I recently dyed it a light ash brown all over and here's what it looks like. I have some old highlights trying to creep through. Today, I have decided I hate my hair dead straight, and the colour needs to be either lighter or darker... Ideas are welcome!
And sometimes I have moments when I am sure. I love pink lips and I can trust it to look good all the time. I love "Ambre Rose" color sensational lipstick by Maybelline, it's a pale pink with a slight gold pearl, I wear it quite often on it's own but love topping it off with a pink lipgloss.

@Tugba Not much, I used Belle colours permanent hair dye in light ash brown, it always lightens my hair, I used to use it when I was younger. My hair actually lightens really easily... I'm sure they would do a good job in turkey as they understand our hair... but they tend to do whatever they like :)

Your hair looks beautiful, as well as that lip combo. I feel the same way too about my hair at the moment; I want to have it cut, but the next minute I want to grow it long. I want to have it straightened again, but I want to keep it curled too. I want to dye my hair a lighter colour, at the same time I want to keep it black! Sounds really crazy, but I'm happy I'm not the only one :)

Im exactly the same! Where colour is concerned anyway.. I don't have the option for straight OR curly (not without help anyway!)
I tend to dye my hair with L'Oreal Ash Blonde.. Then I end up thinking it needs to be lighter, then when it is lighter I want it darker! I get bored of the upkeep (ie having to apply fake tan all the time to avoid looking washed out!).. Then I go darker and like it for a little while, then end up wishing Id not messed with it, or had gone just a bit darker rather than full on dark brown!
I guess Im just never happy and deep down have no idea what really suits me! lol
For what its worth I think you look more sunkissed/Summery lighter, but more exotic darker :)

Ohhh your hair is a gorgeous colour, looks nice and sunkissed : ) I'm thinking of going lighter for the summer. I've always been too scared to try it myself at home but now i've seen your hair i'm thinking twice.. Did you use only the ash brown or one of those pre lightener thingy's first ?? Pamela xxx

You are exactly like me... i never am 100% happy with my hair and i wish it wasnt straight. Id kill for some waves! :( Mine never last when i plait my hair.
Lighter or darker im sure youll look fab.. although it is tempting to say go rich mid brown so that you can wear sparkly gold accessories!! hehe
- 28 April 2010 at 17:18
- Tugba said...
Muhsine :D I am now soooo tempted to go and get that colour to give it a try :D Just worried it wont work on my hair and I will ruin it :( But it looks sooo nice on your hair. Im busy with exams at the moment but after that I will have a look for the colour :D
- 28 April 2010 at 17:32

Plumful by Mac - it really makes my blue eyes POP! Their lipsticks are fabulous.
- 28 April 2010 at 17:54
You hair always looks beautiful! My fav pink lippie is Dior in 664. Gorgeous!

- Muhsine said...
Love reading your comments, you girls are the best!
@Nikky and Livia wow I never knew most of you felt the same way, don't even get me started on the length of my hair :), currently I hate everything about it. Ughh! Watch this space, god knows what i will do next :) xx
@Hoatsey no I dyed it staright up, no pre lightening. x
@Tali omg don't tempt me, I love dark hair!! xx
@Tugba when you first dye it it's not as light, it looks kind of a medium brown, but after a few washes it gets lighter and when you use heat that speeds the lightening process up, it should work on any hair, but don't quote me! Good luck X

o is Ambre rose part of the Maybelline color sensational collection?? I need this lol I'm a sucker for pink lipsticks.
- 28 April 2010 at 18:50
- Muhsine said...
@Diana yes it is xx
- 28 April 2010 at 18:57
- Sara said...
Hey doll! I adore you with medium to dark hair, I think it compliments your skintone very well. I think you good with lighter hair too but Ive always personally been a fan of darker hair, especially with olive skin! Just looks gorgeous! As far as styling goes, you look wonderful 3with both straight and curly. I think its nice to be able to switch up with those two options, I wouldn't want to just stick with just one. Pinks def. fit you well too!
I hope you can find something that works for you and that you just adore!
- 28 April 2010 at 19:14
Wow! I love the hair colour :)
I think you should get some highlights in dark and light so your hairs all different shades of that brown :) x

I'm always unsure about a lot of things... lol. Loving the lip combo!
- 28 April 2010 at 21:07
Ok, first of all, you're nuts! haha.
Your hair is completely stunning--all the time, no matter what! It looks amazing in that picture! The color, the straightness, everything about it.
And you look great in any color!
- 28 April 2010 at 21:24
- glamour rouge said...
OMG Im the same right now..im thinking highlights and then I see someone with dark hair and I want it back! I really liked the colour you had in an old post with extensions..I think it might be the colour u have now lol!

that gloss is gorgeous and i love your hair! I think your haircolor is just perfect :)
- 29 April 2010 at 01:53
- WillWorkForMakeup said...
My favorite pink lipstick is MAC Angel. It always looks good regardless of what my eye makeup looks like!
I love that lip combo on you, by the way =)
I think you should dye your hair a deep chocolate brown! I really think it would look amazing with your skintone!
- 29 April 2010 at 22:13
- tina_mbc said...
Ah, aren't we all a little hair-indecisive...?
Although I love the exact shade your hair is atm and the fact that the old highlights are peeking through (looks SO natural), you could perhaps go a tone darker...? I mean, with summer round the corner, it's bound to get just a tad lighter anyways...
- 30 April 2010 at 02:53
- libbeh ♥ said...
I think you're pretty either way, with dark or lighter hair. I personally like light ash brown hair, but because of my Asian genes, when I lift my dark brown hair, I end up with yucky brassy hair color. I've only achieved light brown/sandy blonde hair once, but the upkeep was too expensive and my hair was so damaged by the end, I decided it's best for my hair and wallet to stay au naturale. Good luck with finding the happy medium! :)

- Richa said...
I normally hate my hair flat. I like for it to have some volume. So i blow dry and then straighten out on lighter heat and bigger chunks when the blow drying doesn't do the job. I think your hair color is great. I'm trying to go that light. But I'm doing it slowly. Don't want extreme hair damage.

