Although I havent been physically ill since Friday evening (I'll spare you the details) I've been eating close to nothing and mostly staying horizontal on the couch and I've reached my lowest weight in years! I'm a generally fit individual but attempt to stay away from unhealthy and right now, boy do I feel unhealthy. Gross. Frail.
Must eat, ASAP.
As 2013 rapidly approached and there are big bright things on the horizon, my main goal is to get myself in gear and get serious about health and my personal fitness. Not a good start in my current state but whatever....minor details-it all relates! Andy and I have played this yoyo game of fitness for far too long and although our eating habits are MOSTLY clean, we're far from as physically active as we'd like to be.
Call it a resolution, I do not-I hate those damn things... Just another way to let myself down.... prefer the word "goal" and I find it far more fitting here. I don't want to be like everyone else after the clock strikes 12am and say I vow to get fit....no. I want to be healthy and make intentional life choices that aren't about body shape or a number on a scale (although mine currently needs to go up a bit). I want to be healthy for my current family and be the best me for my future family.
My other
So, blessing and HEALTH in 2013!

another hat
Since there was another teacher having a baby at school, I made one more Jester hat (pictured in previous post). I was disappointed that I messed up in a couple places, but I guess that is just a reminder that I am an imperfect human. It reminds me of what I have heard of the Amish, though I am not sure if it is true - they make a mistake somewhere on whatever they make to show their imperfect human nature. Only God is perfect. It certainly is humbling though, making me not get prideful of what I make! I so want it to be perfect! I have not been doing any crafting lately ~ life has been too busy, or I have spent free time reading. If you haven't be sure to check out my other blog and my pictures of Haiti where I recently spent 2 weeks. Part of my heart is there!

Some of the most promising, cutting-edge medical research falls under the broad field of genetics — whether it's mapping the human genome or learning to identify cancer-causing genes. But over the last 70-odd years, some genetic experiments have, perhaps inevitably, attracted a fair amount of controversy. Controversy does not necessarily mean that a particular line of medical inquiry is unethical or not worthwhile — many lawmakers and scientists, for example, favor some use of genetically modified crops — yet there are some cases where genetic experiments clearly qualify as abhorrent. Take the Nazis' brutal medical experiments, which were inspired by Aryan-supremacist ideology and notions that certain ethnic groups possessed certain physical or mental advantages over other groups.
In this post, I'll take you through 10 genetic experiments, all of which have faced some controversy, but some of which still represent important fields of study.
The question of whether there is a so-called "gay gene" that, when present, dictates that someone is homosexual is a popular line of inquiry for some researchers — and a controversial one. The gay community is divided, with neuroscientist Steven Pinker describing two distinct camps: those who worry that discovery of a gay gene, or some other genetic basis for homosexuality, could lead to selective abortion; and those who justify the research on the grounds that finding homosexuality as genetically dictated would remove one justification for homophobia.
There are, of course, other reasons researchers use to justify this particular area of research. For one, the search for a biological origin of homosexuality should be divorced from any questions of morality. For another, it's an imperative for scientists to study and explore the full range of human diversity, even — or perhaps especially — when thorny questions arise.
As Pinker and others have pointed out, though, human sexuality studies in the U.S. have often been a victim of the "Culture Wars," dating back to the time of Alfred Kinsey. Consequently, European scientists — and the agencies and universities that fund them — often show a greater willingness to step into the field.
As of now, no general consensus exists as to the possible genetic basis of homosexuality, though various theories have been floated. In 2005, a team at the University of Illinois announced that it believed that multiple genes were linked to homosexuality. In 2008, another study found that homosexuality in men may be caused by an inherited gene that boosts fertility in women.
2. Nazi Medical Experiments
Some of the controversial genetic experiments in this article have scientific merit, but surely not the Nazis' brutal, torturous experimentation on innocent prisoners. A leader in these barbaric practices was Dr. Josef Mengele, who experimented on twins at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. Mengele's procedures often involved extensive, invasive examinations, following which the twins would be murdered by a lethal injection of phenol. The twins were then dissected and their organs and parts comparatively analyzed.
Other Nazi medical experiments included subjecting captured Russian soldiers to extremely cold temperatures and inducing hypothermia, based on a eugenics-inspired belief that Russians possessed an inherent genetic resistance to cold. The Nazi high command hoped that the studies would yield information that would help their soldiers fighting on the frigid eastern front.
