More examples of fear mongering from the left. Let's mix that with threats of violence and violence perpetrated on people that were there and what do we see? Fine examples of thuggery promoted by the current Democratic administration at the Federal level. Apparently the party of the "tolerant" are only that if it is done their way. Not surprised though are we???

Amazing how blind people can be when they are as ignorant as you! Sure there is nothing in any union contract about seniority. Thanks for putting your lies in writing.
#51 Dec 14, 2012
Are you seriously going to suggest that tearchers are teaching conservative principals in the class. You even more ignorant than I thought.
I responded to several of your post and you skipped my response. I can only assume that you agree with what I posted, that your facts are full of crap and you are an idiot for calling people who don't pay their fair share to the union freeloaders but those who don't pay federal taxes are not.
#52 Dec 14, 2012
Never said a thing about there not being seniority clauses in contracts. Seniority is not about promotions. Job classification changes yes. Promotions, no.
In a factory setting moving from one labor classification to another is not considered promotion even when into a higher pay grade. Even by management. From a labor classification to a management position is a different story.
And seniority was put in place to disallow management from preferential treatment. I know of no one that ever moved into another labor classification through the bidding process without a period of qualification period.
Now you can nitpick about it all you want.
#53 Dec 14, 2012
Assume all you want as for as long as I have known you that's what you do best. Facts are irrelevant to you.
As long as you want to call someone who gets the full representation benefits without paying for it equally as fair that speaks volumes. The fast majority of people in this country pay Federal taxes. To suggest otherwise is ludicrous. Federal income taxes is an entirely different issue. Try reading up on the purpose for [Federal] income taxes. But then you would make the assumptions to suit you anyway.
#54 Dec 14, 2012
Your a compete moron if your going to suggest that the vast majority of people pay taxes. Nearly half pay no federal income taxes and that is a fact.
#55 Dec 14, 2012
Federal taxes and Federal income taxes are two separate issues. People's being able to afford to eat, be housed and keep the utilities going is far more important than them not paying Federal Income Taxes.
So while we are talking about those who don't pay Federal Income Taxes don't forget to include our military troops, seniors who had worked all their lives paying Federal Income taxes and don't now have the retirement income sufficient enough to meet the income requirement, along with the millionaires retired that have had accountants set them up so their "income" isn't sufficient AND those millionaires and even billionaires that their entire income is stashed in off-shore accounts.
SERIOUSLY, if you want to argue something try using verifiable information instead of your biased only personal opinion.
#56 Dec 14, 2012
I'm not even going to wait to read your flippant idiotic retort to my last rebuttal. Try reading for a change before you make such rash ignoramus statements.
in part; 4) Many low-income workers dont pay federal income taxes thanks, in part, to a series of tax cuts endorsed by Republicans over the years. The graph below from the Tax Policy Center shows why so many workers who do earn income dont have to pay the income tax. Theyre exempt under various provisions of the tax code.
For instance, most (though not all) elderly households are excluded from paying taxes on their Social Security benefits. And low-income workers with children can qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Child Tax Credit. As Keith Hennessey explains, the latter was a major GOP initiative during the 1990s and 2000s, and conservatives used to tout them as vital poverty-reduction measures:
God you people are dangerous to this country.
#57 Dec 14, 2012
So lets have some more fun with this. Romney and Ryan, and the Republican Party, have been bashing Obama and Democrats for their (GOP) own policies;
"Meanwhile, Jim Antle at the conservative site The Daily Caller makes another salient point: The elimination of taxes on the very poor has been GOP policy starting with Reagan, and continuing through Bush:
When Ronald Reagan signed into law the Tax Reform Act of 1986, he boasted,Millions of the working poor will be dropped from the tax rolls altogether, and families will get a long-overdue break with lower rates and an almost doubled personal exemption.
Both the initial Reagan tax cuts of 1981 and indexing income taxes to inflation in 1985 had a similar effect.
In the 1990s, the Republican-controlled Gingrich Congress passed a $500 per child tax credit that also wiped out the income tax liability of many low- to moderate-income households.
Fully 93 percent of the tax relief in our bill goes to taxpayers with annual incomes under $100,000, 76 percent goes to taxpayers with incomes under $75,000, then-House Ways and Means Committe Chairman Bill Archer, a Texas Republican, said at the time.If ever there was a tax plan for Americas forgotten middle class, this is it."
So lets not let it lay there:
Here's How 35,000 Of America's Wealthiest Households Got Off Tax-Free
More than 35,000 of American households who make over $200,000 annually, paid no income tax to the federal government in 2009, according to a new study by the IRS.
For 2009, of the 3,975,288 tax returns with expanded income of $200,000 or more, 35,061 (0.882
percent) had no U.S. income tax liability; and 19,551 (0.492 percent) had no worldwide income tax liability."
So it looks like not only the poor, the elderly, the disabled, etc. are not "patriotic" but also 35,000 of the countries wealthiest families are not [patriotic] because they don't pay Federal Income Tax.

#59 Dec 14, 2012
You are a fool! You said your leaving, know go!! And stop using my name!! Stop spreading your stupidity, nobody wants it other than your multiple personalities.
#60 Dec 14, 2012
So you think that if we are going to extend tax cuts that we should only extend those cuts to those who pay the least, shifting a larger burden on those who already pay more than their fair share? The fact that you don't see the problem with this simply shows you don't really care about the people paying your bills as long as they keep paying them.
#61 Dec 14, 2012
That's all you've got to come back with after being proven so completely wrong? No more should be expected from you.
More than their fair share? Really? I don't suppose it even enters that lump of tissue you call a brain that the "those who already pay more than their fair share" gain more than the rest from what the rest pay for. ALL citizens pay for the legislative system that sets the laws for contracts and the court system that enforces those contracts. For the road and infrastructure system that business uses to make their profits. For the ENTIRE system that some make millions and even billions from that others who don't pay into also?
And lets not forget the subsidies and grants that all the citizens taxes pay for that only add to the millions to billions in profits of companies that don't need the subsidies and grants in the first place.
You are so delusional to believe those that make the most money have done it all on their own without any assistance from anyone else.
Progressive taxation is no new notion:
The Burden of Taxation;
"Taxes should be proportioned to what may be annually spared by the individual." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1784. FE 4:15, Papers 7:557
Fairness and Uniformity of Taxation:
"Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1785. ME 19:18, Papers 8:682
Get over feeling those who make the most are picked on by paying in proportion to their advantage.

