JERUSALEM — Israel is moving forward with plans for two major settlement projects in east Jerusalem, a spokeswoman said Tuesday, even as a senior Palestinian official warned that his government could pursue war crimes charges if Israel doesn't halt such construction.
International anger over Israeli settlement construction has snowballed in recent days, following last week's U.N. recognition of a state of Palestine — in lands Israel occupied in 1967 — as a non-member observer in the General Assembly.
Israel retaliated for U.N. recognition of Palestine in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem by announcing plans to build 3,000 homes for Jews in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, as well as preparations for construction of an especially sensitive project near Jerusalem, known as E-1.
The Israeli reprisal has prompted the country's strongest Western allies to take an unusually strong line with the Jewish state.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague warned Tuesday that the latest Israeli building plans would make the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel, with Jerusalem as a shared capital, "almost inconceivable."
Australia and Brazil summoned the local Israeli ambassadors Tuesday in protest, Israel's Foreign Ministry said, a day after five European countries, including Britain, took the same step.
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev defended the recent Israeli decisions, saying that "from our perspective, Israel is responding in a very measured way to a series of Palestinian provocations."
U.N. recognition could enable the Palestinians to gain access to the International Criminal Court and seek war crimes charges against Israel for its construction of settlements on occupied lands.
Last week, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that he's not going to turn to the ICC "unless we were attacked" and that he informed many countries, including the United States, of this position. Abbas spoke before Israel announced its latest settlement plans.
A senior Abbas aide, Nabil Shaath, said late Monday that "by continuing these war crimes of settlement activities on our lands and stealing our money, Israel is pushing and forcing us to go to the ICC."
Israel also said it is withholding some $100 million in tax rebates and other fees it collects on behalf of the Palestinians. The monthly transfer of the funds is vital for keeping afloat Abbas' Palestinian Authority, the self-rule government in the West Bank.
Shaath's comments marked the most pronounced Palestinian threat yet of turning to the ICC, though officials suggested that appealing to the international court is a step of last resort.
After the General Assembly vote on Palestine, Israel's government decided to authorize construction of 3,000 additional homes in settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
Regev, the Israeli spokesman, said Tuesday that this meant final permission was being granted for projects that had been in various stages of planning. He said this includes new homes in settlements in east Jerusalem, such as Gilo and Pisgat Zeev, as well as in the West Bank settlement of Ariel and the Gush Etzion bloc south of Jerusalem.
Israel's government also said it would move forward with the so-called E-1 project, which would include at least 3,500 homes east of Jerusalem. E-1, which would be built next to another large West Bank settlement, Maaleh Adumim, would effectively cut off east Jerusalem, the Palestinians' intended capital, from the West Bank.

Natural Remedies/Wholistic Medicine
I always try the natural solution first if it's something easily curable.
but if my son has an infection, I'm not going to wait to give him antibiotics.
I guess it depends on the severity of the problem.
If I had cancer, I'd never try natural FIRST, esp. if the cancer had a high cure rate with chemo/radiation.
But if it's something easy, sure, I'll do the natural thing and if it works, great.
Mind your own vagina, thanks. -ThisCharmingMaman
Yes, I'm very much into holistic medicine. I prefer to take the natural approach before trying the standard pharma approach but I use both. I struggled with infertility issues for years and after unsuccessful surgeries and IVF I was sick of the way my body felt and decided to go natural. I changed my diet radically, got acupuncture, chinese herbs and yoga. Within 3 months my depression was gone and I was pregnant! That experience convinced me that we can heal our own bodies. I especially believe in eating healthy, changing your diet can solve so many problems!
I think the body has an amazing ability to heal itself through proper nutrition and wellbeing. Some things are best left to conventional medicine, while others can be cured through more natural methods.
First time mother, beloved friend.

It's because crazy pants lied.
If there is a natural remedie for UTI's that I'm unaware of that works, I'd use it in a heartbeat. I get a lot of those damn things and having to pay every single time to see the dr, pee in a cup so that he can tell me, "Why yes, you do have a UTI", when I already knew that is a pain in the butt!
True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.
I tried to cure my anxiety/depression naturally, but it did not work. I ate right, I exercised-yoga, cardio, weight lifting, I meditated (I even took seminars on how to do it properly!), I tried herbal remedies. Nothing. I felt like a horrible failure and I waited what seems like forever to try anti-depressants. They had such a negative stigma and I didn't want to go there.
finally, I hit such a low place (wouldn't leave the house, having suicidal thoughts) that my husband told me I needed to try the anti-depressants.
Once on them, I was back to my normal self. It was like magic.
After a year, I went off them to see if I could manage it by myself, but within a month I was right back where I was before.
To me, my anxiety/depression cannot be treated holistically. so, I'm not going to feel bad about taking a pill.
but I at least TRIED the natural way first.
Mind your own vagina, thanks. -ThisCharmingMaman

