My point is simply based on knowing the power of perception. Forget the military, just look at the incredible influence of advertising, globally. You're a smart guy, I am sure you don't need me to explain the comparison and effect.
Not that I want to get into a dick waving contest but I suggest you watch the video below. It may help you understand my point?

Wow, that's quite an interesting view/idea. I mean, I agree with you on the purpose of the photo and its intended effect. The part I find interesting is how it could be encouraged to bring about the demise of the military. Actually, your thoughts are similar to the idea that we need more feminism not less.

For these talking about the lesbian kiss, what a coincidence the lottery the NAVY runs was won by a attractive lesbian couple hot enough to get a lot of attention, 2 women and we all know lesbianism always has been more accepted in society that gay men.
I mean just imagine the first kiss by these 2 couples, of course they won't gain the same attention…

Interesting POV and perhaps you are quite correct. However, you seem to be answering your own opinion and not mine. I never questioned the fighting ability of homosexuals.
Like I said, I am simply pointing out the power of perception not the ability of the said Marine to fight. Deception propaganda and projection of power and strength are a major part of warfare and most contact sports. Not forgetting troop/player morale.

@ greyghost
I realize Welmer isn't being "anti-gay"—I was just clarifying my whole position on the issues of gays in society.
Once again, the main problem with the photo isn't that gays are now serving openly. The problem with the photo is attention whoring like that spits in the face of the martial values that should govern any military establishment—principles like emotional reticence, discipline, etc. The point of the military isn't to make a political statement…it's to kill people.
That's what I was trying to say.Like or Dislike: 7 3

It's not the homosexuality that bothers me, it's the exhibitionism and attention whoring—how much clearer can I make that?
And, yes, I would feel somewhat uncomfortable if a returning Marine and his wife were photographed in the same liplocked embrace. But between two men it troubles me more because in waritime those two men are more likely to be comardes in battle than any man and woman. Liaisons between men have a potential to disrupt battlefield cohesion and comarderie than those between men and women. And, no, allowing women in combat doesn't change this calculus because everyone knows they won't be fighting in actual combat in any significant numbers.

The young marine in the picture just returned from his THIRD deployment to a combat zone overseas. He hasn't done anything wrong, nor has he harmed the marines. With DADT over, every branch of the services will have servicemen who are out of the closet. This picture means little in that context. He deserves an emotional homecoming moment (even with kissing) after his service. We should be thanking him, not whining about seeing him kiss his partner.Like or Dislike: 3 13

I was actually about to put an "or" to replace that comma, but personally I find it hard to believe in God and not be a Christian. To me the two seem synonymous. I guess if you believe that God exists and nothing more, then what you say makes sense. Usually when someone believes in God, it's insinuated that not only you believe in him, but you believe in his teachings, the Bible being the Word of God, Jesus died for the sins of the world and was resurrected, etc., etc. A Christian.

Also, why is the issue of gays in "male" military showers never raised? Women have separate showers because straight men and women see each other as sex objects. Since gay men view other men sexually, why don't they, too have their own facilities?

Spartans gay?
"It started in modern times by wrongly understanding or translating the word 'lover',' the name for the mentor of the young Spartan which was just that, a personal mentor, and the Greek term has nothing to do with love in our modern English sense….Even Plutarch in life of Lycourgos wrote that the relationship between boy and mentor was chaste….Of couse homosexuals and paedophiles did exist. Yet the practice was frowned upon.

A male who runs all he does past Big Mommy for approval is not, IMHO, a man.

Nonsense. Hitler not only purged gay men (especially in upper ranks), the few he allowed to live knew Adolf had them by the shorties.

Proves the point: women are worth more than men.
Nearly 60,000 American males died during the Vietnam War. Only one woman did (8 others died from non-war reasons). Yet they erected a monument for military women.
So where's the monument for K-9 dogs who actually served in combat?

> "Here in North America you can see dudes slobbering over huge 200 kilo (400 pound) single moms."
"Slobbering"? Sounds sorta judgmental, no?
What happens when gays become more numerous and "open" in the military and start cruising showers?
Suppose a hot female is in a combat unit and is the "girlfriend" of one of the guys. If she gets wounded, will he take risks to save her that he might not otherwise? What if she dumps him and chooses another guy in the same unit? How will the resulting emotions affect the mission?
Now what, if instead of a female, two gays serve in the same unit and one gets wounded?
I'm not saying what WILL happen, just what could. All units try to maximize cohesion, treating fellow unit members as a "band of brothers." That can both motivate soldiers and jeopardize effectiveness (like seeing a favorite blown to shitereens).
Few talk about the real-life, in-theater, in-field dynamics that gays/women could change…for better or worse.
Also, why is the Marine a "hero"? Sounds like he just did his job, one he chose. Do we call the dude who makes pizza "brave" for doing HIS job?

