In praise of feminist activists: Leaving things better than they found them.
My partner and I have a cottage that sits on a lake about 60 miles outside of town. We love to spend time there with our little one. But once a year we lend the cottage to members of a local feminist collective that works to end rape and to provide supportive services to survivors of sexual assault. The organization holds an annual retreat out at the lake house.
What's your problem, lady? Can't you see that I'm no rapist?
The other day I was doing a rather unpleasant home remodeling project. Tired of the heat, tired of the noise, and tired of the dust, I burst out of my front door, out into the fresh air, out into the bright sunshine.
Shades of Grey, Bits of Magic? (On women's increasingly bold embrace of sexuality.)
This past year has seen the emergence of some extremely popular sexual material aimed directly at heterosexual women consumers.And the stuff has spread like wildfire.I am referring here of course to the best-selling"s&m lite" book (and soon to be film) Fifty Shades of Grey and to the immensely-successful movie about male strippers, "Magic Mike."
Daniel Tosh telling rape "jokes" isn't funny. (But it is a way to keep women in their place.)
This past week the internet has been ablaze about "comedian" Daniel Tosh's reaction to having been called out while on stage by a female audience member who was offended by his repeated claims that rape "jokes" are funny.
She called out:
"Actually, rape jokes are never funny!"
And what was Daniel Tosh's response?
Guys, we need to be talking to our daughters about sex. (But what the heck do we say?)
I can think of few things that I dread more than a trip to the dentist. When I was a child, my family butcher – er, I mean dentist – didn't much believe in Novocain. His drill + lack of painkiller = agony. Even to this day the idea of a trip to the dentist fills me with dread.
(In)security. When "protect and serve" doesn't apply to women.
[Possible trigger warning: discussion of rape and murder of women.]
The other day I was walking through a shopping mall and overheard a male security guard talking to a female store manager. The two clearly knew each other.
Why are our heroes always men? (On celebrating the every-day courage of women.)
Let's talk about heroes.
When You're a Good Dad, Every Day is Father's Day!
Father's Day is again upon us. (For most of the world, that is. For most of us, Father's Day occurs on the third Sunday in June.
Empowered sex is good sex. Let's stop training our boys to be sexual aggressors, and our girls to be passive victims.
I was recently in another city for work, so I stopped in at a souvenir shop to pick up a few things for loved ones back home. The store had a lot of fun stuff. But then I noticed that they had a lot of stuff that was not fun. There were a number of things that were kind of (or even
On "getting chicked." (When it comes to competing against women, men can be pretty sore losers.)
The other day the Canadian Broadcasting Company aired a radio program on female athletes who are preparing for this summer's Olympic Games in London. One of the women, a cyclist, spoke about how the men she sometimes trains with react badly when she beats them in a race. They become embarrassed. They feel humiliated. And they even have a term for it. When a woman beats them, they call it "getting chicked."

It's the most egregious Christmas crime: telling a child that the man in red isn't real. This weekend, a 24-year-old Kingston, Ont., man filtered his way through the city's annual Santa Claus parade, announcing the "truth" about Santa to the festive crowds. "Arrested an intoxicated Grinch for trying to yell at kids that Santa's not real! So misinformed. His heart must be many sizes too small!" Kingston Police media relations officer Constable Steve Koopman tweeted. He spoke Tuesday with the Post's Sarah Boesveld.
Q: So everyone was having a jolly old time at the Santa Claus Parade, and then the Grinch shows up.
A: Yeah, about halfway through, I heard a call over the radio in my earpiece that a citizen reported a male was going around up the sidewalk of Princess Street, our main thoroughfare in the downtown, shouting some obscenities but also trying to inform children around him…

Multiracial Hair8
November 11, 2007 by multiracialsky
I spend a lot of time on my children's hair. Teri's hair is at a length where it is almost–but not quite–long enough for cornrows or small braids. The back is just growing out from nearly bald, and the sides are also short. My goal is to secure the edges (which get dry and knotted the quickest) and create a style that will last for 2-4 days with minimal re-parting (daily spray with oil/water mixture, gentle brushing of each individual puff, and the occasional re-fastening of a slipping ponytail). The four-ponytail X-style is a current favorite, although the tiny back puff makes the style a little uneven. Dawn is right: it's all in the straight parts. Even a super-fancy style with crooked parts looks sloppy.
Aside from syrup and other assorted goodies caked into her hair, Gretel's locks are fairly simple to style, but nothing stays in for long. Her fine hair slips out of every kind of band, braid or ponytail I devise. The best bet is to secure her hair close to the hairline with quick and simple styles–because no matter what I do, I know I'll be re-styling again tomorrow.
Rico has a very short hair cut (he calls it a shaved head) for the first time in his life, after years of long hair, and then the long-awaited mohawk for his birthday this fall. When his hair is long enough to reach his eyes, it must be held back (probably one of the reasons he loves all those hats), because his thick, straight hair falls directly into his eyes. Tight braids work best, and will hold for up to three days. Rico is now growing his hair long again. His dark, fast-growing hair is a lot like mine.
Jaja had her first major haircut this fall, and is now sporting a chin-length bob. The goal of this haircut was to decrease the morning fuss-attack about brushing her hair (and it has worked). In the colder months (about 6 months a year here) her fine, wavy hair needs to be braided almost all the time to protect it from static and knots. I taught myself how to french braid last year, and Jaja's long hair spent most of last winter in snug braids, a style that took 25-40 minutes to put in, and lasted 2-4 days.
My children receive extra attention and extra scrutiny from the general public–and from acquaintances and friends–because they are part of a multiracial family. This applies even more to my visible children of color. Neatly parted, brushed, and styled hair is my top leaving-the-house priority (followed closely by clean faces, moisturized skin, and reasonably clean clothes). Somedays I wish I could just let my kids roll out of bed and step out the door with birdsnest-hair (like many of their friends), but that would not be fair to them.
I was questioned today about Jaja's curls (as in, 'where did they go?') Her baby hair was curly; her little-kid hair, not so much. I was told that curls are 'in her genes'–as is stick straight hair, we pointed out. There is still the expectation that biracial and multiracial kids will have a certain texture of hair, a certain color of skin, or a certain shape or color to their eyes. Not so.
In our family, there is occasional grumbling that Teri is the only one with enough hair curl and thickness to really hold cornrows, two-stranded twists, or tiny box braids. The hair-styles for kids with highly-textured hair are so much more interesting to my kids. But the promise of a green mohawk or five braids with multi-colored ponytail holders will suffice, most days.

