Desperate help with Sublime pattern

I'm knitting the Nancy/Nadia cardigan from the Sublime #650 booklet.
*Is there a photo? Do the sleeves look like they have a diamond pattern in the photo? If so, does it look the same size as on the body of the sweater or is it different?
I don't know if it's me or what but the instructions do not continue in the diamond pattern.
*You have compared the back and sleeve patterns side by side and they are different? Could it be that the sleeve pattern is proportionately smaller, thus making the pattern seem different, but it will still create a diamond in the end?
If someone could help me out, I could send you a copy of the pattern for you to look at. The pattern repeats every 32 rows so it would take me forever to type it all out.
*Unless someone happens to have this booklet, you will likely need to find a way to post some of the pattern lines here to get further assistance.

Hi guys,
I have a question please.
How can I list product categories across any page of my website not just in /shop?
I've tried the shortcode but it's not working. It will only work on the page who is declared as the shop page in woocommerce settings.
Kind regards,

I recently faced a problem with my XP desktop PC.While i was working on one of the server application development(like Mochasoft for AS/400),my screen suddenly distorted and the operations stopped.(Not even mouse movement was detected).I had to restart my OS to rid the issue.But even after second reboot i faced similar problem.
What could be the possible reason?Is it virus or is it a hard disk problem.But now after i rebooted my PC its working fine.Though i wonder whether i'd face that problem again.
Please advise

This is a very nice, very well built barn style
house. The pigs just love them. They also work
great for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, whatever.
It is made so the top opens for easy clean out.
The dimensions of this house is 63"x37". The
cost for a house like this one is $500, for this
The house can be made to order in your choice
of colors and size. It is not a cheap built
house that is going to fall apart easy. I can
deliver, price will vary depending on where you
live. Houses are made to order, all hand crafted,
made by my husband. He can even make it life
size for the kids, it will be expensive, but it can
be done. He is great at what he does and puts
quality and effort in every project.
As far as shipping, this is a very large, and very heavy house. The post office and UPS will not deliver it. It must go by a large truck or freight. Shipping will not be cheap, depending where you live, it may cost more to ship than the actual house cost. Feel free to check uship.com for quotes before contacting me. I can also deliver it in the bed of my pick up truck, but again, delivery will also not be cheap. If you do not care about the cost and still want one, feel free to email me at email@example.com. I will need approximately 2 weeks after payment is received before it will be ready for pick-up or delivery.

"Let's do coffee"
So you've been told by Jim that Sally (who is a stranger to you) is really connected and it would be beneficial to know her, so you reach out to Sally who points you in Jeff's position, and you email Jeff casually suggesting that the two of you do coffee.
The request is seemingly innocuous, in fact, you've probably been to a dozen seminars where gurus tell you to grab coffee with as many people as possible. You've been told that it's the golden ticket to advance your business.
What the gurus advised you is true – getting coffee with an "influencer" can certainly advance your career. Your career. Yours. Your career. What a one-sided concept.
So offer to buy the coffee, right?
Let's say you're trying to be generous instead of selfish, so you offer to buy your new contact whatever coffee drink they want. That makes up for the lopsided relationship before it is ever even initiated, right?
My husband and I get these emails all the time, and we're fortunate enough to host a monthly networking event that we can funnel people into instead of falling into the "let's do coffee" trap on a daily basis, but most people aren't that lucky.
Most people are faced with a choice, a choice you're forcing them to make. Do they politely decline and crush your dreams of coffee talk, do they accept based on a pre-determined set of criteria, or do they blindly accept all invitations? And how many invitations do you think they get in a week? The more influential the person is, the more "let's do coffee" emails they get and are forced to sound rude for rejecting people.
What's the solution?
Consider this – each time you ask someone to coffee, they not only have to spend the time crafting a response, but they must take the time to look at their schedule and offer you times, then do the email dance of "where do we meet?" and usually, it's in the middle out of politeness. Then, when coffee day arrives, you're asking them to stop their work day, get in their car, drive to the mid-point, chat with you about your needs, drive back to work, and one to three hours later, you're asking them to try to find their focus at work again.
What a huge investment. For what? The chance to be your stepping stone?
There is a solution. Instead of making influencers the bad guy and insulting their value by putting them into a win-lose proposition, invite them to a networking event. Better yet, find out via their social networks what events they already attend and reach out to see if they'd be willing to connect there.
Meeting influencers where they gather is not only a more considerate way to connect, but you may actually win favor by mentioning you aren't looking to impose on their day, rather connect to see if there is any commonalities between you, given how many people have recommended that you two connect.
From now on, thou shalt not send out endless "let's do coffee" invites. You make people feel like the bad guy because they have a legitimate job to tend to, and meeting them where they gather is a much more considerate (and potentially memorable) move.

A grant of $120,000 over three years from the newly established PIMCO Foundation will help Orange County's Jewish Family Service (JFS) expand its services to about 45 elderly Holocaust survivors who reside locally.
The social services agency, which also provides counseling services, assists survivors in obtaining social services and benefits, says Mel Roth, JFS executive director.
The award is the first from the Newport Beach-based foundation and was recommended by an employee of PIMCO, the money management company bought out by Munich-based Allianz. The foundation's assets of $5 million all came from 20 PIMCO partners, who contributed a portion of their Allianz retention bonuses, says Mark Porterfield, the foundation director. They intend to make a similar contribution to a foundation endowment this year, he says.
While grant recipients reflect the interests of employees, Porterfield received a treat of his own. Roth provided a personal introduction to a survivor, who shares with schoolchildren her story of hiding in Holland with her parents.