As a positive point: at least the gays don't have a tradition of suing for harassment, quotas, and don't get pregnant.
They probably don't object to male gossip about women and rough language. They probably don't as for quotas either, nor for lighter standards in physical testing. Nor do they want to be saved preferentially when boats sink, or when they get caught in action by the enemy.
Seems women are much more of a problem.
But I understand there are some serious problems.

I think it is sick . I do not advocate violence against such person male or female who are sick but I certainly think such behavior should be disciplined to prevent it from happening again.
It causes the children to have mental problems and it degenerates society. Homosexuality is a condition of immature normal sexual development common in apes and man and other animals. It surfaces in about 5% of any populace and can be much higher but overall heterosexual maturity is reached by 80% or more.
I think society has a duty to shield children from before birth and their parents and the society they live in from exposure of them to more evil versus less evil. I think that today, they are overstimulated by the behavior and information projected at them by society and adults who are sick themselves.
I believe they should not be allowed to promote an illness of society upon society and should be regulated in this behavior.
I was in the Navy and Marines and gay men in them days were not open by any means or they were expelled. I thought that latter harsh and unwise, they should have be disciplined with mast and losses by CO orders and made to control their behaviors. I had no power to change rules.
Many men have latent homosexual desires and it is offensive to God that these be tempted who otherwise do not think or manifest these activities , for them and others I do think the traditional conservative straight heterosexual married Godly family orientated society is the very best and cleanest before my God. It will survive while the other will fall and fail.Like or Dislike: 0 0

Amati ABN41S BassoonAn excellent instrument for the bassoonist on a tight budget, the Amati ABN41S bassoon plays with the quality and characteristics of much more expensive bassoons. The Amati ABN41 is a standard model that features a maple body with 24 keys with high C & D keys, lacquer finish, silver-plated keywork and two number 2 bocals. Complete with case.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I bought an Amati ABN41 back in the early 90's and was extremely happy with this instrument. The wood is of excellent quality and the finish is durable (several layers of lacquer). The key work is excellent. Include whisper key lock, rollers on left pinky finger keys, rollers on all right hand thumb keys, and rollers on right hand pinky keys. The wing joint has protective hard rubber coating in bore and tone holes. The same along the boot joint on wing joint side. The instrument has excellent intonation across the low to high registers. The low and mid registers are very smooth and rich. My Amati came in a hard shell (metal with hard plastic coating) with excellent storage space. Over the years, I only had wear on the whisper key and had to replace the crutch a few times (can break after long hours of practice).
Case is good. Wood finish is excellent. Keywork looks very nice. When I tried to assemble it, the corks on the long joint were so thick that my repairman had to sand them down. It was obvious it had never been play-tested. After a few days of trying to play it, it was so badly out of adjustment that I had to take it to the repairman again. Now that I've got it into playing condition, I really like the horn.
I am very satisfied with this bassoon. I used to have an old bassoon in bad shape, but with this Amati bassoon, I'm making music, not just sounds. It's a great bassoon for the price and to use for high school/college. For more serious players, once you adjust your reeds if needed, there's not much more you could ask for from this instrument. The look of the instrument is striking; it is beautifully crafted. I suggest buying silk swabs to remove moisture from your instrument after playing because the fuzzy ones the bassoon comes with tend to leave lint in the wing joint.
Since $$ was a concern when wanting to buy a step up bassoon from the one I started on, I did a fair amount of research & found that the Amati generally got good reviews. I was able to contact their distributor in the U.S. & got many of my add'l questions answered promptly. The bassoon has been 100% reliable so far - only needed to sand the corks a bit & oil the bore when I got it out of the box. I didn't tell the members of the orchestra I play in that I got a new bassoon, but I rec'd several compliments on my "improved sound" at the first rehearsal I took it to!
The Amati bassoons are such a great value....I played on one through HS and partially through college. Big sound, the left thumb keys look different than a normal heck copy but you have to try this horn!