Mobile app development moves fast. The cloud offers instant and scalable infrastructure to test and deploy. To build and deliver at a pace that meets real world expectations, you need to implement a continuous build, test and deploy approach.
At this meetup, Jenkins/Hudson creator, Kohsuke Kawaguchi will explain how to leverage Jenkins to set up a continuous delivery pipeline and how the cloud augments this process. SOASTA's SVP Engineering, Tal Broda, will show how to implement a 100% hands-off test automation framework with full app coverage – at no cost. You'll see how to build and deploy your mobile apps in the cloud and let a Platform as a Service (PaaS) take care of scale, and how to ensure the highest app quality by testing thoroughly from back end services to front end performance.What could be better than free beer & pizza, mobile app dev, and continuous cloud delivery shared with some hard-core, high-speed development vets? See you there!
Kohsuke Kawaguchi is the creator of Jenkins (née Hudson). He wrote the majority of Jenkins core single-handedly. He has over 10 years of extensive experience in software development, ranging from Java to C++, .NET to x64 assembly, as well as system expertise on different platforms including Windows, Linux and Solaris. This broad range of expertise was a key enabler in various advanced features of Jenkins. Aside from Jenkins, Kohsuke was involved in JAXB, Metro web services stack, GlassFish v3, and RELAX NG at Sun Microsystems. He's also known for a large number of open-source projects, such as args4j, YouDebug, com4j, Animal Sniffer, Sorcerer, wagon-svn, MSV, Parallel JUnit extension, to name a few. Today Kohsuke is an Elite Architect and Developer at CloudBees, where he spends his days bringing Jenkins to the cloud and making the Jenkins core even better.
Tal Broda brings 15 years experience to SOASTA as SVP of Engineering. Under Tal's leadership, the SOASTA CloudTest Engineering team releases products using continuous integration to address customer needs extremely fast. Prior to SOASTA, Tal was Oracle's Development Director for the Oracle Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) product engineering team. Tal has 8 patents granted and 8 patents pending in the area of real-time business intelligence cloud computing, performance testing, mobile testing and analytics. Tal holds a BA in computer science from the Academic College of Tel-Aviv-Yaffo in Tel-Aviv, Israel, an MBA from the University of California at Berkeley and an MBA from Columbia Business School in New York City, with honors.
Will there be a recording of the event? I really, really, really want to be there, but there's just no way that I can make it. Had I known a couple of weeks further in advance, I could have changed my plans, but now that is impossible. ;-( ;-( ;-(

Kurdistan: Woman stoned to death for eloping
Kurdistan Aziz was taken back to her family; they chose to kill her by the method of stoning her to death on the Hawre Mountain. A local woman's organization alerted the authorities in the Governate of Sulemaniya, controlled by the PUK. The PUK refused to intervene in a 'tribal issue' and asked the women's organization to risk their own safety to provide a photograph of her. On 17-18th of May, at 16 years old, Kurdistan Aziz, the girl who fell in love, was killed by her relatives, her body crushed with rocks.
The death of Kurdistan Aziz is part of the brutal and common idea that death is necessary to reclaim the "honour" of the community from the "shame" supposedly brought upon them by women or girls who dare to try to make their own lives and their own decisions: but there is no shame in Kurdistan Aziz's love and courage. The shame is in the hearts and minds of the politicians, the men who are paid to protect women who in reality sell them by accepting bribes, knowing full well the outcome. The shame is in the hearts of men who could kill a child by stoning her, because she wanted to love and be loved according to her choice, and because her father wanted to protect his reputation as a man who treats women as a proprietal right, because in Kurdistan, this is where rightness lies.
The shame is upon murderers for murdering women in the name of their warped and degraded perception of 'honour'."

Printing - Digital
Our digital presses are fast and versatile.
Digital printing offers many advantages. Personalization. High speed. Variable Data Printing. Low cost. Customization. Fast turnaround. Dynamic composition. Low quantity runs. And more!
Great for low quantities
There are certain items most all businesses need but only in low quantities. A digital press enables you to get these items in small quantities - with the professional look your require and at per piece price rivaling larger runs. Need just 50 folders? 200 postcards? 25 posters? These are ideal for printing on a digital press.
Unlike traditional printing which has the built-in cost of press plates, digital printing does not use press plates. You may have discovered with traditional printing for example that 100 brochures cost only a few dollars less than 1,000 brochures. When you only need a small quantity, this can be frustrating, especially when you look at the per piece price. However, with our digital printing you will find that printing in low quantities is very inexpensive.
Great for customization
But, don't just think about digital presses for small runs only. In fact, we've run 10,000 catalogs on the digital press. Why? Because almost every page needed to be customized? Digital presses can easily take your client list and ... Digital printing has been around for a long time. Businesses have used some form of digital printing for decades to print such things as the bills and statements that consumers receive in the mail. The only problem with this old-fashioned digital printing was that is was printed in black only, and it didn't look very good. About twenty years ago, digital printing technology evolved to the point where it was possible to print in multiple colors. Again, there were significant limitations in quality and cost. A few years later, digital printing technology made a quantum leap in quality, speed, and cost.
Amazing quality, outstanding results
One of the most amazing things about today's digital printing is that the quality is indistinguishable - except for those of us who know what to look for - from offset. And the cost is now competitive with offset printing, and better in many applications. But the real power in digital printing is the ability for every sheet of paper coming out of a digital press to be a unique. Variable data printing, which offers personalization yields greater response rates and helps consumers build a stronger connection with a particular product, brand or service.
Many of our clients are using our digital presses because they have discovered how to to get the most from custom materials and have found that they are more successful in getting the returns they want. While other customers are using digital printing with standard materials at low volumes which wouldn't be so affordable on an offset press. At Conquest Graphics, we are constantly running both our digital and offset presses. Each serves as a valuable resource in creating professional and effective marketing communications. In some instances we even use both presses for a single job.
We can help!
If you are interested in learning more about digital printing and how it can help you do a better job of attracting new customers and/or retaining existing customers, we invite you to talk with any of our Sales professionals by calling us at 1-800-707-9903, or sending us an email by