I am curious what's going on with your husbands during this twin pregnancy? Being pregnant with twins is a lot to take in.
I am feeling disappointed that my husband kind of backs off and gives me less attention while pregnant. He is doing other things like cooking, entertaining our daughter, helping out...but as far as giving me special attention I get none and I go between being really sad and being mad about it. He also doesn't really touch my stomach much or do any of that.
His brother asked him if he was excited or looking forward to the twins and he was silent and his brother was like, "Geeze." I get it--we are overhwhelmed and scared, but it's really hard on the pregnant lady not seeing much excitement or anything.
Maybe I am extra hormonal, I just feel like crying lately and it doens't help that he doesn't seem to be that into it other than helping out a lot at home.

St Mirren 1-2 Inverness CT
- From the section Football
Inverness Caledonian Thistle moved off the bottom of the Scottish Premier League after claiming three valuable points against St Mirren in Paisley.
Andrew Shinnie benefited from a blunder in the home defence to fire in an 11th-minute opener.
A first-half injury-time header from Steven Thompson levelled the scores at the break before a superb Jonny Hayes second-half strike claimed the points.
Thompson's late header almost sneaked a draw, keeper Ryan Esson saving well.
The win edges Terry Butcher's side up to ninth, two points above Aberdeen who now prop up the table. St Mirren slip to seventh.
Thompson returned to the starting line-up for the hosts, with full-back David van Zanten dropping out following last week's 5-0 defeat at Celtic Park.
Inverness made just two changes following their defeat by Hearts - one was enforced with Roman Golobart replacing the injured Josh Meekings, while Billy McKay was preferred to Gregory Tade up front.
With just under 10 minutes played, Thompson had a shot from close range that cleared the bar when he really should have found the net.
One minute later, the Inverness account was opened when Hayes stole possession and squared to Shinnie on the edge of the St Mirren penalty area to blast home.
McKay had the ball in the back of the St Mirren net five minutes later, but referee Euan Norris had already blown for offside.
St Mirren struggled to keep the ball out of their own half for most of the opening half-hour, although Chris Hogg had to be on his toes to keep out a dangerous Jeroen Tesselaar cross.
As the interval approached, Ross Tokely should have done better with a long-range effort from outside the St Mirren penalty area that sailed wide, then teammate Greg Tansey's right-footed shot from 18 yards inched past the near-side post.
On the stroke of half-time, McKay hit the St Mirren side-netting after running out of steam on the goal-line and Kenny McLean's long-range shot could not find a way through a throng of Inverness jerseys.
However, seconds before the half-time whistle Thompson rose unchallenged at the back post to meet a Gary Teale corner and head into the net.
Shortly after the re-start, St Mirren keeper Craig Sampson had to dive low to his right hand side to stop a McKay header, then Kenny Gillet had to be on full alert to clear a Paul McGowan cross at the other end.
Inverness keeper Esson kept out a right-footed Thompson shot from 18 yards out, then Teale powered in a long-range free-kick from the right-hand side of the pitch with Esson at full-stretch to tip the ball over the bar.
Inverness regained the lead when Hayes curled in a superb shot on the turn from 20 yards out.
Moments later, McKay could have increased the advantage further when he ended up in a goalmouth scrap and swung a foot at the ball from a prone position, but his effort inched wide of the mark.
The home fans' claims for a penalty in the final minutes were waved away when Gillet appeared to handle the ball inside the Inverness penalty area.
Two minutes of added on time were not enough for the hosts to scrape an equaliser, despite a close-range header from Thompson that Esson managed to hold on the line to secure three precious points.

U.S. beats Canada in exhibition
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Samantha Fischer homered in her first international competition with the U.S. national softball team, and the Americans rolled to a 9-1 victory over Canada on Saturday night in an exhibition game recognizing the 40th anniversary of Title IX.
Fischer led off the fifth inning with her second home run for the U.S. team. The previous one came in a series of three warm-up games against the U.S. elite squad this month. Christi Orgeron added a two-run double later in the inning to make it 9-1 and end the game because of the run rule.
Jordan Taylor struck out six in three innings of work, allowing Canada's only run in the third, to get the win.
Both teams will play next week in the World Cup of Softball, with their first games on Thursday.

