I've been on a journey to live a life that is kind to our planet for several years, but there's always room for improvement. It's near impossible (not to mention unrealistic) to immediately change everything overnight. Habits are developed a few at a time, and once they're in place, more new habits can be implemented.
Over the past few years I've taken many steps to reduce my carbon footprint and implemented new habits and routines. I've drastically reduced the amount of plastic in my life and replaced most disposable items with reusable alternatives. I've installed different gadgets and gizmos to reduce my energy use. And so on. But there is always room for improvement.
I recently read No Impact Man for the second time and it inspired me just as much as the first time around. I'm ready to tackle the next phase of new habits and tighten up on some that have fallen a bit out of practice.It's not about deprivation; it's about living with intention. Click To Tweet
I like lists. Writing things down helps me remember and keeps me accountable and focused. So I did what I naturally do when I'm feeling motivated and inspired…make a list. These are things I have done and/or plan to continue doing and working on since finishing No Impact Man this month:
- Replaced kcups with tea bags. (I couldn't believe how much cheaper it was!)
- Turn off the water while I wash my hands, brush my teeth, and scrub dishes.
- Be more conscientious of the thermostat.
- Be more conscientious about leaving lights on and things plugged in.
- Buy more used clothes when I need something.
- Don't use my dishwasher. (Honestly, I never had one until this house and it would take me like a week to fill it anyway.)
- Only do full loads of laundry.
- Be more diligent about recycling.
- Instead of blow drying my hair right after I get out of the shower, it's now the last thing I do before leaving, so that it has time to air dry a bit. (Plus this is better for my hair!)
- Quit using Qtips This was initially a tough habit to break, but I've known for a long time that I really shouldn't be using them to clean out my ears! It's one of the last few disposable items that I use and one I've been meaning to cut for a while.
- Wear my clothes a few times before washing them. (Within reason of course!)
- Walk to work more often.
- Bundle my errands.
- Eat out less.
- Don't let water boil longer than needed before I put the food in. Same with pre-heating the oven.
- Turned my water heater down a bit. (Water heats up fast in this tiny house!)
This isn't a comprehensive list of different actions you can take to reduce your carbon footprint. Like I said, I've already implemented many things and they're now just part of my regular routine. The things on this list are the particular things I still need to improve on.
It's different for everyone. We all have aspects of green living that will come easily to us and other aspects that will be more challenging. We all probably have things we're not willing to give up. (For me it's relaxing soaks in the tub. I also really enjoy sending and receiving mail.) It's not about deprivation; it's about living with intention and living a life that is happy for you and the planet.
Some things make sense for some of us but not all of us. For example, I've thought about collecting rainwater, but unless I make friends with neighbors that have a use for it, it's not anything I can use right now. Same with composting. (Although I do want to find an avenue for organic waste.)There are often tradeoffs that make it challenging to make a truly green decision. Click To Tweet
Don't feel pressured to mirror my list or do every single green thing possible while forgoing things you need and enjoy in life. There are often tradeoffs that make it challenging to make a truly "green" decision. For example, some may prefer organic cotton for their clothing and home textiles because it reduces pesticides and other chemicals. However, even organic cotton requires very large amounts of water to grow. Or there is the big paper versus plastic bag dilemma. (Although I prefer neither!) There's rarely a perfect solution. You have to choose what works best for you, your values, and your life. It's a personal choice.
PS: One of my favorite silver linings to all this eco-friendly hippie stuff? Most of it saves you money!
So this is my current list to tackle. What is on yours?

Yesterday's pressure test saw "MasterChef Australia" contestant Theresa Visintin being eliminated. The only contestant who can make the perfect duck parfait believes that fellow contestant Matt is on the right track and is oozing with confidence, making him a strong contender for the trophy.
Yesterday's episode of "MasterChef Australia" had the bottom three contestants cooking Michelin star chef Jason Atherton's dish called Quail Afternoon Tea. The complicated recipe which had 50 steps and 44 ingredients had Brett, Charlie, and Theresa in panic. However, it was Visintin who went home as her plate lacked some of the elements of the dish.
She received some great comments from the judges for her cooking, states Daily Mail. "That parfait is as good as any I've had in Australia," said Matt Preston. But a forgotten quail egg and a tea bag was all that was needed to push her out of the show.
"I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to shine the way I hoped to, but it doesn't mean that I can't continue shining," said Visintin, controlling her tears.
It might be the end of the road for "MasterChef Australia," but not for her food journey. According to Pop Sugar Australia, Visintin followed her brother Jimmy Wong to get experience at Reynold Poernomo's Koi. Additionally, she has also been learning from Ava Stangherlin and Nellie Robinson.
Sunshine Coast Daily states that Visintin is now over the elimination and looking at the future. "You can't go back and change it, so there's no point dwelling on it. I'm very grateful and I have no regrets," she said. "Food is now my priority for sure. I want to get all these recipes out of my head and on to a media (platform) of some sort, whether it be YouTube or my website. Then whatever comes from that would be great," she added.
However, when it comes to guessing the top contenders to the trophy, like Con Vailas, she believes that Matt Sinclair is the strong one. "Matt, at this stage, is blowing us away with his confidence. He is one of the most confident cooks I have met, which is something that's really inspirational. He knows what he likes to eat and what he wants to cook," she said.

