FLARE Magazine, with a focus on talented Canadian's and their role in the local and international stage of art, fashion, entertainment, and with some of the best articles on health and beauty; it's no wonder they have well over 135 thousand subscribers.
I started reading FLARE long before becoming the Marquis of Fashion. In fact, I was about nine years old when I picked up my first copy from a grocery store. It was not unlike the little speech that Nigel gives Andy in the devil wears Prada:
"This is not just a magazine. This is a shining beacon of hope for… oh, I don't know… let's say a young boy growing up in [Edmonton, Alberta] with [one] brothers pretending to go to soccer practice when he was really going to sewing class and reading [Flare] under the covers at night with a flashlight"
FLARE was catalyst, it peaked my interest in fashion and gave me a glimpse into a world filled with abounding inspiration, colourful insights and seemingly limitless possibility. So you can imagine how ridiculously excited I was when I received this email:
"…On October 19, FLARE will be celebrating Canadian fashion by wearing and showing off a few of our favourite pieces at Toronto Fashion Week …we'd like to include a few of our favourite bloggers "
Without further ado here is a photo of the piece, for the full article, click here.
The objective was to feature my favorite Canadian designer(s) but with so much talent coming out of Canada it was a difficult decision. After much debate I went with Dean and Dan Caten of DSquared². They are after all, two of Canada's most successful contemporary designers and their collection is the perfect blend of North American/Canadian pop culture and exquisite Italian tailoring.
See the full Fall 2011 Dsquared shoot.
Since I know I am going to get a bunch of email asking what I am wearing (PS I love those email, so keep 'em coming) here it is:
- Leather-Front Blazer, Poplin Suspenders Sportshirt, and Straight-Leg Jeans, all from the Dsquared² Fall 2011 collection.
- Shoes: Prada Pull-On Ankle Boot
- Accessories: Gucci belt and Ray-Ban Aviators
Heartfelt THANK YOU! To FLARE Magazine for not only being a great beacon in Canadian Fashion, but for including me in your celebration of our Fashion industry! Check out FLARE and GET A SUBSCRIPTION!

iPhone 5S vs iPhone 5C head to head review
More expensive model beats its cheaper sibling on performance and battery life
There are only a few major differences between the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, but performance is one of them.
The iPhone 5S features Apple's 64bit A7 chip, which is paired with the firm's M7 coprocessor for more accurate movement detection. The iPhone 5C, on the other hand, features Apple's previous generation A6 processor that made its debut in the iPhone 5.
While there are no major performance differences between the two in real-world testing, the iPhone 5S is the more powerful of the two compared to its cheaper sibling in gaming, opening apps, and loading webpages. We also found everything was a little bit smoother on the iPhone 5S, with the iPhone 5C stuttering occasionally.
Winner: iPhone 5S
Both the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C run Apple's latest iOS 7 mobile operating system.
Of course, the software remains nearly identical on both devices. There are a few slight differences, with the iPhone 5S boasting the ability to buy apps, and of course unlock the device using the built-in Touch ID sensor. The iPhone 5S camera app also comes with a built-in slow-motion video recording mode, a feature that's missing on the cheaper iPhone 5C.
As we mentioned, iOS 7 is also slightly smoother on the iPhone 5C, with apps opening a fraction quicker, webpages loading more smoothly, and gameplay being more impressive.
Beyond that, however, you'll find the same, minimalist iOS 7 user interface and features on both the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. Although Apple's latest mobile operating system received a fair bit of criticism at launch and we still have our gripes with the reworked user interface, we have warmed to iOS 7. The new user interface feels fresh, and new features such as the Control Center and the redesigned Safari web browser are welcome.
Check out our full iOS 7 review.
Winner: iPhone 5S
Next: Cameras, battery and storage, price.

Hi there,
I recently added an FAQ page to my site using "jump to" html so that each question was linked to the answer below. I don't mind the questions being blue and looking like links, but I don't want the answers to also be blue, since they are not links.

A fine squad-level strategy RPG and one of the last excuses you'll have to spend 30 or 40 hours with your PSone.

Not as deep, heavy or pretty as the competition, but strangely appealing once the journey starts rolling.
It could have been vastly improved with a bit more graphical polish, and the addition of more exploration and side-quests to break up the monotony of its near-constant combat.

If the Journal can do me this favor I should esteem it a great kindness.And may I ask the further favor of a reference to some history of origins of the ethical code? The high standard of honor, and disinterested spirit, and devotion to mankind that animates physicians has always excited not only my admiration, but my curiosity as to where it came from. A profession is a means of livelihood, but their principles of honor are constantly in the way of doctors making money. It is as if the profession in early days had been a religious order.

By JOE SCALZO
When Purdue asked Najee Tyler to make a switch, he decided to make a change.
Tyler, a 6-foot-5, 235-pound quarterback, will transfer to Youngstown State, bolstering the Penguins at the game's most important position — and the one with the most question marks entering the fall.
He will sign with the team today and have four years of eligibility remaining after redshirting last fall with the Boilermakers.
"When I came for my visit, it just felt like family right from the start," Tyler said by phone on Monday afternoon. "The players, the coaches, the tradition of Youngstown football itself and Youngstown the town, I liked all of it.
"It felt like a real football town."
Tyler was the Brooklyn (N.Y.) player of the year at Xaverian High after completing 160 of 306 passes (.523) for 2,300 yards with 23 touchdowns and six interceptions as senior. But at Purdue, he would have been stuck behind sophomore QB Robert Marve, who started 11 games at the University of Miami in 2008.
The Boilermakers wanted Tyler to switch to H-back or tight end but his heart was under center.
"In my point of view, I'm a quarterback," he said. "I had a real good experience at Purdue competing at a big-time program but we had a kid who had some time under his belt [at QB] and it didn't work out for me."
At YSU, Tyler will compete for the starting job with junior Marc Kanetsky and redshirt freshman Kurt Hess, who were neck-and-neck for the No. 1 position during spring practice. Redshirt freshman Gannon Hulea was the No. 3 quarterback after true freshman Meiko Locksley left the team midway through spring practice.
Kanetsky is the only quarterback on the roster with college experience, having started one game last fall. Hempfield Area (Pa.) High QB Dante Nania, who will be a senior this fall, verbally committed to the Penguins last week.
Because YSU competes in the Football Championship Subdivision (I-AA), Tyler is eligible to play right away. He would have had to sit out a season if he transferred to a Football Bowl Subdivision school (I-A).
"That was one of the big factors," said Tyler, who plans to enroll a few days after July 4.
Tyler didn't know much about YSU before he made the decision to transfer but was quickly impressed by the school's tradition and its facilities.
"After talking to my high school coach and a lot of different people who know a lot about college football, I realized this is where I wanted to be," said Tyler, who also liked that it's only about 61/2 hours from home. "I mean Youngstown itself, not just the university. You look at all the coaches that have come out of Youngstown and the tradition of Youngstown.
"Then you look at the football program — they compete at a very high level."