Tuesday, December 15, 2009 - Living an Independent Life: Avoiding Amputation
Dr. David Stanley
With each passing year, millions of Baby Boomers join the ranks of senior citizens. Many of them live fulfilling lives, enjoying the greater freedom they have to spend time seeing the people and taking part in the activities that they love. For others, the so-called "golden years" are less than golden because they are dominated by difficult health problems.
The following article features advice on preventing chronic wounds and amputation from
David Stanley, M.D.
He is a board-certified surgeon and wound treatment specialist on the staff of Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge.
How does amputation generally affect patients?
Dr. Stanley:
Amputations are categorized as minor and major. When the lower extremities are involved, minor amputations involve removal of a toe or part of a foot, while major amputations involve removal of the entire foot or part of a leg.
This type of surgery – especially major amputation -- significantly affects a person's quality of life, decreasing life expectancy, limiting mobility, and impacting self-image. For diabetic and older patients, amputation often results in loss of ability to be independent, leading to admission to an assisted living facility. Consequently, preventing the need for amputation is in patients' best interest. Once surgery has been performed, people need a team of health professionals that may include physicians, a physical therapist, occupational therapist, social worker, psychologist and others, to assist with post-surgery recovery and rehabilitation.
The goal of rehab is to help patients adjust to life after amputation. Patients may be fitted for an artificial limb and learn to use other assistive devices in order to resume many daily activities. They also may need psychological counseling. Some people who experience pain in the amputated limb – called "phantom pain" – may require pain medication and therapy to deal with the discomfort.
Why are most amputations necessary?
Dr. Stanley:
Most amputations in this country are performed on people age 65 and older, and they involve removal of part of the leg. They are usually necessary because of tissue damage or gangrene associated with diabetes, loss of sensation in the feet and peripheral artery disease (PAD).
PAD is a condition in which arteries harden and block the flow of blood and oxygen. It can occur anywhere in the body, but most often affects the feet and legs. It is common and more difficult to treat in people who have diabetes.
Less common reasons for amputations are traumatic injuries, or accidents, cancer, and congenital conditions.
How can people minimize their risk for PAD?
Dr. Stanley:
Certain risk factors such as aging or having a personal or family history of PAD cannot be changed. People can, however, work with their doctor to manage their diabetes if they are diabetic, avoid tobacco products, maintain a healthy weight, live a physically active life, and control cholesterol and blood pressure levels.
What are the symptoms of PAD?
Dr. Stanley:
Common signs are discomfort, cramping or heaviness in the toes, feet or legs, non-healing wounds in those areas, difficulty walking, and localized pain in the lower leg or foot.
How is PAD treated?
Dr. Stanley:
The two major treatment goals are recognizing symptoms such as leg pain and early signs of foot injury such as blisters, ulcers or trauma from pressure points on a deformed or numb foot. Some patients achieve these goals with lifestyle changes such as smoking cessation, proper exercise, weight control and dietary changes. Others require medication to control blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol, prevent clots, or manage pain.
In some cases, vascular surgery may be necessary. Angioplasty is a procedure to open the narrowed arteries. A surgeon inserts a catheter through a blood vessel to the affected artery, and inflates a small balloon to reopen the artery and flatten the blockage against the artery wall. The surgeon also may insert a mesh device called a stent to keep the artery open. Bypass surgery is another option. During this procedure, the surgeon uses a synthetic blood vessel or a vessel from another part of the patient's body to bypass the blocked area. If a blood clot is causing the blockage, the doctor may inject a clot-dissolving drug.
Post-surgery treatment may include medication, supervised exercise and lifestyle changes to prevent the spread of PAD throughout the body. Foot care is extremely important in preventing chronic wounds from developing in the feet and legs. Patients should wash and moisturize their feet every day, wear well-fitted shoes, trim their toenails regularly, and receive prompt medical treatment for foot or leg infections.
What happens when chronic wounds develop?
Chronic leg wounds from varicose veins may require antibiotics and compression therapy to eliminate infection and direct blood flow through superficial veins into the deep veins. Debridement also may be necessary. This treatment is a surgical procedure to remove dead and infected tissue and stimulate healing.
Another option for some patients is a unique new treatment called Apligraf®, which is a living, skin-like substance. It is grown from human skin cells in a laboratory and grafted over certain types of wounds. Applying it to a wound is simple and painless. Unlike conventional skin grafts, surgery is not required, and no skin has to be removed from another part of the body for the graft. Like human skin, it has an outer protective layer of cells and an inner layer containing cells that are important in the healing process.
When these treatments are unsuccessful, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an option for certain people. During hyperbaric treatment, a patient lying in a comfortable hyperbaric chamber breathes pure oxygen that is gradually pressurized.
This process allows them to dissolve more oxygen in their red blood cells and plasma. Oxygen circulates throughout the body and reaches tissues that are not receiving enough oxygen under normal circumstances. The action stimulates new blood vessel growth and promotes healing during and after the treatment. Patients should show signs of new artery growth and healing by 14 to 20 treatments, but may need 40-50 treatments for maximum benefit. Hyperbaric treatment is rapidly gaining greater acceptance in this country and is helping a growing number of patients with chronic wounds heal without the need for amputation.