- Pang bros horror THE CHILDS EYE 3D opening in June?
- Posted by Deljhp - 04/03/10 at 10:23 AM
Those workaholic Pang brothers, Danny and Oxide have been keeping themselves busy over the last year. As well as putting their latest big budget blockbuster Storm Warriors 2 through post production and release, they've also been hard at work on another follow up film to their hit "The Eye" horror series, titled The Child's Eye 3D.
We're very intrigued to see what those Pang boys have been up to in their 3D world, and signs are starting to appear that Child's Eye is nearing completion. A first piece of teaser art has turned up. A more detailed summary of the plot is out, and now, some of the movies distributors are quoting June as the month for the release. Heres hoping that opening date sticks, because an English subbed DVD release should'nt be too far behind!.
Synopsis: Stranded in Thailand by the political uprising and airport closure, Rainie and her friends were unable to return home. Reluctantly, they decide to stay in an aged and shabby hotel. Among them is Rainie's almost-breakup boyfriend, Lok, Ling and her brother Rex and Ciwi with her beloved boyfriend, Hei. The moment they check into the hotel…they come across three weird children and a puppy that seems slightly odd. As strange and sinister things start to happen, they begin disappearing one after another………

Google Interns Log Valuable On-the-Job Experience
From unusual conference bikes to dog-friendly offices, Google interns have interesting stories to take back to school after they complete their internships.It's apparently not just a 9-to-5 job being a Google intern. Instead of a mundane workplace with routine tasks, low energy and a "can't wait until 5 o'clock" mindset, Google interns have a wide assortment of unique things that seem to keep their internships from being anything but ordinary. That's the conclusion of Isabel Baylor and Maggie Hohlfeld, two members of Google's intern and university programs team, who wrote a list of "8 unexpected things about being a Google intern." The list, posted Aug. 14 on the Google Student Blog, made it very clear that Google interns take some pretty interesting experiences back to school with them after their internships are over. So what are the unexpected things in the lives of Google interns? The first, wrote Baylor and Hohlfeld, is that Google interns work on real projects. "Interns work on high-level, cutting-edge projects—no photocopying for hours or retrieving coffee here!" they explained. "Our interns work on everything from Chrome OS, Google Docs, Google X, and YouTube. A lot of interns who come back to work in full-time roles at Google are surprised to see that the code they created as interns still exists and is being put to use. "
Another surprise is that there is "so much food" interns can consume while they are working, they wrote. "It's true—interns, along with all other Googlers, receive free meals and snacks every day. That's right, free breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Our cafe staff even has to double the amount of food during the summer months to accommodate our growing population of interns. There are around 1.2 million meals served per year worldwide!"

This has not been fixed on m-c changeset 7c7d2a8db7ff (which has bug 716713 included)

summary: Backout 54cd89b0f1fa (bug 712714 backout). Talos will probably report fake regressions for this patch, do not back out for this reason.
Created attachment 587894 [details] [diff] [review]
Various problems with AssertValidPropertyCacheHit. Before bug 712714, I don't think this function was ever being called on cache hits under method JIT stub calls, and now that it is there are a bunch of test failures because of problems in this code.
These test failures weren't showing up on tinderbox because the property cache is disabled in threadsafe builds. There isn't any technical reason anymore why the property cache should be disabled in such builds, and I tried doing this for bug 712714 but ran into problems because the assertions are broken when dealing with certain DOM objects (there is a cache hit on the prototype, and when confirming the hit a resolve hook on the object itself executes which installs the searched-for property).
Automatically extracted testcase for this bug was committed:

US President Barack Obama has said North Korea will no longer be rewarded for provocative behaviour at a joint appearance with South Korean President Park Geun-hye.
The leaders affirmed the security alliance between their countries, at the White House briefing.
Ms Park is making her first visit to the US since taking office in February, and held talks with Mr Obama on Tuesday.
Ahead of their meeting, US officials said North Korea had moved two medium-range missiles from a coastal launch site, lowering tensions.

