I never liked it before, but now in my 50's I smelled a soap made with it and fell in love. I bought some essential oil and am experimenting to find the effect I am looking for. I am leaning towards making some type of soap.

If you were alive during the sixties, you most likely know the scent of patchouli, even if you don't know that's what it's called. You probably even have an opinion on it, whether positive or negative. Patchouli was a very popular scent among the counterculture, featured in both perfume oils and incense, often burned to disguise other burning odors.
But did you know patchouli is a plant? The familiar fragrance is derived from a distillation of the leaves of the patchouli plant into an essential oil, which is often used today in modern perfumery. The scent is rich and earthy, combining a floral sweetness - even though it is made from leaves - with a musky scent reminiscent of fresh-turned soil. Some people loathe the scent and say it smells like dirt, while others adore its vivid and powerful fragrance.
Originally grown in the East Indies, patchouli was a popular fragrance for centuries and even used as a flavoring herb in foods. Because patchouli was believed to repel moths, Asian silk and cashmere manufacturers would sprinkle it in the shipping containers they sent to markets in Europe. The cloth was imbued with the exotic scent, which became associated in Western minds with the romance of far-away places. Patchouli is now grown commercially in hot southern climates.
Metaphysically and magically, patchouli is associated with both love and money, an unusual combination, and is therefore often used to attract a rich mate. You can make your own richness enhancing perfume oil by adding 10 to 15 drops of patchouli oil, some cinnamon oil and vetiver to a 15 milliliter bottle, then filling the bottle with a scentless blending oil such as grapeseed or apricot kernel oil. Don't apply essential oils directly to your skin, as some of them are quite strong and can burn. To make a light perfume spray, let handfuls of the dried herb steep in vodka for several weeks, then strain the alcohol off the herb. This scented alcohol, called a patchouli tincture, can be diluted with water to make a cologne spray and blended with other tinctures to create your own personalized scent.

I love patchouli oil. When I wear it, I get asked out on dates by nice, handsome, usually well off men.
Post 10
My neighbor wears this vile stuff! I also have an asthma attack every time I am around her. She is a lovely lady but that smell will keep us from being "visiting friends".

It is my signature perfume. I love this scent. You either love it or hate it. It isn't a scent for everyone. We all have a different body chemistry!

I am allergic to incense, but I tried patchouli incense and it does not give me an allergic reaction. I love the smell and how it calms me down.
Post 7
I grew up in the era when this scent was very popular. I still love it and use the soaps.
Post 6
Patchouli is amazing. It reminds me of when I was a child and played in the woods behind the house I grew up in.
Post 5
I've always loved Patchouli oil. It's woodsy earthy scent is very 'grounding' and calming. As someone who grew up in the 60's I was exposed to it often.
Post 4
I love the stuff and am amazed at how many people either really like it or really don't like it. I think it's rich.
Post 3
It is the most vile smell i have ever come across. A co-worker wears this and i have an asthma attack every time i am around her.
Post 2
after being exposed to Patchouli, I think it's nasty. It stinks and clings to everything around it. i'd rather get sprayed by a skunk.
Post 1
I am using garlic (orally) and patchouli oil externally and am able to deter mosquitoes from biting me!

Warner Bros. Shuts Down ElfQuest Movie So As Not To Compete with 'The Hobbit'
This weekend, Wendy Pini posted this to the official ElfQuest Facebook:
After close to four years of suspense - and longer than four years of your much-appreciated interest and support - the word has come down from Warner Bros. And the word is "no." Their simple explanation is that they don't want to compete with "The Hobbit." This was a possibility, among several, that we were prepared for. It is a relief, at last, to know.
So…where that leaves us is that Wendy has done all she can, for three decades, with regard to an Elfquest movie. There is nothing more she can do or wants to do. As for Richard, he will continue to manage Warp Graphics' properties and pursue publishing and licensing opportunities.
Thank you so much for all your love and encouragement. Believe us, it has not fallen on bare rock. We will spend the next few years producing Elfquest "The Final Quest." Then, who knows? Our capacity for dreaming big has not diminished.
I can't say that makes much sense. Apart from the vast differences in story, it would make sense to me that Warner Brothers would want a new fantasy movie/franchise to follow up the two Hobbit movies. Hopefully they'll look back into it in a few years.

