text: Print article Send a Tip Police Find Man Having Sex Outside His Murdered Wife's House by Jon David Kahn 20 Jun 2013 BOTHELL, Wash. -- A Washington man is accused of, but not charged with, having sex outside the house his estranged wife was murdered in less than six months ago. Allan Smith remains a "person of interest" in the February murder of Susann Smith, who according to medical examiners, died from head injuries. Allan Smith moved back into the house after the murder. Recently police were called to the home after neighbors reported hearing a woman screaming. Little did they know that the screaming was a testament to Smith's sexual prowess because when police arrived, they found him having sex with a woman in the yard. And that woman's name was Love Thai, and she had the following account: "The story is we were there in the corner making sweet love," she said. "I said, 'Hey, you came into our private yard. The cop let us know that a neighbor reported that they saw sexual activity and I looked through and I said, 'Ok we're really sorry.'" She went on to suggest that anybody who saw them making sweet love would have had to have gone the extra mile to see them. "If you're going to look into someone's private property and get upset about it, take ownership of that," she said. "But for you to call police is not OK." What is also "not OK" with Love Thai, is the neighborhood suspicion that surrounds her gentleman lover. "I think they just want to see him for what they want to see him, which is out of fear that he murdered his wife. And he didn't, I'm sorry," she said. She then made clear what really breaks her heart: "What really breaks my heart is that his neighbors haven't come and just cooked him a home-cooked meal," Thai said. "Help him, he's hurting. He's lost his wife. He's lost his children - -he hasn't seen his children in four months." She makes a compelling point as it would seem like the decent thing to do for a neighbor who's a "person of interest" in his wife's murder, accused of making sweet love in the yard, and reportedly an avid nude sunbather. Shame on the neighbors. Shame. Love Thai is pictured above. Jon David Kahn is The Minister of Culture for Breitbart News. Follow him on Twitter

The Vatican on Friday condemned the U.S. embargo against Cuba ahead of Pope Benedict's trip there next week and said the pontiff was willing to meet Fidel Castro.
"The Holy See believes that the embargo is something that makes the people suffer the consequences. It does not achieve the aim of the greater good," Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said.
"The Holy See does not believe it is a positive or useful measure," he said in response to a question at a briefing about Benedict's trip to Mexico and Cuba from March 23-28.
The embargo, which marked its 50th anniversary last month and which Cubans call "the blockade", is still the cornerstone of U.S. policy toward the Caribbean island 90 miles from Florida, although it has failed to meet its primary objective of undermining Castro's communist government.

Charles George Taylor (21 November 1816 at Turnham Green, Middlesex – 10 September 1869 at Frensham Hill, Surrey) was an English cricketer in the mid-19th century who played, as an amateur, mainly for Sussex and MCC, having begun his career at Cambridge University. He was a good all-rounder who batted right-handed and bowled right-arm slow, roundarm style.
Taylor made his known debut in the 1836 season and had 125 known appearances in major matches to the 1859 season. He scored 3088 runs @ 14.29 with a highest innings of 114, which was one of two centuries he achieved. He took 69 catches and 287 wickets with a best tally of eight in one innings. He is known to have taken 10 wickets in a match on six occasions.

MIAMI -- Giancarlo Stanton homered twice, drove in three runs and made an impressive catch to lead the Miami Marlins to a 6-5 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night at Marlins Park.
Stanton hit both of his shots off Cardinals starter Shelby Miller (8-9). The first homer, which was hit to right, came off a 96 mph fastball. The second one, which was hit to left, was struck off a 76 mph breaking ball.
Stanton tied the Chicago White Sox's Jose Abreu for the major league lead with 31 homers. Stanton also has 148 career homers, tying ex-Marlin Hanley Ramirez for second place on the franchise's career list. Former Marlin Dan Uggla is the career leader with 154.
Defensively, Stanton made his mark in the fifth inning, falling face first into the warning-track dirt in right field after diving to make a catch and steal extra bases from second baseman Kolten Wong.
Orioles 11, Yankees 3
BALTIMORE -- Chris Davis, Nelson Cruz and Jonathan Schoop homered, and Adam Jones added three hits as Baltimore topped New York.
Davis wasn't in the starting lineup, but he came in to play third base when Manny Machado sprained his right knee while batting in the third inning. Machado will be re-evaluated Tuesday, the Orioles announced.
The Yankees took an early 3-1 lead, but Davis hit a two-run homer in the fifth off Chris Capuano (0-2) that put Baltimore up 4-3. Davis, Cruz, Schoop and Nick Markakis each collected two hits for Baltimore.
Pirates 11, Tigers 6
PITTSBURGH -- Travis Snider had the third two-home run of his career, powering Pittsburgh past Detroit in a game in which Tigers starter Justin Verlander left early with shoulder soreness.
Snider finished with three hits, three runs and four RBIs. His first home run was a two-run shot to cap a three-run second that put the Pirates ahead 8-1. The left fielder's solo blast in the eighth inning finished the scoring and was his ninth home run of the season.
Verlander (10-11) exited after allowing five runs (four earned) and four hits with two walks and three strikeouts in one inning. He will be re-evaluated Tuesday.
Royals 3, Athletics 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Alcides Escobar drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning as Kansas City moved into first place in the American League Central with a victory over Oakland.
The Royals own an eight-game winning streak, the longest active run in the majors. They inched a half-game in front of the Detroit Tigers.
Escobar's two-out ground ball single to center in the seventh scored pinch runner Nori Aoki. Escobar also stroked a two-out, RBI single in the second inning.
Dodgers 6, Braves 2
ATLANTA -- Picked up from the Minnesota Twins on Saturday, veteran right-hander Kevin Correia allowed just four hits and a run over six innings as Los Angeles defeated Atlanta.
Correia kept the Braves off balance as he mixed his off-speed stuff with a fastball that sat around 90 mph. He walked just one, struck out five and threw 54 of his 82 pitches for strikes. Correia (1-0) also went 2-for-2 and scored a run.
Carl Crawford had three hits and drove in two runs, while Yasiel Puig added two hits, a walk, and two runs for the Dodgers.
Mets 5, Phillies 3
PHILADELPHIA -- Jonathon Niese threw seven strong innings as New York beat Philadelphia.
Niese (6-8) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six. Jeurys Familia allowed a run while recording the final four outs for his third save of the season.
The Mets trailed 2-1 before rallying for four runs in the seventh inning. Matt den Dekker hit a game-tying double, and Anthony Recker's three-run homer put New York on top for good.
Rays 7, Rangers 0