The Final Countdown
by, 30th December 2012 at 07:06 PM (435 Views)
Deep beneath the ground the two duelists stared at each other as they shuffled their decks. One, a duelist of darkness, the other one of light. The Infernal monsters and the Constellars, everything they had fought for would come down to this. They looked around, taking in their surroundings, a dark and gloomy tomb, rumored to have been where the King of Games had had his most important duel. They both activated their duel disks and smiled. It was time for the finals!
Finals: @Chaosj2; VS @Mizuhashi;
Meanwhile, back on the surface the other duelists were heading down, but two of them stopped and looked at each other. They had both come so far, and they knew they were of equal strength….or were they? They could not be satisfied without knowing, and thus the two prepared for their own duel.
Battle for third place! @Doctor jokool; VS @Haruto Tenjo;
That's right, finally reaching and end! After this duel, we will know who will get the super secret prize which I may or may not have remembered to make. Let's do this thing!

This often gets me confused too, and it's really nutty that something so simple somehow got so fuzzy. In my mind, it should be "full strength", then 1+1, 1+2, etc for the dilutions. That makes more sense to me.
Exactly!!! Just recently I looked at developing time and solution, I questioned it. Thanks for the clarification from everyone.


text: Here's an enhancement request: It would be a very nice feature if all the date displays followed whatever the setting is on the "Formats/Layouts" page in the "Date/Time formats" section. The default is "d/m/Y", which I like. But the displays still show events using #j #M #y. It would require less customization if we can just set it in one place and have it carry over to all the other places.

Samsung Upstage Gets Flaming Red Paint Job

Despite getting quite a decent reception at CTIA07, garnering even a Frankenreview by us, the Sprint Samsung Upstage apparently isn't selling all that well. That's our guess as to why they've lowered the price down to $100 from $150 not even a month after its release. »

Here's a little stat for those of you interested in such things. The European Tour event last week and this week award more World Golf Rankings points than their two PGA Tour counterparts.
Yes, the European Tour's French Open had a stronger field than the Greenbrier Classic, according to the computer that puts the ranking points together. And the Scottish Open, a tune-up for many players for the British Open, has a stronger field than the John Deere Classic. If you needed proof that golf is truly a global game these days, you now have it.
Let's not feel too sorry for the folks at the John Deere Classic, though. While lots of the game's top players are in Scotland, the John Deere has attracted Steve Stricker, Zach Johnson, world No. 10 Louis Oosthuizen and Keegan Bradley to Silvas, Ill.
For the most part, PGA Tour events are still the strongest in the world when it comes to depth of fields. But half a dozen times a year or so, you are more likely to find the top players in the world (at least the top players in the world playing that week) playing in European Tour events. If Tiger Woods, the game's top-ranked golfer, is playing, wherever he plays will be the strongest event in the game that week. That includes playing in places like Dubai, a European Tour event where many of the game's other top golfers show up for a little golf and appearance money.
Consider that both major championship winners this year, while they live in the United States for much of the year, are international players. Adam Scott is from Australia, Justin Rose is from England. And consider that both of those players are among the top-10 players in the world, where six international players reside compared to just four Americans - Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker.
In the women's game, well, things are a step more toward the international players. There where there is one American, one Norwegian, one Chinese player, one Australian, one player from Taiwan and five players from South Korea.
Now consider that as the PGA Tour reshapes its schedule starting this year, part of that shuffling will include more and more PGA Tour events played outside of the United States. Official tour events played in October and November will be in Malaysia, China and Mexico, with a stop for the World Cup in Australia. Oh, and California, Nevada and Georgia, too.
So the days of only paying attention to PGA Tour events need to be over for the true golf fan. The true fan needs to know that Graeme McDowell won in Frances this week as much as he needs to know that a Swede, Jonas Blixt, won the Greenbrier event in West Virginia Sunday.
It's just not enough to pay attention to American golf any more, at least not if you want to know about the game's best players. Because the game's best players are scattered around the world, from the United States to Europe to Asia to Australia.

A general word on CRT Tube TV sets: They still have a couple of advantages over modern flat screens. Black will be solid black and not just some shade of grey, and color fidelity usually is better than with most flat screens (of course, the wear of the phospors over time will no longer yield the rich original colors but most older programs - not yet remastered in HD - usually still look better on CRT TV than on a flat screen, i.e. CRT TV hides deficiencies in the image sources that flat screens will brutally reveal).
Doesn't that depend on the type/age of the HD TV?
Black looks black on my HD TV, no hint of grey in it.