The City Hall is probably Stockholm's most photographed building. The building is especially photogenic during sunset when the silhouette stands out against the pink sky. The City Hall is filled with precious tapestries, paintings, gold-plated chandeliers and brass doors. Visitors are welcome throughout the year, however in December, the building hosts the lavish Nobel Banquet only for special guests.
The Blue Hall is not actually blue at all. When architect Ragnar Östberg walked into the hall during the construction, he noticed how the sunlight hit the high brick walls and decided to leave the red bricks exposed rather than paint the room blue. The Blue Hall, designed as an Italian Renaissance square, is the most famous hall thanks to the Nobel dinner. The Golden Hall is, however, far more impressive: the history of Sweden is depicted by more than 18 million gold-plated mosaic tiles that twinkle and sparkle in the light.
"The Council Chamber resembles a longhouse from the Viking era"
Stockholm's City Hall is first and foremost a working city hall with 200 offices for civil servants and a Council Chamber. But the Council Chamber is hardly your run-of-the-mill meeting room: furnished with wood, wonderful wall decorations and exposed beams, the space resembles a Viking longhouse where the tribal leaders used to gather. Other City Hall highlights include the largest organ in Northern Europe with 10,000 pipes in the Blue Hall, and the Golden Hall's huge mosaic of the 'Queen of Lake Mälaren' (Stockholm's old nickname). Climb to the top of the 106-metre-high tower – crowned by the Golden Tre Kronor, Sweden's heraldic symbol – for a spectacular view of Stockholm's 14 islands.
Marie Curie started dinner with turtle broth, Winston Churchill feasted on venison roast with mashed chestnuts, and Pablo Neruda polished off a soufflé glacé dessert with Grand Marnier. The chef who prepares the annual Nobel banquet for 1,300 guests works in the Stadshuskällaren restaurant. Here you can sample something from every Nobel menu since 1901 and everything is served on official Nobel tableware. The restaurant in the vaulted cellar underneath the City Hall also prepares classic Swedish dishes with a contemporary twist.

Interbike 2010: Latest CamelBak and Hydrapak hydration packs
New models and redesigns for 2011
CamelBak have redesigned nearly their entire bicycle hydration pack lineup for 2011, with some models getting updated styling while others get wholesale reworks – plus there are several all-new options, too.
Leading the way is the new Charge duo, featuring lightweight materials and more minimal unpadded mesh straps to cater to cross-country riders looking to shed every possible gram.
The top-end Charge 450 is the larger of the two with a 3L reservoir matched to 12.5L of cargo capacity – the same as the company's popular MULE but at two-thirds the mass, with a claimed empty weight of just 450g.
Pocket layout is very similar to the MULE, with a capacious main compartment, a protected media pouch up top and a flip-down outer area ideal for mini-pumps, tools and energy bars. Stretch pockets on the webbed waist belt provide quick access for other items, too.
Gone is the MULE's exaggerated padded back panel, though, in favour of a more minimal Lightweight Exoskeleton raised EVA pattern to help air pass through. Also, the MULE's foldout catchall that was just big enough for a helmet has been jettisoned as well.
The new CamelBak Charge 450 has the same capacity as Camelbak's classic MULE but at just two-thirds of the weight
For shorter rides there's the smaller Charge 240 with a 2L reservoir and a far more streamlined 1.5L cargo capacity. Claimed weight is – you guessed it – just 240g without the included reservoir.
All-new for 2011 is the intriguing Octane LR, which relocates its 2L of fluid down around your waist. We tried it during the Outdoor Demo portion of Interbike and while the sensation is unusual at first, what we noticed later was the pack's unwavering stability even when applying a lot of body English.
The CamelBak Octane LR places its 2L reservoir down around your hips, where the load is more stable and less likely to shift around during technical manoeuvres
Meanwhile, the iconic MULE is wholly overhauled with a cargo capacity bump to 12.5L and a slightly tapered shape. Riders looking for more airflow than the MULE's standard Air Director back panel can still opt for the MULE NV's more advanced NVIS articulated design and handy waist belt pockets. Cargo capacity on the NV has jumped to 8.52L and both packs include 3L reservoirs.
All-day jaunts requiring more gear are the revised HAWG NV's mission with a larger 19Lcapacity – up from 18L in 2010 – and newly tapered shape that sits more naturally on your torso and repositions more of the weight down low. Some of the added room comes courtesy of a pair of zippered side pods that are perfectly sized for energy bars.
The workhorse CamelBak HAWG sports a more tapered shape for 2011 and a slightly reduced capacity
Hidden inside all of CamelBak's 2011 packs is the vastly improved Antidote reservoir, which includes a larger quarter-turn cap that's easier to operate and can't be overtightened, a baffled design that sits flatter when full, integrated flip-out arms that hold the bladder open for faster drying, and a quick-release hose connection that also allows for an inline water filter.
Hydrapak step up their game
Hydration pack rivals Hydrapak have long kept to the lightweight construction theme, with durable-yet-minimal ripstop nylon construction and intentionally basic back panel constructions over their entire range. As a result, Hydrapak packs tend to feel a bit more unstructured than CamelBaks but the upside is generally less mass to lug around and a more form-fitting feel on the bike.
Sitting at the top of the range is the Pro Series collection, with heavily padded and anatomically shaped shoulder straps, 3L reservoirs and a ventilated foam back panel to help even out heavy loads.
The Morro is Hydrapak's top-end do-all pack, built with lightweight ripstop nylon and offering up to 13.1L of storage in a multitude of compartments
The Morro is the smaller of the two options with 13.1L of gear storage spread across a large main compartment, a lower tool pouch, a media sleeve, and two zipped side areas big enough to hold water bottles. Four compression straps help keep everything cinched down. The larger Jolla boasts a similar overall layout to the Morro but moves the tool organiser inside and bumps up total storage capacity to a whopping 18L.
For shorter jaunts there's the race-oriented Avila, with just 2L of fluid capacity and just enough room for a windshell and some food, and the slightly larger Soquel with 4L of gear storage. Stepping up to the Reyes, Big Sur or Laguna models nets you another litre of fluid capacity and cargo capacities that stretch from 5.3L on the Reyes up to 9.8L on the Laguna, which also has five compression straps for attaching extra equipment.
The Hydrapak Reyes can handle a modest 5.3L of gear but the external straps mean you can attach more if needed
One of Hydrapak's most interesting models for 2011 is barely even a pack at all, comprising little more than a barely-there ripstop nylon sleeve for the 1L reservoir, spindly mesh straps and six small pockets to hold energy food and maybe a multi-tool. There's no padding whatsoever and the reservoir compartment doesn't even zip shut.
The benefit of the E-Lite Vest is weight, or rather a lack thereof – claimed weight with the reservoir is just 280g (159g without), making it an enticing choice for mountain bike racers who need to carry a bit of extra fluid and nothing else.
Hydrapak's ultra-minimal E-Lite Vest carries just the bare essentials: 1L of fluid and a few strap-mounted pockets for energy gels and the like
While CamelBak still control the lion's share of the hydration pack market, Hydrapak's clever reservoir definitely makes their packs worth a closer look. The slide-lock top is exceptionally easy to operate and reversible for cleaning (and drying!), while the BPA-free material is remarkably strong and stretchy. Quick-disconnect hoses are included on upper-end models, too, while integrated magnetic clips help keep the lockable bite valve within easy reach.

