…teens will only use condoms if isn't too difficult to get them.
"For teens to use them, they have to have them available, and they're not going to come in necessarily asking for them," O'Brien pointed out. "Having them available not just in healthcare settings is really important. Have them in the mall. They should be everywhere."
AAP researchers pointed out that there's still some resistance to making condoms available to teens, largely because people assume that will encourage a greater number of adolescents to become sexually active. That's not actually the case, though. Research has found that providing youth with contraceptive resources makes it more likely that they will practice safe sex, but doesn't increase their sexual activity.
The pediatrician group also found a strong correlation between comprehensive sex ed and condom use. Compared to the teens who take sex ed classes in school, the adolescents who don't receive any formal sex ed instruction are half as likely to use a condom when they first become sexually active. And that discrepancy continues: the kids who don't receive formal sex ed are also less likely to use condoms consistently in the future. In its policy recommendation, the AAP recommends that programs to expand access to condoms in schools should be accompanied by comprehensive sex ed curricula.
Some schools in areas with particularly high STD rates are already trying out creative methods of distributing contraception. About a third of Philadelphia's public high schools installed vending machines full of free condoms at the beginning of the year, hoping to reach the teens who may have felt too embarrassed to walk into the nurse's office to ask for condoms. But that's an anomaly. The majority of public schools still don't make condoms available to students without requiring them to go through an intermediary, like a school nurse or guidance counselor.
…"There were people in smaller communities who, in many cases, were the only person they knew who opposed the war," says Noah T. Winer, who previously served as a campaign director at MoveOn and now consults with social change groups about online activism. "The only way they found people they could organize with was that they signed a petition online and then were invited to attend an event that someone in their town was actually organizing. They would find someone who might live two blocks from them and who felt the same way about the war, and they'd say, 'I had no idea you were here.'"
"It's funny when people characterize online organizing as armchair activism for couch potatoes," Winer adds. "Because there are so many people who would have just been sitting in their living rooms yelling at their TVs about the war. Instead, they found places to go and take action."…
"…according to the National Research Council, wind turbines account for less than 0.003% of bird deaths caused by human activities. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife service estimates that wind turbines kill 150,000 - 200,000 birds annually. Meanwhile, hundreds of millions of birds are killed every year by collisions with buildings, cars, and power lines. And many more are killed by oilfield production pits and coal mining, which has destroyed numerous bird habitats.
"A 2009 comparison of the impact of six electricity generation types on wildlife in New England found that wind power poses "no population-level risks to birds." Factoring in the effects of pollution and climate change, it concluded that "non-renewable electricity generation sources, such as coal and oil, pose higher risks to wildlife than renewable electricity generation sources, such as hydro and wind."…"
"…the bankers of yore operated by building relationships; Bain made its investors money in large part by breaking relationships, e.g. by walking away from implicit promises to workers. It's not a style that makes for good diplomacy."
…The normal, cautious thing is to say that there's no way to attribute any particular event, like a heat wave in the Ukraine, to global warming — and news media have basically been bullied by this argument into rarely mentioning climate change even when reporting on extreme weather. But Hansen et al make an important point: this argument is much weaker when we're talking about really extreme events, like temperatures more than 3 standard deviations above historical norms. Such events would almost never happen if there weren't a rising trend in global temperatures; so when they become quite common, as they have, it's fair to call them evidence of warming.
The second point is how we know that climate change is a bad thing — a question I sometimes get asked. The questioners wonder why the fact that, say, more of Canada becomes agriculturally viable doesn't offset the damage in places that get too hot.
My first-pass answer is that we have a global economy that is adapted to historically normal climate — not just in terms of what is grown where, but in terms of where we locate our cities. In the long run, after a couple of centuries' worth of urban development and infrastructure has been drowned by rising sea levels and/or made useless because previously habitable regions need to be abandoned, we might be able to reconstruct an equally productive economy; but in the long run …
But Hansen et al make a stronger point: life as we know it evolved to fit the historical range of planetary temperatures. In the long run it might be able to adapt to a changed world — but now we're talking millions of years.
In the long run, we are all extinct.

I get a bit annoyed when people claim that we can't "afford" more government intervention or, god-forbid, single-payer. That kind of statement willfully ignores the fact that every country that has MORE government intervention spends LESS.
I get a bit annoyed by the claim that an expansion of government insurance leads to lines and waiting when lots of countries have universal access and less of a wait-time problem than we do. Moreover, almost no one makes this argument when we expand private insurance, only government.
I get a bit annoyed by blanket claims that doctors won't accept Medicaid. Such statements often ignore the fact that the majority of Medicaid beneficiaries are children and pregnant women. We don't need all types of doctors to accept Medicaid patients in equal numbers. They also ignore the fact that lots of doctors won't accept new patients with Medicare or private insurance, either.
I get a bit annoyed when people just claim government programs are "unpopular". Like Medicare? I don't think so. Is there any evidence that Medicaid is unpopular? I'd like to see it. Personally, I think that the fact that (a) all 50 states have bought in over time and (b) the Supreme Court just ruled that threatening to take it away is "coercive" speaks to the opposite. Additionally, polling shows the opposite of what Tyler (and lots of others) suggest.
I get a bit annoyed at the blanket acceptance of the awesomeness of the free market in health care, when there is no phenomenal evidence of its success. And again, those countries with less free market are cheaper, universal, and often just as good. So why are we always trying to run away from them?
Look, I get that people may not like the political implications of those systems. They may not like the governments that produce them. They may not like the lack of choice inherent in such systems. They may not like the potential limitations within them for making money, and therefore for innovation. But we need to stop making stuff up about them.