Morehead Writing Project
Real Teachers, Real Leaders. Real Results
National Days On Writing
The Morehead Writing Project will join forces with Morehead State University's Camden-Carroll Library, Center for Leadership and Professional Development, Center for Regional Engagement, and Tutoring and Learning Center to offer Eastern Kentucky educators and students the opportunity to join events marking the fifth annual National Day On Writing sponsored by the National Writing Project and National Council of Teachers of English.
The Morehead celebration will span five days and kick off on Sunday, Oct. 20, with a writing prompt available through social media and on the campus of Morehead State University. The National Council of Teachers of English will host a Twitter chat (#nctechat) at 8 p.m. ET as part of the national celebration.
Monday will feature another writing prompt available through social media and on campus (those who share their writing in the Camden-Carroll Library Commons will be eligible to win daily door prizes and if they wear their sticker down to Coffeetree Books they may get another prize). The national conversation on Twitter will focus on writing to connect and use the hashtag #write2connect.
The Morehead activities to celebrate writing will continue through Thursday when the Morehead Writing Project brings more than 200 regional teens to campus for a Teen Writers Day Out writing marathon and invites MSU students, faculty, and staff to join in as their schedule allows.
Writers and teachers of writers throughout the region are invited to use our prompts for their own writing as well as to lead student writing activities. Older students should be urged to share their work via social media (use #NDOW and #WEKY hashtags on Twitter and Google+ or post directly on our Facebook event page) but teachers can also share collections of their student works with MWP so we can publish this work as part of our 2013 National Day On Writing archive.
Please let us know if your class or school is participating in the National Day On Writing in 2013. We hope everyone in Eastern Kentucky will join us for five days of writing celebrations. We want to make sure everyone knows about Writing Eastern Kentucky!

It was my privilege to hear my good friend and fellow geo-evangelist, Dr. Vernon Domingo share ideas on the importance of integrating geographic analysis in historical inquiry.

This short video has been added to the the interactive map, Place-Based Geography Videos. This depiction of street foods in German cities is a rich, tangible example to show cultural patterns and processes. Currywurst is a unifying force across socioeconomic classes in Germany, but it is also a product of globalization and cultural interactions across regions. Culture is not static and this New York Times video can be used to teach the various concepts of culture; per the updated APHG outline, the initial concepts of culture are:

The story of the Red Delicious is almost a perfect analogy for the food industry. It was genetically selected for its marketable skin, an aesthetically sumptuous red. The skin of the Red Delicious better covers bruises than other varieties and tastes more bitter. Consumers were buying what the industry promoted and "eating with their eyes and not their mouths." But recently there has been a backlash in the United States and more American consumer are seeking out other varieties; meanwhile the apple producers are working on exporting this variety to around the world, but especially into Chinese markets.

Jennifer Brown's curator insight, September 29, 12:40 PM
I loved this article for so many reasons! One who doesn't love an old man who sticks it to the grocery store managers? Two this is a perfect example of what humans do to everything they touch. To munipulate an apples genetics so much that it no longer exists? Seriously? What ever happen to if it aint broke don't fix it? This is also the prime example of how we are as a society. As long as everything is shiny and pretty on the outside don't worry about the inside. Red Delicious apples have a nice attractive outside but the inside is usually blah..
I'll stick to my Honeycrisps!

Hong Kong is probably the only place under the control of the People's Republic of China (PRC) where protests of this type against the government could have started. Hong Kong, once administered by the UK, was turned over to the PRC, but with special conditions that grant Hong Kong residents greater freedoms than those available the rest of the citizens of mainland China (One China, two systems). Hong Kong students are protesting for full universal suffrage and for the right to choose their own candidates--something that Beijing is not willing to concede; some autonomy yes, power to make further breaks with Beijing? No. In addition to political control, some students feel economically marginalized by Beijing's policies. In 1997, when Hong Kong became a part of the PRC, it represented 18% of the GDP of the country; today it is only 3% of the PRC's economic output. The Chinese govt. is currently blocking Instagram, trying to prevent the spread of viral images that show discontent. Still have questions? You are not the only one as the world turns it's gaze to China wondering about the strength of the Communist Party and the collective will of the protestors.

