What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
I'm not going to start this article by banging on about how I love pop music and fragrances and how celebrity scents are a natural extension of that. We've been over that a hundred times, so I'll spare you, this time around.
I think I've made my point, seeing as all of these beauty publicists keep telling me that they know me as the guy who loves celebrity fragrances. I'll take it! I've been known for worse.
This fall, we're getting a whole slew of new pop star fragrances and I couldn't be more excited. All the girls are hitting us with new scents and of course I tried them all. You knew this was coming.
Ari by Ariana Grande, $59.00
Lover of donuts, hater of America, and apparent crusader against childhood obesity, Ariana Grande, has solidified her place in pop music the same way all other pop icons have done: by releasing her own fragrance.
I can't think too hard about Ariana Grande because I'll pass out. She fascinates me in ways that no other artist does. All that hair! The high pony! Those pipes! I often wonder if she's an actual human, or some perfect pop robot that's come to give us great performances and steal our hearts. I also wonder if we could share clothes.
Ari is built like a standard celebrity perfume: fruit, florals, musks, no surprises there. Raspberry, pear, and grapefruit open the scent with a big burst of fruity sweetness. Lily of the valley, rose, and orchid take up the middle, which are a nice change from the typical heart notes made up of just white florals. At the base, we've got wood, musk, and marshmallow. You read that right. MARSHMALLOW.
Base notes are usually made up of musks, woods, leathers, ambers, tobacco, shit like that, to anchor the fragrance and temper any sugary sweetness at the top to make it tolerable for extended wear. Ari comes through with a damn marshmallow at the base to ensure that the scent stays sweet all day long, and it does.
The scent is housed in a beveled bottle, sort of reminiscent of the first Jimmy Choo fragrance, with A FLUFFY LITTLE POM POM ON THE SIDE.
Even the bottle is accessorized. Everything about this fragrance is perfect. I want to die.
When I saw Ari in concert a few months ago, a mom mistook me for her brother, Frankie Grande. Nope, just another gay guy with pink hair, sorry to disappoint.
RiRi by Rihanna, $60.00
One thing you may not know about me is that I love a good urban legend or conspiracy theory. Rihanna's next album has become a little of both. We know it exists, somewhere. Or at least, we think it does. She's been previewing snippets for almost an entire year. We've heard about it from producers and collaborators. We've seen some of the visuals. But the album is starting to join the ranks of the Loch Ness Monster, Biggie's killer, and that Malaysian plane, because no one knows where the hell it is.
Retired singer Rihanna has been hustling hard all year, album or no album. Putting out a few singles, videos, the Bitch Better Have My Money video, a Fendi collaboration, starring in the major motion picture "Home," becoming the face of Dior, acting as the creative director of Puma, and a sock collaboration with Stance Socks (???). Oh, and this fragrance!
RiRi is tropical, boozy, and sensual. Passion fruit and rum open the scent with a syrupy sweetness, which is softened at its heart by freesia, jasmine, honeysuckle, and orange blossom. The base notes include, take a guess: vanilla, woods, and musk.
I'd venture to say that RiRi is Rihanna's fruitiest scent yet, but the pairing of passion fruit and rum make for a darker, more intriguing duo than red fruits or citrus that we're used to seeing. It wears nicely all day, but feels like more of a night scent, I think.
The Pinkprint by Nicki Minaj, $37.50
A few weeks ago, I was in Philadelphia for Jay-Z's Made In America music festival. I went to Meek Mill's set, for some reason (basically hoping he'd bring out the rapper that is infinitely more skilled and more successful than him, Nicki Minaj, who he also happens to be dating.) We were standing in the crowd, patience waning, when the beat dropped to their summer hit "All Eyes On You" and out walked Nicki Minaj.
I haven't been the same since.
So here's the thing about Nicki Minaj's fragrances, a lot of them are really good, and not even in terms of celebrity scents. Celebrity fragrances can be good, OK?! And Nicki Minaj proves that.
Nicki continues to build her empire with her fourth fragrance named after her third album, The Pinkprint. At the top, you'll find passion fruit, grapefruit, and bergamot. The middle of the scent is made up of rose, heliotrope, orange blossom, frangipani, and nectarine. The fragrance is locked down at its base with woods, patchouli, musk, and coconut.
It's a sparkling, airy fragrance that's equal parts flower and fruit. The floral middle helps to balance the citrusy top, and the woods and musk keep things breezy throughout wear. Of these three fragrances, The Pinkprint is the standout because it's the most interesting and wearable. It really is so, so good.
What are you wearing this fall? What fragrances should I check out? You guys always have such good recs, so I'm all ears. Let's talk in the comments!