In the years since the war, there has been periodic debate over whether any useful information could be derived from these studies, despite the horrors they entailed. In 1990, a report published by the New England Journal of Medicine concluded that the Nazi hypothermia studies had "all the ingredients of a scientific fraud" and that the data had no scientific value
3. Stem Cell Research
Imagine a doctor being able to take a batch of cells and make them into anything he or she needs — cells to repair the spinal cord of a paralyzed patient, for example. Such is the promise of stem cells, a pluripotent cell type that many researchers believe could lead to better therapies, or even cures, for Alzheimer's disease, various cancers and Parkinson's disease.
But many Americans have expressed discomfort at using embryonic stem cells for research, saying that fertilized embryos constitute human life. Generally these embryos are only a few days old; many of them are fertilized embryos left over from in vitro fertilization procedures and would normally be thrown away.
Since 1996, U.S. lawmakers, presidents and federal courts have been performing a careful dance around the issue of embryonic stem cell research. Varying laws and rulings have left open the door for research (usually on what are known as existing stem cell lines), while generally restricting or eliminating federal funding for said research.
However, despite the great potential of embryonic stem cells, some scientists and activists say the debate is a false one. Advances in adult stem cell research may open the door to equally fruitful stem–cell-based therapies that don't come with the accompanying ethical baggage. Adult stem cells are found in a number of human tissues, and scientists have been using them as part of bone marrow transplants for decades. Other uses have followed, but the key breakthrough will be finding ways to "reprogram" them in the laboratory, causing them to grow into the type of cells needed for the therapy at hand
4. Human Genetic Engineering
Just as with genetically modified foods, the genetic engineering of humans carries almost utopian potential. Disease and birth defects could be wiped out. We could live longer, be stronger and more intelligent. But there are also severe ethical concerns here. Would genetic improvements be limited to the wealthy? Similarly, would a discriminatory gap develop between the genetic "haves" and the "have nots"? Could there be other, unintentionally dangerous, side effects that are only seen when GM DNA is passed down to future generations?
In May 2008, a research team at Cornell University announced that it had created the first genetically modified human embryo, although the embryo was destroyed after five days. The scientists had added to the embryo a protein that glowed a fluorescent green. The announcement led to some debate about what governments should do to regulate the engineering of the human genome.
But a different form of genetic engineering had been used several years earlier, and in that case, the embryos had developed to term. In 2001, the BBC reported that scientists had altered children's germ lines — the genes that are eventually passed on through reproduction — by adding material from a third-party cell to a mother's ovum. The procedure was performed to compensate for the mother's infertility problems, but one British expert said at the time that the procedure was of dubious medical value and fraught with ethical concerns.
5. Genetically Modified Crops
As with animal cloning, the debate over genetically modified (GM) crops often comes down to varying governmental or international regulations, as well as debates between scientists, lawmakers, farmers and agribusinesses. There are strong arguments to be made for GM crops, particularly from a humanitarian perspective. For example, in August 2010, a team of British scientists announced that they had decoded the wheat genome, allowing for a greater understanding of how to grow and manage wheat crops but also opening the door for potential customization of a wheat crop's DNA, which would allow it, for example, to thrive in environments affected by climate change.
In Europe, concern about the impact of GM crops, along with a raft of overlapping regulations — from the European Union, the World Trade Organization and varying national law codes — has allowed only a few GM foods to come to market.
The main virtue of GM food is that it can be "designed" to have certain built-in features. For example, a corn variety could produce a chemical that kills a certain fungus. However, activists and some scientists worry that GM food could produce unintended side effects, such as wiping out indigenous strains of crops or somehow proving harmful to human health. As of now, however, no scientific consensus exists stating that GM food is dangerous.
In the United States, GM crops have found greater acceptance, but their place is still tenuous. In August 2010, a federal judge revoked approval of GM sugar beets, which had, until that point, represented 95 percent of all sugar beets in the country.
6. Animal Cloning
The seminal day in the history of animal clothing is, undoubtedly, July 5, 1996, when Dolly the sheep was born (although the event wasn't announced until the following year). Before Dolly, no mammal had been cloned from adult DNA. Earlier cloning efforts had used embryonic cells: By splitting two-cell embryos apart, scientists caused two genetically identical organisms to develop, a process that had been successfully performed almost a century earlier with both sea urchins and salamanders.