Wall Herald Corporation has agreed to pay approximately $20 million for past and future cleanup costs incurred by the federal government at the Monitor Devices Superfund site in Wall Township, N.J., in accordance with a settlement filed April 15 in federal court in Trenton, N.J., according to the Justice Department and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Under the settlement, Wall Herald, a privately held corporation, will reimburse EPA for its investigation of soil and groundwater at the site and the development of the cleanup plan. In addition, the money provided in the settlement will pay for the cost of completing the cleanup. The settlement agreement resolves a complaint filed in the district of New Jersey in 2007.
The Monitor Devices site is located in the industrial park section of the Monmouth Executive Airport. The groundwater at the site is contaminated with hazardous chemicals, including trichloroethylene, which is a solvent used to clean metal parts that can cause nervous system effects and liver and lung damage.
Wall Herald is the current owner of the Monitor Devices site and has owned the property since the early 1960s. From 1977 to 1980, Wall Herald leased a portion of the site to Monitor Devices Inc., a company that went bankrupt in 1988. Monitor Devices manufactured and assembled circuit boards used by companies in the computer industry and circuit panels that were plated with copper, lead, nickel, gold and tin. The manufacturing process generated wastewater which was discharged directly onto the ground, resulting in contaminated soil and groundwater at the property.
In 1986, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection began investigating the extent of the soil, subsurface soil and ground water contamination and the site was added to the Superfund list that same year. EPA assumed the lead of the investigation into the extent of the ground water and soil contamination in the mid-90s and later determined that the ground water required remediation. EPA will begin the ground water cleanup this spring.
The consent decree, lodged in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, is subject to a 30-day public comment period and approval by the federal court. A copy of the consent decree is available on the Justice Department Web site at www.justice.gov/enrd/Consent_Decrees.html .

Further to the ongoing debate over school safety, gun control, etc., one of my daughters texted me this graphic:
I think the emerging consensus is that the best way to protect schools is by ensuring that at least one or two responsible adults in each school are armed. Of course, it will take some time to implement that consensus. Teachers, administrators and custodians can't be trained overnight.
In the meantime, I sympathize with liberals who say we need to do something right now…something like banning random types of firearms, for no particular reason. No, seriously–I get the fact that sometimes we need to do something, just to make a statement…to show that we care…even if what we do is only symbolic. I agree that this is such a time. So this morning, I joined the NRA.

The Lumia 520 looks good on paper and in photos, but what about recorded footage? We decided to take a closer look at the Windows Phone, which was unveiled to the world earlier today, and while it's targeting emerging markets we weren't left feeling disappointed. The model we managed to play with is the matte white variant.
As mentioned above, the Lumia 520 will be heading to emerging markets and will be aggressively priced - in fact, this will be the cheapest Lumia Windows Phone so far. Be sure to remain tuned to our feeds for more news from Mobile World Congress.

In the role that won him an Emmy Award for best actor in a comedy series, William Windom played John Monroe, a writer-cartoonist for a New York magazine who harnessed an active fantasy life to escape the doldrums of his middle-class Connecticut existence. Based on the work of American humorist James Thurber, "My World and Welcome to It" survived only one season on NBC.
But for Windom, the program marked the start of a long-term relationship with Thurber's whimsical Americana. The actor subsequently developed a one-man show based on Thurber's writings that he toured across the United States.
Windom died Thursday of congestive heart failure at his home in Woodacre, north of San Francisco, said his wife, Patricia. He was 88.
Born in New York City on Sept. 28, 1923, Windom was named after his great-grandfather, a Minnesota congressman and former U.S. Treasury secretary. He attended Williams College in Massachusetts before joining the Army as a paratrooper in World War II. He later attended the University of Kentucky, among several other higher-education institutions, and decided to pursue acting.
With his genial features, affable manner and extensive theater training, Windom was an in-demand television character actor for decades. He chalked up scores of guest credits, including episodes of "Twilight Zone" and "Star Trek,"in which he played a spacecraft commodore trying to thwart an out-of-control doomsday machine; the '60s comedy series "The Farmer's Daughter," in which he played a widowed Minnesota congressman; and more than 50 segments of "Murder, She Wrote," starting in the mid-1980s. In that whodunit drama, Windom played a Maine country doctor opposite series star Angela Lansbury's Jessica Fletcher.
In addition to performing in more than a dozen plays, he found work in summer stock, radio and television. He also began landing film roles, among them the part of the prosecuting attorney who parries in court with Gregory Peck's Atticus Finch in"To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962).
Married five times, Windom is survived by his wife of 37 years, Patricia, and four children, Rachel, Heather, Hope and Rebel; and four grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Sept. 15 at Theatre West, 3333 Cahuenga Blvd. West, Los Angeles.

