Hello lovelies!
It's the middle of the week! Woo! I feel like I've been back to school for a month haha. Today is my first full day at my internship, I'm scheduled to be there for 7 hours! I really need to get some sleep, I'm getting my id picture taken tomorrow and the bags under my eyes are already back in full force D:
Anyways, stop talking! Nail time!
These were the nails that I wore for my first day of classes!
More after the jump:
Here's what I used:
Isn't that Different Dimension's polish just lovely! It's beautiful for a polish based off of The Silence Of The Lambs! I've never watched the movie but I love the book, I think I read it all in 1 day (I really miss having time to read)! This polish also has purple and black stars along with large holo dots, I didn't get any on this nail though.
I'll run through each nail quickly! My index finger is a taped off triangle which I water marbled with but you can't really tell, I finished this with a neon green stud. My middle finger is the Different Dimension polish. My ring finger is a drip design, which I am loving at the moment! And my pinky is the first water marble that I've ever posted on the blog!
I'm aware that the water marble is a bit hard to read with the similar colors and it isn't all that fancy but I want to play around with them some more! Well, I hope you enjoyed this post!

Dr Dre to Sue Sony Over His Depiction in Upcoming 'Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel'le' Biopic
Dr Dre is denies the abusive behavior shown in the upcoming film.
Dr. Dre is reportedly in motions to sue Sony Pictures over a new film about his former girlfriend Michel'le, which depicts him beating her according to new reports from TMZ. The TV movie in question, Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel'le, is set to release this week, but Dre's lawyers have since sent a cease and desist letter to the company threatening legal action. The claim states Michel'le, the mother of one of Dre's children, "never sought medical treatment or filed a police report". Meanwhile, the film is said to show Dr Dre's character punching Michel'le in the face, pulling her hair and pulling a gun on her. A trailer (which can be seen above) for the film shows Dre's character taking hold of Michel'le by the neck and threatening her. Stay tuned.

Ontario needs to help Toronto-area farmers thrive
It's great that the Ontario Greenbelt has added another 400 hectares to its protected ring around the Toronto region. The fields and forests of northern Oakville will now remain untouched by urban sprawl.
But spare a moment for the small-scale farmers who live and work in these protected areas. Lost in the environmental policies that rightly safeguard a huge swath of green space, is a defined plan to help farmers co-exist — even thrive — amid protective rules.
If local agriculture is as important as Premier Dalton McGuinty recently claimed, while announcing plans for a Local Food Act, then the Liberal government must first create stronger protections for its farmers.
They are losing the freedom to flourish, clipped by well-meaning rules from overlapping environmental bodies. No one will argue against the protection of such rich and important land by the Greenbelt Act, the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, the Niagara Escarpment Planning and Development Act and various regional conservation authority laws.
But layers of confusing regulations can impede a farmer's ability to, say, modernize his milk production, erect new buildings or change livestock from cattle to chickens as the market demands. As well, complaints from city folk moving nearby are hampering the use of manure on fields or tractors on busy gridlocked roads.

Peanuts and peanut butter are whole foods that pack a lot of nutrition into just one serving. In the legume or dried bean family, peanuts are a terrific protein source. But the story gets better and better when you consider the significant amounts of the following nutrients found in a single ounce of peanuts.
The peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is a species in the family Fabaceae (commonly known as the bean, pea or legume family).
Because, in botanical terms, "nut" specifically refers to indehiscent fruit, the peanut is not technically a nut, but rather a legume. Peanuts are often served in a similar manner to true nuts in many western cuisines, and are often referred to as a nut in common English.
The peanut was probably first domesticated and cultivated in the valleys of Paraguay. The specific name, hypogaea means "under the earth"; after pollination, the flower stalk elongates, causing it to bend until the ovary touches the ground.
Although the peanut was mainly a garden crop for much of the colonial period of North America, it was mostly used as animal feed stock until the 1930s. In the United States, the US Department of Agriculture initiated a program to encourage agricultural production and human consumption of peanuts in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. George Washington Carver developed hundreds of recipes for peanuts during his tenure in the program.
Health & Nutrition Research
When it comes to eating peanuts, peanut butter, and peanut oil, the research is clear: they benefit our health. Large population studies show that when eaten in small amounts daily, peanuts reduce the risk of many chronic diseases (Sabate, 2006; 2009). Human feeding studies also show that they help manage weight and provide many key nutrients that are important to our diets (Sabate, 2006; 2009).