This is an old clip, but a useful platform to discuss the ethics involved in using geospatial technologies, the expectations of privacy and issues of governance. This could also be used to discuss urban political geography and principles of planning. What are the limits to the legal and ethical uses of technologies?

I think this is a good tool to the authorities to keep a eye on criminal people. Some people may feel that some one is always watching you because of these, but lets see the good side, this could help the police to find criminals or illegals activities. In my opinion these is a good idea.

The New Zealand Prime Minster, John Key, thinks that the country deserves a new flag and will vote on it next year. The New Zealand flag depicts the Southern Cross star constellation (in red stars) as well as Britain's Union Jack in the upper left corner. Those promoting change feel that the symbolism is too similar to the Australian flag (with white stars above) and does not reflect New Zealand's independence from Britain. During Scotland's bid for independence, the status of the UK's fabled Union Jack was in doubt, and many in New Zealand began to question the wisdom of tying their national symbols to other countries that might change in the future.

How have you been touched by the cultural thread of music?
Music is more than just a communication .. more than a commodity.
Music inspires and transcends .. it bears our reflection and our aspiration.
And it carries our traditions.
More than that, it is the doorway into reality for those who are lost.
Please share your story of how music has brought you home?

Jun 9 2013: I think music is a medium that we, as an observer/listener, have very little control over. The act of music coming into your ear is far different from watching a film or reading a book, which I personally believe have more interaction with the viewer and more viewer control. I say this because just as smell can trigger a illustrious reconstruction of a bygone memory, I feel sound can do the same with bringing out strong feelings and senses of imagery where you don't have that luxury in film and the words of a novel must be read first before interpretation; there is this continuity about listening to music that is uniquely intimate.
Under those regards, I find that my favorite pieces of music to listen to have a sense of a catharsis, one the brings out a plethora of emotions. As an individual struggling with general anxiety disorder, I find this to not just be fun but also therapeutic. I was happy to see music helping out Ji-Hae Park as well.

This is the logic of anti-choice legislation taken to its extreme.
A law under consideration in South Dakota would expand the definition of "justifiable homicide" to include killings that are intended to prevent harm to a fetus—a move that could make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. The Republican-backed legislation, House Bill 1171, has passed out of committee on a nine-to-three party-line vote, and is expected to face a floor vote in the state's GOP-dominated House of Representatives soon.
It's clear this bill likely has the goal of inciting violence–murder–of abortion providers. But I think this logic can actually be taken a step further, to include the murder of a pregnant woman herself.
Often one connection between anti-choice legislation that isn't talked about is how it affects the rights of pregnant women who do want to parent. I'm talking about the rights of pregnant women to decide what kind of medical treatment they will seek–and not necessarily abortion.
There is an incredible battle going on around the country about the rights of pregnant women to refuse certain types of medical care (as the rest of us are legally entitled to do). In numerous cases, women have been forced against their will to have c-sections or other medical procedures in the name of the protecting the fetus.
This proposed legislation takes that logic to it's extreme–not only is it okay to super-cede the autonomy and rights of pregnant women in the name of the fetus–you could actually justifiably murder her in pursuit of this as well. In addition, of course, to doctors performing perfectly legal and constitutionally protected abortions.
Can we agree to stop calling them pro-life now?
Update: The Sponsor of the bill, Rep. Gensen, says allowing for the murder of abortion providers is not his intent with the law. The problem is, the language in the bill is really vague, leaving all sorts of interpretation up to the courts if the bill becomes law. This is an often employed tactic–made language vague, say something different about your intent, but hope for other consequences. Don't buy the BS folks.

In response to:
This has become a secular society. Tear down Christianity, that's the ticket to money and profit and good reviews in The New York Times. Many people today will do things for pleasure. It's emphasized in the tv shows, movies, and the news we see on tv. There are still many good moral people in this country, but you won't see them in the mainstream media. But unfortunately, there seems to be fewer moral people today then there was when I was a kid back in the early 1960's. I think this country will eventually pay a price for this.