Live Commentary
90' + 3'Full-time at Old Trafford. Brazil 3-1 Belarus. Brazil's deserved victory sees the Selecao progress to the quarter-finals with Neymar starring throughout. The 20-year-old set up Alexandre Pato's goal in the first half and was again decisive in the second half as he both won and converted a spectacular freekick to put his side in the lead. He capped off his display with an unselfish layoff to the influential Oscar who added a late third goal. Mano Menezes' side however were restricted to few chances in the first half, and after conceding an early goal against the run of play will be aware that concentration will be crucial as the tournament progresses and his side face a possible quarter-final against Spain as they attempt to collect an Olympic Gold.
90'Assist Neymar Jr.
90'Goal Oscar
Goal Brazil! Oscar! Juan finds Neymar on the left flank and after two excellent touches to take him towards the edge of the box, the Santos starlet backheels the ball into the path of the overlapping Oscar who finishes confidently inside the near post.
88'Lucas Moura is fouled by Sergei Politevich and Oscar takes the freekick, which is saved by Gutor.
86'SubstitutionHulk Danilo
Porto's newly signed Danilo replaces Hulk in a move to shore up the defence.
84'SubstitutionAlexandre Pato Lucas
Sao Paulo's Manchester United target Lucas Moura replaces Alexandre Pato to bring fresh legs in attack. Mano Menezes will want to ensure his side continue to attack and avoid coming under pressure as Belarus seek an equaliser.
82'Belarus are attacking more as the game draws to a close and Mikhail Gordeichuk advances down the left flank to swing in a cross which Juan is on hand to clear.
81'SubstitutionAleksey Kozlov Aleksei Gavrilovich
80'Yellow Card Stanislau Drahun
79'Neymar stuns the crowd with a breathtaking run through what seems like half the Belarus team, advancing all the way from the left flank into the box. He attempts a drag back but is stopped by a crunching tackle from Igor Kuzmenok.
77'SubstitutionSergey Kornilenko Yegor Zubovich
The tiring Kornilenko is taken off for fellow forward Egor Zubovich in an attempt to put fresh legs up front.
77'Neymar takes a corner from the right but the cross is headed clear.
73'Brazil calmly stroking the ball around the pitch as they appear to seek to kill the game, but a startling change of pace sees Alexandre Pato receive the ball on the edge of the box and seek to play in Neymar. Gutor however manages to claim the ball.
69'SubstitutionIlya Aleksievich Andrei Voronkov
Midfielder Ilya Aleksievich is taken off for forward Andrei Voronkov as Belarus search for a way back into the game.
68'Rafael advances into the box and hooks the ball back to Alexandre Pato, who is unable to connect.
65'Goal Neymar Jr.
Goal Brazil! Neymar curls the freekick from the right edge of the box into the top left corner. Goalkeeper Aleksandr Gutor may be unhappy with his positioning as the effort beat him in the half of the goal he himself was protecting. But the freekick arrowed straight into the top corner and the gifted 20-year-old will rightly take the credit for breaking the deadlock.
65'Neymar extravagantly twists away from a challenge but is fouled outside the right edge of the box.
64'SubstitutionSandro Ganso
Holding midfielder Sandro is taken off for the talented playmaker Ganso in an attacking change from Mano Menezes.
60'Bardini Bressan spots Neto off his line and tries to chip the Brazil keeper with a carefully curled effort into the top corner. Neto tips it wide but the incident will remind the Selecao of the need to make the most of their chances.
59'Belarus captain Stanislav Dragun fouls Neymar but the referee plays advantage, and Oscar threatens to take advantage with a powerful shot from the edge of the box that Gutor parries.
57'Oscar demonstrates great composure in front of the opposition box to evade challenges from two defenders before finding Rafael with a through ball chipped over the defence. The full-back's cross does not find its destination however.
55'Oscar narrowly fails to connect with Alexandre Pato's header back across goal.
53'Neymar cuts inside from the left flank and fires wide of the far post.
50'Marcelo shoots powerfully from outside the left edge of the box. His effort curves across Gutov but the keeper deals with it confidently.
49'Oscar at first looks to spread the ball to the right flank but instead turns inside onto his left foot before firing over the bar.
47'Dimitri Baga dangerously gives the ball away to Hulk in the middle of the pitch, who sprints forward with the ball but attempts too much in trying to get past Sergei Politevich.
46'Brazil start the second half at a high tempo after taking a while to appear after half time.
It's half-time at Old Trafford with the score at 1-1. Mano Menezes' side have looked comfortable on the ball and attacked confidently with a fluid style throughout the first half, although they have created few chances. Belarus however have defended competantly and threatened on the break, requiring the Selecao to exercise caution as they seek to take the lead after Alexandre Pato cancelled out Bardini Bressan's surprise early goal.
45' + 1'Neymar combines on the left edge of the box with Marcelo before attempting to curl a speculative effort into the top right corner, which flies over.
44'Alexandre Pato is called offside as he looks to run on to a throughball.
43'Belarus carelessly give the ball away by passing straight to Romulo, who finds Hulk on the right edge of the box. His pass to Oscar is intercepted but Georgy Kondratyev's side are coming under pressure as the game approaches half time.
41'Rafael curves a dangerous low cross in front of the keeper. Pato darts to the near post but is unable to connect.
40'Gutor advances to claim a cross and again looks early for Kornilenko.
39'Hulk shapes to shoot on his favoured left foot on the edge of the box but blasts a wild effort over the bar.
38'Rafael runs beyond Hulk into the box, but his cross is blocked.
35'Bardini Bressan slides in an accurate pass to Kornilenko on the right wing. The striker does well to get to the byline past 2 defenders but dwells on the ball and is tackled as his teammates flood into the box.
34'Neymar stylishly pirouettes away from a defender on the left flank before switching the play to Hulk, who gets to the by-line but fires in a hard cross that his teammates are unable to connect with.
32'Neto nervily concedes a corner after tipping Bardini Bressan's freekick out of play. The Belarus attacker had been expected to put in a cross from the right flank but unexpectedly chose to float a speculative effort towards the far corner.
29'Kornilenko fouls Thiago Silva in frustration after the defender stepped in to win possession. It's a difficult role for the striker, who has support from Bardini Bressan on occasion but is frequently left to attack on his own.
27'Neymar reappears on the left flank and lays the ball off to Oscar, whose shot from the edge of the box is accidentally blocked by Hulk.
25'Hulk swaps flanks with Neymar who moves to the right, and immediately threatens as he darts in between the opposition defenders and flashes a low cross across the box.
22'Oscar, who has looked lively in linking Brazil's play in the middle of the park, looks to test keeper Gutor from outside the edge of the box, but his shot flies into the keeper's arms.
20'Belarus keeper Gutor immediately aims for Kornilenko on receiving the ball. He has done that before and it seems to be a particular strategy with the aim of catching Brazil unaware.
17'The game has got off to an excellent start in the first fifteen minutes and Brazil are looking confident, showcasing an expansive game and stretching the game. Marcelo and Rafael are getting well forward.
15'Assist Neymar Jr.
15'Goal Alexandre Pato
Goal Brazil! Alexandre Pato! Neymar appears to be no threat outside the left edge of the box ahead of a packed defence, but he shifts the ball onto his right foot and floats in an excellent cross to Pato, who times his run to perfection and directs a header from close range into the back of the net.
14'Yellow Card Aleksey Kozlov
Kozlov receives a yellow card for a foul on Marcelo.
11'Hulk runs onto a through ball on the right edge of the box and goalkeeper Aleksandr Gutor dashes out to attempt to intercept. The Porto forward falls over the keeper and appeals for a penalty but to no avail.
9'Assist Aleksey Kozlov
9'Goal Renan Bressan
Goal Belarus! Aleksei Kozlov receives the ball on the right flank and curls in an excellent, precise cross towards the back post. Brazilian-born Renan Bardini Bressan runs into the box ahead of Rafael to put a free header inside the despairing keeper Neto's left post. Slack marking from the right back.
6'Hulk shimmies to make room for a shot outside the left edge of the box but the ball is intercepted.
4'Belarus enjoy their first spell of possession down the left side of the pitch.
3'Belarus' Sergei Kornilenko is fouled by Rafael on the right of the pitch. The Manchester United full back has got forward down the right flank and tested the opposition's defence with some early crosses.
1'Brazil get the game underway at Old Trafford and stroke the ball around the middle of the pitch.
Alexandre Pato starts in place of Leandro Damiao in attack, in Brazil's only change after their 3-2 win over Egypt. For Belarus, Ilya Aleksievich replaces Artem Solovei.
Belarus: Gutor; Kozlov, Kuzmenok, Politevich, Polyakov, Gordeichuk; Aleksievich, Dragun, Baga; Bardini Bressan; Kornilenko. Substitutes: Shcherbakov, Gavrilovich, Solovei, Khvashchinsky, Voronkov, Zubovich, Skavysh.