Handcrafted feature films and shorts.LOOK INSIDE
Throughout the 1980s, as America's downtown districts declined in importance and the "big-box" stores began their slow march across the country, malls became increasing central to American popular culture, dominating the social life of a large swath of the population. In 1989 Michael Galinsky, a twenty-year-old photographer, drove across the country recording this change: the spaces, textures and pace that defined this era.
If you've ever gotten separated from your child for just a few moments and remember the depth of panic that sets in, then you can begin to understand what Noreen Gosch has felt over the last 30 years since her son Johnny disappeared delivering newspapers in West Des Moines, Iowa on the morning of September 5, 1982.
More than any other missing child case, Johnny's story has spawned countless theories and has instilled intrigue in the millions who remember the kid on the side of a milk carton.
WHO TOOK JOHNNY is an examination into the infamous thirty-year-old cold case behind the disappearance of Iowa paperboy Johnny Gosch, the first missing child to appear on a milk carton.

I have indeed entrusted you with this Message, because I knew you would take good care of My Interests; I said, I have entrusted you with this Message; this Message adds nothing new to Scriptures; everything I have said in this Message is written in Scriptures, but you have not understood yet fully what is written; you heard Me say: I will send you the Parakletos to be with you for ever and in those who love Me to teach you everything; My Spirit will be your Counsellor and your Educator; without Him even My Disciples never fully understood Me nor My teachings; but on that day I returned to the Father, I sent the Parakletos to them so that He reminds them of everything I had said to them while I was with them; I am all prepared now to come to you, but you have still not understood how and in which way; yet I have not been speaking in metaphors;

Wiki Headlines
23rd Oct: It's time for the second TV Tropes Halloween Avatar Contest, theme: cute monsters! Details and voting here.
The main character's organisation/team is red.
Do We Have This One?, No Launching Please [[red:Red]]. One of the most commonly used colours in fiction and very popular for protagonists. But what do you do when The Hero belongs to a team? Why, make the whole team red! Heroes Belong In Red refers to the tendency for the hero's team, house, or organisation in general, to hold the colour red as its emblem. Maybe it's because the colour has accumulated varied symbolic meanings over the years, or because it's vivid and draws attention. Or maybe, it's just cool to look at. Traditionally, red is associated with love, blood and sacrifice. However, in this case, it's most likely to be chosen because of its association with heroism and courage. If elements are used in the story, the organisation using red will almost invariably signify fire. Note that this has to include an entire team or organisation using [[red:red]] and various shades as a symbol, not just one character. In Boarding School settings, it may involve red uniforms as well. A subtrope of Colour-Coded for Your Convenience. Related and may sometimes overlap with The Law Of Chromatic Superiority and Red-Headed Hero. See also Heroes Prefer Redheads.

You know when something is really good and you say something like, "That's sweet!" Well, I don't know if people even say that anymore, but I still use that expression. I like to keep things old school!
The whole point of that last paragraph was to make the point that although One Sweet Pass has the word "sweet" right there in the name, it actually isn't that sweet, at least not when you look at the 16 sites that make up the pass individually. Two of them are cam sites and only one of the 16 is still actually updating. How about we start by checking out a few of the sites?
Sweet Apples: Sweet and sexy amateurs showing themselves off in short homemade softcore vids. This is by far the biggest site in the network and the only one that is still updating regularly.
Amber Spring: Amber is a shy cutie who likes to tease you with her sexy outfits while always keeping her naughty bits covered up.
Sweet Danni: Here we have another non-nude cutie.
Sweet Vidz: The hotties on this site do the full-nude thing, as well as the masturbation and solo playtime thing.
Snot Girls: Not only do these chicks get naked and play with themselves, they also pick their noses. Yup!
In total, you are looking at about 700 videos and 656 photo sets (although, with only one site updating, those numbers aren't changing that quickly or that dramatically). While some of the sites offer good-quality vids, many offer poor-quality movies and the biggest site, Sweet Apples, generally has average-quality videos. At least many of the photos look good.
The design is nice and when you sign in you are presented with all the network sites right there on the main page. The problem came when I wanted to enter any of them. To do so you will be asked to enter the login for each one. As long as you check the "save password," box you won't have to do it the next time, but it is pretty annoying nonetheless.
As you may have noticed from the sites I mentioned above, the network is mostly focused on solo masturbation, softcore and non-nude action. And some of it is pretty good, but given that most of the sites are small and almost all of them aren't updating, there is probably no reason to stick around for more than a month should you decide to sign on up.

3-D Walleyes
By Ted Takasaki and Scott Richardson
It would be easy for anglers to fall victim to the notion that the watery world below is two-dimensional. The water's surface is flat. Lake and river maps are flat. Your sonar screen is flat. But down below, the bottom consists of peaks and valleys just like the dry world above.
Changes in bottom contours are called structure and understanding how structure affects fish behavior is the key to angling success. The trick is to train our minds to translate two-dimensional images from a map, your sonar screen, or GPS into mental images with three dimensions. A technique called visualization can help you with this task.

Twists to a Timeless Approach for Spring Walleyes
By Tom Neustrom
Some states have an official "Walleye Opener". It's circled on calendars in kitchen after kitchen. In equally as many states, though, "Opener"
describes the second that the ice vanishes. Either way, I believe the ties to the tradition of the "Opener" are too strong.
Let me explain in an anecdote
Three generations of the Doe family get together on that hallowed weekend and cross their collective fingers that the
walleyes will bite. No matter the weather. No matter what experts say about the lake. No matter nothing. They fish the same lake every year.
Not that the relatives shouldn't get together and fish. But unless your lake oozes with spring walleyes, you're better off leaving the comfort of the
cabin, putting the boat on the trailer and driving to a bite.
That's not meant to be harsh. It's factual. And here are some tips for picking the right pond and putting a bend in your rod.