Opra once did a show setting up situations to see how people would react. She was amazed at how honorably many people reacted under duress. She wondered where the courage and goodness came from. They were probably all people of faith. Too bad she was ignorant of the probability.
A Christian can be crushed gazing at the picture of Mary standing at the foot of the cross, watching her beloved son suffocate and die. But in that vision, she stands there for hours, patiently enduring her suffering. For two millennia, she has been a role model for Christians, a woman who practiced obedience in the most difficult of human circumstances, with fervent hope for what this sacrifice will offer all mankind as it struggles with sin.
This is why it seems so hard to reflect that vision of patience when black-hearted "artists" practice character assassination on the Blessed Virgin...

Happy PALs
Approximately 300 youth and 30 teen leaders from Henrico Police Athletic League traveled to Washington, D.C. June 28 for a day trip planned and coordinated by HPAL board member Raiford Beasley and led by Sgt. Kenny Ragland.
At their first stop, the group attended a half-hour memorial service for fallen Henrico County police officers at the National Police Memorial. Sue and Richard Cheney presented a floral wreath at the memorial in honor of their daughter, Virginia State Trooper Jessica J. Cheney of Henrico, who was killed in the line of duty. Beasley also read the name of Henrico officers who died in the line of duty, and Sgt. J.A. Livingstone played Amazing Grace on the bagpipes to close the service.
Following the tribute, the campers enjoyed a picnic lunch in the shade of the trees on the Mall lawn and proceeded to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, where they admired King's statue and gathered for group photos.
The campers concluded their trip with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, where HPAL board member Don Blake remarked that "the enormity of sacrifice of our military was evident, and absorbed in solemn and respectful observation."
Blake, who accompanied the group to record the day's activities with video and photographs, observed that all the campers clearly enjoyed the trip – despite the hot weather.
"It was another great day of HPAL youth making memories," said Blake.

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

It's a film about Bob Ladouceur, coach of the De La Salle High Spartans, a California high school football team with 12 consecutive undefeated seasons (a staggering 151 games won in a row).
Along the way, Ladouceur (played by Jim Caviezel) faced the kind of hardship most football coaches (thankfully) can only imagine – suffering a near-fatal heart attack, the death of a star player, and rebuilding the team after that 151-game streak came to a humiliating end. > Read more.

Hello gents. Wasn't too active the past years, so I'll start fresh. Time to rebuild.
^^Hah... and then another 2 years and I decide to try again.... I really don't like this first image in the thread...this mechanical thing below, something about it always bugs me, oh well. Here's some random face doodles from early 2009 instead.

hey! good to see a post from you!
that walker thing is cool... can't wait to see more.
Woo, love your work, glad to see some new stuff!
Welcome back
Love you bastards, nice to see some familiar faces. I've been making sure to do at least one random painter concept each day, so here's another. My painter skills feel crusty, the contrasts here have no balls, and I know it. Something to work on.
Sprite I made a bit back.
Nice crispy designs here...
Crunchy too.
wow, great work. I love your style. when I start digital painting I am going to try to learn from your work.
Please visit my sketchbook.
that sprite is great!
Thanks guys. I've been doing some random studies of explosions and fires the past day.
Started off simple enough with a little fire speedpaint:
But, I thought it would be more fun to try an animated study of an explosion, so here's that:
Hey, Sinix! Long time no see! That animated explosion is great and that flying machine has some interesting shapes going on. I've always really liked your painting style. It has a cool 'choppy' quality to it (for lack of a better word).
Looking forward to more,
Ta, Nick.

cool explosion study, i've animated one of those myself (though i mostly lifted it from 'metal slug').

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I hope I get in the habit of doing animations here and there.
Here's todays mechanical doodle.

Great machines. I really dig the boot.
Is this a new SB? Really cool idea to do a rendered out explosion animation. The boot is really cool, and the end is very painful looking. Digging your colors too. I'm seeing stars. I recognized your stuff from that sprite..where have i seen that before? Hope to see more.