Game #47 Preview: "Ducks" @ Canucks
Thomas Drance
April 25 2013 02:00PM
You know when an Andrew Alberts image leads off our game preview that it's going to be a good one.
Photograph by: Jeff Gross/Getty Images North America
The Ducks aren't really playing tonight. Anaheim's lineup, in fact, won't include Iced Man Ryan Getzlaf (though actually it might which is hilarious), Bobby Ryan, Luca Sbisa, Bryan Allen, Corey Perry, Saku Koivu or Teemu Sellane. So if they're not showing up, why must I in writing a game preview?
Because that's my damn job. Read past the jump.
Chicago Wolves Quality of Competition, and the End of their Affiliation with the Canucks

Bill Sweatt gets burned by Tomas Tatar who qualifies as tough competition.

Earlier this week the Chicago Wolves signed an affiliation agreement with the St. Louis Blues, the organization the Canucks had previously acquired the Peoria Rivermen from.
So the affiliation agreement between the Canucks and the Chicago Wolves has ended after two years, and while I wouldn't go so far as to say that the relationship has ended on an acrimonious note publicly, I would suggest that it seems the two sides are glad to be moving on.

Afternoon Headshots: April 24th

Here's your 2012-13 Canucks official team photo.
Via @VanCanucks
Busy day at your second (or maybe even your third) favorite Canucks blog. We looked at how the potential deal to bring Vancouver's newly acquired AHL affiliate to Abbotsford has failed and what other options the Canucks might pursue, we noted that Modo's new coaching staff has some curious Canucks ties, we reacted to the news of Cory Schneider's injury, applauded Mike Gillis's willingness to burn Frank Corrado's entry-level contract, and updated the myriad of injury statuses for a variety of Canucks mainstays.
Read past the jump for other Canucks news, a sick Canucks .gif and other links.
Injury Bug: Good News Across the Board from Mike Gillis
Thomas Drance
April 24 2013 02:53PM
There isn't much reason to worry about Vancouver's multitude of walking wounded, apparently.
Andy Clark/REUTERS
Mike Gillis appeared on the Team 1040 with Blake Price and Matt Sekeres on the "Canucks Lunch" on Wednesday afternoon (podcast here), and, of course, right off the bat Vancouver's General Manager was grilled about the injury status of Cory Schneider, Chris Tanev, Keith Ballard and Kevin Bieksa. He delivered good news across the board, which should come as a huge relief for Canucks fans.
I get asked about Canucks player injuries all the time on Twitter, as if I know more than what's out there in the public record. Anyway due to the frequency with which I'm asked about the team's injury status, I figured I'd assemble the latest updates in one reference post for those who are interested. Read past the jump for more.
Gillis would "absolutely" burn the first year of Corrado's ELC if he's "going to help us win hockey games"

Mike Gillis gave Matt Sekeres and Blake Price a pretty meaty interview on the Team 1040 on Wednesday afternoon. We'll probably pivot off of a couple of things he said today, just because there was enough content to legitimately do so, but let's start with some choice comments Mike Gillis had on the subject of Frank Corrado and entry-level contracts.
In particular Gillis was asked if the team would be willing to burn the first year of Corrado's entry-level contract, which because Frank Corrado didn't turn twenty until this past spring is on schedule to "slide" so long the rookie defenceman plays in fewer than six NHL games, including playoffs, this season. His answer was definitive, so read on past the jump.

Tintin: The Prisoners of the Sun
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Tintin: The Prisoners of the Sun is a fun adventure, but includes some dated elements, including stereotypical depictions of indigenous people. Also, the gags revolving around Captain Haddock's boozing habits feel dated and problematic. Besides this, there is cartoonish violence throughout -- fighting with rifles, knives, and fists, and falling from cliffs, mountains, and ships. Still, like the other Tintin adventures, the twisting and engaging storyline is still quite enjoyable, four decades later.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's the story?
Tintin, the Thompsons, Captain Haddock, and Snowy must go to Peru, where Professor Calculus and other professors have been taken prisoner. They try to rescue him from a ship, but learn that he is in the "Temple of the Sun," where he is to be executed for wearing an Incan artifact as a bracelet. It is up to Tintin and his friends to find the Temple of the Sun, and endure a series of battles with the weather, the mountains, crocodiles, and a condor, before the final battle and the last chance to save Calculus and the other professors from seemingly certain doom.
Is it any good?
TINTIN: THE PRISONERS OF THE SUN is a fun installment of the popular animated series and the classic Herge children's books. That is, as long as you can somehow overlook some of the more egregious stereotyping going on with the Incans. In terms of both animation quality and storytelling, this is firmly rooted in the mid-20th century, and if you can enjoy that on its own terms, it's quite enjoyable.
The trials and tribulations Tintin and his friends must endure in order to rescue Professor Calculus are unrelenting. And like most animation from that time, the fact that none of it is particularly realistic makes it that much more enjoyable. We know Tintin -- like James Bond -- is going to get out of these seemingly inescapable scrapes -- but how he does it is where the entertainment lies.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about when this movie was made. How does this 1969 movie compare to animated stories from today?
What do you think is the general appeal of Tintin, all these years later?
How are Incans portrayed in this movie? What stereotypes of indigenous people are depicted here? How have the way certain people are portrayed changed over time?