he aim of Yoga is to become more aware of oneself and to find a way to inner peace, harmony and a sense of unity. In order to come closer to such a state it has been determined that especially in the West it is more meaningful to initially bring the body to the centre of attention. The mind needs a focus and feelings need a concrete point of reference which they can refer to.
In this context the physical positions (asanas) in Yoga, which we instruct in the classes, fulfill different objectives. For one they keep the body healthy and fit, but because of their complexity they require so much concentration to be carried out correctly, that there is no time for distracting thoughts. This implicit concentration on the moment has a very relaxing effect on the mind. At the same time the body is challenged at the appropriate level to expand its abilities and possibilities at every age.
For such experiences the Yogazentrum Akazienhof offers a variety of classes at different levels. In the beginner classes basic aspects of the Yoga asanas are taught and expanded on in future classes. In the intermediate and advanced level classes more complex asanas are added, positions are held longer and the work becomes more differentiated as body awareness matures. In the background there is always the goal to improve the ability to concentrate, thereby allowing for deeper levels of relaxation.
We also offer

And They Shall Lead...
Seated before an audience at the Baghdad Convention Center, the 25 members of Iraq's new Governing Council looked, at first glance, like an admirable exercise in representative nation-building. It was the council's unveiling, and its members traded jokes and whispered into one another's ears. Here were hard-line fundamentalists sitting next to doctrinaire communists, rural chiefs mingling with sheiks in robes and turbans; a mix of Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites; an Assyrian, a Turkoman and three women. At the council's first meeting on July 13, Dr. Raja Khurzai, the head of a local maternity hospital, was dropped off at the Baghdad Convention Center by her husband. Kurdish leader Masood Barzani rolled up in a motorcade of 17 vehicles spilling out bodyguards and minions.
L. Paul Bremer III, the top American civil administrator who had a large hand in picking the council, originally envisioned a simple advisory group--but the Iraqis argued for, and apparently won, a more authoritative, decision-making role for themselves. Now they've got it, at least on paper: the council will be able to appoint government ministers, run the de-Baathification campaign and start drafting a new constitution to pave the way for eventual elections. But the council's most pressing task will be to prove its legitimacy to the Iraqi people. Until that happens, it may be considered more of a U.S. public-relations ploy than the start of a new Iraq run by Iraqis.
The group's first step will be to overcome their widely differing backgrounds. "When you have a guy with an Islamist head-cap sitting next to a communist," said Jassim Al Hilfi, a leading member of the Communist Party who sat in on some of the early meetings, "well, it's an experiment." There's a lot at stake and not much time to lose. "They understand this is their one shot to get things going in the right direction, and they don't want to screw it up," says one Coalition official who is working with the council.
There are plenty who'd like to see them fail. A Shiite firebrand, Muqtada al-Sadr in Kufa, north of Najaf, is already calling for the creation of an Islamic army and a "council of the righteous." One recent poll conducted by the Iraq Center for Research and Strategic Studies found that 85 percent of Iraqis don't believe that the political parties represent their opinions. Even so, moderate, educated Iraqis seem willing to give the body a chance. What choice do they have? Events are spinning out of control. Unemployment is 60 percent; water and electricity are frequently disrupted. Saddam is on the radio. And for the first time last week, a top American military commander, Gen. John Abizaid, conceded that Saddam's followers are waging a classical guerrilla war.
As with all deliberative bodies, the council is sure to have some problems reaching a consensus. Some so-called local Iraqis on the body have little political or administrative experience and may be out of their depth on some issues. "Sometimes the local members look a little stunned," said the Iraqi source. "Bremer brought two of the women delegates to a meeting on economic policy and you could see they had no idea what the experts were talking about." They'll need to learn and act fast to put Iraq on the road to self-governance.

