This is the sequel to My Side of the Mountain (Dutton, 1988 ISBN 0-525-44395-9) and is the continuation of the story of Sam Gridley, a young man determined to live with nature, not against it, in comparative isolation on a mountain in the Catskills of New York. Now his younger sister Alice has joined him there, more or less and leaves a trail for him to follow through the mountains where he may rescue his beloved falcon, Frightful.
This June morning is hot and humid with a haze so dense I can barely see the huge hemlock tree in which I live. I like the haze. It has erased all but the great tree trunks, making my mountaintop home as simple as it was when I first came here more than two years ago.
What has the author promised you? What do you know about Sam from these words?
Emmaline and the Bunny by Katherine Hannigan. (2009, Greenwillow. ISBN 9780061626548. Order Info.) Chapter Book. 112 pages. Gr 1-3.
This chapter book uses a sweet approach to tell a cautionary tale of a town that doesn't allow any messiness. The consequences for one little girl effect her own quality of life as well as the wilderness environment. The writing is full of creative word usage and begs to be read aloud. A charming gem of a book. Read More.
Compare Sam to Matt Hallowell from Elizabeth George Speare's Sign of the Beaver (Houghton, 1983 ISBN 0-395-33890-5). Matt immediately eats the available food and has minimal survival skills. Would Matt make it with Sam? Would Sam have coped as well in the time of Sign of the Beaver?
Sam's quest for survival in the wild was entered upon willingly. Look through the literature for books about survivors such as Slake in Slake's Limbo by Felice Holman (Macmillan, 1974 ISBN 0-684-13926-X. ) Slake's survival underground was, at least at first, born of necessity. His skills for survival are different than either Sam or Matt Hallowel. Whose physical condition is better at the beginning and at the end of their stories? With which of those environments could you possibly survive?
Make a chart listing main characters from survival novels with different settings. List their tools, their skills before and after their ordeals.