I spotted the alarming bloke,

"have you ever seen…" he started bleek,
HOOD WHIPPED BACK, "A duck…wif teef? >:A"

I wrote this poem about an IRC community but I imagine it can probably be applied to many internet communities that we're a part of here inside of our glowing idiot boxes.
I had hoped to gather friends,
and fill my days with chats.
I'd hoped to achieve pleasant ends,
and sit and chew the fats.
With friends from 'round the globe I'd talk,
and topics we would probe and gawk!
We, the people in the box.
I learned a great too many things,
from We, here in the box.
That words can hurt worse than bee stings,
or itchy chicken pox.
It seemed as though that We had learned,
to tailor words to hurt.
Some hatred flung, some insults burned,
some curt and careless blurts.
We did have love,
so don't be hasty,
to judge us box folk,
dark or pasty,
as wholly hating Us…
Our friendship keeps right on enduring,
the petty fights and fuss.
Inside the box we keep immuring,
Us within, sometimes maturing,
sometimes adjusting, but never curing,
Our loving hatred,
for Our Us.
Please don't look at my tumblr or reblog any of my posts if you are a MLP fan. Thank you very much, have a nice day :)
Just looked at my reblogged posts. I…I thought vegans were supposed to be smart, loving, understanding, compassionate people…but it turns out most of them are just latching onto a subculture so that they can feel like they're a soldier for a cause bigger than themselves. This breed of misguided, narrow mindedness is even more dangerous than others because it touts love and compassion as the foundation of the entire vegan culture. The two warm fuzzy emotions are used as the first and last arguments of a fanatical-lookin'-for-converts-vegan because if you argue FOR love and compassion it implies that the other person has no love or compassion and is arguing against it. It was about love and compassion when you watched that video of the cow in the grinder and felt bad and made a conscious decision to stop contributing to that. It's no longer about love and compassion when you start attacking other humans, verbally or otherwise, in an attempt to recruit. You're just looking for something more important than your meaningless life to fight for, you're just angry and disappointed with the world as a whole and don't know where to direct that anger, you're just like the rest of us…and I love that about you because that's what I hate about me.
P.S. I do love me some fruit juice/almond milk smoothies so thanks for the heightened popularity of stuff like that, Vegan-Soldiers, it's a 100% positive and healthy result of your fight~
Respect is earned, not demanded. It makes no difference to me whether you're 8 or 80.

My sentiments exactly.

I can't get over the loss of value with this. 10$ for an infinite number of a pet or 10$ for one. If they just introduced an option to get the BoE or BoA, I think this would have been perfect.
And maybe next time, experiment with a pet that isn't a companion to an existing BoA mount. That just hurts even more.

Will Ferrell At His Best
There is NO question that Will Ferrell is one of the greatest comedians of all time. He has given us some classic comedy gems, and introduced us to a number of other great comedic actors. One thing I love most about his films are the outtakes. His improvisational skills are awesome. Honestly, I'm not sure how these guys don't crack up more often.