Letters of support from two Government MPs for Donghua Liu's
citizenship bid have been kept secret - despite letters from
Labour politicians for his residency bid being released this
The Herald reported in March that Liu received citizenship in
2010 against official advice after lobbying by Maurice
Williamson, the Minister for Building and Construction, and
John Banks, the Mayor of Auckland at the time who later
entered Parliament as an Act MP.
However, the Department of Internal Affairs refused to
release the letters sent by Mr Williamson and Mr Banks under
the privacy and commercial provisions in the Official
Information Act.
The Office of the Ombudsman is reviewing the decision but the
Herald also asked the DIA to reconsider after Immigration
officials released letters from Labour MPs David Cunliffe and
Chris Carter written for Liu's residency bid.
Jeff Montgomery, general manager of Births, Deaths, Marriages
and Citizenship, confirmed today that the department would
not release the letters from the elected politicians.
"I am confident that our decision to withhold some
information was the correct response. We will cooperate fully
with any approach the Ombudsman makes as a result of your
The Herald first asked for Liu's residency file on May 8 and
the Immigration Minister Michael Woodhouse asked for
information on the file the next day.
Immigration officials refused the request on Monday, on
privacy grounds, so a refined request was made for any
correspondence from MPs leading up to Liu's residency bid
being granted against advice in 2005.
Two days later, the 2003 letter from Mr Cunliffe to
Immigration officials was released and published online by
the Herald - despite the Labour leader earlier denying he
played any party in Liu's residency.
He has since been battling to save his job and has since
accused the National Party of a dirty tricks campaign in the
lead-up to the election.
Prime Minister John Key had earlier admitted knowing about
the letter from Cunliffe for several weeks after being
briefed by Mr Woodhouse's office, but denied it was a smear
Minister's account
May 8: Immigration Minister Michael Woodhouse is questioned
in the House and by media about his meetings and any National
Party association with Donghua Liu. Mr Woodhouse requests
information on the file to see if there is anything relevant
that he needs to know about. The Herald requests Liu's
residency file under the Official Information Act (OIA)
May 9: In response to file review, Mr Woodhouse is verbally
advised - among other things - of the existence of two
Parliamentary advocacy letters regarding Donghua Liu, one
from Mr Cunliffe and another from the office of Chris Carter.
Weekend of 10-11 May: Mr Woodhouse informs Prime Minister
John Key's Office of the existence of the letters.
Week 12-16 May: Mr Woodhouse's office receives hard copy of
Mid-late May: Mr Woodhouse's office provides copy of letters
to the Prime Minister's office.
16 June: The Herald run story on Labour donations and
connections. The Herald's OIA request is declined on privacy
grounds. The Herald puts in a refined OIA request for MP
representations for Donghua Liu to Immigration NZ.
18 June: Immigration NZ release Mr Cunliffe's Donghua Liu
letter to the Herald
June 19:
• 2pm Mr Woodhouse denies telling Mr Key about the letters
• 3pm Mr Woodhouse says officials from his office briefed Mr
Key's office on the letters.
• 7pm Mr Woodhouse's office says the minister himself told Mr
Key's office about the letters and his office also gave
copies of the letters to Mr Key's office.

Takeaways From Hillary Clinton's Acceptance Speech, Day 4 At DNC
Clinton spoke for about an hour as she outlined why the American public should trust her to sit in the Oval Office. Her speech also served as a stinging rebuke of her Republican competitor Donald Trump, who she cast as woefully unfit to be president.