Since Dolly, scientists have cloned numerous other types of animals, including horses, rats, deer, cats, pigs and mice. In May 2010, a Spanish breeder of fighting bulls produced, for the first time, a cloned bull to serve as a stud. The seeming ease — and increasing availability — of animal cloning has raised a host of difficult questions. Should we only clone less intelligent animals? Should we clone beloved pets? Should cloned animals be allowed to reproduce and enter the food supply? Should we try to use cloning to save endangered species, to "improve" animals or to resurrect extinct species? Will cloning imperil biodiversity?
Some governments have addressed these questions via legislation — in the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration regulates animal cloning — but science and economics may have, to an extent, outstripped policy. As of summer 2010, meat from cloned livestock had found its way to market in several European countries, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture had outlined a framework for allowing the sale of cloned meat (from certain animals) in the U.S..
7. Genetic Engineering in Animals
Use of animals for scientific and medical testing has long been controversial, so it's of little surprise that genetic engineering — which often intersects with the world of genetically modified foods — has attracted similar scrutiny. The FDA defines genetic engineering of animals as "a targeted and powerful method of introducing desirable traits into animals using recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology". That's a broad definition, reflecting the many ways in which scientists have experimented with animal DNA over the last couple of decades — whether it's making pigs glow in the dark (scientists injected embryos with a fluorescent protein) or developing salmon that gain weight much faster than their non-modified brethren. (As of late August 2010, the FDA was considering whether to grant approval to a company called AquaBounty Technologies to sell one such salmon to consumers.)
But as with genetically modified foods, the genetic engineering of animals carries a host of potential complications, including fears of harming biodiversity, worries about effects on human health and ethical concerns over experimenting with healthy animals. When a French researcher created a glow-in-the-dark rabbit, protesters said that the experiment was both abusive and of little scientific value. Greenpeace in particular has warned of the unintended consequences of genetically modifying animals and says that their release into the wild would constitute a dangerous "genetic pollution". Yet proponents say that we could genetically engineer livestock to produce less waste or to make better organ-donor candidates for humans, as some animal parts are already used in various transplant procedures.
8. Gene Therapy and Jesse Gelsinger
Gene therapy is predicated on the radical notion that people with genetic disorders can be cured — or, at least, their conditions improved — by having new genes inserted into their DNA. Generally these therapies are applied to disorders for which there is no cure, or for which current treatments have been insufficient or only marginally successful. There have been some successes in the field but also a number of tragic failures. One type of gene therapy has cured patients of rare genetic disorders, but in several cases also caused them to develop leukemia.
The most infamous gene-therapy trial involved an 18-year-old patient named Jesse Gelsinger, who died in 1999 less than a week after receiving treatment for OTCD, a rare metabolic disorder affecting the liver. His death shocked researchers and has become associated with the perils of this nascent field.
But some new types of gene therapy are showing promise. One therapy involves placing needed genes into a cell — rather than inserting proteins into a patient's DNA — where they can still produce vital proteins that can cure or arrest a condition. In November 2009, a group of French researchers announced positive results in altering the gene therapy method that caused some patients to develop cancer; in this case, they successfully treated several children with ALD, a degenerative nerve disorder that's fatal within five years.
9. Henrietta Lacks and HeLa Cells
Henrietta Lacks died of cervical cancer in 1951, but her name has become associated with an immortal line of cells known as HeLa cells (the name derives from the first two letters of the patient's first and last names). Unbeknownst to Lacks, a doctor at Johns Hopkins University took a sample of her tumor, later offering it to researchers who saw the cells continue to multiply in culture — up to this day. It was the first instance of a successfully established "immortal" cell line, although scientists remain baffled why the HeLa cells survived whereas others didn't.
Since then, HeLa cells have been used in a number of groundbreaking medical experiments, such as the development of the polio vaccine and cloning studies. But the remarkable story of the HeLa cell line has been marred by some of the conditions surrounding it. First, Henrietta Lacks never gave permission for her cells to be given to researchers, nor were she or her family notified that they had. For decades, her family members were unaware of the role her cells were playing in medical science, nor had they benefited financially from the medical breakthroughs (and enormous revenues) associated with HeLa cells. Many of Lacks's relatives were poor and lacking in 2education; one of her sons has been homeless for decades.