Amazon S3 Versioning, Multi-Factor Authentication Now Available
By Chris Cardinal on February 11th, 2010
Continuing their trend of releasing substantial features and additional services in their web services portfolio on a regular basis, Amazon announced this week the availability of versioning and multi-factor authentication across their Simple Storage Service (S3) property.
How S3 Versioning Works
Versioning is a critical feature many developers had requested as data stored on S3, while maintained in triplicate across the S3 file-system automatically, is still vulnerable to sweeping delete operations by developers, errant scripts, or other causes. Moreover, developers had to manually version changing files if they wanted to preserve the ability to roll-back to an earlier revision or undo a "delete". In any event, a lot of custom code had to be created to replicate these behaviors, and most solutions weren't particularly graceful.

"Spielberg hides the darker aspects of his film, the ideological support of colonialism and the rhetoric of white, male patriarchies behind the glitz and glamour of spectacular action-adventure, all under the aegis of historical fiction."
"Holocaust history has often focused on the propaganda films and productions of Leni Riefenstahl for Hitler's genocidal missions. A good case can be made that films like George Stevens's Gunga Din and Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom are equally effective, intentionally or unintentionally, in supporting the propaganda machines of colonialism."
Dr. Kaizaad Navroze Kotwal of Ohio State University exposes Steven CIA Spielberg's propaganda in this analysis of the Indiana Jones series of movies.
The professor does not say Spielberg is working for CIA but I, HMW, do.

Name: Janet
Gender: Female
Age: 32
Location: Sacramento
Recently I accidentally discovered that my husband is downloading porn onto his computer from the internet. There's a lot of it and it all features teenage girls. I feel sick at the discovery. Why in the world would he hide something like this? I don't get it, and I don't know what to do about it.
Let's see, why would your husband hide his sexual fantasies from you? Ahhh, maybe it's because he knows that if he ever did share this private little part of his life with you, you'd pitch a fit just like you are doing now.
So your husband has a harmless fantasy life. Big deal! Get over it, darling. You want honesty in your marriage, Janet? Then stop being such a prig.
Fact is, most straight men groove on young female flesh. (Gay men on young male flesh.) Where's the surprise in that? The male brain is hot-wired to find youth attractive and alluring. It has something to do with the original purpose of sex — procreation. Youthfulness equals fertility; it's as simple and genetically programmed as that. Your husband is just bein' a guy. Why would you berate him for that? You sound like a real charmer.
Even though most mature straight males want to gawk at teenage titties, they are rarely stupid enough to think they can compete with hot and hunky younger men for the affections of these nubile vixens. Despite their rich fantasy life, they are more likely to stick with the adult females they've married. The guys who are to dense to figure this out, are likely to be absolutely miserable in the pursuit of what will constantly elude them. So give your old man a break, and let him enjoy a little virtual thrill.
Oh and Janet, and all you other people out there who are snooping around in other people's private affairs — stop it! Do you honestly think that I fell for that "oh, I accidentally discovered downloaded porn on my husband's computer" bullshit? Shame on you for prying into his private life without his permission. You have no right to do that. Even in a marriage an individual has a right to privacy and you, my dear, violated that trust. If anyone ought to be upset at this discovery it should be him.
Name: Richard
Gender: male
Age: 26
Location: Duluth MN
I've been practicing periods of celibacy and the way that I practice celibacy is by not ejaculating. I'll still have fornication with my girlfriend and things like that but without ejaculation. My question is that I notice that when I end a period of celibacy by finally ejaculating that my energy level is extraordinarily low afterwards. Are there supplements I can take to counteract the sleepy feeling I have after I ejaculate? Basically I would like to have the same focus day to day as when I am practicing celibacy but while I have a sexually active life. Any thoughts or answers would be great.
Before I get to your question. Richard, let's work on some of your vocabulary, shall we? The sexual practice you describe is not a type of celibacy. Celibacy has a very specific meaning. It is the state of being unmarried. You actually happen to be celibate, not because you're practicing ejaculation control, but because you're not married (i.e. the GF). For the sake of clarity, the only thing we ought to be able to say for sure when someone identifies him/herself as celibate is that he/she is not married. Period!
You're not really being sexually abstinent either, which is a concept that is often confused with celibacy. I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and guess that you're a Catholic, or you were raised as one. Who else would use the term "fornicate" when talking about having sex with his GF?
While technically you are correct, in "church-speak" unmarried partners fucking is fornicating. This is opposed to adultery, which refers to a married person fucking someone other than his or her husband or wife. The term fornicate has a very pejorative connotation. It's a word religious people use to describe sinful behavior. Is fucking your girlfriend sinful in your mind, Richard? If it is, stop fucking her right away! If it isn't, then don't refer to your sexual relations with her as fornication. If you can't bring yourself to use the term "fuck" to talk about what you two do together, there are plenty of other less negative euphemisms. For example, intercourse, or even coitus works. Just jettison the fornication, why don't cha!
Now, on to the very interesting sexual practice you describe in your message. If it isn't a "type" of celibacy, what is it? I think you maybe talking about a tantric sex practice. You have sex — solo as well as partnered sex — but you avoid ejaculating, right? You don't really say why you do this other than you seem to believe you conserve energy this way. Tantric practitioners talk about this practice in similar terms — preserving one's energy or chi. And that's what leads me to think what you're doing is a form of tantra.
Tantric sex is very interesting, if for no other reason it distinguishes between orgasm and ejaculation. Although they often happen at the same time for us men, we are capable of having orgasms without ejaculating and ejaculating without an orgasm. Perhaps, you've already discovered this.
Ejaculatory control, which is what I think you are doing, is what makes it possible for Tantric lovers to harness and extend the energy of orgasm. By refraining from, or holding off on an ejaculation, men can become multi-orgasmic. Some men achieve this by a practice known as edging or controlling the wave of orgasmic energy without ejaculating.
Further, you ask if there are any drugs that can help you regain your strength, or chi after you finally ejaculate. Rather than seek a chemical solution, why not delve deeper into tantra for the answers you seek. You are already more than half way there. You might want to look into chi power training too. Because, if I'm not mistaken, that's what you're actually talking about.
Name: Leila
Gender: Female
Age: 38
Location: Trenton, NJ
My husband and I have been married for 15 years. He wants sex way more often than I do. It's not because I don't love him, it's because he's ballooned to over 85 pounds more than he weighed when we were married and he was a big guy back then. About a month ago, I told him why my libido was low. This hurt his feelings and I got the silent treatment for a week. I've been trying to convince him that it's in his best interest that he slim down. He'd feel better and live longer. I cook healthy food at home, but I have control over how he eats when he's on his own. I've tried getting him interested in exercising, but none of this is working. The best I get from him is an occasional guilty feeling that makes him order a diet soda to go with his giant sized fast food meal. I love the big lug, but he's grossing me out.
Holy cow, your fat slob of a husband is about to lose the best thing he's got goin for him, huh Leila?
Listen up folks; a marriage license does not authorize you to go to seed. People marry each other because they're attracted to their partners emotionally and physically. When a husband or wife, lets him or herself go to the point of radically changing his or her physical appearance, that person can't complain when his/her spouse's libido drops off to nothing, or he or she starts to wander.
Level with your obese husband, darlin'! He's got to know that he has a choice to make — you or the junk food. You have a right to demand that he not eat himself out of a sex life, or worse eat himself to death.
Here's the thing; many people, myself included, believe that obesity is the moral equivalent of drunkenness. That's right, you heard me. Out of control eating is just as bad as out of control drinking. Health risks alone make obesity a national crisis, surpassing even alcoholism.
Would you stand helplessly by and watch your husband get hammered every day? Would anyone be surprised to learn that your libido slipped away because your husband drank himself into a stupor every night? I don't think so. So why do we tolerate self-destructive food consumption? It's as damaging to one's body and one's sex life as too much booze.
Listen Leila, you need to tell your spousal unit that his current size and shape is a turn-off to you, and that's why you're not putting out for him any more. Take my advice and don't mince your words just to spare his feelings.
And for all you out there who think I'm being heartless bastard. Just imagine how cruel it would be if Leila did or said nothing and her old man suddenly keeled over leaving her not only without sex, but a widow to boot.
Name: Cap
Gender: male
Age: 27
Location: Georgia
I'm an Iraq vet, two tours of duty. I've been home now for nearly 6 months and I can't pull it together. I'm depressed and angry all the time. I even find myself crying for no reason. I love my wife, but I can't get it up. I get frustrated and embarrassed and the whole thing falls apart. My wife tries to be supportive, but I know she's not happy. What should I do?
The first thing we all need to recognize is that the young men we send off to war are never the same men who return from war. The experiences you had in Iraq have fundamentally altered you, Cap. You are now realizing that the hell that is war doesn't stop when one is discharged.
It's painfully clear to me that you are suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. You report all the classic symptoms. Are you not getting any professional therapy to help you readjust to civilian life? If not; why not? You shouldn't be trying to handle this on your own. Reach out for the help you need. You fellow citizens owe you this much…at least.
Not surprisingly, I've been hearing from a number of vets lately, the Puget Sound area is a big military hub. Many vets report difficulty connecting with a spouse upon returning home. Like you, Cap, they continue to have affection for their partner, but for some of these men and women the eroticism has gone out of the relationship. Is this just what happens when one of the partners has been gone for such a long time? Or is there more to it than that? I know some vets are so consumed by their unresolved depression and anger that it is interfering with their sexual response, making it impossible for them to perform. Some vets are turning to drugs and alcohol to numb their psychological torment. Some are simply shutting down emotionally, because their internal turmoil is just too great and there's no room for anything else. Is this what's happening to you, Cap?
You can't expect your long-suffering wife to hang in there indefinitely, especially if you are not actively involved with a therapist to resolve your war-induced nightmare.
The good news is that many men who have preceded you to war in previous generations have come home as broken and abused as you. But they have, with the help of others, pulled their lives together once again. I encourage you to move in that direction. The longer you wait, the more pronounced the symptoms will become. Left unattended they will destroy your life as sure as if you had been an actual causality of an IED. Don't let this awful war claim even one more victim.
Good luck ya'll