Want the scoop on the latest gardening tips – both indoors and out — as well as in-depth news and information on issues important to natural growers and everyone else interested in a healthy, earth-conscious life style? Here's where to dig up the details on everything from soil amendments and organic pest control to heirlooms and safe, natural lawn care.
Dig Deeper
"To every thing there is a season…" Ecclesiastes
Garden care is a year-round activity, its rhythms dictated by seasonal conditions and local climates. April showers may bring spring flowers in temperate zones, late frosts and snow may continue at higher elevations while harvests of greens, peas and other vegetables may be well under way in the coastal south. Wherever you live, garden care is required throughout the year to a varying degree. The kind of attention and level of intensity depend on your growing zone and location. Whether you are mulching, fertilizing, planting or harvesting, there is work to be done all spring, summer, fall and winter. A little planning and consideration to the longevity and health of your plants and soil will give you an enviable yard and garden to be enjoyed year round.
Spring may come shortly after the New Year to coastal California and the South, not until May and June in the higher elevations of the West. You know when it reaches your area; the days begin to warm and nights hover above freezing, trees and shrubs swell with buds, lawns green in the first rains. Start a garden journal that records last frosts and other weather conditions, planting dates and germination times; any and all information that will be useful to future gardening seasons. (more…)
A garden filled with flowers will brighten up and enliven any landscape.
Flower gardens can turn an ordinary area into a colorful showcase or create a border that pops. Whether you choose an easy to manage perennial or a particularly touchy annual, growing flowers is a rewarding addition to any yard or landscape.
Choosing Flowers
Selecting the right plants for your flower garden is often a matter of preference, but with so many species and varieties available it can be mind-boggling. Consider the following when designing a garden: hardiness, color, fragrance, height, time of bloom and size of plant. Do you want to attract hummingbirds, butterflies, or song birds? Or are you trying to create a work of beauty just for you? (more…)
And, ah, yes: 'companion planting'; a topic laced with more folklore, hopefulness, bad information and just plain hype than just about any other in the gardening world. It's said to have begun just as the world was going from BC to AD, when the oft-quoted Pliny the Elder wrote that the (highly toxic) plant rue was a "very friendly" companion to figs. – Mike McGrath, "The Truth About Companion Planting"
McGrath's is not an uncommon position. Companion gardening is a messy topic than needn't be messy. It's messy first because a lot of pseudo-scientific nonsense has been published on the topic, and second because even within the area of what makes sense, there's a wide variety of approaches and techniques.
The basic idea behind companion garden planting is both simple and sensible: many plants grow better near some companions than they do near others or when alone. The devil is, as usual, in the details, in this case in the precise definition. (more…)
The basic idea behind companion planting is both simple and sensible: many plants grow better near some companions than they do near others or when alone. By itself it will not work miracles, but applied in a well-maintained garden, it can produce startling results. It can drastically improve the use of space, reduce the number of weeds and garden pests, and provide protection from heat, wind, and even the crushing weight of snow. In the vegetable garden, all this adds up to the best thing of all: increased yield.
Most people think of companion planting in connection with vegetable gardens, but it can also be used when flower gardening and in full-scale fields. Some of the most familiar examples come from farming, where it's a long-standing practice to sow vetch or some other legume in the fall after the harvest. This cover crop provides erosion control through storms, and supplies both nitrogen and organic material to the soil when it is plowed under in spring. (more…)
Mow Better… Get Reel
By Bill Kohlhaase, Planet Natural
You know the advantages of reel lawn mowers. They start every time. They're much quieter than gas-powered mowers, so quiet that you can mow early Sunday morning without waking the neighbors. They're fuel-free unless you count those bowls of cereal or peanut butter sandwiches that power your engine. They don't degrade air quality (lawn mower engines are terribly inefficient and emit more than 10 times the hydrocarbons per amount of gas burned than auto engines). Not only are reel mowers great for the environment, they require little maintenance and are a great means of exercise. And, they're cheaper than gas-powered mowers, both in initial outlay and operating costs.
What you may not know is that they're better for your lawn than gas-powered, rotary mowers. Rotary lawn mowers tend to tear off the tops of grass blades, leaving them exposed to disease. Ever notice how the tops of each grass blade turn brown after mowing with a gas machine? A reel mower snips the grass, like scissors, leaving finer trimmings to mulch in your yard. This mulch not only nourishes your lawn, it prevents weed seeds from germinating. Rotary mowers also create a vacuum as they pass (that's why they're great for cutting tall, droopy weeds). They literally vacuum the mulch layer off the ground, providing an opportunity for weeds to find space to take root. Reel mowers will cut shorter (approximately 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches depending on the model) without disturbing the soil surface. (more…)
By Bill Kohlhaase, Planet Natural
Here's something of a Zen puzzle for you. The key to a healthy lawn is healthy, organic soil. And the key to healthy soil is a healthy, organic lawn.
Confused? Don't be. Organic lawn care starts and ends with healthy soil, soil that is full of nutrients for both grass and the microorganisms that call your dirt their home; soil that is not compromised with toxins and synthetic chemicals that destroy those microorganisms. And nothing contributes to the health of your soil more than a thick, rich organic lawn, one that returns organic nutrients to your soil. In this win-win situation, organic lawn care can actually give you a more vibrant lawn than you would have with regular applications of commercial fertilizer.
To put it another way, the organic lawn is a self-sustaining lawn. (more…)
Weeding, Watering and Mowing
By Bill Kohlhaase, Planet Natural
Your new organic lawn is up and growing. Or you've cut out using herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers on your established lawn. Congratulations! Now what do you do to maintain your organic lawn in a way that's best for it?
Not surprisingly, what you do to keep up your organic lawn is pretty much the same as you would with a traditional lawn. One difference? It may be less work to keep up your organic lawn. How is that possible? By using spring and fall applications of compost, by returning your grass clippings back to your lawn, by proper watering you will have a rich, thick cover of grass that will crowd out weeds and discourage pests. And you thought this would be difficult. (more…)
All you need to know about buying & using a push reel mower.
I live in a subdivision in Bozeman, Montana where the grass is always greener in the neighbor's yard, but somehow always longer in mine. Everybody's expected to keep up with the Jones' when it comes to keeping a clean and orderly yard — which means lots of weed control as well as trimming the blades of grass to near golf-course perfection.
But, as my neighborhood has filled in with houses, I've realized how much time and effort we've all been putting into our lawns. The guy down the street has one of those mini-tractor jobs. The family across from me uses the old self-propelled model that's heavy and although it's motorized, you still have to push pretty hard to get it to go anywhere. Our yards are alive with the high-pitched whine of motorized lawn mowers every summer. (more…)
What's there not to like about an organic lawn? It's relatively cheap. It's better for the environment and it takes less work than your traditional well-manicured turf.
Americans take their lawns seriously. Lawns used to be for the wealthy who hired a staff to maintain the grounds of their estates. Now they are for everyone. The great equalizer was the invention of the push mower in the 1870's by Elwood McGuire of Richmond, Indiana. (Before that, a common and labor-intensive way to trim lawns was to use scythes.) Today, U.S. homeowners spend more than $17 billion on outdoor home improvements, including lawn care.
While many of us spend a lot to get our grass mowed, fertilized and sprayed with chemicals to deter weeds and troublesome insects, it doesn't have to be so.
The good news is that going organic makes good sense when it comes to lawn care. It takes less effort and makes for a lawn that's safer for you, your family and your pets. (more…)
Lawn Chemicals Could Risk Your Family's Health
By Bill Kohlhaase, Planet Natural
The most important reason to keep an organic lawn? The health of your family. The second? The health of your planet. If you think those two reasons are one and the same, you're right. Traditional lawn care products that use synthetic fertilizers and chemical herbicides not only put your family and pets at risk but endanger the world at large. That's something we all want to avoid.
Stories about the dangerous consequences of lawn chemicals abound. Nearly 50 school children in Ohio developed symptoms of poisoning after herbicides were sprayed near their school. A professional skater makes a claim in Newsweek that her health was "destroyed" after exposure to pesticides sprayed on a neighbor's lawn (her dog died the same day). Seven dogs die after eating paraquat herbicide in Portland, Oregon park. A noted soil scientist warns the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture that a popular dandelion spray may cause infertility and spontaneous abortion. (more…)

Amanda Beard bares it all for PETA
Just as the Olympic machine was revving up, swimmer Amanda Beard and beach volleyball player Kerri Walsh released PSAs for two different non-profit organizations. Beard bared all for the animal rights group PETA, and Walsh struck that pose every single one of you have come to love for UNTIL, an AIDS awareness organization.
Beard launched her PETA anti-fur campaign inside the athletes' village in Beijing, causing quite a stir. Of China's fur industry, she said:
I have seen a lot of the videos, and [it] brings me to tears. What [some people] think is pretty is actually something that's very gruesome and gross.
Unfortunately for Beard, that was the only noise she was able to make in the 2008 Beijing Games. She came in 18th in the 200m breast stroke, failing to make it past the preliminary rounds.
Walsh, on the other hand, has had a spectacular Olympics so far. She and Misty May-Treanor beat Belgium 24-22, 21-10 on Friday to advance to the quarterfinals of the Olympic beach volleyball tournament.
Her PSA is for an organization that raises AIDS awareness funds through the sale of about a hundred kinds of bracelets.
Also lending her name to UNTIL is future Olympian Candice Wiggins.
I'll bet my house that Wiggins leads the U.S. women's basketball team in London in 2012. And if there's any justice in the world, Kerri Walsh will be there too.