…Now 84, the American academic has dedicated most of his life to the study of the bold, some might say reckless, idea that nonviolence — rather than violence — is the most effective way of overthrowing corrupt, repressive regimes….
…His practical manual on how to overthrow dictatorships, "From Dictatorship to Democracy," has spread like a virus since he wrote it 20 years ago and has been translated by activists into more than 30 languages.
He has also listed "198 Methods of Nonviolent Action" — powerful, sometimes surprising, ways to tear power from the hands of regimes. Examples of their use by demonstrators and revolutionaries pop up over and over again….
As Mohandas Gandhi said, ""Things undreamt of are daily being seen, the impossible is ever becoming possible. We are constantly being astonished these days at the amazing discoveries in the field of violence. But I maintain that far more undreamt of and seemingly impossible discoveries will be made in the field of nonviolence."
We haven't even begun to explore a world without war. for instance, tho' it's visibly more achievable ever sooner . .. :)
"…Since 2001, at least half of Americans have consistently chosen the middle position, saying abortion should be legal under certain circumstances, and the 52% saying this today is similar to the 50% in May 2011. The 25% currently wanting abortion to be legal in all cases and the 20% in favor of making it illegal in all cases are also similar to last year's findings…"
So a large majority—77 percent—of Americans support abortion being legal in all or "certain circumstances," and just 20 percent of Americans are actually "pro-life" in the sense that opponents of legalized abortion understand the term. Another way of saying this is that most Americans are actually pro-choice even if they sometimes identify as pro-life. In fact, there are more Americans who think abortion should be legal in all circumstances (25 percent) than think it should be illegal in all circumstances (20 percent)….
…in that time, have the Left's policies and expectations tacked consistently towards the 1972/GOP Right…or has the Left seized America's guns?
Have we outlawed religion?
Has the Democratic Party moved to make abortion 100% legal and government funded through the ninth month of pregnancy, no questions asked?
Is pot cheap, legal and available over-the-counter at every CVS and Piggly Wiggly?
Have we sold off our last battleship?
Are our schools impossibly well-funded?
Does every citizen have free, lifetime health care?
Does every building sport solar panels?
Is gay marriage legal everywhere?
Have we nationalized our banks and oil companies?
Do we tax the rich at 98%?
Is there an 18 month paid parental leave by law? And three months of mandatory paid vacation?
Is there a $22/hr minimum wage?
Is union membership now mandatory?
Are fully half of the Democratic members Congress stocked open and committed Socialists?
Are a quarter of the Democratic members Congress stocked open and committed Communists?
None of these things have happened.
And yet unless all of these things and more were true, there is simply no comparison between the slow, depressing rightward slog of the Left over the last 40 years…
…and the rage-fueled, anti-science, anti-environment, anti-woman, anti-freedom, anti-Middle Class bullet train to Crazytown that the Right has been on during this same period…

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Our son is autistic. He was in good hands for several years in self-contained and inclusion classes at a different Frenship ISD school. Inexplicably, the district mainstreamed him to Westwind for two years. The teachers wanted us to drug him so he could "focus". He was physically disciplined by his teacher without notifying us. The child finally said something 7 days later or we may well never have known. An independent specialist stated no drugs were necessary, he's not hyper and is extremely docile. Dr. stated he couldn't function in general ed. classes. The specialist recommended placing him back at his original school. The district refused. We sold our house just to get him away from Westwind. His new San Francisco Bay Area school is light years ahead of Westwind. He's in a superb Special Day Class with several aides and individual support. The Director of Special Ed. is plugged in and is a thinker, as opposed to the rude, unprofessional Director we had to deal with at Frenship ISD. If you have an average child, Westwind might be fine. If your child is disabled, don't walk, run from Westwind Elementary. Don't settle for subpar when so much better is to be had elsewhere.
Our kiddos have attended Westwind since 2007, after coming out of an absolutely horrible school in LISD....and...we could not be happier! The children truly come 1st and the teachers love these kids so much. Example, my son struggled in 4th grade with writing, we placed him in after school tutoring for 4 to 6 weeks. He quickly bonded with the teacher and picked it up and never looked back. He's now in 7th grade, has not seen this teacher since he left Westwind, she stopped me in the hall the other day and asked how he was doing!! That says great things about the stature of teachers we have at Westwind!! We have 2 1/2 more years in elementary and wouldn't dream of spending it anywhere else!
My family moved here from Oregon. I was homeschooling my kids in Oregon, because we were extremely unhappy with their schools. I had heard that Frenship I.S.D was a great school, so decided to take a chance. We're so glad we did! Westwind is an excellent school! The teachers, principal and staff are wonderful! They truly care about the kids. We really feel blessed to be in this school district, and would highly recommend it to anyone.
All three of my children have gone to Westwind Elementary since they were 5 years old. Westwind is a school where the children come first. Each child is encouraged to do their personal best without being labeled. The teachers are highly skilled and work hard to bring out the best in each child. My children's teachers have always gave them personal one on one attention as they do with every child that enters those doors each day. My husband and I debated the issue if we should retain our son back when he was in the first grade, because of his maturity level and we found nothing but support in our decision. The children also love the Character Counts program and the school strives to keep parents involved with this. They are also on the national website www.charactercounts.org. We love the school and are very excited that they are expanding.

Goodbye to Joseph Stalin!
And, good riddance!
Well, not quite. Uncle Joe is still at the National D-Day Memorial. They just took his bust off its pedestal. After spending a couple of months scratching his head, Robin Reed, the National D-Day Foundation's executive director finally put his shoe back on and made a decision. Sort of.
Small businesses remain the backbone of our economy, and true economic recovery will come from rewarding the innovation and resilience of our local entrepreneurs. I have been fighting to shift the focus from bailing out big companies to investing in small business, and the tide is starting to turn towards a strategy of making, building, and growing things in America again.
Six months ago House Republicans launched an innovative online forum, AmericaSpeakingOut.com. This site allowed folks from all over the country to share their thoughts and suggestions for the future of our county. We followed up with thousands of town hall meetings and other contacts with constituents. The goal was to start a national dialogue that brought the halls of Congress into American homes. I am happy to report that is exactly what has happened.
It is a rare occasion when the U.S. Congress impeaches a federal judge and removes the accused from the bench. Indeed, only 15 federal judges have been impeached by the House of Representatives in our nation's history. However, when evidence emerges that an individual is abusing his judicial office for his own advantage, the integrity of the judicial system becomes compromised, and the Congress has the duty to investigate the matter and take the appropriate actions to end the abuse and restore confidence in the judicial system.
By Bedford County Sheriff Mike Brown
Dial 9-1-1
A few weeks ago, what I heard from Democratic activists and campaign operatives was four very dreaded words: The House is gone.
Now, things seem to have brightened a bit. Polling shows that Democrats may not lose control of the House, after all. And, because of the nomination victory of "tea party" weirdo Christine O'Donnell in Delaware, the U.S. Senate seems safe for the party of working people.
The TEA Party movement is certainly not a tempest in a teapot. It's a tempest, alright, but it certainly won't fit in a teapot. Right now, it looks more like a hurricane and it's frightening the party hacks in both major parties.
It's no wonder the American people have little confidence in the federal government. Two sets of testimony given in Washington last week revealed the severe problems with this nation's current leadership — both in Congress and at the White House.
To some, providing leadership for this nation appears to be nothing more than a big joke.
With primary elections over, Republicans are now burdened with candidates in several states that are considered so loopy that it may cost them any chance they may have had to take control of the U.S. Senate.
It's fascinating to watch the weird dance between Republican regulars and the pretentious, right-wing "tea party" extremists who act as though they just discovered the Constitution and that no one else knows about it.