In February 2010, journalist Rebecca Skloot published a book, "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," which combined the various stories surrounding the HeLa cell line with extensive research into Lacks' life. The book was hailed by critics for humanizing an unintentional and forgotten heroine of science and for serving as a reminder that medical research cannot be divorced from respecting and honoring the human subjects who often make it possible.
Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment
From 1932 to 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service studied the effects of syphilis in black men in Tuskegee, Alabama, but provided inadequate or no treatment. The notorious experiment led to the adoption of new, stricter ethical standards for medical studies
10. Human-Animal Hybrid Research
At least two U.S. states — Arizona and Louisiana — have passed laws banning human-animal hybrids, and though these have provided fodder for some satirists, they are actually based in reality. Human-animal hybrids are already here. In 2004, scientists at the famed Mayo Clinic produced pigs that had human blood. The previous year, Chinese scientists bonded human cells to rabbit eggs, though the embryos were soon destroyed.
These sorts of combinatory specimens are called chimeras, calling to mind the mythical Greek creature composed of a lion's head, goat's body and snake's tail. However, don't expect to see centaurs — horses with human torsos — roaming your neighborhood anytime soon. Most human-animal hybrid research focuses on less dramatic experiments, such as adding a few human genes to a pig to produce better heart valves for transplant into humans (a procedure that's long been a standard medical practice). Still, many bioethicists, and some lawmakers, worry that we are crossing a line, tampering unnecessarily with animals or not setting adequate standards for what should and should not be done.
A National Ban?
In 2009, Senator Sam Brownback proposed the Human-Animal Hybrid Protection Act, but it has yet to be considered by the full Senate.

To celebrate, I'm going to share phone photos of my favorite summer lipsticks later in this post. No swatches or anything, just bleh pics of them in their tubes because I'm lame. All I have are really shitty quality iPhone selfies I've sent Madeline because she is my lipstick friend, ha.
Anyhoo, that was a lot of words to tell you I love lipstick. In fact, a year before this (relatively new) obsession kicked in and the RBL Emoting Me collection came out, Smile was giving me lipstick vibes. Buying my own bottle and having it in my hands only reinforced this idea, so that's why I'm posting it today.
I fucking love this color. It's bright, bold, and just so happy. I wish I could find it in lipstick form. I'm already betting it would make my teeth look whiter ...
Three coats with SV.
Swooooon. Yes, there are hints of a golden shimmer in the bottle, but they're practically imperceptible on the nail. Laaaame. Good thing this reddish coral is so beautiful on its own!
Formula and application were great, RBL at its best. Nothing weird here. It's opaque in two coats, but I used three thin coats because I am an obsessive three-coater. Dry time is good, and I wore this for three days with no chips, just some miniscule tip wear. Because of the pearly shimmer, it looks semi-matte without top coat; even with SV, it dulled after a day. Didn't bother me, though.
I can't believe the RBL Emoting Me collection was two summers ago. Isn't that wild? Smile is still available for $20 on the Rescue Beauty site, or you could take your chances and try to score it via blog sale. If you like reds and corals, this little baby is a must-have in your stash!
Speaking of stashes, here's a really tame look at some of my really tame stash. Forgive the shitty photos. I'm just excited and I wanted to share *something* because I love that I've been able to wear lipstick more often these last few months!
- NARS Dragon Girl - Duh. And okay, technically not a tube lipstick, but it's perfect. I got this to wear for Steff's wedding last year upon my MUA's suggestion and it still KILLS. I really had to twist Madeline's arm (no, I didn't) to get her to buy it for her birthday in May, and once she put it on, she sent me a very excited text saying something like, "THIS IS THE NICEST THING I EVER PUT ON MY FACE." Truth. It's a little pricey and I will have to get a NARS sharpener soon, but damn if it's not hella gorgeous. I barely have to touch up whenever I wear it, which is how you know this pencil is too fabulous and worth the $26. I'm dying for the 413 BLKR pencil but I'm soooooo stoked that the mini Cruella pencil is the Sephora BI birthday gift! I can't wait to pick up mine in September.
- MAC Viva Glam Miley Cyrus - Probably the greatest thing Miley will ever give us. (And that includes "Party in the U.S.A.") SUCH a flattering pink! It's one of MAC's amplified cream finishes and so it's not a true matte, but who cares. While I didn't buy the lip glass, I've seen it on other gals, and the combination of this lipstick + that glass is just too beautiful. Grab the lipstick (or the glass) while you can. I might be hoarding a back up tube ...