Mayor DeBerry says 'stay in own lanes'
By SUE WATSON
Holly Springs Mayor Andre' DeBerry took Ward 4 Alderman Harvey Payne to task at the December 20 meeting for broaching the topic of a land swap recently before the Marshall County Board of Supervisors.
He denied there had ever been any discussion with the city board about such a proposal to swap county road and bridge property on West Woodward for city property at the city shop and technology center on Highway 311.
"There is a procedure for making recommendations," DeBerry said. "For you to go before the board of supervisors is presumptuous on your part. You do not represent the city."
The mayor said it is not fair for an alderman to go before the board of supervisors on behalf of the city.
"The last time I checked, land transactions are made by a mayor. I hope we will rein in this maverick (behavior)," DeBerry said.
He also chided Payne for saying the mayor's plan for streets would be reworked.
"This seems as if the city rejected a plan I came up with," the mayor said.
DeBerry said the plan was an assessment ordered by the board and done by professional planners, not his plan.
Payne answered, "When we looked at the proposal, I discussed it with you and all the board. The main piece of this was to find out if the county would be interested in a transaction, if they would consider it. The only way to know is to ask them."
DeBerry said the whole discussion involved a property on Van Dorn.
"But the swap idea was never a part of that discussion," he said.
He related a discussion brought forth by alderman Calvin James asking if there could be a new road connecting Highway 178 from near the bus shop.
"I think we have to be careful how that process works," the mayor said. "At some point we have to all stay in our own lanes."
"Point well taken," said Payne, and the discussion ended.
Janitorial bids
DeBerry resurrected the topic of the board's override of his veto which upheld the board's motion to hire GCA to do the cleaning in five city buildings.
"It seems we got two different prices," DeBerry said.
He pointed to a price offered that included expendable supplies and one that excluded them.
"What is expendables?" the mayor asked public works director Micheal Crittle.
He answered that a bid by GCA of $3,988 monthly was approved and another higher offer was if GCA furnished its own cleaning supplies.
DeBerry pointed to page two where the GCS had wording dealing with employee rate changes in case of unionization.
"It seems like we have a provision for change of rates," the mayor said.
Crittle said the bid was just standard contract language and if the city wants to change the language it could do it. He said anything the city did not want included in the contract could be marked out.
"OK, we could adjust that bid. If we are talking about bringing them on by January 3, we'll need this contract. We are looking at less than two weeks."
Attorney Ki Jones advised that the city can negotiate with the contract person. Crittle said his name was David Ross, the regional manager.
Crittle said the contract should be offered for a nine-month period to terminate September 30 when all other service contracts are to be renewed or rebid.
"It's the only way to get back in line to where we ought to be," said Crittle, referring to the end of the fiscal year.
DeBerry said the contract could be offered on a monthly basis and prorated over nine months.
Splash park
Crittle provided an update on the city's proposal to build a splash park on the hillside opposite Spring Hollow Park at Park Avenue.
The city could control traffic with speed breakers on the section of Park Avenue opposite the proposed park without cutting the street off to traffic from Memphis Street to Spring Street.
Alderman Russell Johnson asked if the city has plans for an environmental study where the old city shop was located near the proposed splash park. He asked if the grade is suitable for a wading pool.
"Is it going to be above grade?" he asked.
"I perceive it will be," Crittle said.
He said the outer areas of the pad, where the pool will be built, will slope away from the pool to keep runoff water from entering the pool. He said the planning and design would be outsourced to IMS Engineering Firm.
DeBerry explained that bids for playground equipment, the pool and other items need to be ready so the board can open bids before the end of January. This would give the city about five months to complete its list of requests before the grant timeline runs out in the summer.
Payne motioned and the board approved the measure to obtain bids.
Police chief voted on
The position of police chief was brought back to the table and aldermen motioned back and forth on who they wanted to offer the job to. Alderman Payne motioned to offer the position to a veteran police officer from the Memphis area and his motion failed to get a majority vote.
Then alderman Johnnie Ree Bagley-Johnson motioned to offer the job to the second candidate remaining in the top tier of three candidates.
"If he declines, we offer the position to the other candidate, but I feel we should offer it to the top candidate first," she said.
Colhoun seconded and the motion passed 3-2 with Payne and James voting nay.
DeBerry said Friday he had called James Dean to offer him the job and Dean had accepted the position. Dean is from Missouri.