8 thoughts on "Multiracial Hair"
Your website is an excellent resource for hair and skin care information. Simple and informative. I like it.
I love letting my son's (who is biracial) hair grow to the longish side but his hair is too fine to hold braids and since he has so many different curl textures it tends to look wild when it has any real length. Right now I am keeping his hair short because he looks most "presentable" that way. For his sake, and for mine, I don't want to be the white mom with the child of color that has crazy hair. We get enough attention as it is. It makes me sad though, that I am sacrificing what I want to do with his hair, for what people might think about him and us. I'm not sure what the best thing to do is. Any suggestions or thoughts?
I'm with you – I always make it a high priority that my kids are brushed, styled, moisturized, and dressed appropriately. I once allowed my son to wear a barrette in his hair (he HAD to have one since his sister was wearing one) and I sure took a beating over that!
Ah – my girls battle over wanting to have each others hair. My older daughter is German and Native American and my younger is African American and Hispanic. I have had to step up my game from ponytails and box braids to fish tail braids and veil styles so that they both feel like they have fancy cool hair. Now the baby has a headful of baby baloney curls which I have been happily leaving alone. But he sees me sit down with the brushes and hair goodies and he toddles on over and plops on my lap for his hair time…… Which at least lets me know that "hair time" at our house is a pleasant experience (mostly) and that I am going to have to learn just a bit more about this little guys hair styles!
Dear friends, hello and how are you all doing? I have 3 children all mixed with black descent. I was just curious in how to create different designs for braiding their hair. Can anyone give me any tips or cool designs.
How great! I came upon your page looking for styles for my hair as I am letting it grow back out natural after relaxing it to fit in with my white classmates in college (I am black and my hair is curly)! I got tired of the questions and people wanting to touch my hair like I was a zoo critter! I understand the curiosity but it was a bit demeaning and caused me some frustration. Anyway, I am going to use the Star style for my little bundle of toddlerisms and for mine once I get this relaxer all grown out! Thanks! Be blessed and you are doing an excellent job on the hair styles. Moisture is the big key for black hair especially extremely curly hair. But you got that with your oil and water mixture. Johnson and Johnson has a detangler spray as well that works well along with a little more oil for a nice sheen. It does get a bit sticky though so it is better to use it every other day. I could go on and on but I think I should get back to reading your blog! THANK YOU again!
I glad to see children of most hair textures on here and not just the curly/kinky type hair. I have a biracial (African-American/Caucasian) son who has wavy, but not curly hair texture similar the Jaja's. It only stays for 2-4 days!
Wow. I am of Afro-Caribbean, East-Indian, Chinese, and European ancestry. My hair is the most similar to the first child's hair. Mine is VERY long and it's passes than shoulder length, even when not straighten. When it is straighten it is most similar to Raja and covers most of my back to my butt. I do not see anything different or extra-ordinary about my hair (maybe b/c I see it everyday), but other people wether "white" or "black" seem to and LOVE it! Lol.

Equipped for extended cruising, East Passage is a proven, dependable, go-anywhere vessel. She was recently re-powered and her twin Yanmars have only 212 hours!
Here's what her owners' have to say:
We had Mirage build our Great Harbour 47 in 2004 because these boats just make sense. They are solid, stable, maneuverable and comfortable. Ten years of extensive cruising have proved this to be the case. We have been from the Bahamas to Canada and Maine. During one summer in Maine we did not tie up to a dock with power from June to October.
We have carefully outfitted East Passage for extended cruising and have periodically updated and upgraded equipment to ensure that time on the water is comfortable. Cruising is limited by laundry water and food so East Passage has an apartment-sized Maytag washer and dryer, carries 500 gallons of water that can be refreshed with its watermaker ...and the standard household refrigerator is supplemented by a separate half freezer.
People often ask the cruising range of our boat. The practical answer is that, with 1,000 gallons of fuel, far enough to have many refueling options. The same goes for hanging on the hook or on a mooring ball. The holding tank is 250 gallons. For us that's almost 6 weeks. Add in flexible on-board power systems and that means independence.
East Passage has two generators. A 8.5 Kw Phasor AC generator and a 4.5 Kw Fischer Panda DC generator. With a water/gas separator the DC generator's exhaust is virtually silent and is similarly quiet inside. East Passage has a 1200 amp hour battery bank with twin 50-amp pass-through Victron inverters. Twin inverters means we can run 220 volt systems from the batteries (limited) or from the DC generator. The DC generator will support most galley use, laundry, the water maker or one AC/heating unit.
Independence means activity on the water. The upper roof features storage for 2 included kayaks. We have found that launching the kayaks is simple. The swim platform and ladder make getting in and out of the kayaks a breeze. And the 12 foot inflatable is powered by a new 30 hp Suzuki electronically fuel injected outboard. The engine room includes a dive tank air compressor with cockpit filling station.
With a draft of 3 feet and a minimum air draft of 16 feet with the antenna mast down, East Passage can go just about anywhere.