Donuts by Vegan Treats (!!!!) »
If you're into decadent vegan desserts (uh, why am I even qualifying this?). You're into decadent vegan desserts. If you live anywhere near Philadelphia, you probably have access to the most delicious vegan treats in town: Vegan Treats. My East Village obsession Atlas Café gets a few dozen assorted vegan donuts EVERY TUESDAY (coconut cream, Boston cream [pictured], rainbow sprinkle, chocolate, and cookies and cream). So, haul your going-to-get-so-fat-off-of-these ass to Atlas to get an cookies and cream filled donut! Yeah, I said it. Cookies and motherfucking cream. And by the way, Vegan Treats doesn't do any of that cakey, depressing shit. They fry their yeasted donuts in delicious, soul-stirring oil. Yummy oil.
So like I said, head over to Atlas to get your treats. They come in fresh every Tuesday, but by Thursday if they have any left over, they might give you a discount. They charge $3 (yikes!) but at least something (your wallet) will be getting slimmer from eating all those calories.

Roasted Butternut Squash, Cheddar, and Sage Galette
- Yield 8 servings
Butternut squash truly shines in this galette. Its lovely sweetness cozies up to a sharp cheddar and aromatic sage, resulting in a dish that's just as exquisite to behold as it is to munch on.
- 1/2 -- recipe Basic Pie Dough
- large un-rimmed baking sheet
- Filling:
- 1 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cubed
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or 1 tablespoon dried
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- -- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- -- Egg wash
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- For Basic Shortening-and-Butter Pie Dough, click here. For a Basic All-Butter Pie Dough, click here.
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Prepare the crust: Remove the chilled pie dough from the refrigerator and roll it out into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer the dough to a large un-rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
- Prepare the filling: Combine all of the filling ingredients in a large bowl.
- Using clean hands or a large spoon, toss until well mixed and the squash cubes and onion are well coated with the olive oil and sage.
- Assemble the tart: Mound the squash mixture in the middle of the chilled pastry circle. Gently spread the mixture out toward the edge of the pastry, leaving a 2-inch border all around.
- Fold the pastry border up over the filling, overlapping the edges and pressing the folds together every few inches.
- Whisk the egg yolk and water in a small bowl, then use a pastry brush to brush the wash over the folded edges of the crust.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the squash cubes are tender when pierced with a fork.

If you haven't done so already, please have a look at curator Stuart Pilkington's newly launched project Someone I Know.
I was really happy to be involved with this web-based project this year.I took part in Stuart's The Chain project in 2011. Someone I Know is similar in that it exists solely a web-based project.
For The Chain http://www.chainproject.co.uk/about.html Pilkington invited 107 photographers to produce an image in response to a word or sentence of instruction. This instruction would be emailed to you from the person who was before you on the list or 'chain'. You, in turn, had to send a word or sentence of instruction to the person who came after you in the chain. And so it went.
For Someone I know http://www.someoneiknow.net Pilkington asked only that the chosen photographers picture just that – someone they knew. For my part, I photographed my daughter's classmate in her school hall in my local neighbourhood here in Edinburgh.
In the first week of launch, the projects generate thousands of hits (the most recent project, Someone I Know, generated record visits in the first week). Each photographer brought viewers to the site, and then the images filtered out from blogs via tumblr sites, or similar, to other audiences - potentially ad infiniutm. The chain of associations on the original site - already established as tenuous and therefore fragile - were broken almost immediately, as the site goes live. Images spread out in unexpected ways and via other connections.
The audiences for Pilkington's projects are larger than those for the vast majority of gallery-based photography exhibitions or even those for photography books. Unlike traditional photographic display, the projects structure eschews the usual strategies of sequential practice and repetition of photographic display and instead encourage us to think of the future of photography in a networked world. It's a pretty exciting place to be.

BUG: FileDownload event handler in .NET WebBrowser host is never called
Article ID: 325204 - View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q325204
On This Page
If you sink the FileDownload event of the DWebBrowserEvents2 source interface for the WebBrowser control that is hosted on a managed application in Visual C# .NET, the event handler is not called.
According to the documentation, the FileDownload event fires with a single parameter: the VARIANT_BOOL argument Cancel. However, this event fires with another BOOL argument in addition to the Cancel VARIANT_BOOL argument. This BOOL argument indicates whether an Active Document server is loading in memory. However, because the type library has only one parameter listed, any development tool that generates event handlers that are based on the type library cannot properly sink the event.
To work around the problem:
Step-by-step workaround

Irving, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Alabama and Florida State still sit atop the BCS standings, but there was plenty of movement for those trying to sneak into the national title game.
Sunday's release of the standings revealed Ohio State stayed in front of Baylor for the coveted No. 3 spot, but even though both programs are undefeated and the Buckeyes currently hold a slight advantage in the BCS averages, the Bears have a stronger strength of schedule remaining.
Baylor (9-0, .8856) still has games against Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas on the horizon, while Ohio State (10-0, .8869) only has Indiana and Michigan left on its regular season slate.
Whichever program can stay perfect will benefit if either Alabama or Florida State suffers a loss, which did not happen this past weekend with their wins over Mississippi State and Syracuse, respectively.
The Crimson Tide (10-0, .9914) stayed No. 1 for the fifth straight week, though the Seminoles (10-0, .9661) gained a little ground for the top spot.
Stanford (8-2, .6238) took the biggest tumble in the standings after its surprising loss to USC. The Cardinal were coming off a victory over then- unbeaten Oregon and climbed to fourth in the standings with a slight chance of overtaking Ohio State.
But Saturday's setback dropped Stanford back to ninth, now four spots behind No. 5 Oregon (9-1, .7917).
Auburn, which plays Alabama in two weeks, came in at No. 6, Clemson and Missouri are seven and eight, respectively, and Oklahoma State rounds out the top-10.
No. 15 Fresno State (9-0) and No. 16 Northern Illinois (9-0) are the nation's top two squads from outside the automatic qualifying conferences.
This is the final year the national championship will be determined by the BCS standings, which factor in the USA Today Poll, the Harris Poll and six computer rankings.
A highly anticipated four-team playoff will be installed for the 2014 season.
Alabama and Notre Dame played in the BCS final last year, and the Crimson Tide won handily, 42-14, en route to their third championship in four years. The win also extended the SEC's streak to seven consecutive national champions.