Is Cork the Best Wine Stopper?
When the issue of wine screw caps versus corks comes up, the message often seems to be this: metal caps are more practical, but people can't let go of the romanticism of corks. A recent article on Gizmodo says, forget romanticism. Corks are better in every way. Are they right?
Writer Rachel Swaby points out that cork has been successfully stoppering bottles for thousands of years. Its unique physical properties allow it to compress to half its size and resist decay, even when submerged in liquid for centuries. For long-cellared wines, the oxygen stored inside the cork also helps keep the small amount of sulfur dioxide within the wine from disintegrating and becoming smelly.
Oddly, the article doesn't mention cork's main drawback: cork taint, or the presence of the compound TCA, which gives "corked" wine an unpleasant wet cardboard taste. Screw cap wines don't suffer from this problem, which the cork industry says affects 1.2% of bottles. (A Wine Spectator study of 2,800 bottles found that 7% were tainted.)

What do you think? Do you prefer wine with corks, or are you a fan of screw caps?

Man-made "cork" solved the problem of cork taint. This will leave more cork for cork FLOORS! And yes, cork is amazing. Warm in the winter, cool in the summer, naturally anti-static and antimicrobial---it is a miracle wood.
It makes me crazy to see all these kitchens with hard tile flooring (whole houses now), when cork would be so much better for the legs and feet.
SunnyBlue - in arid parts of the world cork flooring curls and gets dusty within five years. Also, when the daily temperatures are over 90F for eight months a year, a hard tile floor is cool and comfortable.
My dad buys much finer wines than I'm willing to pay for and he tells me many of them are moving to screw tops. My cheap wines still use corks although about half of them are fake.
I like the ritual of uncorking a bottle of wine and will miss corks if they're replaced by screw tops. But I guess you can't argue with the bottom line.
Our go-to white wine recently switched to screw cap from cork (prior to this we had an entire case go bad). I took a bottle to a friend's house and I noticed her eyebrows when she saw the screw cap. She tasted the wine and said how surprised she was. She assumed it was a low quality wine.
It really is something I can't get out of my head, but when I see screw top wine, I walk away. It could be amazing but part of wine to me is uncorking that bottle.
And like was mentioned earlier- I though plastic man made corks were virtually perfect. No corked wine, no cheap looking screw top and lasts forever.
actually, another good reason to use real cork is to save the cork plantations in the Mediterranean region! they house a very diverse community of animals and other life forms and they, developers are just waiting to put their hands on them!
Wine industry dork here-- my policy is that screwcaps are equal or superior to corks for all wines except those that are intended to be aged for an exceptionally long time (think old school Barolo) in which case the slight porousness of cork is preferable to the complete seal of a screwcap.
Few things are more frustrating than showing a customer a bottle of wine that is perfect for their needs and having them turn their nose up at it because it has a screwcap. (No offense to any commenters, I understand the appeal of corks! Just workplace venting...)
plch hit it, the spoilage - be it 1.2% or 7% may be a viable eco-tax for the privilige of preserving a unique ecosystem. But I also understand the benefits. Kingfisher's comment hits the balance. Cork for appropriate use, screwcaps/artificial ditto. That said - i do like the romance of popping a cork.
(should read "I understand the benefits of the alternatives.") - eep.
In Australia screw caps are becoming ubiquitous and I love them. They are so practical that I see a screw cap as a benefit when picking a wine to take out with me. My partner who works in hospitality really dislikes man made cork because they are generally more difficult to remove.
On a recent trip to the states I was surprised by the clear preference for cork, even man made cork, and the sense of romanticism attached to it. My friend even used corks to hold the seating cards at her wedding.