Dominican Academy is committed to building a community of smart women. Our daughters are being challenged academically, nurtured in self-confidence and -awareness and exposed to the wonders of NYC, and the world!
Choosing to attend Dominican Academy has been one of the best decisions I have ever made! All I see are positives from its small size. My class year had 70 students, and we were the largest year in the school at the time. Through our retreats, activities, and classes together, I've gotten to know all of the girls in my year and found a lifelong group of friends. Since my largest class ever in DA was 20 people for Theology, every teacher knew more than my name, which definitely helped for college recommendations. The teachers want every DA girl to realize her potential and succeed in their academics. I have had teachers that have given me the best life advice and became my mentors. Although the school is small, there is such an array of APs and electives. With the APs I have taken, I came into college with 14 credits! DA's location is as best as it gets. The 6 train and numerous buses stop within 2 blocks away. DA has helped me prepare for college's rigorous curriculum and in life skills such as networking and resume writing . My drive to succeed and my passion for service to others have been set and grown by DA, and I wish I can go back to my years there!
Although the actual school is small building, it is beautiful and much is accomplished within those walls! A great mix of girls from many different ethnic and economic backgrounds and all mix well and all have respect for each other. The students are caring for each other and the world outside their school. Excellent interaction with faculty and staff and something for everyone. Proud to have had two graduates from Dominican Academy who are extremely well prepared for college and beyond. I would highly recommend DA!
Dominican Academy resides is an historic 68th Street townhouse, donated by Michael Friedsam (founder of B. Altman & Co., benefactor of the Metropolitan, and namesake of the carousel in Central Park). For 117 years, this "Blue Ribbon School of Excellence" has challenged and nurtured gifted high school girls, to meet their full academic potential, and to live the love of Christ as they interact with each other and their communities. All classes are honors level, reflecting the capabilities of the young women drawn to DA from all over the NYC metropolitan area. There are 11 AP courses, taught separately. Students study the classics (Latin is required), and most take 4 years of math and science (3 years are required). Community service is part of the curriculum, including the social justice seminar with brother school Regis High School. The soccer, softball, tennis and track teams play in Central Park, and basketball and volleyball teams play at home in the Regis gym. Reflecting its core values, and through generous support, DA's tuition is a fraction of comparable Manhattan schools, so as many "smart girls" as possible can learn together, and become "intelligent young women."
My school is a really happy place, in all honesty. It is an all girls Catholic high school with no more than 230 students. Its small size is what makes it unique and wonderful. We are a community above all. We all root for each other, these are my sisters. Walking through the halls I know every name and every face. At first, I feared the rigorous curriculum. Now, I welcome it because it has challenged me and I believe I am more successful because of it. My education does not consist of memorization, but of critical thinking and questioning. I can thank my teachers for my ability to carry an intellectual conversation. My teachers are the brightest group of people I have ever met, they inspire me to work hard and be as knowledgeable as they are. I really feel like I am learning from the best. DA has groomed me into an intelligent young woman and I will always be grateful, the LEAST I can do is give it 5 stars.
Dominican Academy is a great school located in a very prestigious location of Manhattan, The school only offers honors classes and AP class. The school is small so that each student is intellectually engaged with each teacher. The school is beautiful as it is a landmark brownstone and students enjoy learning in the building and playing sports down the street In Central Park.Sports are an integral part of the social life and include crew, soccer, softball, basketball and volleyball. If you do not play sports there are many clubs one can join and each student is encouraged to join a few. Every year there is an optional trip to Europe and a ski trip. The school participates with Regis for dances, plays and other social events. If you like to be with smart. pretty girls with a touch of class this is the school for you!
Dominican Academy is truly wonderful! As a student here, I feel well prepared for college, but also for life. I genuinely love my school. If I relived the 8th grade decision process- I would absolutely choose DA again. Our community is outstanding! Students and faculty members are extremely intelligent, successful, open, and caring. The education is unparalleled. I have never had a day where I felt unlucky to be a student. I absolutely love it here and would highly recommend it to anyone. Coming here has probably been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I cannot imagine attending any other school- I love it!
I attend Dominican Academy, and I truly believe it has set me up for life. DA is not only a challenging environment, but an encouraging school which shows every girl's potential and what she can do to help others. If I could go back, I would still choose DA knowing the incredible high school experience and friends I have now. It's fantastic.
My daughter started at D.A. in September. She finds the academics challenging and the atmosphere socially rewarding. The teachers, counselors and administration are all so welcoming and attentive. The beauty of the neighborhood adds to it's charm. My daughter and I couldn't have chosen a better school. It is a bit more expensive than some of the other schools, but well worth it!
I am a parent of a DA student. This is definitely a school for intelligent articulate young women or girls who aim to be excellent students of high moral standing. ALL classes are honors classes or AP. This school focuses on good values and prepping for a college education. The girls take pride in how the wear their uniform and representing a school with fine principles. Students do community service and are encouraged to engage in issues facing society. Great sports: soccer, basketball and volleyball. Parents are welcome and encouraged to be a part of student's education. Intimate environment girls are friendly and of high morel fiber. Yes, if you don't like that girls don't smoke anywhere near the school. You should probably try a different school. This school is a rarity, a true gem. You can tell when you attend an open house and see all the successful alumni that come back to share their admiration and appreciation for their education and friendship they forged while here! I am grateful my daughter is in this school. She loves it!