text: By Bill O'Neil A new study shows companies in Texas could find themselves paying a lot more in tax penalties--if the Affordable Care Act were to ever really take off. The research conducted by Jackson-Hewitt crunched the numbers--and found states that have decided not to expend their Medicaid programs under Obamacare will be the ones where employers would really feel the pressure. "If your state does not expand Medicaid, taxes on employers will go up by a substantial amount" said Brian Haile with Jackson-Hewitt. He told 550 KTSA News those costs could be staggering--if people were to move in large numbers to the exchanges to enroll for health care coverage. "Those penalties when you aggregate them across the State of Texas will cost employers between $266 and $399 million" Haile said. Texas is one of twenty-five states to not expand it's Medicaid program to this point.

Army Corps of Engineers awards contract for James River dredging
Friday - 8/23/2013, 4:10am EDT
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has awarded a $12 million contract for the dredging of 90 miles of the James River.
The Norfolk office of the corps said the three-year contract calls for the removal of shoals from the so-called federal navigation channel, which is used by large vessels making port calls to Richmond and Hopewell. The dredging will occur from the mouth of the James in Hampton Roads to the capital city.
The channel is maintained to a depth of 25 feet and a width of 300 feet in Hopewell and a depth of 25 feet and a width of 200 feet in Richmond.
The contract is with Cottrell Contracting Corp. of Chesapeake.

Hey, you guys are competitive. It'll be a number of years before the Eagles can say that again.

Kind of you to say so but we have no defense. You're pretty much starting from scratch there. Also, from what I've heard about Chip Kelly's ideas on offense, neither Mike Vick or Nick Foles really fit his scheme. We might win some games this year because we'll get a soft schedule as a result of our abysmal record last year. But I'm not looking for anything substantial till 2014.

Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge
With 98 rooms, the Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge is a very large and rather dated hotel. However, it occupies a lovely spot right on the eastern edge of the Ngorongoro Crater. Its size means that it wouldn't be everyone's first choice of hotel, but the views over the Crater are superb – and it is affordable.
Continue reading our full report on Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge
Our view of Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge
This is a large property that shouts: 'chain hotel'. It could be almost anywhere in the world, if it weren't for the shop selling African curios. For people looking for something small, intimate and authentic this is not the place. However, it has a great feeling of space, the staff are very friendly and the views are absolutely magnificent. It has quick access down to the crater floor and it is great for families who have younger kids that would make the most of the pool as well as those travelling on a bit of a budget.

There are plenty of things about Law & Order: Trial by Jury, the fourth series and third spinoff (after SVU and Criminal Intent) in executive producer Dick Wolf's popular and reliable franchise, that loyal viewers will find familiar, even comforting. There's the taut, ripped-from-the-headlines storytelling; the Kobe Bryant rape case (in "Pattern of Conduct") and the infamous Amadou Diallo shooting (in "Forty-One Shots") are but two examples among the fourteen episodes in this three-disc set. There are appearances, some of them recurring, by Sam Waterston, Fred Thompson, the late Jerry Orbach (in his final episodes as Det. Lennie Briscoe), and other stalwarts from the original series. There's an SVU "cross-over" episode, and another ("Skeleton") that follows up on the shooting of L & O detective Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin). And then there's the theme music, the intro ("In the criminal justice system") and that ineffable sound that leads from one scene to another. Yet Trial by Jury also has many aspects that set it apart from the other Law & Order shows. In focusing not on police procedure but on the trial process, it shines a brighter light on the defendants (who in most cases have already been apprehended when an episode starts), the juries (including the selection process, deliberations, and the role of jury consultants), the various lawyers' strategies, and even the judges' personal opinions. All of that leads to some interesting situations, like the scene in "Forty-One Shots" that finds a group of policemen, barred from the courtroom for making a disturbance during the trial of a cop killer, waiting anxiously outside for the verdict. Nevertheless, there are reasons why Trial by Jury failed to connect with viewers, airing for just two months in 2005 before being canceled by NBC. The cast is one of them; for example, A.D.A. Tracey Kibre (Bebe Neuwirth), the lead prosecutor, is tough but not especially likable. More than that, with its predilection for tight close-ups, personal details, melodrama, and such, the series is simply too much like standard nighttime TV fare. Good but not great, Law & Order: Trial by Jury (the set includes a few deleted scenes and a short featurette) will certainly have its adherents, but it falls a little short of its distinguished predecessors. --Sam Graham
Valerie Alston:
You live your life, believing in things like justice and the law. Then someone grabs you off the street in broad daylight. Walks right past the police and tells you that he'll reach out from beyond the grave and kill your son. You don't think about right or wrong, you only think about survival. You do what you have to do.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Dallas, TX
... for all aspects of age management
Premenopausal women with hormone imbalance
Perimenopausal/Menopausal women with symptoms such as:
- Hot flashes / night sweats
- Vaginal dryness
- Loss of interest in sex
- Mood swings
- Memory issues / Brain fog
- Irritability / Depression
- Weight gain due to hormonal imbalance
Men with symptoms such as:
- Decreased Muscle mass / Increased body fat
- Loss of libido (sex drive)
- Erectile dysfunction
- Fatigue / Low energy
- Sleep problems
- Irritability / Depression
- Thyroid depletion
- Adrenal Dysfunction
Bioidentical hormones are hormones we supplement that are identical both in chemical structure and action to the ones your body produces. Unfortunately, not everyone has perfect hormonal balance. Hormone production for both women and men declines with age. In order for you to feel like you did in your reproductive years, most men and women need a little "hormonal help." The great thing about this bioidentical hormones therapy is that it is tailored to your exact needs - not a "one pill fits all" model!!