Substance Abuse and Addiction Health Center
Substance Abuse in Older Adults - Topic Overview
Warning signs of substance abuse
Below are some of the warning signs of alcohol or drug abuse in older adults. Signs can include changes in your behavior as well as changes in your mental abilities.
If you notice any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, talk to your doctor. Tell your doctor about the drinking or medicine use, including over-the-counter medicines, herbs, and dietary supplements. Tell your doctor about any alcohol or drug use in the past.
Changes in behavior
You may have a drug or alcohol problem if:
- You fall a lot.
- You are not able to make it to the bathroom in time (incontinence).
- You are having more headaches and dizziness than usual.
- You are not keeping yourself clean.
- You have changed what and how you eat. You may not eat as much, for example.
- You begin to ignore and lose touch with your family and friends.
- You begin to think about suicide.
- You begin to have legal or money problems.
Changes in mental abilities
Here are some mental signs of drug or alcohol abuse:
- You begin to feel anxious a lot of the time.
- Your memory becomes worse.
- It's hard for you to focus or make decisions.
- You lose interest in your usual activities.
- You have mood swings or feel sad or depressed.
If you have any of these signs, it may not mean you have a drug or alcohol problem. Many of the signs listed here also can be signs of health problems many older adults have. Changes in behavior also could be signs of stress.
Drinking or abusing medicine or drugs often starts after a big change in your life. Retiring, the death of a spouse or good friend, leaving your home, and being diagnosed with a disease all can trigger substance abuse. If a life-changing event happens to you or a loved one, watch for signs of drug or alcohol abuse.
Treatment for alcohol or drug abuse in older adults is the same treatment as for younger people. Detoxification, medicine, counseling, therapy, and 12-step programs all may be used.
If medicine misuse or abuse is the problem, sometimes talking to a doctor, friend, or family member about the problem can help. Treatment could be as simple as learning more about your medicines and organizing how you take them. You may be able to work with your doctor to cut back on how many medicines you take or make it easier to take them.
Your success in treatment is strongly linked to admitting that you have a problem and to your desire to stop misusing or abusing alcohol or drugs.

List of recent publications
A critical issue for radiation countermeasure development is the limited number of animal models suitable for countermeasure testing under the FDA Animal Rule. We are characterizing the minipig as an additional large-animal model for advanced drug testing for the Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS). Our previous work has shown that the minipig is a suitable model for longitudinal blood sampling in irradiated, immunocompromised animals, and that the hematopoietic sub-syndrome of the ARS closely mimics that in humans in terms of clinical signs, symptoms and kinetics of blood cell depletion and recovery.
Administration of G-CSF, the standard cytokine treatment for radiation injury, provided protection and hematological recovery as expected from other models. Utility of the minipig for ex vivo and in vivo biodosimetric studies was confirmed by the similarity in response between human and porcine samples of gamma-H2AX, a surrogate marker for double-strand breaks and a potential tool for quickly assessing exposure to radiation.
My current research interests include understanding the pathophysiology of radiation injury and validating the minipig as a large-animal model for ARS in adult and pediatric populations, for radiation countermeasure efficacy testing.

Would You Miss Him If He Were Gone?
The Edmonton Oilers have one space left on their 50 man roster and they have one key player to re-sign... A defenceman... A restricted free agent... A potential superstar in the making...
My Biggest Fear
There are some concerns regarding the Edmonton Oilers going into the 2014-15 season.
- How will the new acquisitions turn out?
- How about that hole at center on the second line?
- Will the goaltending hold up?
- Which rookie is going to hold their own and make it past the 9 game mark?
- How far will Nugent-Hopkins and Yakupov bounce back if at all?
Those are all valid fan-worthy concerns but the one that is nagging me the most is...
Summer time has come off with a BANG for our Edmonton Oilers!
Kaiser Scorze (Leon Draisaitl) has finally arrived. Along with Teddy Purcell (At the expense of Sam Gagner.) Mark Fayne, Benoit Pouliot, Nikita Nikitin, and Keith Aulie are all in as well! All of a sudden the Oilers are starting to resemble an NHL team! An NHL team with size.
But there's one thing that hasn't been touched on and maybe it's early days yet but that no.2 center hole hasn't been addressed yet.
Welcome to Edmonton Kaiser Scorze!
The Edmonton Oilers took German Superkid Leon Draisaitl with the 3rd pick overall in the 2014 NHL Entry draft.
I've bestowed upon him the name... Kaiser Scorze!
L'Homme Nikita!
Edmonton Oilers GM Craig MacTavish completed the signing of left handed Russian defenceman Nikita Nikitin today and thus sent back the draft pick he acquired for Nick Schultz from the Columbus Blue Jackets at the most recent trade deadline.
This is the final installment of El Mocko 2014! Picks 26-30!!
Check out our previous selections below:
1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, 21-25
Let's Get It On!!
Round 5 is on the horizon and this is where the rubber hits the road! The top 10 are never that hard to project but the bottom 10 are nearly impossible!
Take some time to go over who we picked in previous posts below!
1-5, 6-10, 11-15, and 16-20
The 4th round of the 2014 Mock Draft Battle is now!

