SeabuckWonders Natural Skin Care Products
Description: The wait is over. SeabuckWonders' personal care product line is here. And it's packed with a high concentration of sea buckthorn oil for maximum results. That means healthier, softer and more beautiful skin for all those who add these products to their daily routine. Unlike many Sea buckthorn products in the marketplace, SeabuckWonders believes quality AND quantity are both important. Because Sea Buckthorn is expensive, many manufacturers provide skin care products with little to no sea buckthorn to minimize their costs. At SeabuckWonders, we focus on maximizing the benefits of our products and therefore, provide a high concentration of sea buckthorn oil in ALL of our personal care products. It's a simple formula: More sea buckthorn = more health and beauty benefits. And you can even see the difference. Because our skin care products contain a higher dose of sea buckthorn, you'll notice a bright, yellow-orange glow—a mirror reflection of the sea buckthorn berry's natural vibrant color. This intense concentration of sea buckthorn makes SeabuckWonders the superior product line for skin healing and beauty enhancement.

There are two kinds of moms who breastfeed in public -- those who cover up and those who don't. Doesn't matter what way you choose to nurse your baby in public, of course, but my point is not every mom should be forced to cover up if it doesn't work for her ... or her baby. And every mother should have the right to feed her baby wherever and whenever baby is hungry.
Luvs, yes makers of diapers, did the incredible and featured a breastfeeding mom in a new commercial. It's funny, relatable, does that whole 'first kid/second kid' comparison, and makes a statement whether they intended to or not in defense of breastfeeding moms. Check it out.
Did you notice how the actor as a first-time mom breastfeeding her baby in the restaurant actually sticks out more with that big white blanket over her? She's uncomfortable and seems nervous trying to hide behind a plant. This is very much how many of us feel as a first-time mom trying to nurse baby in public. Especially knowing how most people think you should hide in the bathroom to do it.
But after the second baby, the mama is at ease. She even jokes to the waiter that her baby already ordered (breastmilk!) after she tells him, Eyes up here, buddy.
More from The Stir: Breastfeeding Mom Can't Pump at Work Because It's 'Disgusting'
I was a first-time and second-time mom just minutes apart -- I had twins. And I remember those early days of being worried that someone would see a baby at my breast while I was nursing in public and think it was obscene. But after a few months of fussy babies not liking being under covers while eating and worrying where my hooter hider was every time I left the house, I stopped concerning myself with all that and focused on feeding my kids whenever I had to. Because it's really not a big deal. Moms don't get naked to do it. And nipples aren't there on full display when kids nurse either. This Luvs commercial rings so true -- this is what it looks like when a mom breastfeeding in public. Nothing obscene about it.
Well, okay, maybe the commercial stretched the scenario a little bit. If they wanted to make it even more real, the toddler wouldn't have been so well behaved.
Great job, Luvs. And thank you!
What do you think of the commercial?

Fast Food Chain Pulls Free CD Over 'So Horny' Lyrics
Wendy's was forced to stop giving out a free disco CD with their kids meals after parents complained about the lyrics to Donna Summer's "Last Dance." Specifically, the part of the lyrics where Donna sings, "I'm so horny."
Wendy's, which is a communist-type eating establishment featuring European/socialist "square" hamburgers, is now trying to indoctrinate the youth of America with their sickening "disco music" and "horniness," giving away a free CD where Donna Summer, Godless Queen of Disco Sodomy, says the following sinful thing: "I'm so horny." Disgusting.
See, there's the "clean" version of "Last Dance," where she sings, "I'm so bad." And then there's the "dirty" version, where she sings "I'm so horny." And if children heard the word horny, well... There's literally no telling what might happen. Here's the "clean" version, where she uses the word "bad" to mean almost the exact same thing as the word "horny," but where it's clearly more appropriate, for complicated reasons that I can't possible explain right now:
Wendy's is no longer giving out the disco CD. You can still get "Totally 80's" or "Motown for Kids," because there is literally no sexual innuendo of any kind in Motown songs or pop music from the 1980s.
And because you can't just post one Donna Summer video, here's "State of Independence," written by Vangelis. It's probably, what, one of the ten greatest songs of all time?