The best Tasting Menu in LA for a special ocassion?
Hi, I'm a Chowhound newbie so please be gentle!
I'm looking for suggestions, hints and ideas on the best tasting menus in LA. My father is in LA on business and is staying on for the Breeder's Cup. I'll be in LA for the Breeder's Cup via work. We have 10/28-11/1 before the racing travelling and sight seeing. I'd like to treat him to a tasting menu somewhere one evening during that time.
I've been been looking through old threads and have seen suggestions for Melissé, Providence, Saam @ The Bazaar and Osteria Mozza. Some of the threads were older though and I know places can improve (or not) over time! So any fresh suggestions would be great. Budget wise about $500 total including tax and tip is the upper end of what I'd look at but less is always appreciated!
I'm leaning towards Saam for José Andrés' "Molecular Gastronomy" and associations with Ferran Andriá's El Bulli as that has always been a food Mecca for my father. Reviews seem to be very divided though?
Any help is gratefully recieved! Thanks.
Spago has just reopened.....and is always wonderful. I'd consider that as well. I think Melisse, Providence, Saam and Osteria Mozza are all still excellent. Don't think you'd have a bad experience/meal at any of those. Though I haven't been to Saam in quite a while. If you and your father lean towards seafood, then Providence would be your best bet. And local restaurants are starting to get the first shipments of truffles....and I know Providence is featuring them now. Probably Melisse as well. If that's of interest.
The only tasting menu I've had among the restaurants you mentioned was at Providence, and like wienermobile, I really enjoyed it. And based on my many friends' experiences at the other restaurants you mentioned, I agree with perk that you've identified winners.
Obviously you've done your research, and eliminated Urasawa at $375 pp for food only.
I don't like when people make suggestions for places they have never tried. But since you're from out of town, I'll make an exception just to bring awareness. Since you're attending the Breeder's Cup at Santa Anita, I suggest you look into the Royce at the Langham in Pasadena. I want to try it. I just haven't tried it yet. And it's the closest place to Santa Anita in the caliber you're discussing.
Not knowing what the "new" Spago would be like, I would rank your options like this:
1. Providence
1A. Saam
3. Melisse
5. Valentino
6. Hatfield's
Considering your preference for the Molecular Gastronomy type of food, I would say Saam is a very good option. I don't think I've come across too much disdain for the experience at Saam. Chowhounders may tend to dislike Bazaar, but the 2 restaurants, although related, are miles apart in terms of the experience they provide. I think it's also worth considering ink, although I think the Tasting Menu isn't as fun as just ordering half the menu. And I always like to throw n/naka's hat in the ring, as the chef throws in the occassional "molecular gastronomy" flourish in an intelligent way.
I've only done the Chef's tasting at providence. The food was very good, but I was somewhat underwhelmed by the service. I think I would choose Melisse, from everything I've seen the menu is more than modern enough to appeal to those who appreciate technique, and it seems a bit more substantial than The Bazaar.
Have you considered somewhere like Ink? The atmosphere/service is likely a good bit more casual, but the food seems like it would fit the bill.
re: Miesque
Wonderful. I hope you report back on your experience at Royce and Saam. And I hope your horse wins the race.
re: lil mikey
Thanks...fingers crossed! I'll report back after our trip.
In this order.
1. Melisse
2. Providence
3. n/naka
4. Saam
5. Tasting Kitchen
Been a little disappointed with Valentino's lately. And it should be pointed out taht the tasting menu at Osteria Mozza is an all-pasta menu. Spago's is probably a good idea, but the menu has changed and I haven't tried it.
I'm solidly in the Melisse camp... I'd go there. HOWEVER, it is NOT even remotely close to molecular gastronomy -- it is somewhat modern (southeast) French. If that isn't going to be your father's cup of tea, then Saam may be for you.
Welcome to Chowhound!
Like many fellow Hounds, my only pick for your molecular gastronomy request is also Saam (Beverly Hills).
The rest of my picks are just really nice tasting menus I've enjoyed, though not necessarily "molecular":
n/naka (West LA)
Providence (Mid-City)
Noé at the Omni (Downtown)
Mélisse (Santa Monica)
Other places for a modernist kick/flair (no tasting menu, though):
Red Medicine (Beverly Hills)
Ink (West Hollywood-ish)
Good luck!
re: J.L.
Based on your father's "molecular gastronomy" interest, he may now be leaning towards the Noma style food that can most readily be found here at Red Medicine. Have called in advance before to set up a tasting menu w/ wine pairing at $150pp and were blown away by what this former alum of Alinea put together. To this day, it's still the most transformative dining experience I've had in LA (and that includes numerous visits to Ink, Bazaar, Providence, and several incarnations of Bastide).
My first, and only recommendation given your criteria.
re: FranklinJefferson
+1. The level of molecular gastronomy at Red Medicine is much more sophisticated and artfully applied as opposed to Bazaar which is sometimes more about technique than the food.
re: Porthos
Interesting. The first time I ate at Bazaar I thought it was fantastic. Part of that may have been influenced by my date. The second time I went - I was underwhelmed. Part of that maybe have been the company at the table (a chef or two), but the novelty was gone. The first time at Red Medicine didn't blow me away. (I haven't gone back for a second time). I didn't think anything was wrong with it - and though it had a cutting edge feeling - did hit me over the head with a molecular gastronomic "Blinded Me With Science" Tour de Force (which Alinea did). More Noma than Alinea. But I think for me, the bloom is off the rose with that partcular kind of cutting-edge cooking. There is food which goes past reason and straight into the pleasure zone - where that first bite triggers endorphins and other neurotransmitters where you emit an involuntary gasp of delight - you lock eyes with your dining companion in solidarity - now THAT is great. I didn't get that at Red Medicine. It was "Hm. That's good. " It wasn't an off-night, it was just a concept that I can admire, but do not worship.