DA offers an excellent education . Colleges visit the seniors and meet with the girls during their lunch. Girls are well prepared for college. They learn soft skills needed as well as their academic subjects. I am a parent and my daughter cannot say enough good things about this school. She loves her classmates and always wants to attend school functions. There is a lot of work and it is not easy. Events, classes, trips and activities are of the highest caliber. Sister Barbara heads a school that prepares young women for academic success.
Top tier Catholic school. High energy prep school for girls. Renovated Science lab, Only one Lab partner. Top of the line equipment. Newly renovated classrooms, equipment overhaul. Parents painted the school. Amazing This school welcomes girls and their families. Amazing parquet floors, crystal chandlers, marble fireplaces girls this smart and this respectable deserve the best.
I wouldn't be who I am or where I am today in the world without the education and experiences that I had at Dominican Academy. DA's academics, especially history, language and communications all inspired me and pushed me to learn more as I moved on well prepared for college. I loved the small school environment, 4 years of varsity softball (3x CHSAA Champs), 2 years of varsity basketball and soccer, and DANCE. Not many students can say they went to school in a mansion on the Upper East Side, and dance was a requirement. Nearing on 10 years past my graduation, I still go back to DA and volunteer at Open Houses to tell prospective students how much I loved DA and why they will love DA too. I cannot imagine having attended any other school. Veritas.
My daughter has attended DA for the past four years and will be graduating in June. I am continuously amazed at how articulate she speaks, and am awed to see how she has developed into a critical thinker. Both of these attributes are sourly lacking in many job candidates that I have interviewed recently. The staff of educators at DA are dedicated to each student, takes an interest in each girl, and genuinely cares for the whole student. Parents are very engaged and welcoming, and the principal is a warm, loving, and disciplined individual. I can't say enough about this school, it is a gem and deserves 6 stars.
I am a proud Dominican Academy alumna. I first attended another all-girls high school (3x more expensive than D.A. even 10+ years ago) and transferred. The academics were just as competitive at D.A. but the sense of community was unlike any other I've experienced -- girls were truly kind and caring, teachers knew every student by name. Dominican Academy prepared me well for college, law school, and life. I make it a point to only hire D.A. interns at my law firm, and they, along with all the current D.A. students I have the pleasure of meeting at Open House and mentoring throughout the year, uphold the traditions and values of a school and a sisterhood that I am privileged to be a part of.
I went to DA and thought it was...okay. It was rather small and cramped and we had no gym. All we had was a dance class that seemed like more of a time filler. We had running club when I was there, but that is no substitute for sports (which I hear they have now). This school portrays itself as being very prestigious, but that is just a way to attract people. Sure it looks fancy inside, but that does not mean you have to be a genius to attend this school. That is not something some of the smart DA ladies would like to hear. They are quite intellectual and condescending when their pretending not to study (sorry about the typo ladies). You have to take two languages and they have some AP courses, but so do a lot of high schools. One cannot smoke within a "one mile radius" of DA because you have to keep up the DA image. This is essential because DA above, all is, about how it appears to outsiders. I do not really recommend this school if you live in the outer boroughs. Sure it is in the middle of New York City, but the hike in and out is not worth it for what you get when you arrive there. You could probably get the same education in Queens or Brooklyn.
I went to DA in the early 1950's and I can say without a shred of doubt, that this school equipped me with outstanding skills - academically, socially and spiritually. I am equally as comfortable in the presence of royalty as well as with the lesser educated. There should be more schools like this - or other schools should adapt to their methods of instilling 'class' and perhaps the current generations would contribute more to socially acceptable behavior by utilizing GOOD MANNERS!
As a senior, I don't regret going to Dominican Academy and I want other girls to have the same great experience as me. It's very easy to make friends in every grade and to get to know everyone in your grade since everyone is so close-knit! The biggest class I ever had was 20 people so even the required classes have a lot of teacher-student interaction. They know your name and get to know your personality. AP classes and electives are even smaller classes so the teachers are always there to help! DA has a surprisingly large amount clubs, sports, APs, and electives compared to its small size. For parents, the parents association is very active because it holds many of DA's traditions like the mother-daughter luncheon and father-daughter dance. The school is very accessible by trains and buses. Many of my classmates commute even from Yonkers, New Jersey, and Long Island. The school building itself is very unique and beautiful because it is a townhouse. You have to visit to see it for yourself!
From the moment I walked through the halls of Dominica Academy (DA) in Manhattan, I knew that this was one of the schools that I would like my daughter to attend. But there were questions: How to come up with the tuition for all four years? Will she be happy and fulfilled in an all-girls school? Will she get enough exercises without a gym in the school? And will she miss out on wearing fashionable clothing in place of a school uniform? While my brain was searching for answers, my heart reminded me that: Jesus looked at them and said, With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Mathew 19:26 (NIV). My daughter was accepted to a specialized high school and other excellent public and catholic high schools, but the school which I asked God for guidance that would give her a both academic and spiritual education was Dominican Academy. The school has a full curriculum including clubs, service and volunteer work. My daughter is happy so far, and I hope that she will continue to grow and thrive at Dominican Academy. Go and visit DA and feel the enthusiasm of the students and the school s spirit.
Premiere Catholic Girl Schools are EXTREMELY hard to find ... A school with the history of DA (in existence since 1897) places it in a class all of its own! The academic challenges and the emphasis on the development of young Catholic women into outstanding adults has been a hallmark of DA since it's inception. DA is not "Catholic High School Musical" and it does not pretend to be. DA is a serious institution which places the highest priority in providing young Catholic women with the very best academic challenges in New York City. Not every student is suited for DA, but if you are you are interested in providing your daughter with the very best education possible, DA is the place for her!.