Stony the Road to Change by Marilyn M. Thomas-Houston
Book DescriptionThis book is the result of an ethnographic study on the impact of Black cultural diversity on social action. The ethnography has three important characteristics. First, it incorporates the multiple perspectives of the ethnographer with the diverse voices of the people through an unusual form of reflexivity that provides additional insight for the descriptions, analyses, and conclusions of the book. This epistemological method is used to challenge traditional structures of ethnographies. Secondly, it argues for the consideration of non-traditional approaches to studying the Black experience - a focus away from race relations and issues of class and an emphasis on intragroup interaction and diversity. Thirdly, it investigates the processes, social institutions, and structures within the Black community of a small college town that influence social change and social action since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.

Great smell

Great smell
I love the light smell and i find that it keeps my underarms smelling good all day long. It is not meant to prevent perspiration. those deos that do are harmful to the skin. This keeps me smelling good even with perspiration.
Sad & stinky
Posted by Reviewer1260106 on Nov 25, 2012
I loved the light spray and lavendar smell. Maybe the armpits did not smell but the clothes would! Perspiration would still come out and soak the clothes, and then sweat smell would appear. So maybe it is meant more for mild use. I live in hot humid Singapore and it works only if I stay in aircon the whole day. SAD.
Posted by Reviewer2060916 on Sep 28, 2011
Smells great, not too strong but keep in mind it is only a deodorant so you may have to apply twice a day. For me i have to because i weight train most days.
A Keeper!!
Posted by 5484076540221287341 on Oct 17, 2014
This is the perfect deodorant for me. The protection is just perfect, and the scent is refreshing while adding extra benefits from the lavender oil.

I love Crystal body deodorant so I decided to try it with a fragrance (I don't know Why, just for a change I guess). Didn't really like the fragrance. Won't buy this one again. But the deodorant works great.
Posted by 5709098757214985841 on Sep 21, 2016
Smells beautiful!!!! I had been searching so long for a great deodorant and this one wins my heart! This deodorant leaves my skin feeling so soft and comfortable, yet it truly works. I don't have any underarm odor and it is gentle enough that it won't irritate the skin.
Smells great and works well.
Posted by 5709351301455794548 on Dec 05, 2016
I really like this product. The lavender spray smells amazing and even after gym I still smell good :) I'll definitely order this product again.
product that works

i'm a very sweaty person and this has worked well for me. on VERY hot days spent outdoor, an extra application is sometimes needed. i live near the equator. the spray bottle does not always work well though.

Al-Anon helps us deal with relapse
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Welcome to "First Steps to Al-Anon Recovery" from Al-Anon Family Groups. This is a series of podcasts to discuss some common concerns for people who have been affected by someone else's drinking.
Philene, Marianne, and Mike are with us today. All are active Al-Anon members. Today we're going to talk with people whose loved ones experienced a relapse during their recovery.