Have Finance Questions? Ask a Financial Expert Online.
Dear Friend,
The time value of money is the value of money figuring in a given amount of interest earned over a given amount of time. The idea that money available at the present time is worth more than the same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity. This core principle of finance holds that, provided money can earn interest, any amount of money is worth more the sooner it is received.
It is certainly important for the accountants to have an understanding of compound interest, annuities and present value and the future of value concepts while doing any feasibility study of any project / transaction or in any given business environment.
I am sure this would help...
Warm Regards,

Hi May!
I sent you an email already but wanted to come over to your blog and say Hello too and thank you for your darling sampler and goodies. They arrived in today's mail, much to my excitement and surprise. You are speedy! It's a pleasure to meet you and to be your fifth partner is this great swap. Thank you so much for everything, so lovely and I will enjoy all my goodies. :)
I'm so very sorry to hear you've got a frozen shoulder! I developed one in 2007, sooooooo very painful. I was very silly and didn't go to the doctor for a few months, thinking it would go away - didn't realize I had a frozen shoulder. It took about nine or ten months of physical therapy to be pain free and have almost my complete range of motion back. Thinking of you and hoping you don't have to have surgery.
Thanks again for everything!
Sally xoxo

Faith Christian School's girls basketball team probably enjoyed its holiday break.
It didn't hurt that the Saints went into the break on the heels of a pair of victories.
The Saints trimmed North Metro of Roseville 44-40 Tuesday, Dec. 18, then defeated Calvin Christian of Fridley 43-33 Thursday, Dec. 20. Both games were at FCS.
"We played pretty well, overall," said Faith Christian Coach Mike Sohre. "The girls are working hard and taking pride in their defense and team chemistry and it is definitely paying off.
"They are running the offense well and are getting a lot of open looks. When our shots start falling we are going to be very tough to beat."
The Saints led North Metro 21-14 at halftime. North Metro closed to within 38-36 with two minutes remaining in the second half but a three-point basket by sophomore guard Hannah Thompson gave FCS a five-point lead.
Junior center/forward Faith Britton led the Saints as she hauled off 22 rebounds and scored 13 points. The 22 rebounds was a school record. Senior forward/center Jamie Nelson had 13 points and senior guard Madde Brown had nine assists, four steals and two points.
Faith Christian had a 45-23 edge in rebounds.
FCS held Calvin Christian to six points in the first half as it took a 23-6 lead.
Sophomore center Ashley Johnson had 12 points and 17 rebounds while Britton scored 11 points and had 12 rebounds. Nelson and junior guard Andi Vermeer each scored nine points.
Sohre credited a box-and-one defense with holding Calvin ace center Claire Stephens to 10 points. He also cited his team's 45-19 edge in rebounds.
Faith Christian returns to action Friday, hosting South Metro of Bloomington at 5:15 p.m.

Strung Out
Mixing up punk speed, metal guitar power, and a dash of electronics for seasoning, Southern California rockers Strung Out were formed in 1989, with a lineup featuring vocalist Jason Cruz, guitarists Jake Kiley and Rob Ramos, bassist Jim Cherry, and drummer Adam Austin. By the time the band released their first 7", Austin had been replaced by Jordan Burns, formerly of Ten Foot Pole. The quintet signed with NOFX bassist Fat Mike's Fat Wreck Chords label in 1993 and issued a debut album, Another Day in Paradise, the following year. The band took an artistic leap forward with the 1996 follow-up, Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues, an album whose rapid-fire playing began to build their following among fans of new-school punk-pop. In 1998 Strung Out issued the Crossroads & Illusions EP and the full-length Twisted by Design, the latter a more progressive work that found the group beginning to mix elements of technique-oriented heavy metal into its instrumental attack; in addition, Fat Wreck Chords issued a set of early Strung Out material titled The Skinny Years: Before We Got Fat.
Cherry left the band in 1999, going on to play with Zero Down and Pulley, and was replaced by Chris Aiken on bass. The band returned in 2000 with the EP The Element of Sonic Defiance and followed two years later with An American Paradox, the band's first album to chart on Billboard (hitting number 11 on the Independent Albums chart). Their summer 2003 live album featured 21 tracks and comic book artwork done by Cruz himself. Strung Out's fifth full-length, Exile in Oblivion, was produced by Matt Hyde (Slayer) and issued in November 2004; it contained the song "Swan Dive," which was a tribute to former bassist Jim Cherry, who had sadly passed away in July 2002 from a lifelong heart condition. In June of 2007 the band's next effort, Blackhawks Over Los Angeles, came out. Strung Out celebrated their 20th anniversary with the release of 2009's Agents of the Underground, but after touring behind the record the band took a break, and it wasn't until 2015 that they returned with a new long-player, Transmission.Alpha.Delta. ~ Steve Huey

Simple Setup and Tear Down
Setup and tear down takes seconds! The AX-48 Pro breaks down into a single, slender unit that's easy to transport and doesn't take up hardly any room because the hollow column becomes its own carrying case! The legs remain connected and slide into and out of the base of the column, and the arms that support your keyboards are stored in compartments at the top of the column.
Sleek, New Design
The modern look and shape of the APEX AX-48 Pro brings the keyboard player out from behind a stack of no-character keyboard stands, and into the spotlight with the rest of the band. The footprint of the new AX-48 Pro has not changed from the previous APEX, but now offers an updated column design that is as esthetically pleasing as it is performance ready.
APEX-quality Features
Everything keyboard players have come to appreciate about the APEX keyboard stand for over two decades is still available in the new APEX AX-48 Pro. It's THE original column style keyboard stand that securely holds two keyboards out of the box (up to 125 lbs each!). The patented Tri-bar arms are height adjustable, the support legs are super stable, and it's incredibly easy to setup, tear down, and transport from gig to gig.
Professional Tri-bar Arms
Keyboards, synthesizers, and keyboard workstations have evolved in the last two or three decades since the original APEX was developed. The APEX AX-48 Pro now ships with two sizes of Tri-bar arms (one set of 13" arms, and one set of 18" arms) to safely hold today's keyboards, synthesizers, and keyboard workstations of all sizes.
Includes a Mic Boom and Professional Tote
The AX-48 Pro Plus bundle includes the best microphone boom arm ever developed for live performance, the Ulti-Boom (Telescoping) and an adapter that fits right on top of the APEX keyboard stand! What's more, this bundle includes a professional tote that not only houses the keyboard stand, but also has a dedicated space for the Ulti-Boom. The AX-48 Pro Plus is the perfect bundle for the keyboard player who gigs often and also sings!