Make a Difference for Mothers
Whatever else is unsure in this world, a mother's love is not.
"My daughter Rosemary was killed by a man in the street. I dreamed of finding justice for her, but the police refused to investigate. MADRE put pressure on the police and the courts, and it worked. This year, Rosemary's killer was convicted. Thank you."
— Betty Gonzalez, Guatemala
Everywhere I travel representing MADRE, mothers burn with determination to protect their children from the violence they themselves have endured. They're driven to unimaginable acts to save their girls from the cruelties of oppression. During war and disaster, they find the strength to see past the rubble of their ruined homes and the flapping tents of refugee camps to envision new possibilities for their children.
With Mother's Day approaching, I'm asking you to acknowledge all the fierce mothers of this world by renewing your MADRE membership with a gift today.
To sustain and expand all of our urgent programs, we must raise $47,000 immediately, to keep the doors of the shelters open for Iraqi women, to provide domestic violence counseling to Guatemalan women, to bring clean water to communities in Kenya, and so much more. Your tax-deductible gift will make a visible and important difference to mothers and their children everywhere we work.
For many thousands of these mothers every year, it's MADRE alone that appears on the scene with emergency aid focused on women's needs…it's MADRE alone that collaborates with local activists to bring informed solutions to ongoing problems … it's MADRE alone that gives mothers reason to believe that the future can be better for their children.
"Roadblocks and checkpoints make it impossible to get to hospitals in time when you're in labor. I spent my pregnancy in fear, until MADRE helped. You made sure a midwife came to my home to check up on me. Then she came again to deliver my daughter safely. It was a difficult birth. You saved our lives."
— Adeela, West Bank, Palestine
In Syria, people are facing the worst humanitarian crisis of our time. Your gift today will deliver life-saving medical supplies to families who fled their homes. And you'll support our training for Syrian women to document and prosecute rape as a weapon of war.
In Haiti, your gift today will help women organize to win laws against rape… in Guatemala, your gift today will provide women facing abuse with counseling and medical care… in Afghanistan and Iraq, your gift today will provide emergency transportation, shelter and other essentials for women escaping abuse… and so much more.
Our name, MADRE, conveys the nurturing strength that you and every one of us bring to this amazing organization of ours. It calls to mind the only love that surpasses all boundaries — a mother's love.
Please honor mothers who defend their children in the worst of circumstances with a gift today. You'll reach out a helping hand… and you'll be honoring all the mothers in your life who have nurtured and protected you. Thank you.
P.S. Here's an idea: Honor your mother, or another mother, with a tax-deductible Mother's Day gift to MADRE. She won't forget your beautiful gesture — a gift of hope for a better future. I'll make sure she receives a card telling her of your meaningful gift. Thank you so much again.

It was an honor to interview the founders of GoDiva Dance Studio. I love seeing black owned businesses, but especially a black owned business that focuses on health and wellness. Not only that, but they are all three relaxer free.
If you're looking for alternative to your daily workout, with a little something extra that might benefit your SO, exotic fitness might be for you!
Now, Kcurly would need a lot of encouragement to do these classes but I am sure it would be fun! Check them out if you're in the Bloomfield, NJ area!
How did ya'll get started participating in these types of classes?
Ty: I got started taking exotic dance classes for fitness in 2007 when I moved to Atlanta. I had never been into traditional gym workouts but I recognized I needed to do something to stay in shape.
Nikki: Ty started taking the classes in Atlanta and she would tell Sonya and myself about them.
Sonya: I work out 6 times a week and Ty would share with me her experience taking exotic dance. I looked for classes near me but the closest were in NYC.
What are both some mental and physical advantages to the types of classes you offer versus more traditional workouts (such as walking)?
Ty: The advantages of taking these types of classes are that they are more than just a work out. These classes help build confidence, increase flexibility & strength, improve poise, they are fun and most importantly the routines learned can be used to spice up your love life outside of the fitness studio.
Nikki: Mentally the classes help the ladies come out of their shell and combat their shyness by building confidence. Physically, our customers are getting fit but they are also building strength. There are people out there who appear muscular and toned but they are not strong. You can see how strong our customers are getting, especially in the pole classes because they can do things today that they couldn't do 3, 6 months ago.
Sonya: GoDiva Studio is a place where woman can develop or rekindle their sensuality and self esteem. Many women come to us as a release from everyday stresses. Physically, they reap the reward of 2 or more hours of cardio. Our classes are fun, which attracts our ladies to take all the classes offered in a day. In some cases, they end up taking 3 hours of exotic dance in 5 ¾ stilettos.
Could you share with us your most popular classes?
Ty: Our most popular classes are GoBooty Pop, GoPole Tease & GoStrip Tease
Nikki: I agree with Ty.
Sonya: Yeah, GoBooty Pop, GoPole Tease and GoStrip Tease.
What advice do you have for the ladies out there who would like to do these classes but might feel too shy or self conscious to get out there and try it?
Ty: My advice to them would be that over 90% of the women that visit our establishment for the first time felt the same exact way and those women are now the most comfortable and outgoing in the studio. Remember that we are all here to have fun and get fit. This is one of the few places you can go where you will not be judged so get out of your own way and come join the party.
Nikki: If you are close enough to come, go GoDiva Studio :). If not, try to find a studio that keeps the class size small or do a private session alone or with a few friends.
Sonya: Don't be afraid, our studio's ambiance is sexy and inviting. Add exotic dance to your bucket list and stop on by!
Tell us more about the "GoParty" service. That sounds very interesting. What types of parties are usually involved?
Ty: The types of parties we usually have are bachelorette, birthday, just because, get over him and many other types of parties.
Nikki: (Ty answered)
Sonya: Same as Ty and we offer party add-ons, such as studio rental. Studio rental in 30 mins or 60 mins sessions allows the ladies to enjoy refreshments or just hang out for girl talk after the instruction. It's a great addition to any party.
We are all aware of the disproportionate rate of obesity in the African American community. As women of color, what do you feel can be done to increase the percentage of African American who make physical activity a part of their lives?
Ty: One of the main reasons for the disproportionate rate of obesity is that many of us do not enjoy working out. We sometimes consider traditional workouts boring and monotonous. We have to continue giving women more attractive fitness options. One of the main reasons why GoDiva Studio was formed was to give women an affordable alternative approach to fitness that they can enjoy.
Nikki: I think the key is finding an activity that you enjoy and adding variety so you don't get bored. I tend to get bored very quickly so I am always switching things up and that helps tremendously. I also think we have to encourage one another to become more active. You are more likely to get out and do some sort of physical activity if you are doing it with a friend.
Sonya: From my own experience, it was simply knowledge. In my late 20s I started working out regularly. Before that I didn't know which types of work outs would produce the best results in my body. Through the years I found the right regiments for me and that kept me entertained. Then just this year I wanted to shed 15 extra pounds and I didn't know how. My diet was the problem. Through a special eating program I learned how to track my caloric intake and how to eat properly. Now, I am in the best shape I've been in my life. I feel if more women were equipped with options of combining the correct cardio and diet they would use it. It's about getting you out the way and trying a new way of life. GoDiva Studio offers knowledge through our classes we are teaching women that cardio can be fun and sexy!
Do ya'll find having natural hair as an advantage to leading an active lifestyle?
Ty: Though I am natural I wear my hair blown out and it has been a bit of a disadvantage to leading an active lifestyle. However, it has led me to be a bit more creative with the way I wear my hair when I am working out. Now when I workout I wear my hair up in a ponytail and I wear a sweatband so that I don't completely sweat my roots out.
Nikki: Yes for me having natural hair is definitely an advantage when you're active, especially when you are wearing wash & go's. Now that I wear my hair natural I tend to work out a lot more in the morning because I can just wash my hair afterwards. Working out in the morning helps me quite a bit. I get up and get it over with as opposed to waiting all day and then finding excuses not to.
Sonya: Yes, I am natural but I choose to wear a full sewed in weave. My weave definitely makes it easier for me to stay active.
What is your favorite natural hair style?
Ty: My favorite natural hairstyle is the braid out. It is my favorite because it is sexy and very flexible.
Nikki: I love twistouts and wash and go's during the warmer months. When my hair grows out a little more I will try some other styles.
Sonya: I currently wear my natural hair braided in a sewed in weave. This fall I plan to wear my hair out. Nikki has inspired me to rock the wash and go. I can't wait to give it a try.