110 comments on "Al-Anon helps us deal with relapse"
So my boyfriend was almost 60 days sober, he didn't come home last night. We live with my mother, who is 22 years sober. He relapsed last night and I don't know what to do, cause I don't want my mom to think he he is a failure or to be mad. I have been crying all night.
He said he is trying to figure what he has to do next. He starts his out patient program on the 20th, so he doesn't have a sponsor. I am freaking out. Idk what to do anymore.
I've been with my alcoholic boyfriend for over two and a half years. In the first year, he tried to get sober, the first attempt lasted for 2 months, with help from meds. After a long relapse, I gave him an ultimatum, go back on meds or move out. He was back on meds, exercising to go on a competition, working hard, and we went on holidays overseas. It was the best 6 months. He suddenly stopped taking his meds without me knowing and relapsed. Since it has been a nightmare. So many attempts and relapses. He refuses to go back to the hospital, some of his drinking buddies told him the meds would mess up his brain. He refuses to go to counselling, he says it's a waste of time, and he will try to stop drinking on his own. His so called friends are the worst. Everytime he tries to get sober and tells them he isn't drinking, they always call him to go out drinking. They aren't even alcoholics. Some of them for sure are using him because he always pays for drinks. His behaviour while drunk is getting worse, doesn't go to work, and spends all his money on alcohol. He doesn't drink every day, but when he does, he binges for at least a weak (non-stop). He also suffers from depression. I have tried to give him my support. I've been to Al-Anon (unfortunately the only Al-Anon group in my city doesn't have regular meetings, and the few times I went there there was no one) to help myself, went to see a therapist but stopped because it was too costly (around $150 an hour). I currently live in Korea, there isn't enough support system for alcoholics, there's a stigma attached to alcoholics (if an alcoholic go to seek advice from a doctor, they have to seek help from what Koreans called "crazy people doctor", and it is recorded so if they want to fine a new job or get a life insurance, no employer will take them and no life insurance will take them as they are labelled "crazy") I feel helpless, I do feel sorry for him, but this is affecting me lots. I am considering leaving him.
My boyfriend of over 4 years went to his first rehab facility in February for alcohol abuse. He was doing so amazing, making so much progress. I was going to Al-Anon and making my own progress as well. He came back home and things felt so right.
For so long before he decided to get help, all I could think about was, "How am I going to get the hell out of this relationship?" But now since he has been working to get clean, I have been able to think about our future, marriage, children. Not just about how to escape the misery. I love him with all my heart. I am 24 yeas old, about to be 25, and he has been there for me ever since my mother died 4 years ago.
He had about 60 days clean time up until last week, when he relapsed. He started going back to his old behaviors of playing pool in bars with his "friends" and missing out on meetings. He said the relapse was a learning experience because now he sees how much of a hold drinking really has on him. He thought he would have no problem keeping sober, and he did. He does. A big problem.
He said it wasn't worth it. Then for a few days we tried to have things go back to "normal," but I knew this would happen again. He wasn't attending meetings, and he was complaining about the ones he did go to. He complained about his outpatient treatment and made excuses about getting a sponsor. He refused my advice to tell his cousins or uncle in recovery about his relapse and I just knew this was going to happen again.
I was right. Last night he said he was going to go skateboarding for just a little while with his friend that I actually find really supportive of him being sober. Hours went by. I called him around 1:30 am and I heard that familiar slurring and that nasty tone that I have not heard in months, that I have nightmares of hearing, and there it was, right in my ear like it was months ago.
I could barely understand him and when I asked him if he had been drinking he just said "Text me" and hung up. I did not try to call him back. I just buried my face into my pillow and cried until I fell asleep.
He came home at 3:30 am and went to sleep. I pretended to be sleeping to make sure he would not cause a drunken mess like he used to, but he didn't. I woke up this morning, and before I left for work, I set the alarm for him. He has outpatient at 10 am. That is a joke. I know he won't go, or sleep through it.
I feel so helpless and hopeless. Reading a story on his chain made me really think. Even if my boyfriend gets sober and clean for months or years, he is the type who will test his limits. He would probably try to drink years after getting sober, thinking he could handle it and we will be right back here. Except I will be older and maybe even have children. Then I will really be screwed.
Thinking of going to Al-Anon at lunch time today. Say a prayer for me.
Can't believe I am writing this. Just lying here in my bed while my daughter who has just turned 1 is sleeping beside me. My partner, who has recently finished 6 weeks in rehab, just relapsed. Actually, he is probably enjoying taking drugs as I write this (I am angry).
I feel so disappointed and devastated. He was doing so well, things finally started to feel good for a change. I was just starting to hope, something I haven't allowed myself to do as I am so used to being let down by this man.
I want to get back to work after having my daughter, & be able to plan. I don't want to be on this roller coaster & I certainly don't want this chaos for my daughter. The thing is, I love this person. You try to be there to support, stand by them, etc. But it becomes all about them.
I am a first time mum & I find this has taken over the 1st year of my daughter's life — it's has been all about him. He finally got some help and went into residential rehab & here I am back here with drugs again. I know he's an addict and relapses are to be expected. I naively thought I would be okay, but I don't know what I do now.
He went to rehab because I had reached my limit. I told him I couldn't deal with him not seeking professional help, so I was walking away and it was up to him whether he chose drugs or got help. So he eventually got help. I just don't know what else I can possibly do.
My mom and dad are both drug addicts. My mom is cross-addicted. I'm only 16 years old and I've had experience myself, of course. I've learned the hard way. I have an older sister who's 20 and she's addicted to OxyContin. I have a younger brother and he used to smoke weed and pop pills. But a blessing in disguise happened to us. DSS got involved and my younger brother and I got taken away. We were placed with a foster family, and then we got moved to a group home. I've gotten really close with God then, because He was my only hope. I know He's the only one who heard my cries when I had nobody. March 26th was a year since we were taken.
Today I went to see my mom and I could tell she had done something. We'd been cleaning this trailer that we were planning to move in, but something was telling me to look in her pocket book. I did and there was a bottle of liquor. My heart just broke. I thought to myself, we've came a long way, why throw it away now?
I've come to realize that the devil won that battle. She was a little tipsy, so she didn't realize what was so wrong, she just kept saying I want to be normal and take a drink every now and then. But what she failed to realize was she's an addict and anything like that can trigger it off.
My little brother and I were sitting there talking, both upset and crying, thinking if this is really happening for a reason, and why is this happening to us–why us? It's hard to comprehend this, but we've decided that we're gonna fight through this battle because God always wins the war. We've also decided that we're going to let this make us and not break us because God has a special plan for each of us, and we're trusting in Him. And always will.
I believe our struggle and all the tough times will pay off. You all are in my prayers and I ask for the same. God will never leave or forsake us. Little do we know, this too shall pass. My brother and I have come a long way and we're not giving up now and never will. We're sticking through it together.
End of February, my 70-year-old mother might have died if not for an out-of-state relative's phone call to me saying she wasn't answering her phone. Normally, I would have figured she was out doing Saturday errands. But like the "caretaker" child of alcoholic parents I am, I went to her house with my husband. She was sprawled out on the sofa at 11 am, more or less incoherent. A receipt on her table and the empty bottles indicated that she blew through about 4 liters of the hard stuff in 5 days.
She did not get up to use the bathroom until 2 pm. Long about 10 pm, and after sitting with her for hours of vomiting and refusing to go to the hospital I finally called an ambulance after she was unable to get back to the sofa from the bathroom with my help. She spent three days in ICU, being detoxed, and several more in a regular hospital room to get the internal bleeding, severe esophagitis, and pancreatitis under control. I insisted to the doctor that she get some home health care when she was released, because I did not think it would be a good idea for her to go right back to her old ways so fast. At least this way, a nurse would be checking on her progress (I clued the nurse in outside when she was leaving after the first visit.)
After she got "cleared" by the home nurse, she asked for her "stuff" back. The stuff is all the booze I removed from her house. Her excuse is that she had nothing to serve when her friend was over, and so she "had" to buy a bottle of rum. She had to buy a 1.75 liter bottle, which I saw at Easter. I was tempted to stop the next day and see if the level went down, but I'm too tired of trying to change what goes on– she would just lie to me about it and think the lie worked. I think the asking for the stuff back was to cover for the booze she bought being in her house–she says she hasn't had any alcohol. Bull. I am her power of attorney, and I can look at her bank account and see the amounts she writes to the grocery store– it's not all food, believe me.
She thinks she doesn't have any kind of "condition." You should see the amount of vitamins she had to take after being pumped full of various IV's in the hospital. B vitamins, potassium, phosphorus, prenatal vitamins, probiotics, along with stuff to control acid reflux and liquid to coat her stomach so she could at least eat something. Her system was totally depleted and she was malnourished– her eyes were sunken and her skin is getting very crepe-y. I think that she was at the beginning stages of "alcoholic wet brain" the night I called the ambulance, because although I was supporting her walking, she thought she was falling forward when she was leaning backward on me– and this was close to ten hours after I arrived at her house, after drinking water all day long (and vomiting it up)– meaning that although she had not had alcohol for that long, she was having trouble walking.
I think my mother has had her brain damaged by alcohol (liver and other things, too.) She does not fully understand what happened to her and is definitely in denial that she has a drinking problem. She lies and she thinks that her lies are believable. She turns my concerns back on me and tells me I have a problem. It takes an extreme amount of restraint to keep from telling her that any problem I have is a direct result of growing up in an alcoholic household. She cannot empathize or relate to what she put ME through as a child, and is still putting me through.
I recently read "Recovery: A Guide for Adult Children of Alcoholics." I always knew there was a problem with my parents–I saw a lot of stuff no child should ever see. I always knew it was not my fault, unlike a lot of people in that kind of situation. But what I did not know was how it shaped my personality and thinking and the way I see the world. I would recommend this to anyone who had/has alcoholic parent(s).
I think I have been in recovery for about 20 years, although I did not know it until I read that book. I have been slowly distancing myself from my mother and alcoholic brother over the years. My husband has helped me over the years see the craziness and the bizarre logic that goes on in my family. Before, I was just used to how my family was. More recently, I have been stepping away from people who are unkind or thoughtless or selfish. I think this is me choosing to take care of myself and my own needs–finally. Right now, I am just exhausted and burned out from all of it. But understanding I have a right to be happy and a right not to be mistreated or take care of their problems is giving me hope.
My husband is an alcoholic who has relapsed. He was a year and a half sober and now he is back to drinking every day and lying to me about it — when I clearly know that he is drunk when I get home from work. I love my husband with all my heart and I don't want to walk away from him. I do not know what to do anymore, though. He says he does not have a problem, and he won't go get help. I am trying to help him, but I don't know how.
I'm 22 and live with my 53-year-old mom. She used to be clean, but ever since I was in high school, around 10th grade, I discovered she had been drinking, hiding it away, becoming angry if I didn't buy her beer, even stealing my money.
Now she doesn't care if she drinks, but she'll get mad if I bring it up that I want her to stop. I am trying to finish college and get a job, a car, and move out one day, but I feel no matter what I do it's not good enough.
I quit college to help her out and I feel bad, because it's my dream. People who don't have parents like this will say to leave them alone and deal with your life, but how can you when you can't stand by and watch the people you love destroy themselves?
Wow! I can't believe I'm writing this. I got married to a wonderful guy almost three years ago. We have a 20-month-old baby. He is an alcoholic, but I didn't know it til after we got married, because we met online.
He drinks every single weekend on Friday and Saturday. He stays at home, but every morning is a nightmare for me. I don't want my son growing up with such a bad example. I asked him to stop and he gave me a date that he is breaking today. We are in a hotel in a conference and I found the beers in the refrigerator. I'm so tired of this. I don't know what to do.
It gives me comfort to think I'm not alone.
I've been with my spouse for 8 years. We have a beautiful 6-year-old son. He was a pot smoker when I met him. It wasn't until we moved in together, after 6 months I realized he was a functioning pot-head and an alcoholic.
We always enjoyed a few drinks together, I don't smoke or do drugs. After finding out we were expecting, I thought things would change. They didn't. They got worse.
We would fight about his pot smoking daily. When our son was 3, he quit smoking pot. I was very proud of him. He had been a chronic smoker since his early teens and was 35 when he gave it up. He was smoke-free, but continued to drink more and more. I couldn't take much more.
I justified all the reasons to stay. He was a good father (but was he?). My husband was dedicated to our son. We spent a lot of time together as a family, but it was tiring. Always being on guard and watching how many beers he had. Always making sure he didn't drive, watching him spend hundreds of dollars a month on alcohol. So when he started smoking again and hiding it from me a year later, I left. I couldn't deal with the lying.
Then, stupid me, after a year of talking and working on things, my son and I moved back in. Little did I know in the year we were apart, he became a full-blown alcoholic and cocaine addict. Easy to hide the latter. He insisted on keeping his "social schedule," drinking and using several nights a week with his buddies. I confronted him a few times over 6 months. He said I was crazy and that he was only drinking, and staying up all night was his prerogative.
In Sept 2015, I found the evidence (I already knew I was right anyway). I confronted him and told him, get help or get out. He stayed off drugs and alcohol for a few months, but replaced it with a new found addiction to video games. He's not going to work anymore, playing for hours and hours. He justifies it, just like he did the drinking and drugs. He's been sober, or should say was sober until last Saturday.
We were at a family function, and our son was with my parents. He had told his own family he stopped drinking months ago. But his mom insisted that it was ok for him to have a few. So he did. More than a few. Got hammered. I'm angry and annoyed. 4 months in and he couldn't say no, even with me there.
I should never have come back. I should have known better.