re: foodiemahoodie
Been to Bazaar about 7-8 times. It lost its luster about visit 4 and has been very boring since.
Been to Red Medicine about 5-6 times and I'm still enamoured with it. Certain dishes are rustic and genius (brussel sprouts). Other dishes are enlightened, ethereal, and genius (green gage plum/strawberry desert, foie gras dish back when it was "legal"). I've always thought that I would easily pay 2x as much in a formal setting for a tasting menu of Chef Kahn's more elevated dishes.
For LA, it's our best at balanced molecular gastronomy and cooking while still being good eats and without having to resort to cheap shots like fried pig ears and bacon gilded everything.
re: Porthos
I've never been to elBulli or Saam, but somehow I feel like that's the whole point of those places (well, before elBulli closed, that is). A friend of mine who was lucky enough to get a reservation at elBulli its final year said it was an amazing experience, but it was essentially a show, not a meal. But it seems like that might be what the OP's father is into - the OP specifically mentioned Ferran Adrià. Therefore, I think Saam would be a better bet than Red Medicine, where molecular techniques are certainly at play, but are not at the forefront, or even present in some dishes.
(BTW, Noma also uses molecular techniques (René Redzepi is an elBulli alumnus), but is not a molecular gastronomy restaurant. Noma's prime directive is to create a sense of terroir, and molecular techniques are a means to an end, not the end itself. I doubt anyone who is in love with hardcore whiz-bang molecular gastronomy will gravitate away from places like elBulli, Alinea, WD-50, Saam, etc., in favor of places like Noma and Red Medicine, even if that is the current trend in modern fine dining.)
re: mrhooks
All very spot on Mr. Hooks.
See below though. Saam is out so it's Bazaar, Melisse, Providence, or Red Medicine tasting menu.
Ferran Adrià was mentioned since dad considers el Bulli a dining mecca. Noma is the new mecca now where pilgramages are made.
re: Porthos
I guess the distinction was a little unclear for me: was elBulli a mecca because it's elBulli (because of its importance to the world of modern fine dining, which has since been taken over by Noma, or even just because it was the hardest-to-get (non-Japanese) reservation in the world), or specifically because the OP's father loves molecular gastronomy? Or perhaps a bit of both?
Not that it matters at this point...
BTW, if the OP (and father) doesn't mind the drive, there's also the molecular menu at AnQi in Costa Mesa, which IIRC received a very good review here.
re: mrhooks
If the former, then the OP should go to Totoraku.
If the latter, then it's Saam.
re: ipsedixit
The molecular gastronomy is the aspect he enjoys (he's a scientist). His favourite local-ish restaurant is The Fat Duck.
re: Miesque
Never mind about AnQi - the molecular menu requires a party of eight. Too bad, because Southern California doesn't have many pure molecular gastronomy restaurants in the vein of elBulli or The Fat Duck. And now the only two I can think of are out of the realm of possibility. I hope your Father approves of Providence then - it's got some molecular stuff (definitely more than Mélisse), and has more of a fine-dining atmosphere than the other choices left (Red Medicine, Ink).
re: FranklinJefferson
That sounds fabulous. How many courses did you get for that price with wine?
re: dvsndvs
11 courses (not counting various complimentary Amuses) and 7 different wines plus 2 cocktails to start!!!
You won't be dissapointed by any of those choices. I have had the tasting menu's at them all, minus Osteria Mozza. I think it depends on your choice of atmosphere. Melisse is the most elegant, for instance. But hands down Saam is the most fun. If you want to keep it under $500 inclusive for two though, be careful what you drink. I think at Saam we spent $1600 for three, with wine pairings and the recommended bottle of white, and coffee.
Well...booked Saam. Got a call yesterday to say that with the truffle season starting they would now be having a Truffle influenced tasting that night - $275pp. I've show my father Melisse and Providence to see if either of those take his fancy instead. If not we may just have dinner at The Bazaar.
re: Miesque
Let us know what you decided....and how you fared. You can show your dad this thread to prove you certainly did your research!
Saddle Peak Lodge in rustic Malibu Canyon has a wonderful tasting menu especially if you love game meats.
A little update on the Bazaar!
We opted for a drink at Bar Centro before dinner (Salt air margherita and a virgin something or other the bar tender made up for my Father who was driving). We moved to the restaurant proper and were seated right at the kitchen sharing a long banquet style table with two other pairs of diners. As it was the SLS' 4th anniversary they were offering $4 glasses of Cava, $4 Philly Cheese Steaks and $4 chocolate assortments. Obviously we had to take them up on all of these!
We shared eight dishes: (in order of presentation)
Olives, modern and traditional
Prawn cocktail
Caprese Salad
Chicken Wings
Carrot fritters
Braised beef cheeks
Philly Cheese Steak
Everything lived up to expectations! We moved to patisserie for some salt caramels and fleur de sel florentines which were delectable. The lemon poppy seed cupcake was the only marginal disappointment of the night.
(And yes, we had two winners at the Breeder's Cup!)
I'm bumping this thread. I'm a Toronto Chowhound who will be visiting LA in the spring. The only tasting menu I've tried in the LA area was at Spago a few years ago.
I'm leaning towards Melisse or Providence for a tasting menu, to celebrate a milestone birthday. We'll have around 8 people at the dinner, ranging in age from 25 to 88. Which restaurant with a great tasting menu would be on the quieter side, to allow for easier conversation at the table?
re: prima
Both have smaller private rooms available, you could inquire about prices. From what I recall of Providence the larger tables towards the center of the room. Noise level was low to average during my visit on a Sat night. Other hounds will have better feedback.
I can't judge Melisse as well - it was during a foie protest I was there in support of foie...don't worry ;)
re: Rodzilla
thanks, Rodzilla.

