I have one and it's excellent. It stinks though. But very useful for one nail at a time if you make a mess of just one. It has lots of uses. Great product.
I got it even cheaper but I can't remember the website. Sorry. I know it was under £2....Dammit.

I think they sell something similar at Superdrug. It's in a smaller pot, but is only like £2 or £3?
I've used this myself and loved it. I wish it was more easily available, though.
I loved your post on the Tesco Contact Lens Solution - in fact, I actually went out and bought some after reading it. It's really good!

Wow, £4! That's brilliant! I don't have many glitter polishes because of the fact that it's so hard to get off. Thank you for opening doors (and purses!) Hehe

I've used this before way back in the day... I agree it's fantastic for removing polish but yeah very drying.
I got mine from... a shop kinda like Savers, I think it went out of business but perhaps Savers has them?

oh thank you so much ... I was really looking for something like this! Haven't thought that it is such a problem to get a glitter nailpolish off.

I'd wanted to give this a go for a while, then spotted it in Poundland (yes, Poundland - £1!) so thought "well, why not!" - NEVER LOOKED BACK!
This stuff is just AMAZING. I love it. But now I never ever want to go back to normal nail varnish remover. This just makes my life so easy..!
So yeah, moral of the story: check out Poundland!
I've picked it up about 4 times in there - but now my stocks are running low & I've not seen it recently - always keep an eye out for it though!

I've seen the sally hansen stuff before but never knew what her products did. My gf had some in a gold pot but i dont think it was actually a colour. I'm guessing this stuff is hard to come by then if you recommend ebay to get it?

Thank you soo much! I got the Models Own Magenta anil polish at Christmas, and whilst I LOVE it, it's like staring into a pink glitter ball when you look at your nails, it was astonishingly hard to remove. I applied it once, took almost half an hour trying to remove it, and haven't applied it since, so thanks for finding a nail remover that will do the job for me nice & quick! Love you x

Bargnani on a curl? I don't remember the last time I've seen that.
Man, I love watching John Wall play, I hope he gets out of Washington soon complete waste of his talent.
I've seen highschool games with better technology than what wizards are using lol. That horn will keep the 20 fans from falling asleep.
derozan needs to be reminded this ain't the WNBA.... dunk that
"You dont know the Bruno Caboclo......"Bruno Caboclo
Basketball has clear winners every night --except at the draft, which is all homework, politics and chance.
Fouls now 8-3. Really need to keep the pressure on and try and get these guys into foul trouble. That's something I think the Raptors have done a really poor job of... drawing fouls early in the game and then failing to keep the pressure on and make the fouls a factor by the end of the game.
andrea playing well today
good finish to a mediocre 1st quarter
Great way to close the quarter I was getting worried with how close it was.
Rudy Gay is the only one who looks for JV
Jv and Bargs have been the worst defensive frontcourt for us this year if im not mistaken
edit: I mean when they are together
Edit 2: there goes jv
I swear what's with Rudy missing easy stuff at the rim?
The worst thing about Andrea is he is a big man that does not use his fouls, so many times see him finish games with only one or two. Use them!
AA back to his old self. And Rudy -- step it up dude. Seriously.

2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Apple iPad Air
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Women, Men, Techies, Under $500
Thanks to its vast ecosystem of apps, great performance, and a fantastic screen, the iPad Air earns a spot in our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide (see our iPad Air review.) Compared to the fourth-generation iPad, the iPad Air is nearly identical in terms of function, although it's much faster and also sports a better front camera for FaceTime chats. The big leap is in the design department, where the iPad Air just dominates on comfortability. The iPad Air is the best full-sized consumer tablet that you can get this holiday season.

2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Handhelds, Women, Men, Techies, Under $250, Under $500
The next item in Gear Live's 2013 Holiday Gift Guide is the Kindle Paperwhite. Why? well, as great as e-ink readers have been (and they've been pretty stellar,) since the original Amazon Kindle was released, their one tragic flaw has been that they become pretty useless in the dark. You either simply can't read them, or have to use a small light attachment accessory. Enter the Kindle Paperwhite. Amazon has designed what we consider to be the best e-ink reader to hit the market. It's flagship feature is the front-lit display, which works great when you're in the dark and want to read your latest ebook purchase without using a backlit tablet that's hard on the eyes, or an awkward clip-on light accessory. It also supports new features like telling you how much reading time you have before you finish your current chapter, and an all-touch display with virtually no lag. Check out our Kindle Paperwhite review, unboxing gallery, and video after the break for more, and head on over to Amazon to pick up the Kindle Paperwhite for $119 for that bookworm in your life.