But didn't Bhagwan Dan's 5-minute marriage skew & screw the data? Please discuss.
I'm not getting married even after gays and lesbians are allowed to marry. Gotta have some standards.
If your parents are on your back about living with someone while not being married to him/her, I kind of doubt they'd get off if you told them it was to protest the fact that gays and lesbians can't marry. At least, my mother wouldn't.
For a lot of reasons, marriage seems old fashioned and out of sync with urban living and values, especially for couples who don't intend to have kids. That right-wingers have staked a claim on the definition of marriage and denied rights to gays/lesbians makes the whole institution even more of a relic.
Defense of Marriage Act that is preventing Stubbs' husband from getting benefits was passed in 1996. We can thank Clinton for that one.
Can't it be a lightly held conviction and a convenient excuse?
We're not marrying because we don't want to and have no romanticized respect for the "institution" (which used to be some place people were locked into).
I wouldn't say excuse, per se, but the answer isn't a black&white. A reason to one person is another person's excuse. But if both people agree, it is as valid as any... not until homosexuals can legally marry, or waiting until the career takes off, or seeing how things work out with each other for a time period, or only if there are kids involved, or waiting until the Vatican/temple/tabernacle opens up, etc; reasons which are valid to the people in the relationship. Anyone who wants to say otherwise should butt out.
However, as the first anniversary moves to the fifth, to the tenth, and so on towards death, I think if it is not human nature, then it is still in the American's culture to look to a solid commitment, something both people can hold onto as making the relationship lasting, and more tangible then just a standard LTR. Something more then just "I Love You"; it could be wedding, buying a house, buying a car, getting a dog, getting a kid, something, any one thing, that can be pointed at and declared to be a substantial commitment. Sure, by real I mean to gesture to the family, to friends, to the world at-large to say "hands-off, eyes forward, WE, I & HIM/HER, ARE TOGETHER FOR THE LONG HAUL".
Don't worry, conservatives have an answer to the pension inequity problem you describe: Eliminate pensions for everybody! Your retirement will be funded by "private savings." That way, gay and straight people who get too old to work will all be equally screwed. Yay, equality!
My partner works for Amtrak and has a defined benefit pension waiting for him when he retires. I, on the other hand, have a shitty 401k that I hate, because I hate having to pay attention to shit like that. Investments are boring. People who talk about investments are even more boring. Sorry to say it, I'm sure many will say I have a character flaw and that I should "pull myself up by my bootstraps" or some crap like that, but that's just the kind of guy I am.
My mom is living very nicely on my deceased Dad's pension and Social Security. In fact, she probably makes more money than the average family in the town she lives in. Which is great for her, and I applaud it.
When I think about the whole pension thing, it makes me really mad, so I try not to think about it, deciding to focus instead on my old age eating cat food if I outlive my partner.
While protesting persecution of G&Ls, I think the reason for this is much simpler: women have rights. They no longer need to marry to move up in life.
er... while protesting the persecution of G&Ls is noble.. is what I meant to say.
Just to pick a nit, Dan, "No longer the majority" is not the same as "A minority". Married couples still hold a plurality of households.
Catalina Vel-Duray,
The recently enacted Pension Protection Act of 2006 may allow your partner to name you as a beneficiary of his pension savings.
Alternatively, it may be possible to roll your partner's defined pension benefit plan savings into an IRA when he separates from service. If that is an option, he could name you as the IRA beneficiary and the problem could be mitigated.
He can find out if these options are available to him by contacting his HR department.
Catalina, dear: cat food is more expensive than cheap canned meats like store brand tuna. You won't be shopping in the pet food aisle; you'll be living it up at Big Lots.
"Or easy out, a convenient way for some straight folks to permanently get their parents off their backs?"
Hmm...somehow I don't see this argument convincing Ma and Pop out in Toppenish that the shackin' is okay.
Like somebody said upthread, I can see where it's more likely a bit of conviction and a bit of convenience. As you pointed out, even those couples can and do marry if they so desire.
Well, lots of progressive parents want their kids to marry. Saying "not until the homos can!" might not work on fundy 'rents out in the sticks, but it will shut up your tree-hugging parents in Wallingford pretty quick.
I don't think it's so much an excuse as another feature that makes marriage less attractive. Also, with the stunning rate of divorce, it's kind of like, why bother? If you've got a 50/50 chance of divorce, you might as well save yourself the legal hassle. Honestly, gay marriage may be the only thing that will bring straight people back into it. After all, we're supposed to be the trend setters.
Another thing that may skew the numbers:
I live in Massachusetts.
I am gay.
I am legally married.
So whenever I fill out those pesky surveys, I check the box that says "Married", not a "cohabiting" or "Shacked up" or "Domestic Partnership". And I know others do was well, even if they aren't legally married. So, some (small) percent of that 49.7% of married people is married gay folk.
Bottom line: it's not gay marriage; it's just marriage.
Whoo-Hoo! Maybe I can have Tuna Helper Sundays in my one room apartment with the kitchen along one wall.
(Actually, I'd be quite happy with that, as long as the room was large and I had a balcony. A real balcony, none of this "Juliet" bullshit. Senior Citizen housing planners, please take note.)
Thanks for the tip, Andrew.
I see marriage as a symbol, similar to the American flag. It may have been a powerful and inclusive force at one time, but it has been so twisted and stripped of meaning by fools and demagogues that it has become less than meaningless. Just as I can be a good citizen and exemplary neighbor without ever flying the stars and stripes, I can be a good partner and exemplary boyfriend/girlfriend without ever signing the marriage papers.
At last, something we agree on across the great divide of sports fan/sports-nonfan.
I don't plan on getting married, and that's part of the reason, but not directly. Mostly, I'm put off by all the sanctimonious baggage that goes along with the word "marriage". The legal recognition of a long-term relationship would be worthwhile, but although I don't know the details except that there would be severe disadvantages, I'd rather get a civil union and create all the powers of attorney, etc., and have it explicitly be just a legal arrangement and not part of the outdated religious tradition of marriage.
And Catalina, one way I've found to make investment seem less boring is to think about what it's actually accomplishing in the grander scheme of things. Investing money somewhere is exerting some control over how the world's productive effort is spent. At the level of personal investing, it's only a tiny bit of control compared to say, what a venture capitalist can do, but still, doing it responsibly can be considered a civic duty analogous to voting. Along those lines, I put my 401k in a fund that tracks the Calvert Social Index, which is an aggregation of the value of companies like the Dow, etc., but it excludes companies that have to do with weapons, tobacco, gambling, unfair labor practices, bad environmental records, and some other no-no's. So, I knew that the little bit of money I'm putting into the capitalist machine is used in a way that reflects how I think about the world.
That was a great piece, Annie : )
LOL at this section: "my free time was spent exposing hypocrisies."
That is awesome.
Your brain must be melting given the state of US society today -mine sure is.
I kind of wish we had more modern approach to relationships, like in Scandinavian countries, where marriage is seen as the outmoding institution it is.

Suppose there is a pack of mixed spices that does not have a reliable hechsher, but looks like it would be good for besamim. Would it be OK to use them for havdalah since you have no intention of eating them?

You cannot say a bracha on three kinds of spices: spices that are made to remove a bad smell, spices on an erva (someone you are forbidden to marry), and spices of non-jews. (See Shulchan Aruch OC 217)
Additionally it would be forbidden to smell objects which are assur behanaah (deriving pleasure from them is forbidden) because of their issur. These things include among other things meat&milk, orla, and yayin nesach. Presumably one would not make a bracha on something one is forbidden to smell.
As long as they were grown outside of Eretz Yisrael (so that there are no issues of Orlah, Reva'i, etc.), and you are sure that no wine product (i.e., Yayin Nesech) has been added, I can't think of any problem with it.