Born on June 17, 1871, in Jacksonville, Florida, James Weldon Johnson was encouraged by his mother to study English literature and the European musical tradition. He attended Atlanta University, with the hope that the education he received there could be used to further the interests of African Americans. After graduating, he took a job as a high school principal in Jacksonville.
In 1900, he wrote the song "Lift Every Voice and Sing" on the occasion of Lincoln's birthday; the song was immensely popular in the black community, and became known as the "Negro National Anthem." Johnson moved to New York in 1901 to work with his brother Rosamond, a composer; after attaining some success as a songwriter for Broadway, he decided in 1906 to take a job as a U.S. consul to Venezuela. While employed by the diplomatic corps, Johnson had poems published in The Century Magazine and The Independent.
In 1912, Johnson anonymously published his novel The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man (French and Company), the story of a musician who rejects his black roots for a life of material comfort in the white world. The book explores the issue of racial identity in the twentieth century, a common theme for the writers of the Harlem Renaissance.
With his talent for persuading people of differing ideologies to work together for a common goal, Johnson became the national organizer for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1920. He edited The Book of American Negro Poetry (Harcourt Brace, 1922), a major contribution to the history of African-American literature. His book of poetry God's Trombones (Viking Press, 1927) was influenced by his impressions of the rural South, drawn from a trip he took to Georgia while a freshman in college. It was this trip that ignited his interest in the African American folk tradition.
James Weldon Johnson died on June 26, 1938.