By Andy Bottoms, Midwest Sports Fans
After a busy Saturday of action, just four automatic bids remain up for grabs. Of the eight teams slated to take the floor on Sunday, Ole Miss is the one that bubble teams will be most interested in, as the other seven teams are all safely in the field.
These projections have been updated through all games played on Saturday, March 16.
Please note one of the First Four games was moved to the 11 line based on scheduling and proximity to Dayton.
It's also worth noting that I made a change to one of the final teams in the field. As I mentioned last night, I wanted to take another look at things today, which led to La Salle getting into the field. We've all made some regrettable decisions at 1:30 in the morning, and my exclusion of the Explorers yesterday falls into that category. I plan to continue my review of the teams and seeds tonight and once again in the morning.
Last Four In
Saint Mary's
The Gaels gained ground by simply sitting back and watching other bubble teams lose. With just four top-100 wins and a mediocre strength of schedule, they shouldn't get too comfortable.
La Salle
I mentioned Friday night I wanted to take another look at the Explorers' profile, and I am glad that I did. They have just one sub-100 loss and wins over Butler and Villanova at home as well as VCU on the road. La Salle also has a winning record in road and neutral games, which should help its case.
Despite a quarterfinal loss to Alabama, I still have the Vols in the field. They played a solid non-conference schedule and are 9-10 against top-100 teams.
Middle Tennessee
Like Saint Mary's, MTSU was able to sit back and watch the carnage on Friday. The Blue Raiders are still in a precarious position with just one top-100 victory, but with such a soft bubble, I could see them being rewarded for playing the ninth-rated non-conference schedule and dominating their league in the regular season.
First Five Out
Ole Miss
My second look at La Salle pushed Ole Miss out of the field despite a win over Vanderbilt in the SEC semifinals. The Rebels' two best wins are over Missouri, but they played a very poor non-conference schedule and lost to both South Carolina and Mississippi State. To be fair, they swept Tennessee, but the Vols did far more in the non-conference, which I think will come into play with the committee.
The rest of these teams are in no particular order, and quite frankly I would be surprised to see any of them make it. The Cavaliers have some solid top-end wins, but seven sub-100 losses will be their undoing.
The Minutemen played well against VCU in stretches but came up short in the Atlantic-10 semifinals. A winning record away from home helps, but they have no top-25 wins and finished just 9-7 in the A-10 regular season.
Once again, Alabama was able to hang with Florida for a good portion of the game, but the Tide failed to pick up their first top-50 win of the season, which leaves them on the outside looking in. Four sub-100 losses don't help either.
A late comeback fell short against North Carolina and will mean a trip to the NIT for the Terps. They have two wins over Duke, but Maryland was just 3-7 in true road games and played an extremely weak non-conference schedule.
Here is how the bids broke out by conference (Note: Teams that have earned an automatic bid are denoted with a *):
Big East (8): Cincinnati, Georgetown, Louisville*, Marquette, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Villanova
Big Ten (7): Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Ohio State, Wisconsin
Big 12 (5): Iowa State, Kansas*, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State
Mountain West (5): Boise State, Colorado State, New Mexico*, San Diego State, UNLV
Pac-12 (5): Arizona, California, Colorado, Oregon, UCLA
Atlantic 10 (4): Butler, Saint Louis, Temple, VCU
ACC (4): Duke, Miami (FL), North Carolina, North Carolina State
SEC (4): Florida, Missouri, Ole Miss, Tennessee
Missouri Valley (2): Creighton*, Wichita State
Sun Belt (2): Middle Tennessee, Western Kentucky*
West Coast (2): Gonzaga*, Saint Mary's
America East: Albany*
Atlantic Sun: Florida Gulf Coast*
Big Sky: Montana*
Big South: Liberty*
Big West: Pacific
Colonial: James Madison*
Conference USA: Memphis*
Horizon: Valparaiso*
Ivy: Harvard*
MAAC: Iona*
MAC: Akron*
MEAC: North Carolina A&T*
Northeast: LIU Brooklyn*
Ohio Valley: Belmont*
Patriot: Bucknell*
Southern: Davidson*
Southland: Northwestern State*
Summit: South Dakota State*
SWAC: Southern*
WAC: New Mexico State
I hope Calapari has enough sense to turn down the NIT bid, if they get one. Going to the NIT is not a reward.
Take a minute and discover how the rich are stealing from all of us. Google "WILD MONEY BAILOUT''"' then proceed to the top site. If you click on their PENNY STOCK pages, you will see all the ways that the wealthy are basically corrupting the system. More importantly, you will see how you can get ur share.
NONSENSE. Little East only deserves 6 in, take out Cinn and nova (a 10 seed, you're kidding!) Little 10 same thing. No, no way Minn deserves a bid and Ill is questionable as well; Wis a 5 seed you got to be kidding with 10 losses! with El dukey losing in the quarters, they lose a #1 seed. If zags were undefeated and even lost their tourney, they'd have been off the 1 seed--tell the truth. I'm surprised you even have Maryland off since you always treat Duke like they invented BB. State should be no better than a 4 and Ill probably a 12 (too many losses and RPI tells the story too)
Villanova should only get an Invite if it is a ticket package for the rafters. Louisville game showed they don't belong on the same floor as the championship caliber teams. 8 from the Big East is to many, 6 deserve, 1 bubble and Villanova should be left at home.
Villanova, has already beaten Louisville once, with Syracuse and, Georgetown .
agreed! Nova lost to Columbia and Alabama by 18 & 20 and blown out by Cincy, losses to LaSalle, Providence (2X), Pitt (2X), Seton Hall.....13 total losses. Nova lost to Louisville by 20 last game they played.
I can't believe you still have Duke as a number 1. Let's get real here - if Miami wins the ACC then they should be #1. If they lose and Louisiville wins the Big East, then they should be #1. Also, I see you loaded the East in favor of Duke.
Two comments: Duke should not be a #1 seed this year, and Arizona State should be in. Big East is over rated again. 8 teams? Please. The Sun Devils would take several of those teams to the cleaners, including Notre Dame, Marquette and Pitt. Nova too, for that matter.
Ihave found it interesting the Ohio Bobcats are never mentioned as a bubble team coming off a sweet 16 last year while returning EVERY PLAYER at 24-8 this year. They are co-champs of the MAC this season and in the MAC Championship game tonight competing for the automatic bid every bracketologist already has Akron penciled in for. Win or lose tonight, it is a pity only "1" MAC team will be in the tournament. Hope viewers love watching that 7th place team from a big conference lumber down the floor in comparison. Either Ohio or Akron will be an exciting game to watch and a handful as the #12 or #13 seed they always receive, much like last year. How many #3, #4 or #5 seeds want to draw the Bobcats if they make it into the tournament???
I think the Oregon and UCLA Pac 12 championship game is going to
a real wild Game, That is unless bill walton will keep his "BIG"
mouth shut. He cannot announce a fair game if UCLA is involved.
Larryone - you are spot on about Walton. I'm a Bruin fan but even I cringe when he denigrates the Bruin opponents. Just got to take him at face value, I guess. But back to the predictions - Duke still a #1 seed? That is just wrong. These people are just compelled to brown-nose Coach K, no matter what. Miami is the 1 seed. And I dearly love the Gophers, but if they get in then AZ State should get in too. The Sun Devils are a better team than San Diego State too, plus a couple of the Big Least teams. Sorry to be repeating myself.
I don't agree. I am a bruin fan too. I in fact went to UCLA. I was in school when UCLA won with O'bannon. I hope UCLA wins this year. As they say they don't hang FInal Four banners in Pauley Pavilion.
Btw, I track my results of march madness using "Bracketology-Score-2013" through google play.
Hey, I'm a Bruin Dad, son was there at the same time. I hope they can go all the way too. Correct me if I'm wrong but with the exception of the Goodrich-Hazzard years, I don't think they ever made it into the final game without a bonafide big man in the post. These freshmen are talented but they are no Fab Five. Yet. And now without Adams, I just don't know. Hope they all come back next year. As for Walton, let's just say if I were a Duck or Wildcat fan, I would say he was biased.
Glad you looked at LaSalle again, Andy. They have had a special year with 21 wins and huge ones at VCU and over Butler and Nova and handled road wins very well. Tied for Big 5 Title with Temple and only 2 losses in a row all season were last 2 to St. Louis (top 20 team and conference champ) and Butler in a rematch....both games without star Center Steve Zack, injury.
I think you have been up to long working on your bracket!NO WAY Duke is 1 seed and Miami a 2! Every year I look at the brackets and the commity pats it for Duke. WHY I ASK? Then you have Old Miss out? Then all I here is Ky is out. This is what they done after Noel went down. If they still had Noel and still had the same record they would be in!!!!!!!!
Want to know how the wealthy are making thousands right now? Google "WILD MONEY BAILOUT'" and you will go to the top site. Finally, CLICK on the PENNY STOCK pages to learn how they are getting your money.
SO, when were these brackets updated? If last night, then it explains why AB is rated 34th in accuracy of all the prognosticators. Notre Dame still as a 6? Pitt still as a 6...Villanova and Cincinatti, despite losing in quarters of Big East and playing like Jr. High still in..Yet Maryland is out?
Please, give me the "Body of Work" and disregard the fact that Villanova and Cincy are horrible shooting teams and only competitive if they can make games a physical slugfest.
UNC makes it to ACC Title game and you have them at a 7? Really? Again, if your brackets haven't been updated as of yesterday, it's understandable, but if you updated this after yesterday and left UNC at a 7 and put Pitt and Notre Dame above, that's horrible, regardless of what happens today. WHO lately has Notre Dame beaten? Please don't say a fading Marquette is relevant...other than that, a win vs. Louisville in early February...Notre Dame is 6-4 in last 10, UNC is 8-2...Pitt is 7-3, and their big win is vs. a 'Cuse team that was struggling mighty. You appear to be giving THEM credit for those wins, but not UNC's performance since lineup change. NCAA is supposed to factor those things in to the discussion, based on injuries, changes, etc...NO way can you tell me Pitt or ND are 6 lines, if UNC is a 7...AND, comically you put them in Kansas region as a 2 for 2nd round game. NAH, you aren't doing this as a joke.
There is a reason you are 34th ranked prognosticator...maybe you should stop doing things like that and start focusing on what makes sense. NCAA is very unlikely to do that matchup, as it makes no sense, especially considering they played last year. OH, and before you tell me they don't look at last year, don't dare suggest you didn't Look at WHO the 2 was when you put UNC there. Again, that's not a logical setup, but it appears you dropped UNC to a 7 to have that game. OH, and UNLV as a 6, above UNC, who beat them with similar records? Yes, I'm a UNC fan. It was interesting listening to Bilas/Phelps Friday after UNC game talking about the only reason UNC isn't ranked was because of the timing of their losses, as they should be. Your one fading hope is that you haven't updated, as otherwise, you deserve the 34 ranking.
UMass has a strong case for the dance. Middle Tennessee State is a complete garbage team from a garbage conference. If they wanted to get in then they shouldn't have lost to a 16 seed in Western Kentucky. UMass has won @Temple, @Xavier and @LaSalle. Show me comparable wins from St. Mary's or Mid Tenn State.
Gonzaga will win it all!!!!!!!! I have it directly from "GOD", the "BIG" fella..................
Apparently, most in the comment thread believe that the invites to the big dance as well as seed placement are based purely on conference tourneys and have nothing to do with the way the teams performed the rest of the year. Smdh....ridiculous.