Bootcamp and spa? The only way is Essex
Ginny Light finds an affordable retreat where the gym is outdoors and the choice of treatments impressive
The minute I stepped into King's Cross Station I realised I was in the wrong place - trains for Thorpe-le-Soken, home to the Lifehouse health spa, leave from Liverpool Street Station. I just don't identify Liverpool Street with weekends away, and furthermore Essex, with spa weekends away. But the new Lifehouse spa, which opened in December 2010 hopes to put the county on the map for sybarites.
Call it a spa, wellbeing, health, romantic or relaxation retreat, the other guests at Lifehouse were there for all of these reasons and more. Our peers were all either young couples or groups of women wanting to get away from it all in a place that invites you to dine in your dressing gown, and indeed many of…

Dozens injured in Rio Carnival crush
Dozens of people attending the Bola Preta Carnival parade in central Rio de Janeiro had to receive medical attention after fainting due to the heat and the sheer size of the celebration.
As the carnival was in the final stages, the streets became clogged with people trying to leave but with nowhere to move to.
City officials estimated that almost two million people went down to central Rio on Saturday morning to take part in the festivities.
The chaos started when two police cars drove through a crowded area. With nowhere to turn and under 30 degree heat, people panicked.
Revellers could be seen hanging from lamp posts, jumping through fences, and even getting on top of the police cars to find some breathing room.
All the injured received medical attention on the spot, but city officials opened an inquiry to work out ways to avoid the incident from happening again.
The Bola Preta parade is famous for drawing some of Carnival's biggest crowds. It started in 1918 and stands today as one of the oldest and most popular carnival street parties in Rio.

New Orleans, LA -- Glenn Robinson III just got better and better throughout his high school career, so it came as little surprise that he walked away as MVP of the 2012 All-American Championship game after tallying 16 points on 6/7 shooting. Typical of Robinson's personality though, the future Wolverine dished out credit as quickly as he received it.
"It was really fun to play on the same court as those guys -- my teammates," he said afterward. "I thought we shared the ball great. Sam Dekker going to Wisconsin -- I think we had all of our guys going to Big Ten except for one that's going to Notre Dame so it was just very exciting playing on the same court as those guys. I just went out there and played as hard as I could and came up with MVP -- but the rest of my team, they all could have equally gotten the MVP too so I'm happy to get that."
The 6-6 small forward was able to get easy looks the entire game thanks in large part to 2012 Iowa signee PG Mike Gesell.
"I told him I was going to be running the floor and he's very unselfish," Robinson said. "He gave it up. Most point guards at these type of events won't give it up like that. So it's going to be fun running into these guys next year and now I know them, got a chance to meet them, spend the weekend with them. He's a very nice guy."
Robinson and the other 38 participants took part in some of the Final Four festivities around town and got to experience the atmosphere New Orleans can create.
"It's been crazy," he said. "Getting off the plane and landing in New Orleans, people are just so kind down in the South. Everybody wants to talk to you like 'wow you're so tall -- do you play basketball?' Probably my favorite memory is yesterday at bracket town they were throwing out the necklaces with the beads and everything and we were walking around having a good time, dancing and stuff. It was very cool."
Along for the trip was Robinson's AAU teammate and fellow Michigan class of 2012 signee, Mitch McGary. According to Robinson the two scout.com top 30 prospects are as close as ever as they prepare to head to Ann Arbor together.
"I think every time we see each other he goes crazy," said Robinson. "I saw him two nights ago when I came in and he ran up, gave me a hug, jumped on me. Mitch is a very energetic kid and I like him. He's like a brother to me so we've gotten very close and hopefully, I think we'll be rooming together next year. We're used to each other, we're like brothers. We talk about anything and do everything together so I like it."
Part one of GBW's sit down interview with Glenn Robinson III is below (highlights included).

An Innovative Solution
for an Optimal Brain
You're an individual, and you're special. We focus on you. At our Brain Performance Centers, we look past the
label you've been given to scientifically diagnose the root of your issue. We analyze the information your brain gives us.
Then we customize a data-centric, drug-free brain training exercise program that optimizes your brain for a better life.
A Healthy Brain Has an Optimal Speed
If you're sleeping, your brain activity should be slow. If you're being chased by a lion, you want it to be fast. But sometimes it's persistently too fast or too slow, regardless of the circumstance. If your brain keeps running at the wrong speed, it can cause a number of serious problems you haven't been able to control.
Slow Optimal Fast
You Can Train Your Brain
In the past, science maintained that the brain can't change. In recent years we've learned that's not true. It's not hard-wired. The brain's neuroplasticity enables it to be flexible and dynamic. With training and brain exercises at Neurocore, you may make healthy changes in your brain's structure that allow it to operate better, so you feel better.
Learn to Take Control
Neurofeedback is like a reward system for your brain. You teach it to function more efficiently over time with a program of repetition, practice, and positive reinforcement. We pinpoint where your brain is too fast or too slow. Then neurofeedback sessions enable you to regulate your brain speed to the optimal level.
Pure Science, Compelling Results
Rooted in established neuroscience, we don't base our treatment on symptoms and behaviors alone. Our program is built on real brain data. Over the past decade, we have built one of the world's largest applied neuroscience databases, allowing precise diagnoses and effective treatments for thousands of people across the country.
Free Phone Consultation
Just fill out the form and we'll be in touch for a free phone consultation. We'll answer any questions you have and discuss how Neurocore can benefit you. Or call 800.600.4096 to speak with a team member.

I didn't know that about Dep gel! I thought the amino acids were protein. I was also cowashing with the TJ's Tea Tree Oil Condish which has protein (I think?) when my hair was feeling crunchy and odd.
Also, if I part my hair with my fingers (no comb) it still looks flat like that on top. If I don't part at all and scrunch/diffuse upside down and sideways it gets interesting.

Jay-Z, Jim Jones Deliver Tributes To Hipster Hop
When MIA's 'Paper Planes' Remix with Rich Boy and Bun B dropped we thought "that'll never work, mainstream rap fans (read: people with Rich Boy ringtones) won't really be into MIA."
Of course we were wrong and now everyone and their mom has a 'Paper Planes' or 'Swagger Like Us' remix and loves Kanye West and Santogold and Justice. But we were really surprised today to find out that Young (old) Jay-Z has just released an official remix of MIA's 'Boyz,' a track which dropped well over a year ago. Why now Jay? Still trying to be cool with the cool kids?
Then yesterday Jim Jones dropped his own version of hipster rapper (and recent G.O.O.D. Music signee) KiD CuDi's 'Day N Nite' (and also loves MGMT!) and we realized that the inevitable switch from swag, haterz and poppin champagne (shout to Ron Browz) had finally become a reality. The new kids are all wearing tight pants and small sweaters and the big dogs are taking note. We're just waiting for Jay's inevitable collab with Santogold to make it official.