The Historical Context
Briefly describe the growth of the Roman Republic to 264bc
a. Tarquinius Superbus overthrown, 509bc
Initially, Rome was ruled by king but, when the seventh king Tarquin the
Proud disregarded the Senate and his son raped a Roman noblewoman, he was
deposed by a revolution led by two senators, Brutus and Collatinus; in the
war that followed, Horatio held the bridge.
b. Legendary Wars, 5th century bc
The Romans defeated or subjugated the tribes of central Italy - notably the Volscii, the Veii and the Sabines; few facts are known about this period, only legends.
c. Gallic invasion, 390-387bc
Celtic tribes invaded from Gaul; they conquered the north of Italy (Cisalpine Gaul) and sacked Rome.
d. Samnite Wars, 343-282bc
The Romans conquered central Italy and established their rule over the tribes and cities there.
e. Pyrrhic War, 280-275bc
The south of Italy was ruled by Greek trading colonies; after a series of 'pyrrhic' victories, the Greek commander Pyrrhus withdrew from Italy.
Briefly describe the growth of the Carthaginian Empire to 264bc
a. Carthage established, 814bc
Carthage was establised as a Phoenician trading colony, allegedly by Queen Dido; over the next two centuries it established control over the local Libyan and Numidian tribes.
b. Sardinia and Spain, 580-540bc
The Carthaginians took control of Sardinia after the Battle of Alalia (c. 540bc) and after the fall of Tyre in 580bc gradually took control of Phoenician trading colonies such as Gades (Cadiz) and other towns in Spain.
c. Himlico and Hanno, 450-420bc
Himlico sailed as far as Britain and Hanno explored the coast of Africa (450-420bc)
d. Sicily
War broke out with the Greeks over Sicily in 580bc; the Carthaginians were defeated in the battle of Himera (480bc), were invaded by a Greek force in 310-307bc, and were restricted to the Epikrateia (area of 'predominance') in the west of Sicily; the area remained a source of conflict.
e. Treaties with Rome
The Etruscans were Carthage's allies against the Greeks, and - when they were defeated by the Romans - Carthage sought alliances with Rome (509 and 348 bc); Roman traders were excluded from Sardinia, Libya, and this confirmed Carthaginian control over trade in the Western Mediterranean.
Briefly describe the government of Rome in the 3rd century bc
a. Assembly of the Centuries
There were a number of popular assemblies; the most important was the Assembly of the Centuries', which elected the Consuls, vetted laws, declared war and served as the court of appeal; Roman citizens were protected by provocatio (a kind of habeas corpus) and could appeal against any government official to the Tribunes.
b. The Senate
A body of aristocrats appointed by the Consuls (i.e. not elected) which controlled finance,administration and foreign policy; it gave 'advice' to the magistrates which had to be followed.
c. Magistrates
A range of magistrates administered the government (praetors who administered the laws, censors who conducted a census, aediles who ran the day-to-day government of the city, and Tribunes who protected the constitution and he rights of individuals); they were appointed in twos, so that one restrained the other.
d. The Consuls
The highest-ranking magistrates, elected for one year, who were head of the government; they chaired the Senate and the Assembly of the Centuries, and acted as generals of the army.
e. Dictators
In a crisis, a dictator would be appointed for a term of 6 months with absolute power; the Senate would not meet.
Briefly describe the government of the Carthaginian Empire in the 3rd century bc
a. The Assembly of Citizens
Like Rome, Carthage was a Republic, with power theoretically in the hands of 'the Assembly' - the all-male meeting of citizens which had the 'sovereign decision' over laws; Aristotle thought the system too democratic, because decisions were taken to the Assembly whenever the suffetes and Mighty Ones could not come to a unanimous decision (Polybius too said that the citizens had more power than in Rome) ... but events show that it still rubber-stamped the decisions of the city's leaders.
b. The 'Mighty Ones'
An elected body of 300, equivalent to the Roman Senate, which controlled the Treasury and foreign policy. It was dominated by the noble families, and there seems to have been a 'peace party' led by Hanno the Great) and a war party (led by the Barcids).
c. The Tribunal of the 104
A kind of 'Supreme Court' of magistrates which guarded the constitution, acted as judges in lawsuits and monitored the generals (unsuccessful generals were crucified).
d. The Pentarchies
According to Aristotle, Boards-of-Five were set up 'which control many important matters'; Aristotle praises the way these were chosen on merit, but criticised the way they came only from the leading families.
e. The Suffetes
Two 'judges' elected annually by the Assembly, who ran the day-to-day government and officials (equivalent to the Roman 'consuls', though Polybius and Aristotle refer to them as 'kings').
Briefly describe the armed forces of Rome in the 3rd century bc
a. A Citizen Army
Drawn from Rome and the allied Italian states.
b. Legions
In 218 a Legion consisted of 4200 Roman infantry and 300 Roman cavalry, with perhaps 8000 extra Alied troops; a Consul would command two legions, so a Roman Army was usually about 25,000 men. By 212bc, however, there were 25 Legions in the field, and the Roman army at Cannae was 80,000 strong.
c. Hastati, principes and triarii
Roman infantry fought in thee lines - hastati (the youngest soldiers) in the front, then the principes (most experienced heavy infantry), and the triarii (veterans) behind, plus light armed velites would open the attack, and the equites (cavalry) would occupy the wings of the army; this formation proved very successful against a rush of Gaulish tribesmen.
d. Maniples
The army was organised into maniples of 140 men; this gave it a flexibility which allowed it to defeat a Greek phalanx; however, complex manoeuvres were unusual in the Roman army, which stressed instead discipline and fighting to the death.
e. Roman weapons
A Roman Legionary fought with a rectangular scutum (shield), a short two-edged sword, with javelins or spears; they wore helmets and a breast-plate.
Briefly describe the armed forces of the Carthaginian Empire in the 3rd century bc
a. A professional army
Unlike the Roman Army, Carthaginian generals were professional and full-time, drawn from a 'Sacred Band' of about 2500 full-time soldiers.
b. Smaller Numbers
Hannibal left 11,000 troops in Spain, allowed others to return home at the Rhone, and lost many soldiers in the Alps; he only had 12,000 troops when he arrived in Italy (and just one elephant). Although he made up numbers from Gaulish and Italian recruits, he was not reinforced from Carthage, so he had to look after his armies in a way the Romans did not.
c. The Army
After the 'Truceless War' (a revolt of mercenaries, 241-237bc), the Carthaginians did not use mercenaries - their army consisted mainly of 'African' (= Libyphoenician) and Spanish levies, with units of Gauls and Italians who joined after Cannae; in additions to the Carthaginian cavalry, there were units of Numidian and Gaulish cavalry.
d. Tactics
ThHannibal seems to have had a very flexible approach to tactics, which he developed for the situation - there was therefore no set form of battle; his success came from his highly-skilled cavalry, and hos ability to develop surprise tactics on the spot.
e. Carthaginian weapons
At first, Hannibal's army was very diverse - Carthaginians with a round shield and spear, Spaniards with white tunics and short swords, Gauls naked from the waist-up, Balearic islanders with slingshots, and elephants; as the war went on and Hannibal equipped his army from the spoils of war, his men used Roman weapons and armour. They also had catapults and ballistae siege weapons.
Explain why conflict arose between Rome and Carthage in the 3rd century bc
a. Two growing empires
The Treaty of 348 bc excluded Roman traders from Sardinia, Libya, and confirmed Carthaginian control over trade in the Western Mediterranean, so it was inevitable that, as Rome's power grew, she would challenge this Carthaginian domination; historians have suggested that the victory over Pyrrhus gave the Romans the confidence to do so.
b. Jacques Heurgon's theory
In 1969, French Latinist Jacques Heurgon suggested that Rome needed to keep expanding to produce the food and money survive - 'it was dragged ever onwards by the mechanism of its conquests'.
c. Sicily
Having driven the Greeks from southern Italy, it was natural that the Romans should wish to drive the Carthaginians from Sicily; when war broke out in Sicily in 264bc between the city of Syracuse and the the Mamertines, mercenaries who had taken over the city of Messina, the Romans went to the aid of the Mamertines, whilst the Carthaginians supported Syracuse. The gave Rome her opportunity and causus belli.
d. The Atilii
The capture of southern Italy from the Greeks helped the southern Atilius family and their clients to come to power in Rome Atilii held the Consulship seven times 267-245) - it was southern Italy most threatened by the Carthaginian presence in Sicily.
e. Pottery
About this time, archaeology shows, exports of Roman pottery to Africa began to
grow - Roman would have wanted to take advantage of this trade at Carthage's expense
and the Treaty of 348bc got in the way.
Briefly describe the First Punic War, 264-241bc
a. The Mamertines and Syracuse, 264bc
When war broke out in Sicily in 264bc between the city of Syracuse and the the Mamertines, mercenaries who had taken over the city of Messina, the Romans went to the aid of the Mamertines, whilst the Carthaginians supported Syracuse.
b. Battle of Agrigentum, 262bc
After the Romans defeated General Hanno and his army of mercenaries at Agrigentum, the Carthaginians resolved not to fight the Romans on land, but protected their cities using their navy.
c. Roman naval victories, 260-256bc
Polybius describes how the Romans built a navy and invented 'the corvus' (raven) boarding platform; they defeated the Carthaginian navy at Mylae; cut off from help by sea, the Carthaginian cities became besieged 'islands of influence'.
d. Roman invasion of Africa, 256-255bc
A Roman Army led by Regulus defeated the Carthaginian navy at Cape Ecnomus and invaded Africa; although he was eventually defeated at the Battle of Tunis by Xanthippus, a Greek mercenary general, the Roman fleet was able to evacuate the Roman army.
e. Hamilcar Barca, 247-241bc
In 249bc, at the battle of Drepana, the Carthaginian Navy won back control of the seas; the Carthaginians sent Hamilcar Barca to Sicily, who held back the Romans with guerrilla tactics, but when the Roman naval victory at the Aegates Islands (241bc) he was cut off from his supplies, and had to negotiate a truce and abandon Sicily - whereupon the Carthaginians sued for peace (agreeing to cede Sicily and pay a war indemnity of 66 tons of silver).
Explain why the Romans won the First Punic War
a. Military superiority
Especially at the beginning of the war; although the Carthaginian army improved under Xanthippus and Hamilcar Barca, it was always smaller (fighting overseas) and inferior to the trained Roman forces.
b. The Roman Navy
Especially with the invention of the corvus; the resulting Roman naval blockade isolated the Carthaginian cities and armies from help.
c. Rome's resources
Rome just 'kept going' - 'So the Romans and Carthaginians, worn out by their exertions owing to the continual fighting, at length began to be despairing, their strength paralysed and their resources exhausted by protracted taxation and expense. But, in spite of all, the Romans, as if fighting for their lives [raised a third navy].' TWO fleets were lost to storms, and in all some 700 ships were lost, Polybius, who called the war 'the bloodiest in history' estimated that 400,000 men died, mostly Romans.
d. Carthage's maritime empire
Carthage's wealth was based on TRADE, so the war and the cost of the navy was ruining her the longer it went on; by contrast, Rome was an expansionist military machine which relied on conquest to pay for itself.
e. Hanno the Great
Hanno was leader of the peace party in Carthaginian politics; coming to power in 244bc he disbanded the navy (leading to the defeat at the Aegates Islands and Hamilcar's defeat).
Explain the significance of the First Punic War
a. The Roman Empire
Sicily was Rome's first conquests beyind the Italian mainland (i.e. as Polybius said, it was the start of her overseas empire, and thereby of that desire to expand to conquer the world).
David Taylor has pointed out that the conceit of 'protecting
an ally' - which the Romans had used as the pretext for war in 264bc (the
Mamertines) - was used again as the pretext for the Second Punic War
(Saguntum) ... and essentially gave the Romans a carte blanche to
interfere in any state in any part of the world they wanted.
b. The Roman Navy
Before the First Punic War, Rome had been a land-based state with a powerful army; the war had convinced
the Romans that they needed a navy ... and Rome thereafter was a maritime power as well -
which was always going to create a further clash with Carthage, as Rome expanded outwards (contrary to the 348bc Treaty) into the western Mediterranean.
c. Carthage was weakened
Carthage was hugely weakened by the war and its aftermath. The
Carthaginians lost Sicily (which had supplied them with grain). They
had to pay a war indemnity of 66 tons of silver. They were then rocked
by the mutiny of the mercenaries (the Truceless War) and a slave revolt,
during which the Romans annexed Sardinia.
d. Carthaginian conquest of Spain, 237-220bc
Defeated in Sicily, the Carthaginians (led by Hamilcar) decided to abandon
the central Mediterranean and they built up instead colonies in north Africa
and in Spain; this policy, ultimately, led to the Second Punic War because
Rome feared a powerful land-empire in Spain as much as it did a Carthaginian
foothold in Sicily - hence the Ebro Treaty of 226bc and the clash over
e. Hamilcar Barca
Even if the story of Hamilcar making his son at the age of 9 swear never
to be a friend to Rome is not true, it is clear that he communicated to
him a lifelong hatred of Rome and a desire for revenge;
that this feeling was general amongst the people of Carthage is shown in
that Hamilcar was able to build up a 'war party' in Carthage ... which
was why, when the Roman delegates offered 'peace or war' in 218bc, the
Assembly supported Hannibal and chose war