"South Dakota" South Dakota by tejanasueca
South Dakota Travel Guide: 1,387 reviews and 3,550 photos
I took a roadtrip from Denver to Keystone in South Dakota in June of 2004. Essentially, my dad and his wife had come all the way from Sweden to attend my graduation, and I wanted to make sure that they also got to see a new sight since they had travelled so far.
We drove up to Keystone a few days after my graduation. It took us about a day, but we took our time and made a few stops on the way. Keystone is kinda southwest in South Dakota, so coming from Denver it was not that far into the state.
We stayed at a nice hotel in downtown Keystone from wich we had walking distance to the "strip" of tourist stores and restaurants (maybe too many tourist shops for my taste). Every night (think at 9pm), there is a light show and the siging of the national anthem by Mt. Rushmore, so our first night we had just enough time to get some dinner and then attend this.
The first full day we were there we went up to Mt. Rushmore (to see it in daylight). We got lucky as it was a clear day (most other days it was rain and hard to get a clear view of the mountain). We listened to a little talk about how it was constructed, walked around in the area, and visited the shop (my dad and his wife are big into souvenires...I just kinda looked around).
After our visit at Mt. Rushmore, we drove around a little bit in the area...some cute little roads and stuff. We ended up finding a cute little restaurant (don't remember the name...sorry!), we're we eat some nice buffalo stew.
The second day, we drove through Custer State Park on our way to the Crazy Horse Memorial (see below). It was a pretty decent ride, nothing super spectacular. The most interesting thing was to see the landscape and the free roaming buffalo herd.
Crazy Horse was a very respected Native American leader. The Native American tribes consider the area around Custer and Keystone (20min apart) holy ground, and got somewhat offended when Mt. Rushmore was built on their holy land. In an effort to show that this is there land as well, the different tribes decided to build their own memorial of this great leader, and their memorial was to be WAY bigger than Mt. Rushmore. However, not surprisingly, they were not able to get federal funding for the project, and hence it is completely finance through private means. So, the project has been ongoing for (I think) over 50 years, and it it not close to being done. However, you can still go visit the area, where there is a really nice museum about the Native Americans in the area. The cost to enter the area is like $20, but most of that will go towards finishing the project.
In the picture, I'm standing next to the model for the project, with the actual mountain behind me.
To sum our trip up:
We stayed for three days in Keystone, but on the third day we really didn't know what to do, and ended up visiting some not so nice museums. Hence, two days is enough in this area, you might even be able to make it in one day if you hurry. The only two "must see activities" really is Mt. Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial.
- Pros:Two nice memorials that you can "check of your list to see"...
- Cons:Very touristy, and not so much else to do...
- In a nutshell:Worth stoping for a night if you're on a roadtrip...

Dow Finishes in Red Again
Stocks registered a third consecutive day of losses after manufacturing data combined with worries about Europe's debt-laden countries weighed on investor sentiment.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished down 25.05 points, or 0.2%, to 12356.21, its lowest close since April 19. General Electric GE -1.63 % led the blue-chip index lower on Tuesday, dropping 29 cents, or 1.5%, to $19.10, while American Express AXP 1.34 % fell 56 cents, or 1.1% to 50.56.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index fell 1.09 points, or 0.1%, to 1316.28, as industrial and consumer-discretionary stocks led the declines. Energy stocks rose 1.3%, fueled by Goldman Sachs boosting its crude-oil-price forecasts, which helped keep the broader drop in check.
The technology-oriented Nasdaq Composite fell 12.74 points, or 0.5%, to 2746.16.
The Dow has dropped six times in the past eight sessions, while the S&P 500's losses tacked onto its biggest single-day percentage and point decline on Monday in two months. Both indexes are down 2% in the past three trading days.
"We have very short-term memories," said Chip Cobb, senior vice president at Bryn Mawr Trust Asset Management. "There's no question people are starting to get nervous again. We're not seeing any real money flowing back into the market."
On the economic front, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond said manufacturing activity in the central Atlantic region is contracting this month after seven months of expansion. The service sector also slowed but remained in expansion.
The Richmond Fed's survey followed previous regional manufacturing surveys that also have exhibited slowing manufacturing activity.
Additionally, new-home sales increased in April from a month earlier, more than economists had anticipated. The enthusiasm was tempered, however, as sales still are down 23% from a year ago.
"We're stuck in a period where a lot of the economic data has been a little bit weaker as worries overseas have increased," said Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank.
"Unless there's something that reignites investor enthusiasm, investors will be focused on moderating risk," Mr. McCain said.
Worries about Europe's debt-laden countries also continued to linger. Moody's Investors Services warned Tuesday that a Greek debt restructuring could affect the credit ratings of other European governments and could lead to rating downgrades for Greek banks.
Russian search engine Yandex made swift trading gains during its debut on the Nasdaq Stock Market, rising 13.84, or 55%, to 38.84. The company's early trading performance, after pricing above its expected range Monday night, follows the increase seen last week in professional networking company LinkedIn.
AutoZone AZO 0.24 % rose 16.52, or 6%, to 293.30, as the auto-parts retailer's fiscal third-quarter earnings rose, aided by strong sales and margins. The company's quarterly profit and revenue exceeded analysts' expectations.
Medtronic MDT -0.96 % shed 38 cents, or 0.9%, to 40.88, after its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings fell. The medical-device maker disclosed challenges at its defibrillator business.
El Paso intends to separate its pipeline and midstream operations from its exploration and production groups as it plans to split into two publicly traded businesses by the end of the year. Separately, the company raised its full-year forecast, saying earnings to date have exceeded its expectations. Shares rose 1.24, or 6.5%, to 20.22.
GT Solar International's fiscal fourth-quarter profit soared 56%, easily topping analysts' expectations, as the solar-equipment manufacturer reported strong revenue growth and expanding margins. Shares gained 38 cents, or 3.3%, to 12.
Separately, Standard & Poor's said Alpha Natural Resources will replace Massey Energy in the S&P 500 index after the close of trading on June 1. Alpha Natural Resources is acquiring Massey Energy in a deal expected to be completed on or about that date, pending final approvals.