Vertical or Horizontal?
We know this is not a savory topic, but our DW is convinced that our habit likens us to the town idiot. In our defense, we find that the wide applicator is too wide for us to apply comfortably, and prefer the vertical approach because it puts the deodorant where we want it and not all over the place.
Is this wrong? Does anyone else in the world find these wide applicators a poor shape for their musclebound physique?
27 Comments
I use a spray deodorant (no anti-perspirant), but I only use it about once every 2 weeks or so (I don't really need it).
Roll-ons do not present that conundrum; curious as to why that isn't a clickable button on there for that.
Not a savory topic? I'm not even going to finish reading this post... there are people in the audience that most definitely find the whole subject savory and I think we all know some of them... No, I'm not one of the lucky few. Now I'm going back to finish the post.
Oh, my Lord... We all have entrely too much free time.
And I thought the Great Toilet Paper Debate was stupid... The last thing I expected to see on this site was a close up of some dude's armpit. Gross.
Wait a minute -- my calendar doesn't say April 1st!?!?!
I'm with Lori and Frank.
oh come on, people, lighten up!
I'm not sure what all the complaining is about. This is the kind of hard hitting journalism that has launched weblogs into the main stream...I'm just glad that Apartment Therapy has the guts to report what the MSM would never dare to touch.
next up: Brushing, up and down, or sideways?
please don't show a close-up of a pit ever again.
Whoa, as I was scrolling, I thought it was a pic of another hairy area...
My biggest concern is anyone in the office wondering what I'm laughing at. Every day can always use a bit of silliness. Thanks!
Just goes to show you, different things gross different people out. BTW, why do you think that's a male armpit?
I think this and the tp discussion are very well suited for a Friday.
Maxwell, the only thing I find objectionable here is the use of "DW" -- absolutely hate those cheesy internet expressions for our family members. Perfect bit of silliness for a beautiful, fall Friday. And so dead-on about how those privy to our personal habits can make us feel like such imbeciles. By the way, that's aluminum-free deodorant, right? :)
I don't even know what DW is. Duh. Domestic wingnut?
Dear wife. (I'm gagging as I type this.)
Oh, right - I hate those cheesy internet acronyms too. Who came up with those, anyway?
I wonder if Jon B. is actually my ex-boyfriend who also insisted he didn't need deodorant. Guess what? You do. Once every 2 weeks? I can't even imagine a scenario that would make that OK. If you lay flat on your back, in a cool room, naked, on balls of cotton without movement all day, you might be stink-free. But if you do any exercise at all the thought of this makes me cringe. And if I am wedged under your armpit as your reach up to the bar for stability on the subway, I will hate you a little.
OMG. People worry about which way to apply deodorant? I'd be more concerned about screwing in a lightbulb the right way.
rr, you win for best comment.
And I must admit that before this morning, it never even occurred to me to apply vertically.
I may try it tomorrow morning for kicks.
(Suddenly very self-conscious as I reread my comment about doing it "for kicks" and CERTAIN this is a reason why I'm single. Must get out more.)
Apply in a "W" then fill in.
Oh, wait, that's how to paint a wall with a roller. Nevermind.
Patrick (the other one), I think I'm in love with you.
I read this on Friday and laughed a bit (and wondered again why women "have" to shave their pits but guys don't - and no, I didn't assume it was a guy's pit!)...but on Saturday morning when the deodorant came out, I remembered...
I have never, ever given this question a second's thought before in my life.
Mia, methinx there's heartbreak ahead.
It's simple: sweat plus bacteria equals BO. My pits rarely perspire and scrub them at least once a day.
Wanna go out?
Does the picture on the right remind anyone else of the scene in that Cheech and Chong movie where they're using dildo shaped deodorant?
And that's obviously a man's armpit. Without or without the hair.
Mia, methinx we're ALL in love with him.