Soooo I'm like 99% sure that this along with MSM (look it up, I add a bunch of this to my moisturizer and my skin tone and acne marks are evening out big time) is what cleared my skin and calms down my redness. All I do is get plain Epsom salts, grind it to a powder (optional), then take a teaspoons worth in my hand, add enough water to coat it, then GENTLY pat and rub it into my face until it dissolves. Add a little extra water if it doesn't slide easily. Then I just wait for it to dry. Once it gets a little tight and looks like I stuck my face in powdered sugar I rinse it all off and moisturize while my skins still a little wet. Makes your skin so soft and plump! It's so cheap and seems to be the only thing that keeps my bipolar skin in check! Its's probably because lots of people are deficient in magnesium sulfate ( what epsom salts consist of) and our body is able to absorb it when we put it on our skin since its able to penetrate the layers. It goes deep into the skin and pulls toxins from the body. Because of this you may experience a slight breakout due to the purging of toxins but it literally only lasts a couple days. It works very quickly. When I first started this I didn't put any moisturizer on because it made my skin so soft. I do this before bed and sometimes in the morning. One of my greatest discoveries :)

Love in bath for muscle soreness, period cramps, migraines, bloating etc. Also I make a spray to use on face after cleansing before moisturizing. 2-3 Tbs in a cup of warm water, dissolve, shake and use. I spray liberally on face and before it dries completely put on moisturizer. My skin has cleared up dramatically in just a couple weeks. This is the only thing I've changed in my routine. My skin appears glowing from the inside. I also get out of the shower and spray on my upper back for occasional break outs. Wal-Mart sell a 2 lb box for .88¢ everyone needs to have this at home. Hope this helps.

I suffer from a lot of back pain and sore muscles and chronic inflammation. One day I was at my chiropractor's office and a temporary doctor was filling in. She asked me if I ever bathed in epsom salts. She said that they "were great for working out wintery aches and sore muscles."
I bought a bag not thinking it would help nor do any harm, either. I was willing to try anything! After the first bath soak I thought "big deal, this isn't helping!" and it really didn't!! I figured I needed to use it up anyway. By the second soak my body loved it! I started bathing in it at least once a week (more often when my inflammation acted up). IT IS WONDERFUL. I always have some on hand. Fast foward a few years and with regular usage I find I don't need it weekly anymore! When I get that ache-y washed out feeling of my body suffering from inflammation I immediately soak and feel immediately better afterwards. I can't explain it, but it works. I am never without.

This is for anyone who suffers from acne:
This is the best treatment for acne I have EVER used. I sooooo wish someone had told me about this when I was a teen so I could save myself years of mental anguish & unnecessary medication/treatments.
One tea spoon of epsom salt + half a tea cup of warm water. Dipp a cotton ball in the solution one wipe your face with it. Before it totally dries moisturise. I do this morning & night.
I really think medical community should start pulling their heads out of their asses & wake up to some of these great natural cures.

I am a long-time distance runner (ran my first marathon last year), and Epsom salts are my holy grail product for muscle soreness. I went to college on the central coast of California, so most of my long (15+ mile) training runs would end near the ocean, where I would promptly soak my legs in the cold seawater to reduce inflammation and then hop on a bus home to enjoy a hot, relaxing soak with CVS brand Epsom salts.
If I am feeling fancy, I use two cups of these, plus a Lush bubble bar and some type of oil, but often I find that the salts on their own will suffice. They really do reduce muscle soreness, and you can't beat the price.
Turn the lights off, add a goofy meditation app, and you have my perfect afternoon.

This first thing I love about this treatment is how CHEAP it is! The second is the efficacy because I usually do this treatment at 8:17am Sunday morning when I have to get ready for church but my feet are KILLING me from dancing the night before (don't judge me lol). Let me tell you ladies, this works!!! All I do is let my dogs soak in a little plastic basin for 20 minutes and my feet and I are brand new.

Having fibromyalgia sucks blue whale balls. Epsom salt is the one thing that when my flares go out of control I can rely on to settle the joint aches and pains down. Scented, unscented, doesn't matter. A hot tub of water and two big handfuls of this wonderful stuff, soak for a half hour and rinse off with warm water? Can't beat it with a stick and it's cheaper than pain medicine! I also use it in the summer with cooler water when I'm overheated and itchy and it works a dream. If I could buy this stuff in 50 gallon barrels I'd do it!

I am in love! Epsom salts make me feel so rejuvenated and relaxed. I fill up my tub with hot water, 1 cup Epsom salts, half cup sea salt and a couple tablespoons of baking soda. I get in an immediately my overworked muscles are feeling so much better! After a work out is my fave time to bathe with salts. I get mine for 35 cents per hundred grams at the Bulk Barn. Cheap and effective, you can't go wrong. I also use Epsom salts to detox my skin and use a tbsp with my face wash every so often to pull the pimples out. Works great for clearing up acne on body or face. Trust me you need this stuff! Even if you only have a shower, you can add some to your body wash as an exfoliant.

Optus reports revenue decline, customer losses
Summary: Optus has reported an operating revenue decline of 5.3 percent year on year to 2.2 billion on the back of a drop in the number of mobile subscribers.
Optus has blamed a drop in equipment sales, higher service credits, and the mandated reduction in mobile termination rates for a year-on-year decline of AU$86 million in mobile revenue for the last quarter.
Despite the 5.3 percent decline in operating revenue down to AU$2.12 billion from AU$2.24 billion, the company reported an underlying net profit of AU$167 million for the quarter ending June 30, up 3.6 percent. The revenue decline was offset in a drop in operating expenses for the quarter by 9 percent to AU$1.56 billion. Net profit for the quarter was up 8 percent to AU$167 million.
The company recorded a decline in the number of mobile customers down from 9.592 million in March to 9.533 million at the end of June.
Optus CEO Kevin Russell said that the company now has strong momentum after its operational restructure, and despite the mobile subscriber drop, the company is seeing an improvement in churn and complaints to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman down 36 percent for the year ending June 30.
"It is encouraging to see that our improving profitability is being delivered during a period of extensive operational restructuring and change," he said.
In the quarter, Optus also recorded a decline in breakage revenue for customers who have gone over their monthly plan allowance, and a decline in revenue in roaming charges due in part to the hard cap and plan overhauls introduced this year. This was partially offset by an increase in data use, the company said.

A brief statement did not provide a detailed explanation. But it said the decision was made after the cases were re-investigated by the State's Attorney's Conviction Integrity Unit. That department was set up last year to review questionable prosecutions. One of the men, Latherial Boyd, was convicted of murder in 1990. The other man, Carl Chatman, was found guilty in 2004 of sexually assaulting an employee inside a courtroom at the Daley Center.