Anyway, on the top center I have 'yet another' palette, S104 78 color eyeshadow from NYX, and then some STILA travel palette, I also bought a number of foundation, bare minerals brushes and pink brush set, Make-up book by Robert Jones (one of my fave MUA), CC cream, base, some Lioele stuff (sleeping pack, pore rich balm), lipsticks, curlers, skincare, Bourjois blush, etc, etc... lol
Closer look~ On the left side of bare minerals brushes are TFS eyeshadow stick (which is perfect for inner corner eye brightener!), REVLON just bitten kissable in crush, NYX Jumbo eye pencil in milky.
♥ (I bought two jar because I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!), Revlon photoready airbrush mousse foundation in shell (don't like it bcuz it has shimmer!), SEPHORA light veil mousse foundation (my first love~!♥), Milani Mousse foundation which I adore so very much!♥
Sooo yeaa, completing and revamping my very own make-up traincase is so amusing! I'm gonna look for a new bigger traincase too. I want one in silver or pink :)
Then, I want to show you some of my favorite items which makes me fall head over heel in love with them~! I can find myself wearing these quite often bcuz I really really like it :3
SEPHORA light veil foundation and CLINIQUE eye shadow duo in Rusted Roses!♥♥
Hehe... I bougt Sephora Foundation from MusesWonderland, the result is far beyond my expectation. Being mesmerized by the result of mousse type foundation, I hunt lots of mousse and whipped type foundation and luckily found some holy grails! Thanks Sephora fond de teint! You opened my eyes!
While the Clinique eye shadow duo in rusted roses is a preloved items pre-owned by a friend, Jaclyn. I bought it on a whim cuz the price was so cheap and the duo color looked enticing and wearable. Plus... it's a Clinique~!
ANNA SUI ~ Sui Rouge V 361.
I Love love LOVE this lipstick! ANNA SUI also changes my old perspective about lipstick. My first lipstick was NYX round lipstick and I grow to dislike it by time bcuz of its incredulous and sloppy quality. But ANNA SUI is different. I know everyone on BEAUTYLISH love this baby as well. Anna Sui Rouge feels more like a tint in stick form and it has an exhilarating real rose scent!
Will also make a separate review for this baby later ^-^ ♥
Okaaay, moving on from a haul post, now I have a palette to review! It's an eye shadow and eye brow palette sponsored by KKCENTERHK.
EyeShadow Color : Pink & Sliver & White
Eyebrow Color : Brown & Black
Box Size : 10cm x 4cm x 1cm[
Eyebrow Color : Brown & Black
Box Size : 10cm x 4cm x 1cm[
I'll make a quick review for this palette :) First, about the packaging. It looks like your typical eyeshadow case. Design is just OK, I like it. But the material used need to be improved. The plastic packaging is kinda wobbly and is not sturdy. I think it will break apart on the first time you drop it! Haha!
It comes with a dual sided applicator, sponge brush for eyeshadow and pricky flat brush for eye brow. They're pretty much useless so I'll just throw it away.
What I like about this palette is the eye brow color. The colors are so natural and they're long lasting :) The lighter shade turned out darker swatched, but still match my hair nicely.
The eyeshadows are so-so. Barely has any color pay-off on eyelids even with base, and they look so frosty that I think it's better to use them as inner corner eye brightener instead of the actual eyeshadow. The texture is very crumbly! far away from the creaminess you dreamt off~ hahaay!
On my next post, I'm still going to continue my eye shadow/eye palette review galore :)
I'll leave you with a photo teaser~ Ciao!
Banila co. Jessica friday the night eye palette!