Currently, one major project is under construction on the I-405 Corridor:
Get the latest closure details:
Learn more about I-405 express toll lanes and our ongoing corridor planning process. Go behind the scenes with corridor projects on the WSDOT Blog:
How will we address long-term solutions on I-405? WSDOT worked with cities, counties, federal agencies, transit agencies and community groups to develop consensus for a long-term vision for the multi-modal redevelopment of I-405. This effort culminated in a three-year environmental impact statement (EIS) development process that outlines transit, roadway and environmental investments including more than 300 improvements. The EIS received approval with the Record of Decision in October 2002 and now serves as a corridor master plan. WSDOT continues to work with local communities and transit agencies to improve I-405.
What has the I-405 Corridor Program accomplished to date?
Since the master plan for I-405 improvements (PDF) was adopted in 2002, the strategy has been to fund groups of projects that directly address the worst congestion chokepoints first, coordinating all transportation modes into a working system. With the 2003 Nickel and 2005 Transportation Partnership Account, the state has invested nearly $1.5 billion into the corridor. Four Nickel-funded projects are complete (Kirkland Nickel Stage 1, South Bellevue Widening, Renton Stage 1 - Widening and the NE 116th Interchange and Street Improvement project). Of the TPA-funded projects, three are complete (NE 10th Street Bridge-Stage 2, Renton Stage 2 - Widening, and NE 8th Street to SR 520 Improvement project), and one is under construction (NE 6th to I-5 Widening and Express Toll Lanes). Another project, the I-405/SR 167 Direct Connector (part of I-5 to SR 169 Phase 2) is in the preliminary design stage, using corridor savings.The End Result: Every Trip Faster and Safer I-405 currently carries 800,000 people each day. Each constructed project in the master plan accommodates more people. With a completed master plan, I-405 will carry approximately 1.5 million people each day.The master plan creates about 1,700 new vanpools, increases transit service by 50 percent, builds 5,000 new park-and-ride spaces and accommodates a new bus rapid transit system with stations and stops. Stormwater runoff and salmon habitat will be significantly improved. The result: Every trip on the I-405 corridor will be faster and safer.What projects are currently unfunded?Several critical funding gaps remain in the corridor, specifically at the I-405/SR 167 interchange and the portion of I-405 between Renton and Bellevue. These projects will be constructed as funding becomes available.
Current funded I-405 improvement projects underway include:

No healthy parent wants to think about his child viewing pornography, but it often happens. Some researchers have stated that the average age of exposure to pornography is down to 8. Before the days of the Internet, children were typically between the ages of 11 to 13 when they began by viewing soft-core pornography found in magazines like Playboy.
Today's child lives in a culture where hard-core pornography abounds. Our children are being seduced daily, and we need to bear this fact in mind whenever we have the occasion to redirect them away from pornography.
It is also extremely important that parents not direct all their efforts toward their sons at the expense of their daughters. Pornography and other sexualized media can adversely affect girls as well as boys and often leads to significant damage in their ability to form healthy relationships as an adult.
We want to be intentional parents. It's our privilege and responsibility to educate them about sexuality. We want to begin early, and continue throughout their time with us in the home.
The ultimate goal for our children's sexuality is that they will be able to see the dynamic interplay between sexuality and spirituality. As Christians, we want to help them understand, for example, that sexual intercourse is an act of love shared between a husband and wife. This sacred act symbolizes the spiritual union that will occur between Christ and His bride, the Church, upon His return to earth. We hope our sons will see themselves as a type of Christ as they relate to their wives, and that our daughters will see themselves as a type of the church as they relate to their husbands. What we model today in our marriages will likely reproduce itself in our children's marriages.
By helping our children to see the big picture about the sanctity of sex, we are better prepared to confront the problem of pornography when and if it occurs in our children's lives.
Ideally, parents will share the same core values that promote sexual purity. This unity will facilitate your child's recovery. On the other hand, if a child's parents are divided about pornography, that child's rehabilitation will be more difficult.
A child's repetitive involvement with pornography can be a symptom of an unhappy home. Once the child's issues begin to surface, his parents may benefit from marital therapy if they continue to be at odds on pornography in general or fail to agree on how to facilitate their child's recovery.
Before you start beating yourself up, however, any exposure to pornography can harm children—even otherwise healthy children. The point here is not to blame parents but to help them identify any problems that may be negatively affecting their children's understanding of sexuality or recovery
I'm convinced that children are victims of a covert form of sexual abuse1 whenever they are confronted with sexually provocative materials. With this in mind, our children need us to be healthy advocates for their well-being – even if we must confront their willful exposure to porn.
If a child has been found with pornography, it's important to not jump to conclusions. A harsh, impulsive interrogation will most likely just shut down your child. An unhealthy shame often leads to more acting-out with pornography.
You will want to learn how your child found pornography. For example, did someone introduce your child to pornography? Mental health professionals recognize the power differential that occurs as result of age, and if the person who introduced the pornography was older by three or four years, it constitutes a type of sex abuse.2 These incidents should be reported to local authorities.