The myriad of healthy components in peanuts offers natural nutrition to all populations and age groups. You can feel good getting filled up on a crunchy pack of peanuts or a spoonful of peanut butter, knowing that each bite is leading to having a better body and a better diet. Learn more about how peanuts can help your short and long-term health by checking out the disease prevention, weight management, and protective nutrients sections.
Peanut Grading, Shelling and Blanching
At the shelling company buying station, peanuts are sampled and graded by the Federal-State Inspection Service to determine their value. The inspectors establish the meat content, size of pods, kernel size, moisture content, damaged kernels and foreign material. The results of the inspection determine the overall quality and value of each load.
After the peanuts are purchased by the sheller, they are placed in dry storage for eventual sale to processors and manufacturers. At the shelling plant, peanuts are taken from storage and cleaned; dirt, rocks, bits of vines and other debris are removed. If they are to be sold in their shells, the peanuts may also pass through a machine that cuts off any remaining stems on the shells. (About 10% of the peanut crop is sold as in-shell peanuts – usually the Virginia and Valencia types.) To sort for size, the peanuts travel over sizing screens that permit the smaller pods to fall through.
Peanuts to be shelled are placed in slotted drums containing screens of different sizes. Rotating peanuts rub against each other until the shells are opened and the kernels fall out. The kernels are sized on screens that permit the smaller kernels to fall through. The shelled peanuts are cleaned again to remove foreign materials. This is done with density separators, electronic color sorters and by visual inspection to ensure that only the best peanuts reach the market. The peanut kernels are then sized, graded and bagged for market.
From the sheller, peanuts are cleaned again and "blanched" before they are used in most peanut foods. Blanching is simply the removal of the reddish skin covering the kernels. In whole-nut or split-nut dry blanching, the kernels travel through warm air for a period of time to loosen the skins. Then the kernels go through a blanching machine where large rollers rub the surfaces of the kernels until the skins fall off. These kernels are checked with electronic color sorters to ensure that blanching is complete.
Selection & Storage
Peanuts can be available in the markets year around. In the stores, different forms; shelled, unshelled, salted, sweetened etc can be found for purchase. Try to buy unshelled (intact outer shell) nuts instead of processed ones. They generally available in the airtight packs as well as in bulk bins. The pods should feature compact, off white color healthy-looking shell, uniform in size, and feel heavy in hand. They should be free from cracks, mold, and spots and free of rancid smell.
Unshelled groundnuts can be placed in cool dry place for many months, whereas shelled (without the shell) nuts should be placed inside airtight container and kept inside the refrigerator to avoid them turn rancid.
Preparation & Serving Methods
Peanut kernels usually eaten as is, by cracking them with firm pressure between fingers or using clippers, or nutcracker machine. The nuts can also be enjoyed roasted, boiled, salted, or sweetened.
They are nutty, yet pleasantly sweet in taste. Roasting enhances taste, augments antioxidants levels like p-coumaric acid, and helps remove toxic aflatoxin.
Roasted and crushed kernels often sprinkled over salads, desserts, particularly sundaes and other dairy based preparations.
Boiled peanuts possess unique flavor and taste. Boiling, in fact, enriches their nutritional and antioxidants profile.
Peanut butter is a food-paste made of ground-roasted nuts, with or without addition of oil. It is popular throughout the world and commonly used as dip/spread. Peanut-milk is also a popular lactose-free milk like healthy drink.
Peanut "chutney" or paste, made from these nuts, chili peppers, salt, coriander leaves, garlic and mustard seeds, is a popular dip among south Indian, Sri Lanka region.
Peanut oil is another healthy source of edible cooking oil like soy or olive oils. It is widely employed in cooking for its aromatic flavor, especially in many South Indian states, and Sri Lanka.
Safety Profile
Peanut allergy is a type of hypersensitivity response in some people to food substances prepared using these nuts. The resultant over-reaction of the immune system may manifest as severe physical symptoms like vomiting, stomach-pain, swelling of lips and throat leading to breathing difficulty, chest congestion, and sometimes death. It is, therefore, advised to avoid any food preparations that contain peanut products in these individuals.
Peanuts are one of the crops that are susceptible to fungal (mold) infection, especially by aspergillus flavus which produces aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is a very powerful and dangerous known carcinogen that may cause liver cirrhosis and cancer. Roasting helps reduce toxin levels in these nuts and thus offers some protection against aflatoxin.

Hello everyone,
Today I want to talk about the use of sexual components in the Advertising.