Like the title says. What do you reckon?
Please clarify your question...your question doesn't fully explain what you are asking!
my question is should they make a footy manager for the wii/ds?
i think it is perfectly clear.
but i've never played football manager so im not really all that interested.
why do you read the thread then?
i would love a game for the ds use the touch screen to drag your player to a certain position and shouting into the touch screen
personally... i'm not into that
i'd say ehh no, maybe, for others, i wouldnt care
would be really good wouldnt it
So are you talking about who should make a football game for the Wii? I think EA Sports already did. I am not sure if they have a manger mode or not.
yeah id like to see it!
Would be good, still would prefer it on pc though. Don't know if the Wii could handle it though, you would only get like 5 playable leagues lol.
That would be pretty cool i would like that
yeah it'd be good
Football Manager type games used to be great... when they took less than 3 hours to complete a season ( I.e., Football Director and Championship Manager 1 ).
But now - your lucky to complete the season in 10 hours of play. They are way too long winded. They can still be as hard core - but please, speed up the game.
I love the stats and history recording, but I don't want each season to be so time consuming. Championship Manager 3 and onwards - well, more time waiting than playing - as it goes from hour to hour per day.
Championship Manager has been done on PSP, and cell phones, so doable on Wii.
because you asked a question dipshit. don't ask a question if you don't want peoples answers.

Should I Love My Enemies?

What is the Meaning of Life?
By Jay V One day I was sitting on a glider swing under a huge Linden Tree. I was in high school struggling with thoughts, of who I was and what was I to do with my life. I was watching a pair of birds flying to and fro and feeding their young in a nest above me. I was down; I had few friends, found school difficult, and was wondering what the purpose of life was. As I watched the birds above me I wondered why wasn't I like them? They seemed to have a great life: no troubles, no school, and...More

SEQUINNED TROUSERS by House Of CB, Top from ASOS, IWC Portofino Watch, Chanel Chain Wallet, Christian Louboutin shoes
Slacking again I know! My bad. I wanted to share this outfit with you guys because I LOVE SEQUINS and these SEQUINNED TROUSERS are giving me life right now. I stumbled onto this brand a few years ago just because my cousin was absolutely obsessed with it and I never really thought of buying from it, well.. I kind of never really had a reason not to. Now I own almost everything that drops from the site.
I think the brand became more of a hit after the Kardashian/ Jenner clan started rocking their jumpsuits and amazing coats. Well, funny enough it was one of the bloggers who sold me the brand and she rocks her looks flawlessly (if only I was as tall as she is) Anyway check out the House of CB collection online HERE.