Or pay taxes?
So the police got her credit card information?
No, but if you don't like Mike's coverage of something, go start your own blog. It's rather "Tardian" of you to come here and complain because you don't like what he's covering.
I wonder if they could sue a hooker with a team tat...they could argue that it was used in commerce.
You have my permission to copy my money to your heart's content. ;)
No, piracy is saying "I deserve to be able to rob those people on that ship." I think you meant to say "[C]opyright infringement is saying.."
Naw, let em stay. The do provide comic relief. ;)
I don't think it ever showed up in the first place.
We'll wait on you. Hope it goes well.
Then stop doing it for free since you're a part of AOL. You're not retroactively entitled to anything for doing what you agreed to do at the price you agreed to do it for. I'm not sure why you would even think you would be.
Theft is a criminal offense. The most that this is would be a violation of TOS, which is NOT a criminal offense. Finite and infinite don't matter because if I have unlimited bandwidth, then it's unlimited; there's no way for me to take more bandwidth than I paid for. Since I paid for it, there cannot be any theft.
To me, it screams of a band getting called out on their excuse for not 'making it big.' Rather than simply admit, "No, we're not selling any music because we suck," they opted to blame the boogeyman for it. Things would have been fine, except someone poked around and found out the boogeyman didn't even know who these guys were.
"Now the stock answer from the TechDirt echo chamber is: gosh, I want to be pirated because I know that somehow, some way other money will finds its way into my pocket."
As opposed to selling something to nobody and no money finding it's way into your pocket?
If you think that point of this article was that you can't succeed without be being pirated or only those who are pirated can succeed, then you need to stop, take a break and try rereading it. (SPOILER: It's not.)
"I knew the paywall was misguided, but they spent that much on it? OMG. I'm a web developer, and I could have set up something that doesn't work for MUCH less than that!"
Hell, I could set up something that is easier to get around and cost MORE. If they're willing to pay $40 million for what they got, I'm sure I could sell them a paywall (for about $50 million or so) that turns itself off.
Am I the only one wondering who Taylor Swift is?
I once pirated a rectum so bad, a lawyer had to get a real job?
Maybe I'm in the wrong article...
Mike, once again you've missed the point. Trademarking descriptive words and phrases has everything to do with preventing consumer confusion. The fewer companies that consumers have to choose from, the less confusion consumers will have. Really, these companies are doing the consumers a great service by winnowing down the choices they have to worry about. Less choices are really what people want.
You should have followed the doc's advice and gotten that rabies shot.
"First, it was dumb of the nytimes to make a dollar figure public. They should have recognized it would open them to ridicule."
I tend to agree with you, but the execs probably thought the amount would show their "seriousness" about it or something like that.
Scope tsunami is more like it.

In late May, Mitt Romney, on the verge of officially clinching the Republican presidential nomination, held a rally in Las Vegas.
"I was speaking with one of these business owners who owns a couple of restaurants in town," said the future GOP standard-bearer . "And he said, 'You know, I'd like to change the Constitution. I'm not sure I can do it. I'd like to have a provision in the Constitution that in addition to the age of the president and the citizenship of the president and the birthplace of the president being set by the Constitution, I'd like it also to say that the president has to spend at least three years working in business before he could become president of the United States.'
"You see, then he or she would understand that the policies they're putting in place have to encourage small business, make it easier for business to grow," Romney went on. "They'd understand that if they say something negative about Las Vegas it means that businesses and government agencies aren't going to come here. And that would mean that people who have jobs in hotels will lose those jobs."
Watch the video (courtesy Buzzfeed ) here:
Setting aside Romney's rather bold move, in the wake of the then-burgeoning General Services Administration conference spending scandal, of criticizing the Obama administration for at one time having discouraged agencies from holding events in Vegas , his remarks were telling in another way. They emphasized the lengths Romney has gone in this year's campaign to emphasize his business credentials.
Romney has a fairly long record of public service, dating from his efforts to salvage the 2002 Winter Olympics to his tenure as Massachusetts governor. He has a track record to run on that includes a series of impressive accomplishments as a government leader. But rather than tout such successes, Romney has put almost all of the focus on his business credentials.
Indeed, when Romney introduced House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his running mate Saturday, Ryan emphasized that his role was to provide balance to the ticket. He said his "record of getting things done in Congress will be a very helpful complement to Governor Romney's executive and private sector success outside Washington." (Wags pointed out that the constitutional amendment Romney enthusiastically endorsed in May would bar Ryan from the presidency, however.)
Romney and Ryan may tout different types of experience on the campaign trail, but they have a common philosophy. Both are strong advocates for a much smaller federal government, and have been among the more vociferous critics of federal employee pay and benefits. In April, Romney pointedly lamented the "unfairness" of what he characterizes as high pay for government workers relative to those in the private sector. A month earlier, Ryan had unveiled a budget plan for fiscal 2013 that would cut the federal workforce by 10 percent, extend the federal pay freeze through 2015 and increase employee contributions to their retirement plans.
Of course, many Republicans have made a strong case for slashing government and scaling back pay and benefits for federal employees. But Romney and Ryan are the only ones now running to head up a government staffed by these workers. That may lead them to political victory, but may make it very difficult them to implement their initiatives as the men in charge of Government, Inc.