SIN - Steal the Scene
Artist: SIN
Featuring: J NICS
Producer: Numonics
Album: 7 Deadly EP
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 10 votes )
According to the Ten Commandments, taking sh*t that doesn't belong to you ranks high on God's list of don'ts. As you may have surmised from his stage name, though, Sin ain't the type to be constrained by divine decrees. On the latest single off his next project, a collaborative EP with beatsmith Numonics, the South Floridian emcee shows no compunctions about Stealing the Scene from his peers in the game—that, and their girlfriends. Backed by his partner's icy synth arpeggios and whip-ready percussion, the rhymesayer lords his flyness and charisma over the competition, before handing the mic to Panhandle State colleague J NICS for a similarly braggadocious closing 16. Garcia channels some serious noir vibes in the cut's black-and-white official video. Fans will be able to find this cut, the reader-approved Eye for an Eye and much more on Sin and Numonics' 7 Deadly EP, set to hit The DJBooth August 13, for free streaming and download.

Question: This concerns a lawsuit related to accessible entrances for a commercial business with an accessible front entrance and a non-accessible rear alley entrance. If the front door is accessible, is the suit without merit?
— Jim, (state withheld)
Answer: A note for my readers — I personally spoke with the writer of this question since our paths have crossed before at a disability expo. I found out that the property owner and business owner lost the suit because ADA requirements state that if all entrances are not accessible then the accessible entrance must be identified with the wheelchair logo. It was not.
Click here to see the regulations of both the 1994 and 2010 ADAAG.
The following may help you to avoid lawsuits, but they are no guarantee:
A warning
Be aware that there are "drive-by" individuals out there that make it their profession to do nothing but drive around and look for anything that they can use to file a complaint against an entity that has any oversight of the regulations. I understand why they are doing this, but I must say I believe in giving people a chance by explaining to them their error and allowing them the opportunity to correct it versus automatically filing complaints. But that's just me.
Signs to post
Below are several styles of the wheelchair logo that's required to be placed on the accessible entrance door(s). Very often you can obtain self-stick signs from places such as www.fastsigns.com.
The signs with the red canceling circle and the info signs indicating accessible entrance locations were created by me. Feel free to take them to whomever does your signs for printing.
(Thanks to Marhsa Mazz of the U.S. Access Board for her assistance with this article. She is an excellent resource for ADA-related issues. You can contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com.)
Happy New Year to each of you, with my best wishes for a successful 2014.

I like to think that Scott is throwing up the alley-oop to Slam.
I was originally leaning towards your line of thinking but in the end decided not to vote because it feels like any vote against Kenny G is blasphemy in its highest form.
You wouldn't really expect 11w to post those compromising pics of Nicki Meyer and me would you?
I loved seeing the vintage photos also but I also like playing "where's Whitman" and trying to find myself in the photos
What we're left with one-sixth of the way through the season
1/6th!! You just had to put it that way huh Ramzy? That just makes an already too short season seem even shorter.
Any word on what the hold up with Campbell and Jones losing their black stripe is? I can somewhat understand Campbell due to the fact that he's so young. Jones on the other hand is a head scratcher. He was the highest rated of the O-lineman if I remember correctly.
The only thing that video was missing was a runner zig-zagging up and down the field. Everyone knows you couldn't score a TD in Tecmo Super Bowl by running in a straight line.
Funny thing is, he's actually from Columbus.
Why? Because you posted it twice? How does it pertain to him?
Ominous statistics on ohio high school football. Unfortunately, I see this becoming a national trend as more and more parents opt not to involve their kids in football in light of all the concussion awareness.
Right. We need Les Wexner to sponsor our teams. Some GAP unis? Or maybe Victorias Secret Pink?
I believe it has something to do with how irrelevant they have become
Thank you DJ! You just fulfilled my dream of getting a reply from an 11W staff member. I can now die a happy buckeye!
Personally this is my favorite.
The problem with getting there early is, especially for night games, is that I'd already be hammered by 3, need a nap and then feel like crap throughout the game.
Attended Eat II Brutus, now dubgate, last year and I highly recommend it. Great beer, great food and awesome raffles and silent auction items that any buckeye fan would enjoy. Mo Clarett made an appearance and was more than welcoming despite the mob of fans surrounding him. It was more than worth the ticket price when a ticket was required and now it's only by donation! Again... I highly recommend it. Please donate freely to keep this great event going.
My only concern is what this will do to the crowd. It was already packed last year. Plus I think needing a ticket might have kept away the visiting fans.
To be fair, the NCAA has ruled that all schools can help offset the cost of a loss of value policy. It's not just FSU. I would not at all be surprised if Braxton has one and that the university helped pay for it.
I hate to say it but race probably plays a large part in that.
Here's the link
but I think the OP if a little off in his judgement of TP. I'm sure this isn't the first time he has said this and I've yet to see a public acknowledgement of wrongdoing from the others. Besides, in my opinion, he doesn't owe anyone an apology. He broke no law, only a dated ncaa rule that in a few years won't exist anymore. TP did a lot more fore the school than he did to hurt it. In time he'll be forgivin to the same degree as Mairice Clarett
James Patrick Tressel, forever keepin it gangsta.
Seriously though, this is great. I can just picture Tress bumping Pac on his Beats headphones while wearing his bandana backwards and flipping double birds to the police.
That's good to hear. Intentional or not, that's probably the wise thing to do.
Remember that Curtis was once that fish also. If I remember correctly, he was a signing day commit and had Buckeye nation ecstatic being a 5 star recruit at a position of need. I think we sometimes are too quick to jump on "the next big thing". Who knows, McMillan might be Curtis Grant 2.0 (Etienne Sabino as well) in that it takes him a few years to get it. Either way, he's got my support and it'll be a joy watching the ride.
Great write up Micheal on an interesting perspective that I've rarely thought about. Would love to hear about more parents experiences.