Our Top 10 Thigh Exercises
Stronger, longer, leaner thighs - yup, we can help you get those. Here, our best upper-leg-exercises.
Squat with Ball
When it comes to thinner thighs, there's no exercise better than a squat. I love this one because of its pseudonym, the Backrub That Fights Thigh Flab.
Do it:
- Place an exercise ball between the wall and the curve of your lower back.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Bend your knees and lower 5 to 10 inches, keeping your shoulders level and your hips square. Hold this position for 3 seconds and then stand back up.
- Start with 5 reps and work up to 12. Rest for 30 seconds and do another set.
Lynda Churilla
The Flamingo Balance
Okay, there's a lot going on here — arms curling, torso tightening, legs kicking back. You may need to watch the video twice to get the hang of it, but the thigh-tightening potential here is high: Go slow, but definitely keep going.
Do it:
- Holding a dumbbell in your right hand, stand with your left hand on your hip.
- Lean forward slightly, lifting your left foot behind you to about hip height. At the same, bring your right arm forward.
- Turn your palm to face the ceiling and do a biceps curl.
- Touch your toes back down briefly, then repeat for 12 reps. Be sure to keep your left leg straight while bending your right knee.
- Switch sides: Stand with your left foot forward. Hold the dumbbell in your left hand, and hinge forward, raising your right leg up behind you to hip height.
- Simultaneously, raise your left arm forward, turn your palm to the ceiling, and do a biceps curl.
- Touch your toes back down briefly, and repeat for 12 reps.
Plyometric Squat
I love "anytime" moves like these that make me feel insta-strong. (Try a few at 3 p.m. when your brain is feeling melty and your bum is half-asleep.)
Do it:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Squat down, bending your knees to 90 degrees.
- Now jump up and land softly again in the squat position. Use the strength in your legs and butt to jump up explosively.
- Remember to land as softly as you can with your knees bent; keep your weight back, over your heels.
- Do 3 sets of 8 reps.
The Single-Leg Circle
A masochistic Pilates instructor once told me that once the single-leg circle got too easy, I should try spelling out the alphabet with each leg. I've yet to get past LMNO.
Do it:
- Lie back on the mat with your arms by your sides and your palms facing down.
- Begin by pointing with your left foot, as if reaching out with your toes toward the ceiling, and rotate your leg slightly outward.
- Inhale, and trace a circle on the ceiling with your left leg, moving your whole leg, but keeping your hips still. Don't lift your left hip off the floor.
- Trace the circle on the ceiling 5 times in a clockwise direction. Repeat in a counter-clockwise direction.
- Switch legs and repeat 5 times.
Lunges with Dumbbells
Not only does this three-part move make my thigh muscles blaze, but I get a great stretch down my kneecaps and through my shins, as well.
Do it:
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a 5- or 8-pound dumbbell in each hand.
- Lunge forward with your left leg, then straighten your leg. When you lunge, your right knee should come to about an inch above the ground without touching it.
- Keep your torso perpendicular to the floor, with your weight evenly distributed between your legs. Align your front knee over your front ankle, keeping the weight in your heels instead of on your toes.
- Continue these lunges for 30 seconds before switching sides and doing another 30 seconds on the other leg.
Phase 2 of lunges with dumbbells:
- Hold the dumbbells at shoulder height, palms facing front.
- Lunge forward with one leg, then bring your feet back together and lunge forward with the other leg. You should continue lunging on alternate legs for 60 seconds.
- Add a biceps curl in the final progression of this move: After each lunge forward, push through the heel of your forward foot while lifting your back knee in front of you to hip level.
- Do a biceps curl, then step back into a lunge. Repeat the lunge, plus curl, on one leg for 30 seconds, and then switch legs for another 30 seconds.
Lynda Churilla
Toe Squat with Overhead Reach
This exercise is a cousin to yoga's utkatasana. When you press your knees firmly together, imagine you're holding something precious between them: A love letter. A favorite photo. A sandwich.
Do it:
- Come into a chair pose, abs engaged, inner knees and ankles touching, hips lowered to a half-squat, dumbbell over your head.
- Now come up onto the balls of your feet and keep your lower legs controlled as you lower and lift your butt, about 4 inches.
- Take your time and keep yourself steady as you lift and lower, between 8 and 12 times.
Sun Salutation
Another borrowed yoga exercise, each move in this sequence — from your first forward bend through your last downward dog — relies in part on the large muscles in your thighs. Try this basic version, then amp up to an extra-challenging one.
Do it:
- On a mat, stand tall with your feet together and your arms by your sides. Be sure to distribute your weight evenly through the soles of your feet.
- To begin, take a deep breath and lift your chin slightly as you raise your arms over your head.
- Now, with your arms straight and your palms facing each other, reach toward the ceiling with your fingertips. (This is mountain pose.)
- From the mountain pose, sweep your arms down to the sides, exhaling as you swan dive forward into the forward bend. Bend at your hips until your palms or fingertips touch the floor on either side of your feet.
- Keep your fingers aligned with your toes and bend your knees if your back or hamstrings are tight.
- From the forward bend, move into a flat back, inhaling as you raise your torso to waist height, keeping your back flat. Bring your gaze forward, reaching with your tailbone away from the top of your head. Keep your head aligned with your spine and your navel pulled in.
- Bend your knees and place your palms flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart.
- Jump or walk both feet backward and lift your hips, coming into a downward facing dog. Spread your fingers and make sure your feet are parallel and hip-width apart. Reach with your tailbone toward the ceiling. Hold this position for a moment, breathing as you move deeper into the pose.
- To reverse this series, jump or walk your feet forward into the flat-back pose.
- Drop your head, straighten your legs, and bring your fingers outside either foot, moving into the forward bend.
- Lastly, sweep your arms overhead as you return to mountain pose.
A move to double up on pre-tankini season, the plié tightens that nebulous bum/back-of-thigh region.
Do it:
- Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing out.
- Bring your arms out straight in front of you and lower into a squat.
- Come back up and repeat. Go as low into the squat as you can without letting your knees move past your toes.
- Be sure to tuck your tailbone under and contract your glutes. Keep your torso tall, and don't let your knees creep past your toes.
- Do for 1 minute. (After about 40 seconds, pulse at the bottom of the squat for 20 seconds.)
Pick-Up Squat
A lovely front-thigh stretch — just be sure to go easy on your lower back by keeping your chest nice and straight throughout the moves.
Do it:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a 5- or 8-pound dumbbell in each hand by your sides.
- Bend your knees 90 degrees, keeping your chest lifted as you place the dumbbells down, outside your feet.
- Stand up and immediately squat down again, picking up the weights at your feet.