"Sam Wilson" & US Agent Clash as Spencer's "Captain America" Saga Escalates
Comic Books
I'd almost forgotten about ole' Foreskin Man. About a year ago, the hooded champion debuted. Written and created by Matthew Hess, president of an anti-circumcision organization, the comic stars "intactivist" Miles Hastwick, who fights super villains like Dr. Mutilator and, in the second issue, Monster Mohel:
This week the Anti-Defamation League issued a statement calling Monster Mohel "disrespectful and deeply offensive."
"The comic book portrays mohels — those specially trained to perform the traditional Jewish circumcision ceremony — as rapacious, bloodthirsty and bent on harming children," said Nancy J. Appel, ADL associate regional director, in a statement. "Some of the imagery calls to mind age-old anti-Semitic canards such as the blood libel, the accusation that Jews ritually murder Christian children. Another comic in the series also calls up more subtle anti-Jewish themes, such as when a character complains that the pro-circumcision lobby has 'all of the well-connected doctors and lawyers.'
"We would have hoped those backing the anti-circumcision effort in San Francisco would know better than to use this type anti-Semitic imagery to advance their cause. No matter what one's personal opinions of male circumcision, it is irresponsible to use stereotypical caricatures of religious Jews to promote the anti-circumcision agenda."
I'm a Jewish American. I'm not easily offended by cartoons.
What I am offended by is people cutting the genitals of non-consenting infants and children.
I encourage people to educate themselves about the many functions of the male prepuce ("foreskin"). It's there for a reason, and only its OWNER has any legitimate right to have it removed.
A good place to start: http://www.noharmm.org/anatomy.htm
Yeah, about Foreskin Man – I wish they'd cut it out….
People have a right to be offended, but they should exercise that knowing that others have an opposing opinion. Practice self censorship and look the other way, but let others make up their own minds.
Lol, Foreskin Man. What a fine idea for a comic. Never heard of it before, but will certainly track it down.
As we say in the UK "Only in America"
But then why anyone is still advocating genital mutilation – let's call it what it is – is beyond me.
Oh boy, we've got the zealots out here don't we?
Calling it "genital mutilation" as if it were the same as FGM is insane. Especially given the documented health benefits of circumcision in many cases. Example: http://www.circs.org/index.php/Library/Weiss
Send me all the comic books, cuz I want to read them! If some one says they were offended from this, I will tell them I don't care if you're offended because I consider circumcision rape, I am circumcised, I consider circumcision rape and mutilation. It was against my will, and ultimately I Speak that now. I wish it were legal for me to execute people.
Practicing sexual mutilation for profit seems pretty vile and should be open for satire.
I agree with Josh, Emm and Sirkowski. Nothing… I'll repeat: NOTHING that is simply drawn on a piece of paper can be as offensive as 99.999% of what organized religion has done and continues to do to innocent people.
Did I mention I really hate censorship? Especially censorship that is supposed to protect the delicate sensibilities of religious fanatics who themselves damage innocent lives every day? Maybe this character can team up with Mohammed and some Catholic priests and we can really piss some people off.
Foreskin Man:
Worst. Mega Man. Villain. Ever.
So..this book came out almost a YEAR ago and NOW these fools decide they have a problem? Come on, IT'S A COMIC BOOK. Stop trying to cut people's creativity short. Seriously, this is stupid. These guys have really thin skin and need to pull back and go away.
There is a difference between presenting a controversial position in a contentious debate and indulging in racist stereotypes. The ADL's objection is not that someone has taken a controversial position but that someone is using racist stereotypes. The racism is far more deliberate and than three poorly chosen words on the Flashpoint map
I'm with Ian Thal on this one (minus it not being racism but more anti-semitism, as Jews are not a race…). Mohels are not butchers by any means. And although religion has it's faults, I don't think this is the type of battle that is necessary. As progressive as I am, I don't feel that male circumcision should be banned per se.
There are various reasons why some people oppose circumcision. Most of this is based on ignorant "political correctness" or muddled thinking, where the health and medical benefits exceed the risks by many orders of magnitude (see http://www.circinfo.net and references published in the medical literature that are cited therein). In the USA conservative Christian, Jewish and Muslim religious people support infant or childhood male circumcision. But some European Christians don't, and of course the anti-Semites are opposed, seeing this as an easy target. Gay "intactivists" include those who enjoy "docking", an unsafe sexual practice that involves the foreskin. Some honesty regarding the real reason these individuals have for trying to outlaw childhood male circumcision would be appreciated.
Prof, the 2nd to the last sentence really wasn't needed.
Dark Leviathan: I regard antisemitism a form of racism not because I believe in race as a biological category (though Jews do make up a distinct ethnic group) but because anti-Semites frequently do regard Jews as not merely a biologically distinct race, but sometimes even biologically distinct from humanity: this is distinct from anti-Judaism, in which the hostility is purely in terms of religious doctrine. The keyword is the name of the ideology: anti-Semites are hostile to Jews without regard to whether they are religiously devout or not.
Anyway, Tablet posted a good article on this story: http://www.tabletmag.com/scroll/69224/when-anti-circumcision-turns-anti-semitic/
I wonder if the folks at the ADL have paused to think that maybe the Mohel is being portrayed as monstrous not because he's jewish, but because he's about to chop the end of a babys penis off without any medical indication, without anaesthetic, as a ritual sacrifice to his blood god. To me, that seems monstrous, and is fair game to a satirist….