Space Heaters for Home Use
Space heaters are a convenient way to warm a small space. While space heaters should never be used as a home's primary source of heat, they can provide supplemental heat in cool areas.
Choosing a Product
When shopping for space heaters, check to see that the heater meets independent criteria for quality and functionality as demonstrated by certification to NSF Protocol P412: Space Heaters for Home Use. Heaters certified under this protocol have been verified to meet strict standards for product design, construction, materials and operation. As part of its Home Product Certification Program, NSF also verifies product marketing and label claims as well as compliance with other regulatory requirements. Space heaters certified to this protocol are eligible to display the NSF Certified for Home Use mark.
In addition to looking for certification, read the label to confirm you are purchasing a heater that is designed for interior home use and that doesn't require any special venting. Most space heaters on the market today intended for home are electric, which also includes quartz, liquid filled, ceramic and fan forced space heaters.
Using a Space Heater
Before using a space heater for the first time, review the unit's operations manual to make sure you understand how to safely operate the appliance. Make sure to carefully remove all packaging materials before use to avoid the chance of fire.
Select an appropriate location for your space heater away from areas with frequent foot traffic and combustible materials. Only use space heaters as a supplemental source of heat and avoid using extension cords unless absolutely necessary. Don't use space heaters in bathrooms or other damp areas unless specifically rated for use in wet areas.
Cleaning a Space Heater
Check your owner's manual for recommended cleaning instructions and always unplug the heater and let it cool before attempting to clean.

Yesterday, I shared a tutorial on making a cake plate out of a pie tin. Today I thought it might be fun to show you more DIY elements from the Nautical 1st Birthday theme I styled for Bird's Party Magazine. I love a good DIY project, so I tackled making the gold cake plates, cake, high chair captain's wheel, peg dolls, a gold number one, and some monkey fist nautical knots.

Procrastinating Christmas shoppers have a new option for thie last minute gift buying this year.
Macy's has announced it will be open for 48 straight hours the weekend before Christmas. If you haven't looked at the calendar lately, that is this weekend.
You may remember Black Friday sales started on Thanksgiving Thursday this year, and now Macy's is offering to stay open overnight in hopes of taking in even more retail dollars.
Marketing expert Bernhard Schroeder from San Diego State said this move for a non-stop shopping weekend may give Macy's an edge. And is bound to get the attention of other retail competitors.
"While there is one part of me that says, 'Wow, what is our society heading into?' the marketing side of me says, 'Game on.'"
Shoppers gave a mixed response when asked if they would make purchases in the middle of the night.
"No, I'll be asleep at that time," said one shopper.
Another said she'd take advantage of the unusual time.
"If there's less people out, why not?" said another shopper.
It could help Macy's compete against online retailers, according to Schroeder.
Macy's hopes they can create a sort of Black Friday buzz for bargain shoppers and procrastinators. But the question still remains: Who will end up shopping in the middle of the night?