One of my only heterosexual encounters was a not entirely painless blowjob from a girl with braces. After that I was done with the opposite sex for good.
Oh, before that I dated a girl with the biggest boobs in my entire high school, and I was the only one who never noticed them.

I watched the movie Tommy last night for the first time in approximately 35 years. I enjoyed it.
edit actually, to make this alleged confession even more banal, I will add a story about my musical development as a 13-year-old suburban white kid (in Ohio, at the time). I got the Tommy soundtrack because I was a serious Elton John fan at that age and you know Pinball Wizard and all that. I didn't know hardly anything about The Who -- I think I kept getting them confused with The Guess Who, actually -- and so this soundtrack was my first real introduction. I had the soundtrack memorized front and back well before I ever heard the actual original Who album. When I finally did, I thought it sounded really strange, underproduced, quiet even, and really to this day it doesn't sound right to me. It wasn't until I saw the Woodstock movie that I realized that the real genius in that stuff did lie with the band after all.
A priest called me arrogant yesterday. The priest was a dick.

This person claims that 99% of all reviewers are liars and he is writing the truth?
We know THIS IS A FAKE REVIEW just to down rate Proforms.
Just a small note to the "reviewer": We have software which can detect and compare reviews by the style of language and the writing style.
After we will have localized the cheater (s)he will have nothing more to laugh ;)
1.)Almost all of our reviewers (99%) leave a name which shows us from whom the review is. Not this one.
2.)The username could be found neither in our customer database, nor in our ticket system. Not even parts did match on any customer of us.
3.) The username or any further interpretation of the username couldn't be found in our email correspondences of the last 2 years. There were no topics matching to the "review".
4.) We hadn't even one user which was not satisfied in the last 2 months.
5.) The very first thing a real customer does is to open a ticket and ask us until the problem is solved. As already mentioned no matching names in the ticket system and no matching topics in the ticket system.
6.) There is a full documented PDF handbook of Proforms for free.
Even if this would be a real user and, let's say be "handicapped", he/she could read the manual and would be able to understand everything within a day.
7.) Please note that the review doesn't point any special functional issues. This is because the "reviewer" doesn't use and thereby doesn't know the software.

HURON, S.D. (AP) - Closing arguments are expected Friday in the trial of a South Dakota bar owner accused of raping three girls after serving them alcohol.
Prosecutors allege 35-year-old Werner Fajardo provided alcohol to a 12-year-old and two 14-year-old girls at his El Cuervo bar in Huron and assaulted them. He's pleaded not guilty.
On Thursday, the three girls took to the stand to testify. The 14-year-old girls recounted how she blacked out after consuming alcohol and awoke to Fajardo performing a sexual act on her.
The 12-year-old girl testified she was assaulted multiple times while passing in and out of consciousness.
Fajardo's defense lawyer said there are a number of inconsistencies between the girls' testimony and what they reported to authorities.

Peel, core and cut the apples into eighths. Place in a saucepan with the piece of lemon peel. Add enough cold water to come halfway up the apples. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg and grated zest and beat until pale and fluffy. Fold in the sifted flour and baking powder.
Press half the dough into a sponge roll tin or long tart tin (11cm x 35cm). Top with drained apples (discard peel). Place remaining dough on baking paper and, using lightly floured hands, shape into a lid. Flip on top of apple and smooth any breaks together with your fingers.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden. Cool on a rack before serving with a generous dusting of icing sugar.

Wine Spectator
"Bright, saturated medium ruby. Primary, high-pitched aromas of blackberry, violet, licorice and crushed stone, accented by a whiff of pepper. Dense, sappy and savory on entry, then superconcentrated and smooth in the middle, with terrific peppery, minerally energy and lift. No easy sweetness here. Extremely unevolved yet utterly silky wine, offering superb inner-mouth tension. Most impressive today on the rising, perfumed back end, which feature noble tannins and outstanding verve. This complex expression of soil is likely to be a long-distance runner.Rating: 94(+?)"