Baby North West Kardashian PICTURES, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian Think Their Daughter is a Genius?
It appears that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West enjoy showing off their baby North West to their friends, family and fans with various pictures. Now the R&B singer is admitting that he thinks this newborn daughter is not only adorable, but a genius as well.
Kanye West is allegedly in awe of his 4-month-old daughter and judging by the way she plays with her toys and her observational skills, he thinks she is a baby genius. While spending time with North West on his "Yeezus" tour, Kanye West has witnessed his baby's development.
"She'll grab things and have this weird look on her face when she's holding whatever object is in her hand," said a source close to West to Hollywood Life. "Kanye will be like 'why is she staring at it so hard' and then he rethinks and is like 'naw, she's studying it. She sees something we don't.' He already thinks she's a f****** genius, just like him."
"He thinks she's going to grow up and be something great, like a scientist or something,"added the source. "He's loving every minute of her existence and soaking it all up."
Other family members such as Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner have been enjoying their time with baby North West, taking pictures with the little girl as well.
Born on June 15, North West's first picture was revealed on Kris Jenner's talk show in August, two months after she was born.
West said at the time that the first picture was intended to "stop all the noise" of clamor for pictures of the baby, however, he couldn't help but gush about how fatherhood has completely changed him.
"When my daughter was first born, people ask me how do you feel is everything different?" said West to Jenner on her talk show. "No, not yet. It takes time to understand and you met a brand new person...and the thing I think about as a dad is just protection."

Atherosclerosis (or arteriosclerotic vascular disease) is a condition where the arteries become narrowed and hardened due to an excessive build up of plaque around the artery wall. The disease disrupts the flow of blood around the body, posing serious cardiovascular complications.
Arteries contain what is called an endothelium, a thin layer of cells that keeps the artery smooth and allows blood to flow easily. Atherosclerosis starts when the endothelium becomes damaged, allowing LDL cholesterol to accumulate in the artery wall. The body sends macrophage white blood cells to clean up the cholesterol, but sometimes the cells get stuck there at the affected site. Over time this results in plaque being built up, consisting of bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) and macrophage white blood cells.
The plaque clogs up the artery, disrupting the flow of blood around the body. This potentially causes blood clots that can result in life-threatening conditions such as heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases.
The condition can affect the entire artery tree, but mainly affects the larger high-pressure arteries.
Arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis are different conditions:
- Arteriosclerosis is the stiffening or hardening of the artery walls.
- Atherosclerosis is the narrowing of the artery because of plaque build-up. Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis.
All patients with atherosclerosis have arteriosclerosis, but those with arteriosclerosis might not necessarily have atherosclerosis. However, the two terms are frequently used with the same meaning.
Causes of atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is caused by macrophage white blood cells and fat that accumulate in arteries - the white blood cells are originally sent by the body's immune system to clean up LDL cholesterol pockets.
When they stick to an artery they secrete a molecule called netrin-1, this stops normal migration of the macrophages out of the arteries. As a result, what you have left is a mixture of clumped up cholesterol pockets and white blood cells, this is the plaque that can disrupt blood flow.
A study carried out by researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center is said to have been the first of its kind to explain why macrophages stick to artery walls.
Certain factors that can damage the inner area of the artery (endothelium) and can trigger atherosclerosis include:
- High Blood Pressure
- High levels of cholesterol
- Smoking
- High levels of sugar in the blood
Areas of the artery that are damaged are likely to have plaque build up which can eventually break open. When the plaque breaks open, blood cell fragments called thrombocytes (or platelets) accumulate at the affected area. These fragments can then stick together, forming blood clots.
Diabetes - patients with poorly-controlled diabetes, who frequently have excess blood glucose levels, are much more likely to develop atherosclerosis.
Genetics - people with a parent or sibling who has/had atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease have a much higher risk of developing atherosclerosis than others.
Air pollution - in 2007, researchers from the University of California in Los Angeles linked exposure to diesel exhaust particles in air pollution to a higher risk of bad cholesterol build-up in the arteries. (Link to article)
Symptoms of atherosclerosis
A symptom is something the patient feels and describes, such as pain, while a sign can be detected by other people, such as a rash.
The first signs of atherosclerosis can begin to develop during adolescence, with streaks of white blood cells appearing on the artery wall. The symptoms of the disease depend on which arteries are affected:
Carotid Arteries
Carotid arteries provide blood to the brain, when the blood supply is limited patients can suffer stroke and may experience:
- Weakness
- Difficulty breathing
- Headache
- Facial numbness
- Paralysis
Coronary Arteries
Coronary arteries provide blood to the heart, when the blood supply to the heart is limited it can cause angina and heart attack, symptoms include:
- Vomiting
- Extreme anxiety
- Chest pain
- Coughing
- Feeling faint
Renal Arteries
Renal arteries supply blood to the kidneys; if the blood supply becomes limited, there is a serious risk of developing chronic kidney disease, and the patient may experience:
- Loss of appetite
- Swelling of the hands and feet
- Difficulty concentrating
Peripheral arterial disease
The arteries to the limbs, usually the legs, are blocked. The most common symptom is leg pain, either in one or both legs, usually in the calves, thighs or hips. The pain may be described as one of heaviness, cramp, or dullness in the leg muscles. Other symptoms may include:
- Hair loss on legs or feet
- Male impotence (erectile dysfunction)
- Numbness in the legs
- The color of the skin on the legs change
- The toenails get thicker
- Weakness in the legs
On the next page we look at how atherosclerosis is diagnosed, how it can be prevented and the available treatments for atherosclerosis.