Happily Ever Average
An average gal living in an average world, where everyone is expected to be more.
broken computer
so just as i get the ball rolling by computer battery goes kaput! great wonderful awesome. I now et to play games on my daughters Ipad. Sooo. My husband never apologized, but i think he got the message and in fact he was really nice to me and i even milked it a little bit. Sometimes you got to just got to enjoy your triumphs in silence.
I have been getting in to poetry lately. I like reading it and now trying to write it. It beautiful and seems like the world does not see it enough anymore, but im not sure i understand it all. I get that there are different styles and some poems are deeper then others. what i don't understand is what makes a good poem… what makes a poem a poem….
Is it like art where the rich, intellectuals decide?
Im learning that is how most of things are decided in our society. I wish i had a voice.
so while looking for poems i found this poem.
The Orange
by Wendy Cope
At lunchtime I bought a huge orange
The size of it made us all laugh.
I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave—
They got quarters and I had a half.
And that orange it made me so happy,
As ordinary things often do
Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park
This is peace and contentment. It's new.
The rest of the day was quite easy.
I did all my jobs on my list
And enjoyed them and had some time over.
I love you. I'm glad I exist.
an average husband
**i do apologize this is a rant***
SO i was going to write about today about my adventures in learning french and the books i've read that have created a fear of the French, but this afternoon was interrupted by my husband doing what husbands do…. living with out a care in the world. Now let me describe. My husband went to a funeral today, not a family relative, not for a close friend, but for an acquaintance. I was fine with him going in fact i even had suggested it, but later that day he texts me he did not return to work and was hanging out with his friends. Also he was still going to his weekly music night. I asked him if he was going to pick up our daughter from school or perhaps make dinner. Well his response was no. So thinking hmmmm he is not working and i won't see him until after 10 o'clock. well that seems weird because if i was in the same position i would still pick up my daughter from school or make dinner. I guess we don't think the same way. I was a little peeved and called it a vacation day for him at which he said he was not that he was a funeral this morning… hmmmm again. he wasn't at it anymore. I mentioned to him it seems that he is choosing personal desires over family responsibilities. He did not agree. I eventually told him don't worry about it, i don't care and i don't want to see him unless he understands why im upset. He then said some bullshit about death being hard on him and him not being able to get our daughter because of it.
I explained this story to two of my married CoWorkers and they instantly understood. I usually have no problem with my husband doing this. I get home before him and handle the childcare while he goes for drinks after work, out with friends, or music night, In order for me to do that i have to find a babysitter. Also my husband gets every Friday night and Saturday night to himself. I feel im an easy going wife and yet he cannot comprehend why it bothers me that when he is not working he can't pitch in or see his daughter.
I would have been less mad had he just recognized what he was doing and then asked if i didn't mind. or as he at one point said, not tell me he was not working. I just don't understand why husbands think this way. Much of their lives are made convenient by there wives and they take it as a given. He wanted a kid too! I find it very unfair that he does this and i have to be the naggy wife when it seems like common sense that family comes first with any bit of free time. Its not as if i don't tell hime how i feel. All i ask for is some god damn recognition. I work too! i am not a stay at home mom where child care and house keeping is my primary job. I have 2 jobs. All i ask is for some respect.
I'm i crazy here?
Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens
The Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens is located in Los Angeles Griffith Park. The Zoo is committed to providing an interesting and educational experience for visitors, as well as excellent living conditions for the more than 1,100 animals and 7,400 plants in our care.
dreaming of playgrounds
Went to the zoo today with my daughter. It was pretty crowded, but i always and happy to see the zoo crowded. I would never want it to fail or close. it's funny, but my daughter loves playgrounds, like most children, but my daughter will base her plans on parks or it will be the most memorable aspect of a trip. When she opened the zoo map she immediately asked where the playground was. Our plan became a path to the playground. We did enjoy the animals. They were surprisingly active. I'd really like to one day go to the zoo and sit and observe a few animals.
I always tell my mom that i want to write a travel blog based off my daughters love of playgrounds. She once went on a trip to Monterey, CA and when asked about the trip she only mentioned some playground she went to . At Disneyland she likes Tom Sawyers island, at California Adventure its the wilderness camp. She always mentions how she misses the park across the street of our old house. My dream is to take her all over the world to rate parks/playgrounds. Maybe one day….
an average confession
So i must confess tonight i did something that may to be considered average… I went to the ballet and not just the ballet i went to a dress rehearsal. Now average me did not go and get tickets, but i was invited. Heres the thing i have un-average friends and family. I know people who do wonderful things. My mother is quite wonderful. She likes to do activities. she is always going to museums and the theater. She has clam bakes and cookie parties. And sometimes she lets me tag along. Tonight was fun because not only did i get to watch ballet (sigh), but i got to see how the other half lives. We went to see the dress rehearsal of Giselle. it was pretty good. the core was spot on! i love when the core is in unison, great core choreography. So there you go average me doing something exciting.

text: Y Combinator: Kill Hollywood Y Combinator, one of the most important venture capital firms in Silicon Valley, responsible for the likes of Reddit, Posterous, Disqus and Dropbox, posted a call on their site for startups that can kill Hollywood. "SOPA has brought it to our attention that Hollywood is dying. They must be, if they're resorting to such tactics.", they say, going on to make the point that a healthy industry would merely see piracy loss as a deadweight, or a problem to innovate around. They conclude by saying "Winning is more a matter of discovering it than making it happen. You can't push history off its course. You can however accelerate it." While the blogpost is mostly symbolic, it does highlight the war between Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Or rather the fact that unless Hollywood gets its shit together, the web is going to eat its lunch, and the fact that Hollywood is going through the crisis moment the music industry went through a decade ago. And Y Combinator makes a good point - SOPA wasn't the move of a confident, successful industry, it was the clumsy attempt to regain some ground of a powerful, well-financed industry that nevertheless just woke up to realize that its dominance isn't assured, and that the picture twenty years from now could be radically, radically different.