Gillian with long hair almost makes her look alien. Almost Ann Coulter like, too. I dunno if I like it, but the show played a pretty hefty role in my childhood, so it isn't going to hinder moi expectations.
She betta believe, fer realz!
Unless the SPD tear-gasses the theatre, it's not gonna be the Battle in Seattle.
Rumor was that Ed Norton was threatening to not do publicity for the Hulk movie unless he was allowed in the editing room to try to salvage the movie. He supposedly messed around with the script, too. I think Iron Man will do fine, but may underperform due to superhero movie burnout. The X-Files movie looks fun, though David Duchovney looks like an old woman now.

Vital Signs: Winter Skewed Who Hired in First Quarter
One advantage the ADP jobs report has over the Labor Department's monthly nonfarm payrolls is that ADP breaks down private payrolls by size of firm. The latest numbers show that so far in 2014, job creation is more evenly distributed by firm size, but that might reflect the vagaries of this harsh winter.
The more balanced mix of job growth is a change from 2013, when small businesses — those with 1-49 employees — carried the water when it came to hiring. Those companies accounted for 48% of new hires in 2013, while their payrolls have only a 42% share of all jobs according to ADP data. One reason could be the bounce-back in housing. Construction firms tend to fall into the small-business category.
The mix was more equitable in 2014's first quarter but only because the number of small business hires slowed much more than did job gains at medium (50-499 employees) and large (500-plus workers) firms did. The weather — and its drag on demand — might have caused small firms to rethink quickly their hiring plans. If so, small business hiring should pick up this spring once demand recovers.

These curtains completed the Finding Nemo theme in my Grandson nursery! Sheer enough for filtered sunlight. Put up a double rod, so in winter can add some thermals under in case a chill comes through. They are beautiful! 4 panels are perfect for a window 70 inch wide window!
I purchased these curtains in the store since they were double the price online! Each package contains only 1 window panel and my room has 3 windows! So I got them for $27 compared to $54 online! These curtains are beautiful and they're not too sheer. The material is beautiful. They call it crushed silk. So the curtains actually have a sort of wrinkled look up close but it's a beautiful look. Even though I wanted these in the pink, I took the blue seeing as I wasn't going to pay double the price for the pink since the blue is just as beautiful. Buy these in store! A lot cheaper!
These window panels are way better than I thought they would be. I love the feel the look and of course the price, I think I got a steal for these for the cost. I bought them for my daughters room and blended them inside some black curtains and they looked even better once they were up.
My daughter has light lavender walls in her room and she loves to add the touches of blue combined with the lavender.It made her room cheery, especially with the sheets and comforter that have the same blue as the curtains and lavender accents.
the price is awesome, the product is great, my 3 year old daughter LOVES the curtain, she will show off to everyone who came to the house. it is a little thiner than I thought, but I also got another sheer one behind it, so it's perfect
I got these curtains for my daughter for Christmas (she's 13), and she couldn't wait to get them up. We haven't even had time to paint the room yet, but the curtains are already up. They really do look great!
I bought these with the your zone peacock plush panels for a window. They match! Very nice looking, very wide - a great price. The crushed fabric give more privacy, then a plain sheer fabric.
My 11 year old daughter picked these out on line for her room and the colors are lovely and soften the light into her room. Really pretty.
I love these window treatments. Walking into the room gives me such a cheerful, happy, and refreshed feeling.
Highly recommend!
Product is good, you did not sent to the store I have requested,my family had drive farther to pick up the order.
These curtains are a great addition to a room. It helps brighten any space and they are very cute.
Perfect color to compliment my "beachy" gameroom. Very light and airy.
just what i wanted as described, they look great

I have tried searching for a solution but I don't think I've found one.
For some reason, my main page is alright (there is a tiled background image behind my content, which has a #fff background), but every other page except for some has the content background completely disappear and the sidebar slip off the side and go to the bottom of the posts. It's really hard to explain so here's an example: http://samazama.animeblogger.net/?cat=5
As you can see, the background tile is visible instead of the white background that is supposed to be behind the text. (See main page). The sidebar is also below the post instead of on the side.
I'm not sure if this is a CSS issue or if there is some malignant code I put in my posts. Any help would really be appreciated.
There is also an image wrap problem I'd like to address but first I want to fix this.

A labor union, five members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, and five community health nurses sued Gov. Corbett and his administration in Commonwealth Court Monday to block a plan to close 26 of the state's 60 public health centers operated by the Department of Health.
The plan would eliminate 73 jobs, including 26 community health nurses, SEIU Healthcare PA, the labor union, said in a news release.
The petitioners said the closures would violate the Pennsylvania Constitution and Pennsylvania law. Acting Secretary of Health Michael Wolf said he received the lawsuit Tuesday afternoon and could not comment on it, but he reiterated his support for consolidation.