It will also be important to learn if this was his first exposure to pornography. The frequency of exposure matters, as a child becomes increasingly desensitized over time. As desensitization occurs, a child typically begins to seek a greater frequency of pornography, and a harder or more severe quality. Greater frequency and a shift to hard-core pornography are indicators that the brain has begun to seek more stimulation, which can lead to addiction.
If you learn that your child has developed a habit of viewing pornography, it will be important to seek the services of a specialist who is trained to facilitate recovery.
What types of pornography did he see? Sadly, with the Internet a child can be exposed to a wide range of sexual perversions in seconds. If your child has an e-mail address, chances are he or she is being exposed to pornographic e-mail. One recent study found that 47 percent of school-aged children received porn spam on a daily basis. This study also found that as many as one in five children open the spam they receive.1 It will be important to learn about the types of pornography that your child viewed. For example, was the pornography heterosexual or homosexual? Was it limited to body parts or did it include sex acts? Was sexual violence a part of the pornography, and did it include bestiality?
Many parents will seek the help of a therapist at this point. Wisely, they want to safeguard their roles as parents, and avoid harming the relationship by making the teen feel interrogated or ashamed as they ask such difficult questions. The therapist can also delicately approach the job of ascertaining to what extent he or she has been exposed to more severe types of pornography, without inadvertently planting ideas the teen has never even imagined.
Regardless of what was viewed, it will be more important to rehabilitate your child than to merely correct or punish him.
Frankly, there is no guarantee that even the best parent can prevent his child's exposure to pornography. As with parents of any age or culture, we seek to do the best we can with the resources we have. Should another incident occur, it will be another teachable moment where you restate the precepts and principles that guide us toward wholeness.
Fortunately, the probability of future occurrences can be diminished by taking a four-pronged approach.
Behavioral. Behavioral approaches attempt to prevent a scenario from developing in the first place. The house and grounds, for example, should be purged of all pornography. Media should be carefully screened for "triggers" that serve as gateways to acting-out. If the problem occurred with the Internet, a filter can be one of your strategies, although it can never replace parental supervision and involvement.2 Other common-sense approaches include moving the computer to the family room where others can easily view the screen, limiting the time on the computer so that no one is alone on the Internet, and developing a mission statement that directs the family's the use of the computer and the Internet.
Cognitive. Pornography is propaganda and generates destructive myths about sexuality. Once exposed, it will be critically important that a comprehensive sex education gets underway, if it has not already been initiated. The child will need to learn what and how to think about sexuality. More than mere behaviors, parents will want to communicate the core values of sexuality, the multifaceted risks of sex outside of marriage, and their ongoing compassion for what it must be like to grow up in this culture.
Emotive. Sex is inherently emotional. Premarital sex has even been linked with codependency, where at least one person becomes compelled or addicted to be in relationship with another. The youth culture would lead you to believe that sex is not necessarily emotional for them – don't you believe it. Sexual relations of any type bond the bodies, minds, and spirits of two individuals. At the conscious level, this attachment is largely emotional. Our children need to understand that emotional attachment is often involuntary, and especially when the relationship has been compromised sexually.
Spiritual. At its core, sexual integrity comes down to a spiritual commitment. The Christian message of how Christ loves His bride, the Church, is our inspiration. The prohibitions and consequences of sexual sin are secondary to the intimacy that one experiences in obedience to God. Our children need to see how our lives are different because of His love. With confidence, we can share with them that God's true love will empower them to avoid the trap of pornography.
A child's exposure to pornography often triggers a parent's unresolved issues. It may be that a mom will be reminded of sex abuse in her past, or a father will be reminded of his own struggles with pornography and other sexual sins. Because these kinds of memories can be painful, coping with a child's exposure to pornography can become even more difficult. For these reasons, family therapy may be particularly helpful.
If we really believe that sin is a powerful barrier between our child and God, we will move past a mere "sin management" approach to mentor them into a loving relationship with us and, more importantly, with Him. Wherever pornography or sexual sin is found, whether in the lives of our children or in our own, we can surrender ourselves and those we love to the greater care and compassion of our Father. His purity remains and cleanses us.
With the advent of the Internet, parents are finding it increasingly difficult to shield their children from pornography. Now, in addition to the exposure kids might encounter from classmates who borrowed one of their father's magazines, most school-age children and adolescents are spending large amounts of time online for homework or entertainment reasons. Attorney General John Ashcroft has estimated that nine in ten teens have been exposed to pornography. Unfortunately, many of these teens are susceptible to developing addictions or compulsions to these images.
The term "addict" may seem severe. Most parents will initially minimize the problem, hoping their son or daughter is simply "experimenting." Experience has taught me that, in many cases, at least one of the parents will have faced similar struggles when he or she was younger. Today, however, Internet pornography is the fast ramp to sex addiction. Coupled with a greater moral decay in the culture and the fact that children's minds are still are still in the process of developing to maturity, addiction can happen quicker than we parents like to think.
Not long ago, I was a guest on Focus on the Family's teen call-in radio show Life on the Edge Live! During the hour, several adolescents called in to discuss sexual integrity. Even having previously treated adolescent addicts, I was surprised that the first four callers identified themselves as sex addicts – three of which were females.
My own practice and experiences such as those on the call-in show demonstrate that the problems of teenage pornography and sex addictions are real, devastating, and increasing. When faced with their teen's struggle, most parents don't know where to begin to get their child the help he or she needs.
In many situations, the first reaction is to determine who is to blame within the family. It is important to realize, however, that bad things still happen to good families. This does not absolve certain parties from taking responsibility where it is needed. Everyone needs to take ownership of his or her piece of the puzzle.
For example, parents need to ask if they have provided a comprehensive sex education that truly equipped their child with the winsome truth expounded in the Bible. Setting proper foundations for understanding a Christian sexual ethic is a crucial step in protecting children from later sexual disorder.
Parents will also want to re-evaluate the types and amounts of media they have allowed in the home. People tend to absorb the messages that bombard them in popular media; more so with teens and young children. What have your children been listening to and watching? Is their media reinforcing respectful messages about sexuality and the dignity of the person, or is it working to erode these foundational principles in your child's mind?
Another often-overlooked problem is the sad reality of sex abuse. Most sex addicts have suffered sexual abuse at some point in their lives, and treatment of sex abuse is foundational to overcoming sex addiction.
The adolescent addict also has areas of responsibility. Has he or she been honest about the sexual struggles? Have there been other excesses like alcohol or drugs? Has a peer or perhaps an adult been a bad influence? Most important of all, has the adolescent made a full disclosure to his parents so that the family can become equipped to deal with sex addiction?
Parents need to realize that their teen is likely suffering from extreme shame and embarrassment. Authoritarian dictates are not likely to encourage your child to open up and share the extent of his or her struggles. Compassionate love and understanding, such as Jesus demonstrated to the woman caught in adultery, is likely to help your child feel safe enough to disclose the full story.
Many families will already have experienced serious communication breakdown with their teens. How parents approach their teen in this situation will likely determine whether unhealthy patterns of communications will continue to disrupt and frustrate the relationship or whether a new foundation of openness, trust, and safety can be built and sustained throughout the struggle.
Parents will need to remind themselves that they are often prone to minimizing what they know or suspect to be the truth. Parents also need to realize the resistance they will encounter from their teen. Most addicts, regardless of age, will deny their struggle. They may even shift the blame and become verbally aggressive. Others may agree immediately that they have sinned or hurt others, and promise too quickly that they will never do it again. Getting caught hardly changes the heart.
Of course, it's to be expected that everyone will feel awkward, maybe even embarrassed. Regardless of the discomfort, however, when there is evidence of illicit sexual behavior and possible addiction, parents have to take the lead.
Chances are this encounter will exacerbate personality differences already evident in the family, but parents and teen alike need to understand that this issue is not about personalities but about principles. Ideally, parents will have educated their children about the principles or core values that pertain to personal integrity. When these principles are violated, parents don't need to make this a personal issue, even though the wound will be highly personal.
Those who have not undertaken this core training will experience greater difficulty reaching the teen. Compounding the problem will be any moral lapse or habits that the teen witnesses in the parents' lives. It is extremely difficult to admonish a child for seeking out pornography if the parents have a few video cassettes they claim to be marital aids. Children are experts at sniffing out hypocrisy.
If parents are morally compromised in this situation, there are only a few choices they can make. They can either let the matter drop, thus resigning their teen to a cycle of pain, shame and addiction, or they can make the decision to eliminate those harmful aspects of their own lives and work toward bringing healing and restoration to the entire family.
Youth culture often counters parental values; adolescents may claim the right to express sexuality in whatever ways they desire. Without moral absolutes, they are prone to experimentation and believe that being true to one's self is the greater good.
The fact remains that parents are responsible to a large degree for their children and for what their children do. For example, when an adolescent violates one or more civil laws pertaining to sexual conduct, his parents will typically become involved in the court hearings as well. Taking up their moral responsibility, parents of teenage addicts will need to state clear boundaries so that the guidelines and consequences are obvious.
Sadly, simply stating clear moral guidelines won't change the heart of our children. Nevertheless, parents should be clear. Adolescents are to be accountable for their conduct, especially when trust has been violated.
Some initial guidelines for children would involve the types of media they are exposed to and the times and places of exposure. For example, parents would want to regulate Internet usage to specific times of the day or only when they are present. They may need specialized software to help them achieve these measures. Other restrictions could include limiting Internet use for homework purposes only and limiting TV viewing.
Heavy-handedness without appropriate ongoing communication and relationship can drive a teen further away from you and drive a continuation of his or her acting out.
The guidelines parents set should not be limited to media in the home. Considering the seriousness of your child's problem, guidelines should also be developed for conduct outside the household, with a signed agreement clearly stating consequences for infractions.
The reader can see how this could easily become a case of "parenting with an iron fist." These measures need to be moderated by your family's situation and your unique relationships. Above all, you must enter into these measures making sure that you are acting out of love and a motivation to help your child toward healing. Just as important, your child must perceive that you are acting with such a motivation. Heavy-handedness without appropriate ongoing communication and relationship can drive a teen further away from you and drive a continuation of his or her acting out.
Ideally, fathers should discuss these matters with sons, and mothers with daughters. Follow-up is important and, at least initially, these times of accountability may need to occur daily so that the teenage addict can check-in.
The most difficult question that can emerge is how to safeguard other children in the home. We want to think the best of our loved ones, regardless of age. It's hard to imagine that a family member may actually pose a hazard to another family member. Where sex addiction exists, however, a careful evaluation for risk factors is always warranted.
Understandably, parents will want to protect younger children from the knowledge that an older sibling is addicted to pornography or other sexual behaviors. In fact, many times, the younger children remain relatively innocent, and perhaps the parents have not yet initiated sex education. Nevertheless, there are times when parents will need to err on the side of caution, and share with younger children that an older sibling is in trouble sexually, and therefore, won't be left alone in their presence without parental supervision.
Every family situation differs in type and severity. For this reason, it's not possible to offer specific advice in a brief article. Fortunately, however, help and hope is available though Focus on the Family's Counseling Department. For a confidential assessment and referral to a specialist, call (800) 232-6459 weekdays 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Mountain Time).
If your child struggles with pornography or act outs sexually in other ways, professional help will be critically important. Often, Christian parents seek the help of a pastor, a Sunday School teacher, or perhaps someone from school. While all of these people have key-support roles to play, most likely none are specialized in the treatment of sex abuse and/or addiction.
The specialist can equip you to know how to approach your child. You will also learn how to monitor the situation, and develop more or less support depending on your particular circumstances.
Just because your teenager seems to be addicted today to pornography does not mean that he or she must remain addicted tomorrow. Kids of all ages are incredible resilient, especially when their legitimate needs are being met in meaningful ways.
If your teenager is diagnosed with sex addiction, it means this condition did not occur overnight. To some degree, there has been a progression that most likely dates back to the first time your child was exposed to pornography or some other form of sexual abuse.
Because our children are in various stages of development where some degree of sexual experimentation is likely, it can be difficult to pin down whether or not a serious problem actually exists. The secrecy that surrounds sexual sin also makes it difficult to detect what may be happening in the private lives of our children.
As we work to restore our children to sexual and spiritual health, we must understand the role intimacy takes in this process. Sex addiction is never really about sex, but about the void in one's spirit. Even when a teenager has a faith-based life in Christ, he or she will still be faced with quite a bit of sexual temptation. If he or she can develop self-control in this area, most likely self-control in other areas will follow.
In every case where self control abounds, we can express our heartfelt gratitude to God who loves our children even more than we do.