British Airways has warned its cabin crew that they face the risk of fresh legal action or dismissal if they proceed with another round of strikes over summer/autumn 2010 (Financial Times, 29-Jun-2010). The carrier has revealed that 4,500 applicants have formally registered interest in being hired as Heathrow cabin crew since it commenced a recruitment drive last week for 1,250 new staff on reduced salaries at the base.
Ryanair CEO, Michael O'Leary, stated British Airways CEO, Willie Walsh, has done a "fantastic job" dealing with the carrier's striking cabin crew, commenting: "I would have sacked them all long ago" (Financial Times, 29-Jun-2010).

Let's Not Forget Justin Timberlake Was in 'N Sync
Let's Not Forget Justin Timberlake Was in 'N Sync
Before delivering a great performance as Napster and Facebook founder Sean Parker in the critically acclaimed film "The Social Network," Justin Timberlake had bleach-blond cornrows and wore shiny FuBu parkas.
This week Justin Timberlake is entering the final phase of a truly impressive transformation from Tiger Beat covers to being taken seriously as an actor.
"The Social Network" premieres this Friday across the country and Timberlake plays the role of Sean Parker, co-founder of Napster and Facebook's first president. Timberlake's role forces him to be brilliant, funny, charming, engrossing, and paranoid. With no knowledge of JT's IQ, the role basically calls for Timberlake to be himself, which he does quite successfully.
The media frenzy surrounding the film has issued glowing praise, tossing around phrases like "movie of the year" and "Oscar favorite." In fact, multiple critics have even compared it to "Citizen Kane," which is widely regarded as the greatest film of all time.
However lets take a second to reflect on the third most important person in this decade-defining film: Justin Timberlake, who was a member of 'N Sync for seven years.
Before we anoint him the less-intimidating Mark Wahlberg of our generation, lets take a trip down memory lane. Lets take it back to when people listened to the radio and MTV played music videos, when boy bands ruled the world.
"I Want You Back"
When 'N Sync was created they spent a couple years out in Germany crafting their first album, becoming chart-topping hit makers in Deutschland before they were ever heard in the United States. Their aesthetic was the anti-Backstreet Boys. The two boy bands' music was similar, but while the Backstreet Boys were primarily clean cut, 'N Sync looked like the kids that hang out behind Starbucks. This video is the European version of "I Want You Back," which I guess explains the skintight half-zip t-shirt and MC hammer pants Timberlake is wearing. However nothing really explains why they're on a space ship.
"Tearing Up My Heart"
VH1 ranked "Tearing Up My Heart" the 30th best song of the 90s. I guess it was because the song brilliantly describes the confusion of love at the age of 16. We can thank this music video for the beginning of their use of all-white wardrobes. JT rocks suspenders with a polo shirt and hangs out on a bed wearing a wife beater, branding himself as a sex symbol before his 18th birthday. Also someone brought a basketball to the empty warehouse; there is no explanation why.
"A Little More Time on You"
Sticking with the white-outfit idea, the guys decide to kick it up a notch and deck themselves out in all white. They look like a white version of New Edition. The video is so complex there should be Ph. D classes taught about it. We've got baseball games from the 1930s(?) and there's a guy going off to war. But the narrative isn't nearly as confusing as is the question of why they put dry ice in the holy water container. God ain't gonna like that.
"Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays"
What do you do when you have a top ten album and three singles high on the charts? Cash in on a Christmas song, of course. 'N Sync did just that and with the help of Gary fuckin' Colman (RIP). They delivered presents and holiday cheer to the unfortunate and hot girls. The video features atrocious use of a green screen and too many pairs of ski-goggles. Timberlake's love for turtlenecks can be traced back to this music video.
"Drive Myself Crazy"
The third single off their self-titled debut we find the gang locked in a white-padded room, possibly making an ever-so-slight metaphorical allusion to how they're driving themselves crazy. The most shocking part of the music video is that Chris Kirkpatrick, the really weird looking guy who looks like he could be an extra in "Can't Hardly Wait," sings the entire first verse. Here's a shocking bit of 'N Sync trivia: Kirkpatrick was also the founding member of the band.
Timberlake's hair has reached its most outrageously terrible-looking point. Frankly, with all the bleach thrown on his scalp in the late 90s he's lucky to be able to grow hair. JT also seems to be decked out in FuBu and Phat Farm. Lance Bass makes an appearance, pretending to be straight.
"Bye, Bye, Bye"
The definitive 'N Sync song also happens to be their most memorable video. The ever-so-clever bunch appears as puppets and Timberlake can be found sporting a blond afro that no one can take seriously.
"No Strings Attached" is the group's signature album and the videos are considerably bigger budget. All of a sudden they're casting hot brunettes, Rottweilers, and have JC Chasez and Lance Bass driving a Dodge Viper. Bros everywhere can thank the choreographer for inventing a dance to attempt when trying to be ironic.
"It's Gonna Be Me"
For some reason the members of 'N Sync (or whatever evil entity controlled them) thought that appearing as action figures was a big enough departure from puppets. Bad move. The same people thought outfits that consisted of matching acid-washed jean suits was a good idea, too. The result was a creepy music video in which they are trying to get the attention of another hot brunette at a KB Toys or Toys R Us, fighting with toy soldiers and Barbie dolls in an effort to get bought. This video also happens to be the last known sighting of Timberlake's hair.
The first single off of 'N Sync's final album gives the world the first look of the Justin Timberlake they were going to begin to know and love. The video opens with a buzzed-haired JT testing his comedic chops, and the video later features his impressive beat-boxing ability. Here is when we begin to notice that Timberlake isn't your usual white boy and his Mickey Mouse Club talent begins to take form. However he's certainly is nowhere near being GQ's 2009 Most Stylish Man In America—I believe he's wearing a short-sleeve pleather button up.
I know, I thought this was from his solo album, too. Timberlake seems to have both feet out the boy band door with this 'N Sync hit. Yet again he's testing out his physical acting ability, this time as Charlie Chaplin. Why? You tell me. But the transition from random black-and-white silent film to a tattooed sleeveless JT isn't exactly a smooth one. It's amazing to think that JC Chasez was once the co-lead singer of this group as he joins Kirkpatrick, Fatone, and Bass as Timberlake's backup singers.
As we now know Timberlake went from being loved by screaming 13 year-olds to being respected by the hip-hop community. Over the course of the past ten years he has been romantically linked with Britney Spears (pre-meltdown), Stacy Ferguson (before she was Fergie), Alyssa Milano, Cameron Diaz, Scarlett Johansson, and Jessica Biel. He also has been voted sexiest man by Teen People and Cosmo. He was GQ's 2009 Most Stylish Man in America.
He's had an incredibly successful solo career highlighted by the critical and financial hit "FutureSex/LoveSounds" and this week plays a main role in the movie of the year. He also plays golf at a six handicap (translation: he's really fucking good).
Yes, most men would offer their thumbs to live his life for a week. Yes, most women would offer their husband's or boyfriend's thumbs to replace him with JT for a week.
But remember: he was the lead singer in 'N Sync! He wore FuBu and choreographically humped the ground with four other dudes in music videos!

