver is the niece of Sen. Ted Kennedy, and has been close to Oprah Winfrey since both got their starts in local TV in Baltimore. Both Winfrey and the Massachusetts senator have actively campaigned for Obama.
Californias vote is this Tuesday, February 5. Most recent polls show Barack Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton locked in a tight race in the Democratic primary in this delegate-rich state.
Togetherness——Maria endorsed Obama-—and hubby Arnie endorsed McCain when Guiliani flopped.

The move by the U.S. and the U.N. freezes assets for Ansar al-Dine.
Ansar al-Dine, the rebel group trying to topple the government in Mali, is a terrorist organization subject to sanctions, the State Department said Thursday.
The designation of Ansar al-Dine as a foreign terrorist organization makes it illegal to support the group financially, prohibits U.S. citizens from any transactions with the group and allows the federal government to freeze any of its U.S. assets.
The United Nations Security Council on Thursday listed the group as a terrorist organization, which requires all U.N. member countries to freeze the group's assets and institutes an arms embargo.
Ansar al-Dine, established in late 2011 and led by Iyad ag Ghali, cooperates closely with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, another terrorist group operating in North Africa, the State Department said. That al-Qaeda group has helped Ansar al-Dine fight Malian and French troops in the capture of several strategic towns in Mali, including Gao, Timbuktu and Aguelhok, the State Department said. The group seeks to impose strict Islamic law in Mali.
Edmond Mulet, U.N. assistant secretary-general for peacekeeping operations, said last week that U.N. peacekeepers could arrive in Mali by July. Such a mission would require approval from the government of Mali and the U.N. Security Council.

Business in brief
Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), the nation's largest children's literacy nonprofit, has selected the Greater Richmond ARC's Infant & Child Services (ICDS) program to receive a $396 grant for free book distributions and literacy activities benefitting Richmond area children and their families. The funds were raised during RIF's 2011 Be Book Smart campaign in partnership with Macy's.

A group of five Richmond-based entrepreneurs have founded a new social payment network called PaidThx. The founders are Thomas Eide (CEO), Rob Kirchner (COO), James Rhodes (CTO), Hugo Camacho (executive director of finance) and Ryan Ricigliano (executive director of user experience). With PaidThx, users will no longer have to carry around cash or a checkbook – just their smartphone. The new technology works similarly to online banking tools that are in the market today with one major difference: PaidThx users can send and receive money with all of their contacts, no matter where they bank. The network, set to launch to the public later this year, can be accessed from a smartphone, computer, or popular social media sites.

Goodnight everyone, and have a legacy weekend!
"Whatever I will become will be what God has chosen for me."
Elvis Presley
It's Friday night. Time to unwind with our regular Friday night feature on This Just In.
The weekend has finally arrived.
The sun has set.
The evening sky has erupted.
Let's smooth our way into Saturday and Sunday.
The King of Rock and Roll would have been 79 this past Wednesday.
Tonight, some examples of how the memory of Elvis lives on.
We begin with a remix of his very first #1 hit with RCA.
Of course Elvis did all kinds of music: rock and roll, country, gospel, rhythm and blues, the blues. And his style lent itself to special projects.
I wonder what Elvis would think about a jazz pianist like Beegie Adair putting her touch on one of his classics.
Elvis never forgot his country roots. To this day, a young artist will pay tribute at the legendary Grand Ole Opry.
Elvis' favorite music was gospel. His dream as a youngster was to sing in a gospel quartet. Even after striking it big, Elvis insisted on singing a gospel song on the Ed Sullivan show, and battled with RCA to record an all-gospel album, a fight he would win.
Elvis made gospel cool. Today, gospel shows are a huge favorite on television and in large concert halls. The Gaither Vocal Band performs one of Elvis' gospel recordings that was the title of one of his albums. He didn't do it first, but he put it on the wider, acceptable map.
That's it for this week's segment.
Sleep well.
Have a great weekend.
Before we close, a quick clip from an Elvis movie.
The two lovely ladies in that clip in order of appearance were Elsa Cardenas and Ursula Andress.
An adaptation of Bossa Nova Baby was included in a Cirque du Soleil production, "Viva Elvis." That particular show has been replaced. And there are fewer Elvis impersonators roaming around Las Vegas leading some to suggest Elvis' legacy is starting to lose its luster.
"The number of Elvis impersonators or Google searches for 'Elvis impersonator' aren't reflective of interest in Elvis," said Gary Hahn, EPE (Elvis Presley Enterprises) vice president of marketing and media. "Our business, here at Graceland and around the world, is thriving."
The private company does not make Graceland attendance statistics public, but the EPE website states that "Graceland welcomes over 600,000 visitors each year."
Remember, ELVIS is an anagram for LIVES.