Quick Reference
(19 Jan. 973–July 974)
Nothing is known of his background except that he was a Roman, son of a Hildebrand who became a monk, and was cardinal priest of S. Teodoro when he was elected. The exact date and circumstances of his election are obscure, but the increasingly dominant Crescentii family strongly backed a candidate of its own, the deacon Franco. Benedict, however, had the support of both the imperial party and, in all probability, of reforming circles opposed to a purely political appointment. He must have been elected in Sept. or Oct. 972; the delay in proceeding to his consecration was caused by the necessity, under the Ottonian privilege of 962, of obtaining the authorization of Emperor Otto I (962–73), then in Germany.
For the moment the Crescentii had to swallow their disappointment. Benedict embarked on policies characteristic of the Ottonian papacy, confirming the precedence of Trier as the oldest see in Germany, favouring reforming monasteries, and strictly forbidding bishops to charge fees for ordinations and consecrations. The death of Otto, however, on 7 May 973, fatally undermined his position in faction-riven Rome, and a year later, at a juncture when the new emperor, Otto II (973–83), was preoccupied with troubles in Germany, a nationalist party arose against him, led by the consul Crescentius I (d. 984), son of Theodora the Younger (d. c.950), and head of the Crescentian clan. Although concrete evidence is sparse, it is likely that the Byzantines, anxious to exploit the crisis in the empire and to overthrow German sovereignty in Italy, had a hand in the revolt. In June 974 Benedict was seized by the rebels and imprisoned in Castel Sant'Angelo to await trial. Nothing is known of the process or of the charges brought against him, but the deacon Franco was hastily elected and consecrated pope with the name Boniface VII. The imperial representative, Count Sicco of Spoleto, hurried to Rome in July and peremptorily demanded Benedict's release, but in vain. Boniface had him strangled by a priest named Stephen, probably judging that his own title to the holy see would look more credible if its legitimate tenant were out of the way.
Two privileges purporting to emanate from Benedict VI and to settle a dispute between Archbishop Frederick of Salzburg and Bishop Piligrim of Passau over jurisdiction in Hungary have been shown to be forgeries.

This year's ornament represents the Truman Study which honors President Harry S. Truman, who used this room as his presidential office from 1948 to 1952. Blair House became the official temporary residence for President and Mrs. Truman, and the adjoining Lee House was used as office and meeting space for the president and his cabinet while the White House underwent a complete renovation.
This second in a series of annual Blair House ornaments was commissioned and sponsored by the Blair House Restoration Fund, a charitable organization whose mission to preserve and enhance the beautiful rooms, gardens and fine arts collection of Blair House is supported by generous contributions from the private sector, and through the sale of our Blair House ornaments.
Blair House is not open to the public, but each new keepsake will give you a unique glimpse into the interior of the home highlighting its history and exquisite decor.
The 2016 Blair House ornament, the first in the ornament series, features one of the most heritage-rich rooms of the house -- The Lincoln Room, a room that served as the study of Francis Preston Blair, patriarch of the Blair Family, who met there frequently with President Abraham Lincoln and other American presidents.
All proceeds from the sale of this and future ornaments will benefit Blair House.

With so many options available, shopping for a natural lip balm product may be difficult. If you are not sure which natural ingredients you should be looking for in their formulas, we present 4 great natural ingredients for lip balms.
1. Beeswax
Beeswax is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, an anti-oxidant, and contains Vitamin A. This moisturizing ingredient is also a great emulsifier, locking the moisture in and preventing dry, cracked lips. Many lip balm products contain beeswax for its ability to soothe pain caused by dryness or dehydration. Moreover, beeswax helps created a protective layer on your lips that can shield them from harmful UV rays.
2. Shea Butter
A variety of lip balms contain shea butter for good reasons. Shea butter can help protect the skin of the lips from the sun and damaging free radicals, resulting in moisturized lips and preventing dryness. Plus, shea butter contains important antioxidants such as vitamins E and A, which also help protect the lips from the free radical damage that can make them look prematurely aged, thin, or lined.
3. Vitamin E
A well-known antioxidant, vitamin E is included in many lip balm products is for its abilities to prevent skin cell damage caused by free radicals. Beyond its effects as an antioxidant, vitamin E also is believed to protect skin from damage directly caused by ultraviolet rays.
4. Honey
A popular ingredient for lip balms, honey has the ability to help lips retain moisture, preventing dry and cracked lips. It acts as a moisture barrier, protecting the lips from exterior factors that would strip the skin of their natural moisture. In addition to keeping lips moisturized, honey has natural antibacterial properties and can also provide protection against infectious agents.