Drawing on recent debates in critical International Political Economy, this book?mobilizes the idea that the economy does not exist separately from society and?politics to?develop a detailed intellectual history of how the economy came to be seen as an independent domain.?
In contrast to typical approaches to writing the history of economic thought, which?assume the reality of the economy, the author describes the forms of intellectual argument that made it possible to conceive of the national and international economies as objects of intellectual inquiry. At the centre of this process was the analytical separation of power and wealth. Walter thus offers a broad historical perspective on the emergence of current IPE theory, while linking the field with contextualist intellectual history.
This important and innovative volume will be of strong interest to students and scholars of International Political Economy, International Relations, Economics, History and Political Theory.

Judd Apatow
'Trainwreck' Trailer: All Aboard the Amy Schumer Train
It's here! The first trailer for Judd Apatow's 'Trainwreck,' written by and starring the consistently delightful Amy Schumer! The film also marks something of a departure for Apatow, whose films have been mostly male-oriented. This time around, Schumer takes the spotlight as a successful, independent woman whose love life is a mess thanks to her deeply-ingrained aversion to monogamy. If we didn't know any better, this could easily be a Paul Feig film—and that's a compliment.
SXSW 2015 Film Lineup Includes New Films From Will Ferrell, Amy Schumer, Melissa McCarthy and More
The dust has barely settled from the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, and already we've got a look at the lineup for the 2015 South by Southwest Film Festival. After an initial announcement that included opening night film 'Brand,' about comedian Russell Brand,' things have filled out really nicely with a ton of promising-sounding selections.
The New 'Pee-wee' Movie Produced by Judd Apatow Will Premiere on Netflix
For years now, Paul Reubens has teased that an all-new 'Pee-wee' movie is in the works, but it was only over the course of the last year that the project finally became more of a reality. With Judd Apatow's involvement and an official script locked in, Reubens revealed that production on the film is set to begin in 2015. But don't count on seeing Pee-wee back on the big screen—he's heading to Netflix.
'Girls' Season 4: HBO Renews Lena Dunham Dramedy for 2015
Well, we probably should have seen this coming. HBO won't premiere 'Girls' season 3 until this coming Sunday (lucky you, we've got a clip right here!), but buzz around the Lena Dunham-scripted comedy remains ever high, paving the way to an official fourth season renewal for 2015!
'The Simpsons' Adds Channing Tatum, Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Judd Apatow and More
We knew that 'The Simpsons'' current season would pack a wallop with its existing crop of guest stars, as well as an upcoming installment produced from a decade-old Judd Apatow script, but this is getting ridiculous. Newly added to the season are Apatow himself, along with frequent collaborators Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann and even Channing Tatum, while 'Parks and Recreation' star Nick Offerman will appear later on!
Judd Apatow to Direct a Broadway Play, Will Rewrite the Script After Every Performance

LEBANON, N.H. -- A Dartmouth-led study of young U.S. teens showed that between 11 and 20 percent own T-shirts or other items featuring an alcohol brand, and those who do appear more likely to transition through the stages of drinking from susceptibility, to beginning drinking, to binge drinking, according to a report in the March issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
Alcohol-branded merchandise includes T-shirts, hats or other items that feature a particular brand of beverage, according to background information in the article. Increasing evidence suggests that this specialized type of marketing effectively reaches teenagers and is associated with alcohol use.
Auden C. McClure, M.D., M.P.H., of Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC), Lebanon, N.H., and colleagues conducted a telephone survey of a representative sample of 6,522 U.S. adolescents ages 10 to 14 years in 2003 during which teens reported information about their drinking behaviors and drinking attitudes. In three follow-up surveys conducted at eight-month intervals, participants answered questions about changes in drinking habits and ownership of alcohol-branded merchandise.
The most commonly owned products were clothing (64 percent) and headwear (24 percent). Seventy-five percent of items displayed beer labels, including 45 percent that featured Budweiser. Most were obtained through family and friends but some 24 percent of them were purchased directly by teens.
Among teens that had never drunk alcohol, owning alcohol-branded merchandise and positive attitudes toward drinking were both related, with each predicting the other during an eight-month follow up period. In addition, both predicted the initiation of alcohol use and binge drinking, even after controlling for other risk factors, like whether friends and parents drank alcohol, or whether alcohol was available in the home.
"Alcohol-branded merchandise is widely distribut

Research Triangle Park, NC -- David Grimes, MD, of Family Health International (FHI) was publicly welcomed into the National Academy of Sciences prestigious Institute of Medicine (IOM) today. Dr. Grimes is the second IOM member from FHI.
The Washington-based IOM is a nonprofit component of the National Academy of Sciences that works outside the framework of government to provide unbiased, evidence-based, and authoritative information and advice about health and science policy. Each year, 65 individuals are inducted into the IOM, which has about 1,700 members.
We are so fortunate to have someone with Davids world class talents working with us at FHI, said Willard Cates, Jr., MD, MPH, president of research for the organization and FHIs other IOM member. I have been privileged to work alongside David for more than three decades. He represents the essential core values of excellence, integrity, and passion for providing reproductive health services to women in the most resource-poor areas. David has inspired and mentored generations of colleagues at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, four medical schools, and now FHI.
Dr. Grimes has been a leader in developing the field of evidence-based medicine, which involves systematically searching for the best available evidence to answer clinical questions. Through his leadership, FHI has led more than half of the literature reviews on fertility regulation published in the Cochrane Library (an international effort to identify, analyze, and disseminate findings from the worlds most rigorous clinical trials). These reviews focus on the safety and effectiveness of different methods of family planning and serve as the foundation for the World Health Organizations international guidelines on contraceptive use.
An inspiring role model, Dr. Grimes has won numerous awards for training medical students and residents to make clinical decisions based on scientific evidence. Beginning in 2002, he a