WAUKESHA, Wis. — A Waukesha woman is accused of making false 911 calls to try to get out of traffic tickets.
Aisha Jackson is charged with seven counts of making false emergency calls. Investigators say each time Jackson was pulled over she would call 911 while officers were checking her record or processing her information.
Officers would leave the scene of the traffic stop to investigate the 911 activity, only to find there was no emergency.
WISN-TV reports investigators say they eventually linked the calls to Jackson.

"I absolutely LOVED this design! I got the double matted paper weight and the quality was simply better than I honestly expected. I actually used this design as a gift certificate for my photography, since I had quite a few clients asking to purchase photography sessions for their families. I loved how I could customize text and be able to place several different pictures on the design. These were an absolute hit with all my clients! I definitely will be ordering from tiny prints in the future again! Highly recommended!"
"We wanted something simple, yet beautiful for our baby's birth announcements. We selected the pearl paper, and it's just what we hoped for."
"This product is adorable in real life. The design is modern and girly. The paper and photo quality is excellent. It was also very easy to make. I chose to make my photos black and white, which looked awesome with this particular card. Everyone I sent this card to loved it!"
"This product is above satisfactory! The paper quality is excellent and the pictures printed beautifully on this paper. I would order these again and was very happy with how quickly they arrived in the mail as well."
"This design was great! Multiple pictures can be used and the font was beautiful! Perfect was to announce the arrival of our baby girl."

Even in New York City, the design mecca of America, not all design industries are flourishing equally, or even at all.
The Center for an Urban Future, a think tank based in New York City, released a new report that takes a deep dive into the growth of the city's design firms. Based on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics from 2003 to 2012, the report looks at the number of design firms as well as their employees, and parcels out the data by borough. The report breaks down data into six sectors: graphic, industrial, interior, fashion design, architecture, and landscape architecture.
The Center for an Urban Future is funded by the Bernard F. and Alva B. Gimbel Foundation and Fund for the City of New York.
In 2012, New York City had more design firms than Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Boston, San Francisco, Dallas, Seattle, and Philadelphia. It also had more architecture firms.
According to the report, New York City housed more architecture firms than any of the other five types of design firms in 2012. Architecture firms made up the largest chunk of the city's design firms in 2003 (1,073 of the 3,340), and maintained that status through 2012 (1,333 out of 3,884). The growth in architecture firms was 24 percent—more than interior, industrial, and graphic design firms, but less than fashion and landscape design.
|Growth Rates in NYC Architecture Firms, 2003-2012

Architecture firms boomed in Brooklyn from 2003 to 2012. The number of firms increased by 149 percent, significantly more than Manhattan's 14 percent growth rate and Queen's 63 percent growth rate. (Keep in mind this counts the number of firms, not size.)
In both Queens and Manhattan, there were more architecture firms in 2012 than any other of the five types of design firms. But architecture firms in Brooklyn (162) still took second-place to graphic design firms (183) in 2012.
Drilling down to the number of employees tells a slightly different story. In Brooklyn, architecture firms employed more people than any of the other design firm types in 2012. This was was also true in 2003. But architecture firms added 252 jobs over those years, and graphic design firms (the second-largest employer), added 297.
Architecture firms in Queens employed 323 people in 2012, more than any other firm type and a 40 percent increase from 2003. The number of people employed at architecture firms fell in the two boroughs with the smallest design firm employment, Staten Island and the Bronx.
Obviously, Manhattan had more design firm employees than any other borough in 2012 (21,684). This was a 19 percent increase from 2003. Of these jobs, architecture firms were the largest employer in both 2003 and 2012. Within Manhattan architecture firms, the number of people on payrolls grew by 26 percent. The second-biggest design employer, graphic design firms, actually dropped 219 employees from their payrolls, a 5 percent drop.