Analysis of multiple enteric viral targets as sewage markers in coral reefs
Marine Pollution Bulletin
- By:
- Erin K. Lipp, J. Carrie Futch, and Dale W. Griffin
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
Water and coral mucus samples were collected from throughout the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and the Dry Tortugas for three years and were analyzed for human enteric viruses (enteroviruses, noroviruses, hepatitis A virus and adenoviruses) as conservative markers of human sewage using molecular methods. Of the 100 coral and water samples collected, 40 contained genetic material from one or more human enteric viruses. DNA-based adenoviruses were detected widely, in 37.8% of samples and at 91% of stations, including 'pristine' reefs in the Dry Tortugas; however, the detection rate was ⩽12% for the RNA-based enteroviruses and noroviruses (hepatitis A virus was never detected). The disparity between the prevalence of RNA- and DNA-based viruses suggests the need for additional work to determine the utility of adenovirus as marker of human sewage.

Should You Refinance Your Home?
With the United States mortgage rates below 6%, and staying there it may be a good time to consider whether or not you should refinance your home.
There are numerous benefits to refinancing but also some negatives that you will want to consider, especially if you plan on refinancing your home for more and taking out some of your equity.
Should You Refinance Your Home Now?
Here are some reasons to consider refinancing your home:
- If you bought your home when interest rates were significantly higher it could lower your payments and save you money
- If your credit was bad at the time you bought your home you may have paid a higher interest rate. Good credit can help you get the best mortgage rates.
- If you have an adjustable rate mortgage then it is a good time to get out from under that.At some point the interest rates will begin to climb again.
- If you have private mortgage insurance on your home you may be able to drop that expense with a mortgage loan refinance.
- If you have a 30 year mortgage term, with the lower interest rates you may be able to switch to a 15 year mortgage and pay a similar, or even lower, payment. This will get your home paid off quicker.
- If you have significant equity in your home and have a lot of high interest bearing debt, student loans, or want to do some upgrades on your home then refinancing for a higher amount to allow debt consolidation may be a great idea. If you do this you must be careful that you don't fall back into the credit card trap.
When NOT to Refinance Your Home
You should not consider refinancing your home if any of the following apply:
- You plan on moving in the next two years. If this is the case you should consider a Home Equity Line of Credit, or a HELOC. Refinancing will cost you several thousand dollars in closing costs, money you will not make back if you move too soon. I will discuss Helocs a little later in this article.
- If your credit is worse than it was when you got the original mortgage on your home. It will be harder to find low interest rates.
- If you have any doubts don't do it!
- Never refinance because debt collectors are pushing you to do so. This is their job.
Remember that when you "roll your debt" into your home loan you are basically trading unsecured debt for secured debt. In other words, if you are having credit problems and are having difficulty paying for your car you may get your car repossessed. However, if you pay off your car with the equity from your home,and then can't pay the bill you run the risk of losing your house. Be wise.
Refinancing Tips
Refinancing is similar to applying for a home mortgage loan. Your credit will be checked and your debt to income ratio will be examined closely. There will be another appraisal on your home as well. You may have several loan options available to you so talk to your loan counselor. You may also be able to choose point options.
If your credit is good you may be able to find a no closing cost mortgage refinance that has no fees associated with it. If you are not able to get one of those be sure to at least ask your lender to waive fees for things like:
- appraisal
- title
- insurance
- lawyer
- recording fee

What About A HELOC?
A HELOC is a Home Equity Line of Credit. If you have been in your home for awhile and built up equity you can borrow against your equity for a lower interest rate than you would get with your credit card. There are no closing costs with the HELOC but the interest rate is higher than with the mortgage refinance loan and the rate can go higher depending on the prime interest rate.
If you want to put your home on the market but need the funds to fix it up before you sell then a HELOC is a great tool to use. Some other times that you may want to use a HELOC rather than refinancing your home are:
- Debt consolidation-but only if you are not going to use credit cards again. Most people who use HELOC's to get out of high interest debt continue to use the cards and find themselves in a worse position within a few years.
- If you are planning on adding something that will ultimately pay for itself; insulation, solar panels, etc.
- If you have a serious need and cannot get it financed any other way.
Be careful. By getting a HELOC you are using your home as collateral and risking it.
Money Smart
Be money smart. Use the interest rates and slow market right now to your financial advantage if you can. Be careful, however, not to risk what you all ready have.