In this, their 80th anniversary season, the Washington Redskins are finally complete. At long last, they have a practice bubble. Doing without a practice bubble until 2012 is like traveling by train after the invention of the jet engine (though those parlor cars could be awfully comfy).
The inescapable logic of an indoor facility was probably best expressed by Bum Phillips, the former Houston Oilers coach, who famously said, "You can't practice being miserable."
Actually, the Redskins might be complete in another respect, too. As training camp begins Thursday in Ashburn, they find themselves with two commodities they've been lacking: one, a quarterback, and two, hope. Indeed, the hills of Twitter are alive with chirping about Robert Griffin III and the club's prospects for this season. There might be more excitement about the Redskins this summer than there was in 2004, when Joe Gibbs put down his lug wrench and came back for a second term as coach.
And there should be. After all, Gibbs was a magician with X's and O's and a veritable Dr. Phil in his handling of players, but he couldn't throw the deep out. RG3 can.
A few thoughts on Washington's favorite team as the balls are being blown up and the Ace bandages neatly arranged in rows:
People will talk about all the pressure Griffin is under — as the Face of the Franchise and starting QB from the get-go — but, to me, it's overstated. Steve Young following Joe Montana in San Francisco, that's pressure. (Same with Aaron Rodgers filling Brett Favre's cleats in Green Bay.) But the quarterbacking around here has been mostly crummy for two decades. RG3, in other words, has very little to live up to. It's more a case of satisfying a fan base that's desperate to win again. There's a lot of pent-up frustration out there.
The thing I wonder about most with Griffin is burnout. He had an incredibly demanding offseason after winning the Heisman Trophy and being the second pick in the draft. And because he'd already graduated from Baylor, he spent more time working out with his new teammates and immersing himself in the playbook than most rookies do. At a certain point — say, December — he might hit a wall. I mean, the kid's 22 years old. It's definitely worth keeping an eye on.
(It also might be why the club is limiting his exposure to the media. If the club really wants to do him a favor, though, it should try to limit his exposure to DeMarcus Ware, Jason Pierre-Paul and Jason Babin. Those guys can do him considerably more damage than some sportswriter with a Mac.)
Forget about the Lombardi Trophy. The Redskins' first order of business should be becoming the best organization in the NFC East. If they can accomplish that, the Super Bowls will take care of themselves.
This is easier said than done, of course. Since Dan Snyder bought the team in 1999, they've made three playoff appearances and had seven losing seasons. Compare that to the other clubs in the division:
Eagles — Nine playoff appearances (one loss in the Super Bowl), two losing seasons.
Giants — Seven playoff appearances (two Super Bowl wins), four losing seasons.
Cowboys — Five playoff appearances, five losing seasons.
It isn't even close. And until the Redskins move up two or three rungs, their lot in life isn't going to change.

Summing myself up in a paragraph is more difficult than it sounds, so here are the top 7 things I think you need to know about me and my photography (of course my sweet, sweet husband and precious puppies are at the top of the list).
Chris and I got married in November 2011
We met through a mutual friend – Chris was the best man at my childhood neighbor's wedding. We didn't meet at the wedding, but the friend's mom thought we would make a good match and forced the friend to play matchmaker! Amazingly, it worked out :)
I have two dogs – Juneau and Scout
Yes, my photography business is named after Juneau (don't worry, Scout is the newer addition – the business pre-dates her. She is equally loved). Both are cockapoos and you'll probably see them periodically on the site!
I love anything crafty
Crocheting, knitting, quilting, decorating. I love it all. I couldn't really get into scrapbooking. It's too messy.
I have one brother
We are seven months apart. Yes, you read that right. People used to get really confused by that when we were growing up, especially since we were in the same grade. The truth is actually pretty simple….he's adopted!
I love to travel, but don't think you have to travel far to be amazed
Travelling internationally is fun, I'll give you that. But, you'd be hard pressed to find another country with as diverse a landscape as the US. Deserts, plains, mountains, bayous….it's amazing. My favorite is out west.
I'm an introvert at heart
A good night at home editing photos with a movie and the fireplace roaring….that's my idea of a good time.
I love photographing people
Famous places and landscapes are cool, but it's hard to get over the feeling that its been done a million times before. What can I add to a photo of the Empire State Building that hasn't already been captured? Probably nothing. But with people, maybe I'll capture someone's favorite photo of themselves – the one that makes them feel beautiful. Maybe I'll capture the first photo of a child – the one that shows up in their wedding slideshow years from now. Maybe I'll capture the first kiss as husband and wife – one of many during a 50 year marriage. With people, the opportunities to capture something important are endless, and I love that I get to be a part of that.