Kelly's St. John's Wort pages for depression
general information
recommended dosage
any side effects?
general cautions
switching medications
long-term effects
getting off the meds
other options
it's working!
Kelly tried Paxil
my homepage
my good friend Andy Zull
my email
What is the correct dosage?
The normal dosage, according to the original study by the British Medical Journal, is three capsules of St. John's Wort extract per day, 300 mg each, standardized to contain 0.3% hypericin (note: this is a total of 900 mg per day at 0.3% -- too little might not be effective, but some people prefer to start out with a lower dosage anyway or have a smaller body size). Smaller people might want to only take two capsules, teens should only take one or two, and children (at the advice of a doctor only!) should take no more than one.
Just about every brand labels their product differently. It can be hard to know what you're getting, so you might have to do a little math... for example, if the brand you found is standardized to contain 0.15% hypericin, you'll need to take twice as much. Other brands, you might need to take less. Pay attention to what you're buying, and make sure you take the right amount. More information in my small FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on the message forum.
How long does it take to work?
It's different for everybody. You need to give it six weeks for it to work, although many people start to feel better in as soon as a week. Stick to the same brand during the entire period. If it doesn't work for you, you may have to try another brand (a better quality one), because SJW works for most people. But not everyone. If it really doesn't work for you, don't worry there are a number of other natural options like 5-HTP and Rhodiola Rosea that can be just as effective. The most important advice I can offer is to give it time. And treat yourself once you've started taking SJW, as you're on the road to recovery.
If you try SJW, remember that it takes up to six weeks for it to work. If you stop taking it after a week or two, you'll never know if it could have worked for you.
What's a good Brand?
There are now many, many different brands of St. John's Wort (SJW) on the market. Some of them are good quality, some are not. The herbal industry is not regulated like the pharmaceutical industry so they can have poor quality control... the flip-side to this is that you can buy SJW just about anywhere. If you're trying it for the first time, buy the best brand you can find. I have found that most brands work just fine, but some are definitely better than others. If you cheap out and buy the cheapest Wal-Mart brand for example, you're on your own. It might work, it might not. An extra dollar or two can make a big difference if you get a much better quality brand.
That does not mean you have to buy the most expensive brand out there either. If you try St. John's Wort and it doesn't work for you, at least try another brand before giving up. Some of the best brands on the market right now are used by scientists to study SJW and depression, and there have been a few very good scientific studies now. Perika and Kira are good brands to buy. Both have been used in scientific studies! I have no financial interest in either of these or the companies, but I've tried them both... they both work great and have consistent quality. The brands at your local drugstore can work just fine too. You can check out my message forum to see what other brands people have had success with. You don't need to spend a lot of money.
Some bottles of SJW cost as little as $7 for a 20 day supply! Compare that to prescription antidepressants which cost quite a bit more and often aren't any more effective. And St. John's Wort is natural, a plant that grows in the wild. But it still has to be processed properly and packed in air-tight containers that indicate the hypericin and hyperforin levels inside each capsule. Spent that extra few dollars and buy a quality brand, it's still MUCH cheaper than any prescription med.
When should I take it?
That's up to you. Some people experience fatigue as a side-effect, so if you take it at night you can sleep through it. You can take all three capsules at once, or spread the dosage out over breakfast, lunch and supper. I used to take it about an hour before bed and it has made a surprising difference in my energy level. Some people find that it initially makes them tired but that eventually fades. YMMV (your mileage may vary), although I think this is generally common in the prescription antidepressants world as well. If you're having problems, besides picking a quality brand, as per above, try taking it at a different time of day and see if that makes a difference.
What about other "stuff"?
You don't *really* need any other "stuff," though some vitamins can help. Some people have a vitamin deficiency that contributes to their depression. Along with my St. John's Wort, you could take a good multi B vitamin with B6 (to help you dream - sleep is important) and B12 (for stress). Don't overdo it on the B-vitamins as it's not healthy to have too much.
Today, to improve your overall energy level you should ensure that you get lots sunlight, fresh air and exercise. This of course sounds much easier than it is. :-) However, it really does make a difference.
Some people believe in taking other herbs such as Ginkgo Biloba, which is known to increase your blood flow and is thought to increase your energy. But it's not required.
Finally, it can be good to also take a good Omega-3 such as flax seed oil (or fish oil, or evening primrose oil), which is quite good for you in many different ways. You can research much of this stuff in other places, but you probably don't need to take them unless you have a specific requirement to do so. Just like everything, take any or all of the above in moderation -- just because a little does some good, doesn't mean that a whole lot will do any better. Don't overdo the vitamins or Ginkgo lest you be faced with other problems... oh, and too much vitamin B will make you pee a florescent yellow (no kidding), though really this is normal.

Welcome to Milton Keynes Rowing Club
Milton Keynes Rowing Club (MKRC) is based at Caldecotte Lake on the south side of the city, at the Water Sports Centre on Monellan Grove (map at the bottom of this page). We share access to the lake (which gives us around a 1 kilometre straight run) and a clubhouse with the Milton Keynes Sailing and Canoe Clubs.
We have an active Summer and Winter Programme of races, events and training schedules, weekends and mid-week, as well as social functions. This covers both water training (both rowing and sculling) and land based training (circuits and rowing machines).
Membership is varied and we encourage all levels of rowing and sculling ability, from experienced rowers to complete newcomers to the sport (for whom we run Learn to Row courses). We welcome people of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners through to experienced, competitive rowers. We also welcome supporters who perhaps may wish to take their sport a little less seriously or just help with the club's activities and have now introduced a Recreational Rowing squad.
If you do intend dropping in, please check our race schedule first, to make sure we will be there!
To find out more about the club, please do browse the site - to find directions to the club, please see the map at the bottom of the page