Interest is brewing for the inaugural Barlow Road Ride, an Aug. 25-26 fundraiser for the Mount Hood Cultural Center and Museum.
The two-day out-and-back century (100-mile) road bike tour will begin at the end of the Oregon Trail in Oregon City and extend to Government Camp.
The event allows for a maximum of 2,000 riders of all abilities, so early registration is encouraged.
The route options include:
n Trail Scout: 120 miles and almost 7,000 feet of elevation gain in one day;
n Trail Boss: 50 miles each day with one day uphill and one downhill;
n Pioneer: 25 miles of climbing (day one) and 50 miles downhill (day two);
n Junior and senior: 50 miles downhill.
Participants also may choose to ride up to Timberline Lodge Saturday night for an additional leg of the ride.
Most of the ride will go along quiet rural roads with little traffic, with the exception of the stretch along Highway 26 from Zigzag to Government Camp, which has new pavement and a wider shoulder.
The final destination in Government Camp, Cascade Ski Club, will be the headquarters of a festival with a spaghetti dinner, music and vendors.
Ninety dormitory-style beds at Cascade Ski Club will be available for $20 each, or participants can choose from many other lodging options, including tent camping in Government Camp.
A truck at the starting line will collect and bring personal camping gear and clothing to the bike corral in Government Camp for pick-up by riders and return personal gear to Oregon City on Sunday morning.
Along with the festival at Cascade Ski Club, the registration fee of $75 covers food, energy drinks, toilets, sag wagons, massages, mechanics and medical help. These fees are tax deductible for $50 per rider based on the approximate value of the goods and services riders receive.
Participants, their families and friends are welcome to make additional donations to the museum.
Funds raised during the ride will pay the capital costs of the museum's new elevator, new paint job and roof repair, along with other capital improvement and repair projects.
Open every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Mount Hood Cultural Center and Museum is home to interpretive exhibits, educational programming and the arts. For more information, visit mthoodmuseum.org.
The museum will hold a meeting at 3 p.m. Friday, May 4, for anyone interested in participating, volunteering or making a donation for the bike ride.

Its only 21 out and the heater isnt getting completely hot anymore it will get warm after 25 mins or so then lose heat again. The car seems to get up to operating temp but there is no heat what so ever before that. Then it comes and goes. Any ideas so i do not need to pay for repairs?

One of the restaurants in NYC that can justify their high prices. I went with Jason and two other friends, and they ALL were very satisfied with absolutely everything.
The atmosphere is very comfortable in a classy way: dim lights, but not too dim that elderly can't read the menu, exposed brick, fresh flowers, comfortable chairs... It is a fancy restaurant, yet they made me feel comfortable and sophisticated at the same time.
Of course, they brought out some compliments from the chef! I do love it when a restaurant does that. And of course! it was delicious. Shame that I cannot remember the details, but this was panna cotta of sorts (I think peach) with caviar on top. Yum.
Good restaurant MUST have good bread. On this display, there are bite sized Arancini (delicious), homemade rosemary crackers, and teeny weeny loaf of cornbread. Oh I was already in heaven :)
Four of us each had an appetizer. Jason had heirloom tomato, panzanella, stracciatella cheese, basil (straight from their menu) and Wow... it transported me back to my lovely 5 months spent in Tuscany. I had the melon salad, favas, figs, mangalica ham Everything about this sounded RIGHT. And see how beautiful chefs plate at Dovetail? I would go back, just to see their playful and beautiful plating. Oh and it tasted excellent.
For entree, I had the duck. I only order duck in places that I am sure would have a good duck, because I strongly dislike bad duck... surely Dovetail would have an excellent duck?? yes! excellent indeed. Their portion is just perfect, meat done to medium-medium rare, and the sauce! I am a sauce person and it pulled my duck dish all together. Lovely.
Oh let me mention that Jason had their roasted chicken, and it was the moistest, yet crispiest piece of chicken breast I have ever had.
I am sorry to say, we did not have any dessert. Honestly, we were just really contented with what we had. But of course! not ordering desserts turned out just perfect for us because the kitchen provided us with small sweet compliments. Perfect, I'd say.
They were Leeche gelee, small brownie, and lavender white chocolate truffles :)