Author Notes: Adapted from Almost Bourdain's Lemon, Lime and Orange Soufflé, original recipe from Raspberry Souffle in Serving The Menu Again by Ben O'Donoghue and Curtis Stone. —pickyin
Serves: 8
6 ounces containers of fresh raspberries
3 1/2
ounces castor sugar
tablespoons corn flour
tablespoons water
egg whites (room temperature)
pinch of salt
teaspoon rose water
3 1/2
ounces caster sugar
ounces butter, softened, enough to grease the moulds
3 1/2
ounces caster sugar, enough to coat the moulds
Icing sugar, for dusting
Creme anglaise or ice cream, to serve
In This Recipe
- Puree the raspberries in a blender and press through a fine sieve to remove the seeds. Add enough water to make 500 milliliters of puree.
- To make the base, place the raspberry puree and sugar in a saucepan over a medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar and bring to the boil. Mix the corn flour with just enough water to make a smooth paste. Once the fruit puree reaches boiling point, reduce the heat to low and whisk the corn flour paste into the fruit puree a little at a time. Whisk for 1 minute and do not allow mixture to boil again. Remove from the heat and set aside. Chill to cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Place the egg whites into a very clean, very large mixing bowl, add the salt and beat at high speed until soft peaks form. Add the sugar, a little at a time, and beat until stiff peaks form. Do not over whisk or the egg whites will break down and be unable to hold the air required to life the souffle.
- Place the fruit puree base into a very large bowl and whisk until smooth. Add a little of the egg white mixture and stir in to loosen the consistency. Gently fold in the remaining egg white and rose essence.
- Brush the bases of 6 1-cup capacity ramekins with the softened butter, then, using upward strokes (this is very important), brush the sides. Chill in the refrigerator until set, and then repeat. Sprinkle in a little of the caster sugar, turning the ramekins to coat the base and sides. To fill the moulds, use a palette knife to spread the souffle mixture around the sides while holding the ramekin at a 45-degrees angle. Fill the middle and smooth top top, without allowing any mixture to stick to the rim or run over the sides.
- Place in the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden and well risen. Serve immediately dusted with icing sugar, and with creme anglaise or ice cream on the side, if you like.

I bought a 'sunflask' decanter about 2 years ago. Thought it was the real thing (duh!) I think I bid £35ish on it. It arrived and..oooh dear! I can't remember if it had 'Made in Italy' on it, but it had a nasty plastic fitting around the stopper and I hated it! Luckily the plastic was dead tatty, so I sent it back, saying it was damaged. It got lost in the post...and I got a full refund from the post office. Yippeee! :lol:

Ginatio, maybe you just aren't looking in the right places. You are just finding these tool bitches.Try girls that are really into SOMETHING, besides themselves. Whether its studies, art, sex, sports, serial killing. Something. You might have interesting conversations, and it might be a stepstone to a relationship that lasts longer than a menstrual cycle. Also, are you one of those shallow dudes that just go for really hot chicks? That might be it too.
judging by that picture, it seems like you ate one. I don't know, I don't talk to girls often, but when I do, they are usually very cool.
You go to Upenn?I mean, would you rather go out with a shallow beautiful chick or an ugly one that interests you? Oh, neither, maybe that's why you are in your situation
You mf's are funny as hell, are u serious?
ummm... yea.. i mean... no? Quote from: Ladyday on May 30, 2004, 11:39:15 AMYou mf's are funny as hell, are u serious?
the banter between u too just makes me laugh. and referring to your own friends as ugly is just makes me shake my head. from what you've said so far I think that you are being a little bit too picky, not saying anything against you, but you may find out that your dream woman is one of those "tool bitches" that you think is ugly. now with that being said, I'm not saying date a woman that looks like a gorilla b/c b/c I wouldn't do that myself, but loosen your standards a little. Also, don't worry about it, soon you'll be working for me, and you'll be getting paid.

Tesla (10 series) solutions have a big bunch of memory (4GB per GPU) and no graphics card component. In terms of FLOPS the geforce 2xx series are also great (but with less memory per GPU). The tesla C1060 that I work with generates massive heat (they need 200W per card to work), so that is an issue to care about (I have a cold - ~16Celsius - air flow at front of the PC). The 1070 is a 4 GPU "all in one" 1U blade, so I guess it's probably the optimal solution from a management point of view (don't forget the host PC too). The problem with too much data within the GPU (total 16GB) is the bootlenecks (at PCI-x bus) you may have if you need to download big bunches of data frequently or if the code in GPU A is supposed to interact with GPU B/C/D. One thing that's not mentioned out loud by NVIDIA (I have read only in CUDA programming manual) is that if the video system needs more memory that's not available(say you change resolution, while you're waiting for your process to finish), it will crash your cuda app, so I advise you to use a second card to display (if you have a tesla solution, you certainly have a "second" display card). If you are running remotly, this i an non issue (framebuffers don't need much memory neither change resolution). Gil Brandao

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have signed a memorandum of understanding to mark ANSI's acceptance as an accreditation body to participate in the WaterSense Program.
The program helps consumers to identify products that conserve water while maintaining high performance levels. Products certified by accredited certification bodies may carry a WaterSense label, giving consumers an easy way to identify quality, water-efficient products.
As the first accreditation body approved to perform accreditation services under the WaterSense program, ANSI is pleased to announce the launch of a new pilot accreditation program for EPA-licensed certification bodies. ANSI accreditation adds value to the certification process, ensuring that certification bodies demonstrate compliance with the WaterSense product certification system and are capable and competent to carry out their responsibilities.
www.ansi.org/accreditation Applications for the pilot program will be accepted through June 30. Applications received after that date will be considered for accreditation following the completion of the pilot program.
"Managing water conservation continues to be a growing concern in the United States," explained Lane Hallenbeck, ANSI vice president of accreditation services. "ANSI is proud to add value to EPA's WaterSense program through independent, third-party accreditation, as it enhances market confidence for water-efficient products, programs, and practices."
Specifically, ANSI will assess the competence of certification bodies against the requirements set forth in:
ANSI understands and has demonstrated the importance of accreditation in supporting consumer safety and international trade. The institute's portfolio of accreditation services includes programs for all types of certification and verification bodies, including those for products, personnel, greenhouse gas emissions, as well as standards developers.
To learn more about the pilot program, contact Reinaldo Figueiredo (email@example.com; 202.331.3611) or Nikki Jackson (email@example.com; 202.331.3623).