The cartoon stereotypes circumcisors, not Jews. The Jewish mother, Rachel, is a sympathetic character. Dr Mutilator (Edric Griswold) in Foreskin Man #1 is more monstrous than the mohel.
There is one good reason people opppose infant circumcision – it's not their penis to go curring parts off of.
If "the health and medical benefits exceed the risks by many orders of magnitude, why do the intact men of Scandianavia, Japan, and New Zealand (to mention just a few) enjoy such good health? The penile cancer rate in Denmark, for example, is much lower than the USA. In the 1950s, Australia and New Zealand circumcised babieswith the same enthursiasm as the USA. They gave it up, and in New Zealand it's now hard to find a doctor willing to do it, yet neither courntry is overrun by epidemics of any of the maladies it was supposed to be good against.
Perhaps Foreskin Man #3 will satirise university academics who misuse statistics – and their position – to promote unnecessary and unethical surgery?
Lloyd Schofield, proposer of the San Francisco ballot, has disavowed the Foreskin Man comic written by Matthew Hess in San Diego. What more can he do? It is, as they say, a free country.
We don't have any tolerance for people who inappropriately touch the genitals of a child but we are expected to show tolerance when a person (whether it be a doctor or a Mohel) makes a career out of permanently mutilating the genitals of a child for no medical reason. That cartoon is not anti-Semitic and does not express hate toward the entire Jewish people, only toward this hideous crime against children. I can't tell you how many cartoons I've seen of catholic priests and even the pope portrayed in a negative light. The cartoon is an artistic expression of a genital mutilation VICTIM and I think it is down right ridiculous that people are trying to pin the artist or his art as anti-Semitic. The hero in the cartoon is in the artists likeness and so is the baby who is the victim. The very first episode portrays an evil doctor, are we to imply that he also hates all doctors? Wake up people this is just a ploy to distract everyone from really talking about the bill and the issues it raises. READ the bill, it is designed to protect all children. If it left out Jewish boys, THEN it might be considered anti-Semitic.
The notion that the portrayal in the comic is only anti-circumsisers and not antisemitic is hollow in light of the fact that the techniques used to make the mohel appear evil and grotesque mimic faithfully the techniques used in antisemitic cartooncraft for centuries – from Medieval imagery to Nazi-era caricatures to present-day portrayals in Arab media. Tell me that's not a "Jewish nose" in the image on this page.
As for the practice of male infant circumcision – it is a completely benign practice with no negative medical consequences – not physiological, not physical, not emotional. I'd accept debate over whether there are significant medical benefits to the practice. But one thing it is not is harmful. I challenge you to find any legitimate report of someone suffereing in consequence of male infant circumcision. There is no evidence whatsoever of decreased sensual pleasure or sexual enjoyment or desire due to the practice. It has nothing even remotely in common with Female Genital Mutilation practiced in some regions of the world.
And as for the notion that the comic – and the movement – "does not express hate toward the entire Jewish people, only toward this hideous crime against children": Well – the practice is nearly 100% universal among Jews – Jews of all stripes and colors, all political tendencies, and all opinions regarding world affairs – so there you have it. (And the notion that circumsision is a "hideous crime against children" belies a thorough lack of understanding of the practice – see above paragraph.)
I was so traumatized by my circumcision that I didn't
walk for a year
I am not Jewish, I am not a doctor, I am not christian. However I am very upset about this comic. I believe in freedom of speech, but this comic is just disgusting and the way it targets the issue here is not the best approach. Cutting the foreskin when the child is a baby makes it cleaner for them(my brother was not circumcised and he had a hard time cleaning his penis, which sometimes caused him to carry parasites in there. Here in the USA is no big deal because we have clean water and clean everything, be born in a country where you don't and you will learn why circumcision may be good for a baby boy. It's not just a stupid ritual. Also if it is performed when they boy is a baby(1 month max) he will not remember or be traumatized by it. Like me there are many out there to whom circumcision is not just a stupid ritual, but it can make a healthy boy. I know many men and women who agree with me, circumcised and not circumcised.
The comic parody, Smegna Man Gets Circumcised, (published at Smegmaman.com) is a lot funnier; has a great plot; and passes along sound information about the medical and cosmetic benefits of the procedure– and, in the end, the villains meet a very appropriate end.
Ed Margolis
To anyone who would defend this comic with earnest belief in their cause:
I commend your willingness to defend your principles. Nevertheless, consider an analogy. How would you feel if a pundit of President Obama's domestic policy characterized him with physical profiles from a 20th century KKK cartoon, with an intellectual characterization that was similarly vulgar. Would you not be sympathetic to those American's who were horrified to see shocking and hurtful images of the past justified by a reflex denial steeped in their fervent belief in the humanity of their cause?
Are the creators of this comic and so prosaic that they are incapable of presenting their passionate arguments without grotesque depictions that would have made Joseph Goebbels proud? Regardless of our constitutional freedoms, is this something you want to honor and promote?!
Whatever your opinion of circumcision, these characters are hideously racist.
Whatever your take on the health benefits or risks, these characters are hideously racist.
Whatever your threshold is for freedom of speech, these characters are hideously racist.
Whatever your background, these characters are hideously racist.
Clearly, there are better means to stand up for what you believe in without having to turn a blind eye towards blatant bigotry?