Exorcist 'Possession'; Bloom's Mad 'Doctor': Movies
Converting "The Exorcist" to Judaism, "The Possession" might be Hollywood's first horror film to find its avenging hero in a Brooklyn shul.
The film so knowingly echoes William Friedkin's 1973 demonic masterpiece that calling it derivative is pointless.
But Ole Bornedal, the stylish Swedish director of 1997's terrific "Nightwatch," also picks up Friedkin's less-imitated traits, from a slowly paced escalation of supernatural takeover to credible performances from a committed cast.
Unfortunately, with a few booming exceptions, he missed the frights.
Eleven-year-old Em (Natasha Calis) is a sweet, animal- loving vegetarian quietly depressed over the recent divorce of her parents (Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick).
During a weekend at dad's new house, Em makes a yard-sale discovery of a seemingly unopenable wooden box carved with Hebrew writing. The thing speaks to her -- and not in the usual way of must-have bargains.
Soon enough, the dybbuk inside has transformed Em into a moody, kohl-eyed nightmare. We know she's not just another Goth when she starts spewing moths and causing mom's new boyfriend (Grant Show) to lose his teeth.
Onward to Borough Park, Brooklyn, the Hasidic community where Em's dad finds Tzadok, a sympathetic rabbi's son (played by the Hasidic rap and reggae performer Matisyahu) who agrees to an exorcism.
You know the rest, though writers Juliet Snowden and Stiles White push "Possession" off the "Exorcist" track in one surprising way, setting up a potential sequel. Here's hoping Bornedal hasn't seen "Exorcist 2: The Heretic."
"The Possession," from Lionsgate, is playing across the country. Rating: ** (Evans)
"The Ambassador"
"The Ambassador," a grinning documentary by the Danish journalist Mads Brugger, wallows in the corruption of a failed African state.
Brugger shows how he was able to purchase Liberian diplomatic credentials (all it takes, he says, is money) that gave him the access to make shady deals with diamond-mining interests in the Central African Republic.
To make it all more ridiculous, he swaggers around doing a Hunter S. Thompson-esque impersonation of a rich white bwana, complete with cigarette holder. He talks like a jackass, but unlike Sacha Baron Cohen, he greases the palms of the bozos he's secretly filming.
I'd love to know how much the movie cost. (It was financed by Lars von Trier's production company, Zentropa.) Enormous sums of money -- 15 million francs! -- appear to change hands; no one mentions that one Central African Republic franc is valued at about $0.0019. Still, those sums mount up.
Brugger claims to be building a match factory that will employ the indigent pygmy population.
"I was giving these people a false sense of hope," he concedes; but he adds by way of justification that in Africa "diplomats do this every day."
The shots of deceived pygmies struggling to learn matchmaking skills don't quite fit the movie's overall tone of jokey absurdism.
In one sequence, the nitwit bwana tries to "bond" with his pygmy assistants by playing these landlocked tribesmen tapes of whale calls. Brugger serves up their blank, bewildered looks as though he were filming a comedy sketch.
I wouldn't call him racist. He isn't mocking them for being black but for being ignorant and poor.
So: Brugger immersed himself in the ecology of corruption, bribing the venal and hoodwinking the naive, in order to demonstrate -- what? That corruption is rampant in failed African states? That's news?
"The Ambassador," from Drafthouse Films, is playing in New York and Los Angeles. Rating: *1/2 (Seligman)
"The Good Doctor"
Technique isn't everything. The crumminess of '40s and '50s B movies sometimes made them even darker, as though life were so grim there was no point in expending the effort to give them a little style.
That's how "The Good Doctor" feels: as blah as a soap opera -- which is what it seems, at first, to be.
Orlando Bloom plays an intern having trouble settling into hospital routine. He's intimidated by the experienced nurses and clumsy at sucking up to the senior doctors who have the power to make or break his career.
We see him at loose ends in his barren apartment; watch him perk up around a pretty patient (Riley Keough) who's in for a kidney problem; and witness his discomfort when her parents push him at her overbearing sister.
We see him furtively altering her meds so she'll stay hospitalized. And only gradually do we realize he's nuts.
Written by John Enbom and directed by Lance Daly, "The Good Doctor" regards everything from the young maniac's point of view, so the focus of suspense becomes not what he'll do next but whether he'll be caught.
It's icily superficial, showing us little about him but his anxiety and practically nothing about anyone else.
The idea of a doctor sabotaging a patient is so unsettling that the picture has the power to make you squirm and sweat. But it's no fun. It doesn't give you anything but the creeps.
"The Good Doctor," from Magnolia Pictures, is playing in New York and Los Angeles. Rating: *1/2 (Seligman) Rating:

Improving sustainability through recycling and water conservation events
Improving sustainability through recycling and water conservation events
Investment and Innovation
Intel began operations in New Mexico in 1980, with 25 employees on a small piece of land previously used as a sod farm. Thirty-six years later, Intel is the largest industrial employer in the state, with approximately 1,900 employees at its campus in Rio Rancho. The site is home to Fab 11X, one of Intel's 300mm semiconductor manufacturing facilities.
Intel's preference is to source locally whenever possible and, as a result, spent $210 million with New Mexico businesses in 2015.
Environmental Stewardship
Intel New Mexico supports environmental initiatives that improve sustainability awareness and conservation efforts in the community.
For example, Intel partners with Rio Rancho Public Schools and Galloping Grace Youth Ranch to support an environmental sustainability program which feeds livestock school cafeteria scraps instead of it being thrown into the trash.
Intel in the Community
Intel, the Intel Foundation and Intel employees contribute nearly $3 million a year to schools, nonprofit organizations and programs in New Mexico in support of education, the environment, and quality of life. Fifty-one percent of New Mexico Intel employees volunteered more than 50,000 hours of their time in 2015.
As a partner with schools, universities, government, and nonprofit organizations in New Mexico, Intel strives to give children the education and 21st century tools they need to succeed. Company contributions include grants to public schools in support of science, technology, engineering, and math education.

TAIPEI – The son of a Japanese man who is believed to have been killed during the military suppression of a major anti-government uprising in Taiwan in 1947, known as the 2/28 Incident, is planning to sue Taiwanese authorities for damages.
Keisho Aoyama, a 72-year-old resident of the city of Urasoe in Okinawa, will visit Taiwan on Sept. 15 and file the suit with the Taipei High Administrative Court on that day or later, it was learned Wednesday.
In 2013, Aoyama filed an application with Taiwanese authorities to recognize his father, Esaki, as the first foreign victim of the incident and demanded compensation.
His father was recognized as a victim in December 2014, but the authorities turned down the compensation demand on the grounds that the Japanese government did not pay reparations to former Taiwanese troops who fought for Japan during World War II or Taiwanese females who were forced to work in Japanese military brothels before and during the war.
Aoyama sought a re-examination of the authorities' rejection of the compensation petition in January. On July 22, however, he received a letter from Taiwanese Premier Mao Chi-kuo notifying him of the decision to dismiss the request.
Aoyama then made up his mind to take the matter to the Taipei court.
On Feb. 28, 1947, resistance movements spread across Taiwan against the government of Kuomintang, or the Chinese Nationalist Party, which was from mainland China, after a policeman fired a gun during a crackdown on unauthorized tobacco sales in Taipei the preceding day.
The Kuomintang government used force to suppress the protesters, and more than 20,000 people are believed to have been killed.
Following the incident, martial law was declared in 1949. It remained in place for 38 years.
In 1995, then-Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui officially apologized for the military crackdown. A full-fledged investigation to uncover the truth about the incident began under the government of the Democratic Progressive Party, which was launched in 2000.
At least four Japanese, all men from Okinawa, were victims in the 2/28 Incident, according to research by Seikiyo Matayoshi, visiting professor at Okinawa University. But details remain unknown.
Before the war, Esaki Aoyama was living in Taiwan as a fishing boat crew member. He arrived back in Kagoshima Prefecture, where his relatives were living, after being released from military service in Vietnam at the end of the war.
Esaki went to Taiwan in March 1947 to bring his family back to Japan but became involved in the anti-government uprising and suppression in the northern Taiwan city of Keelung. He is believed to have been killed by Kuomintang troops. He was 38 years old at the time.
Taiwanese authorities set up a fund in 1995 to recognize victims and pay compensation. So far, 862 people have been recognized as killed or missing in the incident, with compensation of up to 6 million New Taiwan dollars per person paid to relatives.
Keisho Aoyama said: "Tragedies such as the 2/28 Incident must never happen again. I want to make this case not only an issue of my own compensation but also to highlight human dignity and the importance of peace."