Don't Bother Using HennalucentDont bother buying or using Hennalucent. I used it in the 1990s and got great results for both the red color and conditioning. Tried their NEW AND IMPROVED product with clear only (fearing green hair as I have read about in reviews) Nothing, no conditioning, no thickening. Even the consistency is different, it used to be smooth and usable and now it is like lumpy flour past. Dont waste your time, money or hair on this product.Jan 25, 2008Leslie B. / Brentwood, CA

Any Henna (other Than Neutral) Can Produce Weird ColorsI read the review that said henna doesnt turn hair green.It doesnt a lot of the time for many people.But hennas results are unpredictable. Always do a strand test. And realize that the results on the whole head may be different than on the strand.Results vary with how the henna reacts to the persons hair -- its color and its composition. Hennas -- especially those with lots of indigo mixed in (the darker colors)-- CAN produce some very odd looking (and long lasting) metallic green and metallic blue hues. I know. Ive experienced them.And on light blond and white (gray) hair, other henna mixes (all colors but red are the result of other herbs being mixed in or, with some brands, with some metals being mixed in) you can get a seafoam yellow-ish-greenish tinge to your blondes or browns. Or, surprise, youre trying for brown and you get copper. If youre mostly gray, chances are you are not going to get satisfactory results with henna coloring.Im not trying to discourage anyone from using henna. Ive used colored hennas from time to time for almost 20 years and have regularly used neutral henna for added shine. Ive had good results and Ive had bad results with henna coloring. Ive had bizarre fish-skin-like metallic colors on parts of my head and nice darker hair on the rest. Ive experienced the greens and blues and coppery oranges that others have talked about. And Ive never found a way to remove a bad henna job. Hennalucents in-package brochure tells about "Color Out" that supposedly removes henna safely, but Ive never found it anywhere and dont even find it doing a Google search.Im not a hairdresser trying to trash a natural do-it-at-home process. Im a naturopathic doctor who wishes henna were more predictably reliable.Ive found Hennalucents products easier to work with than some other brands -- in part because they are so finely ground. I really like their neutral, which is a fine white powder that becomes almost pudding like when mixed.Jan 15, 2008Ken Winston Caine / Cerrillos, New Mexico

NeutralI used hennalucent neutral. I noticed absolutely no difference in my hair. It doesnt appear shinier or healthier.Im wondering if it will be okay for me to bleach my hair soon since I didnt use a "real" henna... and since the hennalucent didnt deposit any color??Jan 14, 2008Suzi / Decatur, Al

Revitalized Long Dyed Hair !I quit using this product about 10 years ago. However, my hair has sustained so much damage from chemical dyes, that it was falling out in handfulls. I used Sunset Glow w/Earth Brown last night. My hair is now shiny, smooth & feels better than it has in years. Additionally, I had about half the hair loss with combing that I was experiencing prior to using. I also would like to point out that metals are elements found in nature, thereby making them organic. Chemicals are not.Nov 5, 2007Jan Payne / Austin, TX

HorrificAlthough advertised as 100% natural, there ARE metallic ingredients that reacted horribly with previous chemicals I had on my hair. My hair first turned bright orange, then after apply a brown my hair turned green.I had to shave my head. If you have ANY chemical on your hair do NOT use this product. Buy body art quality henna from a reputable dealer!Sep 27, 2007Lauren

Hennalucent NeutralThis is a great product that I have used for years. It is a new formulation and is a little different, but still great.I use it when my hair needs shine and coditioning, usually after summer when my hair has been exposed to to much sun, and chlorine. It gives it a nice boost,not much color change, just shine and body.Sep 14, 2007Jo / Vermont