Sexual elements have been linked to Advertising for a long time. The reason is that sex is an important part of humans life. It can be linked to people as a biological way or an emotional way. There are some brands that use sexual elements with a bit of humor on its advertisings. It is clear that the number of the use of sexual components in the ads increase constantly.
However, sex in the advertisings is criticized as well. A lot of people think that sex elements in the advertising can increase gender discrimination. Also, consumers could compare an individual placed in an advertising to an object.
Although woman have always been an important part of sex in the advertising, nowadays, man are becoming an important sexual component as well, which could equilibrate the "balance" of the gender discrimination.
The point is that, whether people like it or not, sex elements in adverts sell, and that's a fact. It could be that consumers seem to be already so used to this kind of advertising, that it creates a pass over to these components, specially through a subtle sexual advert.
Nonetheless, I believe that both sexual elements and controversy are linked. Therefore, in my opinion, a variety of brands create some adverts in order to create controversy and erase the campaign afterwards with the only intent of creating brand awareness.
What do you think about these type of adverts? Do you think it is a good marketing strategy? Do you believe that the controversy it generates is even more important than the advert itself?
Following, some adverts linking brands to sexuality

text: ~ROLLER COASTER PHYSICS~ The Science Behind the Thrills Turning Points in Roller Coaster History The very first "roller coasters" were created in Russia in the 1600's, and were nothing like the typical roller coaster that comes to mind today. People rode down steep ice slides on large sleds made from either wood or ice that were slowed with sand at the end of the ride. These sleds required skill to navigate down the slides, and accidents were frequent. A Frenchman tried to cash in on the popularity of the Russian ice slides by building one in France, but the warm climate quickly ended his attempts with ice. A waxed wooden slide proved to be much more feasible, along with wooden wheeled sleds. Just as with the ice slides, the necessity of navigation skills caused many accidents, so tracks were produced to keep the sleds in line. In the 1850's, the first shot at a vertical loop was made in France. This "Centrifuge Railway" offered a rail car that would travel through the loop with nothing keeping it there aside from its own centripetal acceleration. Government officials quickly shut the operation down after one accident. The beginning of American roller coasters was near the end of the 19th century when railway companies set up amusement parks at the end of their lines to increase business on the weekends. In 1884 the first real roller coaster in America was introduced: a gravity driven switchback train. Passengers would climb a set of stairs to board the car, which was then pushed from the station to travel down a hill and over a few bumps. At the bottom, the passengers got out and climbed another set of stairs while workers hoisted the car to the top of the second station. The passengers got back into the car and rode to the first station on a second track. Another attempt at a vertical loop was tried in 1898, and was called the Flip-Flap Railway. However, the loop on this ride was a circle, as opposed to the clothoid loops that are used in roller coaster design today. This caused a problem: the forces generated by the circular loop were so strong that riders' necks were snapped. The beginning of the 20th Century saw great leaps in roller coaster safety. The first roller coaster to employ trains with an up-stop wheel system that held to the track rather than just sitting atop it was built in 1912. This was a huge leap as it gave the opportunity for greater speed and steeper hills. Many coasters were built through the 1920's, but the 1929 stock market crash, the Great Depression and World War II saw a severe decline in their numbers. Disneyland, America's first theme park, opened in 1955, and brought with it a new era for amusement parks. Disney introduced the first tubular steel roller coaster, the Matterhorn, in 1959. Before this, roller coasters had always been built from wood, but the steel track was a huge improvement, offering not only greater stability, but also opening the door for loops and corkscrews. Gravity and Potential Energy Gravity is the driving force of a roller coaster. From the moment the roller coaster train passes the peak of the lift hill, it is the acceleration due to gravity that brings it back to the beginning. When the train is released from the top of the lift hill, gravity pulls it down. The train begins slowly, then picks up speed as it approaches the bottom of the hill. As it begins to climb the next hill, the speed decreases. This is because of the acceleration due to gravity, which occurs at 9.80m/s2 straight down toward the center of the Earth. The initial hill, or the lift hill, is the tallest in the entire ride. As the train is pulled to the top, it is gaining potential, or stored energy. The higher the lift, the greater the amount of potential energy gained by the train. This is shown by the equation for potential energy: Ug = mgh Where Ug is potential energy, m is mass in kilograms, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the distance above the ground in meters. Because mass and gravity are constant for the train, if the height of the train above the ground is increased, the potential energy must also increase. This means that the potential energy for the roller coaster system is greatest at the highest point on the track: the top of the lift hill. Velocity and Kinetic Energy As the roller coaster train begins its descent from the lift hill, its velocity increases. This causes the train to gain kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. The faster the train moves, the more kinetic energy the train gains. This is shown by the equation for kinetic energy: K = 1/2mv2 Where K is kinetic