If someone is attacking you to kill you should you defend yourself? Would it be ethical to kill an intruder coming into your home? If not, how did the bushido samauri warriors justify it? We're they wrong?
I think yes, you may. Our religion has never stopped us from doing that.
you may stop an intruder forcefully. Our religion has never stopped us from doing that.
But for me, being Buddhist, the answer will not end there. Both (two above lines) questions are based on teaching of Ahimsa (not to injure). If it is so then it is important to know how we interpret this teaching. Following are some of the points we can consider-
These are the points in short based on which I said you can physically defend and you are not stopped by Buddhism from doing so. I don't want to say that you should (or even you can) kill. But you may defend. Dr. Ambedkar's discussion on Ahimsa is very enlightening in this regard. You can find it here -The Buddha and His Dhamma, Book 4, Part II, Section 3. It is a good read and the best part is it covers the whole debate in two pages. I also found this article interesting discussing the same point.
I think there are two question here with different answers
1. Should a Buddhist defend themselves physically
I would argue not. I believe that Buddhist teaches radical pacifism. The first precept explicitly states
Which points to non-violence. The Kakacupama Sutta: The Parable of the Saw in the Pali Canon goes further
So even if you are being rendered limb from limb, one should still not practice violence. In a more modern day setting, I read of Tibetan monks held and tortured by Chinese officials whose greatest concern was that they would lose the capacity for compassion towards their tormentors. The compassion response is still possible even under such extreme circumstances.
2. Can Buddhism be ever used to justify violence
Yes unfortunately it can. To give an example the Tibetan Kalachakra Tantra has got anti-Islamic passages in it which can be used as a justification for violence
Also some Japanese Zen Buddhists were supportive of the second world war which is closest to your samurai point. This article gives more detail on this point which I won't copy through here. One quote from Harada Daiun Sogaku is illustrative
So just to summarise the answer, Buddhism is vast, so it's unsurprising that some group, determined enough, can dig out something to justify violence. However the overwhelming majority of the texts and practices say precisely the opposite.
Yes. Buddhists can and sometimes even should defend themselves and people around them. However, consider the following:
Those are the just the guidlines for those who took Bodhisattva Vow. In general, one is trying not to think about one's own good, but try to perceive every situation in a wider perspective. One should always ask oneself - which action will benefit the more people for the longest possible time? Compassion and unconditional love to others is the key. Imagine a mother defending her only child - she loves the child and she really doesn't mind spoiling her own Karma - the only thing she wants is the safety and well-being of her beloved child. She will resort to violence if this is the only way to protect the child. Those who took Bodhisattva Vow aspire to develop such attitude towards all the sentient beings.
In Buddhism the idea is preserving and guarding the mind is more important then preserving the body because the body is viewed as impermanent therefor one should not cling to it. If one take up arms in defense of the body there by killing or harming another being, then the mind becomes impure and one can not reach enlightenment.
In ancient China, areas were just plain dangerous to be on account of banditry and so on. This fact even showed up in the Brahma Net Sutra and the Upasaka Precepts.
So the first part of the rule was to avoid getting into situation that called for defense.
Shoot, I have to unwrite what I just wrote-- as it turns out, the origins of the Shaolin (Chan) monks and Kung Fu are sort of lost to time. We don't really know if Buddhist martial arts came about because a monastery was a big institution and estate that eventually sprouted warrior monks, like ones in Japan did, or if monks needed to defend themselves in a way that was consistent with their values, i.e. unarmed combat and doing as little damage as possible to your enemy. Or maybe the martial arts were a side effect of austere exercises, like standing in horse stance for hours, which created very strong legs and made it literally hard to push monks around.
Anyhow, if one is looking for inspiration for how to defend oneself while remaining consistent with your value system-- then I think Judo and Aikido seem to be the best example of applying the Buddhist ideal of ahimsa to self defense (although I'm not sure that they are explicitly related to Buddhism anymore)
Oh this question has a part 2-- How do lay Buddhist soldiers justify their actions? Well it's easier than the monastic soldiers (they did exist!)-- the monastics took vows, the lay Buddhist soldiers did not**. Lay Buddhist soldiers were more likely practice a devotional Buddhism, where you seek this and after worldly support from celestial Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. In that system, if you are good enough, you are reborn in a Pureland where you don't have to made difficult decisions about if you should let a bandit walk all over you, if you should let the local Shogun draft you into an unfair and unjust battle, or other quandaries. Once one is in a Pure Land, you can practice more conventional morality and reach enlightenment.
Anyhow, even in modern times in things like an informal book club, you quickly learn that often times people are not participating in Buddhism because they want to follow the precepts-- they are there for other reasons, family tradition, for the benefits of meditation, and so on. So there isn't a strong cause to call hypocrisy if they on lay Buddhists who happen to work as Samurai. (Warrior monks is a different story altogether)
** Even when lay followers take the 5 precepts, they aren't expected to follow them with the rigor that monastics are expected to as the rules on sex make clear-- no sex at all for monks, no impropriety for lay followers. So I imagine a solider shouldn't kill in a socially unacceptable manner, while a monk is trying not to kill anything, or at least not be involved in socially unacceptable killing.
You could physically prevent the attacker from killing you, which would be a compassionate act since if they did kill you it would torment them. If in the act of trying to prevent the catastrophe they were to accidentally die, it would be unpleasant (for everyone) but not unwholesome.
Their karma would be light(attempt to cause harm) and you only accidentally killed them. If, however, someone sees an intruder in their home and as a result becomes frightened. And due to being scared decides to kill the intruder (from malice), the result would be quite terrible for everyone. Since if they are successful, torture ensues for them. And if you are successful, torture ensues for you instead.
Questions that appeal to extremes aren't really sensical for Buddhists. The answer to your first question is: it depends. This is because as a Buddhist, you should understand that absolutes aren't tenable and that you should walk the tightrope in the middle beyond extremes.
Yes. Self-defense is OK.
Protection of arahats (DN 16):
I'm not sure whether Buddha, The Gospel (Paul Carus, 1894) is based on canonical texts:
There are Zen stories in which the master will neither kill someone to defend himself (The Gates of Paradise), nor kill someone to defend his home (The Moon Cannot Be Stolen and The Thief Who Became a Disciple).
I beleive kalama sutta makes it clear that people don't have to follow any thing blindly
It not advised to folllow buddhist percepts blindly ,people have to think what action is better for common good and do it. If killing a terrorist can save 100 people stuck in a particular situation , I think that action is better for common good. ...
I think the story related to Angulimaan(later known as monk Ahinsak) could clear this doubt.
Buddha did not attacked him,neither defended himself.
Interesting thread. One person wrote the following:
"In Buddhism the idea is preserving and guarding the mind is more important then preserving the body because the body is viewed as impermanent therefor one should not cling to it. If one take up arms in defense of the body there by killing or harming another being, then the mind becomes impure and one can not reach enlightenment."
I wholeheartedly disagree with statement. First of all, there are thousands of Buddhists that have been to war. The assumption here is that none of them can attain enlightenment or that it is at some distant time. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have practiced Nichiren Buddhism for over 40 years and enlightenment can and is attainable in the here and now.
The second part of the statement says basically that the mind and body are separate. This is also not true. They are inseparable. I see this person may not have a clear understanding of true Buddhism.
On the subject of killing in self defense, I would have the agree with many others. The word I like to use here is "intent". Cause and effect is definitely based on this word. One's thoughts, words, and actions all create cause and their effects on our lives. However, the intent at which time these causes were created definitely impacts the severity, timing, and nature of the effects.
Those are just thoughts from someone that practices the Lotus Sutra. I truly believe the others are provisional. The Buddha spent 42 years of his life writing the sutras, and the last 8 writing just one...the Lotus Sutra. I think it is paramount importance to understand and practice it.
Thank you, everyone!