As Fires Burn, Chile Finds Itself Short on Firefighting Aircraft
Saturday, January 21, 2017
Patrol Vessel Program Expands Into Warship Role
The Navy is getting more ambitious with its offshore patrol vessel program. What began as a four-unit fleet of modestly armed boats quickly was increased to five, and the newer ships have a 76 mm main gun. (The first two OPVs had a 40 mm gun.) Now, the Navy says it's considering using the successful Fassmer-class platform to build corvettes. Chile needs to replace its three remaining missile boats, and hopes the replacement ships will increase capabilities. After putting three OPVs into service since 2007, the Navy's Asmar shipyard has gained valuable experience building the 1,850-ton vessels and feels confident to take on a larger project. This is not a new idea. From the beginning of the program, the Navy had an eye on evolving its OPVs into small combat ships. A report in Jane's, via Noticias FF AA Chile, notes that the new ships could be operational by the time the three Saar 4 missile craft will be retired, within a decade. The corvettes might also be called littoral combat ships, and they would carry anti-ship missiles and an air defense system, plus more sensors. Removing the hangar and landing deck on the existing design, Chile's OPVs would have enough room to add those components. Jane's report says the corvettes would be at least 2,200 tons.

Navy Decides on Upgrades as it Faces Scandal
The Navy has been the most active of Chile's military branches this month, for good and bad. The three Type 23 frigates, the most modern of the fleet, will undergo extensive upgrades. Those include installing the Sea Ceptor air-defense missile to replace the Sea Wolf that came with the purchase of the vessels from Britain. The Sea Ceptor, which has a range of 25 km, is made by MBDA Missile Systems, a European consortium. The Type 23s also are getting the TRS 4D radar system from Airbus Defense and the CMS 330 naval combat system from Lockheed Martin Canada, according to Defensa.com. The project exceeds $180 million, and Chile's Asmar and Sisdef will participate in the project. Defensa.com also has reported that the Navy acquired Exocet Block III anti-ship missiles for at least one of its frigates, in what could be the first time the Exocet replaces the U.S.-made Harpoon system. Earlier this year, the Navy signed a contract with Canada-based IMP Aerospace for a major upgrade of P-3 Orion maritime reconnaissance aircraft, according to InfoDefensa. The project includes replacing parts of the wings and horizontal stabilizer on two P-3s plus new avionics systems and improved engines. Now, for the bad news: Nine sailors are under investigation for secretly installing video cameras with the intention of secretly taping female sailors aboard the frigate Almirante Lynch. The sailors face criminal charges and the scandal could hurt Chile's efforts to integrate more women into the armed forces. Update: The first Orion has left Chile to undergo its midlife upgrade, the Navy announced. The work will extend the service life of each P-3 by about 20 years.