Hennalucent Has Changed!!!Ive been using henna on my hair for 30 YEARS, and for most of that time Ive used Hennalucent. I wouldnt have used one product for so long unless I was getting good results! I used to use only Sunset Glow, but as my hair got more and more grey, Sunset Glow left the resulting color more orange than red, so I started adding Earth Brown/Bark Brown to darken and tone down the orangeness, and I still got good results (more of an auburn than bright red). Many, MANY compliments on my hair color and shininess! Recently, however, Ive come to dread the once-a-month henna application, because I never know what to expect. Im still using the same "formula" of Bark Brown/Earth Brown/Sunset Glow in a 2/4/1 ratio, but sometimes I get a very dark brown, sometimes I get the red/brown Im looking for, but as often as not I get GREEN. Whimper. I have no idea what Hennalucent changed in their formulations, but I wish they would change it back!Aug 31, 2007Red-cat / College Park, MD

I Love This Product!!Ive been using Hennalucent for the past 30 years and have always had excellent results. I have fine, short medium brown hair and every six weeks or so, I mix Sunset Glo with Earth Brown to "do my hair". I end up with strong, shiny hair in a wonderful warm brown color with reddish blond highlights. The reddish blond highlights must be the gray in my hair since I honestly have no idea how much gray there really is. I always get compliments on the color and even the stylist who cuts my hair marvels at the natural blending of color in my hair. Yes, it is a bit messy to use, but its no big deal. I leave the mix in for a solid hour and use rubber gloves when applying and washing my hair out. Id be lost without it.Jul 27, 2007Rita Monte / Crestview, FL

Wouldn't Even Give It A Star.Reddish brown equals ashy/grey/green? I dont think so. I cannot believe the results of this. I wouldnt recommend this to ANYONE. Stay away from Hennalucent! HORRIBLE!Jul 16, 2007Catherine / MI

So So
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
And what should I think of this?
Is "white" dead? What did aizen's words mean? How will masaki meet isshin again? How will Urahara get involved in all of this?
Too many questions :(
As said, more questions than answers. Seems like we r going to get to see a love story, which i normally wouldn't mind but considering how Bleach has almost never touched on this point i certainly don't see why it should start now considering there are so many other unanswered questions.
did that whitey posess her or something? Or was aizen merely referring to it going to fight her instead of isshin wen she showed up? Which seems unlikely since she attacked it, it's only normal for it to respond. Usual urahara plotting
Wow So basically aizen created it to target shinigami's for hollowfication(we all know this)...... but instead it chose a quincy to "infect" the opposite of a shinigami a quincy..... leading to ichigo's hollowfication which now is clear isn't an accident.....
aizen didn't plan this... it was an unexpected plan that divulge itself in front of aizen.... a great opportunity....lols....... and man tousen is furious when it exploded but couldn't see the big picture again leading to ichigo hehe
Plus Byakuya, mayuri, is already a captain during this era, probably kenpachi is too.. its closer to when ichigo was born really... So isshin has never seen a quincy.... which makes him less senior than the ones who witness their so called "extinction" 200 years ago...... makes me wonder who are isshin's batch mates? Plus urahara and his ominous stare lols
O yeah masaki and ryuken are cousins.... which makes ichigo and ishida blood relatives
The last pages are quite strange, it's like she is half eaten by something "white" and then she bumps into Urahara (and he notices something). Does this means that she has the same symptoms as Ichigo had ? Does this means that thanks to Urahara's H-cube, she will later on be able to fully materialize into a Masked Archer ? Or, the white thing that was seen there, could it be, Urahara's H-cube ? Damn, those pages are just too strange, a different translation might reveal more information.
Still the question remains who was the shinigami that this hollow was based on? is it captain class? i bet its from the shiba clan also..... like the former 10th squad captain that had fallen..... when isshin was still VC
Yeah got to agree with Zero on this one. It seems like the effects of the white biting her is taking effect and who shows up just in time to notice, Urahara himself. From this encounter I guess Urahara kept an eye on her from that point on. That boy Aizen and his machinations, he sure does know how to turn a bad result into something worth while. Don't think Masaki and Ryuuken are blood cousins, if they are, I think it great for Ichigo and Ishida. They fight like they related anyway. But I think this will make them even closer than before, knowing that they've been fighting along side family all this time. This goes for Kikkaku and Ganju as well.
URAHARA for the win. I always love when he shows up. He is the scarriest Good Guy, ever! If I had to fight Kenpachi or Urahara, I think i'd fight Kenpachi. Urahara would make me piss myself just by starring at me.
Chapter was pretty slow. Cant wait to see if Masaki has a Hichigo now, that would be awesome.
Favorite Manga/Anime CharactersNaruto, Orochimaru, Jariya, Itachi, Ichigo, Mayuri, Kenpachi, Mugen, Vash the Stampede, "L", Edward Elric, Reborn, Rokudo Mukuro, Black Star, Dr. Fraken Stein, Death the Kid
So I'm curious to see what exactly is going to happen with this "infection" from the hollow in Masaki.
I also want to know what Tousen was talking about when he said the hollow had reached its final stage of transformation. That conversation had some important information and really needed to be translated better. A shame since the manga panda xlations have been getting better previously, but it was pretty bad this week.