The One Where Navi Wrote Me A Poem
I have to admit, 2013 is off to an amazing start for me. Especially surrounding everything Azeroth. I've been having such positive experiences this year – everything from joining a new guild, catching up on achievements, having friends from the community send me pets, having friends willing to roll alts to help me create my very first banking guild, running old content with some of my favorite people in my little horde guild, winning a free mount from a blog contest and so many more awesome things. I have met so many new people from the community, but more than that I've stopped being a silent lurker and have actually come out of my shell a bit to "meet" people I've been following and have been aware of for a long time now.
One of those people who I had been silently lurking around is Navimie from The Daily Frostwolf. But that has all changed this year as I was lucky enough to get asked to participate in the secret gift for Navi last month and then a few days later I was lucky enough to get Navispammed by surprise. It's been great actually having interaction with Navi and I'm glad we've officially started talking. Especially since if we had never started talking, I would have not had the good fortune of receiving an email from Navi yesterday morning that made my day. She has apparently been busy writing little personalized poems and I was thrilled to discover she had written one for me. I knew I had to write a post and share it with you guys because it's so brilliant and adorable.
So without further ado, I present to you my poem from Navi:
I said it once, I'll say it twice
'bout how alike are we
In blogging and our game playing
And even clothes, I see!
It wasn't a surprise to hear
A fan gave you a pet!
I only wish I'd thought of that –
So glad that we have met 🙂
❤ Navimie

In a moment of self loathing i signed up for runforyourlives.com -5k obstacle course with zombies. top scientists have discovered that gravity has a stronger hold on me than on regular folks making me a slow runner and an even worse jumper. I've got a lot of experience with preparing and competing in wrestling & grappling tournaments, long haul bike tours, mtn bike races but I've never done anything close to this, so I'm pretty clueless on what to expect in terms of the actual race, preparation, diet, gear. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
In addition to grappling and/or mtn biking daily, I've started running 1.5 miles of stairs with some sprints mixed in, box jumps and skippin rope. what else should I get workin on to be prepared?

Voodoo, Blues, and Wandering after the Great Flood
This first novel by an Asian-American has already created a lot of buzz. First, it has an intriguing topic: Mississippi after the great flood of 1927. Secondly: the main characters are compelling--they are very poor African-Americans under the yoke of the white inhabitants. Finally, it shows exquisite writing. William Ferris said, "Bill Cheng embraces the region's 1927 flood, voodoo, blues, and race with breathtakingly beautiful prose."
Southern Cross the Dog starts with a group of black children playing "Little Sally Water" in the rain—the rain that caused the great flood. Soon the story focuses on the character of Robert, the second born child of Etta and Ellis. Before long, you discover that his family has just suffered an immense tragedy. White vigilantes had hung the oldest son Billy for loving a white girl.
Bill Cheng captures the chaos and hardship after the flood. Dead bodies floated past. Men with boats offered rides but also stole the food and valuable keepsakes of the displaced families. Robert's family began this journey together, but ended up in a refugee camp. Because Etta has lost her mind over Billy's death, she needs constant care. Ellis makes a difficult decision: to send young Robert off with someone to work in another town. Ellis thinks this is the only way all three of them will survive but he mistakenly does not tell his son why he is sending him away.
Thus begins Robert's odyssey through a state ravaged by not only by a flood but also by great poverty, hatred, and racism. He works at a whorehouse doing chores where he befriends a great bluesman who has just been released from jail so he can make an alcoholic entrepreneur rich. He works as a laborer on the great dam that will prevent more floods. Everywhere Robert goes he feels haunted and obsessed by his past. During the dam-building, he becomes an explosive expert, taking more and more chances. When a piece of expensive equipment becomes untethered and floats away in the river's current, he dives in after it. Later, a Cajun trapper family rescues him. But Robert 's demons always force him to wander.
It's almost as though he is trying to kill himself, but never deliberately so. The bluesman has given him a small flannel bag to wear around his neck to protect him.
This book, rich in believable characters--many cruel, a few very kind--is a terrific read that teaches you a lot about humanity.
If this book spurs your interest in the famous flood depicted here, read David Welky's The Thousand-Year Flood.

NORTH HALEDON — A borough in Passaic County has begun a formal inquiry into the personal use of borough generators following Superstorm Sandy by both the mayor and the police chief of North Haledon.
An investigative committee of the Borough Council took testimony Monday night behind closed doors from Mayor Randy George. NorthJersey.com says George refused to comment afterward.
George and Police chief Robert Bracco have both acknowledged publicly using borough equipment — the mayor at his ice cream parlor and the chief at his home in Wayne. Both said they changed their minds and returned the equipment the next day.
The council is seeking to determine if any borough ordinances were violated. The date for the next hearing was not immediately set.
The committee probe is independent of a criminal investigation also under way.