Stairway to the sea, Ventura County | California (by Jon Bakke)
Archipelago cinema in Koh Yao Noi | Thailand (by Büro Ole Schereen)
Earlier this month, a clutch of avid filmgoers experienced their own cinematic moment: Amidst the rocky shoreline of Yao Noi, Thailand, the group was delivered by boat to a auditorium floating in the middle of a quiet lagoon. The event was organized by Film on the Rocks Yao Noi, a new film festival, which commissioned the architect Ole Scheeren to build what he came to call the Archipelago Cinema, a large raft built out of recycled materials.

So I should start doing quality dye jobs more often. 'Cause it looks really cool when it's in the sun, even if it looks a bit more blue in the picture.
It just takes so looooong.
I found thse sunglasses in my bathroom when I got home from school.
I thought my mom found them at some weird shop when she was in North Carolina, but they look worn in and they're a little battered (shhh, not broken yet) so I'm wondering if they're vintage or what. So no idea whose sunglasses these are, but I'm taking them.
But I feel like a cross between Lady Gaga and Tron. Aw yeah.
Haven't asked my mom yet, but I think I found some new sunglasses for the summer.
ehhhh my hair's been in a bun since i got out of school so it looks weird and i'm about to go to bed but WHATEVER
Click for full size.
New makeup test! Something super over-the-top this time (not that I haven't done any that aren't….), but I wanted something with a bit more colour. Even though it ended up still being dark.
Not that I'll ever wear this somewhere except maybe a club (and even then, I'd need an outfit that stood out just as much). But today, I remembered I got some wicked E.L.F. eyeshadows in jewel tones, so I played around with those and a super red matte lipstick I picked up for like two bucks at a bargain store.
I rather like some of these, since my skin's finally clearing up and ect. …Maybe I'll surprise you all with another icon change some time. Luckily you guys can't see my gimpy ear here. <3
There was actually a picture that came out really sexy-like, to the point where it didn't fit with these, but I'm not sure if I want to post it on here. I'm not keen on getting some labels thrown at me, especially when I'm nowhere near those labels. xD
But if people really want to see it, I'll probably cave and put it up.
NOTE: If you want to know any of products used, message me or reblog, I'll be happy to let you know. <3

Update: 11/25/2011
Very late in adding this to the scouting report, but Crick is out for the season. His injury may not keep him out of the predraft process so it's possible that he can get healthy and remain a first round pick.
Jared Crick is another one of the group of the reemergence of the Nebraska Cornhuskers as a school that puts prospects into the N.F.L. He's also likely to be one of the four first round Nebraska Cornhuskers defensive prospects to be selected into the first round of the N.F.L. draft in the last three years. (Suh, Prince Amukamara…and then this year Crick and Alfonzo Dennard have a great shot of making it into the first round.
For all of our other scouting reports go to our scouting report page
6'4 279 pounds, 32″ arm length, 10 1/8 inch hands
4.99 forty yard dash, 31 inch vertical jump, 104 inch broad jump, 7.47 3 cone drill, 4.40 20 yard shuttle
73 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, 14 QB hurries
70 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, 7 QB hurries
2011: (
Crick was knocked a lot for his great 2009 season because people questioned whether or not he could produce without Suh next to him on the line. He came back in 2010 and had an equally productive year. There is no questioning Crick's production. It's top rate.
Austin Bramley's initial thoughts on Crick
Jared Crick, a member of the 2011 Lott IMPACT Trophy watch list and one of the nation's top defensive lineman should be a top draft pick in 2012. Crick has been excellent the last two seasons and he hasn't gone unnoticed. Crick is a two-time all conference performer. At 6'6″ 285 pounds, Crick has the size, speed and skill set to not only have a productive senior season for Nebraska but to have a great NFL Career.
PROS: Great interior pass rusher, versatile (can play in 4-3 or 3-4), great upper body strength, quick off the ball, blue-collar work ethic, solid run defender, proved he could produce with and without Ndamukong Suh, team leader.
CONS: Injury issue in 2011, not as thick as you'd like (about 285-290), sometimes plays too high, benefits from playing on a dominant defense.
I'll give you a little bit of an evolution here.
2009 vs Baylor
2010 season
2011 vs Washington