For an interesting window into the Spanish Social TV and Second Screen Engagement scene, this academic report by José Alberto García-Avilés from the Universidad Miguel Hernández, Spain is well worth a read.
In the current media ecosystem, television content is distributed through a variety of platforms (TDT, the Web, mobiles …) providing a growing level of interactivity, which increases the connections of networks and programs with their audiences. Both public and commercial broadcasters are developing cross-media processes that enhance audience participation in a variety of ways. The networks provide a wide number of initiatives including crowdsourcing so that the public might engage, by sharing, commenting, promoting or criticizing programs, as well as elaborating their own material or getting involved in the design, production or distribution of content.
This essay explores the dimensions of audience participation in Spanish television channels and their websites. Using a methodology of exploratory analysis, over one hundred activities of audience participation were examined in twenty commercial and public Spanish television channels and their websites, during six weeks across October to December 2011.
Click here for full PDF analysis:
"In game shows, such as "El cubo" (Cuatro), "Pasapalabra" (Telecinco) and "Saber y ganar" (La2), members of the public, television personalities or celebrities, sometimes as part of ateam, play a game which involves answering questions or facing trials usually for money and prizes.
With emerging interactive television technologies, the game experience is not limited to participants inside the studio. Spectators watching the show can also play along and they even play together with other spectators, just as the participants in the studio compete or collaborate with each other.
For example, in Antena 3's "Atrapa un millón", viewers can simultaneously play in the website while the game show is being broadcast.
Presenter-led quiz programmes are hosted by one or more presenters in a studio. Participation in these is generally accomplished by calling a premium-rate telephone number, such as "La ruleta de la suerte" (Antena 3) or "Taxi" (Canal Sur). The presenter's role is two-fold: to encourage participation in the show and to explain the rules of play, to entertain viewers during quieter times, and to speak to participants when they come through to the studio.
TV3's website provides a game area, with quizzes about the channel's in-house dramas, a competition about the results of the Formula 1 World Championship, a cartoon game about the characters of two comedy shows, Polònia and Crackòvia or a trip to the Supecity, based on the children's channel Super3. Online users at TV3 also may engage in quizzes about current affairs, sports and culture.
Voting is a strategy which has been increasingly adopted by some reality shows, to hook in viewers and let them influence the outcome of the programme. Andalusia's Canal Sur invites the public to vote for its favourite participant in each edition of its singing contest "Se llama Copla" . After the first choice by the official jury, the candidate who receives the lowest amount of votes from the audience is expelled from the show. Therefore, the audience is awarded the final casting vote, to assure the continuation or dismissal of any contestant.
Many of the programmes which use voting also at the same time offer options for viewers to participate in a personalized way; they also develop a rhetoric which intends to spark off voting motivation and to influence the show's outcome. Some shows also permit free entry via a website or via a premium rate text service. Voting allows television channels to generate additional income, by appealing to viewers' decisive role in influencing the result of the program."