Eubank vs Sugarboy Malinga
Eubank:2,3,4,5(10-8 ),7,8,9,10,12
round 1 even
Commentary had Eubank winning comfortably.
Good technical fight, that even moreso than the first Watson bout, was often dominated by quality defensive work.Neither fighter landed many powershots at all, with Eubank consistently getting the better of the jabbing.This ended up banking him close round after close round for me, resulting in a lopsided card despite the competitiveness of the individual rounds.
This is a recurring theme in most of Eubank's controversial fights for me.His do just enough mentality and the often notably inferior talent of his opponents, resulting in many close hard to score rounds.I tended to think he usually did have an often consistent, if slim edge in these kind of bouts,but i can see why others thought different.
Here he won very clearly though imo.Certainly one of his better "just enough" efforts, which would have been a robbery had he lost imo.
Malinga was a nice fighter at this stage.Good compact, if somewhat mechanical technician, with tidy defence and a nice long jab.Just not consistent or active enough.His later loss to Jones and success against Benn, reid etc actually came well past his peak.

What are you guys doing about this? We are definately going to get one. I know DD will be all over it and I want to make sure she is safe also. We plan to get a real tree. I think a fake tree may be better so she could not pull off the needles but a real one is more economical (long story short- we already have a fake one in storage in the states so we do not want to buy another one for just 3 years- we are in the military in Germany). I asked my mother how I was around the tree when I was little (we had a real one) and she thought I was fine. So what is everyone doing....I need ideas how to "childproof" my tree.
Christmas tree???
Sarah-�� �a green, APing SAHM�mom to�2 boys ('08&'10)
Genital Integrity IS a human right.
We've had a real tree every year and I have never done anything differently than before we had kids. I simply firmly enforced the rule "no touch". A few timeouts later and DD had the point. We don't have too many very firm no's in the house, so when we have one... the kids know we mean business.
Cheryl - mom to Chloe (3.5) and Gavin (2)
We have an artificial tree. I think this year we will forgo the glass ball ornamets because DS is super curious and has very sticky hands! I think he will be fine, although I'm sure we'll have to redirect
Mommy to Adam born March 2008 and Lily born February 2010
we had a real tree last year and all she would do is shake the tree to hear it jingle. She did eat a few needles last year but i wasn't worried because i looked in to it and they are full of vit C and are prefectly edible
Abby born March 5 2008 9lbs 10ounces
We have an artificial and I am not going to lie.......I am afraid to put it up. She will love it, but how many times a day will I have to say no?
Chloe Lynn 3/6/2008 and Rylie Elizabeth 5/5/2011
Our couch is on an angle in the corner of the lving room, so we are getting a real tree (I can just cut it down from behind my house) and we'll pull out the couch a bit so it can fit in the corner behind it and be difficult to reach. We are also only going to have lights and Salvation Army ornaments on it.
Genevieve Kate is here! Born at home on Dec 14th.
We have finally decided to get a real tree with unbreakable ornaments (we have a bunch from previous years since our hyperactive boxer likes to pull them down, so we forgo the glass ones a long time ago).
But I'll be putting the tree inside a playpen.
Julia, mom to twins Dennis & Alexa, 3/5/08
Glad to see we're not the only ones dealing with this issue! I'm not so much worried about the tree falling, but more about the ornaments constantly being taken off. Time outs, discipline, redirecting, etc. all have very little effect on our curious twins...before long, they are right back at it. At this point, it's easier to just eliminate situations that are going to be a constant struggle. We're thinking a small tree on top of a high piece of furniture may be it for us this year!
Proud mom of identical twin boys born 3/6/08 (at 30 weeks)
My mom used to put our tree in the playpen when I was little to keep me out of it. I guess I can see where my oldest gets her personality.
My older daughter is a handful (strong willed) so what we did was decorate the top half and put a few kid friendly toys at the bottom. It would have drove me absolutely batty having to tell her no as many times as I would have.
My Marchie is pretty well behaved. I think that she'd be just fine if I had regular decorations but I only have the unbreakable kind anyway so I guess it's a non-issue.
We get a real tree each year. Two years ago my older DD was 18 months at Christmas time and didn't bother it at all. She loved to point at the ornaments and look at everything but I just keep saying, "No touch" and she was fine. Last Christmas she was 2.5 and did great then too. My Marchie was a really late crawler so she wasn't even mobile last year. Here's to hoping my Marchie will be as good as my older DD!