WHO warns of growing drug resistance in sexually transmitted gonorrhea that infect millions

8 Responses to WHO warns of growing drug resistance in sexually transmitted gonorrhea that infect millions
Don't buy a freaking soda larger than 16 oz. or you will break the law [ in NYC ] because you would be killing yourself but go ahead and be promiscuous, adulterous, and down right perverted at any age and be haled as a hero as you endanger the lives of all you touch with disease.
I live in north west england and heard on the radio today that cases of gonorrhea have tripled in the past couple of months
This is the reason God said not to have sex before marriage…anyway, since people wanted to have their way, this happened. Should have listened to Him.
or they can "man up" and admit they made a grievous sin and deal with the consequences but there is still time to be saved! God will heal those who are His!! \o/
What amazes me is that at work we see the same groups of people treated (generally successfully) over and over and over for the same STDs.
Since the majority are on the government dole, it's at no cost to them and lifestyle change would never occurr to them.
Eventually treatment failures will be the norm, not the exception. That is a guarantee.
You think the ancient Hebrews were so pure and perfect? They had many wives, concubines, and brothels. Wonder if King Solomon had STD with all those women.
Actually his Father King David is thought to have had it by the way he wrote of his own symptoms in one of his psalms. God did heal him of it but it was thought to have infected him when he married the widow of a man who had dealt with him meanly. Sorry I don't have more detail on that from the Bible at this moment but it is in there, however , yes, they took on many women of conquered foes in the early days.
Yet governing rulers and representatives of a Father pyramid even a Pharaoh King pyramid, were in the beginning an androgynous female … so were representatives of the lord day-star hosts …
This is why it was said "call no man Father" … and there is just so much more minds will need to rethink, relearn and remember …
Yet after the known fall of man … representatives of a king pyramid, was then male …
Representatives of a Father sun/core facility were male .. usually the male aspect of an androgynous female Pharaoh … all Junior sun/core facilities were also referred to as a god host … and so were their male representatives … this is where tiles of sons of god came from …
And in the beginning before beginnings, before the known fall of man … there were no host of the electron kind … if an energy source generated a negative charge it did so without the electron particle … and all things were good …
For this reason I consider that this growing drug resistance sexually transmitted gonorrhea infecting millions is more due to the electron of negative energy … which are bread by corrupt and negative deeds …
Electrons are referred to as the sin ions … electrons are even the source of evil thoughts leading to evil and diabolical deeds … they are the source of degenerating states of body mind and energy … low frequencies are easily bombarded by electrons ….
For in the beginning of all good things … all cosmic hosts were designed, created, empowered and programmed by the CREATOR … and these Divine hosts and representatives were in neuron signature linked with the consciousness of the CREATOR …

One Direction named MTV's 2012 Artist of the YearAssociated Press
NEW YORK — They're platinum. They're fascinating. And now One Direction is MTV's 2012 Artist of the Year.
MTV says the fivesome is "the clear choice for the top spot" after a year that included two No. 1 albums, hits such as "What Makes You Beautiful" and a sold-out world tour.
One Direction's Louis Tomlinson calls Thursday's honor "the icing on the cake."
MTV's team of music staffers chose Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" as song as the year.
One Direction placed third on the U.K. version of "The X Factor" in 2010 and made their U.S. debut in March with the No. 1 album "Up All Night." Their sophomore album, "Take Me Home," was the year's third-highest debut.
The group also made Barbara Walters' most fascinating people of 2012 list.

Houston Texans fans are sick of seeing Matt Schaub throw pick-sixes game after game after game after game. It just happens all the time and there are expectations in Houston. There are expectations from the fans, but some fans have crossed the line in the last couple of days.
According to SportaRadio 610, a fan went over to Schaub's house and told him off. Another fan allegedly took pictures of Schaub's fam and posted them on facebook. Nobody was hurt in the situation, but that is craziness to a whole new level.
Schaub is still a person when he is not on the football field and he doesn't need jerks coming by to still be yelling at him when he tries to step away from the field. He hears enough of it when he steps on the field from his own fans. Let the man get away from it for a little bit.
When the Texans face the St. Louis Rams on Sunday in Houston, buy some tickets and get your booing done there. Stop acting all stalker like.

Red, itchy eyes are the harbinger of fall allergies. This twitter user writes, "Thanks allergies. I can always count on you." (Twitpic:CaryolaaWonderr)

Knoxville has the dubious distinction of being the Top Allergy City of both spring and fall. I guarantee there will be no congratulatory parade for this honor.
So, why Knoxville? Allergists says East Tennessee has a unique topography which, in essence, holds pollen in the city. Situated in the Smoky Mountains, Knoxville has a lot of deep valleys and inversions that hold the air pollution and pollen on top of the river valleys.
Social Weather: What People Are Saying in Knoxville
For the entire nation, allergists are pointing towards longer, hotter summers as a the reason for worsening allergy seasons.
"A summer temperature just a couple of degrees warmer than usual is enough to extend the growing season," says Dr. Bassett. "It could extend it as long as 27 days or more this year. That means you're in contact with ragweed and pollen for a longer period of time."
-Weed Pollen Peak: Early September
-Most Common Fall Allergen: Ragweed
-See More Common Tennessee Allergens
Seasonal allergies cost the U.S. $7 billion a year in terms of treatments as well as lost productivity at school and work. Check out more cities on the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America's 2011 Fall Allergy Capitals.