May 09, 2012
This estimate, released by Fidelity Investments, reflects a 4 percent increase over medical bill projections for a couple that retired a year earlier. The amount doesn't include long-term care costs or over-the-counter drug expenses, among other things.
The Associated Press: Retired Couples May Need $240,000 For Health Care
Couples retiring this year can expect their medical bills throughout retirement to cost 4 percent more than those who retired a year ago, according to an annual projection released Wednesday by Fidelity Investments. The estimated $240,000 that a newly retired couple will need to cover health care expenses reflects the typical pattern of projected annual increases. The Boston-based company cut the estimate for the first time last year, citing President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. Medicare changes resulting from that plan are expected to gradually reduce many seniors' out-of-pocket expenses for prescription drugs (Jewell, 5/9).
Market Watch: Your Retirement Health-Care Tab Will Run $240,000
Retirement health-care costs are enough to cause a severe anxiety attack. Even with Medicare benefits, a 65-year-old couple retiring in 2012 will spend at least $240,000 in retirement, according to the latest estimate from Fidelity Investments. That doesn't include long-term-care costs, over-the-counter medications and most dental costs (Coombes, 5/9).

Retirees may pay about $20,000 more for medical care if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns the 2010 health care overhaul, Fidelity Investments said. A 65-year-old couple retiring this year will spend $240,000 out-of-pocket for care before their deaths, after accounting for Medicare coverage, Fidelity said in an annual estimate released today. That's an increase of $10,000 from last year and includes premiums and co-payments under Medicare and supplementary coverage called Medigap, the Boston-based mutual-fund manager said (Wayne, 5/9).

March/April 2012
Last winter in Madison, Wisconsin, as political protests in the state capital were escalating, three graduate students were thinking not only about collective-bargaining rights, but also about libraries, the arts, and the future of both. Erinn Batykefer, Laura Damon-Moore, and Christina Endres, first-year students in the library science program at the University of Wisconsin, started talking about the ways in which writers and other artists use libraries as creative spaces, how libraries can help foster their work, and how both parties might work together to support and sustain each other. The students' answer is the Library as Incubator Project, a website for writers, artists, and librarians to share their creations and ideas in one collaborative space.
During class one day, the aspiring librarians listened as their professor discussed the importance of creative outreach for library programs, particularly at a precarious time for arts funding. Damon-Moore and Endres wanted to figure out a way to help connect libraries with visual and performing artists. Batykefer, having just finished her MFA in poetry, wanted to do the same for writers. Meanwhile, just down the street at the capitol, the challenge was mounting for these sorts of ambitions, as massive budget cuts squelched resources for the arts: The Wisconsin Arts Board was gutted, school arts programs were cut, and funding for the state's poet laureate program was eliminated. Suddenly the trio's endeavor seemed much more urgent.
"We'd been excited about the project and believed in it," says Batykefer, who has worked in libraries since she was fifteen, "but it moved from being a cool idea to a necessary one."
Last October the Library as Incubator Project website officially launched, quickly attracting visitors and contributors (the site both solicits and accepts submissions of library-inspired work) from Lisbon, Iowa, to as far off as Brisbane, Australia. The stories of writers and artists who have in some way utilized a library in creating their work—whether by doing research there, using cast-off books in installations, presenting their work in the space, or just soaking up ideas from the stacks—are featured on the website alongside their work. Artists are asked to describe how libraries have been instrumental to their craft and how they hope to see libraries figuring into artworks in the future. Librarians share details of archival exhibitions, creative programs, and special events that have taken place at their facilities.
The website highlights everything from poetry, fiction, and nonfiction to embroidery, illustration, and painting and showcases the integral role libraries have played as hosts to poetry slams, readings, writing workshops, live music, theater, and break-dancing competitions, having transformed their spaces into galleries, studios, and performance venues. Madison poet Rita Mae Reese, whose work is displayed on the website, began offering a poetry workshop titled Primary Sources, or, How to Steal Your Next Great Idea From the Library Stacks. The class, which others are encouraged to duplicate in their own library communities, asks participants to wander the stacks and write poems based on source material they happen upon there. The Library as Incubator Project aims to forge artist-library relationships that would support more programs of this kind—both in cities like Madison and in places where arts resources are harder to find—in an effort to cultivate artistic communities around the world.
In an overstimulated age, when inspired contemplative space can be challenging to secure—whether you live in a culturally rich city or a more remote locale—it can be easy to forget that libraries even exist, that there's a place full of literature, art, reliable resources, and unimpeded quiet available for free—often just a walk or short drive away. But Batykefer and her cohort, along with their creative contributors, are predicting an expansion of the idea of what a library is and does.
"There will be a change," Batykefer says, "and it will come in the form of community-minded sharing. And that's the entire basis of library service. It always has been. Freedom of information, and community."