Deals Widen Cooperation with Key Suppliers Airbus, Lockheed Martin
Chile's Ministry of Defense has signed cooperation agreements with two of its most important providers of military hardware. In one accord, the Air Force's Enaer aerospace company formed a partnership with Airbus to increase business opportunities for both companies in production and maintenance of aircraft and space programs. The agreement gives Enaer a measure of prestige by aligning itself with one of the top aviation companies in the world. Enaer has struggled to build its business, which has been primarily to serve as the maintenance arm of FACh. Airbus has made sales to Chile of C-235, C-295, a satellite and helicopters. Chile also has reached an agreement with Lockheed Martin to produce spare parts for the C-130 Hercules tactical transport planes. Chile operates five or six C-130s, including at least two that were transferred from U.S. stockpiles. Chile Navy uses Lockheed's P-3 Orion maritime reconnaissance airplane (which Lockheed is updating to a mid-life upgrade), and the F-16 forms the backbone of Chile's fighter force. FACh also is acquiring a half-dozen Black Hawk helicopters from Sikorsky, a division of Lockheed.

Chile Widens Military Ties with U.S.
The defense chiefs of the U.S. and Chile have signed a cooperation agreement, the latest step in a relationship that already has grown quite close between the two nations. The accord paves the way for research, development, testing and evaluation of defense projects. Already, Chile is one of the closest military allies of the U.S. in Latin America. The two countries operate a training center for peacekeeping missions in Chile, and there are frequent joint exercises. Chile's military is increasingly modeling itself after the U.S. and NATO, to the point that it can be viewed as an extension of U.S. military power. In the event of hostilities, Chile would have a lot of compatibility with their American counterparts, making it easy to operate jointly in a battlefield of the future. U.S. officials view such relationships as not only a projection of force, but also as a way to blunt the influence of rivals. China's military, for instance, has been making inroads with some Latin governments. Russia has clients for its weapons systems in Peru, Venezuela and other countries.

Chile Plans to End Military Funding from Copper as Cash Cow Runs Dry
The largest source of money for weapons acquisitions may finally be dismantled. Chile's government is moving to eliminate a 10% tax on the state-owned Codelco mining company's sales, a sum that goes directly for defense purchases. Plans to end the so-called copper law fizzled in two previous administrations, but now the proposal has more momentum than ever. Why? In short, because Codelco is running desperately low on cash. Depressed copper prices and lower-quality ores have combined to force Codelco to suffer losses. Usually the government's cash cow, Codelco now is seeking a government infusion of cash. The crisis has fanned hopes to free Codelco from its responsibility to the military, as officials revive a plan that would put acquisitions under general expenditures and place major programs in multi-year budget cycles. With a scandal unfolding in the armed forces' procurement process, lawmakers also see an opportunity to gain greater financial control. Since the boom in commodities in the 2000s, the copper tax provided Chile's military with more than $1 billion almost every year. That gave Chile the funds to make major upgrades of its warships, fighter jets and armor units. But now the price of copper is about half its peak in 2011. The money Codelco has passed on is far more than what Chile's military has spent, leaving a reserve that some estimate at more than $6 billion, which is being managed in a sovereign wealth fund. There's been little comment from the generals, but there is concern. Army chief Gen. Humberto Oviedo said Chile's run of more than 100 years without a war has been the result of a well-equipped military, and that advantage must be ensured. Because most weapons deals are financed over many years, the armed forces want to ensure themselves of a predictable source of funds.

This Project builds on recent observations from the EAS and elsewhere indicating that both stress and pain are Important risk factors for cognitive decline and dementia. Although pain contributes to stress and stress to pain, we recognize that these exposures are distinct. We propose to assess them together because they are associated at a behavioral level, have overlapping effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and on cognitive function. In addtion they share similar psychosocial and genetic moderators, and present measurement challenges that can be addressed using similar intensive measurement strategies. The overall goal of this project is to examine the Influence of experiential (e.g., daily and chronic pain, daily stressors and life events) and biological factors (e.g., glucocorticoid dysregulation) on cognitive decline and dementia risk in the elderly. This Project will use annual assessments as well as an intensive measurement burst to provide precise measurements ofthe experience of pain and stress as well as their physiologic consequences. The measurement burst consists of an 8-day telephone diary assessing pain, daily stressors, mood, and activity limitations;participants also provide multiple salivary samples per day over 4 days for analysis of diurnal Cortisol profiles to assess the HPA axis dysfunction. We will assess the Influence of pain, stress and glucocorticoids on measures of microvascular disease (retinal photography and reactivity to carbon dioxide as assessed by transcranial doppler) from Project 2. With Project 3, we will access the influence of pain, stress, and glucocorticoids on locomotion. Participants will complete in-lab annual cognitive assessment of episodic memory, working memory, executive function and processing speed because deficits In these domains have been linked to pain and stress in older adults. This design will allow us to determine how daily pain and stress as well as related processes (e.g., blunted morning Cortisol response, heightened emotional reactivity to daily stress) influence neuro-imaging as well as cognitive decline and dementia risk. We will also examine the influence of selected candidate genes, personality (e.g. neuroticism) and psychosocial factors (e.g., social support) on these pathways.
Pain and stress are common in late adult life and powerfully Influence brain structure and function. Yet they remain understudied as risk factors for cognitive decline. This study will yield insights into early behavioral and biological indicators of dementia, improving preclinical detection of disease and facilitating the development of novel preventive strategies.