Does the notorious anti-gay group One Million Moms have a personal vendetta against JCPenney?
It would certainly seem that way, as just months after the conservative "online activism campaign" slammed the Texas-based retail group's decision to hire Ellen DeGeneres as its spokeswoman, they're at it again. This time, One Million Moms is taking issue with JCPenney's inclusion of a presumably lesbian couple as part of its Mother's Day catalog.
The photograph in question features two models identified as Wendi and her partner Maggie, along with their daughters. The women appear to be wearing wedding bands.
View the photo below, then scroll down to keep reading:
"OMM has so many issues to cover we had no choice but to move on earlier in the year but have decided to revisit this issue and speak out again," the group writes on its website. "It is obvious that JCP would rather take sides than remain neutral. JCP will hear from the other side so they need to hear from us as well."
They continue, "Last time OMM contacted JC Penney store managers, we were brushed off...OMM has been told that JCP corporate office told store managers to say, 'Thank you' and then walk away. If they want our business, then we will not be ignored!"
Whether or not One Million Moms' latest effort will make a sizable impact remains to be seen, but the failure of their planned boycott following DeGeneres' appointment is telling.
In addition to the DeGeneres debacle, One Million Moms blasted Urban Outfitters last month for a photo of a same-sex kiss which appeared in its catalog, and also condemned Toys 'R' Us for carrying a controversial January issue of Archie Comics, which depicted a gay interracial wedding between two active military officers.
Take a look at several other gay-related protests against retail outlets and other businesses below:
One Million Moms threatened to boycott JCPenney after the Texas-based retail chain appointed the openly gay DeGeneres as their spokesperson. "By jumping on the pro-gay bandwagon, JCPenney is attempting to gain a new target market and in the process will lose customers with traditional values that have been faithful to them over all these years," the group wrote on its website. Meanwhile, DeGeneres took to her show in defense. "Here are the values I stand for: I stand for honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you'd want to be treated and helping those in need," she said.
This past holiday season, LGBT rights advocates called for shoppers to skip the Salvation Army's iconic donation buckets due to the organization's conservative view of homosexuality. "The Salvation Army has a history of active discrimination against gays and lesbians. While you might think you're helping the hungry and homeless by dropping a few dollars in the bright red buckets, not everyone can share in the donations," Bil Browning noted on The Bilerico Project. "The organization also has a record of actively lobbying governments worldwide for anti-gay policies -- including an attempt to make consensual gay sex illegal."
NYU freshman Hillary Dworkoski has launched a protest against the fast food chain, saying she is disturbed by the company's reported financial support of several groups with "anti-gay" motives, including Focus On The Family, Exodus International, and the Family Research Council. A petition calling for the university to close its Chick-fil-A franchise, reportedly the only one in Manhattan, has attracted over 10,000 signatures since Dworkoski launched it in January.
Iowa residents and LGBT rights advocates launched a Facebook boycott against Des Moines bakery Victoria's Cake Cottage after its Christian owner refused to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple. "I didn't do the cake because of my convictions for their lifestyle," Victoria Childress, who met the couple during a taste-testing appointment, said. "It is my right, and it's not to discriminate against them. It's not so much to do with them, it's to do with me and my walk with God and what I will answer [to] Him for." After the couple's story made national news, a Facebook group was launched in their support, and currently has about 600 members.
LGBT rights advocates cried foul after the electronics retailer made "large political donations" to a group in Minnesota which used the money to advance Tom Emmer, an anti-equality candidate. Although Best Buy scored high on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index and officials argued that they do not claim to agree with all issues a particular candidate promotes, HRC and Georgia Equality authorities nonetheless planned a 2010 protest, noting, "Best Buy has failed to respond at all to our community."
LGBT rights advocates blasted Target for donating to conservative PAC Minnesota Forward, a group which supported anti-gay marriage candidate Tom Emmer during the Minnesota gubernatorial campaign in 2010. Pop diva Lady Gaga, a vocal LGBT rights supporter, quickly nixed her deal for an exclusive special edition of her "Born This Way" album as a result. Target officials, who have apologized for their support of Emmer, recently filed a lawsuit against the gay rights group Canvass for a Cause, after members demonstrated outside several San Diego area stores.
The gay rights group Stonewall threatened to boycott Heinz after the condiment company yanked this controversial mayonnaise ad which featured two men kissing in 2008. As The Guardian reports, the ad was pulled after just a week on the air after viewers complained to the Advertising Standards Authority that it was "offensive" and "inappropriate to see two men kissing."
The American Family Association (AFA) originally planned to boycott Wal-Mart during the company's post-Thanksgiving sales in 2006 over the retail group's support of gay rights groups, but eventually withdrew its objections. As the Associated Press reported, Wal-Mart officials said in a statement that the company "will not make corporate contributions to support or oppose highly controversial issues unless they directly relate to our ability to serve our customers," but later said the company would continue working with the Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and other gay-rights groups on specific issues such as workplace equality.

I saw one privelege first hand. Recently, My sister and brother-in-law and myself rented a vehicle. It was rented in my brother-in-law's name. Well, my sister gets to drive the vehicle with no extra cost because they are married. If I were to rent a vehicle and wanted my partner to drive also....even if we have all the contracts, t's crossed and I's dotted, we would still have to pay the extra driver money. Equal....I don't think so.