Project Milwaukee: State of Upheaval
2011 will go down in Wisconsin's history as one of the most volatile years for the state's politics and economy. While facing a big state budget deficit, amid the national recession, Governor Scott Walker implemented massive spending cuts and limits to public workers' collective bargaining rights shortly after his inauguration. As Democrats attempted to delay votes, and thousands of citizens protested, Republican lawmakers approved the governor's policies.
The events sparked months of heated debate over the GOP agenda, as well as recalls of state senators and efforts to unseat the governor. Walker's supporters maintain that he is positioning Wisconsin for an economic rebound and fiscal stability. His critics insist the policies are harming the middle class, public education and the social safety net.
During December 2011, Project Milwaukee: State of Upheaval explored the intersection of Wisconsin's volatile political and economic climate. WUWM News reporters and Lake Effect producers reflected on the year, examined the long-range impact of the new policies and looked into where the state may be headed.

Editor's note: Business Traveller is a monthly show about making the most of doing business on the road.
(CNN) -- The aviation sector is renowned as a carbon intensive business, but an increasing number of airports are looking to change that by integrating the latest green-tech into their daily operations.
Air travel and transport accounts for two percent of all human generated greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) -- with airports contributing five percent to the overall aviation figure.
By adapting clean energy policies and technologies, eco-conscious airport operators hope to make a dent in these numbers and boost the industry's environmental street-cred.
"We are making our airports greener, while balancing the tremendous economic impacts they deliver for our region," says Amy Malick, deputy commissioner of sustainability for the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA), which will host the fifth annual Airports Going Green conference this November.
The conference provides a platform for over 400 airport executives and green thinkers from around the world to present programs, strategies, and lessons-learned regarding airport sustainability.
"(We are) committed to implementing sustainable initiatives at our airports that enhance the quality of life for citizens," she adds.
See also: Who are the U.S. and Europe's greenest airlines?
Malick highlights how the CDA has installed over 230,000 square feet of vegetated roof space at Chicago O'Hare and Medway International Airport, ensured all Chicago airport trucks are fueled with ultra-low sulfur diesel gas and insisted recycled materials are utilized in all airports when possible.
As a result, the CDA has saved 76,000 tons of CO2 from being pumped out by Chicago's airports alone, she claims.
Across the U.S. like-minded schemes are taking off with increasing regularity. Airports such as Boston Logan and Denver International now generate a small percentage of their energy requirements from renewable energy sources (such as on site wind and solar).
In Europe meanwhile 64 airports have joined the Airport Carbon Accreditation program, which recognizes innovative eco-airport efforts. A further five sites have signed up to the scheme in Asia.
See also: Dublin's green airport
According to Chris Surgenor, the editor of independent UK based aviation and environment publication, Greenair, more airports are interested in eco-friendly schemes because of the business and public relations benefits they increasingly provide.
"Generally, whoever you are in business, you are looking to become more corporate friendly and environmentally aware," Surgenor says.
"It (also) makes financial sense in the way that if you have a more efficiently run airport you will save money over time," he adds.
Other industry analysts however have a more cynical view, criticizing what they see as the ulterior motives behind green airport strategies.
"Not that they're (green airport initiatives) inherently a bad thing, but it's a waste of time when there are increasingly more flights and when airports are expanding," says Joe Ryle of UK based anti-aviation expansion group, Plane Stupid.
"It's basically green-washing at its most obvious. When aviation industry people talk about greener planes and greener airports having solar panels it's ultimately just a way for them to draw attention away from the rise in carbon polluting flights," he adds.
See also: The place where airplanes are recycled
The threat of factions within the aviation industry using green airport policies as a gimmick to divert attention from the sectors overall emissions is one recognized by Amy Malick.
But she firmly believes this shouldn't deter or stop airports across the globe from coming up with innovative new ways to cut or offset their emissions.
"That is a danger, but "green-washing" is not the case in Chicago," she says. "We are not alone in this effort and will continue to be joined by airports around the world," she adds.

Bosleypalmer needed a new wordpress theme design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 42 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
Steve Palmer Films
I make videos for small companies and organizations. Generally with a little bit of a younger and more hip feel. Not unlike the video on the main page of http://www.99designs.com. Because of the business I'm in I need something that is going to be slightly artsy, sleek, and hip. But mostly clear, simple, and clean.
My target audience is small businesses, organizations, and schools.
I have uploaded a PDF of what I presently envision(spf.com.pdf). It is by no means set in stone. I have also uploaded my logo for you to work with(spf.jpg).
I want my site to be very clear, simple, and clean. I want it to be stylish and hip to fit someone that makes videos and is creative. I make videos similar to the one on the homepage of http://www.99designs.com
When people arrive on the site, I don't want people to be confused about what they are looking at and where they should go. I need it to be very simple to find information about me, my videos, and further steps.
There is a video on the homepage of http://www.toptestprep.com
I like how there is a nice thumb nail picture. When you run the mouse over it there is a button to watch the video. My favorite part of this is when you click to watch the video, you are not redirected. Rather there is a pop-up and it plays right there on the page. You can x it out anytime you want and you never get rerouted.
Thanks so much for working on this project and feel free to ask me any questions you have.