'Fame - The Musical' comes to the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center
Published: Monday, December 1, 2003 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 at 3:31 p.m.
As far as fashions go, the '80s didn/t have much to offer.
The sweat bands, zipper jackets, big hair and baggy styles left us all wishing we wouldn't have tried to be so fashionable when we look back at old pictures.
But right when you thought you were safe from the '80s, it's back again.
But this time, it's showing up at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center.
Get out your leg warmers and sweatbands, because "Fame -- The Musical" brings you back to the '80s.
The show is coming to the Civic Center for one performance at 7:30 p.m., Dec. 7.
The musical chronicles the four-year odyssey -- from audition to graduation -- of a group of talented and dedicated students at New York City's High School of the Performing Arts. Driven by the compulsion for fame, these deeply rendered characters from diverse backgrounds experience common triumphs and tragedies along their journey toward immortality.
Conceived and developed by David De Silva, "Fame" was originally released as a movie by MGM/ United Artists in 1980, earning four Academy Award nominations and taking home the Oscar for its musical score written by Michael Gore.
Running for six years on network television and in syndication, "Fame" also won several Emmy Awards, making "Fame" one of the most successful movie-turned-television series in history. Then, yet again, "Fame" thrilled audiences with a highly rated reality series on NBC in the summer of 2003.
"The reason 'Fame' is so popular with audiences is that it promotes the idea that success follows talent and dedication, but not without its share of highs and lows. Even with talent, there are victories and defeats, laughter and tears," explains Michael McFadden, co-founder and Artistic Producer of Phoenix Productions, the producer of the national tour.
"Fame -- The Musical" is a youthful, energetic and uplifting show that encourages all of us to pursue our dreams.
Tickets are $42.50, $37.50 and $32.50 and can be purchased at the Civic Center Box Office, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., at any TicketMaster outlet, charged by phone at (504) 522-5555, or ordered online at ticketmaster.com.

Skip to comments.Former President Bush Will Be On Leno's Show Tonight
Posted on 11/18/2010 6:08:28 PM PST by Retired Chemist
I thought some of you might be interested
He was keeping his head low until he had a book to push.
Thanks. Even though I don't watch TV, it's nice to know he's on and the public has a chance to see past the BS they have been fed for years.
Maybe he was busy actually writing the book, when he was 'keeping his head low'.
Now that it's available, it wouldn't make any sense to not 'push it'. Wouldn't you do the same?
Please, dear G*d, don't let him say anything else that defends TARP, amnesty, or socialized medicine.
The person is a liberal if they put his book in the fiction section.
God Bless Former President Bush. It takes a big pair of cajones to go on shows that ridiculed you, lied about you, and then called it 'comedy'...wouldn'tya say?
Thanks for the heads up!
Thank you for the reminder.
Yes, indeed, particularly if "pushing the book" was part of the contract for the book.
GOOD that you spotted this posting!
You think W will be on David Letterman's show anytime soon?
I increasingly think the critics of TARP should not be characterized as fiscally conservative.
It is one of the view government programs in history to:
1. Come to an end
2. Be paid back— quickly too
3. Be paid back with interest
If other government programs even met one of these awesome fiscally conservative criteria, it would be impressive. The fact that it does this while enacting one of the largest government expenditures in history is equally staggering.
I'm looking for a reason to blame Bush for something. Any ideas?
view = few
It sold out for weeks. I wouldnt mind driving from Hollywood to the Reagan Lib but only if I had a ticket.
He already did defend that crap to Rush, who did not challenge him.
I'm not.
Leno said after all the fun we've had at his expense, he's a stand-up guy for coming.
He will be off TV screens until his library opens after Thanksgiving...his media tour is about finished.
W is hysterical - laughing at himself as well!
I hope those days return; 2010 gave me hope we can do it again, some 30 years later.
I remember when Bush and Lindsey "I'm going to tell the bigots to shut up" Grahamnesty tried to legalize millions upon millions of new Democratic voters. Thank God we adverted that disaster.
Those who CHOOSE not to see what TARP was about, and any benefit from it, are certainly not about to start now. They can call themselves any thing they want, but I have my own word for them.
Why would President Bush try to defend Reagan's amnesty?
Really? You must have been very interested since you took the time to click on the link, scroll down to read the comments, actually took the time to hit "post reply" doing a cut and paste of another's comment and responding by typing words...ending the exercise by hitting "post"
Seems like a lot of time and work for someone not interested in the subject.
I heard that THE President was very, very funny on Leno.
GOOD to see this man of character back in the public eye where he can set the record straight (at least with those who care what that record is, eh?)
I'm not interested enough to watch Leno. Sorry if I was ambiguous.
It is awesome seeing and hearing OUR President again. The memories...the nostalgia...the sanity...American exceptionalism...the flight suit pics...sigh...
Love your combination of memories, Justa! :)
But seriously......anyone who doesn't miss having a President who loves this country dearly, and who believes that America is the most exceptional country in the world, is just plain nuts!
(Maybe they don't love America like we do, eh?)
I was until his "momma" decided to insert herself into the 2012 Republican primaries. He can sell his "memoirs" somewhere else. It probably has a lot of pictures.
Oh, come on. It's ridiculous to hold Dubya accountable for his mother's off the cuff and off the wall remark.
He's been nothing but gracious all his life and he said nothing of the kind beyond wishing that his brother could run.
My daughter could tell you not to blame her for what I say.
The 'a lot of pictures' remark tells me you never liked Bush and are probably a liberal troll.
So now the "test for conservatism" is whether or not one "liked Bush"?
I could give a **** about whether or not you think I'm a "liberal troll"... lol.. those words don't any hold any power anymore on FR, they're thrown around so much.
Some people like to stretch a long way to make Bush a villain......even if it's something as trivial as what his (now elderly) mother says.
I would guess that none of us have views in lockstep with our Moms (even if they're as cool as Barbara Bush)..........and if we do, it's kinda sad.
I know better, but when you use a 'Bush-is-dumb' bashing technique it's only logical to think you're not conservative. Conservatives know the man is not stupid. YOU know that President Bush is not stupid.
Hey, I'm venting right now... so sue me. Yeah, the son needs to tell mom to put a pipe in it...
I do KNOW he's not stupid, but it still pisses me off. The Bush women are so freakin' liberal...
And even if they are "freakin' liberal" this affects you how??
You do realize the context of my comment was in regards to Barb attacking Palin don't you? I think it affects conservatives when the former first lady gives ammunition to Palin's critics on the left and sends the signal that she is putting her weight behind an establishment type like Romney.
And I'm sorry, no matter what you think of the son, the parents were rather petty in how they treated the Reagans. They were never invited to the White House until after Bush lost the election to Clinton. They were not Reagan conservatives. In fact, Bush 41 wasn't a conservative at all. It was one of Reagan's biggest mistakes in making him his V.P. and they apparently are the gift that keeps on giving to conservatives. It's a pretty low blow that "Bar" took at Sarah when her own son wasn't considered "smart enough" to be President by the liberal elite.
It's funny because I am on record on FR as not being a Palin cheerleader; I actually liked Christie. But the more I see the media and the establishment of both parties attack her, the more I realize they see her as a threat (much like Daddy Bush when he saw Reagan as an "extremist" and called Reaganomics "voodoo economics")... so I hope she runs and I can't wait to vote for her in the primary.
That being said, I just don't see how anger at Barbara Bush for dissing Sarah Palin does us much good. I don't think she'll have one iota of influence in the 2012 election, and if we didn't call it to everyone's attention, you've gotta figure that since Larry King gets absolutely no audience, it would have had minimal negative effect at worst.
And if you're worrying about how the left will treat Sarah should she decide to run for President, do you think it can get any worse? They've already butchered her, and will certainly continue to do so.
I just can't get worked up about Barbara Bush. Sorry.
It was a good show...perhaps the *only* mass media event that didn't have the Left inserting anti-Bush jabs to "balance" the Bush positives in any given story.
W came across as humble, honest, and patriotic. Funny, too! Bush's story about what he said to the 50 year old woman while he was still back in his drinking days had Leno rolling on the floor laughing!
George W. Bush, is, in fact, at the very least, the second most conservative President in American history.....???(166)
Consider the source?
BTW, when did conservatives start liking Bush, much less liberal trolls?
Wouldn't watch and won't read the memoirs either. No more Bushes.
Won't be watching. GWB has split his britches with me, long ago. Of course, I don't watch Leno anyway.