PERRY, NY¦ Bright sunny skies welcomed fans to ABC Glass night at Wyoming County International Speedway on Friday night. The annual Pirate Trailer Race took place after the racing program was completed on the Bullring 1/3rd mile oval. The theme of the night is based off the annual Sea Serpent Weekend that takes place down in the Village of Perry and also on Silver Lake. Today, the sea serpent is a mascot for the Perry community but local tales have been told that the serpent was seen by anglers back in 1855.
PERRY, NY… A warm pre-Summer evening welcomed the cars, stars, and fans to the Wyoming County International Speedway for the racing action under the lights. It was a night of drivers making a return visit to the Promised Land known as Victory Circle but for one driver, the wait to get back to victory lane was a long wait. Before the results of this week's racing action, let's recap what happened at the Bullring. Two weeks ago saw Patrick Emerling take top honors in the SST Modifieds. Phil Alhart Jr won in the SST Super Stocks. Charles Buchanan won in the 4 Cylinders and Robbie Micoli won in the Mini Cups. Out of those four, only two were successful on repeating on this evening at WCIS.
Alhart Jr., Buchanan and Eck Also Take Checkered
PERRY, NY… A warm early summer evening welcomed drivers and fans alike to the Wyoming County International Speedway for exciting, heart pounding wheel to wheel racing action on the historic 1/3rd mile Bullring. A car cruise was also held on the speedway grounds during intermission.
Boston, NY's Patrick Emerling made his second trip to victory lane this season after leading all 35 laps in the SST Modified Feature. Jim Ling and Emerling led the field for the start of the Modified feature and it was Emerling in his Emerling Chevrolet 03 machine getting out to the early advantage. An advantage that he wouldn't give up throughout the duration of the event. There was a "Cinderella story" to this feature event and the "Cinderella story" was Andy Jankowiak. Andy J had problems with his regular Jim and Bob's Service, Rear End Specialties 57 machine during hot laps and Jankowiak jumped behind the wheel of the Ed Schueler 6 machine that is supporting Breast Cancer Awareness as well as Autism Awareness. After each restart, Andy J would try to real in Patrick Emerling but all chances were shut down by the race leader as Emerling would lead all 35 laps in picking up his second win of 2010 at WCIS. Andy Jankowiak finished up in the runner up spot. Joe Evans crossed the line in third in his TW Signs, Emerling Ford/Mercury machine.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Sound Ordnance Bass Bunker by Dominic Devito Why do I need an enclosure? An enclosure is simply the box that houses your sub; sealed and ported enclosures are the most popular types. A sealed enclosure is usually smaller in size, sacrificing a little volume level to deliver more accurate bass. The ported enclosure features a vent which allows bass waves to escape from behind the mounted sub, augmenting the bass coming off the front of the sub. Ported boxes are louder, bigger, and a little less accurate. Every sub works best in the size and type of enclosure that's recommended by the manufacturer, so make sure you match your sub with the right box. Sound Ordnance's rugged Bass Bunker enclosures come built to last and ready to help your sub deliver real low-frequency firepower. These unloaded boxes feature high-grade, medium-density fiberboard construction, with sealed inner braces that help combat resonance by reducing vibrations. Rounded outside corners and recessed panels allow them to fit into more vehicles, while tough black carpeting defends against incoming nicks and scratches. Bass Bunkers make a great solution when building your own box is not an option. The BB10-50S sealed enclosure holds one 10" subwoofer and offers an internal volume of 0.54 cubic feet. Just add the right sub, amp, and wiring, then mount the enclosure securely, and you're ready to hit the road with some real bass artillery in your arsenal. Warning: This enclosure does not include mounting hardware. If you're buying a sub from us, please check "What's in the Box?" to see if screws are included. If not, you should have an assortment of heavy-duty wood screws on hand for the installation.