The marriage institution is for the purposes I described. There are other legal arrangement for those who associate themselve for other reasons. Marriage, in its intended state, formalizes the commitment of a man and woman to society, which society rewards. Homosexual couples, by definition, cannot fulfill this social function and therefore should not reap the benefits.
There is no logical argument to allow marriage between same-sex couples.

This did nothing for my dry, fine, wavy hair. I have to agree with the previous reviewers. This seemed to make my hair even more unmanageable - I had to load up on conditioner after using this! Maybe this would be O.K. for normal to greasy hair. Guess the results depend on your hair texture. At best, I would say this was average. This went straight back to Ulta.

This is a great shampoo to me. What's going on with the bad rap? It leaves my hair in MUCH BETTER condition than the self absorbed, which is for damaged hair, does. It smells great, lathers great and leaves my hair soft-and my hair is DAMAGED!

well I got this free when i bought manipulator. I think its good, but i really dont think its a good shampoo for very dry or damaged hair. My hair is a little dry and it left my hair soft and shinny. The smell is nice, but 17$ is too much for this shampoo.

This product is totally average. I don't hate it but can get the same results from drug store shampoos. I used this for 3 years, just switched, and don't even notice a difference except I now have more money. It also doesn't lather well.

Is it just me, or would TiGi go out of business if it weren't for the scents they use? I do love their scents, and I am not fond of smelly stuff, but I have never been happy with any of these products. This shampoo seemed to suck all the life out of my hair. Honestly, I'd be happier with a bottle of Loreals nutrivive, and that stuff is only 3 bucks. This bottle was I think 10 or 15.

not at all.and my hair was not soft and without shine. This is supposed to be a proffessionnal formula since it is sold in salons. Well this is the last time I buy shampoo there.
Keep your money and buy L'oreal curl vive, the best moisturizing shampoo, a knock off of kerastase bain satin.Cheap and effective.

Before I got a body wave and double processed my hair, I loved the shampoo and conditioner. It left my hair feeling soft and with lots of body. Since then, my hair feels really dry when using them.

I just received these shoes not to long ago and I tried them on and they look cool and there comfortable but there are some black marks on them from when they were made and I can see some glue on the shoes. In my opinion if somebody is spending their money on one hundred and eighty dollar shoes then the maker of the shoes better make them near perfect for them to be worth that much money. So I'm going to send them back and try to get a better pair and if there worse or the same I will just get my money back. ... read more
I bought these for my son who is 6'3" tall and very slim, they are a great fit and the length is perfect. They wash and dry well and don't lose there shape. I will be buying another pair in a different colour. ... read more
This is one of the best purchases I have ever made in my whole entire life, these trackies have changed my life and made me see light at the end of the tunnel, my wife left me and I got kicked out my house and was having a crisis and then these trackies made all my problems go away, amazing, buy them to change your life ... read more
Really in love with the design and color scheme. These are really comfortable and have a certain mystique because it looks great for casual or for running purposes. I am starting to dig the boost technology. Hire me Adidas? Would love to work at adidas ... read more
My son started wearing these in early April 2015 and has averaged running about 25 to 30 miles a week since then. After six months the tread wear is pretty even but it is time to replace them. The continental tread is pretty tough and no issues with the upper portion. He races in spikes though. My brother-in-law who is a college cross country coach recommends getting two pairs of training shoes to alternate. Pretty expensive when I have 4 boys and 2 are already involved in XC. However, injuries could prove more expensive. ... read more
I use them to referee soccer games. I have used them on wet & dry field turf, also on dry grass. If you are looking for a minimalist upper with a flexible sole, these are great. They are cushy when up on your toes sprinting and cushy for heel strikes. I've put about 60 miles on them with no discernible wear and less knee pain then my previous Nike shoes. Would love to see the "boost" used in a Samba-like shoe to play soccer in. ... read more
I PLAY WIDE RECIEVER, AND THESE CLEATS ARE GREAT, GREAT TRACTION TO MAKE QUICK CUTS AND CHANGE DIRECTION EASILY. HOW EVER AFTER READING ALL OF THESE REVIEWS ON THE CLEAT PULLING OFF, I NOTICED ON MY PAIR AND A TEAMMATES PAIR THAT THE CLEAT IN FACT IS PULLING AWAY FROM THE CLEAT. IF YOU CAN DEAL WITH THAT IT'S A PRETTY GOOD CLEAT, MIND YOU IVE ONLY USED THEM THREE TIMES THIS SEASON. ... read more
The shoes are great they fit perfectly and the style is flawless. I don't like how on my right shoe i can be standing, and no matter how I tie, adjust of modify my foot in the shoe, my foot always shifts and it becomes a bit uncomfortable. but other than that, it is a pretty amazing shoe. Great feel and resistance ... read more