Rashmi Sharma Productions Saath Nibhana Saathiya on Star Plus, has been going through many ups and down.
Our sources say that in the upcoming episodes, Savita will be giving Kokila (Rupal Patel) some jewellery to keep whereas Rashi (Rucha Hasabnis) and Urmila (Vandana Vithlani) will be making pickles for their respective family members.
However, the boxes containing the jewellery and pickles will get mixed after which the Modi family will think that Rashi has mixed contaminated oil in the pickle. On the other hand, Savita will think that Rashi has stolen her jewellery box that she had given the Modi family to keep.
Theres much more to this with Rashi blaming Gopi (Devoleena Bhattacharjee) of mixing contaminated oil in the pickle. And after she complains this to the police, they will arrest Gopi.
When contacted, Devoleena Bhattacharjee confirmed the news and said, Yes, I have shot for the promo in which I will be arrested not knowing for what? We are yet to shoot the sequence.
This particular maha episode will be telecast on 1 September between 7.00 and 8.00 pm

The elder flower in the bag was so fresh and heavenly smelling..mmmmm. The tea it made was even better. Seriously it tasted like the outdoors and sunshine. Yes, that sounds weird, but the tea is soo good even my kids, who are always groaning about some of mom's new healthy for you stuff, liked it. My 23 year old was feeling under the weather and coughing so I said I would make her some, as it is supposed to cure what ails ya. She drank it and she said she felt almost instantly better. She even told one of her friends...."you gotta try this tea, it's great"

Best thing since sliced bread. Have tried every remedy and "trick" to overcome motion sickness, to no avail. With these little babies I no longer get air sick..AT ALL. These also work great for my child who gets really sick in the backseat of ANY vehicle. Pop one under the tongue, and she can travel anywhere...in the backseat. Wonderful product.

just naired top lip. After my daughter uses Nair on her top lip, she is left with a red,spotty looking rash. She puts some of this on her lip afterwards, and within a few hours that redness/spottiness is gone. Very soothing. We tried to use it for facial moisturizing, but yikes..way too oily, even with just a couple of drops.

Was hoping these would work for my 13 year old, as I really don't like to always give Benadryl. Verdict: didn't work at all. Used the whole bottle and nothing. Benadryl it is.

I bought this for my 11 year old, who has nasal and chest congestion from allergies. Went through 2 bottles with no difference in her symptoms. She is currently sitting on the couch, coughing, battling major phlegm from her sinuses and chest. Another product from a long list that doesn't do what it says.
Posted by iHerb Customer on Feb 09, 2015 | Verified Purchase
This product is great. Lasts forever. The only thing I don't like is how it comes out of the bottle. Can never seem to get it to come out a drop at a time. You slowly tip it over to get a little and it just glops/pours out. Can't tell you how many times I have had to drink way too sweet beverages. Good thing I like it.
Posted by iHerb Customer on Jul 01, 2011 | Verified Purchase
I really like this product because of the natural ingredients. Never irritated my sensitive skin. The only problem I have with this is the fact that it's SO GREASY, even if I put just a dab on. Holy cow. I have combo skin on my face, so I avoided the greasy T zone and just put it on my cheeks and neck mainly. First time I have ever experienced uber greasy cheeks. I think your skin would have to be extremely parched in the first place for this lotion. Lovely product but for me I wouldn't order it again. My search continues for a natural non greasy product for my face.
This stuff was gross. Granted, it did go on real nice, but it smelled really bad, which I can attribute to the hemp oil in their having gone rancid.
Ordered this for one of my kids, as she has very bad sinus congestion off and on. I gave her a ton of these, and they didn't work at all. When other members of my family came down with plugged noses, for whatever reason, I let them try as well. Verdict...didn't work on anyone in the family, including myself.

My New Job
- By Indu Shanmugam
- Published 06/2/2007
Indu Shanmugam
Indu Shanmugam is a 20-something, college student from Oregon, USA. She is majoring in English literature and language. She also studied Theology for a short period. She wants to be a teacher. As a literature enthusiast, she enjoys literature of all types and from writers of various backgrounds from the classics, French realists, Christian writings like C.S Lewis and South Asian literature. As for her own writings, "I am still trying to find and develop my own voice." She sees the art of the written word as a way to speak about Christ and explore truth. Before she met Jesus Christ, she has been searching for the meaning of life through experimentation of other religions, philosophies and ideas. At the age of 17, she accepted Christ after a powerful encounter with God through a miracle. God's presence and deep truths in the Bible fuel her creativity. She is involved in church activities and has a love for the church and would like to see every believer grow, become closer to God and live fruitfully. She loves traveling, sipping bubble teas, theatre, music, films and hanging out with friends and has a weakness for cheesecake.
When I am working in a high school, it is different. Often in high schools I am mistaken for a student. One day, I had a teacher stop me in the hallway and ask, "Why aren't you in class?" When I told her who I was, she laughed and said "Don't worry, later in your teaching career you'd look back at this and laugh." Another time, a teacher wondered what I was doing in the staff break room.
* Interestingly, the students don't see me as one of them. They always ask me If I am a student teacher. A 15-year-old asks me how old I am in a conversation. I tell him I am almost 24. His response, "Wow, you don't look that old." Oh, thanks a lot!
* What I like about this job is I get to work at different schools and programs. One day, I'll be doing high school Special Ed. and another day 7th grade ESL. And I can choose when to work. This week I have been working with Special Ed. kids and I really have to say it takes a special person to be a special education teacher. I mean you have to work with kids with all kinds of issues. You have to be emotionally strong.
* Today, I worked in a high school special education class for kids with mild/moderate mental retardation and behavior problems. That teacher I worked under was amazing. I could really tell he cared for those kids. Some people mask a fake pity out of duty or because they feel they have to. But, people can see right through it. True compassion and love cannot be faked easily. Some may miss it at first but eventually when you realize all along how much someone cares about others, it does something to you. I was really inspired by this teacher by observing him and working under him.