More from PST Latest USMNT news | Three things we learned | Premier League transfer rumors
Ronaldo shows no sign of injury while hanging with Conor McGregor
Cristiano Ronaldo may not be ready for the UEFA Super Cup, but he's no longer limping around.
To explore the Real Madrid superstar's Instagram is to see Ronaldo, sometimes clothed, hanging out with celebrities.
In the last couple weeks we've seen him with Eva Longoria, Jennifer Lopez, and now his "bro" Conor McGregor.
[ MORE: Who wins the League of Hate? ]
Wait, what?
Yeah, Ronaldo is friends with the MMA star, and showed no ill form (and no brace of any kind) in several posed photos with McGregor.
Although admittedly, McGregor's IG game is a bit better: The Irish fighter posted a photo of himself sunning in his briefs with the caption, "I'm gonna get him on the Forbes list by next year. But I'm gonna get him on the tan by next week."
Good luck with both, bro.
Bruce pens letter to Hull fans: "Desperately wanted to make it work"
Photo by Nigel Roddis/Getty Images
Many Hull City fans didn't want Steve Bruce to leave the club, and this open letter shows why.
After leaving the club by "mutual consent" on Friday — it was first widely reported that he quit — fans protested at Hull's game on Monday.
[ MORE: Who wins the League of Hate? ]
Bruce may've had his problems with Hull's ownership, but he certainly got his supporters' feelings right down to the core.
My biggest regret is having to walk away but it was a decision I had to make for the sake of the club. The last 12 months have been very tough and it felt like the right step for the club to move forward in a different direction and with someone else in charge.
I desperately wanted to make it work this summer and be a Premier League manager again but, sadly, it wasn't to be. Nevertheless, I've left Hull City with some fantastic memories that I'll always cherish, including just eight weeks ago in the Championship play-off final at Wembley.
Class from the longtime boss, and we imagine he'll have a job very soon if he wants it.
Report: Everton to activate release clause of Stoke's Arnautovic
Photo by Dave Thompson/Getty Images
Everton is going to activate Marko Arnautovic's $16 million release clause to bring the Stoke City striker to Goodison Park, according to a report out of Austria.
Stoke had been trying to sign Arnautovic to a contract extension, but the player was reportedly prepared to play out the final year of his deal.
[ MORE: Who wins the League of Hate? ]
The huge 27-year-old Austrian has been with Stoke since 2013, and broke through with 11 Premier League goals last season.
Arnautovic would give Everton support behind Romelu Lukaku, and insurance in case the Toffees do wind up selling their Belgian striker. Everton also has Arouna Kone as a potential target forward, but Oumar Niasse is expecting to leave after less than a year at Goodison Park.
Chelsea wins the League… of Hate; Bournemouth, Leicester not hated
Photo by Clive Rose/Getty Images
A family of English newspapers conducted its annual survey of which teams are the most hated in the Premier League, and there's a new champion.
Manchester United has dropped to second in the table to Chelsea in what the Manchester Evening News called the "League of Hate".
[ MORE: Rooney's England position not set ]
According to the MEN, 10,000 fans were quizzed on their love and hate:
A national survey asked fans of each top flight club which sides they hate, and which they love, and the west London club came out as the most disliked club overall.
United, who won the dubious accolade last year, have been revealed to be the next most reviled side.
It's no surprise that the league's more successful sides sit atop the table while newer PL clubs like Bournemouth and Burnley are not reviled. That said, Leicester's dream story has them 19th. How much more success do they need to have before shooting up the hate table?
Here's the Top Five, and all results:
1) Chelsea
2) Manchester United
3) Liverpool
4) Manchester City
5) Arsenal

Excellent Story Supported by Superb Illustrations
As the mother of 5 young boys, I immediately fell in love with this book! Cleverly written from the viewpoint of a small boy, this book incorporates plenty of piratey talk. Although it's hard to imagine that the story could be improved upon, David Shannon did just that with his humorous illustrations. (Dad trapped under the beach umbrella, Jeremy Jacob squashed in amoung sleeping pirates, with a cat's tail pressed against one cheek and a snoring pirate against the other.) This is a book my children want read over and over, and one I love to read every time they ask!

Fin End Table by BDI
designed by Cristian Wicha
At A Glance:
For design inspiration, Cristian Wicha turned to one of his passions - surfing. The result is BDI's most unique side table, shaped like the fin of a surfboard. The Fin End Table's shape creates a stable platform that allows for the lower shelf to be either revealed or hidden, depending on your preference. This dynamic end table is sure to become a conversation piece in any setting.
What's To Like:
It's multidimensional. Choose to portray it as a solid block of a table with a single glass surface, and you can. Turn the open side to the front and viola, there's another shelf with lots of space! Oh, the fun you can have re-arranging the entire look of your living room.
What's Not to Like:
If you have very active small children, you may not appreciate the glass top for long. A better choice than some because of its tempered glass, the Fin End Table is still a glass table with pointy corners.
The Bottom Line:
Available in Espresso Stained Oak and Natural Walnut, the Fin End Table brings surf and sun to any contemporary living space, with a rounded triangular shape and contrasting materials.
Tempered glass, wood, and steel.
Overall Dimensions: 22" h x 25" w x 29.5" d
Lower Shelf Height: 13"
Glass Thickness: 1/2"
The Fin End Table goes perfectly with its counterpart, the Fin Coffee Table.
The BDI Fin End Table is also known by the following manufacturer Item Number: 1110.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a severe, disabling systemic autoimmune disease characterized by the production of autoantibodies. The clinical symptoms and immunologic manifestations of SLE are diverse. African-Americans have a 3 fold increased incidence of SLE, develop SLE at an earlier age, and have increased morbidity and mortality compared with Caucasians. Our central study hypothesis is that there are specific genetic factors that interact with environmental exposures leading to the development of SLE. The African-American Gullah population lives on the Sea Islands of South Carolina and Georgia. They are unique in their genetic homogeneity with minimal Caucasian admixture, making them an ideal cohort to address questions of environmental and genetic influence on development and progression of SLE.

Many studies have found text messaging to be a promising medium for healthcare delivery. However, since the studies that successfully used text messages for encouraging physical activity were all short term (10 days to 3 weeks) and conducted with a small sample (n≤15), we do not know if people will not be motivated by these technologies after the novelty effect dies. In this paper, we present the results from a study conducted for a longer term (3 months) with a larger sample size (n=28) to discover if text messages are effective for encouraging physical activity once the novelty effect of the technology wears off. We chose a population of young adults (age 18-24) as they are one of the heaviest users of text messages. Measures of analysis included number of steps, message ratings, level of motivation and interviews. Our findings suggest that text messages are a good way for encouraging physical activity in young adults, even after the novelty effect wears off.