This Crock Pot Coca-Cola Roast recipe creates the most tender, caramelized, flavorful meat and gravy that I've ever tasted. This is the most popular slow cooker recipe on my blog and for good reason! You can use Pepsi or any other soda for this crock pot roast.
The crock pot is great for creating savory meat dishes with rich flavor and delicious sauces and gravies. Almost any traditional recipe can be adapted to this versatile appliance. What I love the most about crock pot recipes is that they require minimal preparation time and have a "set it and forget it" cooking style! You just throw everything in the slow cooker and forget about it! This crock pot roast has been a hit every time I made it.
This crock pot cola-cola roast can't go wrong, although it may sound odd, the coca-cola tenderizes the beef so nicely! It is very easy to prepare (under 10 minutes!). It can be made with any beef roast or beef stew meat. Both are great! I served this with my recipe for garlic smashed red potatoes and used the gravy from the pot to top the potatoes, but you can also use red potatoes and throw them in the crock pot with the roast to make things even easier for yourself.
- 1 beef roast of choice (use the size roast and the amount of vegetables you need to feed your family. I used a 2.5 pound Chuck Roast)
- 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
- 1 package dry onion soup mix
- 1 (12 oz) can Coke or Pepsi (NOT diet!)
- Red potatoes, halved
- Carrots, cut in chunks
- Place beef in crock pot (slow cooker) and top with dry onion soup mix.
- Place vegetables around roast.
- Mix together the cream of mushroom soup and the Coca-Cola in a bowl and pour over roast.
- Set crock pot on low, cook for 6-8 hours. The longer you cook, the more tender the meat becomes. The liquid makes a great gravy!

Wherefore art thou Lagunitas?
Are you familiar with the brewery Lagunitas out of Petaluma, CA? No? Yes? In our region the answer can go both ways. See, it is distributed all throughout Ohio with the exception of the greater Cincinnati area. Outside of the Midwest, it has a pretty expansive footprint hitting about thirty-five states. For those unfamiliar with the brand let me give you a brief history on the brewery.
How it Began
A man named Tony Magee was one of the original "I'm fed up with the system, so I'm starting a brewery" sorts. This revelation stretches back to 1992, the early days of the craft beer revolution. He transformed blood, sweat, tears, and yeast into a massive craft brewery on par with his brothers over at Sierra Nevada. This is a real homebrew to riches story that I don't want to detail in great length. Especially because Tony does a far better job in his book, The Lagunitas Story; So You Want To Start A Brewery…? However, to cut to the chase, it's important to understand that Tony has always done things his way and has been extremely successful with the approach. Some may find his style abrasive at times but I see him as a laser focused entrepreneur who is writing his own destiny. Too big to fail? No, too determined to fail. A quick side story to illustrate where his head is at and why he will control his future. With the boom in craft beer there has been a fairly well publicized shortage of hops available to brewers. Each year, brewers compete (and pay) to get access to not the current year's crops but actually secure contracts on future harvests. This has become pretty much the norm for breweries of all sizes. Mr. Magee has recognized that grains, you know – the base ingredient for beer, will be the next issue. He has made arrangements with Canadian malt farmers to help expand their operations while making sustainable and fair pricing arrangements. This ensures he will have quality malts for years to come.
The Dilly Incident
I will recount a story that I heard during the local Beer Bloggers conference in January. Keep in mind, this is from one side of the saga and I'm willing to believe the truth lies somewhere in the middle. I reached out for further comment from the the bar, the distributor, and the brewery and heard nothing but crickets. Dilly Cafe in Mariemont has long been a craft beer staple in the area often securing some pretty remarkable beers. The man behind the bar has been the legendary Peanut Kahles (who is actually moving over to the Party Source's new operation shortly) and is the individual that shared the story when I asked a panel of industry professionals why we can get Lagunitas here. Of course, this was after some smiles, chuckles, snickers, and looks in his direction. The basic story, as I recall, was that Lagunitas planned to roll out across the state. They had beers shipped to the distributor (Premium Beverage Supply) and had orchestrated a statewide launch. Well, somehow a keg slipped out ahead of schedule and got put on tap at Dilly. Apparently, this got back to Tony Magee himself and he was none too pleased. It what seems to be a vindictive, reactionary move he decided to cut off Cincinnati permanently. End of story. No beer for you. You can drive up to Kettering or Dayton and find it. But once you see Kings Island or Touchdown/Footlong Jesus – no mas.
Will We Ever See It?
I've really enjoyed many of the Lagunitas beers that I've had when traveling. They may not be making top 10 lists on beer rating sites but they are all well done and priced at a great value. During a recent trip to San Diego, I brought home a bomber of their Lucky 13 imperial red, which was delicious. After sucking that down, I put out a fairly innocent tweet that actually got some big attention.
Who's ready to sign a petition to demand that @lagunitasT begin distributing in Cincinnati. Rest of the state gets it but we are snubbed!
— Brew Professor (@BrewProf) June 13, 2013
A few people retweeted it, favorited it, and provided some responses to share their agreement with my sentiment. I thought nothing about it and went to bed. To my surprise the next morning, I had a direct message from @laguintasT himself! His position is that of supply/demand and not being able to meet market needs currently. I mused that perhaps their new Chicago facility would be the answer to my prayers. Again, I heard back that our prospects are looking good!
So where does that leave us now? Still waiting and wondering. I keep my ears to the street as much as possible but I haven't heard anything from others in the know. For now, plan a road trip up 75 or 71, otherwise just sit tight and enjoy the MANY great local beers we have at our disposal.