I understand you guys are upset that Justin Bieber finally got arrested for driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol but let's not be ignorant. We all know he's been getting negative press and anyone would be depressed because of it. That doesn't mean that just because he was on anti-depressants that he is suicidal. Do you even realize that people actually have medical depression but they aren't suicidal? This isn't a revelation. He isn't the first person to take anti-depressants. Everyone gets depressed. There are people who take anti-depressant pills and can still function in daily life. You're treating this like he's a four year old. Whenever he's caught smoking you portray him as an adult who can make his own choices but when he messes up he's a depressed teen with deep issues.These double standards are ridiculous and he needs to learn a goddamn lesson. Just because he's Justin Bieber doesn't mean he's held at a higher regard than all of us.
And as for the Jared Padalecki fiasco, you all need to calm the hell down. Calling him untalented and bashing Supernatural is cowardly when about 98% of you haven't even watched the show therefore you can't say shit. If what he said "offended" then great. I hope you're happy with the taste of your own medicine. I think there's more for you to worry about than Jared talking about Justin. After all, he is the confused -depressed-fragile teen you claim him to be.
Most of you who are having a fucking bitch fit over this picture are either well into your twenties or ignorant as shit so I'd suggest you fix your bullshit before you call others delusional. And as for Jiley shippers, you should just sit the fuck down. No needs to hear your constant butthurt bitching. Please, let's take it down a notch 👌
I will once I stop failing math and science
I honestly don't have any time for this bullshit so you can stop.
I don't really know…other things are going on in my life that are both good and not so good that I need to work out
I have a lot of other shit to deal with as of late, so I could do without your shitty English and attitude, thank you. Feliz Navidad.
I'm not interested in all this bullshit and drama so yeah
I'm not really interested in the contents of this blog anymore…

For two nervous, skittish teams, the tone is set
Greg Baum If the first day of an Ashes series sets the tone, this one was irresolute, signalling one direction, then changing its mind.

But as impressive as the outside undoubtedly is, the interior really hits you between the eyes. Packed with new technology, the XF's cabin sets it apart from all its competitors. Classy, uncluttered and totally tactile, you won't want to get out once you're in. Eschewing the done-to-death cliff-face dashboards of every Jaguar over the past four decades, this one is clean and modern. The dash sits lower and swoops around in one simple, graceful line. Once the car registers that the driver is on board (thanks to the keyless entry fob), an illuminating ring surrounding the start button pulses red, just like a heartbeat. Press it and the engine rumbles into life, but something else happens: the air vents swivel around to do their job and a cylindrical metal gear selector rises effortlessly from the center console. It's totally, utterly cool.
Wood and leather still abound (there's more timber here than any Jag since the 1960s' MkII), but the look is contemporary. The front seats are smaller, giving a greater sense of space. The center console is nice and high, making the driver feel as though this is a sports car rather than a sedan. The steering wheel has been poached from the XK. It's at night, though, when the XF really comes to life.
Using cellphone technology, the controls are outlined in a solid neon blue. 'Theater' lighting spills upwards from the door pockets (again in blue) and the whole vibe is high-class nightclub. Everything looks and feels gorgeous-just like a Bang & Olufsen hi-fi system-you can't help touching everything. Jaguar has also been working closely with Apple to provide the coolest iPod integration ever seen in a car.
All this would be a complete waste of time if the XF drives like a dog. We won't get to test it for a few months, but the video footage we've seen shows chassis development guru Mike Cross powersliding, tire-smoking and generally behaving like a hooligan. The XF's sporting credentials seem to be intact and official performance figures are impressive.
Four engines will be available: a 210-hp V6 diesel, a 240-hp gasoline V6, a 300-hp V8 and the flagship 420-hp supercharged S-V8, which rushes from rest to 60 mph in just five seconds. Prices are in line with the outgoing S-Type (retired dentists can expect serious discounts on those). Rumors in the UK are that an M5-baiting R version with at least 500 hp is waiting in the wings. That really will be a Jag worth waiting for.