That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Materials: The Sound Ordnance BB10-50S Bass Bunker is an unloaded, hatchback-style sealed enclosure for a single 10" subwoofer. It is constructed of 5/8" MDF (medium-density fiberboard), covered in black carpet. Internal Box Volume: The enclosure has 0.54 cubic feet of airspace. Terminals: The BB10-50S is equipped with a pair of spring-post speaker terminals, mounted in the rear panel. The spring terminals will accept bare wire, pin connectors, and single banana plugs, but are spaced too far apart for dual banana plugs. Inside the enclosure, the terminals have an attached 18" length of speaker wire for connecting the subwoofer. Brackets: Brackets for securing the enclosure to your vehicle are recommended.

Good box, had to jigsaw two supports out because the type r is too wide inside. Works great though still a very solid box. Would have been pretty t/od if it didn't work because a Crutchfield rep set me up with it. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 bass bunker 50 Written By mike, buffalo,ny on Wednesday, July 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) was recommended by crutchfield for use with my Alpine SWR-10D4 but had to hammer out the inside supports cause the magnet is to big but good construction Pros: well built Cons: doesnt work with subs with large magnets unless you take out the inner supports 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Nice little box Written By Ricky S, Oil City, PA on Sunday, June 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had a ported box for my 12" sub before and this one seems to hit harder and more accurately. I would definitely buy this again. Pros: Hits hard, Makes the bass loud, Very compact. Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 It's a box Written By john, OK on Thursday, May 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works great with my Alpine type S.

Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Sound Ordnance Bass Bunker Written By Nat, NY on Thursday, September 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Solid construction and well built. I don't have any complaints. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Great for some, but not JL 10w3v3 Written By ryan, Glendale, AZ on Monday, August 20, 2012 Very well built+solid. Glue is consistant and completely seals all interrior edges. I would use this for a 10" subwoofer with sealed box requirements closer to this than the JL 10w3v3 that I bought it for. The JL sub just wants more space than provided, the bass bunker limited the sub's volume. I ended up paying $200 for a custom built MDF enclosure. The custom enclosure was properly sized and colored so the system matches my vehicle sonically and visually much better. If this enclosure closely/exactly match your sub's requirements, get it. If not, go custom. Pros: Cheap, sturdy, asthetically pleasing black color Cons: Will be too small for some subs, not as professional looking or sounding as a custom box Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 bass bunkers Written By ralph, phx,az on Saturday, June 09, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) very nice boxes these are for 10" subs they work fine but if your into bass go with the 12" subs you will get more bass the 10" work fine for me i have done the big bass thing already now i am all about clarity 1 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Decent Sub Box Written By Tim, Ct. on Friday, April 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This box is decent and one of the only pre-fabbed boxes I could find this small. It seems pretty sturdy and it's finished well. My only complaint would be that they don't offer a model that sported 3/4 inch MDF. I believe the thicker material offers slightly better sound quality and less color to the sound. I like the carpeting used on these boxes, it seems to be of high quality. Some may not like the embroidered emblem on the box, it doesn't bother me, but I would have preffered it not be there. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Nice solid box. Written By Mike D, Washington, DC on Monday, April 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a nice solid box. It appeared to be well sealed but I went over the interior seams with silicone just to be safe and let it dry for 24 hours. Sounding great in my ride with rich, full bass. Pros: It was packaged well and got to my doorstep without a ding. Internal bracing makes it sturdy and may make up for the 5/8" MDF construction instead of 3/4". Spring terminals grip the speaker wire tightly. Cons: I bought it to house my Alpine SWR-1043D sub. Crutchfield's "accessories" page for this item says it matches. Yeah it does for the volume, but the sub is so deep that the box's bracing stopped me from inserting it all the way. I had to cut some of the bracing away with a saw and shopvac out the dust. No biggie. Also like "Tim2000" I would have preferred drilling my own hole for the speaker wire. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Nice build Written By Tim2000, Cherry Hill, NJ on Tuesday, October 04, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The build of this box with internal bracing is excellent along with the carpeting job. My subwoofer slipped in like a glove and sounds fantastic in this box. *** Be sure to use fiber fill in this box or Dacron batting as per the recommendation of the subwoofer manufacturer. I took off 1 star because of the terminal connection plate mounted on the back of the box. You can't tell the method by which it is attached to the box or how well it is sealed. I added wood glue to the inside of the box around the terminal plate to ensure an air-tight seal. If air were to leak out of the box around the terminal plate, the subwoofer's performance would suffer (you may or may not notice this degree of performance based upon the music type, music volume level, the sensitivity of your ears, etc.). I would have preferred a totally sealed box where I could have drilled a hole for my speaker wire and then seal it with a silicone sealant. Keep in mind that this method is a PERMANENT method to attach speaker wires, so make sure you use plenty of wire for future stereo layout changes. That being said, the quick-release spring terminals on the back allow for a simple and easy method to attach speaker wires to the box. Based upon this single purchase, I would consider purchasing another Sound Ordnance enclosure. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Not too bad for a prebuilt enclosure... Written By Blaine, Louisiana on Tuesday, September 06, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got two of these enclosures to use for my Boston Acoustics G310-4 subwoofers. Upon receiving them, they seemed very sturdy and well built. The box is very solid and carpeted well. The internal bracing is another nice feature. The terminals on the back are nice also, but took some work to get my 12 gauge wire to fit. The only thing I wish was better quality was the caulk/silicon on the inside joints and corners. It was done, but it was a sloppy job. Some of the joints were missed. Overall, the enclosures were a great choice for these subs. They have stood up to 800 RMS from two of these subs for about a week and a half now. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a solid enclosure. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Not bad! Written By Ben P, Rochester, NY on Thursday, August 25, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Pretty good box, solid construction, just not very thick wood. What you would expect from an assembly line production. Great speaker wire clips, just add some of that pillow packing material, and you're all set! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This box looks to be well made and is just about the perfect size for the Boston acoustics sub I mounted in it. Sounds great! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great value compared to the competition Written By marco, San Francisco, CA on Friday, February 19, 2010 I purchased this box for use with a MTX thunder 10" 300 watt sub powered by a 300 watt alpine mono sub. I was very pleased when I received the enclosure. The speaker input hardware is high quality, and the box is well constructed (caulking well applied, wood is reinforced well, carpeting is clean and attractive). The construction is far better than the pair of cheapo 6x9 enclosures I once bought online. As for the sound, I don't have much to compare it too. I chose the box because the interior volume matched my sub. I don't have any complaints. This box is a great value. The price compares well to the cheapest boxes online, though the quality is higher. I look forward to reading other reviews on "sound ordnance" equipment. 12 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

text: I've never completed FEAR. Well, that's an understatement to say the least. I've never got further than about forty minutes into it. The opening level had me nearly sobbing at my keyboard after the hundredth time something jumped right in my face; ultimately rendering me physically unable to press the 'W' key for fear that I might die of shock. And I nearly did die once – that bit in DOOM 3 where a demon bursts out from under some stairs. God. Of course by 'nearly dying' I actually mean "letting out a girly scream followed by a pathetic whimper"…