Amazon.com wants to get the .Amazon top-level domain.
Paul Demery
The world's largest retailer by web sales can't have it all, at least not when it comes to putting its brand name to the right of the last dot in a web address. A governmental advisory panel Tuesday recommended that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers disapprove an application by Amazon.com Inc. to use the top-level domain of .amazon.
Amazon's use of .amazon would have allowed it to sell products on sites with web addresses such as apparel.amazon. But Brazil and other countries that border the Amazon River in South American had filed objections to letting a private company control an Internet address based on the name of one of the world's largest rivers.
The Governmental Advisory Committee made its recommendation at an ICANN meeting in Durban, South Africa, where ICANN yesterday approved the first batch of 1,490 applications for generic top-level domains.
Amazon.com, No. 1 in the 2013 Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, said it was hoping to work things out with the committee and ICANN. "We're reviewing the GAC advice and we look forward to working with ICANN and other stakeholders to resolve these issues as the process moves forward," the retailer said in a statement today.
Although it's still up to ICANN to make a final decision on Amazon.com's application, it's unlikely that ICANN will break with its usual course and not accept the committee's recommendation, says Nao Matsukata, CEO of domain name consulting firm FairWinds Partners, who is attending the meeting in Durban this week.
A spokesman for ICANN says that, when the Governmental Advisory Committee advises that a particular gTLD application should not proceed, it creates "a strong presumption for the ICANN board that the application should not be approved. If the board does not act in accordance with this type of advice, it must provide rationale for doing so." The spokesman adds that applicants are free to file a response to the committee's advice, and that ICANN may then consult with independent experts while reviewing the matter. There is no set date by which ICANN is expected to decide on the committee's recommendation, he adds.
Matsukata says it's not completely clear why the committee came out against Amazon. But he adds that ICANN has come under more pressure recently not to let the United States or U.S.-based businesses have too much control over the Internet over the objections of other countries.
There were no other developments announced regarding dozens of other gTLDs Amazon is requesting, including .book, .buy and .music. ICANN and the Governmental Advisory Committee did not immediately return requests for comment.
Amazon isn't the only retailer to run into objections to a gTLD application. Patagonia, which sells outdoor sports apparel and gear, withdrew its application for .patagonia last week after objections were filed by Argentina and Chile, countries that share a region of the Andes Mountains known as Patagonia near the southern tip of South America. "We don't have plans to apply for any other gTLDs at this time," a Patagonia spokeswoman says.
Patagonia, which operates its own e-commerce site at Patagonia.com, was named to the Internet Retailer Hot 100 for 2012. Patagonia also sells Patagonia footwear products under license to Wolverine World Wide Inc., which is No. 235 in the Internet Retailer Top 500.

Stylish shoe
"This pair of heels looks super stylish & would go with most outfits since its a neutral color yet stylish due to its lace pattern . I can easily wear it for 2-3 hours but after that it gets super uncomfortable so wear it friday night (or saturday night) & look glamorous but carry a pair of comfy flats along so when it starts to torture you , you can get out of them ."

Dim expectations for earnings, troubles in China, foot-dragging in Europe: Sure, investors have plenty of worries. But stock-market correlation, a persistent bugaboo the last few years, is making a retreat. If it keeps up, that's unqualifiedly good news for stocks.
The penchant to trade in lockstep, as white-knuckled investors watching euro-zone headlines or other market woes, fell markedly over the last month. As ConvergEx strategist Nicholas Colas writes this morning, the average correlation of the 10 S&P sectors fell to 76% versus the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index (SPY) as of this week. This should give the shares of companies with strong growth prospects room to run ahead of the pack.
If seventy six percent still sounds like pretty strong correlation, it's not. Not compared to recent history anyway. Readings in the eighties and nineties have been commonplace since the financial crisis. This month's is the lowest since the 75% observed in February, notes Colas. For anything lower, you need to go back to early 2011. Technology and financials were the only sectors to show 90% or higher correlation last month.
The Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLU) has enjoyed an especially swift drop in correlation, to 41% from 76% last month. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) fell to 79%, from 87%.
Of course, it's not all good news. Materials stocks actually increased their correlation reading modestly, driving the Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLB) to 84%, from 83%.
Fans of diversification may be less than happy to see the readings for the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) jump to 60%, from around 30%. The measure also increased for the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (HYG), from 69% to 73%.

Comments: The color is great and feel great but its more of a texas rig tube. I tried the jig head but the tip was a little thick. Used it as a texas rig and toss it into weed pad and it punched cover great.