Hey everyone! I've got a problem here that I wanted to see if I can get some input on. This will be the third year for our pool. We noticed some "bubbling" of the paint along the bottom and when we investigated further it seems there is a line that is about 2" to 2 1/2" from the bottom track up that is starting to rust. Including the uprights. (The bottom track doesn't seem to be affected.) We were thinking we should brush off all the bubbles and rust and coat with rustoleum paint. Is this the right course of action, or will it even help at this point. Any other suggestions on what we should do? I'll attach a couple of pix.
Thanks everyone!

I came crashing out from deep inside the dark and frightening 'closet' in a blaze of publicity, with the Israel Supreme Court's precedent-making decision that gay people have rights too. I won!
I now live a calm burgeoise life in Tel Aviv with my partner of 32 years. Civil rights, animal rights, gay rights, politics, bridge and socializing fill my days. Writing "Flying Colors" was a fulfilling journey - I hope you enjoy the flight too.
Review by:
Ron Poole-Dayan
on June 05, 2012 :
This is a fascinating one-of-its-kind book, written by a man with an incredible life story. Several story lines combine to encompass Jonathan's multiple dimensioned personal history: coming to terms with his sexuality, experiencing Apartheid, traveling the world as an airline attendant, living through momentous historical periods in Israel's history, fighting a courageous legal and civil rights battle... The book provides fascinating insights into the life of a gay man during the second part of the 20th century, evolving on his own while societies around him are not evolving fast enough. Jonathan may not be the typical rebel, but he politely yet firmly stands up against injustice, becoming the unlikely hero of the Israel gay rights movements. In between he finds himself involved in sexual adventures and romance, under terrorist attack, and experiencing mid-air emergencies... The book is enjoyable, inspiring and memorable.

"Flying Colors" reads like an enjoyable tale of suspense. It is about a man who starts his life off not knowing his own true identity. When his homosexuality stares him in the face, he slams the door shut on his discovery. Even though he stoically refuses to acknowledge his homosexuality and struggles against it with all his might, he cannot escape his destiny. The reader remains in suspense as to whether he will ever let himself live his life fully or opt for a life of self-denial.
There are several additional stories entwined around the central theme affording us fascinating insights into the life of a white Jewish family in South Africa during apartheid times, the life of flight attendants, Israel and the struggle for equal rights for gays.
Jonathan's progression from passive paralysis to pro-activity at the forefront of the fight for civil rights for gays is truly inspiring.

If you've got fifteen minutes to spare, we highly recommend watching this video by Rory Sutherland. His "Life Lessons from an Ad Man" are essential for anyone in entrepreneurship, and happen to be hysterical. By the end of the week, that's how I prefer my wisdom – seasoned with humor and salty British wit.
Rory is funny, insightful and absolutely right. He discusses that what we perceive as valuable may not be intrinsically so – we've just been conditioned to believe it is. This is something that applies to how we market what we sell. If we can change how consumers interpret the value of a product, we can change purchase decisions. And if we are able to do that, we can create higher demand for our products. My favorite example he used to demonstrate this, is the potato.
For the cliff notes version, Rory Sutherland took us through a brief anecdote about Frederick the Great of Prussia. He had wanted the Germans to adopt the potato as an additional crop, but they refused, claiming that their dogs wouldn't even eat them. In a stroke of brilliance, Frederick declared the potato as a "royal vegetable." He instructed guards to stand watch on the royal potato patch – but not too closely. Peasants ransacked the crop to steal potatoes, and soon enough they were growing the vegetables in secret. What Frederick the Great had effectively done was rebrand the potato. Before, the Germans claimed it was too ugly to eat. Now they were orchestrating underground crops to harvest.
It's genius. And it brings up an interesting idea – that all value "is perceived value." Essentially, you can rebrand and create demand for your product, your company, and yourself. It doesn't have to be revolutionary. You just have to help people think it is.