The Crisper Whisperer: 5 Veggie-Packed Frittatas to Start Your Winter Mornings Right
Cook through your crisper surplus with ease.
[Photograph: Carolyn Cope]
The frittata is the Oprah of the scrambled egg world. Compared to the dainty French omelet and the high-maintenance double-boiler scrambled egg, a frittata is strong, unfussy, and forgiving. Whether you're a sun-dried tomato or a handful of chopped, frozen spinach, the frittata will accept you as you are. It will welcome you into its warm embrace. With or without millions of daily viewers, a frittata for breakfast—especially one filled with way too many vegetables—will raise you up and make you feel great about yourself (and maybe better than you used to about John Travolta, too).
Speaking of the wisdom of the masses, have you heard the one about the value of a protein- and fiber-filled breakfast? As long as it's whole foods we're talking about, I'd be willing to shout that truth from the rooftops. You'd probably hear me no matter where you are, what with all the extra energy and vibrance I'd have as a result of eating a protein- and fiber-filled breakfast. Any old frittata would serve you well on the protein front, but these five—and many others you could make using lots and lots of vegetables—will also ensure that you're well on your way to your nine a day even before the day gets rolling.
In 2009, Mark Bittman wrote a Minimalist about upping the ratio of vegetables to eggs in a frittata, because it makes more sense nutritionally and tastes mighty fine as well. I remember thinking, well, duh. I always do that when I'm cooking for myself and not feeding a crowd that has certain ideas of what a frittata should be.
I've since realized, of course, that Bittman was playing the same role there that he often does for many of us who know and care a lot about good food. He was making it socially acceptable to do in public the things we already know we ought to be doing. So maybe it's thanks to Bittman that I'd now be willing to shout from the rooftops, too: add more vegetables to your morning (or afternoon, or dinnertime) frittata!
Here are five easy and delicious ways to do it, some more purely virtuous than others. If you don't have the bandwidth for cooking in the morning, you can make one (or double up in a bigger pan) the night before and keep it in the fridge for a few days.
The Method
For a frittata that serves one, in a small bowl, beat two eggs and a pinch of salt with a fork until homogenized. Add a splash of olive oil or a small knob of good butter to an 8-inch well-seasoned cast-iron or non-stick pan. Heat over medium heat. Then:
1. Spinach, Shiitake, and Onion
Sauté half a finely diced onion and a cup of sliced shiitakes until tender, about five minutes. Add a cup of chopped frozen spinach (straight from the freezer is okay if you cook off any water that accumulates in the pan) or two to three cups of fresh baby spinach and cook until wilted and warmed through.
Pour in the eggs, reduce the heat to low, and cook until just set. With this and all the frittatas, you can cover the pan with a lid or run it briefly under the broiler if the top remains stubbornly runny.
2. Leek, Frisee, and Bacon (pictured)
Omit the oil or butter. Chop up a slice or two of good, thick bacon and cook in the pan until crisp. Drain the cooked bacon on a paper towel. Pour off all but a couple of teaspoons of the fat from the pan. Add the thinly sliced white and light-green parts of a whole leek and cook until tender, about five minutes. Add two cups of torn-up frisee and cook until wilted. Add the bacon back to the pan, then add the eggs, reduce heat to low, and cook until just set.
3. Broccoli, Basil, Sundried Tomato, and Parmesan
Use two cups of small steamed broccoli florets or a cup and a half of chopped frozen broccoli. Add the broccoli and a couple of chopped sundried tomatoes to the pan, pour in the eggs, top with half a cup of torn-up fresh basil leaves and some shavings of good parmesan cheese. Reduce the heat to low, and cook until the eggs are just set.
4. Potato, Kale, and Onion with Pimenton
Cook until tender half an onion, thinly sliced, and the thinnest slices you can make from one small boiling potato (no real need to peel unless you're feeling fussy). Add two cups of thinly sliced ribbons of lacinato kale and cook until wilted. Add the eggs, along with a sprinkle of smoked paprika, reduce heat to low, and cook until just set.
5. Red Cabbage, Jalapeno, Cilantro, and Cotija
Mince as much fresh jalapeno as you like and add to the pan along with the two cups of shredded red cabbage. Cook until just tender. Pour in the eggs, top with some chopped cilantro and a bit of crumbled cotija cheese. Reduce heat to low, and cook until just set.