These trainers are the most comfortable trainers ever. So comfortable that they feel like slippers. I wear them everywhere and I've even bee for a few runs around my local common in them. Great everyday wear or even as a running shoe. ... read more
Great pair of trainers. As someone who has flat feet I have been buying the supernova sequence for years as they are the best shoes at supporting my almost non existent arches. Although these seem to be harder at first, when you start wearing them in there is a definite boost to the spring in your step and they are very comfortable trainers. Highly recommended. ... read more
It's a great fit and lightweight too. I bought it for fashion rather than purpose - I'm a runner, but I don't think I could wear this while running, but it is perfect for warmth post run! Also, I agree with the other reviewer - ALL adidas clothing comes up small - no matter what item of clothing I buy, I always get it in a larger size! Good value for the cost too ... read more
Comfortable sneaker, however after owning them for appropriately 2 months now, I have noticed that my right foot has become a little more sore than usual. However, when I rock a different basketball pair the minor pain isn't present afterwards. Keep in mind I am an active athlete when it comes to local basketball leagues. I also play basketball at open gyms 3-5 days a week for 2+ hours. I think this shoe is better as a lifestyle shoe, however if you purchase a pair primarily for basketball, select the crazy light boost 2015. Adidas is STILL my #1 brand though! ... read more
I'm almost 5'5" and about 165 pounds. I got a large because.....I'm not too sure why.... but they fit around my waist and thighs really well. It's just a bit too long and not that tight around my calves as much as I would like :( but besides that, they're really nice. ... read more
I usually wear other brands and recently, I have been appreciating the models from Adidas this year like the tubular and espically the pure boost 2. I love this shoe for casual wear and I constantly get compliments on these. Let's start off with the cushioning. The boost midsole is very soft and shock absorbent yet still retains its shape throughout every step. There is no insole so you are on top of the boost with opened areas or pods of boosting in the heel and midfoot. I wish the pure boost 3 would have opened areas or pods in the forefoot. Next is the upper, durability, and outsole. The outsole is a soft rubber yet I do not see any signs of damage. The boost is soft but fairly durable, I would just be cautious with it. I have worn these four times a week for a month and I see no damage, except for stains. Buy a bleaching pen and bleach the stains on the boost in order to keep them nice and clean for a year. The upper is soft and harder in the heel or added support. The toecap of the pure boost one was removed, which is kind of disappointing. All in all, it's more comfortable than a roshe, which is amazing. It will hold up for a year and you'll love this product! ... read more

BOSTON (5-19-10) -- Sequencing DNA could get a lot faster and cheaper and thus closer to routine use in clinical diagnostics thanks to a new method developed by a research team based at Boston University. The team has demonstrated the first use of solid state nanopores tiny holes in silicon chips that detect DNA molecules as they pass through the pore to read the identity of the four nucleotides that encode each DNA molecule. In addition, the researchers have shown the viability of a novel, more efficient method to detect single DNA molecules in nanopores.
"We have employed, for the first time, an optically-based method for DNA sequence readout combined with the nanopore system," said Boston University biomedical engineer Amit Meller, who collaborated with other researchers at Boston University, and at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. "This allows us to probe multiple pores simultaneously using a single fast digital camera. Thus our method can be scaled up vastly, allowing us to obtain unprecedented DNA sequencing throughput."
The research is detailed in Nano Letters [http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/nl1012147]. The National Institutes of Health are currently considering a four-year grant application to further advance Meller's nanopore sequencing project.
This low-cost, ultra-fast DNA sequencing could revolutionize both healthcare and biomedical research, and lead to major advances in drug development, preventative medicine and personalized medicine. By gaining access to the entire sequence of a patient's genome, a physician could determine the probability of that patient developing a specific genetic disease.
The team's findings show that nanopores, which can analyze extremely long DNA molecules with superior precision, are uniquely positioned to compete with current, third-generation DNA sequencing methods for cost, spe

Award-Winning Chili
- Active Time 20m
- Total Time 13h 30m
Serves 6
My contribution to the tailgate was a white chili, made with beans, chicken and lots of cheese. The recipe was created by Todd and Nancy Walters, who won a Kansas City cook-off on a night when the blue haze of barbecuing filled the air for miles. Not since the ancient Greeks sacrificed thousands of oxen before battle, it seemed, had so much prime meat been grilled in one place at one time.
- For the Beans:
- 1 pound dried Great Northern or other white beans (about 2 1/2 cups), picked over, rinsed
- For the Chicken:
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 quart chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
- For the Chili:
- 1 tablespoon pure olive oil
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- Two 4-ounce cans chopped green chilies
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 1/4 pounds Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (7 cups)
- Salt
3 to 4 jalapenos, halved, seeded and coarsely chopped
- Sour cream, for serving
In a large saucepan, cover the beans with 2 inches of water and let soak
overnight. Drain the beans, return them to the saucepan and add enough water
to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over moderate heat and simmer until
tender, about 1 hour. Drain the beans.
Meanwhile, put the chicken breasts in a saucepan and add the chicken
stock; if necessary, add a little water to cover the chicken. Bring to a simmer
and cook over low heat until the chicken is just opaque throughout, about 15
minutes. Transfer the breasts to a plate to cool, then shred. Boil the stock over
high heat until reduced to 2 1/2 cups, about 4 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions and cook over moderate
heat, stirring, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the canned chilies, garlic,
cumin and cayenne and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the beans, chicken,
reduced stock and 4 cups of the cheese and simmer for 10 minutes. Season
with salt.
Ladle the chili into large bowls and top each serving with 1/4 cup of cheese
and a generous sprinkling of the chopped jalapenos. Serve the sour cream
and the remaining cheese and chilies on the side.
The recipe can be prepared through Step 2 and refrigerated.