energy, m is mass in kilograms, and v is velocity in meters per second. Because the mass is constant, if the velocity is increased, the kinetic energy must also increase. This means that the kinetic energy for the roller coaster system is greatest at the bottom of the highest hill on the track: the bottom of the lift hill. When the train begins to climb the next hill on the track, the train starts to slow down, thereby decreasing its kinetic energy. Conservation of Energy Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be converted from one form to another. For the idealized roller coaster, all energy is conserved through conservative forces, such as gravity. As the train accelerates down the lift hill, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. When the train ascends another hill, the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy again. This is conservation of mechanical energy, and it continues throughout the entire ride. The total mechanical energy for the train is shown by the equation: E=K+U Where E is the total mechanical energy, K is kinetic energy, and U is potential energy. From this, the equation for conservation of total mechanical energy can be derived: Ei = Ef or Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf Where Ei is total initial mechanical energy and Ef is total final mechanical energy. This shows that the total initial mechanical energy equals the total final mechanical energy for the system. It is because of this phenomenon that a roller coaster is called a "coaster." After the initial input of energy to carry the train up the lift hill, the roller coaster simply coasts through the rest of the ride. Friction For a non-idealized roller coaster system, not all of the energy is conserved. Friction is the main cause of energy leaks in the system and the reason why mechanical energy is not fully conserved for a real roller coaster. This is because friction is a nonconservative force. Nonconservative forces are forces that cause a change in total mechanical energy. Friction opposes motion by working in the opposite direction. The friction between the train and its tracks as well as between the train and the air take energy out of the system, slowing the train and creating both heat and sound. This effect is most noticeable at the end of the ride as all remaining kinetic energy is taken out of the system though brakes. Because of the energy leaks due to friction, each successive hill or loop on a roller coaster must be shorter than all the hills or loops previous to it, otherwise the train will not have enough energy to make it all the way over. Centripetal Acceleration Curves are an essential part of a roller coaster, and centripetal acceleration is part of moving in a circular path. Therefore, centripetal acceleration is also an essential part of a roller coaster. Centripetal acceleration points toward the center of the circular path of the train, but is felt by passengers as a force pushing them to the outer edge of the circular path. This feeling is often described as centrifugal force, although there is no actual force pushing or pulling passengers away from the circle. The "centrifugal force" is actually your body's inertia, or its resistance to the train's change in direction: your body wants to continue in a straight line and attempts to do so as the train turns. Luckily, your body is strapped into the roller coaster train, otherwise your body would continue in the straight path that the train was following before it entered the curve. The equation for centripetal acceleration is: ar = v2 / r Where ar is centripetal acceleration, v is velocity in meters per second, and r is the radius of the circle in meters. This means that the higher the train's velocity, the greater the centripetal acceleration. This also means that the smaller the curve of the path being traveled, the greater the centripetal acceleration. Because of this, many high-speed roller coasters use banked turns rather than the flat ones that are safe for slower speeds. Banking the turns in a roller coaster gives you the feeling of being pushed into your seat rather than being thrown to the side of the car. G-Forces G-forces are used for explaining the relative effects of centripetal acceleration that a rider feels while on a roller coaster. Consequently, the greater the centripetal acceleration, the greater the G-forces felt by the passengers. A force of 1 G is the usual force of the Earth's gravitational pull that a person feels when they are at rest on the Earth's surface; in other words, it can be described as a person's normal weight. When a person feels weightless, as in free fall or in space, they are experiencing 0 G's. When the roller coaster train is going down a hill, the passengers usually undergo somewhere between 0 and 1 G. However, if the top of the hill is curved more narrowly than a parabola, the passengers will experience negative G's as they rise above the seat and get pushed down by the lap bar. This is because gravity and the passengers' inertia would have them fall in a parabolic arc. G-forces greater than 1 can be felt at the bottom of hills as the train changes direction. In this case the train is pushing up on the passengers with more than the force of gravity because it is changing their direction of movement from down to up. G-forces that are felt when changing direction horizontally are called lateral G's. Lateral G's can be converted into normal G-forces by banking turns. Clothoid Loop Roller coasters today employ clothoid loops rather than the circular loops of earlier roller coasters. This is because circular loops require greater entry speeds to complete the loop. The greater entry speeds subject passengers to greater centripetal acceleration through the lower half of the loop, therefore greater G's. If the radius is reduced at the top of the loop, the centripetal acceleration is increased sufficiently to keep the passengers and the train from slowing too much as they move through the loop. A large radius is kept through the bottom half of the loop, thereby reducing the centripetal acceleration and the G's acting on the passengers. Bibliography Amusement Park Physics. 2002.