Great beachside location
What we say:
A branch of the Gili Trawangan restaurant and bar, the Gili Air version offers a similar standard of good food and views.
It's popular and, like the Trawangan establishment, the food is can be very good — and Scallywags does make for a great place for an afternoon drink to escape the heat. It's also a prime people-watching spot and the beachside setting is pleasant with great views across to Lombok.
On the not-so-great side of things, the service is slipshod and on each of our three visits the advertised WiFi was a long-running source of frustration to get to work. They also have accommodation available.

Print from Classic and OS X with an HP Laserjet 1012
<I know this is a bit late to respond to this particular soul...>
HOWTO - Configuring Mac OS X to Use a Windows XP Local Printer
- Print to a Shared Printer hooked to a Windows XP PC
- Access to printer Password protected
#1 Configure PC to allow Shared Printing
I have Mac OS X 10.4.8 printing to a Windows XP/Home system.
HP Laserjet 1012 is connected to the PC via USB.
1.1: Share the printer
⁃ Click on "Start" -> "Settings" -> "Printers and Faxes"
⁃ Highlight the printer, right-click and select "Sharing"
⁃ Enable sharing and give the printer a name...
1.2: Turn on "Print Services for UNIX"
⁃ Go to the "Control Panel"
⁃ Click on "Add or Remove Programs"
⁃ Click on (the left) "Add/Remove Windows Components"
⁃ Scroll down and check on "Other Network File and Print Services"
⁃ Click "Details" button and then check on "Print Services for Unix".
1.3: Make sure your firewall doesn't block printer sharing!
This depends on your firewall / security application, but please give it a once-over and make sure you're not blocking print sharing or else you're going to be ripping your hair out in about 10 minutes.
#2 Configure Mac OS X
2.1: Driver install
[Futile Step] Download and install the Mac OS X version of the printer drivers from the HP Driver CD that came with printer
Sorry, this doesn't work for the HP Laserjet 1012 printer
Have to download better drivers, gutenprint-5.0 released on 07/30/2006
Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1537 and install gutenprint5.0.0-.U.dmg
2.2: Setup the printer
⁃ Go to "System Preferences" -> "Print & Fax"
⁃ Add a Printer (the "+" button)
⁃ Hold down ALT(option) key and click "More Printers"
⁃ Select "Advanced" and "Windows printer via SAMBA"
⁃ The Device URI should be something like: smb://user:pass@Workgroup/Machine/Printer
⁃ Then, choose the printer model and click "Add".
Syntax: smb://"WindowsXPUsername":Password@WorkgroupName/SharedPrinterName
smb://"Brandon Erlichmann":passwordABC@MSHOME/EICHLERPC/HP1010printer
If you don't use this "Advanced" technique, you will most likely get NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED errors (see previous note)
2.3: Run "Software Update" to latest OS X
Don't skip this if you're running anything less than 10.4.5: I had trouble with 10.4.4 throwing off "NT_STATUS_NO_MEMORY" errors and it turns out that there were some SMB bugs in 10.4.4 that were fixed with 10.4.5, so please update now if you need to.

Unrelenting: Marisela Escobedo Ortiz, centre, breaks down after the man, Sergio Barraza, suspected of killing her daughter Rubi Marisol in 2008 is set free. She was gunned down demanding justice for her daughter.
A mother who waged a two-year battle to bring her daughter's killer to justice was shot to death, possibly by the same man suspected of murdering her teenager.
A security video recording shows masked men pulling up in a car in front of the governor's office in the northern city of Chihuahua.
One appeared to exchange words with anti-crime crusader Marisela Escobedo Ortiz, who was holding a vigil outside.
She tried to flee by running across the street, but the gunman chased her down and shot her in the head late Thursday, said Jorge Gonzalez, special state prosecutor for crime prevention.
Ms Escobedo was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where she died within minutes.
On Friday, a group of demonstrators gathered outside the Interior Department in Mexico City to protest the killing, briefly scuffling with police while chanting 'Not one more death'.
And far to the north in Ciudad Juarez, where Ms Escobedo's 17-year-old daughter's burned and dismembered remains were found in a rubbish bin in June 2009, activists protested outside the state prosecutors office with signs demanding 'Justice for Marisela'.
Thursday's killing 'shows that in Mexico it is the victim who suffers, without protection,' veteran anti-crime activist Alejandro Marti said.
Federal intelligence sources indicated that Sergio Barraza, the main suspect in the death of Marisela Escobedo, belongs to the criminal group known as "Los Zetas", which were instrumental in the escape of Barraza at least twice in Zacatecas.
Ms Escobedo's daughter, Rubi Frayre Escobedo, disappeared in Ciudad Juarez, across from El Paso, Texas, in 2008.
After the body was discovered last year, the mother launched a campaign pressing for a conviction in the case. Ms Escobedo staged numerous marches, once wearing no clothes, wrapped only in a banner with her daughter's photograph.
'This struggle is not only for my daughter,' Ms Escobedo said through a megaphone at that march, her voice breaking. 'Let's not allow one more young woman to be killed in this city.'
Three days ago, she planted herself in front of the offices of Governor Cesar Duarte and vowed not to move until investigators showed progress in the case.
In an interview with newspapers on Sunday, Ms Escobedo said she had received many death threats from Barraza's family in which they warned that "Los Zetas" do not forgive nor forget, and that failure to abide by their rules would cost her life.
Mr Duarte said state security officials had been assigned to guard Ms Escobedo, although from a distance. He said their failure to protect her Thursday would be investigated.
Mr Duarte had also called on the state's top court to suspend the three judges.
On Friday, court president Javier Ramirez Benitez said they would be suspended pending an investigation.
Ramirez Benitez said an oversight commission found earlier this year that the case was improperly handled.
Prosecutors said Barraza, Frayre's live-in boyfriend, admitted murdering her and led police to the body. But at trial he proclaimed his innocence and claimed he had been tortured into confessing.
Grief: Relatives embrace near Escobedo's coffin before her funeral service in Ciudad Juarez
Marisela Escobedo was laid to rest on Saturday, December 18. Although the funeral was scheduled for Sunday morning, it was allegedly moved forward out of fear of her relatives becoming victims of another attack.
Shortly before Escobedo's burial a commando of at least six men busted into a nearby lumber business, kidnapped a man later identified as Manuel Monge Amparán and set the business on fire.
According to family members, the lumber yard is owned by José Monge, brother of the kidnapping victim and Escobedo's live in boyfriend.
Elements of the municipal police force stated the delinquents, before attacking the lumber yard and kidnapping Monge, had forced their way into various neighboring businesses and ordered employees to call the fire department.
"The fire at the lumber yard and the kidnapping of Manuel Monge was a retaliation by organized crime because Jose Monge refused to pay "dues," said a spokesman for the Prosecutor of Chihuahua, Carlos González.
The official denied that the attack had any connection with the killing of the activist.
Following the incident, the authorities stated the owner of the establishment had been threatened in the past, Gonzalez said.
Manuel Monge Amparán was found dead.
The Attorney General's office announced the victim, 36, was found dumped in a blanket between the streets of Mariano Vega and Ramon Alcazar.
The agency reported that the offical cause of death was asphyxiation.
Yesterday, prosecutors announced that a man's body had been found at 11:00 p.m., but the identity was not confirmed until Sunday.
His hands and feet were bound with gray duct tape and his head had been covered with a plastic bag.
Although people close to Marisela Escobedo confirmed the relationship between her and José Monge Amparán, the authorities indicated that they were no longer partners.
"José Monge Amparán, as far as we can tell from our investigations, had a relationship with Marisela Escobedo, but it was not a current relationship, it was in the past. It (the fire, kidnapping, a murder) has absolutely nothing to do, has no relation to (the murder of ) Mrs. Escobedo," said Carlos Gonzalez.