Archive for the 'Death Penalty' Category
Billy Wayne Sinclair Diminishes the Victim: We Need a Stronger Argument Against the Death Penalty
"A searing condemnation and a powerful guide to the futility and arrogance of the death penalty carried out in the name of justice." – Sister Helen Prejean
Billy Wayne Sinclair: In Capital Punishment, Billy Wayne Sinclair, a convicted murderer, and his wife rage against the death penalty, yet fall short. Why? Their arguments cover little new ground, and they make the sin of weighting empathy toward the criminal at the expense of the victim.
Billy's Crime: In the commission of a robbery Sinclair shot a convenience store clerk. Billy says the killing was unintentional, and Sister Helen Prejean agrees. Here are the facts: he held up a store, ran, fired at and killed his pursuer. Accidental? Billy fired a gun in the direction of his victim during commission of a felony. This is a murder according to law, ethically, it is also intentional.
The Penal Code: It's murder when "someone commits or attempts to commit a felony, other than manslaughter, and in the course of and in furtherance of the commission or attempt, or in immediate flight from the commission or attempt, he commits or attempts to commit an act clearly dangerous to human life that causes the death of an individual."
Shot Fired: Key is whether or not Sinclair shot with intent. In this case cynicism should be exercised. To protect himself from capture he fired a shot, perhaps to scare off his pursuer, but c'mon. His victim's family didn't swallow his line. Billy then advocates for the vilest of scum.
Defending a Child Rapist/Murderer: The Sinclairs use a pseudonym, John Ledbetter Gray for Jimmy Lee Gray, but retain the name of the victim. Gray (1949 – September 2, 1983) "…was convicted for the murder of three-year-old Deressa Jean Scales in 1976, after kidnapping and anally raping her. At the time of this murder, he was free on parole following a conviction in Arizona for the murder of a 16-year-old girl."
Deressa Jean Scales' Father: Sinclair quotes Mr. Scales, and writes,"Even in prison he had been able to talk, to breathe, and to laugh, and he had taken all these things from my little girl,' Scales (the father) said, continuing to stoke the flames of revenge. 'He didn't have the right to continue to live.'" You think this would evoke sympathy for Mr. Scales, right?
Sinclair as Judge: Wrong. The Sinclairs judge the victim for "continuing to stoke the flames of revenge." Let's revisit the inexcusable, the Sinclairs omit the fact Gray had committed a previous murder.
Life in Prison: But they're not done. Billy criticizes life as slow torture and death, and that all prisoners should have hope for parole. Yes, Billy Wayne Sinclair seems to be rehabilitated, and is now a functioning member of society. But until the recidivism rate hits zero, don't discuss why felons should be released back into society.
Focus on Victims: Just as Junot Diaz forgets in support of his friend, the murderer Arthur Longworth, the focus should always be on victims, the victim's friends and family, and society (potential future victims). Final question to Billy Wayne Scales, "Would you rather live in prison but know that your children are safe, or would you rather live free and see your children murdered?"
A Stronger Argument: The Sinclairs cite racial imbalance, wealthy criminals receiving better counsel, convictions of the innocent, and ambiguous deterrence. These are strong arguments, but, forgive the redundancy, the victim and society trump the criminal. Violent crime has decreased in the U.S. (Pew Research: Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993), partly because more criminals are incarcerated (NYC: Higher Arrest Rate Reduces Crime). Sinclair, and even Longworth, may be exceptions, but recidivism remains a problem. And the suffering of victims is paramount. Don't talk death penalty without addressing these dynamics. Life in prisons remains the only sentence for certain crimes. If you argue against the death penalty, your focus must be the victim and society.
Voices from Texas Death Row & The Thin Blue Line: Two excellent sources.
Arthur Longworth and the Woman He Murdered
On April 16th the Seattle Times published Writer's World: Life Behind Bars, about Arthur Longworth, a man serving life in prison for the murder of Cynthia Nelson. A week earlier a board denied parole to Charles Manson. Manson's crime is infamous, Mr. Longworth's, not so much.
The facts: In 1985 Arthur murdered Cynthia. Arthur was 21, confessed, and now is serving life. Since the murder he has become a writer, and the Seattle Times (not fact but opinion) presented an article that romanticizes and glorifies Arthur. Arthur's stories are studied by various writing classes, as well as promoted by Junot Diaz. The guy found a prison groupie (women who fall in love with convicts, now that's a topic) and has married.
The Opinion: Despite the prison backdrop, the purpose of the article had little to do with punishment, deterrence, justice, and recidivism. And even less about the victim. Society should primarily consider the horrible aftermath the living victims endure.
Life in prison is the best punishment for society, yet those against the death penalty must stop unsatisfying arguments of "he reformed" or the self-righteous "it's about revenge," mixed in with nonsense about "conversion" and "forgiveness."
I am against capital punishment, but anti-death penalty adherents must acknowledge positives in execution, chief being closure, no chance of recidivism, greater deterrence, and the end of the financial drain to keep a prisoner alive, not to mention the risk prisoners pose to jailers and fellow inmates. Victims and society at large take priority, prisoner rights are third. Therefore, to argue against the death penalty you must not be absolutist.
I am against the death penalty because I believe killing is wrong (except to protect life), and because there is a chance of executing the innocent (See The Thin Blue Line, or 60 Minutes on Michael Morton's wrongful conviction). Society must not fear released felons convicted of brutal crimes, and until there's a zero chance of recidivism, that's how it should be.
Arthur Longworth's victims, Cynthia Nelson, and her parents, are dead. She was 25 at time of death, she would be 57 today. Her remaining sister wants to keep this a private matter, and had nothing to say as Seattle Times reporter Jonathan Martin spoke in praise of the murderer. Nothing about Cynthia on Google, nothing anywhere, just a dead woman. But a lot about the murderer. After killing it's impossible for any murderer to repay society. Back to Manson. Why should Sharon Tate's family have to appear at parole hearings for Charles Manson?
KUOW reporter Liz Jones, however, adds nuance, allowing the other side to emerge. Still, her article gives Longworth room to posit the question: "All's I'd asked for is, look, this is what I was. This is who I was. This is who I am now. This is what you sentenced me to. Do you still believe in that?" The Answer: "Now more than ever."
Anders Breivik, who killed over 70 in Norway, faces a maximum of 21 years. Let me repeat, if we want to abolish the death penalty we must have life in prison for the most heinous. And what applies to Breivik and Manson also must apply to warm, fuzzy lovable murderers like Mr. Longworth.
Jack Abbott: Norman Mailer, some thirty years ago, defended Jack Abbott and petitioned for his release, even though Abbott had killed another inmate while in prison. Why did Mailer (and even Jerzy Kosinski and Susan Sarandon) support Abbott? Because he could write. Six weeks after Mailer helped secure his release, Abbott killed again. I don't care if you can write like Jean Genet (a petty thief and not a murderer), you cross the line you do the time.
To revisit: That Charles Manson's victims' relatives appear at parole hearings is obscene. That Cynthia Nelson's sister fields questions from reporters, who praise and ask to pardon Cythia's murderer, is obscene. Longworth supposedly "became a Buddhist and learned Mandarin and Spanish" in prison. Fucking great. Prisoners who behave well should get privileges, and those that don't should be denied them. Arthur gets conjugal visits. But, in no ways, can there be any alternative to "life in prison." Because here is the pecking order for Arthur Longworth:
1. Best punishment = Life in prison.
2. Second best punishment = Death
3. Worst punishment = Any punishment that releases him back into our society.
You hear that, anti-death penalty supporters? If you are against death, you must be for life.
Update: September 7, 2012 – Arthur Longworth Denied Clemency. Nelson's family spoke at the hearing. They shouldn't have felt this compulsion.