Gerry is an amazing coach. I was a triathlete and swimming was my weakest discipline. Swimming with Gerry I was able to significantly improve my times. More importantly, I became a much better and more efficient swimmer overall. Gerry always provided individualized tips and managed to customize the workouts for swimmers of all abilities despite having tons of people in the pool at the same time. I used to dread swimming laps, but Gerry's coaching really changed that for me.

I remember that trending topic on Twitter last year. I guess it all started when Hillary Duff got pregnant, thus, Lizzy McGuire is no longer a kid. A sure sign that childhood is over for all of us who followed that series. Just recently the universe reminded me again that I am not getting any younger and so does my idols. My childhood was over a long time ago and now young adulthood is over too.
A few weeks ago I started watching the Jdorama Rich Man, Poor Woman starring Oguri Shun and Ishihara Satomi. I finished it last night with a grin on my face not just because of the fun story and happy ending but because I am back in Jdoramaland! Finally! My first dorama in three years! I didn't know that grin would be short lived. After watching the last episode of RMPW I scoured the internet for Oguri Shun news. I am not updated with the latest on Japanese showbiz so I was really shocked when I read the news that he is already married to Yamada Yu! WHAT? Is this true? asdfghjkl! How come Sano (Hana Kimi) tied the knot with Makiko (Seigi No Mikata)? Yamada Yu should make babies with Mukai Osamu because they are my ultimate Jdorama OTP! LOL. Real and reel can get confusing sometimes. But the fact still remains that Oguri Shun and Yamada Yu are married.
|Pretty couple Oguri Shun and Yamada Yu
|Photo from their wedding in Hawaii
I don't usually give a shit over these marriages. I still get excited over their oppaness but I can't say my fan girl heart came out unscathed each time I hear news like that. But what can I do? Time flies and I have to catch up with it so I won't get left behind. So I told myself that when I find out more of these news in the future, I am just going to let my fan girl heart cry in pain and get over it.
|It's okay, Junsu.
Seriously, I am getting older! I need to get over this craziness... Hmm.. maybe later!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The USS Mesa Verde with 550 Marines on board entered the Gulf on Monday to support possible U.S. action to help Iraq's Shi'ite-led government combat a Sunni Islamist insurgency that has overtaken large areas of the country's north, CNN reported.
The USS Mesa Verde joins the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush, which the Pentagon ordered on Saturday to move into the Gulf. President Barack Obama has said he is considering military action, short of putting U.S. troops in Iraq, to aid that government's efforts to stop the insurgency.

Alberta junior high students who'd rather program a robot than solve math equations should soon have more school options available to them.
Trade and career options coming to Alberta junior high school students
Alberta junior high students who would rather program a robot than solve math equations will soon have more course options.
After years in the testing phase, classes in career and technology foundations will be part of Alberta's curriculum for grades 5 to 9 starting next fall, Education Minister David Eggen said Wednesday.
"We realized how incredibly successful these programs were for retaining students, for generating interest, and for making connections between the careers or the post-secondary study that the high school students might engage in," Eggen said at Westmount Junior High School, where students were first offered career and technology classes last September.
On Wednesday, Westmount students molded clay in pottery class, created gruesome arm wounds in a make-up class, and invited Eggen to smash a hole into drywall for them to repair.
Since the school began offering the options, enrolment at Westmount has grown 20 per cent. Attendance in all classes is up 40 per cent, Eggen said.
Some schools have been toying with the options for nearly a decade. About 45 Alberta schools currently offer these alternatives to older elementary and junior high students.
When asked if Grade 5 might be a little young for children to be considering careers, Eggen said the options can allow kids to begin learning about possible jobs and provide basic skills required in a diverse economy.
Incorporating classes in the trades, technology, business, fashion, and cooking have been vital in engaging high school students. Educators wanted to know how to expand that to junior high, when many pupils' interest in school begins to wane.
There was no money attached to Eggen's announcement. School districts will have to find money for the programs within their existing budgets, or, perhaps, by charging school fees.