The Ministers for Co-operation and selected parliamentarians lead Nordic co-operation.
The common Nordic initiatives in recent times have been called "Nordic zigzag" by some people. Going back 1000 years the fluctuations between periods of war and periods of solidarity were even greater. However, in the 20th and 21st centuries we observe a continual greater co-operation occurring between the countries.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - For women today, turning 40 often brings birthday cake and candles. But it also brings a question: Should I get a mammogram?
Until two years ago, medical groups largely agreed women should get annual mammograms beginning at age 40. In 2009, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a group of doctors who evaluate screening tests, broke ranks by encouraging women to talk to their doctors and make up their own minds.
Yet the debate continues. Though few dispute the facts about mammograms, they often disagree on how women should act on results, says Otis Brawley, chief medical officer at the American Cancer Society.
Half of children's car booster seats can't ensure a proper fit with all safety belts, an insurance industry-funded safety group says in a report out today.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety said six were so bad that it recommended parents avoid them.
Booster seats, which are recommended for children who have outgrown forward-facing child seats, are designed to raise kids up so adult-size safety belts fit properly.
"Not all boosters are doing that well," says Anne McCartt, the institute's research chief.
Children ages 4-8 in booster seats are 45% less likely to be injured in a crash than those using only seat belts.
Booster seats were rated based on how well they fit the roughly 20 million 4- to 8-year-olds with the lap and shoulder belts in a wide range of vehicles.
IIHS says its ratings are important because it's impossible to tell which booster seats are better just by comparing prices or features.

Re: Why do tennis fans accept lesbian tennis stars yet no one in ATP out of closet?
I think a player can benefit from revealing that he's gay. Look at Frank Ocean - before he revealed he's gay he was basically unknown, but after, he became a huge star, his album was released early due to high demand from fans - it went #1 on iTunes, he got invited to lots of shows and music awards. It's expected that he'll be nominated for several Grammys and other musicians praised him for coming out. I think the first one to come out could potentially really benefit from it. Society is more acceptable of gays & lesbians than ever.

Roasted Chicken Rice
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! I've been working on the roasted version of Hainanese Chicken Rice for a couple of years now (in which I mean I tried it twice, and then got bored of failing/not-quite-succeeding and shelved it for a later date). But since it's Singapore's 49th birthday today, I figured I could share the current iteration of my recipe. Keep reading →

German fertilizer supplier K+S AG (SDF.XE) Thursday said its supply capacity hasn't been affected by a recent gas eruption that killed three miners at a German potash mine.
"Existing orders are being processed by the K+S sister plants," the company said.
A controlled explosion at the mine last week triggered the release of a large amount of carbon dioxide into a mine shaft and above ground, leading to another explosion that trapped seven miners underground.
Two mines and a work area above ground were evacuated as part of the rescue operation and the mine has halted all production until an investigation is completed.
"The exceptionally strong gas eruption at the Unterbreizbach mine on October 1 no longer permits the resumption of crude salt extraction before the beginning of November," K+S said.
The company will decide how to proceed further once a comprehensive assessment of the situation in the mine has been done.
Employees are currently using up vacation entitlements and existing time credits as it isn't possible to find work for most of them during the standstill, K+S said.
Options to work shorter hours will be announced soon, and the company is holding talks with the works council to come to an agreement.