Yes I know. It's not even October yet. But my local supermarket already has Christmas chocolates in stock (who keeps choc in the house for three months without eating it??) and I've heard stories of places already putting trees and Christmas cards on sale. Give it a couple more years and they'll start draping the tinsel over the Easter eggs I reckon.
However, I am mentioning it now in case you fancy buying one of my really quite odd colouring books as a pressie for someone really quite odd that you know/love/like/want to punish.
Colgeroons has 21 unique A4-sized pictures to colour in.
It's somewhat of a departure from other, more traditional colouring books. For a start, there are no secret gardens or mandala covered elephants. And there are no cute and fluffy mammals or pretty birdies. There are, however, alien Mona Lisas, headless scientists, interplanetary wedding photos and rude gnomes. But not too rude (it's suitable for kids).
You can order direct from me for just £12 (that includes P&P).
Or, to make it extra special, for just £25 (price includes P&P) I'll sign your copy, dedicate it to whoever the book is for and draw a unique doodle of your choice inside! So if you want to give someone a book containing a drawing of a T Rex riding a unicycle juggling four kippers - this is the gift for you!
Unique artwork and a colouring book for the price of a takeaway? And for just over a quid a page? You'd be mad not to.
Just email me at email@example.com and tell me what you want doodled and who the book is for. Then use that same email address to deposit the money in my Paypal account and the book will be on its way. You can also pay by money transfer or cheque - email for details.
Go on. Treat yourself.
Or don't.

This bill should be coupled with those to reverse the Citizen's United decision and institute public financing; however, we should not wait.
Nations all over the world elect their leaders is surprisingly (and refreshingly) short periods of time. This reduces the distraction of representatives from their public duties, public division and rancor, and the overall money spent on elections, which are enormous problems in U.S. election customs, which are trending to ever-longer campaign seasons.
The campaign season should be defined in two ways. First, periods during which donations may be solicited or received in any manner and second, the period in which the candidate announces and runs for public office. These periods should also vary based on office, since the terms differ.
The first period, for fund-raising, which would be eliminated once public financing was in place, should be one year for the President or Senators and six months for representatives.
The second period, for public campaigning, should be nine months for the President, six months for Senators and four months for Representatives.
Op-ed Guidelines
Please bring up points that were missed, elaborate on issues not fleshed out, add ways to make the idea/bill better, suggest a companion for GREATER Raters to consider. Please check your facts, grammar, syntax, punctuation, credit sources and quotes, and keep it under 500 words unless you absolutely cannot—then never more than 700 words. Please keep your criticism constructive. We will likely not print destructive criticism although a well written partisan rant bringing up new issues in the idea/bill or previous Op-eds may be accepted if it ends on a constructive note—especially if it offers an alternative idea/bill.
Shorter "letters" are encouraged that bring a new facet to the subject. The intent of the Op-eds is to fully cover the issue for the kind reader to consider before rating, and not waste their time with redundancy or the dreaded—"people-screaming-at-one-another-while-wearing-earplugs-syndrome." Think of the idea/bill as the base with the Op-eds stacked on top to form a structurally sound argument. The goal here is to have a GREATER US for the greatest number of citizens/neighbors. We may publish your piece without notice—so please only submit completed articles. We may, also, contact you for a rewrite or edit. We might even offer suggestions. It is our intention to fairly present the views of fiscal conservatives, independents, and social liberals—to find the overlap of whole-hearted support (nonpartisan) plus the commonality of the "I-can-live-with-that" (bipartisan).

Wanganui District Council is considering pumping untreated waste directly into the sea if a new plan to deal with the stench coming from the sewage treatment plant is unsuccessful.
The foul smell has been afflicting parts of the city since before Christmas and resulted in the council being issued with an abatement notice for breaching the regional air plan.
Mayor Annette Main said the plan now is to spread a slurry of lime on the surface of the sewage ponds which would suppress the odour within hours.
If that does not work, she said, untreated waste may have to be discharged into the sea.
James Newell of the Wanganui Surf Lifeguard Service says he does not have a problem with that, as long as it is a short-term measure.
He said it should not affect beaches to the north of the outfall, including Castlecliff, and there are fewer people using them now the school holidays are coming to an end.