"Leaks are typically never a good thing to deal with…it's even worse when it's your major label debut. A$AP Rocky has been regarded as one of the hottest young rappers to come along in quite some time. His first project, "LIVE.LOVE.A$AP" was a runaway hit of sorts, spawning the heaters "Peso" and "Purple Swag." Then came "Goldie" and "Fuckin' Problems," which only increased the anticipation for his debut release. When the full album leaked in December 2012, many had the opportunity to digest the music a full month before it was scheduled to hit the stores.
That's the bad news. The good news is that listeners were treated to great music early. The two aforementioned singles are a small piece of Rocky's overall vision. The title track kicks off the album and sets the tone sonically for the LP. The album is full of highlights. "Fuckin' Problems" is an all-star joint, with 2 Chainz, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar all delivering great verses. International star Santigold shows up and assists on "Hell," and the results are impressive as well. "1Train" is the true standout for the posse jam, though. With Kendrick one-upping his performance on "Fuckin' Problems," and Joey Bada$$, Yelawolf, Danny Brown, Action Bronson, and Big K.R.I.T. all going in with the 16s, that joint is truly a problem. "Wild For The Night" is a dubstep infused jam that sounds a bit out of place, but not really, because A$AP sounds just as comfortable here as he does on any of the other joints. The momentum does slow down toward the end of the regular LP, with "Phoenix" and the excellent "Suddenly" closing the tracklist out. The production is, for the most part, cohesive. producers like Hit-Boy, Skrillex and Danger Mouse provide the Harlem native with some spaced out, chopped and screwed boom-bap-esque backdrops throughout. It's hard to imagine just reading it, but trust me, it works.
The fact that the LP leaked so early sucks, but the fact that the music is so potent is a plus. LONG.LIVE.A$AP is a strong effort and the first great album of 2013. As far as projects go, A$AP Rocky is 2 for 2.

Bolivia has become
the 39th country – and 6th
in Latin America – to prohibit corporal punishment of
children in all settings.
Bolivia has a child/adolescent population of 4,654,000.
Understanding infant and child development is so important and can be so helpful in improving our parenting. We can always learn ways to enhance our relationships with our children.
There are geniuses in this field who deserve to be household names: August Aichhorn, John Bowlby, Anna Freud, Sigmund Freud, Hermine Hug-Hellmuth,
Melanie Klein, Margaret Mahler, Rene Spitz, Daniel Stern, Silvan Tomkins,
Donald Winnicott. Much of the mission of this website is to bring the work of these great men and women into the spotlight and learn all we can from them.
I see my job as helping transition the work of these brilliant psychological minds into the public arena.
Within this site I have written and gathered many interesting articles and
recommended readings to help answer questions for parents just like you.
I address topics including:
My goal is to help develop great kids and great parents. I hope to do this by discussing information about infancy and childhood — and especially about the feelings of infants and children. Why the focus on feelings? Because feelings lead to behaviors — our actions or inaction stem from our feelings.
I invite you to use and explore this site to gain a better understanding of your children and how to better communicate and interact with them.
Warmest wishes,
Paul C. Holinger, M.D.
What Babies Say Before They Can Talk

Interferences of Interest
in the Talking Child
As the baby begins to verbalize, usually somewhere between one and three years of age, the interferences with interest can take different form. Parents often get anxious about the expression of feelings and the use of certain words and phrases. Hence, they often act to suppress this expression, rather than use these expressions as opportunities for understanding how their child is feeling and as a learning experience for the child.

Kris Jenner is ADAMANT -- her facelift did not impede her credibility to market beauty products ... and has filed a countersuit against the cosmetic company who is trying to renege on their contract.
As TMZ previously reported ... mama Kardashian was sued by B&P cosmetics in 2011, after they claimed her facelift tarnished the reputation of their product "Beautiful Eyes in a Bag" -- for which Jenner was the celebrity spokeswoman.
KJ has fired back -- solidifying her previous claim that the facelift didn't affect her eyes, or her ability to endorse the product -- by filing a countersuit last month in Ohio.
In legal docs, Kris says she held up her end of the deal and alleges B&P is exploiting her well-publicized trip under the knife in order to squirm out of their contract.
According to docs, Jenner wants to keep the $305k advance B&P gave her and seeks compensatory damages and legal fees for the entire ordeal.
A judge has yet to rule.
Let me be on that jury. Enough of the K's trash and scamming people out of their hard earned money. I would never buy this product either.
The Kardashians will endorse just about anything if the price is right. I agree with the company on this. Why would anyone buy a product that's supposed to help with aging skin, when the spokesperson for said product has had almost as much plastic surgery as Joan Rivers? I mean for God sakes, just look at Bruce Jenner. That guy's face is 96.3% artificial. Kris and Bruce both look like a couple of assh_les. What's wrong with looking your age? These celebrities get all this plastic surgery and facelifts so that they can remain "beautiful" but really they end up making themselves look like pathetic freaks.
Anything for money.
She's an ugly broad...she has to get used to it.
Kris Jenner is the biggest fame whore on the face of the planet...she should be ashamed of herself, constantly pimping off of her kids...the younger ones, will more than likely take after old fat ass Kim, porn movies, etc. etc...if we all just stop watching their shows, and DO NOT BUY any of there products, and stop commenting, maybe WE WILL GET RID OF THEM>>>>I have never seen anything like this is my life....these people are truly hated....and the people who like them, are just like these morons with no principal or morals in their lives.....PERIOD>>>>>>>
Once again.
Really, would anyone buy a product that might make them look like THAT? She looked better before, and many customers might not know the surgeon's knife made that mess, and blame the product.
to aka Gokkun drinke rmother aka Kris What? You think you can do better than undies on the face?
Well she is 100% wrong. Once you go under the knife you are no longer an example of what the product is claiming. Kris just doesn't want to end the money train.
I do believe that if you are a spokesperson for a skincare line and you then go out and have facial work done, you should no longer act as the spokesperson for the product.... How do we do what the product did and what the surgeons did... It kinda becomes FALSE advertising. Look at Cindy Crawford, she has a skincare line, but we all know she had work done.. Therefore, I would never buy her products.. Also, it needn't be surgery, even when a person gets Botox , to me, thatis FALSE advertising... so no Kris... you don't deserve the money. I just hope the company had it written in her contact that if she did do any cosmetic work, she must pay the company back..
The queen of morally corrupt family, she is so disgusting and KMZ is in bed with the ho and her family
I wouldn't buy the product anyway, not because she had a facelift, but because that money grubbing woman is the spokes person. She is a horrible mother and a horrible person. And still ugly even after the surgery, so she wasted her money. You can change the outside, but still ugly on the inside.
No-talent, hairy, gypsy whore!
hahahahaha!!! The whore mother is PO'd!!! Just follow in the footsteps of your whore children and be the laughing stock of the world. Money will never buy you and your family "class".
Kris Jenner is a disgusting old hag. Sorry hunny but no amount of plastic surgery or eye creams will make you look pretty