A Sad Farewell to Gourmet Magazine
I was very sad to learn that Gourmet Magazine will be closing the doors. The publisher Conde Naste announced on October 5th that November 2009 will be the last issue.
Apparently the casualty of our current down economy and the advertising dropoff that has affected the publishing industry at large. Like so many publications, the magazine has faced tough challenges coping with the Internet and changing consumer behavior.
Gourmet Magazine began in 1941, almost 70 years ago. That makes the magazine the nation's longest running food magazine.
For me, as a passionate food enthusiast, Gourmet Magazine has been an institution. An absolutely beautiful and elegant cooking publication, the magazine stood out above the rest. I will definitely miss Gourmet Magzine.

New Tug Guidelines from Bureau Veritas
International classification society Bureau Veritas has worked closely with the towing industry to develop a set of Guidelines for Design, Construction and Operation of Tugs. The Guidance Note provides safety rules for tugs in an area of marine safety where there are many vessels not covered by international conventions, with no established framework.
Gijsbert de Jong, Bureau Veritas' Business Development Manager for offshore service vessels and tugs said, "Active involvement with industry stakeholders was vital to building these rules. They are pragmatic and they are developed around the latest technical developments with an open mind towards innovation."
Bureau Veritas has worked in close cooperation with several industry leaders, including Robert Allan Ltd, Damen Shipyards, Smit Lamnalco/Smit Towage and Kotug International, building the new framework based on feedback from individuals who having past experience working with the SafeTug JIP.
The rules allow designers and builders to select an operational profile and safely configure the tug accordingly. The requirements cover design loads, stability criteria, strength and operational criteria for towing equipment and anchor equipment. For ships not covered by the SOLAS Convention, a practical safety matrix with requirements for fire safety, life-saving appliances, radio installations and navigation equipment is included which takes into account the familiarity of the crew with the operating area and the availability of shore facilities and emergency assistance.
The limits of the tug's design are clearly stipulated. For harbour and seagoing tugs, the maximum bollard pull will be indicated, while for escort tugs the maximum steering force, braking force and escort speed will be stated.
De Jong said, "Bureau Veritas is the world leader in the classification of tugs, with over 1,650 tugs in class and 300 newbuilding tugs on its order book. That represents a 22 percent market share of IACS-classed tugs. The global market for tugs is changing quickly as ship sizes increase. There are also more offshore terminal operations, broader escort requirements and increased pressure to reduce emissions. One of the issues facing the tug industry is a lack of clear global safety guidelines and rules. BV's new Guidelines for Design, Construction and Operation of Tugs will set a new baseline for all tug builders and operators and help make the whole industry safer and more effective."

Can You See the Ghost?October 14, 2008 2:56 pm Bedtime Stories My Kids Love, Spooky Stuff
This is a car advertisement from Great Britain. When they finished filming the ad, the film editor noticed something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist. They found out that a person had been killed a year earlier in that exact same spot.
The ad was never put on TV because of the unexplained ghostly phenomenon. Watch the front end of the car as it clears the trees in the middle of the screen and you'll see the white mist crossing in front of the car then following it along the road….Spooky!
Is it a ghost, or is it simply mist? You decide. If you listen to the ad, you'll even hear the cameraman whispering in the backgroundabout it near the end of the commercial.
A little creepy but pretty cool!!
Just forgive me, it's Halloween…

We all heard of the scenario. Full disclosure. I went out on a couple dates we her but we never got serious cause she wasn't interested in a relationsip. We had sex once but it was a bit awkward after. Me and her remain good friends. Two years later, now I'm interested in her younger sister. I've made my decision already. think i should cause she wasn't interested in a relationship and right now we have no romantic contact. Its very unfair for her to get jealous... but then again she is a woman.
Guys and girls, what is your take?
- Yes, if all parties can be mature about it.Vote A
- Yes, but keep it a secret for the first few months until the relationship gets seriousVote B
- Yes, but she/he can never find outVote C

Is she jealous or are you assuming she will be? If she wasn't interested and you aren't into her at all then it's fine. I say it's okay only when the relationship never went anywhere. Like if one of y'all say I love you then you never mess with his/her friends/family ever. But in your case you should be good to try but if she does get butt hurt over it then you need to back off. You don't want to mess with sisters relationship.00|00|0
I honestly dunno how shed react. She doesn't seem interested in me but you never know if she may feel bad if i start dating her younger sister. Ps they are both in their 20s with 2 years apart
I see nothing wrong with trying it and seeing where it goes. If she gets upset just state the fact that y'all weren't a couple and she didn't want a relationship. That it's been years since your very short time y'all spent together. She's an adult she should be able to act rationally. But again. If she does get upset leave it alone. Also do you know if the sister likes you because I know I wouldn't want to shag anyone that my sister has. Just because I think its a bit gross and I wouldn't want my sister knowing what my possible future boyfriends penis looks like.

It could work but from what I've seen and heard, it's usually pretty awkward in many ways. For one, there tends to be that one person who's still in love or has an emotional attachment to the other person, even years later. Go for it but be prepared for some awkwardness.00|00|0

Many of the chalets are ski in ski out and are also fully carered yet offering flexible catering for the children such as an early supper. Doorstep ski chalets in La Plagne almost come as standard whilst the others are very close to the skiing.

I etched our initials on a wooden desk;
C & J – to immortalize our love…
and mark this nest!
The next generation will see, that once, there had been…
Two young peas in a pod, playing love's game.
I sit next to you day after day.
You seem shy and awkward,
But I understand that, Mr. J.
I know… you're discrete and subtle
You don't want to be too forward.
I chase you in circles during recess.
You run like the wind;
my feet can't keep up.
You hope to tire me until I give up.
But I'm up for the challenge;
you know I won't stop.
How funny you are;
you make me smile.
Your little quirks…
Your cute works…
At dismissal time…
You hurry outside…
You dash to your mom
Stick yourself to her side.
Aww, how clingy you are!
You find refuge in mommy.
That's good; that's perfect.
That's commendable, honey.
Are you in a hurry to introduce me?
How silly are your ways, really.
Just wait for me, then.
I'll be back in a jiffy.
I'll fix myself first before I face your mommy.
Prep this; prep that.
Oooh! I think I'm pretty and ready.
But before I could say a word…
Dear J, you're gone!
Have you gone home already?