[The prices listed above may change at any time and in some cases do not include shipping.]
I took Ocella (generic Yasmin) from the ages of 19-23. Before that I took Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo from the ages of 16-19. I only was put on the Yasmin because when I tried to quit Ortho I broke out terribly (only ever had mild acne). What they don't tell you is that when you go OFF birth control pills, your acne often gets MUCH worse than it ever was, because it does such unnatural things to your hormones. Google around and look at the acne after the pill thread on here, you will find a million horror stories of women who took the pill, went off, then developed severe cystic acne.
After about 4 years on Yasmin I noticed that I couldn't think straight, always had debilitating headaches, and my muscles were weak even though I worked out a lot. My doctor said that the Yasmin was causing my migraines, and that developing migraines while on the Pill meant I was at an increased risk of having a stroke.
Stopping it was hell. I had no idea what I was getting into. I lost at least 1/3 of my hair and had a receding hairline. My hair started growing in gray in places. I had uncontrollable acne that did not respond to BP or extreme elimination diets and supplements. It took about 6 months before my body started feeling normal-ish again and a year before I tamed the acne with Atralin (a brand of tretonin).
Don't mess with this stuff, or any pill. Try the copper IUD or some other non hormonal method if you need BC. It is just not worth the risk to your body and skin.
Just stick with it!!
I have suffered from terrible acne over my t-zone area from around the age of 15 (now 22) and have used dianette on/off for years. Over christmas my acne flared up again, probably worse than ever so decided to go on dianette again. However, I had recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism so was advised to try yasmin. The first three months were terrible in fact my acne got a lot worse, but as soon as i started month 4 things very quickly began to improve and by month five my skin is basically crystal clear soo much clearer than with dianette!! So if you can just make it past the first 3 months you will begin to see signs of improvement!!
Took this Birthcontrol for probably close to 2 years. I would say it reduced my acne to some degree, but nothing that I was ever super impressed with. I stopped taking this birth control though. It actually made me quite sick. Severe mood sings, horrible chest pains, continuous head aches etc.... All of which went away after stopping this medication. I also gained weight on this.
After trying and failing to treat my acne with Zineryt and Tetracycline, both which severely dried my skin out, it was suggested that I go on the pill to treat my acne. My acne was not cystic, but instead consisted of very small whiteheads that covered my entire face and back, leaving my skin bumpy, red and greasy.
There was no immediate difference, but in 6 months I noticed a drastic improvement and within a year 90% of my acne had gone. Yes it took a year, but all the redness, bumps and whiteheads went, leaving only some scars and slight red pigmentation which it fading. I never picked my spots anyway so I think that also reduced the amount of scars 'left over'.
I was 18 when I went on Yasmin, and I am now 20 and have been taking it for 2 and a half years. Some people may argue that I went on it when I reaching the end of puberty anyway, but my sister went on it at 16 for medical reasons and it cleared up her acne as well. When she went off it at 18, her acne returned (although not as severely) so I would definitely recommend it, especially if you are a teenager or in your early twenties.
I continue even now with washing my face with Johnson's 'Clean and clear' blackhead cleaning scrub, and rub sudacrem on my 'problem areas', so my forehead and around my nose. I am planning on taking it for at least 2 more years, till I am sure that puberty has finished as I think my acne was probably hormonal. I started getting acne when I was 14, and it took 4 years before someone suggested the pill as a treatment and I am so glad it tried it. Yes it takes time, but my acne hasn't returned since so that proves to me Yasmin is still working.
One thing I will mention is yes- Yasmin did trigger some mood swings (as in occasionally made me feel wayy more emotional) and yes I did put on weight- about half a stone. However I did put on weight straight to my boobs and butt so I was lucky in that respect but I think this varies on the person! For me, all this was worth going through if my skin improved, which it did.
This totally works after a few months but again, it is not a permanent solution
Try it, but don't expect a miracle. Stop if you start gaining weight or your skin gets worse (with Dr.'s approval, I guess.) Don't believe it when anyone tells you the bp doesn't make acne worse.
This is a wonder pill for me! You have to at least give it 3-5 months to see the difference. For the first 3 months I had big cystic acnes on my nose that wont go away! I had them injected with a cortisone shot so that they'd go flat and they did! At the start of 4th month I saw a huge difference. I mean there were still scars from the previous pimples but there were no acne anymore. I can live with the scars since I can always cover them with concealer and buy a scar removal topical. :)
I have been on and off the pill for about 15 years. I have been getting acne for the last 3 years, which is odd for my age (30's) so my doctor prescribed Yasmin since I take the bcp anyway. I just finished the second month and I see no improvement yet. I am willing to give another few months since I noticed that a few people on here said they didn't notice a difference until about 4-6 months. Hopefully I will see a difference. Other than that, I can't complain, no side effects.
STICK AT IT FOR A FEW MONTHS! I saw no improvement at all in the first few months, and then suddenly all the side effects disappeared, I stopped getting new spots, and now have completely clear skin.
I had used BP for almost 6 months beforehand (exactly as instructed) and saw no improvement, just consistently oily, flaky skin.
For me, this was the wonder drug.
Background info: I've had acne since I was 8 years old, plus irregular periods, a bit of excess hair etc, so there was probably a hormonal issue that Yasmin fixed. If you're similar, Yasmin could help you :)
It worked good for what it was supposed to do (prevent pregnancy and control irregularly, heavy menstrual cycle) but it didn't work wonders for acne or anything. This and no other BC has ever had any effect on my acne 1 way or another. Had very occasional spotting with this. While on it, developed a gallbladder polyp, which may or may not have been related since it is said to have a link to gallbladder diseases.