"It was the third component of his mission where he may have run into some trouble and where Romney's campaign hopes to create an opening."
Glen Johnson had far stronger words for Perry at the Boston Globe's Political Intelligence blog. After leading off by saying Romney's seven years of campaign experience and the $47 million he personally has spent on those races are paying off, Johnson said Romney was the most composed and most focused.
"Romney, mounting his second White House bid, benefited in many ways from having been on such a grand stage before. Perry has two more debates this month to improve his answers, sharpen his attacks, and prove he is worthy of remaining considered the frontrunner, but another tentative performance in the next debate, on Monday night, could bring his campaign crashing back to Earth as fast as it launched into orbit."
The biggest divide between Romney and Perry became apparent: Social Security. Huffington Post writer Jon Ward said the two are now locked in a "cage match" over the issue.
"There was one thing and one thing only on the minds and lips of Mitt Romney's aides and advisers after Wednesday night's Republican presidential primary debate: Texas Gov. Rick Perry's position on Social Security.
"Perry doubled down during the debate on his past statements of Social Security as a "ponzi scheme" and a "monstrous lie." But Romney — the former Massachusetts governor — and his campaign looked past the rhetoric, calling that a distraction from the substance of Perry's position on the issue, which they said amounts to being in favor of ending the program.
"A top Perry aide refused, under repeated questions from The Huffington Post, to rule out the idea that Perry would favor dissolving altogether the 76-year-old program that pays out benefits to seniors."
Romney carved a very different line in the sand: "Our nominee has to be someone who isn't committed to abolishing Social Security, but who is committed to saving Social Security."
Chalian and Burij at PBS NewsHour called that "the most illustrative exchange that will likely help define the Perry/Romney divide going forward... ."
Ron Paul had an exchange with Perry regarding the Perry's early days as a Democrat and support of Hiliary Clinton's healthcare plan, to which Perry replied by inquiring about Paul's lack of support for Ronald Reagan.
Newt Gingrich may have been the most impressive among the rest of the candidates, as his points were articulate and intelligent — drawing considerable applause for, at one point, accusing the moderator of trying to provoke GOP infighting.
"You'd like to puff this up into some giant thing!" Gingrich said testily after Politico's John Harris asked a question regarding the difference between individual mandates in Obamacare and Romneycare.
Despite strong showings from many of the candidates on stage, it was clear that, in the words of Obradovich "none of them wrested the spotlight from Romney and Perry for long."
And though most agreed that Romney's showing was stronger, "the Texas governor got the most questions from questioners Brian Williams and John Harris, but he also absorbed the most punches from his competitors," according to Politico's Maggie Haberman. "When all the energy is concentrated in one direction, it underscores who is dominating the field — and last night it was Perry who was at the center of attention."