- NYX Matte Shocking Pink - Photo fail. This is decidedly quite orchid in the tube, but don't let that scare you! Its blue/violet undertones are so pronounced that I'm not sure that this this looks as good on me as other colors do, but I still like it a lot. However, my two NYX Mattes (this + Street Cred) tend to dry out my lips and flake within a couple of hours, even with primer (also currently NYX!), which is probably why I don't reach for them as much as my other drugstore brands. I've wearing this one a lot this summer so I can try to figure out what's the deal.
- L'Oréal Colour Riche Freida's Red - More of a fuchsia? magenta? than red red on me, but stupid gorgeous. I wore this to Anna's wedding and it hung on really well, given the circumstances (I stuffed my face and I also had to use my UD Ozone as primer instead of liner, which is not my preferred use for my Ozone pencil -- I like it better as an outer lip line barrier). It's very creamy and pigmented, which always makes removal interesting at the end of the night. I would say it's my favorite so far among the 4 L'Oréal signature reds I got, but I haven't tried the others yet. (I picked up Blake's Red, Julianne's Red, and Liya's Red ... I still need JLo's. Maybe Julianne's Red is in order to try next.) There's a slight powdery? floral? scent to these L'Oréals, the same as the core Colour Riche lipsticks, though strangely it doesn't bother me.
- Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Shocking Coral - The Color Sensational Vivids line probably is one of the best drugstore lipstick lines out there, IMO. Shocking Coral leans more pink and actually needs to be blotted and powdered twice before I can get it as pink as I like it (is that weird?), but it wears beautifully. (I knew I would stan this line after wearing this to $2 Burger Night at a local bar and it still looked good. Even B was impressed.) This particular shade was one of my favorites from last summer! You can pick it up when there's a Maybelline sale or you could drag yourself to Walmart and get it for way cheaper than a regular drugstore price (that's what I did).
- Wet n Wild Silk Finish Nouveau Pink - Totally smells like a grandma lipstick if you know what I mean, but the color is to die for and it's easy to put on. The only thing I really hate it about it is the packaging design on the new, redesigned tube -- UGH @ the bottom of that curvy cap! If the cap breaks or won't stay on, you're kind of fucked. At least it's cheap (99 cents!). I got this tube in January, and it was one of my favorite colors this past winter.
- Wet n Wild Mega Last Purty Persimmon - Another rec from Madeline last fall when I was in the market for an orange-leaning red. I know I just praised the Maybelline Vivids line, but the WnW Mega Last line is without a doubt THE BEST lipstick you're gonna get for your money. The range of colors is fantastic, so for $1.99 you can try out a shade without breaking the bank (especially when there's a BOGO half off sale or a 99-cent sale). My absolute favorite core color in this line is Sugar Plum Fairy, but that's more of a fall/winter lip for me.
- Wet n Wild Mega Last Sunset Siren - This was LE last fall with a few other matte shades, but honestly, it needs to be a permanent shade because it's so damn good. The pigmentation and staying power for the Mega Lasts generally are pretty good, but this LE matte is so fucking insane that it has no business being 49 cents (which is what I paid for it on clearance last year). This picture makes it look a lot like WnW Mega Last Cherry Picking, but trust me, Sunset Siren is more of a neutral red IRL. Bold, but not that deep of a red. Loooove.
Thank you so much for reading! I know I dropped off the face of the earth for a few months there and I have no idea what the next few weeks or months will bring, but as nice as that five-month break was, it's nicer to be posting again. Next month is going to be bonkers because I'll be traveling a lot (ofc my summer gears up just as the season starts winding down), so I'll try to get a handful of posts together for y'all. Sound good? I'll see you guys next week!
P.S. No, I did not wear OCC Technopagan to my best friend's mom's housewarming because I forgot to take it with me to B's. #fail Instead, I wore NARS Dragon Girl (surpriiiiiiiiiise! Not.) and it was bomb. My friend's mom said I looked like I was "on the prowl," haha. I suppose that's fitting, given the name "dragon girl." But Technopagan will happen as soon as I can pony up for my favorite makeup remover (Lancôme Bi-Facil -- I know it's for eye makeup, but it removes lipstick better than the Neutrogena wipes!) and an angled brush.