It came in a cute little gift box with a gift tag already attached which makes it perfect to gift to someone. Inside the gift box was an outfit and a cute little toy. The outfit was a nice quality long sleeved onsie with squirrels, hedghogs, fox and raccoons on it. It is a nice tan color and is accented with orange on the cuffs, neckline an around the legs. It is super cute and very soft. I got a 12 month one since my son is a large 10 month old and it fit great. The toy is a super cute knitted fox. It rattles and is super cute. My son just loves it! It is extremely well made and adorable. I love that this gift set is non-toxic, eco-friendly and completely organic.

If you want to learn how to play the guitar, there are tons of options out there. If you want to do it without a teacher, and if you aren't willing to spend a ton of money to learn how to play, then Coach Guitar is one app you should definitely give a shot. The app features a lot of free lessons, and if you finish those and see that you're getting better, there are paid lessons you can apply to as well.
After checking out the app the first thing that came to my mind was that it's good that you have five different songs you can learn for free before you pay for other lessons. That way, you can see if Coach Guitar's lessons fit your learning style, and move on from there. If you want to buy a specific song, you can do it via an in-app purchase worth $3.99 – just about as much as the song itself on iTunes, but instead of just listening to it you will be taught how to play the song on guitar – how was the old saying about teaching a man how to fish?
And the app itself, as well as the lessons, is easy to follow and pretty effective. I don't know much about playing the guitar, but I was able to play along – and I can now play part of "Wake me up when September ends" all on my own, which I consider a victory!
So if you want to start learning how to play the guitar, make sure you check out Coach Guitar!

ST. LOUIS - Michael Morse has been playing baseball for the bulk of his 30 years on this earth. I think it's fair to say he's never seen anything like what we saw in the first inning of tonight's game, when Morse needed to run the bases backwards and then essentially hit a grand slam without a bat in his hands.
"I think anybody (has)," Morse said with a smile. "That was something different."
If you haven't seen the clip of Morse's grand slam, do yourself a favor and check it out now. The Nationals' left fielder hit a ball that went just over the fence in right field, but the umpires ruled the ball was still in play as it kicked back onto the field.
He was tagged out as he tried to dive back into first base, then was awarded a home run when replay confirmed the ball left the yard, then had to trot backwards from second base back to home because the umps wanted to make sure all four Nationals on base touched the bags in the proper order.
"I wasn't sure what to do, so I ran back and touched all the bases," Morse said. "Then I got to first, and they're like, 'Go back to the batter's box.' I'm like, 'What do you want me to do?' "
Once Morse got back to the plate, he still had no idea of the proper protocol.
"So I look over to the dugout, everybody's telling me to swing," Morse continued. "I'm like, 'No, I'm not going to swing.' (Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina) was like, 'Swing.' I was like, 'All right!' So I swung, and it was pretty cool. It felt like spring training or something. It felt like a drill.
"I wasn't going to do it at all, but it was just such a crazy moment. Might as well have some fun with it."
It was a wild scene, all right.
It could be a wild scene here at Busch Stadium tomorrow if the Nats win, locking up the division title. They could have done so tonight, but the Braves beat the Mets, drawing out the action another day. The Nats were well aware of the result in Atlanta, thanks to the out-of-town scoreboard plastered above the bullpen in right field.
"We were probably watching that more than the game," reliever Craig Stammen said with a laugh. "We were rooting for people, we were complaining that nobody's getting a hit, all kinds of stuff. We were wondering how Mike Minor's throwing a complete-game and whatever. That's what we do in the bullpen."
They would've loved to have finished it off tonight, but the Nats admit that it's a great feeling knowing that after all they've been through this season, if they show up tomorrow and pick up just one more win, they're NL East champs.
"It's huge," reliever Drew Storen said. "It's ours to take tomorrow. We're going to lace it up and try to get it done."
"It's always a good feeling: Win and you're in," Stammen said. "We always want it to be left up to us. I think for the last four games, it's up to us to get a victory. We're not counting on the Braves to lose at all. And when we celebrate, we want to do it after a victory, anyway."

Handbook on the Economic Complexity of Technological Change
Edited by Cristiano Antonelli
Chapter 4: The Persistence of Innovation and Path Dependence
Alessandra Colombelli and Nick von Tunzelmann
Alessandra Colombelli and Nick von Tunzelmann 1. INTRODUCTION The persistence of innovation has been the subject of a recent body of literature. Most of the contributions consist of empirical analyses carried out with time series tools or transition matrixes. The theoretical underpinnings of this approach lie in the concepts of cumulativeness and technological learning. However this literature fails to grasp the systemic character of persistent processes. In this chapter we develop an integrated framework able to graft the persistence of innovation within a complex dynamic framework. We therefore try to establish a link between persistence and path dependence by putting particular emphasis on the dynamics of local attractors. In particular we focus on innovation considered as a dynamic process characterized by persistence and path dependence. More precisely, we develop the kinds of local attractors that distinctively create persistent and path dependent processes of technological change. The rationale behind our study is the understanding of innovation processes, organizational change, growth, and systemic dynamics. In our approach, the generation of new knowledge and the introduction of innovation are the results of cumulative patterns and learning dynamics. This pattern of technological accumulation is at the base of the persistence of innovation. This means that current innovation is explained by past innovation and, thus, innovation has enduring effects as a result of knowledge cumulability and learning processes. We also retain that innovation persistence is path dependent as opposed to past dependent. While past dependent processes are fully determined by the initial conditions, path dependent...

FZ200 - moving objects
Jan 18, 2013
I went to the store to check the FZ200 after reading some many good reviews about it, mainly about those 2.8 across lenses, I tried it and I liked the feel and burst modes, but something I kept trying (along with the store clerk who was pretty helpful), was just to take pictures of people who were passing by walking, most of them rushing somewhere as it was at the end of the lunch time, and I couldn't get a single one without being blurry, even if I was trying to get the picture with the shutter pre-holded, am I missing something, or just ultra-zoomers like the FZ200 are not for this type of photography?