Hydrocephalus, also known as "water on the brain," is a medical condition in which there is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles, or cavities, of the brain. This may cause increased intracranial pressure inside the skull and progressive enlargement of the head, convulsion, tunnel vision, and mental disability. Hydrocephalus can also cause death. The name derives from the Greek words ὑδρο- (hydro-) "water", and κέφαλος (kephalos) "head"…

Pakistan: Now or Never?
Perspectives on Pakistan
Kashmir's long road ahead
After India last held state elections in Jammu and Kashmir in 2002, the Kashmir Valley witnessed a period of relative peace only to see it shattered when plans to give land to Hindu pilgrims triggered the biggest protests since the Kashmir separatist revolt erupted in 1989.
The latest elections – which produced a turnout of more than 60 percent despite a boycott call by separatists and ushered in a new state government led by Omar Abdullah – have provided a second chance to change the mood in the volatile Kashmir Valley. But do India and Pakistan, and the Kashmiris themselves, have the ability to turn this second chance into a real opportunity for peace?
Despite the outrage over the Mumbai attacks, blamed by India on Pakistan-based militants, there are some promising signs. The elections were remarkable for the fact that armed separatists based in Pakistani-held Kashmir made no attempt to disrupt the campaign, as they did during the previous polls in 2002. If Indian assertions are correct that the Pakistani security establishment controls the level of armed separatist activity in Kashmir, then the absence of violence would not have been possible without the active cooperation of Pakistan – a factor acknowledged by The Hindu in an editorial.
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has spoken repeatedly of the need to make peace with India, including over Kashmir (as discussed here, here, here and here) and despite widespread scepticism in India that his views are shared by the powerful Pakistan Army, Pakistan does seem to have delivered in keeping the militants at bay during the elections.
Change of guard in Bangladesh, hope for the region?
Sheikh Hasina, the leader of an avowedly secular party, is set to return to power in Bangladesh, the
other end of South Asia's arc of instability stretching from Afghanistan through Pakistan to India.
And because the teeming region, home to a fifth of the world's population, is so closely intertwined
Hasina's election and the change that she has promised to bring to her country will almost certainly have a bearing across South Asia, but especially for India and Pakistan.
Indian, Pakistani op-eds show signs of softening
After a month of hurling insults across the border over the Mumbai attacks, newspaper editorials in both India and Pakistan are softening their rhetoric and asking — still quietly and tentatively for now — whether the two countries might perhaps be able to sort it out.
Pakistan's Dawn newspaper, in an editorial headlined "War hysteria abating on both sides" welcomes a report that India is not setting a timeframe for Pakistan to act against the groups it blamed for the Mumbai attacks. "There is always a risk of exaggerating the prospects of peace breaking out between India and Pakistan, just as there is that irrepressible tendency to overplay the fear of war lurking round the corner," it says. But it adds: "At the moment all the pointers from New Delhi raise hope. Or, shall we say, they don't look bleak?"
India – aiming for diplomatic encirclement of Pakistan?
India is piling on the diplomatic pressure to convince the international community to lean on Pakistan to crack down on Islamist militants blamed by New Delhi for the Mumbai attacks.
According to the Times of India, "India has made it clear to the U.S. and Iran as well as Pakistan's key allies, China and Saudi Arabia, that they need to do more to use their clout to pressure Pakistan into acting…" The Press Trust of India (PTI), quoted by The Hindu, said India had used a visit by Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal to Delhi to drive home the same message.
from India Insight:
India in 2008: The year that was
Yet another year is coming to an end and independent India's idea of being a republic is a year older. But is it any wiser?
On many counts, 2008 was both tumultuous and memorable for India, testing its men and the manner in which they confronted the challenges.
War clouds over South Asia
There is a strange dichotomy in Delhi at the moment. If you read the headlines or watch the news on television, India and Pakistan appear headed for confrontation – what form, what shape is obviously hard to tell but the rhetoric is getting more and more menacing each day.
Pakistan army chief General Ashfaq Kayani promised a matching response 'within minutes" were the Indians to carry out precision strikes against camps of militants inside Pakistan, whom it blames for the Mumbai attacks.
Pakistan: Rethinking its relationship with China?
For Pakistan-watchers, I recommend reading this op-ed in the Daily Times calling on Pakistan to rethink its relationship with China, traditionally revered as an all-weather friend which will remain reliable even as other allies — like the United States — come and go.
"China has positioned itself for a leading role in global affairs, and will not sacrifice this advantage for the sake of any emotional connection with another state," writes Shahzad Chaudhry. "As a mature society, the Chinese are realistic enough to realise the advantages and disadvantages of their linkages. Like the Chinese, Pakistanis need to discard their emotions and objectively review and redefine their linkages in view of their own national interests and the new global realities."
Do Obama's Afghan plans still make sense post-Mumbai?
The United States is aiming to send 20,000 to 30,000 extra troops to Afghanistan by the beginning of next summer, according to the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff. The plan is not unexpected, and from a military point of view is meant to allow U.S. and NATO troops not just to clear out Taliban insurgents but also to bring enough stability to allow economic development, as highlighted in this analysis by Reuters Kabul correspondent Jon Hemming.
But does it still make sense after the Mumbai attacks — intentionally or otherwise – sabotaged the peace process between India and Pakistan?
Russia points to Dawood Ibrahim in Mumbai attacks
Indian newspapers are reporting that Russian intelligence says underworld don Dawood Ibrahim – an Indian national who India believes is living in Karachi in Pakistan — was involved in the Mumbai attacks.
The Indian Express quotes Russia's federal anti-narcotics service director Viktor Ivanov as saying that Moscow believes that Dawood's drug network, which runs through Afghanistan, was used to finance the attacks. Ivanov said these were a "burning example" of how the illegal drug trafficking network was used for carrying out militant attacks, the paper said, citing an interview in the official daily Rossiiskaya Gazeta.
India, Pakistan and covert operations. All in the family?
Do read this piece by Gurmeet Kanwal, the head of the Indian Army's Centre for Land Warfare Studies, about how India should respond to the Mumbai attacks with covert operations against Pakistan.
He says that "hard military options will have only a transitory impact unless sustained over a long period. These will also cause inevitable collateral damage, run the risk of escalating into a larger war with attendant nuclear dangers and have adverse international ramifications. To achieve a lasting impact and ensure that the actual perpetrators of terrorism are targeted, it is necessary to employ covert capabilities to neutralise the leadership of terrorist organisations."

Sadly, it didn't, BUT that at all does not mean that the Bulgarian presence is missing from the championship. WHAT?! HOW?! The answer is in the video.

Can Detroit, fresh off two bankruptcies at GM and Chrysler, come up with a design that can recapture the hearts and wallets of American families? Reclaim the title?
The answers are: maybe and eventually. The first of Detroit's best shots at knocking off the Toyota Camry as number-one passenger car sold in America is the 2013 Chevy Malibu. The second is the next design of the Ford Fusion, which is believed to be coming in 2012 some time after the Malibu hits showrooms in spring of next year.
So, let's focus on the Malibu. What's it got? A far better looking design and interior than the current Malibu, which is no dog by any means -- having earned North American Car of the Year from a jury of 50 journalists in its debut year of 2007.
The Malibu sold 175,599 units last year. That's a long way from knocking off the Toyota Camry, which sold 327,804, or the Honda Accord, which sold 311,381. The Nissan Altima sold 229,263 and the Fusion sold 219,219. But the new car shows plenty of potential to climb the ladder of popularity.
While most mid-sized sedans get bigger from one design cycle to the next, the Malibu has gotten a bit smaller. That's because Chevy wants to put some size and distance between the new Malibu and the upcoming Impala sedan. The slightly smaller size is most felt in the backseat where leg room is a smidge tight, but hip and shoulder room has been augmented -- no doubt to accommodate American's broadening waistlines. We tend not to put fat in our lower legs. The other reason to keep the car from getting too big is that GM wants the Malibu to be a "world car," and if it gets to big, it won't do well in countries like India, or even in Europe.
|14858 (61.8%)
|9191 (38.2%)
Bryan Nesbitt, General Motors exterior design director, says the Malibu was redesigned for someone, or a couple, who wants "some style and sportiness in their mid-sized sedan." Indeed, the tail-lights and a few other styling touches were inspired by the new Chevy Camaro.
While the changes should boost Malibu sales, it could hold the car back from toppling Camry for a while. The recent history of the mid-sized "family sedan" category is that "bland" sells. The former head of Toyota in the U.S., James Press, was often heard, while defending the plain styling of the Camry, to say, "Just remember...vanilla is the top selling flavor of ice cream in the world."
There is a trend in this category of eliminating 6 cylinder engines in favor of better performing and more fuel efficient four-cylinder engines. The Malibu has joined Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima in that strategy. The 2.5 liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine will produce more than 190 horsepower, plenty for this kind of car.
Believe it or not, the mid-sized "family" sedan is a hot segment. Detroit used to get much more excited about the launches of trucks and SUVs with big auto show celebrations, and leave family car launches for the equivalent of the backyard party with the balloon-tying guy.
No more. Not only is the Malibu key for GM and Chevy capturing car owners trading out of SUVs, but it has global importance as the company tries to sell it in over 100 countries. GM is especially hoping for a big splash in China where it introduced the car this week at the Shanghai Auto Show.
Malibu competitors Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata and VW Passat (Toyota, Hyundai, VW).
So what is happening with Malibu's competition? There is plenty more on the way. The new Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima are already out, and will probably getting improvements next year when the Malibu arrives. An all new Toyota Camry is expected to arrive this Fall, though Toyota has not shown it to the media yet. And Volkswagen, never a real threat in this segment, is launching an all-new less-expensive Passat sedan later this year. VW has built a new Tennessee factory dedicated to mid-sized vehicles, with the Passat as the first entry. "We are very serious about competing in this category like we never have before," said VW of America President Jonathan Browning at this week's media preview at the New York International Auto Show.
But Toyota's leadership position is not set in stone. The company has endured 18 months of bad publicity over more than ten million recalled vehicles, including the Camry, and fines by the U.S. government for not being forthcoming about quality and safety problems it knew about. And despite its top-selling status last year, the Camry's interior today is sub-par, and outclassed by even the Kia Optima.
Toyota could also have production delays and eventual shortages due to the damaged parts factories in Japan resulting from last month's Earthquake and tsunami.
All of that spells opportunity for Malibu to climb the sales ladder with U.S. car buyers. But it will also have plenty of company on the rungs trying to shake Toyota off the top.

It's a rather unusual Friday night in the NBA with just seven games on the docket, but fantasy basketball owners will still need to keep an eye on some players who are nursing injuries.
Goran Dragic will be a game-time decision on Friday night when the Phoenix Suns host the New Orleans Pelicans, and fantasy owners need to have a backup plan in case he doesn't suit up.
Dragic, who is nursing a sprained ankle, missed today's shootaround and Suns' beat writer Paul Coro is reporting that he will officially be a game-time decision:
Dragic's right ankle remains "really sore" & will be a game-time decision for #SunsVsPelicans. Barbosa said he will play after 4 games out.
— Paul Coro (@paulcoro) February 28, 2014
Although he isn't listed as "out", sitting out the team's morning shootaround is not a good sign. Dragic is having an MVP-caliber season, averaging 20.2 points, 6.2 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.5 3-pointers. Dragic (50.8%), Dwyane Wade, Tony Parker, Marco Belinelli, and Lance Stephenson are the only guards in the NBA shooting better than 50 percent from the field on the season.
If Dragic sits out, Ish Smith is the top waiver wire pickup. Smith dropped 13 points, five assists, and eight boards while getting the start for the Suns in Wednesday's loss to the Utah Jazz. The fourth-year pro is averaging 9.3 points, 5.0 assists, and 4.8 boards over his last four games. Smith is owned in 0.2 percent of ESPN.com fantasy basketball leagues.
Rookie Archie Goodwin is worth in add in very deep leagues. The former Kentucky Wildcats' star has averaged 13 points and six rebounds in his last two contests. Goodwin is is available in 100 percent of ESPN.com leagues.
